Some people attribute the cause of the failure of the First Sino Japanese Naval Battle to the system

There are many reasons for China's defeat in the Sino-Japanese War in modern times, but the main and real reasons are the following three reasons.

First, we should strive to ensure peace and seek peace. Empress Dowager Cixi and Li Hongzhang are both lords and factions, once there is a war in the Qing Dynasty and they surrender in defeat, they will ask the victorious country for peace. Li Hongzhang wanted to take advantage of the conflict of interests of various countries to prevent Japan from starting a war, and ordered his subordinates to wait and not move, and to protect the ships and ships, so that the morale of the soldiers was low and they had no intention of fighting.

Second, give up the loss of sea supremacy. In modern warfare, it is very important to have control over the sea. Possession of sea supremacy could cut off the enemy's supply lines, but the Qing army lost the battle in the Yellow Sea and lost the sea supremacy in the Yellow Sea, so the Japanese army could control the sea traffic of the other three islands, and the sea supply lines were stable, which was more conducive to Japanese aggression.

Japan fought at sea, and their supply lines were very long, and if the Qing army could well hold the sea supremacy, cut off and interfere with the enemy's sea transportation, and then find a good opportunity to attack, they would be able to defeat the enemy.

Third, the Qing Dynasty lacked foresight and preparation for the war. After the "Meiji Restoration" in Japan in the 60s of the 19th century, capital developed rapidly, and because the Japanese admired the spirit of samurai, militaristic freaks were produced, which were very predatory and expansive. In the first few years of the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan's average annual military expenditure accounted for more than 30 percent of its total revenue, and Japan also sent spies to China early on to carry out military activities, collect a large amount of military materials, and produce various military maps.

However, Li Hongzhang believed that Japan was far away and did not pose much threat to the Qing Dynasty, but instead relaxed its national defense construction, reduced military spending on the purchase of ammunition, reduced military financial expenditures, and stopped purchasing ammunition.

Therefore, the reason why China really failed in the First Sino-Japanese War was that the Qing Dynasty did not have enough preparations for war, and blindly sought peace and missed a good military opportunity.

The main reason is that the Qing Dynasty system was rotten, and the Qing Dynasty did not take this war seriously, nor did it strengthen the naval training and development of the Qing Dynasty. Second, Japan was well prepared at that time, and it was premeditated.

The main reason, I think, is that the Qing did not strengthen military training, the military strength was too weak, and the ** was too backward, while the Japanese were very strong in maritime military strength, so they failed.

The real reason for the defeat of the First Sino-Japanese Naval War should be the backwardness and decay of the Qing Dynasty, when China's economic and military strength was very weak and incapable of confronting foreign powers.

Because of the loss of sea dominance. In modern warfare, it is very important to have sea supremacy, which can cut off the enemy's supply lines, but the Qing army lost in the Battle of the Yellow Sea and lost the sea supremacy in the Yellow Sea, which was more conducive to Japanese aggression.

I think the main reason for the failure was the decay of the Qing Dynasty, followed by the fact that my country could not keep up with the pace of the times at that time, and the strength of the naval army was not strong.

The ostensible cause of the defeat was the feudal system. But in fact, there are many subjective factors, such as the obsolescence of internal ideas and the corruption of rulers.

The real root cause is indeed the feudal and rotten social branch system, and the corrupt rulers, who do not invest in military power, only care about their own enjoyment, will eventually fail.

The Qing Dynasty neglected the construction of the army and did not establish a modern land force. Although modernization was achieved at sea, even victory in the First Sino-Japanese Naval War could not reverse the defeat on land. The strategy of army building in the Qing Dynasty was seriously divorced from the reality of China.

I also think that it is because of the corruption of the Qing Dynasty that led to the defeat of the army, there is too much corruption in the army, and now, the military budget is greedy, how to fight.

The land battle was basically a rout, and the naval battle was destroyed because of the defeat of the land battle, the batteries were lost, and the fleet was destroyed. The specifics are not clear. Personal opinion.

Cixi joined forces with the Japanese navy to sink the Beiyang Fleet under the control of the Han Chinese!

Cixi took away the navy's military funds, and I don't know whether she secretly informed the Japanese Beiyang Fleet of the news;

The Mantars knew that they couldn't stay in China anymore and wanted to exit China safely; Before withdrawing from China, it is necessary to make every effort to exhaust the population, financial resources, and military strength of the Han people, and disrupt the political situation of the Han people; It is better to let the Han and the foreigners entangle; So that the Manchu Tartars can safely exit China;

The Manchu Tartars and Japan joined forces to destroy the Beiyang Fleet, which may be the basis for the relationship between the Manchu Tartars and Japan to jointly build the "puppet Manchukuo";

Zhang Junshe, a researcher at the Naval Military Academic Research Institute, believes that in addition to the fundamental cause of China's defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War, which was the political corruption and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty, there were five important reasons.

1. Lack of sense of distress. The fiasco of the First Sino-Japanese War once again proved that we are born in adversity and die in peace. Although the world is safe, forgetting the war will be dangerous. The corrupt Qing Dynasty lacked a deep understanding of the aggressive nature of Japan's expansion and its war ambition to destroy China. Japan is pouring all its strength into the expansion of armaments, and war is in danger of day.

At the critical juncture, the Qing Dynasty has relaxed its national defense construction. Only by carrying forward the spirit of being prepared for danger in times of peace and being ahead of adversity, and always being prepared to deal with war, can we overcome the dangers of war before they arise and ensure the longevity of peace.

2. Relying on the mediation of other countries. Li Hongzhang and Qing ** pinned their hopes on the lack of strong military means to back them up.

axioms", "morality", relaxed military efforts. The First Sino-Japanese War proved that only those who can fight can make peace, and peace cannot be begged. You can never trust your country's security to others. If you can't be self-reliant.

If we do not put the foothold of the anti-aggression war on our own strength, we will become the target of being slaughtered by others.

3. Blindly pursue passive war avoidance. During the First Sino-Japanese War, there was little difference in the balance of power between China and Japan.

In terms of military strength, China's army strength is more than that of Japan, and the tonnage of naval vessels is comparable. China is in a favorable defensive position. Before the war began, the "base camp" of Japan's invasion of China was not sure whether it could destroy the Beiyang Naval Division, seize sea supremacy, and then transport the army from the sea to land in Bohai Bay. However, the Qing Dynasty lacked the strategic thinking of actively resisting the war, did not formulate a strategic policy of active defense, passively avoided the war, and did not dare to take the initiative to attack and destroy the enemy. Jiawu.

War has proved that the essence of war is to destroy the enemy and preserve oneself. In strategic guidance, we must pay attention to taking the initiative to attack, and passive defense will inevitably lead to passive attack.

4. There is no joint force between the military, land and sea. During the entire Sino-Japanese Naval War, the Qing army did not organize a strict combat coordination. Already.

The joint operations of the navy, the army, and local authorities have not been realized, nor have they reflected the operational coordination between the navy and the fleet, the fleet and the base, and the fleet and the coastal forts. Navy Beiyang, Nanyang, Fujian, Guangzhou.

The command of the four eastern fleets was vested in the local governor, and although there was a naval yamen, it was unable to dispatch various fleets and could not carry out operations against the enemy in a unified manner. This backward military system is neither capable of forming a centralized and unified command center, nor has it been able to formulate a practical one.

A feasible joint naval and land combat plan has created a situation in which the Beiyang Naval Division is unable to support itself. The huge disparity between China and Japan in the level of military-civilian and sea-land joint operations is also an important reason for the defeat on the battlefield and the outcome of the war. ”

5. Lack of awareness of the sea and sea power. The Qing Dynasty seriously lagged behind in its military thinking, had outdated maritime concepts, and did not give full play to the strategic role of the navy, but only passively regarded the navy as an escort force for the transport fleet and a kind of auxiliary to the land defense, and did not take the initiative to open up a maritime battlefield and compete for sea supremacy, so that it could not grasp the initiative in war.

It led to the Japanese invasion of China, the War of Resistance for 8 years, the death of thousands of Chinese, and the economic backwardness of 10,000 years.

Decades of fiscal revenue went to Japan, and it was not ...... until the Xinhai Revolution

Also declared bankrupt the Westernization Movement! deepened the process of a two-and-a-half society.

The navy was completely annihilated, and it did not come for 100 years, and the war reparations greatly reduced China's national strength, ceding Taiwan and other places.

Alas....Changed the entire Chinese ......Chinese can't lift his head from now on, ......The whole clan has low self-esteem....(The impact is huge...)Everything in China changed from this war)

Let the Japanese do mischief in China for half a century.

The failure of the Westernization Movement and the signing of the Treaty of Shimonoseki exacerbated China's national crisis and accelerated the demise of the Qing Dynasty.

Push the Chinese nation into a bottomless abyss.

began to degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society.

Don't be defeated by the barbarians, maintain the excellent culture of the Han nation. As Napoleon said: a flock of sheep led by a lion can defeat a flock of lions led by a sheep.

The defeat of the First Sino-Japanese War was precisely because China was ruled by barbarians, and it began to fall backward and regress culturally, militarily, and politically after the Ming Dynasty. This is the deep-seated root cause.

Therefore, today, we Han people have finally regained their rule over the land of China, and we must work hard to become strong, not to be dominated by barbarians like in 1644!!

We must develop a strong military force at sea, and if we are backward, we will be beaten.

The basic situation is that the strength of the Beiyang Naval Division was originally above the Japanese, and after the First Sino-Japanese War, Japan defeated Tsarist Russia1Feudalism cannot defeat capitalism.

2.The rigidity of the system and the conformism are doomed.

3.The rise of emerging countries must be supported by strong military capabilities.

4.The Japanese devil's heart is not dead.
