Because the Qing ** had already declined at that time, the strength of the army was not strong, the imperial court at that time was corrupt, and there were many examples of Chinese expeditions to Japan in history, but in the end they had little effect. Before the war with Japan, if you are not completely sure, then the imperial court will not send troops. In fact, Japan had already invaded China at that time and also occupied the Ryukyus, but Cixi and Guangxu at that time did not care, thinking that it was just a small place, and it was nothing if it was occupied, and in the end things became more and more uncontrollable.

Liu Changyou has lived a wealthy life since he was a child, and his family is very wealthy. Although his father is a rich man, he is still very kind, while Liu Changyou is not smooth on the road to the imperial examination. Although he is a native of Hunan and is not very well-known locally, his vision and ability are not lost to Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guofan and others.

Later, Liu Changyou finally won the lift, but his life remained unchanged, and it was not until the outbreak of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement that Liu Changyou showed his ability. Although Liu Changyou is a civil official, his ability has not lost to the generals at all, and he has also made a lot of contributions. And after he occupied the Ryukyus in Japan, because of his foresight and ability, Liu Changyou saw Japan's ambitions.

It's just that when Liu Changyou proposed to attack Japan, his political views were not approved by the emperor and Cixi. And because of the long-term harassment by Japan, there has never been a good solution, in fact, this is also the corruption and cowardice of the Qing Dynasty. At that time, Cixi was concerned about how to hold her birthday banquet, so she naturally had no time to take into account the political opinions put forward by Liu Changyou.

Even if the Qing ** at that time attacked Japan with Liu Changyou's suggestion, the Qing ** at this time would not be Japan's opponent. After all, after Japan experienced the second industrial revolution, its military strength was greatly improved, and the Qing Dynasty at that time adopted a policy of closing the country to the outside world, so it perfectly missed the industrial revolution and even the opportunity to learn.

Because the Qing ** at that time was greedy for pleasure and afraid of war, the famous general Liu Changyou proposed to take the initiative to attack Japan, but he was not arrested.

Because you can't beat it. At that time, the Qing Dynasty navy was much worse than the Japanese navy, and the Qing ** knew this and did not agree with Liu Changyou's strategy of taking the initiative to attack Japan.

Because the Manchus considered that they were not Japan's opponents, even if the risk of a surprise attack was great, there was no opinion on him.

There are two major reasons, the first reason is because the combat effectiveness of the army cultivated by the Qing Dynasty at that time is worrying, the number of Chinese expeditions to Japan in history is innumerable, but there is no great effect, and the war at will may not be completely certain, the best way is to not use troops first, the second reason is that Japan has invaded China at that time and occupied the Ryukyus, and Cixi Guangxu did not care,thought that it was a small place, and it was enough to occupy it, and he didn't care about the future worries, and finally made a wrong step, a wrong step, which led to the incident being out of control.

Liu Changyou is from Hunan, and Hunan people have produced a lot of talents, at that time, although Liu Changyou was not so famous, but his ability and vision were not inferior to Zuo Zongtang, Zeng Guofan and others. He grew up in a family with a good family education environment, and his father was also very rich, not only rich, but also kind, although he did not worry about the environment of studying since he was a child, but the road to his middle school was very difficult.

Later, he finally won the lift, but his life did not improve, and it was not until the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement that he exerted his strength. Although he was a civil general, in the battlefield, he overshadowed the brilliance of a military general, so that he later made countless meritorious contributions. After Japan occupied the Ryukyus, he had long since seen that this was the first step for Japan to invade China, and specially wrote a book exposing Japan's wolf ambitions, and what he is doing now is to look down on our country, we cannot be so weak and incompetent, we must resist.

He came up with a detailed plan for confronting Japan. It is a pity that our country has been harassed by Japan for many years, and it has not been well resolved. Coupled with the corruption at that time, our military strength was also relatively fragile.

In addition, Cixi was even more noisy about holding a birthday banquet, and she had no intention of engaging in these things, so what Liu Changyou proposed later was gone.

Before the First Sino-Japanese Naval War, Liu Changyou, a famous general of the Hunan Army, proposed to attack Japan, why didn't the Qing ** adopt it, the Qing ** at that time was already corrupt. The system is far behind, and I personally think that even if you listen to it, it will have no effect.

Because after the Japanese invasion and occupation of the Ryukyus, the Qing Dynasty reacted coldly to this. Many rulers, including the Empress Dowager Cixi, believed that Ryukyu was too far away to be of much value, and that sending troops would do more harm than good. Therefore, his opinion is not adopted.

Because the Qing Dynasty was rotten, the political system was backward, and it was far behind the emerging Japan that had just passed the Meiji Restoration, in 1840, after the Opium War, we began to degenerate into a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, we had no economic foundation, and the invasion of the great powers caused serious damage to the natural economy, and we had no ability to fight against it, so the Qing Dynasty did not adopt it.

This requires historians to study history and understand historical archives to have the right to speak, not to imagine out of thin air, although a hundred years have passed, some archives may not be able to see, and more young people are needed to ** the truth of history.

Qing ** did not have that strength, attacking Japan needed to cross the sea, needed naval forces and warships, and Qing ** did not have it at that time.

It's still the same old saying, Qing ** is corrupt and incompetent, and he is ignorant and ignorant, and he just wants to close himself off from the country.

Because of the internal and external troubles of the Qing Dynasty at that time, there was no time to take care of it.

At that time, the Qing Dynasty was corrupt and believed that Japan's small country was not enough to cause trouble.

Mainly during this period, the national strength of the Qing Dynasty did not allow the Qing Dynasty to launch a war to attack Japan at this timeAlthough it can be said that the proposal to attack Japan at this time can be said to be a very wise military proposal, butAt this time, Zuo Zongtang had just recovered Xinjiang, but the pressure on Tsarist Russia faced by the Qing Dynasty could still be said to be still very greatIf it is said that at this time, the whole country will attack Japan, then the defense in the north of the Qing Dynasty will inevitably weaken, and it is difficult to guarantee that Tsarist Russia will not attack the Qing Dynasty from the north of the Qing Dynasty again.

As a result, the Qing Dynasty would face the enemy on its back, go to war with Japan on its east flank, and attack Tsarist Russia on its north flankIt can be said that the Qing Dynasty at this time was going to bear the disaster, which can be said to be greater. On the other hand, from the economic aspect, at this time, the treasury revenue of the Qing Dynasty could not make ends meet under the situation of the long-term war with the border, and it was already in a stage of negative growth.

At this time, it is obviously unrealistic for you to let him spend a lot of manpower and material resources to fight another war. So at this time you want the rulers to accept his request. It is that individuals will choose to refuse after weighing it, not because they don't understand this truth, but because the consequences they have to face or bear are really too serious.

However, some people believe that opportunities and dangers always coexist, and if the Qing Dynasty had seized this opportunity and chose to attack Japan, it would still have a certain possibility to defeat Japan and would not face the obstruction of Tsarist Russia. This may even affect the course of later history, but it is the whole country that should be taken care of, not an impulse.

Because the Qing Dynasty during the First Sino-Japanese War did not want to fight at all. At that time, the Qing ** was poor and weak, and felt that more things were better than less.

At that time, Qing ** had already decayed, and he didn't have the energy to care about it anymore.

Because Qing ** only does greedy pleasure. And there is no ability, only the immediate benefits. And cognitively it doesn't matter.

At that time, he didn't dare to propose to attack any country, and blindly coveted comfort and pleasure. What's more, Qing ** doesn't have that strength.

After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty was defeated, and the Qing Dynasty was forced to sign the "Treaty of Shimonoseki", which humiliated the country. The victory of the Japanese Navy in the First Sino-Japanese War was a heavy blow to China's Westernization movement, and since then, the Qing Dynasty has completely become a fish in the eyes of the great powers, and the great powers have set off a wave of carving up China.
