In the First Sino Japanese War, why was Ye Zhichao, who escaped from the battle, not executed?

Because the reason for the defeat at that time was not him at all, but because of Qing **.

I went to war in a hurry, and I wasn't ready at all. Even if he didn't run away and knocked to the end, it couldn't change the ending. The emperor was not a mediocre man, so he naturally pardoned him.

Of course, Ye Zhichao was executed, but did not live until later, when Ye Zhichao fled all the way to Pyongyang, and lied that he was a strategic transfer to deceive the imperial court, so he survived for a while, but then Ye Zhichao was dismissed and investigated by the imperial court, and was finally executed.

Because there was no hope of victory in the First Sino-Japanese War, if you didn't escape, you could only die in vain.

Zhao Huaiye was a native of Hefei, Anhui Province, during the Sino-Japanese War.

After the outbreak, Zhao Huaiye first fled without a fight when he was stationed in Dalian Bay Fort, and then guarded Lushun in the town.

Again fled without a fight. What's even more incredible is that when Zhao Huaiye was in the current position of the enemy, he was busy transporting a large amount of military food and clothing to Yantai for sale and exchanging them for real gold**. At the same time, he personally came to the wharf and sent his family and property to Yantai by boat.

After the war, Zhao Huaiye was dismissed from his post and handed over to the Criminal Department. In Li Hongzhang.

Under the asylum, he was not sentenced to death, but all family property was confiscated.

The Qing army Jianwei General Zuo Guigui.

See through Ye Zhichao.

mind, let people monitor Ye Zhichao and prevent him from escaping. However, later, Zuo Guigui was unfortunately killed in a fierce battle with the Japanese army, and Ye Zhichao was determined to escape.

Ye Zhichao played a little clever. He pretended to surrender to Japan.

Take the opportunity to flee Pyongyang.

40 large and small cannons, more than 10,000 guns, and a lot of food and salary were thrown to the Japanese army in vain. The Japanese are not fools, they pretend to promise surrender and in fact volley halfway. So, when Ye Zhichao escaped from Pyongyang, he was attacked by the Japanese army again, and he was very heavy.

The Qing army abandoned the city and fled, causing the indignation of the Korean defenders. When the Qing army left the city, they carried out ** from behind, killing and wounding many Qing troops.

Later, the number of people was counted, and the Qing army fled with more than 2,000 people, which was much higher than the number of deaths when defending the city.

If it is really as said in "The Biography of Ye Zhichao", then Ye Zhichao chose to preserve, but it is still in the past. However, there are other documents that it is not the first time that Ye Zhichao has escaped on the battlefield after running for more than 500 miles.

Soon after they arrived in Korea, the Japanese army sent troops to attack. In the face of the fierce Japanese army, the Qing army was extremely hesitant. When Ye Zhichao was at a loss, Nie Shicheng.

Proposal: The sea road has been blocked, the reinforcements are difficult to fly, Asan Jedi cannot be defended, Gongju is backed by mountains and faces the river, born to win, it is advisable to gallop to it, and win the battle, you can wait for help, if you don't win, you still have to take a detour. Ye Zhichao agreed to this suggestion, so Nie Shicheng led his troops to ambush the Japanese army.

In this ambush, more than 1,000 Japanese soldiers were killed and wounded, and after fierce fighting, due to the exhaustion of ammunition and the disparity in numbers, they were defeated and retreated to Gongju. But after arriving in Gongzhou, Ye Zhichao, who had originally agreed to defend Gongzhou, had already fled early, and Nie Shicheng, who was fighting alone, could not resist the Japanese army, so he could only choose to follow Ye Zhichao's escape route and retreat all the way.

Ye Zhichao, a native of Hefei, Anhui Province, was ordered to lead his troops into Korea in 1894. After the outbreak of the Sino-Japanese War, the Chinese and Japanese armies fought a decisive battle in Pyongyang. Although the strength of the two sides was equal, Ye Zhichao was greedy for life and afraid of death, pretended to surrender to Japan, escaped from Pyongyang overnight, and ran all the way 500 miles, from Pyongyang to the Yalu River.

Ye Zhichao's escape triggered a direct rout on the Korean battlefield, causing the Japanese army to easily occupy Korea, which had an extremely bad impact. However, after Ye Zhichao returned to China, under the protection of Li Hongzhang, he was not severely punished, and was released after only two years of imprisonment, and died in 1901 at the age of 64.

He was finally executed by the Qing **, after all, he was a defeated general and fled.

The final outcome was very miserable, because although he escaped in the Sino-Japanese War and saved his life, he was held criminally responsible.

Ye Zhichao's courage and good fighting did not come from his original intention, but the situation at that time forced him to do so, and he had his own considerations when the First Sino-Japanese War began.

Because he began to enjoy life after gaining fame, his previous integrity has been worn out.

Because the opponents they faced were different, the Japanese were more sophisticated and modern, and Ye Zhichao was afraid of death when he was old, so he ran back to China.

The key is to command the rear, and the emperor blindly let him attack regardless of the situation. Lao Li asked him to preserve his strength again! Originally, he was going to retreat into the mountains in advance, but he was not allowed, and he wanted to retreat slowly, and he collapsed for thousands of miles!

In the final analysis, the First Sino-Japanese War was a war between the traditional Qing army and the modern Japanese army, and the Qing army at that time was already decaying, and Ye Zhichao was only brave and good at fighting in name, and it was actually impossible to compare with the Japanese army after the Meiji Restoration, and it was normal to be defeated and flee.

Thirty-six strategies, go for the upper plan, fight if you win, run if you can't win, correct.

Because although Ye Zhixi Duan Chao is very capable, the combat effectiveness of the Qing army and the Japanese fighting army is really very different, and it must be that the land grinding cannot be done against Japan, so he can only abandon the city and flee.

Because he was afraid, afraid that he would die in battle, so he fled, and this kind of person is a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death.
