How expensive can a bullet be? Presumably, many people have a spectrum in their minds, the cost of ordinary bullets is about a few yuan, if it is a precision sniper rifle bullet cost will be higher, but not as valuable as the bullet we are going to talk about today, what happened to the story, let's take a look at it together.
On July 25, 1894, the Battle of Toshima broke out, and the Sino-Japanese War began, because Japan had been planning for a long time, and the Qing Dynasty rushed to meet the battle, which ended with the defeat of China and the total destruction of the Beiyang Marine Division. When the king was defeated, the Japanese lion opened its mouth and demanded that the Qing government cut the land and pay compensation. The Qing government could not fight and fight, and could only agree with tears in its eyes and send Li Hongzhang to negotiate. Li Hongzhang naturally wanted to cut less land and pay less compensation, so he kept dragging his feet, trying to buy time to find a way. The Japanese side was naturally anxious to see that the Qing government had delayed signing the treaty, so they sent people to assassinate Li Hongzhang and let the Qing government compromise as soon as possible.
The Japanese killer was also very hardworking, and successfully shot Li Hongzhang in the head. But maybe his marksmanship is not good, but fortunately Li Hongzhangfu's life is great, the bullet is rubbing Li Hongzhang's face past, he was injured, but he can't die. The Japanese panicked again, no one died, and they were worried about the pressure of international public opinion. So when Li Hongzhang was hospitalized, the then Emperor of Japan still took his wife to visit him.
In order to maintain Japan's image in the world and to block the mouth of the Qing government, after negotiations, Japan promised to reduce the indemnity of 120 million taels of silver. At the same time, Japan also asked the Qing government to sign as soon as possible, and Li Hongzhang was also happy, he did not expect that the shot he had taken was so worthwhile, and said that if so, he would rather be shot again, and he could pay less compensation. One or two pieces of silver in the Qing Dynasty are now about 200 to 350 yuan, which is converted into yuan, which is also about 40 billion, and this bullet is undoubtedly the most expensive shot in history.
