Looking back at the right and wrong of fortress defense and coastal defense in the late Qing Dynasty, which is right and wrong between Li Hongzhang and Zuo?

First of all, Left is not a conformist, and the questioner is wrong.

The real representative of Serbian defense faction is Wang Wenshao (1874 1 Hunan Governor at the first coastal defense seminar in June,). The left view against giving up Xinjiang is undoubtedly correct, and Li Hongzhang's view of giving up Xinjiang is extremely wrong.

What is the coastal defense discussion? Two queens and a king? Discussion on how to develop coastal defense after deciding to develop it.

The discussion on coastal defense is divided into two parts. In the first section, the Haiphong faction represented by Li Hongzhang defeated the fortress faction, the frontier defense faction and the Jiangfang faction. However, Li Hongzhang advocated giving up Xinjiang, but Cixi and others were not satisfied. However, because Li Hongzhang's views occupied the main body, they were totally against it? Ask about policy? The main idea of. Therefore, they urgently need the left's opinions, and therefore, they copied the opinions of ministers (about 15 or more) to the left.

Zuo wrote an objection and raised it? Pay equal attention to coastal defense and defense? But at present, Xinjiang has fallen and belongs to a burning building. The threat of coastal defense will remain a threat in the future. If we prioritize, we must first solve the problem of building fire.

On the issue of Xinjiang, even Li Zhanghan, Li Hongzhang's brother, opposed giving up Xinjiang and supported continuing? Western expedition? . Li Hongzhang once wrote to his brother that if you don't understand westernization, just listen to me. You can just copy what I wrote. As a result, Li handed in the paper in advance.

Secondly, in the first discussion about coastal defense, Li Hongzhang combined with others, and the specific measures of coastal defense were higher than the left viewpoint.

Are you online? National strategic defense center of gravity? On this issue, left is obviously higher than Li Hongzhang. In the later coastal defense development and construction, Li Hongzhang was superior to the Left because there was a senior think tank behind Li Hongzhang who was in charge of Jiangsu's finance and people's livelihood.

Ding Richang's contribution is mainly to put forward? Divide Sanyo into Beiyang, Zhongyang and Nanyang? At the same time, the Constitution of the Marine Navy was formulated, which provided a model for the rules and regulations of the China Navy in the future and how to practice them.

Night after night, Longquan 12-07 13:52, the project manager of Suzhou Industrial Park Construction Co., Ltd., paid attention to Li as a coastal defense school, saying that the left was an inappropriate coastal defense school, and the left repeatedly emphasized that coastal defense and defense were equally important. Nanyang Naval Academy was founded by Zuo. Fujian Shipyard was also founded by Zuo Gong, and the first self-built small cargo ship in modern China was also built under the leadership of Zuo Gong.

Li's so-called coastal defense is just to build a navy as a political bargaining chip for his promotion and wealth. Not to defend the territory of the country. Li's core idea is to be an official desperately, so Li is cronyism in employing people, taking kickbacks when purchasing arms for the country and accepting bribes from subordinates, all in order to make money. Fear of the ocean is like a tiger. It's all empty talk.

At that time, the funds of the Qing government were limited. If Zuo Gong was given the task of recovering Xinjiang, the establishment of his navy would be delayed, and it was inevitable to rock the boat (at that time, there were also Jiangfang factions headed by Ceng Guoquan). Therefore, I do not hesitate to bear the name of traitors and urge them to give up Xinjiang. For Xinjiang, it took 100 years from Kangxi to Qianlong in the Qing Dynasty, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to get this piece done. Li wants to give up 1/6' s land for his own benefit. He is an asshole for a long time. It's not too bad. Empress Dowager Cixi made the most correct political decision in her life, that is, she chose the left instead of listening to Li. If Xinjiang had been ceded at that time and the money had been given to Li, the consequences would have been nothing more than adding some money to Lao Li's private treasury and sinking more ships under the Yellow Sea, because most of Li's troops, like himself, were making money and had no fighting capacity. Of course, Li was afraid that the left would win, and the limelight overshadowed himself. He did a lot of black hands behind the left, banned it economically and manpower, and cracked down on its corruption politically. Unfortunately, these are not rare for the upright and upright Zuo. Xinjiang has finally returned to the embrace of China.

Let me emphasize again that Zuo is a politician and strategist. He is proficient in astronomy, geography, water conservancy and agriculture. Mr. Li Er is just a civil war expert and a politician who is an outsider in foreign wars. There is no comparability between the two. Comparing Li with Zuo Gong is an insult to Zuo Gong.
