Emperor Meiji's civil and military skills are really brilliant. The Sino-Japanese War 1894, the Beiyang Navy was defeated, the Tsarist-Russian War 1905, the Russian Pacific Fleet was defeated, Korea was pacified, Taiwan Province Province was annexed, and Lushun was conquered, stepping on the bones of Chinese and Russian soldiers and civilians, and a number of "military gods" generals such as Nogi Maresuke and Tougou Heihachirou emerged.
Japan at this time, including essence, qi and spirit, is great.
1In July, 887, Emperor Meiji issued an imperial edict: I think strengthening coastal defense is something that cannot be relaxed for a day in the affairs of building a country. However, I am deeply disturbed that it is still difficult to allocate huge sums of money from the state treasury for coastal defense at once. We decided to withdraw 300,000 yuan from the national treasury to help them. I hope ministers can understand me deeply.
When the law came out, the rich people all over the country were shocked. On the streets of Tokyo, in the living rooms where rich people put exquisite flower arrangements, and in the Dojo of Go and Kendo, there are tears and noises thanking God for sending wise monarchs to Japan to govern the world. The rich competed to imitate the emperor and donated money in succession. In less than three months, the total contribution to coastal defense has reached 1.03 million. According to Kiyoshi Inoue, a Japanese scholar, "in the first decade of the Mikado system, military expenditure will probably account for more than 80% of the total expenditure."
1893 —— The year before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1893, Emperor Meiji decided to spend 300,000 Tang Yin from the national treasury for naval construction every year in the next six years. And this has exceeded one-tenth of the royal expenditure. This move once again led members of the Japanese government to donate a quarter of their salary to build ships.
Before the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, it is said that Emperor Meiji even made his civil servants "protagonists" by starving-when Japanese soldiers at the front learned that the Emperor only ate one meal a day, everyone burst into tears and cried loudly.
"Fat horse broadsword has not been handed in, the emperor empty bath for the spring and autumn period. Spell out my dream and step into the 400 states of zhina ",which is a so-called war poem written by Nogi Maresuke, the" military god "of the Japanese army, before the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. Zhina 400 states? Ha ha.
The Sino-Japanese War defeated the Qing Dynasty, and the Russo-Japanese War set a record for the yellow race to defeat the white race. Nogi Maresuke's two sons died in the land of China, which brought great achievements.
19 12 years, Emperor Meiji died of illness, and Nogi Maresuke held a wake for him. On September 13 of the same year, on the day of Meiji Emperor's funeral, Nogi Maresuke committed suicide by caesarean section with his wife and was buried with his body. After the news came out, Japan was crazy about it, and the charm of monarchs and military gods was more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
What kind of people are the Japanese trained in such a social atmosphere? What do you think of neighboring countries? How to treat war? How many Japanese teenagers regard the "military god" as an idol and step into the military camp? How many Japanese teenagers are reciting the poem "Travelling through 400 States in zhina", eager to relive the glory of Nogi Maresuke and Tougou Heihachirou in a foreign land? During the fifteen-year war of aggression against China, how many Japanese distribution factions took Nogi Maresuke and Tougou Heihachirou as examples and took up butcher knives?
Again, Hirohito, grandson and grandfather are of course the best, but the favor of Emperor Meiji can't reverse the consequences of consanguineous marriage. Hirohito was found to be unable to move his right finger since he was a child, and suffered from congenital myopia. It is said that Hirohito has never studied art and music since he was a child because of these two genetic diseases. Morality, intelligence, physique and art are obviously not fully developed.
In order to cultivate martial character, Hirohito was fostered in the Kawamura Chuns 70 days after his birth and worked as a vice admiral for four years. At the age of six, Hirohito entered the "Royal" College, and his dean was the Nogi Maresuke Army General mentioned above. Emperor Meiji personally instructed Nogi Maresuke to cultivate Hirohito into a "dynamic" generation.
1965438+On July 30th, 2002, Meiji died and Hirohito became the Crown Prince. 1 1 September, that is, two days before the Meiji official burial, Nogi Maresuke suddenly visited Hirohito and presented him with two books, Facts between China and Korea and History of Japanese Empire, written by the originator of Japanese Bushido theory. Two days later, Naimu and his wife both committed suicide in the home of Akasaka, Emperor Meiji. The death of my grandfather and Yan in two months gave Hirohito a great stimulus. Don't forget that Hirohito is only twelve years old this year. Since then, Hirohito has become extremely autistic and lonely, often abandoning his followers and gradually becoming interested in silent biology.
It is worth noting that this book entrusted to Hirohito by Nogi Maresuke on his deathbed is actually a treasure house of Japanese modern literary achievements and military strategy. The author Amber Su Xing is also a genius. He was born in 1622 and died in 1685. He has thousands of apprentices. The first half of my life was a strategist and a Confucian. After forty, he learned a lot and opened a school. His research denounced Confucianism in China, including Han, Tang, Song and Ming Dynasties, and claimed that after the death of Confucius, the Confucian orthodoxy of saints would reach the Song Dynasty.
In The Facts of China and Korea, Amber Su Xing revealed his Japanese centralism. By "China and North Korea", he means Japan, which he regards as the center of the world. From the point of view of ancient knowledge, he traced the origin of Japanese Mikado system, and threatened that the political ideal had been perfectly realized as early as ancient Japan.
A child who was born with a genetic disease, never studied art or music, and only knew martial arts, when he was twelve years old, two of his closest mentors died one after another, leaving only a brilliant record and a two-volume suicide note centered on Japan. What will such a child aim at in life?
19 14, Hirohito was sent to the Oriental Imperial College to continue his studies for seven years. The president of the Oriental Imperial College was another Japanese military god, Admiral Tougou Heihachirou.
192 1 year, Hirohito, who was still the crown prince at the age of 20, visited Europe. During his visit, Hirohito not only learned about the political structure of the West, but also showed great interest in military affairs, and visited many historical sites during the First World War. The French generals at that time expressed great admiration for the prince's mastery of military affairs, who was nearly 20 years old.
Hirohito himself made a special trip to the disabled soldiers' hospital where Napoleon's cemetery was located, and brought back a bust of Napoleon, which was later put in the study. After World War II, a statue of Lincoln was erected, and later a statue of Darwin was erected. ) That is, during this tour, he received more than a dozen Japanese military attaché s in Europe and won the oath of allegiance of young Japanese officers headed by Nagata Tieshan, Kobayashi and Okamura Ningji. The names of these young officers sound familiar to you? Hehe, the team invading China has already started construction at this time.
1926, the year after Sun Yat-sen's death, brought great pain to the people of China, and 14-year-long war of aggression against China was officially acceded to the throne. Hirohito is only 25 years old this year. A boy with congenital genetic diseases, a boy who was stimulated in his childhood, a boy who was immersed in the spirit of martial arts, and a boy who was taught by the two major Japanese army gods, boarded the position of Japanese gods. Under the illusion of Meiji Emperor's martial arts, where will such young people take Japan? Don't ask.
