甲午戰爭,大清帝國一敗塗地。現在,很多人寫文章,扒出大清種種不堪,然後下結論說——清軍本來就必敗無疑。
持這種看法的人,恐怕是「事後諸葛亮」。
當年,國際社會普遍認為大清帝國贏麵大,就是日本自己也沒有戰勝大清的把握。至於大清帝國統治者,更是認為自己必勝:我打不過西方列強,我還打不過你小日本?何況我現在有北洋海軍。
然而,戰爭一開打,清軍一敗塗地。值得玩味的是,真實的戰局全世界都知道就一個群體不知道——大清普通子民。他們不是不知道消息,而是從報紙上看到大量報導——我朝大軍屢戰屢勝,日軍一敗再敗……
然而,用再厚實的紙包裹謊言,也很容易被真相之火燒得灰飛煙滅。當台灣被割走,全國還要賠償2億兩白銀,謊言編不下去了。大勝的宣傳和大敗的事實,形成了巨大反差。

這麼大一口鍋,當然需要一個大人物來背——李鴻章。儘管他在馬關挨了一槍,為國家節省了1億兩銀子,回國後仍被痛罵為漢奸,人人喊殺。慈禧當然知道李鴻章是代自己受過,為了保護他,讓其出洋考察,避避風頭……
戰前的大清,有些外強中乾,就好像一座外表光鮮,結構腐朽的房子,外麵的人隻看到油漆很新也刷得漂亮。隻有裡麵的人比如李鴻章才知道真相,但他不敢說破。而且,大夥兒需要一個強大的國家,媒體滿足了大家的心理和願望。李鴻章的戰略是「保持猛虎在山之勢」,威懾對手,但很清楚不能真打……
講多少道理,都不如一堵南牆,頭破血流才知道疼知道錯知道改。甲午戰爭後,出現了留日大潮,中國現代史上政界、軍界、文壇不少牛人大咖都有留日經歷……
下麵,是大清媒體對甲午戰爭的圖片報導,有火牛陣大破日軍(以及放狗打敗日軍),擒殺日軍統帥樺山資紀(實為日本海軍軍令部部長),還有娘子軍,甚至還知道日本人民不願當兵賣命等……而且,關於大陸戰場和海上戰場很簡略,關於朝鮮和台灣戰場很詳細,箇中玄妙,諸位邊看邊品吧。
