C1325 Russia's Oriental Strategy

There was no such thing as justice in a war. Humans covetously believed that everything was theirs, but there were still countless others that believed that everything was theirs.

When you plant a field of wheat and work hard, you think all the harvest is your own, but it's not. The tax collector thinks that a third of it is his, the king thinks that the land is his, the thieves think that half of it is his, and the foreign bandits think that everything in the land is his and your wife's.

Not only that, but even birds and mice believed that they had a share of the land.

In fact, in the hearts of the high-ranking military officers of the aristocracy, Shao Russia and the others, what they had done was the same as what the Qing Dynasty had done 200 years ago and the Yuan Dynasty had done 500 years ago.

If one wanted to be happy, they would have to fight for the people in the warm lands. What is so unreasonable about this kind of robbery that runs through the entire human world?

Look at Paris, London, Berlin, Austria... Who were the ancestors of the people who lived happily in the cities of civilization? Germanic, Gallic, Viking, Gothic... There was once a name for these people, and it was the label given to them by the Roman Empire, the Berserker Tribe.

The great Roman Empire was destroyed by the wars of the foreign races, the ethnic minorities in the bitter cold lands of the north. With the spirit of the fearless robbers who were unafraid of death, pain, and sacrifice, they defeated Rome and established their own nation.

All of this had happened in the East and West, especially in China. For thousands of years, the Northern barbarians had been waging war for the wealth of the Central Plains, even establishing a regime that lasted for hundreds of years.

Why should the Manchu enslave the Chinese for two hundred years, when the great Tsar could not enslave the Chinese for two hundred years? Your Manchu can enter the stage, and we can also enter the stage. In any case, the Chinese are just a group of docile little sheep.

Was there any difference between paying taxes to the Manchu and paying taxes to the Tsar? In any case, in the history of the Chinese people, was it rare to pay taxes in exchange for peace and a way to survive?

Sha Russia and English and French were completely different. Right now, the English and French was fighting for the benefit of the sea, their desire for the territory was not very strong, and when they occupied the colonies, they valued the ports, the golden route, and the resources of the colonies.

In the English and French's mind, as long as your port and waterway can be used by me as I please, the resources would be given to me cheaply and our industrial products could be dumped freely.

As long as you can guarantee these few things, we have absolutely no interest in subverting your power. Who do you want to be the emperor and who want to be the emperor?

But the Russian was different. The interests of the Sand Empire lay on the land, not in the sea. Why was it that until the 19th century, the Sand Country was still a serfdom society? Because of this bitter cold land, the output of the land was far inferior to that of the warm land in the south. If people wanted to obtain more food output, they would have to cultivate on the land.

Furthermore, the nineteenth century was not yet in the era of mechanization. Even British farming relied on manpower and livestock.

This was a magic spell as well as a vicious circle. If the natural environment was poor and the industry was poor, the productivity would plummet and the output per unit of land would be pitifully low.

Since the output per unit area was too little, people had to desperately expand the land area in order to survive. Whether it was farming or animal husbandry, if the efficiency was not enough, they had to make up for it with quantity.

Under such a spell, Russia would have to choose serfdom, a primitive social model that could operate on a large scale. The other point is that there is a huge thirst for land, and they must have more land to adapt to this economic model.

Moreover, the barbarians in the Land of Bitterness were extremely strong in combat. Moreover, they had a strong social system and an economic base. Therefore, all of this had led to the formation of the massive Russian Empire.

Why invade? Sometimes, to certain races, not to invade was really not enough to live, it would be clan annihilation!

The land contact between Russia and China had lasted as long as Kang Xi's years. The battle between the Jacques Sa and the Great Qing Province had maintained peace for more than a hundred years on the northern border.

It was only when the Industrial Revolution was in high spirits and the British took the lead in opening the doors to the Great Qing that the Sha Russian finally found an opportunity. In the Second Opium War, the Russia did not actually send troops, but only used intimidation to obtain a land of over one million square kilometers.

This was the best time for Sha Russia to reach out to the east. In the hearts of the upper echelons in Moscow, eating up the Qing Dynasty from the north to the south was a century-long strategy.

At first, he could occupy the Far East and carefully manage it. Then, he could make use of the resources of the Far East and the profits from trading with the Chinese to strengthen his influence in the Far East.

When the Trans-Siberian Railway was open, the railway could be used to transport more people and resources to the East.

Afterwards, they would take the opportunity to delve their power into the three provinces outside of the border, and let the Russia's power directly touch the Great Wall of the Han people. That way, the Sha and Russia would be able to replace the Huns, the Turkic, the Mongol and the Luo Zhen … And so on. It became the northern barbarian foot that directly bordered the land of the Han people.

Was there still a need to talk about the rest of the strategy? Naturally, he replaced the Manchu with the Tsar's regime in the middle of the fertile Central Plains, allowing the double-headed eagle flag to fly along the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

"What can a small female True Manchu do? Why can't we, the great Sha Russia, do? "If they could enslave the Central Plains for 200 years and change it to the powerful empire of the Russian Empire, then they could definitely enslave the Central Plains for 400 years, for 600 years …"

This was the common message of all the Soviets. It was also the eastern strategy assigned to them by the Tsar in the nineteenth century. Even if it took a hundred years to complete, they still could not give up.

However, no one had expected that such a strange chess piece would actually appear in the sky! Xiao Letian's sudden emergence of an army caused a lot of trouble for Sha Russia's eastern strategy. An expedition that originally did not exist in history had appeared, and the tragic defeat that should not have happened had turned around.

It could be imagined how deep the hatred the noble officers had for Xiao Letian went. Why was this damned bastard so unlike a Chinese? Aren't the Chinese all selfish?

Our Sha Russia has yet to provoke you, we are currently managing the land given out by the Manchu! What does it have to do with you, Han? What right do you have to meddle? You damned bastard, why do you care!

With a bang, He Mansiji's fist struck the side of the boat, causing the wooden thorn to pierce into the flesh, causing it to bleed profusely, "Since you choose to become our enemy, then let's just wait! The great Russia will avenge itself with the power of the downtrodden! We won't let you off! "
