Before his death, Li Hongzhang warned future generations that this country was an obstacle to the development of China. What happened?

In fact, people are used to remembering one side and ignoring the other. As we all know, the Qing Dynasty died in 1912, but few people know when the Qing Dynasty flourished. As for Li Hongzhang, a famous minister in the late Qing Dynasty, everyone knows that he died in 191, but do you know when he was born? Or what he said before he died? This is all little known.

In p>1823, Li Hongzhang was born in Hefei, Anhui Province, so he also had a nickname "Li Hefei". His father had been trying hard to get into the Jinshi, but he failed in the exam for a long time. He was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of 37. In fact, it was as if God had arranged that he was admitted to the Jinshi this year, and he was blessed by God, because his father Li Wenan met a man-Zeng Guofan. Originally, there was no connection between the two people, but after this exam, two people got to know each other, which was considered as having experienced the imperial examination together. Moreover, in the same year of high school, they had a good relationship, so after Li Hongzhang was admitted to Juren in 1844, he went to Zeng Guofan's home to continue studying, so he was also taught by Zeng Guofan and made great progress in his studies.

But Li Hongzhang was not famous at first. He was always full of hope for the future and wanted to make great achievements. Unfortunately, he never got a chance. Later, he was admitted to Jinshi and became an official in the DPRK, but there was no chance of promotion. Even Zeng Guofan asked for his official position several times, but the court ignored him. Later, Li Hongzhang finally waited for an opportunity. When he was almost forty years old, his official career began to go smoothly. He went to the battlefield and had military service, which made him always promoted. Finally, he could stand on the same level as Zeng Guofan. If there was anything in the DPRK, he used Li Hongzhang.

At that time, the affairs between Manchu and foreigners were very complicated, so Li Hongzhang talked with foreigners as an intermediary and signed many treaties. At that time, he was in power in the DPRK, which was completely different from the weak scholar at that time, but he also felt helpless and depressed at that time. He once said that his name was the last thing he wanted to write in this world. It is also because he often associates with foreigners that he has a preliminary understanding of people in many countries.

He knew that two countries, Russia and Japan, would threaten the rule of the Qing Dynasty in the future. If the Qing Dynasty wanted to continue to develop, it had to destroy this country first, and this country was Japan that had been staring at China. Nowadays, the Manchu Dynasty has let people gradually fade away with the passage of time, but today's China is no longer what it was at the beginning, and has long stood in the forefront of the world.

Li Hongzhang's life is so legendary, but later generations have different opinions on him, but few people know that he was also very unhappy when he signed the treaty, but he finally chose to be scolded by later generations. He had thought about how future generations would evaluate himself before signing the treaty.

But he has to do it again. Who can sign this treaty except him? But when he saw the prosperous times, he should also be smiling.
