This is Lushun Port. In 1904, the Russo-Japanese War broke out, and the new and old powers fought for the rights and interests of the Qing Dynasty's Longxing Land. The Japanese conducted a blockade operation at Lushunkou, intending to seal off the Russian fleet in the harbor.
During the second closed operation, Lieutenant Colonel Takeo Hirose was a search and rescue soldier, but he did not retreat, and eventually died in battle. As a result, he was also named a military god by the Japanese army, and a tall statue was erected in a square in Tokyo. General Nogi Kitenori, who was responsible for attacking the Lushun fortress on land, used the tactic of the sea of people, resulting in heavy casualties and was scolded as a fool. Although both sons died in the battlefield, the family was stoned every day by the fanatical people who wanted him to commit suicide. Frightened his wife, he did not dare to go out. Later, the Japanese army built a bullet-shaped monument on Hill 203 (pictured). Nogi Renami renamed this highland Erling Mountain.
At the end of the Russo-Japanese War, Japan took over Russia's rights and interests in the northeast. In order to gain more profits, they established the Kanto Governor's Palace here and ruled. (This picture shows Shenyang City Street)
We know that Japan is about the East. However, this Kanto is the Kanto in the traditional Chinese sense, that is, east of Shanhaiguan. (This picture shows the Kanto Governor's Mansion)
Its main body is located on the Jinzhou Peninsula, including Lushun, Dalian, Jinzhou and other places. In 1899, more than 3,200 square kilometers of land were leased to Russia, commonly known as the Kanto Oblast. (This picture shows the War Department of the Kwantung Governor's Office)
In the 32nd year of Guangxu (Meiji 39, 1906), the Kwantung Governor's Office was established to replace the Kanto Governor's Office established in October of the previous year, and the Governor Oshima Yoshimasa was transformed into the Governor.

The main functions and powers of the Kwantung Governor's Office were to control and administer the affairs related to the Kwantung Prefecture and the protection and management of the South Manchuria Railway. Its diplomacy, military and political affairs, operations, and education are all guided by the relevant institutions in Japan.

The emperor of the mountain is far away, and the two sides will inevitably clash in order to compete for power and profit. After all, being a governor here is much cooler than being a minister at home. And ministers, how can they think of letting go?

The Kwantung Governor's Office existed until 1919, and then reorganized into the Kwantung Office to implement the division of military and civilian rule, and its power was reduced, similar to that of the civil affairs bureau under the jurisdiction of the previous Governor's Office.

In 1934, the Kwantung Agency was reorganized into the Kwantung Bureau to accommodate the so-called Manchukuo rule until the surrender of Japan in 1945. (This picture shows the Agricultural Test Site of the Governor's Mansion)
