Features: This is a long-form masterpiece that reveals the conspiracy activities of Japanese early intelligence groups in China. In the summer of 1894, the troop transport ship rented by the Beiyang Navy of China was sunk by Japanese warships in the territorial waters of the Bohai Gulf. Li Hongzhang never dreamed that this tragic scene was caused by his nephew selling core secrets to Japanese spies. Similarly, the opulent Empress Dowager Cixi, who was immersed in luxury, and the officials busy offering "Millennium Tribute" to the Empress were unaware that a vast and Japanese intelligence network had already dominated the Qing court. At that time, a large amount of graphical intelligence materials on various aspects of China were presented on the desk of Emperor Meiji and the Imperial Japanese General Staff. The invasion of China, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894, which was meticulously planned to strike the "sleeping lion" - China - was about to break out! Based on the author's extensive reading of Qing historical archives and related documents, this book presents this secret story of the last century to the readers in its entirety. You will see the initial adventurous figures and dirty faces of those famous Japanese spies in modern and contemporary history, and at the same time, from the various scandals of the corrupt and ignorant Qing government, you will feel the sorrow of a dynasty and the solemnity of history. Especially in response to the current actions of the right-wing forces in Japan denying the history of aggression against China and attempting to revive militarism, this book will provide us with many beneficial insights.
