"The ocean covers 70 percent of the earth's oceans and the land covers only 30 percent, and it was only after the great geographical discoveries of the late 15th and early 16th centuries that the world was truly connected.The formation of European civilization is closely related to the invasion of nomads from the heartland, and the invasion from these nomads is powered by horses and camels, while European civilization uses the mobility of ships to gradually prosper, and the nomadic power from Central Asia gradually retreats.In this era, the military reform and economic development based on the railway are extremely rapid, and the railway, as the modern mobility of the continent, will replace the horse and camel and become the driving force to control the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, and the economy of the railway will gradually increase the development of the interior, and the place where the core of the mobility will be the hinterland of the Eurasian continent, and this place is the heartland.Tsarist Russia's pursuit of hegemony on the Eurasian continent has already posed a powerful challenge to Britain's strategy of balancing power on the European continent, and its use of the resources in the heartland to tirelessly develop its navy, with the intention of developing sea power while developing land power, is a deadly threat to Britain.And our Central Asian provinces are pressed in the middle by these two powers. ”Gege also came to join in the fun.Jiegege originally didn't like to talk about these topics of the international pattern, but seeing Zeng Siping's 13 little girl, she seemed to understand very well, and although Zeng Siping was not married to Huahuang, her status was only above her, so she also had a little competitiveness.President Meng listened to Jiegege's dispensable conclusion, smiled, and did not answer.Zeng Siping then asked: "Then the Central Asia Province is so important to our country, Your Majesty will quickly use the railway to connect the entire Central Asia Province."
Build our own military base. ”Burst.Hua Huang couldn't help but laugh, "Don't you think about me, we don't have enough strength now." ”Zeng Siping sighed, "Then, how can we do it?"
"It takes a lot of manpower and material resources to build a railway, and we can only build roads in Central Asia at present, and China's military force must cross the Pamir Plateau, get out of the Ili River Valley, and find a foothold, so as to quickly project power around Central Asia and effectively escort the economy. ”Zeng Siping's face turned red, and he said: "I was too careless, when Your Majesty sent Ekaterina Klimova back to Central Asia Province a few days ago, I also mentioned it, I forgot." ”Catherine's beautiful eyes narrowed, "You are still called careless, a 13-year-old girl, thinking about so many things all day long. ”Zeng Siping said coquettishly: "Aunt Catherine." ”Because Zeng Siping, President Meng, and Sophia have known each other since childhood, Zeng Siping and Catherine are also very familiar.Catherine said with a smile: "Our family Sophia will not care about the headache of the international situation that these adults think, you have grown up, it seems that you can take over your father's official and serve in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China." ”"Well, that's what my dream is, to grow up to be a diplomat like my father."
Zeng Siping admitted with a serious face.President Meng praised Zeng Siping's ideal, "Whether it is political, military, or even economic and cultural, the Qing court's "control" over Central Asia is not very strong.Eastern Xinjiang: Hami, Turpan and Balikun in the north and south of the East Tianshan Mountains.This area is a nomadic area to the north of the East Tianshan Mountains, and Hami and Turpan to the south of the East Tianshan Mountains are agricultural areas.Northern Xinjiang: The area north of the Tianshan Mountains is basically nomadic.Southern Xinjiang: The area south of the Tianshan Mountains is basically dominated by oasis agriculture.The Tang and Qing dynasties ruled the Western Regions, and the areas governed by liuguan; There are garrisons, and the civil administration is basically governed by local officials, but the imperial court has a considerable degree of participation in its civil affairs and legal affairs; Civil affairs and legal affairs are basically managed by the local officials, the succession of the local officials needs to be certified by the imperial court, and the affairs between the local officials and the local officials are mediated by the imperial court, and their disputes and annexations are greatly restricted; Only to the areas where the imperial court is nominally a vassal.After the Han Dynasty, all of them began to enter the footsteps of the Western Regions from here.Before the Qing Dynasty began to point to the quasi-ministry of Moxi, it first accepted the annexation of the Hami Hui King during the Kangxi period.When the rule was stabilized, the Tang Dynasty set up Yizhou and Xizhou here, and the Qing Dynasty set up the Counselor's Minister's District parallel to the Hami and Turpan Hui kings here before Xinjiang was changed to the river, and there were Zhenxi Mansion subordinate to Gansu and Zhendidao under the political envoy of Gansu and Urumqi at the same time, and the county hall under its rule.After the Qing court changed the land and returned to the Qing court, except for a few areas, such as the Hami area, which had been attached to the Qing court for generations and was very sensitive, they all entered the level of liuguan governance.The second is Northern Xinjiang: this is mainly a nomadic area of the steppe, the core area of the Western Turks before the Tang army entered, and the hinterland of the Zhun Department before the Qing army entered. ”Princess Katrina Kafu continued Emperor Hua's words: "After the middle of the Qianlong period, the Qing court was able to effectively rule the northern Xinjiang mainly by relying on the alliance flag system.The Mongols were loyal to the Qing court for a long time.A few years ago, in the hands of the Qing court.Agriculture is mainly in southern Xinjiang, and the Qing Dynasty had a farming entanglement in northern Xinjiang as early as the reign of the Dzungar Khanate, that is, "Talanqi".After the Qing court conquered the Western Regions, it is estimated that the number of Manchu, Han, Hui, Xi and other soldiers and civilians of various ethnic groups who moved into various parts of the Western Regions for reclamation is estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands.After Xinjiang was established as a province, a large number of Han Chinese entered northern Xinjiang, which greatly developed agriculture here.The Outer Northwest, which was later seized by the Russians, was partly a part of the Mongol pastures, and the Qing court's rule over it is described in the League Flag System above.There is also a part of the pastures of Kazakh and Kyrgyz Brut.Among them, the Kazakhs were squeezed south by the Dzungar Khanate during the period and finally submitted.After the Qing court destroyed the Zhun Ministry, because they wanted to digest the Western Regions, the Kazakhs basically only needed to be vassals, and they were allowed to have frequent border trade in Ili, Tacheng and other places, which was basically the treatment of the Qing court's vassals.Later, after the Qing Dynasty slaughtered the Zhun Min, the grasslands of northern Xinjiang were vacated, and the Kazakhs began to enter the northern Xinjiang nomadic herding continuously.At first, the Qing court allowed it, and also compiled a Kazakh into a leader.However, later the soil department returned to the east and filled the northern Xinjiang pastures.And there were also some clashes with the Kazakhs.Therefore, the Qing court did not allow the Kazakhs to enter the northern Xinjiang steppe again in the 44th year of Qianlong, and set up a karon in the northern Xinjiang, only allowing Kazakh herdsmen to come to nomadic herding in winter, and taxes were sufficient, but internal service was not allowed.After the Russians got into the area south of Lake Balkesh, they redrew the border of northwestern Xinjiang.The part of the Kazakhs that were originally classified as the leaders moved inward, and the rest ended their vassal relations with the Qing court.So after the Russians re-demarcated, most of the Bruts belonged to Russia.A small number migrated eastward and became today's Kirgiz.After the Qing army destroyed Galdan, the Tangnu-Ulianghai region was subjugated one after another, and at first they were under the rule of the Khalkha Mongol Zasaktu Khan.Later, after the rebellion of the Qing Gunzabu, the Qing court incorporated this part of the Mongols into the inner Mongolian region under the rule of the liuguan.After the Tongzhi year, the Russians slowly encroached on it. ”Zeng Siping listened with great interest to Princess Katrina Kaf's overview of the historical entanglements between Central Asian Province and Huaguo, and Tsarist Russia, and sighed, "The princess knows a lot.It is more detailed than what is said in the history books of Huaguo. ”President Meng smiled: "Now if I want to know the history of Huaguo, I have to ask Princess Katrina Kaf." ”Princess Katrina Kaf's face flushed, "Your Majesty will make fun of me again, I won't say it next time."
There are two difficulties in building Central Asia Province now: First, the people who have arrived in Central Asia Province have only just passed, and they are still in the process of adapting to the environment.Second, Xinjiang's economy is too backward, and if Central Asia Province is near the Zhili region or near Jiangnan, it will actually be easy to control Central Asia Province. ”President Meng smiled: "If the whole country of China is as developed as Jiangnan, I can do nothing now and sleep a lot every day." ”t1706231537:
