I don't know if you have ever read the book "Genius on the Left, Madman on the Right", but most of the people who behave strangely contain some kind of talent that others cannot have. For example, the great writer Dickens, who has a necrophilia and loves to go to the morgue, has always said that there is a strange force that attracts him to the past. Another example is the great writer Ibsen, who actually raised a scorpion at home and stared at this scorpion for a long time every day. And Li Qingzhao, as we know it, is an absolute goddess of gambling, who loves gambling to the point of infatuation.
Today, Xiaobian will introduce you to a crazy person, but also a genius. He was mainly active in the 19th century, with many eccentricities, but excellent ability. Hailed by the German Emperor as "the most terrible man of the century", he was the Japanese Motojiro Akashi.
Akashi Motojiro, a native of Fukuoka Prefecture, whose father was forced to commit suicide because of his participation in the Fall of the Curtain Movement, waited until the emperor returned to power, listed him as a descendant of heroic martyrs, and adopted a preferential policy. This man was devoted to martial arts, and at a very young age, he was admitted to the Army Infant School, then to the Army Non-Commissioned Officer School, and then to the Army University.
Strangely, his popularity is not very good, when he was in school, he behaved strangely, he was not good at words, and his partial subjects were very serious, except for the good results in military chart making and advanced mathematical calculus, the results of other subjects were a mess, which was simply unbearable.
This person loves cats and carries one with him on any occasion, even when talking to others. And this person likes to smoke, one after another, the soot does not bounce, and it does not matter if it falls on the clothes. But any new uniform issued by the army will be burned to pieces by his smoke in less than three days. What's even more frightening is that this person actually sat down to urinate! When talking to a friend, he suddenly urinated urgently, took off his pants and peed, and found his friend's shoes, which made the friend very disliked.
It is such a "strange thing", but it has been blown into the sky by the Japanese, which is even more powerful than their "military god" Nogi Kitenori. Because this person was not welcomed at home, he was sent to study in various countries, during which time he learned the language of 8 countries! It's jaw-dropping.
What is even more frightening is that this person went so far as to secretly meet with revolutionaries in Russia during the Russo-Japanese War and request that the Revolutionary Party provide information on the Russian army when the Revolutionary Party was fighting the Japanese army. The revolutionaries flatly refused, calling it treason. But Akashi Motojiro said: How can you be treasonous if you are contributing to the overthrow of the feudal system in Russia and bringing hope to the vast number of serfs? How glorious is that? And Akashi Motojiro offered a condition that the revolutionaries could not refuse: arms for the revolutionaries.
Thus, during the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese army always received a steady stream of information from the Russian army, which was decisive for the victory of the battle. But the problem arose: after the end of the war, the revolutionaries demanded ammunition from Akashi Motojiro, and the Japanese headquarters felt that the price was too expensive, so they refused to allocate funds to buy it. Since the military department did not give it, Akashi Motojiro raised it himself. He used his drawing and mathematical knowledge to go into the casino to gamble money, and the winning casino owner came out to beg Akashi Motojiro to leave, and said that he would help Akashi Motojiro raise funds, and the huge amount of money forced him to win back at the gambling table, finally blocking the mouth of the revolutionary party.
After the victory in the Russo-Japanese War, the Japanese people worshiped Akashi Motojiro to the point of exaggeration, and went so far as to say: The Russo-Japanese War could not be won without Nogi Kiten, but the war could not be won without Akashi Motojiro. It is worth mentioning that Akashi Motojiro was later transferred to Taiwan as the governor, died of illness in Taiwan, and was also buried in Taiwan. When the distant German emperor heard about Akashi Motojiro, he exclaimed, "He is the most terrible man of this century!" ”
Although this person behaves strangely, he is really capable. However, during the period when he was governor of Taiwan, this person carried out high-handed rule over Taiwan and brutally killed many Taiwan compatriots.
