Mu Ren,122nd generation Japanese Emperor, was named Meiji Emperor. He lived to be 60 years old and opposed the three emperors of China all his life. It's boring to talk about one person's great achievements, but it's relatively interesting to compare the stories of one emperor and three emperors.

Different? Cure?

Emperor Tongzhi was 4 years old and Emperor Meiji ascended the throne at the age of 6. However, the 65,438+08-year-old young man who grew up in the Imperial Palace showed little interest in taking power. Under the leadership of the supervisor and his staff, he often makes private visits incognito and often goes to restaurants, theaters and flower lanes outside Chongwenmen in Beijing to look for flowers. Unofficial history records:? Actress Xiao, and prostitute are invited to be lucky. ?

Mu Ren also likes to go out to patrol, which is larger than Tongzhi and closer to his ancestors. According to Japanese historical records, from 1876 to 188 1 year, the emperor visited all parts of the country almost once a year for 40 to 70 days. These visits are large in scale and cover a wide range of areas. What are their functions? Close the relationship between local officials, households, farmers and other local leaders and the emperor, and let the people know the existence of the emperor? . In addition, the emperor also directly intervened in education by previewing the "Guidelines for Primary School Teaching" and "Instructions for Primary School Teachers".

Tongzhi is in poor health, which even the common people have heard. 1874, Tongzhi, who just turned 19 years old, died. According to the records of Qing Dynasty, Emperor Tongzhi died of smallpox. But according to folklore, Tongzhi died of syphilis. It is said that Mu Ren seldom spoke when he was young, and his body was weak. However, after he 16-year-old succeeded to the throne, the core officials of Meiji Restoration period, such as Kubo Junyi, Sanjian Sansheng, Kimuho and others, began to gradually cultivate their own character and ambition. They replaced the public officials and female officials around the emperor with young gentry, including a mountain Tetsutaro (mountain iron boat 1836? 1888) rudely defeated the emperor in kendo practice and mercilessly threw Meiji out of the arena in sumo or judo competition. These rough education and training can be seen from the self-portrait of the body, which is quite strong.

Historical name? Tongzhi zhongxing? Times have little to do with Tongzhi emperors, but what about Japan? Meiji restoration? It is closely related to Emperor Mu Ren. Shortly after leading the government, he led a sacrifice to heaven and earth and read five vows:

First, the Guangxing meeting, everything depends on public opinion;

Second, the up and down are new, and the economy is shared;

Third, civil and military officials and even Shu Ren, so that they can formulate their own ambitions;

Fourth, get rid of old habits and customs and make everything fair between heaven and earth;

Fifth, seek knowledge in the world and show your imperial foundation.

This is a declaration of Japan's rise, and they will soon prove it. From the body to hobbies, the enlightened era under the two emperors has shown a completely different orientation, and the future war has been written from the beginning.

? Bright? Different ways

1874, 3-year-old Emperor Guangxu ascended the throne.

The 22-year-old Meiji Emperor gave him a gift, and the Japanese who had been practicing for six years sent troops to invade Taiwan Province Province of China. Soon, Prince Gong, representing the Qing Dynasty, and Kengo Kuma, representing the Japanese, signed the Beijing Special Feature in Beijing. The content is not complicated: admit that the Japanese invaded Taiwan Province? China didn't mean to protect the people, did he? ; In the home of the murdered refugees, China gave a pension of 65,438+2 million yuan; China is willing to keep all the temples and houses in Taiwan Province for his own use and pay 402,000 yuan.

The etiquette of the Qing Dynasty thought that it was enough to give some money to let the Japanese open the way, but Meiji * * * tried not only to give money. At this time, Guangxu was familiar with the huge palace, and the world was just the Forbidden City to him, because he was only 3 years old.

For 20 years, Guangxu was growing, and Emperor Meiji did not forget to give it to him from time to time? A gift? The list of ceremonies is as follows: In the eighth year of Meiji (1875), troops invaded North Korea to make Jianghua Island, and the following year, North Korea was forced to sign the Jianghua Treaty. The 15th year of Meiji (1882)? Renwu mutiny? And forced North Korea to sign the Jiwupu Treaty. In the 18th year of Meiji (1885), what's the use? Shen Jia coup? Forcing North Korea * * * to sign the Seoul Treaty and conclude the Tianjin Special Article with Qing * * *. 1885 after the sino-French war, meiji * * * further stepped up its preparations for the war of aggression against Korea, and finally used Korea in 1894? Dongxuedao? The peasant uprising triggered the Sino-Japanese War.

Emperor Guangxu ruled 1889. The old political trick was staged again, and North Korea immediately formed a government headed by Emperor Guangxu? Emperor party? And headed by Empress Dowager Cixi? After the party? The infighting between them. In order to appease Empress Dowager Cixi, Guangxu chose to rebuild the Summer Palace for her. To this end, he had to apportion money to officials all over the country. The largest sum comes from Li Hongzhang and the navy's military expenditure.

Emperor Meiji of Japan did not relax. This year, he promulgated the Constitution of the Great Japanese Empire, commonly known as? Meiji Constitution? , established his power, but also pushed the westernization of the Japanese political system to the * * * era. The Great Qing Dynasty will exist only after 1906, under the situation of internal and external pressure? Constitutional government? At that time, the last six years had passed since the end of the empire, and the life of Emperor Guangxu was coming to an end.

1894, China and Japan went to war. Meiji is 42 years old and Guangxu is 23 years old. But the countries they rule can exchange ages.

Meiji stepped onto the peak of his career. He personally served as the supreme commander of the Japanese army, led the Sino-Japanese War (1894) and the Russo-Japanese War (1904) abroad, and sent Taiwan Province Province to Japan in the year after the Sino-Japanese War. The residents of the whole island refused to accept Japan, and the Japanese war broke out twice (1895) and once abroad. As a result, Taiwan Province Province and the Korean Peninsula became Japanese colonies, and Sakhalin Island was incorporated into the territory of the Japanese Empire. Japan has rapidly developed into the first empire in modern East Asia.

Guangxu was determined to reform and innovate after the war. Is it the king of national subjugation? 1898, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao were used to promote the New Deal, and Tan Sitong and other four military ministers were used to overhead the former military ministers, which was opposed by the ruling conservatives headed by Empress Dowager Cixi. So the New Deal faded after a hundred days, and Guangxu lost his freedom. 1908, Cixi was poisoned in Yingtai the day before her death, at the age of 38.

A complete country without a country

The standard image of Emperor Meiji is a military uniform photo. In the prime of life, Mu Ren was dressed in western-style military etiquette, with thick eyebrows and a beard, which was quite military and manly. Dress can not only represent the fashion of an era, but also represent a cultural turn. During the Meiji era, officers and officials began to wear western-style clothes. According to records, Mu Ren usually took the lead in wearing military uniforms and eating western food, leaving many photos of military uniforms. The uniform created by Mu Ren for the Japanese army once retained the kimono style. Later, he hired retired officers from the American Civil War to train the new Japanese army. American military uniforms have become the most popular styles in Japan.

Although Puyi was different from her predecessor, she studied English from the beginning and even wore a suit and drank coffee. But the only military uniform photo in his life was in? Manchukuo? When I was emperor. But he didn't understand that even after their ancestors captured the Central Plains, there was still only one country here, and that was China.

1906 When Puyi ascended the throne, Japan under Meiji rule had just defeated Russia and became the overlord of the East. This is the first time in modern history that the eastern countries have defeated the western countries. So thousands of Japanese began to study in China.

Mu Ren reigned for 45 years and died on July 30th, 19 12. During his reign, he turned Japan from a backward feudal country into a militaristic power, which was regarded by the later Japanese militaristic regime? Despise the Lord? . Three months later, Puyi announced his abdication, and the Qing Empire immediately ended.

?

After the Republic of China, Puyi will still appear on the historical stage. But he had to rely on the protection of Emperor Hirohito, the grandson of Emperor Meiji, and there were many such acts in the history of China. They all have a common name: Emperor Er.
