After the Jeonju peace treaty was reached, the Bangzi Nation requested the Zulong Nation and the Sun Nation to withdraw their troops. The Sun Nation's envoy to the Bangzi Nation, Oshima, began to negotiate with the Qing court's minister, Yuan Shikai, to withdraw their troops. He verbally agreed to withdraw their troops and even requested a written agreement. However, on the one hand, the Sun Nation's government reached a joint withdrawal agreement. On the other hand, on June 15th, they threw out the Zulong Nation and the Sun Nation. The two countries jointly discussed the reform resolution of the Bangzi Nation, thus making the previously reached agreement to withdraw troops. After that, the Sun Nation began to send more troops. On June 16th, Major General Oshima led the First Mixed Brigade and the first batch of troops landed at Inchon.
On the 28th of June, the second batch of troops of the mixed regiment landed in the Bangzi Kingdom. The Sun Nation's army had reached more than 8,000 people, which was more than the Zulong Nation's army in the Bangzi Kingdom. They had an absolute advantage. The Zulong Nation's decision-maker, Li Hongzhang, the governor and Beiyang minister, hoped that the two countries would withdraw their troops together. They did not send reinforcements to the Bangzi Kingdom, nor did they follow the suggestions of Yuan Shikai and Nie Cheng to withdraw their troops first, which ultimately gave the Sun Nation people an opportunity to take advantage of.
The reason why the Sun Nation had jointly proposed to reform the Korean army, in the name of assisting the Korean to reform their internal affairs, was to stay in the Korean army and not leave. On the other hand, it highlighted the fact that the Korean army was stationed in the Korean army. It was completely a provocative method to start a war. The reason why he threw out the common reform of the Korean nation and emphasized the need for reform was that he sent the first letter of severing ties to the Zulong government on June 22nd. After that, Li Hongzhang hoped to mediate with the Western powers and the European and American powers to let the Sun Nation withdraw its troops. Due to the interests of the various countries mentioned above, the Western powers only condemned the Sun Nation and did not take any tough measures. The more flexible the Sun Nation's diplomatic strategy was, the more they adopted a wait-and-see attitude. The mediation failed. On July 14th, the Sun Nation sent a second letter of severing ties to the Ancestral Dragon Nation. They refused to withdraw their troops and falsely accused the Ancestral Dragon Nation. They threatened that if an accident happened, the Sun Nation government would not be responsible. They announced that the negotiations between the two countries had broken down.
The Imperial Court of Ancestral Dragon Kingdom was already in an uproar. They were baffled by the Sun Nation's letter of severing ties with them. Why did they propose to sever ties? What exactly happened? No one had guessed that war was coming. This resulted in a lack of countermeasures. There were no countermeasures at all. The war was quietly approaching. On one hand, they were well prepared to fight, but on the other hand, they were not prepared at all. It was obvious who the final victor of the war would be.
After the Sun Nation broke off diplomatic relations with the Ancestral Dragon Nation for the first time, they began to reform the internal affairs of the Bangzi Nation alone. During the negotiations with the Bangzi Nation, they forced the Bangzi Nation to deny that they were a vassal state of the Ancestral Dragon Nation. On the other hand, they provided five 27 reform plans and forced the Bangzi Nation to accept them within a time limit. However, the Bangzi Nation government was close to the Ancestral Dragon Nation, so they did not hesitate at all. Instead, they reactivated them. At that time, the Sun Nation's embassy said that the Bangzi Nation had sent troops during the debate. He had some ulterior motives and should have opposed it. The Bangzi Nation was extremely disgusted by the Sun Nation's insolence. They rejected the Sun Nation's request and repeatedly urged the Sun Nation to withdraw its troops. On July 17th, the negotiations between the Bangzi Nation and the Sun Nation also broke down.
During July 1894, the Sun Nation's conspiracy to start a war became more and more obvious. The fishing boats in the Ancestral Dragon Nation and the generals stationed in the Bangzi Nation requested the Ancestral Dragon Nation to send more troops to prepare for the war. A war faction led by the Emperor and the Minister of Revenue was formed. However, Empress Dowager Cixi did not want the 60th birthday to be disturbed by war. In order to protect his position and the strength of the Northern Navy, Li Hongzhang also attempted to form a peace faction with these people. In the middle of July, after the negotiations between the Zulong Kingdom and the Sun Nation broke down, they did not make any moves. Only then did they respond to the Emperor's request and begin to send troops to reinforce the Bangzi Kingdom. Therefore, the negotiations broke down and the mediation of the great powers failed. On July 17th, 1894, the Sun Nation's headquarters made the decision to send troops. On July 24th, the Sun Nation's joint fleet, led by Sukehito Ito, was ready to stir up trouble at any time. At the same time, the Sun Nation's embassy in Korea issued an ultimatum to the Korean government, demanding the abolition of the treaty and the expulsion of the Chinese soldiers. Request a reply within 48 hours!
The Bangzi Kingdom continued to be perfunctory, so the Sun Nation decided to send troops to take control of the Bangzi Kingdom. They claimed that they had been attacked by the Ancestral Dragon Nation's troops stationed in the Bangzi Kingdom and accepted the battle commission from the Bangzi Kingdom.
In the early morning of July 23, 1894, the Sun Nation's army attacked the palace of Han City, and the Korean garrison was defeated. The Sun Nation supported the Bangzi Nation's King, Li Xi, and dissolved the Bangzi Nation's pro-Zulong Nation government to prevent the King's biological father, the Great Hope Lord, Li Zhengying, from being pro-Zulong Nation's government. He turned the tables on the Bangzi Nation's relationship and entrusted the Sun Nation's army to expel the Zulong Nation's army stationed in the Bangzi Nation. After announcing the request of the Bangzi Nation's government, on July 25th, 1894, the Sun Nation went to war without a declaration. They attacked the Zulong Nation's army stationed in the Bangzi Nation on the sea of Fengdao Island. During the battle of Toshima, the Sun Nation's 1st Right-Right After knowing the method and time, the war between the Ancestral Dragon Kingdom and the Sun Kingdom finally erupted.
On August 1st, 1894, the two countries officially declared war. The Ancestral Dragon Kingdom declared war, pointing out that the Bangzi Kingdom had always been a vassal of the Ancestral Dragon Kingdom, and that they wanted to send troops at the request of the Bangzi Kingdom's government. The Sun Nation had violated the treaty, and the court could not tolerate it anymore. Therefore, Li Hongzhang led his army to quickly suppress them.。
The Sun Nation's Emperor was at loggerheads in the declaration of war, creating the Bangzi Empire. The first to discover the independent country was the five countries. The reason was that the empire helped the Bangzi Empire reform and was determined to casually agree to stay in the Ancestral Dragon Kingdom. However, they secretly came up with various plans and sent an army to attack me. In view of Huang Hai's arrogance, he made it clear that he would prevent the Korean nation from war forever. He protected the overall situation in East Asia and only showed off the appearance of the empire peacefully. He pointed out to Zhan Shuji inside and outside that the Sun had no choice but to send troops at the request of the Korean nation.
