Li Hongzhang, the minister of the Qing Dynasty, once warned his descendants that if he wants to be s

Li Hongzhang should be talking about Japan or the United States, because the two countries are more wolf-like and more terrifying, so China must become strong, and Li Hongzhang is also a respected old man.

That country is Japan. Because Japan has great ambitions and has invaded our country all the year round, they are not satisfied with the little benefits they have received from the Qing Dynasty, and they often launch aggressions, which makes people not worry at all, and it is also imminent to destroy Japan.

It's the UK. Because opium was brought by the British, it was very harmful and confused the will of the people, and it was necessary to destroy the country's opium.

Li Hongzhang has also sent envoys to many countries and received many foreign envoys, but the Qing Dynasty is so backward, and under the circumstances, Li Hongzhang is still vigorously promoting the official authority of the Qing Dynasty, which also makes foreigners laugh at the Qing Dynasty, is so backward, and even utters wild words, it can be seen that although Li Hongzhang has a far-sighted vision, he is not aware of the country's own problems.

Because many unequal treaties were signed in his name, and the unequal treaties were all in his name, although he had received them on his behalf.

The main reason is that his thinking is a bit feudal, so he will be scolded by later generations, and at that time, it happened to be when he was facing the crisis of this country, and he was still so traditional.

It should be talking about Japan, because Japan was very ambitious at that time, and always wanted to eat China's big fat meat, but now, this is impossible.

That is the weakest country, when their own energy is not very large, they are all very strong, and they must find the weakest one.

It is Japan, we know that Li Hongzhang died in 1901, why did he warn future generations before he died? After all, it was not only Japan that invaded the territory of China at that time, but also several other Western powers. In Li Hongzhang's view, although Japan is a small island country, but it is a country with strong ambitions, as early as 1895 in the Sino-Japanese War Li Hongzhang discovered, and later the Qing ** was defeated, forced to sign the "Shimonoseki Treaty", both to cede land and to compensate hundreds of millions of dollars to Japan, originally belonged to our Ryukyu was also occupied by Japan.

This country was Japan, because in several wars with Japan in those years, the Qing Dynasty had a high chance of defeat, and Japan was relatively close to China.

This country is the country of Japan, Japan has been eyeing the Qing Dynasty for decades, Li Hongzhang has seen the clues when he went to Japan, so he warned future generations to destroy this country.

This country is Japan, which invaded China and was forced to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki at that time, which greatly hindered China's development.

It was Japan, because at that time his wolf ambitions for our country had already been revealed, and after the treaty was signed, we had to pay him a lot of money, which helped their development.

Li Hongzhang's contribution to the late Qing Dynasty was still quite large, and even Cixi praised Li Hongzhang as "the person who recreated Xuanhuang", but Li Hongzhang's own contribution to the Chinese nation can be said to be minimal. To put it simply, what Li Zhongtang did in his life revolved around maintaining the rule of the Manchus, and his own contribution to the Manchus was remarkable, because he himself was also part of the Manchu rulers. Next, let's talk about Li Hongzhang's contribution to maintaining the rule of the Manchu Dynasty.

The suppression of the uprising Li Hongzhang started by suppressing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and before Li Hongzhang was admitted to the Jinshi, he had become a student of Zeng Guofan. When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebelled, Li Hongzhang had already returned to his home to organize a group training in the countryside, and later entered the staff work under Zeng Guofan. After leaving the command of Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang formally organized the Huai army to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and accumulated a lot of meritorious service through the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, became the governor of Huguang, and later promoted to the governor of Zhili.

After pacifying the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan, Zhang Zhidong and others launched the Westernization Movement, hoping to continue the rule of the Qing Dynasty by learning the advanced science and technology of the foreigners. Li Hongzhang played a relatively large role in the Westernization Movement, and in the early days of the Westernization Movement, he established military enterprises such as the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, the Jinling Machinery Bureau, and the Tianjin Machinery Bureau, and later established commercial enterprises such as the Steamship Merchants Bureau in Fujian.

Diplomatic Contribution Li Hongzhang's greatest contribution in diplomacy should be that he signed a series of unequal treaties with the great powers on behalf of the Qing Dynasty, which is not to satirize Li Hongzhang, because the signing of these treaties is not Li Hongzhang's responsibility alone, and the reason why these treaties appear is entirely because of the corruption and incompetence of the late Qing Dynasty, and it is not to blame one person. On the contrary, Li Hongzhang was able to take the initiative to clean up the mess for Qing **, which was indeed a great contribution to Qing **.

The demise of the late Qing Dynasty was the trend of the times, and Li Hongzhang had done everything he could. It has actively organized various sports on the economic front, and is also a pioneer in China in the diplomatic field.

Li Hongzhang stood out in the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, and later slowly rose to the governor, he was also one of the Westernists, established the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Jinling Machinery Bureau and Tianjin Machinery Bureau and other military enterprises, and later established commercial enterprises such as the Steamship Merchants Bureau in Fujian, of course, in the later period, he also cleaned up a lot of messes, including the signing of unequal treaties.

Li Hongzhang suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for the late Qing Dynasty, and if it were not for him, the Qing Dynasty might have been captured by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in addition to participating in the Westernization Movement and developing the industry of the late Qing Dynasty.

Li Hongzhang summed up his life in his later years, saying that he was a young Kedi, a young man, a middle-aged soldier, a middle-aged feudal territory, and a foreigner in his later years. Suppressed the Taiping uprising and was loyal to the imperial court. Establish the Beiyang Naval Division, carry out the Westernization movement, and develop light industry.

It founded the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, the Tianjin Machinery Bureau, the Beiyang Fleet Steamship Merchants Bureau, the Telegraph Bureau, and the Kaiping Mining Bureau, sent people to study abroad, set up new-style schools, cultivated a number of scientific and technological talents, and introduced some advanced production technologies from the West.

Li Hongzhang founded the Beiyang Naval Division and the Huai Army, and he also led the Westernization Movement, built many factories, advocated learning from the West, and also cultivated foreign students.

He quelled the rebellion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, participated in and led the Westernization Movement, established the first batch of mining, machinery manufacturing and military enterprises, sent selected talents to study abroad, and introduced the Western military system and school system, which promoted the process of China's modernization.

Li Hongzhang has many merits, and he did a lot for the late Qing Dynasty, such as his iron-blooded hand for opium.

There were the suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the establishment of the Westernization Movement, the active creation of China's coastal defense, and the planning of the Beiyang Naval Division.

Li Hongzhang mainly used the Westernization Movement to reform and save the decaying empire, but of course it failed in the end.

Li Hongzhang organized the Huai Army, vigorously purged the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, set up new-style schools, trained a number of scientific and technological talents, and introduced some advanced Western production technology.

He argued for the signing of unequal treaties, but the country was weak and had to accept humiliating demands.

Li Hongzhang founded the Westernization Movement, and he cultivated many outstanding talents for the late period, especially in military science and technology.

It's Japan, Li Hongzhang feels that although Japan is a small country, it is very ambitious and has to be guarded against.

At that time, before Li Hongzhang died, he told his descendants that if the country wanted to be strong, it would first destroy Japan.
