The Naval Battle of Jiawu/甲午海战 [Chinese]

By: 陈悦

A masterwork by Chen Yue, an expert in naval history - an in-depth focus on the modern war that decided the fate of China and Japan, telling the story of the Jiawu War (First Sino-Japanese War) in a different light. 海军史专家陈悦力作，深度聚焦近代中日国运之战，讲述不一样的甲午战争。 The First Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, which took place one hundred and thirty years ago, was an important turning point in the fate of modern China. The naval battles between China and Japan ran through almost the entire course of the war. They were prominent markers of the war's outbreak, its turning point, and its final outcome, and they influenced the direction of the entire war situation, exerting a crucial impact on victory or defeat for both sides. Why did the Qing court lose? Who was responsible? What were the lessons? These questions have prompted reflection among the Chinese people for more than a hundred years, and even today, "avenging the humiliation of Jiawu" remains an enduring sentiment among the Chinese people. Taking the military operations of the Beiyang Fleet as its main thread, this book presents the entire course of the Jiawu naval war in five parts: the Battle of Fengdao, the Battle of the Yellow Sea, the Battle of L shun, the Fall of Weihaiwei, and the Destruction of the Beiyang Fleet. Drawing on rare Chinese and foreign historical sources, underwater archaeological findings, and historical images, and combined with rigorous historical narrative, the book restores the details of battlefield scenes and vividly recreates the rapidly changing war situation, the thrilling scenes of naval combat, and the moving stories of heroes. The book also provides brilliant analysis of the naval strategies and tactics of both China and Japan, and clearly presents the institutional ills of the late Qing government, the internal factional struggles, and the inner thoughts and choices of the generals involved in the war, profoundly revealing the truth behind the disastrous defeat of the Beiyang Fleet and the fearless courage of those who fought to the end. 一百三十年前的中日甲午战争，是近代中国命运的重要转折点。中日海战几乎贯穿了战争的全过程，是战争爆发、转折和最终结局的突出标志，牵动着整个战局的走向，对于双方的胜负产生了至关重要的影响。清廷为什么会战败？谁是责任人？教训是什么？这些问题引发了国人百数十年的反思，时至今日，"雪耻甲午"仍是国人挥之不去的情节。 本书以北洋海军的军事行动为主线，从丰岛海战、黄海海战、旅顺之战、威海卫沦陷、北洋舰队覆灭五个部分全景展示甲午海战的整个过程。书中利用中外稀见史料、水下考古成果和历史图片，配合严谨的历史叙事，还原战争场景细节，生动再现瞬息万变的战争态势、惊心动魄的海战场面和可歌可泣的英雄故事。本书还对中日双方海军战略战术问题予以精彩分析，并清晰呈现了晚清政府的制度弊病、内部派系斗争，以及参战将领的内心活动和抉择，深刻揭示了北洋海军惨败的真相和奋力一搏的无畏勇气。
