Chapter 406: Manchu Countercurrent I
In the 60 years of the Han Dynasty, even though the Americas were in ruins, the population was barren, the European continent was warned, and there were many corpses, but for Asian countries, the impact was not great, especially for the Manchu Empire, which was a lot quieter!
The Manchu Empire, which has been forbidden to the sea for nearly a hundred years, is very closed to sources from the outside world, and the big figures of the Manchu Empire above have no interest in how the outside world fights!
The vast land and abundant resources, proud of the sea and abroad, is the concept of the upper class of the Manchu Empire at this time, especially when the Qianlong Emperor personally exterminated hundreds of Russian pioneers who dared to invade the territory, it raised this prestige to the top!
After experiencing the campaign of Emperor Kangxi to remove Aobai, manage the government, force against Wu Sangui, personally conquer and destroy Sanfan, and recover Taiwan, Emperor Qianlong, who has always regarded his grandfather as an idol, even aimed at the target after ascending the throne and planned to start a war......
It's a pity that there are not many people who dare to disobey the behemoth of the Manchu Empire, and the Qianlong Emperor, who has just ascended the throne, just took the Ningxia Huihui, who didn't like discipline, and slaughtered a group of Huihui cottages just for the sake of water, as a reasonable feat......
Of course, the history books will never record the massacre, only that in a certain year of Qianlong, a certain cottage in Ningxia rebelled, and then was completely suppressed by the wise and martial Emperor Qianlong......
When Emperor Qianlong suppressed Huihui, he wanted to play the game of imperial conquest, so there was a battle to beat hundreds of Russian pioneers on the northeastern border......
Not to mention, the Qianlong Emperor's series of 'great achievements', and the Manchu Empire's easy deployment of hundreds of thousands of people to fight the strong style, really frightened the surrounding small countries, originally not very convinced Geerdan, after the Qianlong Emperor with more than 100,000 people to drive the expedition in person, immediately sent a messenger to kneel and lick the boots of the Qianlong Lord, for fear that this restless lord would be lonely and bored, and with an army of more than 100,000 troops to expedition Geerdan, in that case, he would have no place to cry......
Geldan was not afraid that the Qianlong Emperor led more than 100,000 people to win the battle against hundreds of wastelanders, but that the Manchu Empire used hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of thousands of regular troops to drive to the remote, cold and uninhabited northeast border in such a short period of time!
Coupled with the Manchu Empire's million-dollar active army, who is not afraid?
Even the Kingdom of Dayue, which had just gained independence from French Indochina, did not dare to covet the territory of the Manchu Empire after inheriting the French colonists' line-up shooting tactics and flintlock technique. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As for the reason for the independence of the weak Dayue Kingdom from the French, it was naturally because the European War had reduced the French's colonial control over the world to a negative value!
During the European War, the British army in India supported an independent national uprising in the French Southeast Asian colonies, and the army marched into the French colonies to annex the French colonies, and by the 60th year of the Han Dynasty, the French Southeast Asian colonies had all fallen!
In addition to the British annexation and expansion of British Burma, Thailand, which was controlled by the French, began to cling to the thighs of the British, and the east of Thailand became an independent kingdom of mixed ethnic groups!
To the south of Thailand is British Malaysia, which was annexed by the British!
The famous Strait of Malacca was completely reduced to the money bag of the British, and the governor of the Dutch East Indies, under the threat of British naval guns, announced that he would break away from the control of the Netherlands proper, which was allied with the French, and established an ostensibly independent Indonesian state, but in fact the Indonesian government was the dog leg of the British!
Not only that, Indonesia, the so-called independent country, all the high-level people are all white, the king of the Kingdom of Indonesia is the governor of the Netherlands, and most of the ministers below are also the children of the nobles from the Netherlands!
Even the army is made up of Dutch, and the Indonesian natives are only responsible for some security issues......
In addition to the Dutch colonies in Southeast Asia being controlled by the British, the Spanish Philippine Islands were also completely out of the control of the Spaniards!
However, the Spanish Philippine Islands did not become as independent as Indonesia, and still barely maintained the identity of a Spanish colony!
Because of Zhao Dutian's intervention, the British couldn't let go of their hands and feet to swallow this colony!
The Spanish Philippines is equivalent to the border between the British and the Han Empire dividing their spheres of influence, the army of the Han Empire will not land in the Spanish Philippines, and the British army will not land on the Philippine Islands!
The Spanish governor of the Spanish Philippine Islands was like an air bug all day long, going back and forth between the diplomatic ambassadors of the Han Empire and the diplomatic ambassadors of the English Empire, serving the two emperors carefully......
Naturally, such a low-status Governor General naturally does not have too strong forces in the Spanish Philippine Islands, and the Philippine colonial army, which has no fighting spirit, let alone resists the British army and the Han army, even suppresses the local natives is powerless!
Because the Spaniards don't want to fight anymore!
If it weren't for the way home being cut off by the British, and the Han Empire and the English Empire needed these Spaniards to look at the Philippine Islands for the time being, and wait for Europe to divide the victory and defeat before moving the knife and fork, I'm afraid the Philippine Islands would have been in war a long time ago!
I have to say that the biggest beneficiary of the European War, in addition to Zhao Dutian, is the British Empire!
The revolution of the destruction of the European continental powers put the colonies of the European powers overseas in a state of dissociation, so that the British could easily let go of their hands and feet to wantonly embezzle and cause chaos!
However, when the Manchu Empire was as stable as a mountain, the world was peaceful, and Qianlong's martial arts were at their peak, there was an undercurrent surging within the entire Manchu Empire!
Even the political center of the Manchu Empire, the city of Beijing, had discordant voices in private!
"Hey, man, have you heard, the main altar of the Heaven and Earth Association in Guangzhou has changed its owner!"
A chatty businessman in the Beijing City Teahouse boasted about what he had seen and heard with a smug face!
Sure enough, the wine and meat friend next to him suddenly became interested!
"Hey~ Heaven and Earth will be a group of loose robbers, isn't it common to change masters?"
The merchant is waiting for the other party's words, only in this way can he continue to brag!
The coolest thing about bragging is that you can say things that ordinary people don't know!
"Man, you are lonely and unheard, don't look at Qianlong's world, but the water below is mixed!
Today's Heaven and Earth Association is very different from the original Heaven and Earth Society that would only shout empty shouts against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty! ”
