Have you ever seen the territory map of the Qing Dynasty? The territory map of the Qing Dynasty is much larger than that of our current territory, and the reason why our territory has been "shrunk" in a large area can be said to be indispensable, and he is our northern neighbor, Tsarist Russia.
After the outbreak of the Opium War, the astute Tsarist government found that China, which was once on par with its own strength, had become very weak, and after a period of contact, the Tsarist government was ready to begin to encroach on China's territory step by step. Since the signing of the Treaty of Yaohun with the Qing Dynasty in 1958, China's territory has been occupied by Tsarist Russia for more than 1.6 million square kilometers.
However, in addition to encroaching on land, Tsarist Russia was also bent on making one place independent, that is, Outer Mongolia. However, Tsarist Russia's ambitions had just begun, and after the establishment of the Republic of China, Xu Shuzheng led his troops to Outer Mongolia to block the pace of Tsarist aggression.
Unfortunately, after the establishment of the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union still paid great attention to the independence of Outer Mongolia, and they began to constantly contact the government of the Republic of China, so that Outer Mongolia gradually separated from China and became a Mongolian Republic.
After the establishment of the Mongolian Republic, it entered a long period of "honeymoon" with the Soviet Union. But during this "honeymoon period", the Mongolian prime minister slapped Stalin in a cocktail party, and even threw Stalin's pipe to the ground after the fan. Who is he? Why do you have the guts? What is the end?
Gradually gained the attention of the Soviet Union
The Mongolian prime minister, named Bolejid, joined the local League of Revolutionary Youth in Mongolia as a young man, and became a local leader in his second year because of his outstanding performance in the league.
Later, when Bolejid attended the first national conference after the establishment of Mongolia, because of his personality, he stood up in public to accuse the country of the problems that have now developed, and mercilessly rebuked some corrupt elements attending the meeting.
Such a move soon caught the attention of then-Mongolian Prime Minister Barin, who met privately with Bolejid after the meeting. After the conversation, Bahrain had a great affection for the young man, and soon after he made him the head of the presidium of the little Hural.
Appreciated by Bahrain, Bolejid soon joined the daily governance of the country, and because of Bolejid's frank character and Bahrain's love, Bolejid's official position became higher and higher. Eventually, in 1928, Bolejid became secretary of the Central Committee, and after serving as secretary, Bolejid began to pursue communist economic policies in Mongolia.
At this time, Bolejid had no scruples in implementing his policies, first canceling and acquiring private enterprises in the country at a very low price, and also sending troops and local police to destroy temples and monastery property throughout the country.
This use of violence to promote reform quickly triggered the dissatisfaction of the domestic people, who began to experience a cliff-like decline in domestic support, and many provinces even directly broke out into uprisings.
Naturally, unrest in Mongolia was intolerable to the Soviet Union, and they began to send investigation teams to Mongolia to investigate the "left-leaning" mistakes of the Mongolian top brass, and many senior Mongolian officials were purged in this investigation, but only Bolejid survived.
Originally, as one of the main initiators of this incident, Bolejid can be said to be doomed. But for some reason, Boleguid gained Stalin's trust and turned him into a disaster. Even taking advantage of Stalin's trust, Bolejid was appointed Prime Minister of Mongolia by the Soviet Union.
Clashes break out at the wine table
After becoming prime minister, Boleguid began to change his previous "left-leaning" policies, ordering tax breaks to appease the people, encouraging the normal operation of private enterprises, and promising the public that he would no longer interfere in all religious activities. Naturally, such remedies were very satisfactory to the people, and Mongolia's economy began to gradually improve.
As Boleguid's support at home grew, So did Boleguid, arguing that Mongolia's relations with the Soviet Union should become equal, not superior-subordinate.
Such continuous attempts led to many contradictions between Mongolia and the Soviet Union, and the Soviet Union did not want to show weakness after discovering that Mongolia was disobedient, and executed more than fifty high-ranking Mongolian officials under various pretexts. Bolejid also fought back, first delaying the signing of the two bilateral agreements, and then beginning to use Japan to provoke the Soviet Union and gain more benefits for Mongolia.
Relations between the two countries gradually deteriorated, and in 1935 Boleguid made a visit to the Soviet Union. During this visit, the conflict between Boleguid and Stalin erupted at a wine table.
The banquet was held at the Mongolian Embassy in the Soviet Union, which invited Stalin to attend in order to welcome the reception banquet held by The Mongolian Embassy in Bolejid.
Originally, at the beginning of the banquet, the two sides were still in friendly talks, but after three rounds of wine and five tastes, Bolejid's speech became more and more rude, and his behavior began to be arrogant.
When Bolejid remembered the actions of the Soviet Union in Mongolia, a wave of anger rose in his heart. He said to Stalin: "You are a butcher who kills people without blinking, you want to be not only the tsar of the Soviet Union, but also the ruler of Mongolia." I tell you that your plot will not succeed, and I have contacted Japan to see what you will do after a while. ”
After returning to China, he was liquidated
Boleguid's words stunned many of the participants, including Stalin, who did not expect Boleguid to say such a thing. Stalin also smoked a cigarette with his pipe without a word, wanting to see if Boleguid could exert any other abilities.
Boregid did not live up to expectations, he stood up and slapped Stalin twice. In a daze, Boleguid snatched the pipe from Stalin's hand and threw it directly to the ground.
Seeing that the scene was gradually out of control, and everyone did not know what to do, Stalin suppressed his anger at this time, smiled and said: "Bolejid is drinking too much, help him to the room to rest." After saying this, Stalin left the banquet without looking back.
After Boleguid woke up, he also learned of his drunken gaffe from the people around him, but at this time he did not realize the importance of the matter, until the Soviet staff announced the cancellation of the scheduled meeting, Boleguid realized that Stalin may really be angry.
When Bolejid slipped back to Mongolia, he found that an even greater catastrophe awaited him. Under the covert command of the Soviets, Boleguid was placed under house arrest and sentenced to death for treason and other charges after a year of detention.
brief summary:
The saddest thing about a country is not how much of its own territory has been taken away by other powers, but the poor obedience of the government of that country to the command of other countries, so can this country still have a chance if it wants to be strong?
