Kang Youwei's Wuxu Proposition: China and Japan merge and let Ito Hirobumi manage China

The Wuxu Reform, which occurred more than a hundred years ago, ultimately ended in failure. The Six Gentlemen generously died and were bloodstained on the execution ground. However, the initiator of this reform, Kang Youwei, fled and made the world fully understand his true face.

If Kang Youwei were only greedy for life and afraid of death, it would be enough. However, some of his remarks were deeply resentful by future generations. For example, Kang Youwei proposed in his memorial to Emperor Guangxu that he could consider merging with Japan to form a new country, and leave the specific affairs of this country to Ito Hirobumi for management.

I don't know what kind of person would come up with such a wonderful statement, but as a scholar, Kang Youwei not only thought so, but also did so. This is a bit strange.

However, Kang Youwei overlooked a problem, as the actual ruler of the Qing Dynasty at that time was Empress Dowager Cixi, not Guangxu. Although Cixi was weak externally, she deeply hated the foreigners in her heart, otherwise she would not have declared war on the eleven countries.

Especially at that time, the Qing Dynasty had just experienced the Sino Japanese War, which resulted in the loss of most of its national strength, and the entire dynasty was gnashing its teeth at Japan. At this critical moment, Kang Youwei unexpectedly proposed to merge with Japan, and Cixi would not be the first to agree.

Kang Youwei should have also realized this, so he simply took a stand and forged the imperial edict of Guangxu, intending to kill Cixi to remove the biggest obstacle to his reform.

Kang Youwei's act of kicking his nose and face completely angered Cixi. She, who had been watching behind the scenes, couldn't help but stand up decisively and ordered the arrest of these people.

Kang Youwei saw the situation and ran away, saving his life. However, Emperor Guangxu and the "Six Gentlemen of Wuxu" were implicated by him and were killed by the guards. In the end, this change was forced to come to an end in a bloody storm.

It's hard to imagine that the scumbag talk of "merging with Japan" actually came from a person who had read the books of sages. How did Kang Youwei conceive such a statement? Kang himself did not mention it, but from his close proximity to the Japanese, it can be seen that he was brainwashed by the Japanese.

Moreover, Japan became stronger through the Meiji Restoration, which provided Kang Youwei with ideas for reform and evolved into a bottomless Meiyang.

This also indirectly explains why Kang Youwei was able to smoothly hide in the Japanese embassy when the Qing government was searching for reformers, and the Japanese believed that he had value in making use of him.

In addition, Kang Youwei once proposed sending a large number of Chinese people to Brazil to establish a new country there, which Kang Youwei referred to as the "Confucian New China". How's it going? Is the brain hole big enough?!

However, this is only the tip of the iceberg of Kang Youwei's bizarre remarks. It is said that Kang Youwei wrote a book called "Human Axioms" in his early years in Guangdong before he made his mark. However, due to the content in the book being so outrageous, he dared not make it public and secretly hid it to comfort himself. Some of the comments in this book later became the main source of Kang Youwei's reform theory.

Later, Kang Youwei was recognized and praised by Liang Qichao and Chen Qianqiu when promoting his theory. The two of them worshipped Kang Youwei to the extreme and requested him to accept them as disciples. Kang Youwei was very happy to see someone worship him so much, so he accepted the two on the spot.

Later, when Kang Youwei saw that Liang and Chen Ertu admired him to the point where both of them believed everything he said, he couldn't bear it. He took out the book "Axioms of Humanity" and let them pass it on.

After reading it, Liang Qichao was filled with admiration. A few years later, he renamed the book "Da Tong Shu" and published it publicly, which made the world understand Kang Youwei's true thoughts.

Kang Youwei's works depict his ideal 'Great Harmony Society', which has no state, no class, and even no ethnic distinction. Everyone is born equal, and everything in life is borne by the government. Men and women can freely fall in love and cohabit for a year, and then have to switch people. The children born will be handed over to the government and raised by the government

In addition, the rhetoric of "Sino Japanese merger" and "immigration to Brazil" can also be found in it.

Fortunately, Kang Youwei's idea did not materialize in the end. If the rulers of the Qing Dynasty had really had a hot head and listened to Kang Youwei's nonsense, then perhaps Chinese civilization would have been destroyed and the land of China would have become a complete colony.

After Kang Youwei fled, he ran overseas with a forged "dress edict" and amassed wealth recklessly, deceiving countless overseas Chinese. Kang Youwei himself was extravagant and lived a luxurious life, fully exposing his ugly face.

In addition, Kang Youwei once again dreamed of a "Sino Japanese merger", and for this reason, he jumped up and down, repeatedly requesting Japan to send troops to China.

However, at this time, Kang Youwei had already lost his utility value, so the Japanese ignored him at all. Fortunately, Kang Youwei's absurd ideas did not materialize in the end.
