About This Novel
Better than the novel! The Russo-Japanese War sounded the alarm, and there were many obstacles to the political reform of the Qing Dynasty! From the Sino-Japanese War of 1891 to the Revolution of 1911, various forces and interest groups fought life and death and finally perished together in the 18 years of the late Qing Dynasty. A Russo-Japanese War that took place in China completely stung the numb nerves of the late Qing Dynasty. Reform finally had to be pushed onto the fast track. The Manchu royal family and the powerful Yuan Shikai launched a desperate struggle for the leadership of reform. Regardless of whether they are Westernizers or reformers, conservatives or reformers, constitutionalists or revolutionaries, as long as they step into the center of power, they will without exception transform into a force - a vested interest group. Open this book and understand why the Reform Movement of 1898 turned into a coup of 1898, why Cixi bombarded the embassy first and then massacred the Boxers, why Yuan Shikai was both the promoter of reform and the key to the fall of the Qing Dynasty... See through the extremely clear logic of power behind the layers of strange historical fog.
