A private spy agency of an enemy country boasted that it was the liberator of China: "Our comrades' aim is to transform China first for all mankind", and "the Qing government in China is corrupt, hostile to us and ignorant of the justice of coordinated defense. Therefore, my comrades should assist the revolutionary movement of the Han nationality to make it successful, and transform China within 10 at the latest to realize the support between China and Japan. " The resolution of Hanshan Hall in Hankou is quite strange to people today. But at that time, the so-called "Asianism" was the mainstream of Japan. Both the ruling and the opposition believe that the attack on China is not only for Japan itself, but to save the whole of Asia from European bullying, so that the yellow race will not perish in the racial competition with the white race.

In fact, the Japanese never thought that the Qing Dynasty represented China, but regarded it as a "Land Rover" occupying China, calling itself China.

1872, Japan established Ryukyu as a dependent country, which China did not recognize. 1879, with the help of two squadrons in Kumamoto town, the Japanese side took over Ryukyu Village and forcibly abandoned the vassal state.

187 1 year, after the Ryukyu incident, China and Japan negotiated the Sino-Japanese Reconciliation Rules. The Japanese delegation resolutely disagreed with the Qing government calling itself "China" in the treaty, and the negotiations even came to a standstill. The Japanese side thinks that "China is for its own frontier dress" and only demands "Qing Dynasty". Such a request was strongly rejected by the representative of China: "China, as China said, has a long history since ancient times, that is, it concluded a treaty with other countries. At the beginning, it only wrote the word' Great Qing Dynasty', and all the terms were called China, and there was no example of changing the country name." The two sides are deadlocked. Later, Li Hongzhang personally came forward and agreed with the Japanese imperial envoy and plenipotentiary Ida Zongcheng: "In Chinese, the book is China and Japan, and in Chinese, the book is Great Japan and Great Qing Dynasty." On the surface, this is a compromise between the two sides. In fact, China has made concessions from the Convention.

In Japanese literature before and after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, it was almost normal for the Japanese to call themselves "China" and "China", which became the keynote of their image-building of East Asian countries during the war. Kotaro Zongfang, the spy of Leshan Hall, drafted a daughter's bulletin "Advice to Heroes in Eighteen Provinces" for the Japanese First Army led by Yamagata Aritomo. The theme is almost to liberate the people of China from the dark Manchu rule:

Sages have said,' If you command with virtue, you will be rewarded for your meritorious service.' He also said:' You get what you listen to, and if you are not good, the sage will say that you have lost it.' A Yuan Dynasty (former) barbarian outside the Great Wall of the Qing Dynasty, in China, neither commanded by virtue nor worked in vain, took advantage of Zhu Ming's decline, violently plundered, faked for a while, and skillfully controlled the world. At that time, the hero was defeated by force and swallowed up. Until today, he built the so-called "Man can conquer nature". Today, it is also the time when heaven prevails over man.

Familiar with the distance of the Manchu family, secretly entering the official position, seeking power, promoting the official position, abusing money by the army, governing the country badly and lacking discipline. Still follow the private theory of nonsense, bullying without faith, both at home and abroad are sick. I punished North Korea for being rude to me. The Qing family refused to regard North Korea as my vassal country and did not allow other countries to interfere. Our country respects a big country by attaching great importance to its neighbors, because we dare not fight hard, but we dare not shut [smell] North Korea, because it should accept my request on behalf of North Korea. This is the reason why he refused. Moreover, he also instigated the Korean monarch and minister to ask those who suffered from me and Japan to give it. Yesterday, it was the Manchu family who instigated Yangfu, a famous town, to break the Covenant of Tianjin and send troops to North Korea to fulfill its plot. Is it safe to be a good neighbor? I am an idiot, I am an ox and a horse. It's tolerable, but why not? That's why our country raises its flag and deals with your country.

Your country has been called a country of etiquette since ancient times, and so has Lord Wang Ming Shi Zhi, who respects faith and is courteous. Nowadays, it is nothing more than a violation of morality to despise other countries but have great self-esteem. God is tired of its virtue, and the people are tired of its rule, indifferent to their soldiers and refusing to care about them. So the teacher who went abroad was defeated by Yashan, annihilated by Toyoda, defeated by Pyongyang and drowned in the ocean. Every time you lose, you make fun of other countries. It is the cause of the life that the Qing family has done, the world and the abandonment. I, Japan, should be god's will, and the soldiers will block it. In order to blame the Beijing imperial court, he tied up Manchu to beg for surrender, did everything I asked, vowed never to resist me and then rested. Although, the punishment in our country is in the Manchu court, not in your people; It is better to love Xinjue Roche than to despise the foot soldiers. If not, your soldiers will come to surrender to prove it.
