Chapter 761: The Central Asian Storm

During the period when the Democratic Alliance forces were killing in Burma, Central Asia was also turbulent and the situation changed abruptly.

In the past, the Russian army had only tens of thousands of people in Central Asia, and the combination of force and secretly stirring up the wind and rain was not in a hurry and slowly devoured Central Asia, but because Wang Feng beheaded 8,000 Russian prisoners in public on the day of the founding of the People's Republic of China, he angered Russia and launched a general mobilization order for war, and within half a year, he gathered 150,000 regular troops and 350,000 serf troops to launch an attack from the Caucasus to Central Asia.

Between 1826 and 1828, Russia defeated Iran and forced Iran to cede almost all of Georgia, North Azerbaijan, and Eastern Armenia, followed by a war against Ottoman Turkey, annexing the entire Black Sea coast of the Caucasus in the autumn of the following year, and forcing Turkey to recognize the South Caucasus that Russia had annexed from Iran.

In fact, throughout the history of Russia's expansion, it has always maintained a speed that is not in a hurry, for hundreds of years, doing what it can, tenacious and patient, not only absorbing advanced technology and culture, but also paying attention to its own cultural output, it can be said that this is a very steady expansion policy, slow is a little slow, but the foundation is solid, and the land occupied by Russia can rarely slip out of his mouth.

If possible, Wang Feng is also willing to adopt this expansion policy, step by step, and do not need to kill too many people, but his own family knows that the expansion of the Chinese is not strong, the history of expansion of 5,000 years is not comparable to the four hundred years of Russia, and the result of steady progress is likely to be after Wang Feng's death, China will take the initiative to stop expansion, which is equivalent to losing the enterprising spirit in the era of the great powers competing for hegemony, and will gradually decline, so Wang Feng has to use radical means.

Expand as much as possible during his lifetime. and either slaughtered, or driven out the natives. Because assimilation with culture is not always successful, such as Vietnam. Has it been assimilated to accept that Chinese civilization has a history of more than 1,000 years?

Another example is Japan, which completely imitated the founding of the Sui and Tang dynasties and took the initiative to absorb Chinese civilization, but what is the result?

And some races in the west, who are naturally rejected and assimilated into the Han civilization? Don't dream, people will assimilate you in turn, and many Han people over there have been assimilated!

In light of this. Wang Feng can only adopt the bloody policy of vacating cages for birds, I can't assimilate you, and I don't have the patience to assimilate you, then, I can only eliminate you.

China is taking a radical path, first eating and then digesting slowly, while Russia digests while eating.

In Central Asia, for example, Russia has long had a well-developed invasion plan. In 1847, the Russians invaded the south along the Egus, and secretly established the city of Kopal between the Lebush and Kukwusu rivers in China, southeast of Lake Balkhash, four years later. Taking advantage of the internal and external difficulties of the Qing court and the chaos in the Altai Mountains, Russia invaded the areas of the Charesh, Katon, and Biya rivers in the upper reaches of the Ob River. And gradually advance to the Altai hinterland and the upper reaches of the Irtysh River, with the intention of taking China's inner lake Zaisangbo as its own. but was thwarted by the Qing court.

But in 1852, the Russians established the Urzar migrant village in the Yar region, north of Tugul Lake in China (present-day Alahu, Kazakhstan). Two years later, it occupied Gurban Alimatu (present-day Almaty) between the Chu and Ili rivers at the northern foot of the Tien Shan Mountains, and established the Vilne Castle near Gurban Alimatu.

In October of the same year, Russia included Kopal Fort and Vilneburg into the newly established Semipalatinsk Province under the Viceroyalty of Western Siberia, arbitrarily included the area east and south of Lake Balkhash in China into Russia's territory, and continued to expand its influence eastward to the area around Issyk-Kul Lake.

From the above, it can be seen that Russia's strategic goal is to first unite the Khivan and Buhra Khanates, gradually encroach on the Kokand Khanate, and then turn back and form a strategic encirclement of the Khiva Khanate and the Bukhara Khanate with the Caucasian garrison, and defeat them in a battle.

However, due to the success of China in provoking Russia, under the strong retaliation**, Russia did not hurry to slowly annex Central Asia, but instead adopted a radical expansionist policy, that is, the first target was the Khiva Khanate, that is, Khorizm.

The Khiva Khanate was next to the Caucasus, and in just twenty days, the Russian army besieged the capital Khiva, Muhammad Khan opened the city and surrendered, the Khiva Khanate perished, and then the army released the Khalakhanate again, a month later, Kersamarkand, and after another ten days, the army besieged the capital Bukhara, King Bahadur surrendered, and the Bukhara Khanate perished.

The Russian army destroyed the two countries in a row, India and Iran were shaken, but Russia did not rush to march, but rested on the spot for two months, two months later, that is, in early October, it took 60,000 Khiva servant troops and 40,000 Bukhara servant troops to march into Kokand, half a month later, captured Tashkent, the largest city in Central Asia, Yamato Zhuo's great-grandson Busuluk and Aguba led the troops to flee to Xinjiang, China, and after another ten days, Kokand Khan Mara dedicated the city of Kokand to surrender, and Kokand destroyed the country.

On the basis of the three Central Asian countries, Russia established the Governorate of Turkestan with Tashkent as the center, appointed the Minister of War and the Chief of Staff, served as the Governor-General of Russian-occupied Poland, and Kaufman, known as the Semi-Tsar, served as the Governor-General.

In less than half a year, the three countries were wiped out in a row, and why Russia was able to advance so quickly, of course, there are reasons why Russia has been operating in Central Asia for a long time and is familiar with the terrain, but more importantly, there are two aspects, the first is to take advantage of the intricate ethnic contradictions in Central Asia, you must know that there are more than 100 large and small ethnic groups in Central Asia, and there is a history of attacking and killing each other for thousands of years.

On the other hand, the Central Asian army is too backward, the Russian army in the Crimean War, realized the power of the Mini gun, and began to equip the Mini gun, the artillery has gradually improved, and the three Central Asian countries are still in the era of mounted archery, the main weapons are bows, arrows, spears, broadswords, firearms, flintlock muskets are more backward shotguns, often a thousand Russian troops can easily defeat ten times their own Central Asian army, and the Russian army that invaded Central Asia has 500,000, but the total population of the three Central Asian countries is less than 5 million.

On the same day that the last British men had evacuated, several strange Oriental faces came from outside the newly built Governor's Palace in Tashkent, knocked on the door and asked to see Kaufman, and the guards, after asking them about the situation, told them to wait.

"Your Excellency the Governor, there is a Chinese named Bai Huyan who has something important to see." Soon, one of the guards found Kaufman and saluted and reported.

Kaufman was standing on the rooftop and looking out over the city, and he understood his mission, which was to unite the Central Asian forces under the leadership of Russia, and gain a firm foothold in China's Xinjiang under the leadership of Russia, and then launch a retaliatory action against China.

'Chinese, there are some people you can't afford to mess with! A hint of cruelty appeared at the corner of Kaufman's mouth, and then he asked, "What are the Chinese doing when they come to see me?" Don't you know that China is Russia's enemy? ”

A secretary persuaded: "Your Excellency, see you, the Chinese must have something important to do when they come, if they dare to trick you, will they be shot and killed?" ”

"Hmm~~" Kaufman nodded: "Okay, bring him over." ”

"Yes!" The guards turned and left. (To be continued.) )
