In 1912, Empress Longyu announced the abdication of the Qing Emperor, ending the feudal imperial system that lasted for more than two thousand years, and from then on to the republic, opening a new historical era. But at this time, China has been being watched by Western powers, hoping to obtain the greatest benefits in China, especially Japan, which has been spying on china for hundreds of years.
In Asia in the mid-19th century, Japan, like China, practiced a "closed country" policy, while Japan was in the Tokugawa shogunate, and the control of foreign missionaries and merchants was very strict, and foreigners were not allowed to enter Japan, but during this period, only Chinese ships were allowed to enter Japan for trade.
However, at this time, Japan was still in the feudal society of the small peasant economy, Japan locked the door of the country, the social productivity was low, coupled with the invasion of European and American invaders, Japan began to fall into a deep crisis of the famous ethnic group. Faced with the increasingly intensifying contradictions at home, Japan began to transfer the contradictions abroad, and then the Shimonoseki War occurred with the United States, Britain, France, and the Netherlands.
In 1868, under the impetus of Emperor Meiji, Japan began to implement the "Meiji Restoration", learned from the West, and also put forward a plan to build a modern navy in eight years, building 32 large and small ships, but at this time, the Japanese Navy's military budget has reached 27% of the national finance, for the construction of a huge modern navy, Japan is already more than enough and insufficient.
Against this backdrop, Emperor Meiji paid 300,000 yuan out of his own pocket, sold all of the empress's jewelry to serve as the national treasury, reduced the royal family's expenses, and even ate only one meal a day. Prime Minister Itō Hirobumi saw that the emperor had taken the initiative to donate money, so he began to incite officials from all over the country to give speeches to the people, hoping to build a modern navy with the strength of the whole country.
Within half a year, the amount of donations had reached 2.03 million yen, and in 1892, Ding Ruchang, the then Admiral of the Beiyang Admiralty, led two huge ships of the "Dingyuan" and "Zhenyuan" to visit Yokohama, and the Japanese people at that time were amazed when they saw it, they had never seen such a large warship, but this matter was quickly used by Japanese militarists.
They began to incite antagonistic emotions and divert contradictions. In this context, Emperor Meiji ordered that one-tenth of the country's officials, Feng Lu, be handed over to the national treasury, while Cixi, in order to hold the 60th birthday, stopped the Beiyang Marine Division's annual expenditure of 4.5 million taels, and did not buy a new warship within three years, all of which was used to build the Summer Palace for pension and luxury birthdays.
With the unremitting support of Emperor Meiji, on the eve of the Sino-Japanese War, Japan already had 32 modern warships, 24 torpedo boats, and a total displacement of 61,373 tons, and Japan began to change from the first capitalist country in Asia to militarism and embarked on the road of foreign aggression.
In May 1942, the Japanese army occupied the county town of Tengchong in Yunnan, and the Chinese expeditionary force successively launched many battles against the Japanese army, such as the "Battle of Olive Village", the "Menglian Ambush Battle", the "Yinjiawan Ambush Battle", etc., which caused different degrees of blows to the Japanese army. By 1943, our air force bombed the Japanese troops in Tengchong County, shooting down 4 Japanese aircraft, and the battle continued until May 1944, when there was a turnaround.
The 20th Group Army of the Chinese Expeditionary Force forcibly crossed the Nu River, and after four months of resistance, it finally captured Tengchong City on September 14, captured 4 Japanese officers and more than 60 soldiers, and killed more than 100 officers and more than 6,000 soldiers under the command of the Japanese major general and the commander of the Tibetan Heavy Yasumi Daisa. Captured 7 wild mountain guns, 6 infantry guns, 10 mortars, 19 heavy machine guns, 47 light machine guns, more than 1,000 rifles, and more than 20 cars, the battle achieved unprecedented victories.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Yunnan Provincial Government built a large martyrs' cemetery in Tengchong, this cemetery is different from others, it also buries 4 Japanese soldiers, and the kneeling statue is also engraved with two words, "Wuzuka", the meaning of these two words is very heavy, we all know that this is an indecent title, Japan after learning about it, and repeatedly asked for it from our army, but in the end they were seriously rejected by our country. This is because At present, Japan is still deliberately beautifying war aggression and visiting Japanese war criminals, which is unacceptable to all anti-fascist allies.
