What happened to the young Japanese man who assassinated Li Hongzhang before the signing of the Trea

was killed by the Japanese **, because this person went too far, and almost broke the Sino-Japanese relationship, so that the treaty could not be signed. Japan had to go back to war with China, which brought a heavy cost of war, so they killed him in retaliation.

The young man who assassinated Li Hongzhang at that time was quickly arrested by the police and finally sentenced to life imprisonment.

This Japanese young man was able to die a good death later, when the Japanese ** arrested him and sent him to prison, and released him more than ten years later.

The young Japanese man put Japan in a difficult situation, and Japan's reputation was not good, so he was put in prison for life, and then died.

At 4 p.m. on March 24, after the end of the third Sino-Japanese negotiation, Li Hongzhang, who was full of worries, stepped out of Chunfan Tower and returned to the post house in a sedan chair. Who knows, just when Li Hongzhang's sedan chair was about to arrive at the post house, a Japanese man suddenly jumped out of the crowd, and before he could react, it was determined that Li Hongzhang was a shot. Li Hongzhang was shot in the left cheek, his official uniform was stained with blood, and he fainted on the spot.

For a time, the scene was chaotic, pedestrians fled in all directions, and the assassin took advantage of the chaos to hide in the crowd and hide in a shop on the side of the road.

Seeing that the master was assassinated, Li Hongzhang's attachés hurriedly carried him back to the post house, and the accompanying doctors immediately gave first aid. Fortunately, the bullet did not hit the vital point, and soon after, Li Hongzhang woke up. After all, Li Hongzhang had seen strong winds and waves, and he was extremely calm in the face of this scene, and he did not forget to instruct the attaché to save the bloody clothes that he had changed and not to wash off the bloodstains.

Faced with bloodstains, 73-year-old Li Hongzhang couldn't help but sigh: This blood can serve the country.

Li Hongzhang's wound was an inch below his left eye. Fortunately, although the bullet remained in the body, it did not hurt the eye. Li Hongzhang's assassination in Japan immediately attracted the attention of the international community, and doctors from the German Legation in Japan rushed to see him.

When doctors from various countries consulted, Japanese doctors recommended surgery, but German and French doctors firmly opposed it. The reason is that since this bullet is harmless to the normal work of Li Hongzhang's eyes, it is better for Fan Chaoming to stay in his body for the time being. They were worried that if they rashly operated on it, it would endanger Li Hongzhang's life.

After the assassination incident, Ma Guan was caught very shortly. After interrogation, the man's name was Koyama Rokunosuke, 21 years old, and he was a member of the Japanese right-wing group Shinkenkan. He did not want a truce between China and Japan, let alone see China and Japan negotiate peace, and was bent on continuing the war, so he decided to use the assassination of Li Hongzhang to provoke further contradictions between China and Japan and carry the war to the end.

Rokunosuke Koyama's idea was very different from Japan's intentions at this time.

Japan's originally planned negotiation strategy was to use war to force the Qing Dynasty to sign an unequal treaty, and then accept it as soon as it was ready. At this time, Ito Hirobumi was most worried about what kind of handle would fall into the hands of the great powers, so that the Western countries that had been eyeing him would interfere and reap the benefits of the fisherman. Koyama Rokunosuke's behavior is tantamount to giving people a handle.

On the second day of Li Hongzhang's assassination, Qing ** called Li Hongzhang, in addition to condolences for his injuries, he also instructed that Li Hongzhang should take advantage of the time when he was straightening out, and Li Hongzhang should argue with him according to courtesy, or not to the end of his secret. At that time, if Li Hongzhang had returned to China and instigated the foreign powers to intervene, perhaps the content of the "Treaty of Shimonoseki" would not have been what it was later. However, Qing **, who was bullied by the great powers and Japan to the point of losing his temper, did not think at all that he could take advantage of the contradictions between the great powers, but was worried that if the negotiations were not concluded as soon as possible, the Japanese army in China would continue to create wars and endanger the safety of the Beijing division.
