Mention the end of the Qing Dynasty may be many people will be full of emotions, as the last dynasty of China's feudal society, its end has disgraced China for thousands of years, this is precisely because the corruption of the Qing Dynasty led to the Chinese people in the waters in the water, there are various warlords inside, there are other powers looking at the tiger, the Chinese nation once fell into the situation of extinction of the species. And Li Hongzhang was a prominent figure at the end of the Qing Dynasty, and whenever a treaty of mourning power and humiliation of the country was signed, It must be Handled by Li Hongzhang himself, which made many people think that Li Hongzhang was a lord who betrayed the lord and sought glory, in fact, he was a rare tyrant in that era, but he was limited by various factors, and eventually he was depressed, and he warned future generations at the end of his life that if China is strong, it must destroy this country, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
As the only important minister at the end of the Qing Dynasty who could solve Cixi's worries and difficulties, Li Hongzhang was highly respected and concentrated all his power in one, and he was also one of the important figures who promoted the foreign affairs movement, and also established the Beiyang Marine Division in line with the world, according to the reason, Li Hongzhang should have made a big achievement, but who could have imagined that he would become a scapegoat for the Qing court, although his thinking was very advanced, but he blindly pursued peace and avoided war, which was also one of the main reasons for accelerating the collapse of the Qing court.
Li Hongzhang also belonged to the kind of people who became late in the world, although he was born in a rich family and his father and Zeng Guofanpan were close friends, so at a very young age Li Hongzhang worshiped Zeng Guofan as a teacher, but Zeng Guofan pan recommended several times and did not get the imperial court to reuse, and later the Qing court was helpless in the face of the twisting army, forced to finally have to reuse Li Hongzhang, since then Li Hongzhang began to walk in peace, and finally became a heavy minister who sat on an equal footing with his teacher Zeng Guofan.
Li Hongzhang is usually mainly responsible for communicating with foreigners more, so the Qing court will let Li Hongzhang go every time it signs a contract, and over time Li Hongzhang has a very deep understanding of foreigners, he believes that among many neighboring countries, Tsarist Russia and Japan are the greatest threat to the Qing court, and if the Qing court wants to be strong, it must first get rid of the two of them, otherwise there will be endless troubles, but unfortunately Li Hongzhang only talked about it and did not act. Moreover, he was very disgusted with war and advocated peace. Even if the military strength of the Qing court at that time was stronger than that of Japan, it was still hanged by Japan, and even the Beiyang Marine Division, which was established by hand, was also destroyed, making the Qing precarious.
Before Li Hongzhang died, he warned his descendants that japan must be destroyed first, but at that time the Qing Dynasty had shaken its foundations and soon perished, while Japan began to rise and move toward the path of militarism, and began to plan to invade China.
