"What's wrong?" Princess Katrina Kaif asked in surprise. She had read the telegram just now and found no problem. "Isn't it just Hirobuki Ito who met the German Emperor? This does not mean that Germany will support the Japanese? After all, Germany and Britain and France are incompatible. Will they watch the British's power in Asia continue to expand?"

"I judged it from the last sentence of the telegram. The Emperor's servants personally sent Hirofun Ito and Shigeru Moriyama out of the palace. This shows that Hirofun Ito used the old method this time. Not only did he give money to the Emperor, but he also gave money to the Emperor's servants. Moreover, depending on the situation, the effect was very good." The Meng CEO explained.

Princess Katrina Kaif was a little incomprehensible, "This big thing can be done by giving money? Then we are not poorer than the Japanese, can we also give money?"

"Whether we give money or not, this is not the most important thing. The problem is, I judged that the German Emperor collected the Japanese money. What does this mean? It shows that the Germans were originally inclined to Japan from the bottom of their hearts. After all, we are the largest country in Asia and a great power. We don't want China to become stronger." Emperor Hua continued to explain.

After the cute CEO said this, Princess Katrina Kaif immediately understood everything and said worriedly: "It was the reason that Your Majesty said, it's very troublesome now."

The cute president clapped his hands, "Don't be too discouraged, Ito Hirofun is a very powerful person! Let's continue to work hard."

Ito Hirofumi's legacy was the military headquarters that the government could not control later. Why did Yama Prefecture set up a military headquarters?

The world's powerful countries are set up like this. Who has no army department and the Navy department? Who has no general staff?

The era when a general is determined to fight is over. Although Li Hongzhang has been using military force for many years, he does not know this truth.

The principle of separation of military, political and military orders is not reflected by the Beiyang Fleet and the Huai Army. With such a big gap, what is the reason to say that Li Hongzhang can do better than Ito?

Li Hongzhang is also the same. His knowledge is too backward. In other words, China at the same time is too backward.

Emperor Hua believes that even if it is said that Hirobuki Ito is an Optimus Prime of Japan, it is not an exaggeration to communicate with the emperor, the middle can restrain the military, and the lower can unite the people.

He was able to fully exert Japan's national strength with his own strength. Moreover, although he had been in power for a long time, he had never been arrogant or impatient. During his reign, he kept Japan's international and domestic strategic direction always correct. He was amazing and so far, he was the first person since the Warring States Period!

However, history is often rewritten by small people. If it weren't for a Japanese lieutenant who insulted the Queen of Korea and angered the guard An Jong-gen assassinating Hirofun Ito, allowing him to live for another 10 years, although the general result of World War II may not have changed, for China, the price of victory in the War of Resistance Against Japan might not have been reduced to 50 million people.

In the original history, Ito once teased Li Hongzhang: I thought about how powerful the Lord Zhongtang was, and if he didn't succeed, he would fight (referring to the fact that it was a matter of Li Hongzhang's unjust rejection in 1884 because Japan wanted to invade North Korea to negotiate with Li Hongzhang). Now it is really beaten, what is the result? I once gave an advice to the Adult, hoping that your country would quickly reform its internal affairs, otherwise our country would definitely come from behind. Now, ten years have passed, and my words have come true?

Li Hongzhang sighed and said: I am not willing to reform the internal affairs, but our country is too big, and the monarch and ministers are uneven, and they are not united like your country. What will happen if we two change our places?

Ito thought for a moment and said: If you were me, you would definitely do better than me in Japan; if I were you, you might not do better than you in China.

From the dialogue, it can be seen that Hiromori Ito is not only capable but also has a broad mind. If it weren't for this, Emperor Hua would not value Hiromori Ito so much. Hiromori Ito is indeed a person worthy of being a match for Emperor Hua. If the opponent is too weak, life will be boring.

In April 1875, the Meiji government issued an edict promising to establish a constitutional government and a cabinet, and Hirofumi Ito was appointed as the Foreign Minister.

The emperor ordered him to draft a constitution. Hirofumi Ito believed that the German system was most suitable for Japan, so he formulated the Japanese Constitution using prussian     consitization as a model (it was not completely transplanted). It was from then on that time that Japan began to accept ideas such as "democracy" and "freedom". In 1889, the Meiji Constitution was promulgated, which was the first constitution in Japanese history and Asian history.

Even though the outside world's evaluation of it is "ostensible    constitutionalism" (the superficial constitutional system), since then, Japan has become the first constitutional country and a country ruled by law. (Not to say that the judiciary is because Japan's judicial independence at this time is still not guaranteed) According to the Meiji Constitution, Hirofumi Ito's influence on Japan and even Asia is a certain extent. It is undeniable that he is an excellent politician.

Emperor Hua admires Hiromoto Ito, mainly because Hiromoto Ito controls North Korea. Hiromoto Ito actually opposes the annexation of North Korea. If Hiromoto Ito can live for 20 years, Japan is likely not to want to invade the entire China by force. In that case, the war will actually harm China more than it will.

Hirobu Ito opposed the annexation of North Korea at that time, which was something that only a great man could do.

First of all, in the early 20th century, the official name of the unified regime on the Korean Peninsula was the Korean Empire.

Before and after the end of the Russo-Japanese War in 1905, the three treaties, namely the "Guangdong-Tavor Agreement" (Japan-US), the "Second Japan-British Alliance" (Japan-British Treaty), and the "Treaty of Portsmouth (Japan-Russia), clearly stipulate that Japan can freely acquire the Korean Peninsula and whether it annexes or colonizes, there are actually no obstacles.

The reason why Ito Hiromoto opposed annexation and changed to the establishment of the position of North Korea's chief magistrate actually contained Hiromoto Ito's own ideal. Hiromoto Ito was an Asianist. Simply put, he hoped that Japan would lead the backwardness with the advanced, help China and South Korea develop, and then unite strongly to resist the great powers of Europe and the United States. During the Westernization Movement, Hiromoto Ito was very concerned about China's reform; in 1898, Hiromoto Ito came to China to make many suggestions to Kang Liang, but he also had direct contact with Cixi, and eventually the Wuxu coup occurred.

The same is true for him, who hopes to replicate the Meiji Restoration in South Korea.

In March 1906, Hirofumi Ito officially took office as the first Korean chief. He used Japanese loans to build schools in various places to encourage the development of industry and commerce, and imitate Japan to establish a political system. In the initial vision, all Korean cabinets would be held by Koreans, so that they could follow Japan's footsteps and gradually embark on the road of modernization.

In order to better integrate South Korea into Japan, Hiromori Ito even communicated with the Korean royal family: he brought the 10-year-old Korean crown prince Lee Eun to study in Japan and raised him personally, hoping that he could become a bridge for Japan-South Korea exchanges in the future.

But the problem is that in order to let South Korea listen to Japan, Japan had to deprive South Korea of ​​sovereignty on a large scale: in 1907, South Korean representatives went to the International Peace Conference of The Hague, but were expelled by the Russians. Using this as an excuse, on July 20, 1907, Hiromori Ito forced South Korean Emperor Gaozong to abdicate and establish a new emperor; on July 24, the Third Japan-South Korea Agreement was concluded, and South Korea's internal affairs completely fell into the hands of the Japanese; in August, Hiromori Ito ordered the dissolution of the South Korean army. On the one hand, it deprived South Korea of ​​diplomatic rights, which was to develop into a colony; on the other hand, it encouraged South Korea to develop, which was to develop into an independent country. How could it be successful when two forces acted simultaneously? Generally speaking, after about three years, a large number of opposition forces appeared in South Korea, and Hiromori Ito's reform was very slow.

In June 1909, Hiromoto Ito resigned from the position of North Korea's chief magistrate. In July, the Japanese cabinet reached an agreement to promote the merger of Japan and South Korea. In October 1909, Hiromoto Ito was assassinated, and in August 1910, Japan took the opportunity to announce the annexation of South Korea.

Hirofumi Ito’s greatest ideal is actually diplomacy. Before the Russo-Japanese War, he repeatedly negotiated with the Russian side, hoping to avoid the war as much as possible. After the war started, he immediately sent the special envoy Kentaro Kaneko to the United States to seek the right time to discuss peace. In addition, he founded the old Japanese constitution. Hirofumi Ito himself possessed the ideal temperament of scholars, which was different from Akito Yama Prefecture, which led to his unsuccessful reforms in South Korea in the past three years.

Hirobu Ito has a very famous photo. He and his wife were wearing Korean national costumes and took photos with Koreans. If there was no considerable Asianism, he would definitely think that the Japanese nation was more noble, so how could they wear Korean clothes?
