To talk about Japan's aggressive behavior against China, they were simply incredible. When China was strong, they sent the best talents from the country to Tang Dynasty to learn Chinese culture and educational knowledge. After copying it back, they began to constantly change and reform, making a small country gradually stronger. After the strength of
, they spyed on China's vast land at any time, trying to take it for themselves. In the late Qing Dynasty, they finally found an opportunity. The Qing government at that time was extremely poor and could step on anyone. As a neighbor, Japan was the country that stepped on the most ruthless, and seriously launched a 14-year invasion against China.
But China's hell is too wide. In the past 14 years, Japan has not yet entered the market. Do you know which 8 provinces it is? There is one of them you may not have heard of, let’s learn about it together.
Backward powers were bullied
In the late Qing Dynasty, the Qing government adopted a policy of closing the country to the end. The government was only immersed in the illusory beauty it drew, but it was not known that other countries had already started the industrial revolution , and national strength was developing rapidly. Japan also used their usual learning skills to learn the industrial development of Western countries . Therefore, Japan's modernization development also took shape at that time.
may not be as good as the West's Britain and France, but it is much stronger than the Qing government, which not only has not developed but is still regressing. After becoming stronger, Japan began to want to expand its territory. However, its neighboring China has a large territory and a wealth of resources and is backward and weak, so it has naturally become their best choice.
At that time, the spirit that Japanese society advocated the most was the Bushido spirit, and Bushido spirit was an extreme military power. The Japanese samurai's indifference to life and their hobbies for killing were engraved in their bones. They didn't even care about their own lives. It was just such a group of people. moved towards the Chinese territory where there were weaknesses at that time, and began burning, killing and looting for 14 years.
Japan's strategy and routes invasion of China
At the beginning, Japan began to test it from the three northeastern provinces . After all, China may not be so easy to invade, but when their plan to assassinate the then Northeast warlord Zhang Zuolin was successful, Zhang Xueliang obeyed the command of Chiang Kai-shek without resisting, and Northeast was easily held firmly by the Japanese army.
tasted the sweetness in the early temptation, and the Japanese army began to gain confidence in occupying more Chinese territories. They knew that the Chinese citizens who were still in feudal thought had a natural obedience to the emperor, so they began to help the last emperor Puyi establish Manchukuo, trying to control other Chinese citizens by controlling Puyi.
After occupying the Northeast with rich resources, Japan launched an attack on Shanghai again. Japan's considerations were actually very logical, because at that time, Shanghai was the most economically developed region in China and the region where new ideas collided with the most sparks. As long as Shanghai could be occupied, it would be equivalent to pinch China's economic and cultural lifeline . As long as these two lifelines were pinched, it would be much easier to occupy other provinces in China.
Then, the Japanese army mainly operated in North China , trying to connect the North China region to the occupied areas of Northeast China into a line. In this way, all the most important provinces in northern China belong to Japan. The Japanese army fought very well, but the domestic resistance was not weak, and the war was delayed longer and longer.
Then, the Japanese army saw that China's anti-Japanese forces were becoming more and more united, and used various conspiracies to occupy Shanghai. After Shanghai fell, the Japanese army continued to attack Nanjing and committed the evil deeds of massacring 300,000 people in Nanjing, which made our citizens feel distressed and angry when they think about it.
8 provinces were unscathed. One of them was called Xikang
In 1945, Japan, which created countless tragedies in China and massacred countless Chinese, was finally defeated and returned in shame. During the 14 years of invasion in China, they traveled almost half of China, and only 8 provinces survived and were not affected by this cruel war.
What are the 8 provinces? In fact, it is the northwestern part of our country's territory. is Xinjiang, Tibet, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, Sichuan, Shaanxi and XiKang. Why are these provinces not poisoned by Japan? The big reason is that although these places have vast terrain and may be rich in materials, they are easy to defend and difficult to attack. The possibility of attacking is relatively small, and the price it needs to be paid is too high, so they focus their limited energy on attacking North China and southern cities. The first seven provinces in
are completely familiar to Chinese people who have studied geography since childhood, but Xikang is a name that many people have never heard of. Maybe they still doubt that this province once existed? The answer is of course yes.
Xikang Province is actually a part of Sichuan Province and a part of Tibet, mainly including Linzhi in Tibet, Changdu City , as well as Ganzi Prefecture , Panzhihua City, Liangshan Prefecture and Ya'an City under the jurisdiction of Sichuan Province. These administrative regions used to belong to Xikang Province.
1911, the establishment of Xikang Province was first proposed to completely resolve conflicts around Sichuan, Tibet, Yunnan and other places using this method, and to use Xikang Province to provide these provinces with a convenient way to connect and pass. But the Qing government was facing the end of destruction at that time, so the proposal was left unresolved. During the period of
, the provincial construction incident was being prepared, but the country was in turmoil and it was not successful. It was not until 1939 that the Republic of China government finally approved this proposal and Xikang Province was officially established. Then Ya'an City was established as the provincial capital at that time. After the establishment of
, Xikang Province did not calm down. Instead, it continued to conflict with surrounding provinces and cities. Until 1955, after consideration, the central government decided to divide most of the administrative areas of Xikang Province into Sichuan Province. From then on, Xikang Province became history.
Conclusion
These 8 provinces, including Xikang Province, have not experienced such a cruel war, which is considered a blessing in disgrace. But the history of the Japanese invasion of China should be kept in mind until today. What we are trying to prevent a large number of compatriots who were massacred in the past 14 years from slaughtering in vain. is also to remind the younger generation that we must work hard all the time, because only by constantly striving for self-improvement can our country become stronger and no longer be bullied like we were at that time.
