The Formation And Initial Implementation Of The "Mainland Policy" In Modern Japan (1868-1905)

In modern times,Japan's external relations are mainly based on its continuous external aggression and expansion,and its basis is the mainland policy of Japan.The "continental policy" of Japan,as its name implies,is the policy system of aggression and expansion of Japan to the mainland,which is the main means to expand aggression to the mainland.It takes China and Korea as the main target of aggression and dominates the Asia and the plot world as the main target of action.In a broad sense,as an island country,Japan has long had an impulse and imagination to expand to the mainland.But it is true that the "continental policy" is implemented and realized in modern times,because after entering modern times,Japan has the ability to make true meaning in the reality of weak Asia and the rise of Japan."Continental policy" and put it into practice.Therefore,based on the actual development of the "continental policy" in Japan,this article selects from the 1868 Meiji Restoration to the end of the 1905 Japanese Russian war.This period is a period of detailed exposition of the formation and preliminary implementation of the "continental policy" in Japan,because in this historical period,the "continental policy" of Japan has experienced from imagination to specific formulation.First,Yamagata Aritomo proposed the "interest line" hypothesis,and then on the basis of "the interest line",through the two important foreign aggression wars,namely the Sino-Japanese War and the Japanese Russian war,monopolized the Korean Peninsula and the southern part of the northeast of China,making the Japanese "continental policy" into a new period,and also for Japan in the future.The possibility of external aggression and expansion is a realistic possibility.The first chapter of this article traces the source,based on the relevant information and historical facts,mainly discusses the objective factors of the formation of Japan's "continental policy".Generally speaking,the geographical environment of Japan has formed its unique national character of bullying and aggressiveness.The geographical environment and material conditions of the island have contributed to the expansion of the Japanese nation to a certain extent,especially the desire for the invasion of the mainland.The so-called national pride of the Japanese nation has also provided the ideological basis for its foreign aggression,which all drive the Japanese nation's external expansion.In addition,the history of Toyotomi Hideyoshi's foreign aggression,not only for the implementation of the Japanese continental policy carried out a preliminary attempt,but also for its continental policy to provide a realistic blueprint for aggression.In the later period of Tokugawa Shogunate in Japan,the Western powers turned the center of gravity of aggression to Asia,and many Asian countries were forced to open the country.Of course,Japan was unable to escape.The Japanese thinkers at the end of the Shogunate,looking at the internal and external situation at the time,put forward "the theory of overseas flying",that is to follow the Western powers through foreign aggression and expansion,in order to solve difficulties,It provided a theoretical basis for the policy of modern Japanese mainland and contributed to the formation of modern Japanese continental policy to a certain extent.The second chapter,on the basis of mastering the origin of the policy thoughts of the Japanese mainland,focuses on the process of the formation of the modern Japanese continental policy.The formation of the continental policy is not achieved overnight,but is constantly "perfected" in the invasion and expansion of the foreign countries.Specifically,since the establishment of the Meiji government,the foreign policy of opening up the four sides was set up.Influenced by the curtain thinkers,the Meiji government first threw the eyes of aggression to Korea.However,in view of the complex domestic and foreign situation,the "levy on Korea" has been in the dispute,with the subsequent foreign aggression trial and diplomacy.On the basis of good offices,Japan has gradually achieved some "results" and "gains".With the changing international situation in Northeast Asia,the modern Japanese continental policy was finally formed.Finally,the third chapter discusses the initial implementation process after the formation of the modern Japanese continental policy.In general,after the formation of the Japanese continental policy,the direct foreign aggression was to launch the Sino Japanese War of 1894,Japan,and Japan through the war of 1894 and the Japanese War of 1894,to gain a great deal of real interests,such as reparations and cuts,which all promoted the rapid development of Japanese capitalism.In Japan,it was the victory of the war of 1894.The huge expansion of the "benefits",which further stimulate Japan's attempts to foreign expansion plans more,then Japan and Russia in Northeast China and the Korean Peninsula China fight,until the conflicts,the outbreak of the Russo Japanese war.This series of wars and victories has enhanced Japan's ambition of foreign aggression and also promoted the continuous development of the policy of the mainland of Japan.
