Li Hongzhang’s merits and demerits debate

Don’t you want to read it yourself? Let me add it in front of each paragraph, you have to summarize it yourself

I am not here to score points, but to express my true feelings:

Say a few words that should not be said, It’s also something you can’t see in books.

Isn’t this idea exactly what our current leaders think?

A large amount of sophisticated equipment, etc., shows that he is not blindly worshiping foreign countries. Wait

*Past:

However, like our current government, he was too weak and cared too much about economic development and neglected integrity. It was just that her era was not good. , they came to invade, and at that time a woman was in power, Empress Dowager Cixi was a woman, and the country had been corrupt for a long time, so failure was inevitable.

*Gong:

In other words, if the original team of the current government had been replaced by that time, they would not be as talented as Li Hongzhang.

In short,

*Gong***

Li Hongzhang’s merit lies in his diplomatic skills, political ability, and superb military management ability, which brought the Qing Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. The government's hope for recovery brought a little spark of light in the darkness of history, such as the Beiyang Fleet.

He made too many failed decisions during the fleeting battle opportunities.

*Dialectic***

However, Li Hongzhang’s merit is not the merit of one person. How many brave warriors and generals of the Qing Dynasty cannot be ignored

Similarly Li Hongzhang's faults were not his fault alone. The education given to him in the background, the political pressure and a lot of helplessness also forced him to make many mistakes.

I don’t hate him, nor do I like him. Although historical failures are inevitable, I don’t think we should think that he should bear the responsibility for the failure. Maybe victory or defeat is determined. As long as you do what you should do and as long as you are morally responsible, there is no absolute right or wrong.

Personal opinion.
