From 65438 to 0937, the Japanese invasion of China interrupted the construction of golden decade in China and changed the historical trend of China. Facing the disparity in strength between China and Japan, China has not been conquered, but has won the final victory, which shows that the forces that the Chinese nation can rally after modernization are invincible.
In fact, there has always been a "mainland dream" in Japan. This dream has been handed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years, and almost precipitated into a cultural psychology. During the 1,000 years from the 4th century to the 20th century, Japan expanded to the Asian continent six times by violent means, and the pattern was basically a routine, that is, taking the Korean Peninsula as a springboard and then leaping into China.
The first time was during the Southern and Northern Dynasties in China, when Japan invaded Silla and established "Japan House" to fight against Koguryo. Baekje countries on the Korean peninsula were forced to pay tribute to Japan. The second time was the twentieth year of Emperor Yangdi. In order to restore Na Ren's power, the Japanese sent 65,438+0,000 troops to Silla. The third time, the fight broke up. In August, 663, Japan left the army by the Korean War, and the Japanese navy fought against the Tang Dynasty and Silla Navy in Baicun River. After the defeat of the Japanese army, envoys were sent to study the Datang system. This battle has kept Japan honest for a whole thousand years.
The fourth time is more famous. One thousand years later, during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, Japanese Toyotomi Hideyoshi tried to use Korea as a springboard to embezzle China, which was resisted by the allied forces of China and North Korea. In A.D. 1597, 1 1, the Japanese navy was defeated in a naval battle with exposed beams.
The fifth time was in the late Qing Dynasty, when Japan, which had achieved initial industrialization, once again got its hands on the situation in North Korea, and then the Sino-Japanese War broke out. The sixth time was of course the war of aggression against China before 1937.
Throughout the historical development of Japan, foreign aggression, especially the attempt to conquer China and control East Asia, has always been the basic strategy. The front is the official army, and the side is the folk warriors and ronin, just like pirates who burned and looted along the coast of China in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. The Asian continent only took the initiative to attack Japan once, and that was during Kublai Khan's Yuan conquest of Japan. In fact, Kublai Khan is very insightful. Judging from Japan's struggle with the Tang Dynasty for the dominance of North Korea and its unwillingness to return to the vassal relationship, Japan is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and it will bring harm to the Asian continent sooner or later.
It is better to take the initiative and solve it as soon as possible than to make a big noise. Kublai Khan conquered Japan twice, and both suffered great storms at sea. But this kind of attack still has a deterrent effect. Japan has not dared to take the initiative to fight for more than 200 years.
Since modern times, Japan's historical concepts, values and social operation system have remained stable. From 1592 to 1945, the ideas and concepts behind Japan's wars in East Asia, such as the Japanese Rebellion, the Sino-Japanese War, and the War of Aggression against China, were all based on Toyotomi Hideyoshi, inherited from Emperor Meiji, and developed in the Showa era, forming a consistent mode of thinking and behavioral inertia hidden behind the facts. The idea of cutting off the links between wars after World War II does not conform to the Japanese's own historical statements and practices.
In Toyotomi Hideyoshi's grand plan, in addition to Korea, Ming Dynasty and Naman, even distant India was included in his conquest. The first step of the specific plan is to "lead the army directly into Korea and sweep the territory of more than 400 States in the Ming Dynasty". After China laid, he planned to give China to his subordinates. Why are these countries mainly concentrated in East Asia? This is related to his "world outlook" at that time.
Originally, the Japanese in the Middle Ages believed that there were only three countries in the world, namely Japan, China and India. Although Japan established its own state power under the influence of other countries' political culture, it soon introduced the reverse thinking, that is, the "God-state view", trying to make people admit that Japan is also a self-disciplined world, which is unmatched by other worlds.
Although Toyotomi Hideyoshi was defeated by the Ming Dynasty, in the minds of many Japanese politicians and scholars, the fantasy of Toyotomi Hideyoshi-style expansion has never stopped being passed down from generation to generation. 1823, Saito's cell cabinet formulated a secret policy of chaos in the house, and proposed that "the world should know the county of the imperial kingdom." The monarchs of all ethnic groups are subjects of the emperor, and it all started with the annexation of China. ".
After the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan developed further and accumulated strength for conquering China. Ryukyu and Korean people have been enslaved by Japan for decades. The heavy shadow of the survival crisis immediately rushed to our country. But in fact, as an island country, Japan has all the advantages of a natural maritime country. Instead of learning from Britain, Japan is determined to build an ancient inland empire, rather than becoming a rich and powerful trading power that is respected by the whole world. Really stupid, doomed to failure.
