What is history: it is the echo of the past to the future, the reflection of the future on the past. - Hugo
Since ancient times, China is a big energy country, because there are too many Chinese citizens, energy consumption is also very fast, energy has become more and more scarce, in the energy market is also very passive. When it comes to energy, I have to say that if China did not cede this land to this country, it would not fall into a passive situation in the energy market.
This land is Siberia, Siberia is now Russian territory, Siberia has many names, there is a name called Xianbeilia, in history belongs to china's Xianbei ethnic group.
The Xianbei people have shined in history, produced many historical celebrities, and won the ruling power many times. The Xianbei aristolic peoples who rose from ancient Siberia and the Mongolian plateau were the ones that had the greatest influence on the Han Chinese. Xianbei people are eager to learn and learn Han cultural etiquette to strengthen themselves.
In 386, tuoba jue of the Xianbei tribe established the Northern Wei dynasty and integrated the Han chinese little by little. The first to be active in Siberia were the Xianbei people.
The earliest Dynasty in China to rule Siberia was the Tang Dynasty; the Yuan Dynasty ruled Siberia the largest, and most of present-day Siberia was once under the jurisdiction of the Yuan Dynasty; the Ming Dynasty ruled even more, from Sakhalin Island to waixing'anLing, from the Sea of Japan to the Ussuri River Basin, which belonged to the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty set up the Nuer Gandu Division administrative agency.
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Tsarist Russia had expanded, and in just seventy years, Tsarist Russia had expanded to the Ural Mountains to the Pacific Ocean, and there was also a territorial conflict between China and Russia at this time. At that time, Manchuria was in the heyday of power, and Manchu and Russia often fought wars.
The war lasted until the Kangxi period, and then the Kangxi Emperor waved a big hand, and the two countries signed the Treaty of Nebuchu, which originally belonged to Siberia under Chinese rule, and "sent" to Russia, and Siberia has been ruled by Russia ever since.
In two hundred years, Tsarist Russia has grown from a small country in Eastern Europe to a large territorial power, with an area that has soared four hundred times, but what about our country?
Readers may have a big question, it seems that China has not officially ruled Siberia! Even if Siberia was officially ruled during the Yuan and Ming dynasties, during the Qing Dynasty, strictly speaking, Siberia did not belong to the Qing Dynasty, and the vague concept of territory, who did Siberia belong to?
China, which has a weak sense of territory, especially in some more remote areas, is basically laissez-faire. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, during the Opium War, the British clamored to occupy Hong Kong Island, and the Qing Dynasty said very strongly that "no land will be allowed." But at that time, where did hong Kong know?
The British army asked the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty to give up Hong Kong, and the Emperor did not even know where Hong Kong was! Almost no one in the entire court knew.
If we look back at history, we can also say why Siberia belonged to the rule of the Tang Dynasty, after the Ming and Qing dynasties, Siberia finally no longer belonged to China! It is better to say that it was plundered by other countries than that we "gave" it to them, because in the eyes of contemporary people, Siberia is an extremely desolate region, and then outsiders have issued a huge "treasure" in Siberia with inexhaustible resources.
Crops are almost impossible to survive in Siberia
If you want to rule a region stably for a long time, you must relocate the people and let the people take care of their own homes.
Subtropical crops such as food, rice and wheat are all dependent on our survival. In sub-zero Siberia, crops are largely unable to survive, and farmers simply do not want to migrate.
The Russian environment has always been very harsh, even Moscow is very cold, so no matter how harsh the environment can not stop the pace of Russian aggression. After the Russian occupation of Siberia, it built a Trans-Siberian railway connecting east and west and relocated a large number of people. Siberia now has a population of 40 million, most of whom are Russians.
Second, it is difficult for Chinese people to adapt to the high latitude climate
Siberia averages below zero a year, and for the Chinese people, the climate is simply unbearable. Unlike Russia, minus tens of degrees is not a problem in their eyes, and their tolerance for the cold is far better than that in our central plains.
3. History and culture
The culture of a nation will also have a very great influence on the course of history. The nomadic people have a tough personality, are brave and good at war, and the people of the Central Plains have a comfortable personality, are content with the status quo, and are gentle and elegant. There is also the Confucian culture that has influenced the number of people in the country for thousands of years, "peace is precious".
Russia is known as a "fighting nation", and war is part of their lives. Looted Siberia and plundered more than 1.5 million lands.
Fourth, the lack of territorial awareness
China lacks the sense of territory in the sea, land and air, and will only compete for the Central Plains, and remote areas will become "barbarian lands". The country occupies an area, and the people will not feel anything, and they think that they have nothing to do when they are full..... This is the inert thinking of the Chinese people.
Siberia's harsh environment makes it difficult for crops to survive, but with all the rare metals in the world, mineral deposits, it is a huge treasure.
