If there is humiliation, perhaps modern history is the humiliation of the Eight Classics, after all, there is no war that did not end in the case of reparations or land cession, and there is really no era more humiliating than at that time. And the Sino-Japanese War alone brought such humiliation to the limit, and the great Qing Dynasty took out almost all the elites, but in exchange for the victory of the little Japan, and it was extremely embarrassing in the final result.
Of course, the embarrassment here is not only the comparison of the results of the battle, but also the comparison of the results of the cross-strait struggle. At that time, although Taiwan did not have any backup such as the dynasty, it still allowed 30,000 Japanese troops to suffer losses. The loss of these quantities was not enough, and even the emperor's uncle stayed on the road of invasion. And this prince can be said to be the first person to die in another country since the Japanese invasion, and his name is Kita-Shirakawa Nohku.
In fact, this imperial uncle is also very special, of course, all the special is due to the royal bloodline. Originally, he was not the direct uncle of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er, so he had no prince's life at all. But later, the emperor did not know why, but actually received it to the imperial family, and also became the crown prince. It is this kind of ghost that makes the god send down, the son of a good king of the clan, and the ghost makes the god send a serious prince, which is really a blessing for the chosen one.
And this emperor may not be familiar with you, but you must know it, after all, among all the emperors, it is a rare famous person, and it is quite high, that is, Emperor Meiji. Therefore, in summary, we actually found that this prince was actually not ordinary, and this famous Meiji was his nephew. And the nephew is the emperor, often at this time the average uncle will not be ordinary, the extraordinary here may not be easy to describe. But if we compare Zhu Yunjiao with his uncle, we can find out what the extraordinary here really means.
Of course, this uncle and nephew also walked into this law of history, and power became a estrangement between the two. And the dispute between the uncle and nephew is actually very familiar to us, that is, the "curtain movement". Of course, the result is already obvious today, that is, this uncle lost, and finally Meiji reached the peak. Although it failed, the Kita-Shirakawa Palace was able to stay for a long time, mainly because of this layer of identity, so it was not buried, but the royal identity was gone.
However, when Meiji's aggressive spirit re-emerged, he could only choose to restore the emperor's identity and take over the task of entering Taiwan. Of course, why do you have to use this uncle, in fact, Meiji itself also has many considerations. First of all, this uncle does have military ability, and it is difficult to find a replacement; secondly, this time is aggression, so any political views or differences can not be seen; finally, there is still the identity of the emperor, after all, if you want to invade, then you must encourage the people, and it is obvious that it is best to let the emperor go into battle.
However, the embarrassment that the Japanese side did not expect began, and they originally felt the rare strength and might of the First Sino-Japanese War. Who knew that this kind of momentum was abruptly stopped in Taiwan, and if there was no momentum like breaking bamboo, it would even be a big pain. Just one Tainan, they spent more than half a year, when they expected this time to directly take the whole island. Looking at Kita-Shirakawa For a long time, although on the one hand he is a commander-in-chief and on the other hand, he is still a prince, but these identities not only do not make him happy, but they are bitterly eaten.
First of all, in the Battle of Hsinchu, a person of his own position was almost roasted alive. That's it, later in the Battle of Chiayi, who didn't step on the thunder but stepped on the thunder of his own commander. None of these were fatal, until the Battle of Tainan, all the wounds accumulated under the infection, so in the sad urging, the emperor's uncle was actually buried in this remote corner. Looking at so many royal princes, he was the first to die in battle, and he was the most tragic, which was really miserable and ridiculous.
