What is the result of the Beiyang Navy???

In the First Sino-Japanese War, the whole army was annihilated.

That's the way it is.

The results of the Beiyang Navy were very good and strong.

Perdition is stupid and naïve.

Hey, no matter how strong something is given to the Qing Dynasty, it is useless.

Battle of Weihaiwei.

In January 1895, 20,000 Japanese troops landed in Rongcheng Bay, Shandong, copied Weihaiwei Fort, and blockaded the east and west ports with **. Because Li Hongzhang avoided the war and sought peace, the land defense was not strengthened, and Weihaiwei was finally lost. After the Beiyang Navy trapped Liugong Island, the vast number of soldiers still actively resisted.

Some life-threatening generals coerced Admiral Ding Ruchang to surrender, but Ding Ruchang committed suicide on February 11. The Beiyang Navy was completely destroyed.

An important battle in the Sino-Japanese War. Weihaiwei is located at the top of the Shandong Peninsula, the harbor is semicircular, there are Liugong Island, Ridao horizontal bay, the situation is dangerous. There are more than 10 forts on the north and south banks of the harbor and Liugong Island and Ri Island, equipped with more than 100 new cannons, with staggered firepower and strong defense, and it has become the location of the Beiyang Naval Base and the Admiral's Yamen.

After the Battle of the Yellow Sea, the Beiyang Navy rested in Lushun for a while, and all of them gathered here. On January 20, 1895 (the 21st year of Guangxu), 20,000 Japanese troops with Dashanyan as the commander, under the cover of 25 ** and 16 torpedo boats of the Combined Fleet, attacked Rongcheng, which was more than 10 miles southeast of Weihaiwei. The Qing army failed to block the attack, and the Weihaiwei defense fortress was lost.

On the 30th, the Japanese attacked the Nanbang Battery, and the Combined Fleet also blocked the port from the sea and shelled Weihaiwei head-on. On the afternoon of the 30th, the Nanbang Fort was lost, and the commander Liu Chaopei fled to the north bank. On February 1, the Beibang battery was also lost, and the Beiyang Fleet was caught in the flanking attack of the Japanese army and navy.

On 3 February, the Japanese ships and the Japanese troops occupying the Nanbang Fort attacked the Beiyang Navy by land and water, and the "Dingyuan" ran aground after being hit by a mine, and soon self-destructed, sinking the "Laiyuan", "Weiyuan", and "Baofang" one after another, and the 12 torpedo boats that escaped without authorization were all captured. The Japanese flagship "Matsushima" was heavily damaged, and 5 torpedo boats were sunk. At that time, foreign advisers in the Beiyang Navy, such as the British Ma Gelu and the American Haowei, colluded with some Qing generals who were greedy for their lives and feared death, and openly threatened the naval admiral Ding Ruchang to surrender.

After receiving a secret report that there was no hope for reinforcements by land, Ding Ruchang ordered all ships to sink at the same time to avoid financing the enemy, which was resisted, and then ordered the remaining ships to desperately break through the siege, but no one carried it out. On the 12th, Ding Ruchang and Zhang Wenxuan, a registered soldier, committed suicide one after another, and Liu Buyun, the leader of the "Dingyuan" pipe, committed suicide with a pistol after ordering someone to blow up and sink "Dingyuan". On the 17th, the Japanese fleet sailed into Weihaiwei Harbor, and the remnants of the Beiyang Navy, including four ships and six gunboats, including "Zhenyuan" and "Jiyuan," and all military supplies, were plundered, and the Beiyang Navy was completely destroyed.

The Beiyang Navy was completely annihilated in the Sino-Japanese War. The Sino-Japanese War was a war of Japanese aggression against China and Korea at the end of the 19th century, and according to the Chinese Ganzhi period, the year 1894 when the war broke out was the First Sino-Japanese War, so it was called the First Sino-Japanese War. The war ended with the defeat of China and the annihilation of the Beiyang Naval Division.

Under the military pressure of Japanese militarism, the Qing Dynasty of China signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, an unequal treaty that humiliated the country. In the various stages of the Sino-Japanese War, the Battle of Weihaiwei was a defensive battle to defend the Beiyang Naval Base and the last battle of the Beiyang Fleet. During this stage of the operation, some ships of the Beiyang Naval Division were sunk, the Japanese army landed on Liugong Island, the base of the Beiyang Naval Division, the Weihaiwei Naval Base fell, the Beiyang Navy was completely annihilated, and some ships, baggage, and military supplies were absorbed by Japan.

Without the determination of the ruling class, without a real sense of sea power, without an independent industrial base, it is useless to buy as much advanced equipment as possible.

With regard to the dispute between coastal defense and blockade defense, in view of the fact that many foreign powers invaded from the sea, they built a navy to defend the country.

In the end, the First Sino-Japanese Naval Battle, the whole army was annihilated.

The reasons for the corruption of the Qing constitution, the lack of food and salary of the Beiyang army, the backwardness of armaments, and the failure of command.

China sees its own backwardness, foreign ships and guns open the ancient gate of China, let the Chinese know that if they do not learn foreigners, they are doomed to backwardness and be beaten, and building a navy is the most urgent task at this stage.

The navy is a product of modern industrialization, and China did not have a navy in the first place. Britain launched the Opium War, relying on the strength of ships and guns, and opened the door of China, which had been closed to the rest of the country for a long time. It was only for the first time that the Chinese knew what the navy was, and the advanced Chinese at that time began to germinate the idea of building a navy.

An important reason for the weakness and incompetence of the Beiyang Fleet's external strength and middle cadres and the training of the defense army was that the Qing court did not regard them as national defense forces strategically, and the more selfish reason was the fear of the Manchu aristocracy after the Han bureaucracy took control of the army. In other words, the Qing court did not want these armies to be too powerful, as this would threaten Manchu rule, and this was the main reason why Li Hongzhang's repeated requests for funds for the purchase of new ordnance and additional purchases** were rejected.

1.Conservative: Such a large fleet is left in the military port every day and does not dare to go out. I don't train much. Good equipment. The quality is not up to standard. There are also problems with training.

2.Weakness: At that time, the navy was the first in Asia.

It's just that ** has no determination to fight. So the Navy at that time was completely passive in command. Fighting back in a passive situation will of course fail.

Japan's navy came prepared. Everything is planned. The tactics are also in place.

Doomed.

Annihilated!

In 1894, the Sino-Japanese War broke out. In September, the Chinese and Japanese navies engaged in a very tragic encounter in the northern Yellow Sea, known as the Battle of the Yellow Sea. The Beiyang Navy had just been suddenly attacked by the Japanese on the way back from Dadonggou in the northeast, and the two sides went to war.

In the end, the Japanese Navy withdrew from the battle first because it was not familiar with the shape of the sea because it was fighting in the open ocean. However, after that, Li Hongzhang was afraid of being counterattacked by the Japanese army, so he proposed the so-called "protecting the ship to control the enemy" and "avoiding the enemy and protecting the ship", hid the entire naval division in the safe harbor of Weihaiwei, and gave the sea control of the Yellow Sea and the Bohai Sea to the Japanese army in vain. The following year, the Japanese army launched the Battle of Weihaiwei, and the Beiyang Naval Division, which was surrounded on land and water, was finally caught off guard and annihilated on the Shandong Peninsula.

Later, the Beiyang Naval Division retreated to Weihaiwei to protect itself, and Dingyuan was hit by a Japanese torpedo boat that broke into the harbor and was forced to run aground. Finally, it was hit by a Japanese battery, which was occupied by the Japanese on land, and sank by itself. Zhenyuan, on the other hand, was damaged by a collision and finally surrendered to the Japanese Navy.

In the Sino-Japanese naval battle of the First Sino-Japanese War, the whole army was annihilated!!

In the early days of the establishment of the Beiyang Naval Division, there was a shortage of reserve talents, so Li Hongzhang borrowed materials from Fujian, and most of the senior naval generals came from the Ship Master School, mainly from Fujian. However, Li Hongzhang did not want to be like this for a long time, and in 1879, Li Hongzhang officially played and retained Ding Ruchang in Beiyang Coastal Defense as a military and ship supervisor, and later served as a commander. By the time of the First Sino-Japanese Naval War in 1894, the graduates of the Tianjin School had begun to serve as second officers and boatswain.

However, during this period, internal contradictions arose in the Beiyang Naval Division. The official position is second only to Ding Ruchang, Liu Buyun, who studied in the United Kingdom and graduated from the Shipmaster School, has a domineering personality and is dissatisfied with being subordinate to Ding Ruchang. Liu Buyun took advantage of his hometown, united with Fujian officers, fought with Ding Ruchang, formed a Fujian party among the sailors, and once forced away the sailors to teach the British Lang Weili.

And Ding Ruchang has also been trying to change the status quo, for example, the "Guangjia" of the Guangdong Naval Division stayed in the Beiyang Naval Division, and Ding Ruchang appointed Wu Jingrong, the general of the Huai Army, as the pipe band, just to get rid of the control of the Fujian Party.

The relationship between the Beiyang Navy Division and the Beiyang Army is not very harmonious. The defenders stationed in Weihaiwei and various forts were basically from the Shandong Gong Army and the Sui Army, although in the battle, they showed a morale much higher than that of the Northeast Eight Banner Army and the Lian Army, but they did not cooperate with the navy, and were eventually pulled out one by one by the Japanese army like nails.

During the First Sino-Japanese War, the Sui Army and the Gong Army were led by Dai Zongqian, a general of the Huai Army, who first insisted on forming a mobile team to surprise tens of thousands of landed Japanese troops despite Ding Ruchang's opposition, but the result was like a moth to a fire, to no avail. Secondly, regarding the location of the fort and the arrangement of the number of defenders, Dai Zongqian and Ding Ruchang also had different opinions, and Liu Hanfang commented on the relationship between the two: "They have opinions on each other, and they don't meet each other in case of trouble."

Finally, about the Longmiaozui Fort, the Japanese army continued to storm and the fort was in danger, Ding Ruchang asked to blow up the fort to avoid the Japanese army from occupying the fort and attacking the Beiyang Naval Division in the harbor, but Dai Zongqian insisted on opposing it. As a result, under the onslaught of the Japanese army, all the Shandong Gong troops guarding the fort were killed, and the Japanese army occupied the fort, and then bombarded the ** of the Beiyang Naval Division with artillery.

As the last bastions of the army, the Southern Gang Battery and the Northern Gang Battery, were occupied by the Japanese army, all the Sui troops guarding the fort were killed. Dai Zongqian has become a general without soldiers, Dai Zongqian lamented:

Guarding the platform, my duty is also. Defeated and lost, will you go? I can only die to serve the court!

This time, Ding Ruchang did not argue with him, and arranged for a few sailors to take him away and withdraw to Liugong Island together. That night, Dai Zongqian committed suicide. At this point, the army that fought with the Beiyang Naval Division was completely annihilated.
