The Bukhara region is actually located on the banks of the Zerafshan River delta. It is the third largest city in Uzbekistan and one of the oldest cities in Central Asia. It was ruled by Genghis Khan of Mongolia in the early days for 700 years. It was also an important town on the ancient Silk Road.
one.
Li Ningyu had already known that the Tsarist Empire would join the Eight-Power Allied Forces and invade together. At that time, in order to minimize the number of enemies, the Far East adopted a win-win strategy, hoping to advance and retreat with Tsarist Russia in the incident with the Allied Forces, and finally clear up domestic conflicts.
After defeating the enemy, he dealt a fatal blow to Tsarist Russia.
However, I did not expect that the plan would change. As the Far East Army advanced towards the Beijing area, it encountered multiple attacks from the Tsarist Russian Army in the Northeast. In the end, Li Ningyu ordered the killing without hesitation. But from then on, the Far East embarked on a lonely journey.
There was no chance of success, and there were cracks in the original alliance with Tsarist Russia.
At that time, the coalition army troops landing in Tianjin were not scary, because their main force deterrent was not the army, but the more than 80 naval ships staying in the Bohai Bay. Li Ningyu had already had an attack plan for this, and according to the conservative calculation of the plan,
The Far East Navy must dispatch the Yellow Sea Fleet and the Far East Fleet to have the ability to compete with the Allied Fleet.
However, something happened that he never expected: Kaiser Wilhelm II's alliance olive branch.
It was this olive branch that changed the overall situation of the invasion of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, because it is important to know that the warships of various countries in the Bohai Bay mainly rely on the Jiaozhou Peninsula and Luda area to guard the Bohai Bay, which prevents the naval fleets from the Far East from going deep into the Bohai Bay.
The safety of coalition ships has also been guaranteed.
However, the defection of the Germans on the Jiaozhou Peninsula did not kill the coalition group. However, after the Luda area controlled by Tsarist Russia was completely lost, it directly caused the destruction of the coalition ships. However, with the outbreak of the war in the Luda area, the Far East and Tsarist Russia also
Completely torn apart.
In the early days, the Tsarist Empire had already formulated a series of plans to invade and occupy the territory of the late Qing Dynasty. The main methods were divided into two steps. The first was the extension of land. After building the Siberian Railway and the Middle East Railway, Tsarist Russia already had a large-scale plan to expand from land to land.
The ability to invade.
Those two railways with strategic and aggressive significance were approved by the then Tsar Nicholas II in the early 1990s, and the then crown prince, Nicholas III, was sent to Vladivostok in person.
Went to host the groundbreaking ceremony in 1891.
At the ceremony, the young Nicholas III said: "Once these two railways are successfully constructed, the Russian Empire will be able to transport military forces directly to Vladivostok in the shortest possible time, regardless of weather conditions, and at any time.
Concentrated in Manchuria, the coast of the Yellow Sea and the locations closest to the capital of the late Qing Empire!".
In July 1894, with the continuous instigation and secret support of the two major imperialist groups of the United States and Britain, the island nation of Japan suddenly launched an invasion and simultaneously launched an attack on the Beiyang Fleet from the sea. The Japanese Army was also preparing to send an army to land in North Korea in an attempt to
Contain the Far East.
However, the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, which all countries thought would be successful, ended hastily with Japan defeating the late Qing Dynasty and the Far East defeating Japan. The late Qing government was forced to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki, one of which was to cede the Liaodong Peninsula to Japan.
After seeing the content of such an agreement, an uproar broke out within the Tsarist Russian ruling group, because such a treaty was incompatible with Tsarist Russia's plan to invade Northeast China.
In the end, the Tsarist Empire decided that even if it did not hesitate to use force, it would force Japan, an island country, to completely abandon the Liaodong Peninsula. The late Qing government also regarded the Tsarist Empire as its "savior."
In order to exert pressure on Japan, Tsarist Russia, together with Germany and France, intervened. After Japan's defeat, Japan had already consumed 50,000 elite army and naval fleets in the Sino-Japanese War, and was no longer able to fight a new war.
, finally gave up the Liaodong Peninsula under the strong pressure of the three countries, and then Tsarist Russia used the excuse of "helping the late Qing Dynasty and returning Liao Dynasty."
It began to blackmail and extort the late Qing government. In 1896, the late Qing government accepted the coercion of Tsarist Russia and finally signed the "Sino-Russian Secret Treaty". However, shortly after the Sino-Russian Secret Treaty was signed, the Tsarist Russian Asiatic Fleet broke into Luda without permission.
area, and forcibly "leased" Lushun, Dalian and their adjacent sea areas to the late Qing government, and finally occupied the entire Liaodong Peninsula, thus obtaining the coveted ice-free port in the Far East.
It can be said that at the end of the 19th century, Tsarist Russia completed the first step of invading the northeastern region and successfully obtained the fulcrum of land and sea. At that time, the Far East Group had just won the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894 and did not
Take the initiative to stand up and stop it, because Li Ningyu understands that the diplomacy of the great powers is absolute force!
In the century-long period from the late 19th century to the early 20th century, various imperialist countries in the world were frantically competing for colonies, semi-colonies, and areas of influence expansion all over the world, and they all wanted to take over what had already been divided up.
All parts of the world were being re-divided again, and the late Qing government in Asia was one of the main targets of plunder by various powers.
During this period, Britain and the United States planned to use Japan to contain the Far East and Tsarist Russia, and to obtain interests on their behalf in the late Qing Dynasty; France's main goal was to expand in South Asia, attempting to connect the Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan regions with the South Asia region that France already fully controlled.
, and acquire Guangzhou Bay; Germany also plans to expand in the Jiaozhou Peninsula area.
Tsarist Russia is the northeastern region. It is the ultimate plan to annex the entire northeastern region, but it needs to find a year-round ice-free port in the coastal area. Nicholas III, who was still young at the time, once openly declared: "The Tsarist Russian Empire must have
A maritime port with unobstructed access all year round, and this port must be connected to the occupied territorial zone.”
Far East is the actual controller of North Korea. This is known to all countries in the world. After the Sino-Japanese War, various countries secretly reached a tacit understanding in an attempt to comprehensively restrict the development of Far East. However, they did not know that Far East had already made this preparation. However,
During that era without allies, Li Ningyu learned to be lonely and to provoke the future of the entire Far East on his own.
After the end of the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894, after obtaining Taiwan Island and huge war reparations, the Far East entered the first era of closed doors. Without any help, the Far East moved into obscurity. This is also a situation that the major powers want to see. After all,
In the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1894, the Far East stood out.
