Is the Ming capable of expelling Russia from northern China, saying no, I'm afraid the Russians themselves won't believe it. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the Ming-French War, France successively sent 800,000 troops, plus more than one million Vietnamese puppet troops, but they were always at a disadvantage on the battlefield in Vietnam, and were always besieged by the Ming army.

Although Russia is known as a steam roller and is feared by all European countries, it is generally believed that the Russian terror lies in the infinite superiority of soldiers, not in the high quality of individual soldiers, and when it comes to the quality of individual soldiers, the discipline of the German army and the bravery of the French army are the most commendable.

The quality of the Da Ming army on the battlefield in Vietnam surprised the Europeans very much, and they had the impression that the army of the Eastern nation was a huge, chaotic, and cowardly complex, and when confronting the highly organized and rigorous European armies, the Europeans were often able to defeat the huge number of the Eastern Army with fewer victories.

The Daming army was not only large in number, but also not easily defeated, but proved to be able to compete head-on with the French army on many battlefields, and they suddenly found that the organizational ability brought by the discipline brought by the discipline of the Chinese after professional military training was not lost to the French, if not stronger than the French. In fact, Ming officers generally believed that their soldiers were more disciplined and tougher, and that they lacked nothing more than the adventurous spirit of the whites. Both officers and soldiers generally seek stability and tend to use defensive tactics rather than boldly carry forward the spirit of taking the initiative to attack.

By building the Kyakhta Railway and rushing to repair the railway from Zhangjiakou to Huludao promised by the Qing government during the confrontation last year, the Russians greatly improved the transportation conditions and gained the ability to deploy troops on a large scale in the East.

Historians have always marveled at the grandeur of the Russian conquest of Siberia, but they have often overlooked the geographical superiority of the Russians in the direction of the conquest of Siberia.

Compared to China's entry into Siberia, in the era of modern transportation without trains, it had to pass through the desert or the primeval forests of the northeast, Siberia is almost an open area for Russia.

Due to the flat terrain of the Eastern European Plain, where Russia is located, the rivers in Russia are generally long and wide, without the obstruction of turbulence, and can be easily used as a means of passage and transportation for trade, colonization and conquest. The most advantageous thing is that the rivers of Russia are connected to the Siberian water system, and from the Don River it can be connected all the way to the Siberian water system.

The rivers of Siberia are equally wide and long, with a wide range of tributaries, and are suitable for small boats not only in summer but also for sledding in winter. The topography of the whole of Siberia is basically sloping down from the huge Tibetan plateau, so that three of the four largest rivers in Siberia flow north into the Arctic Ocean and one east into the Pacific Ocean. The Ob, Yenisei and Lena rivers have their outlets in the Arctic Ocean, and these rivers, together with their many tributaries, provide a natural network of communication arteries stretching all the way to the Pacific Ocean, once the Russians cross the Ural Mountains. It doesn't take much moving work to move from one waterway to another.

Historically, the Russians relied on the transportation advantages of these natural rivers to easily conquer Siberia.

Therefore, in order to open the passage to the Chinese seas, Russia did not build a railway directly from the hinterland of Europe to China, but gave priority to the construction of the railway on the Mongolian plateau, where transportation is the most difficult, because Siberia is not an obstacle for Russia, but a smooth road.

But the smooth road of Siberia also has limits, and it cannot be compared with railway traffic after all. Historically, Russia maintained a maximum of 400,000 troops in the northeast before the Trans-Siberian Railway was completed, which was basically a limit, and even under the limit of 400,000 people, Russia's material supply was relatively scarce, and there was no potential for expansion at all.

For the Ming Dynasty, not to mention that Russia dispatched 400,000 troops, they have the ability to dispatch 1 million troops, and the Ming Dynasty can also defeat the Russian army like defeating a million French troops. Because the Ming Dynasty invested two million troops at the peak of Vietnam, but there are still one million reservists in the country who are always ready, so the Ming is fully capable of investing three million troops to fight Russia.

As for the traffic problem, it is not a restriction on the Ming Dynasty, first of all, the sea route is unimpeded, most of the land of the Ming Dynasty is near the sea, you can easily use the sea route, and secondly, the railway line of the Ming Dynasty has been connected with the railway line of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the Jinpu Road and Jinghan Road built by the Manchu Qing Dynasty with the support of the great powers in recent years can be used by the Ming Dynasty to transfer troops to the north. As to whether the Manchus were willing to use their railways for the Ming Dynasty, the British felt that there was no need to take into account the attitude of the Manchus. In the name of helping them against the Russians, believing that they would not dare to resist.

Britain actively negotiated with the Ming Dynasty, saying that once a war broke out between the Ming Dynasty and Russia, the United Kingdom would provide a certain amount of economic assistance, 50 million pounds per year. Of course, this money cannot afford to fight a war with a country like Russia, and fight with France in Vietnam, and the Ming Dynasty spent 300 million pounds in two years, and if it wants to fight the Russians, I am afraid it will not be less than this amount. But after all, war is a matter for the Ming Dynasty, and Britain can give a little is a little.

Britain blockade Russia, economically for the benefit of the Yangtze River, politically to prevent Russia from owning the sea, so as to leapfrog to sea power, Britain could not afford a country of Russia's size, to bring the momentum of land expansion to the sea, so this money is the total cost of economic and political interests.

Historically, Prussia was able to challenge France, Austria, and Russia, all with a population of more than 20 million, as a small country of 5 million, and the three largest countries in Europe at that time relied almost entirely on British aid for military spending. But Da Ming didn't open this mouth, not because he was thin-skinned, but because Zhu Jinglun didn't think that he had just ended the war with France, and he would immediately plunge into the confrontation with another European country.

Zhu Jinglun believed that as long as the Ming Dynasty put on a posture of not hesitating to fight, and then joined forces with Britain to put pressure on Russia, the Russian problem could be resolved peacefully.

But first of all, the Ming Dynasty must take a tough attitude, and even release a strong desire for war, so that anyone can feel that the Ming Dynasty has rushed to the front line of resistance against Russia.
