through the meiji restoration, Japan has established a constitutional monarchy, and by the end of the 19th century, it has achieved capitalist industrialization and become the most developed capitalist country in Asia. At that time, there were more than 3, machine workshops in Japan, and the capitalist industrial system began to be established. At the same time, Japan has also established a modern army.

On the other hand, in China, due to the closed door policy, China has gradually fallen behind the world. The development of national capitalism is constantly suppressed by feudalism and imperialism. Emperor Kangxi also represented the interests of the feudal landlord class and would never let capitalism develop.

In addition, the military strength in the Kangxi period was definitely not as good as that in the Westernization Movement, and the navy was even worse!

I suggest you know more about the Sino-Japanese War. Its main battlefields are the Yellow Sea, Bohai Sea and the Sea of Japan. Is it necessary to ask the Qing army to sail a sailboat to fight the Japanese fleet? It was the Westernization Movement that brought modern weapons, equipment and naval forces to the Qing Dynasty. Even the Qing Dynasty was defeated during the Westernization Movement, let alone during the Kangxi period.

However, if Kangxi owns these naval forces, I can't say whether it will win or lose. After all, Emperor Kangxi's military ability cannot be ignored.

However, Japan has become a member of imperialism, and the wise emperor has a famous saying (I am also a BS RB person): "If you want to open up the waves in Wan Li, you will spread your power in all directions." It can be seen that the ambition of small Japan. Japan's ambition of foreign aggression has never stopped!

Even in the prosperous time of Kanggan, it was just the afterglow of China feudal society. At that time, China had fallen behind the world in all aspects, and the so-called backwardness would be beaten! Not only the Sino-Japanese War, but also the humiliating modern history of China from 184 to 1949. ! !
