In the Qing Dynasty, the Three Dynasties of Kangxi Yongzheng Qianlong can be said to be the strongest, not only attacked the invaders externally, unified sovereignty internally, and the Kangxi Emperor reigned with Ping San Fan, took Taiwan, and defended the unity of the country, at that time, shi Lang, the general of the Zheng family's small imperial court who was also the strongest general in the naval warfare of the Qing Dynasty at that time, once wrote to the Kangxi Emperor, proposing to attack Japan in order to seek long-term peace and stability, and then he could also follow the Example of the Ming Dynasty to go to sea and open up the Maritime Silk Road, which in our opinion is a good strategy for a strong army and a rich country, but why was it rejected by the Kangxi Emperor? The following is a small editor to focus on the analysis.
It turned out that in the early days of Kangxi's succession, the Mongol Jungar Department had always disobeyed the Qing Dynasty's dispatches, and the Tsarist Russia in Siberia, that is, the Luocha State, also looked at the Great Qing Tiger and constantly invaded China's borders, and it could be said that it had coveted China's Yaksa region for a long time, and internally there was the unstable factor of Aobai, as well as Wu Sangui, the king of the clan who could counterattack at any time, and Shi Lang's old lord Taiwan Zheng Jing also constantly invaded the Qing border, for which the Qing Dynasty can be described as internal and external troubles. Coupled with the flooding of the Yellow River and the unspeakable suffering of the people, Kangxi was fortunate to have the guidance of Wu Ciyou, handled the state affairs in an orderly manner, and solved these factors step by step, which led to the great Qing Dynasty, and Kangxi adopted different means for these unstable factors.
Kangxi adopted a policy of appeasement to the ZhierBu, and adopted concessions to the Luocha state and even Yaksa (Luochaguo later had to provoke Kangxi before sending people to beat him back and sign a treaty) The reason for this was because Kangxi put all his emphasis on governing the Central Plains, which allowed the Great Qing to breathe a sigh of relief from internal and external troubles, and the ability of the famous naval war general Shi Lang is clear, he is known as the Sea Thunderbolt, he is a disciple of Yao Qisheng, the hero of Taiwan, and the Qing Dynasty was able to take over All by Yao Qisheng's strategy against Shi Lang. Then back to the original question again, Kangxi dismissed Shi Lang's request to fight Japan, and xiaobian believes that there are three reasons.
One: historical reasons
In the Yuan Dynasty, the territory laid down by Kublai Khan, the ancestor of the Yuan Dynasty, can be described as the world's first, the iron horse swept through Asia, and expanded the territory to Europe, which can be described as invincible in the world! Kublai Khan's strength at that time could not take over Japan, because there was not a single general in the country who was proficient in water warfare! Kublai Khan's conquest of japan was mostly cavalry, planning to sweep Through Japan with iron horses after landing, but the local people were trapped and lacking horses, so they were defeated by Japan, and Kangxi believed that the national strength at that time was not as good as that of the Yuan Dynasty, although there were famous generals like Shi Lang, but it was not enough to take risks.
Second: the reason for employing people
After all, Shi Lang was a general of the Zheng family's imperial court, although he had meritorious service in receiving Taiwan, but Shi Lang had not been in the Qing Dynasty for several years, so Kangxi had to defend him, in case Shi Lang led an expedition, and then supported the army to stand on his own, coupled with Shi Lang's ability to fight water, it was almost a sea overlord! Therefore, Kangxi would not be stupid enough to let a general fight Japan, even if Shi Lang defeated Japan, it was likely that he would make a wedding dress for others!
Three: The root cause
Japan was not within Kangxi's consideration. Kangxi was a monarch who had a unified view of the overall situation, in addition to Aobai, the withdrawal of San Francisco, the collection of Taiwan, Pinggardan, and the control of the Flood of the Yellow River, which were interlocked and gradual, Shi Lang's war plan against Japan was not within his target range at all, if he dared to attack Japan, it might bring opportunities to the surrounding Luocha State and the Dzungar Department, not to mention whether Shi Lang could fight down or not, plus the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate and the Qing Dynasty had nothing to do, Kangxi did not need to poke japan for that small place.
So, from these three points, this is the reason why Kangxi dismissed Shi Lang's attack on Japan. Was Kangxi afraid of Shi Lang's self-reliance or afraid of not being able to defeat Japan? You can leave a message in the comment area below, your support is the motivation for my update, goodbye.
