The Sun Never Sets in the East When Great Powers Rise

The article contains a large amount of descriptive data, historical facts and various explanations. . I was very tired from reading it, because I came to read novels, not popular science books. . I often forget about it after watching it. It doesn't really help the plot, but it just feels like too much nonsense.

It's very simple. As long as Napoleon goes to war with Russia, China will have time to clean up the northwest, and Russia will have no energy to intervene in the war in northwest China. Moreover, during the Russo-French War, China's industrial exports could also be increased through foreign trade, just like the United States did during World War I. However, Russia did not have the cash to open a Lend-Lease bill similar to the United States. Let Russia trade Siberian lands, especially Lake Baikal.

If I had to pick a fault, it would be that 2 million people traveling long distances feels a bit ridiculous.

In China's five thousand years of history, dynasties have been changing constantly. China's ancestors have always been cautious and careful in choosing the country's name for the establishment of a new country, believing in the theory that the country's name is destiny. Just like among all Chinese dynasties, only the Zhou Dynasty lasted the longest, with the Eastern and Western Zhou Dynasties combined lasting for 800 years. ? But the great Zhou Dynasty of eight hundred years seemed to have exhausted all the luck of the country named Zhou, so that all the countries in later generations that used the name Zhou as their country changed very quickly. Especially a country built with Zhou as its name during troubled times. The Northern Zhou Dynasty during the period of the Sixteen Kingdoms and the Southern and Northern Dynasties established a country in an environment of hardship, weakness, hardship, strong enemies, and the threat of destruction at any time. Surrounded by tigers and wolves, the country has been at war since its inception. Until the third emperor of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, Yuwen Yong, came to the throne. With Yuwen Yong's outstanding talents, he purified the court in domestic affairs, strengthened his troops in foreign affairs, and sent troops to Jiuzhou. After more than ten years of hard work, the great cause of unifying the world was already within his grasp. ? However, at this time, the Turks in the north were in rebellion, and Yu Wenyong led his army to northern Xinjiang to fight against the Huru. However, something unexpected happened. Just when this great cause was about to be accomplished, he suddenly fell seriously ill and died young. The Northern Expedition had to be abandoned. Then, the Northern Zhou Dynasty was usurped by the powerful minister Yang Jian, and the Great Zhou Dynasty that the Yuwen family worked so hard to conquer fell... Coincidentally, during the troubled Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, another country chose Zhou as its national title. This is the situation that Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, worked hard to open up. After Guo Wei's death, his adopted son Chai Rong succeeded to the throne. Chai Rong fought against the Northern Han Dynasty and conquered the Southern Tang Dynasty. He saw that the world would be unified. When China was about to be unified in the following Zhou Dynasty, Chai Rong died. ? The youngest son Chai Zongxun ascended the throne, but the result was that the new emperor was young and his mother was weak. Then, as everyone knows, Zhao Kuangyin led his army to mutiny in Chenqiaoyi, 20 kilometers northeast of Bianliang, the capital, under the pretense of war in the north. The soldiers proclaimed Zhao Kuangyin emperor early the next morning, which was known as the "Chenqiao Mutiny" in history. The next week, sudden... In addition to these two Zhou countries, Tang Zhou, which also had Wu Meiniang, was returned to the Tang Dynasty in just one generation. At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhang Shicheng, the hero of the uprising, also gave the founding title to the Zhou Dynasty. However, the country became strong and the people were prosperous, but he was eventually killed by Zhu Yuanzhang. Wu Sangui, who opened the door of the Ming Dynasty and let in the Qing Dynasty, was also named Zhou during the subsequent rebellion. Then Wu Sangui was destroyed by Kangxi, and Sangui Zhou died! ? To sum up, except for the Zhou Dynasty that lasted for 800 years two thousand years ago, it seems that the countries with Zhou as their country name in later generations were extremely short-lived. There seems to be some truth in the theory of national luck. Many people say that the eight hundred years of the Zhou Dynasty exhausted the power of the later Zhou dynasties, which resulted in the subsequent dynasties with Zhou as their country name losing power. But who knows?

At that time, Western countries were busy forming anti-French alliances. Countries are so poor that they have no intention or strength to care about China. Moreover, Russia, a poor country, does not have the ability or financial resources to deploy an army of more than 10,000 people in China, thousands of miles away. Even during the Opium War, Britain could only transport a few thousand people to the coast by sea. In the end, based on the transportation conditions at the time, the Qing Dynasty's request for help, Russia's dispatch of troops, and the arrival of the Russian army were enough to completely eliminate the Qing government.

Good, good, good, good, good, good, good, good

Looking forward to your new book. I hope there is an unlimited stream, it is best not to be controlled by the system.

Whether the Russians are Tsarist Russia or the Red Soviet Union, they can be defeated in a frontal war, but they will not be allowed to surrender. Tsarist Russia perished due to internal revolution, while the Red Soviet Union perished due to internal disintegration. So the only way to deal with such a huge polar bear is to eliminate it from within. Although the Russians are very greedy for land, whether it was the Crimean War or the Russo-Japanese War, Russia did not cede an inch of land. If you want to expand to Siberia in the future, you can actually buy land. For example, the United States purchased Alaska.

Somewhat underestimated, but still praised. In the first battle, there were few soldiers and many auxiliary soldiers. The second time there are more troops, why don't we send auxiliary troops? Who is responsible for the logistics support, and who is responsible for transporting the ammunition and baggage. Even if the defense line is reduced, it cannot be directly put into the decisive battle under Zhangjiakou City. It is necessary to resist layer by layer and shrink step by step, otherwise the enemy will march straight in and reach the gate of Zhangjiakou without any losses, which will not have the effect of weakening the enemy at all. And the enemy has hundreds of thousands of coalition troops. Can your soldiers of less than 100,000 only deal with 20,000 Russian troops? Don't forget that Li Zicheng only led a few elite soldiers to Shanhaiguan. What was the result? Auxiliary troops can not only maintain good food routes, but also help transport artillery and ammunition. It can also consume enemy troops at critical moments. Only when the elite troops recharge their batteries can they wait for work.

I saw it, about twenty chapters. There is a question that deeply bothers me. If you spend 5 silver coins a day to raise a soldier, are you sure it's not 5 copper coins? At this price, an empire cannot last long before the treasury is depleted.
