«——【Preamble】】 ——»
As one of the four ancient civilizations, China has a vast territory in history. Compared with the world, the per capita resources of the mainland are still too few.
The reason for this situation is that some territories and vassal countries on the mainland were independent before, and some of these independent countries turned against the mainland, and some of them "repented"...
What are these independent countries? Are they doing well?
«——[Qing Dynasty Territory Loss, Outer Mongolia Independence]——»
In literary allusions, there have always been many iconic place names, but with the passage of time, the location of these place names is no longer in the mainland, and this involves one country, that is, Outer Mongolia.
The independence of Outer Mongolia has led to the shortcomings of the mainland's glorious history and culture, such as the sealing of the wolf Juxu and the drinking of Ma Hanhai, which are regarded as the highest pursuit of military generals.
Feng Wolf Juxu is the Han Dynasty champion Hou Huo to the disease of the merit, he at the age of 20, led the team to break the Huns, and in the Xiongnu Holy Mountain Wolf Juxu Mountain, carried out the sacrifice to the heavens, a war to seal the Hou, in contrast, the flying general Li Guang is difficult to seal, from the title of champion Hou alone, you can see the merits of the wolf Juxu.
However, this famous mountain recorded in the history of the continent is no longer in the territory of the mainland, but in Mongolia, it is now the Kent Mountain of Mongolia, and it has the same situation, there is also Yanran Mountain in Leshi Yanran, which is now Hangai Mountain in Mongolia, and the reason for this phenomenon is the independence of Outer Mongolia.
In the traditional name of the mainland, the current Mongolia is actually called "Outer Mongolia", and the "Inner Mongolia Province" in the north of the mainland belong to the brothers of the same mother, and the two regions originally belonged to the territory of Mongolia. However, due to the distance and proximity to the Central Dynasty of China, the cultures of the two places began to differ, but there was no difference at all, just like the Siberian tiger, which crossed the border line is the Siberian tiger.
Historically, Mongolia has always been a nomadic people, their own culture belongs to the hunting culture, living on animal husbandry, but animal husbandry is extremely unstable, when the grass is full of horses and fat, they will collectively go south to harass and plunder the material wealth of the central dynasty, and some even plunder the population.
After being conquered by the Central Dynasty, the local living habits also produced differences, the areas close to the Han people, often communicated with the Han people, and in the mutual exchanges, they were assimilated, and began to reduce nomadic customs, while those who were farther away still maintained their habits to a greater extent, so in order to distinguish between the two, there were names of Inner Mongolia and Outer Mongolia.
During the Qing Dynasty, China's territory reached its peak, and in the years since, the Qing Dynasty has been entrenched and self-proclaimed, resulting in falling behind the times, and being forced to cede land and pay reparations under repeated bullying by Western powers, and many lands have been divided.
For example, several stan states, there are also some vassal states occupied by foreign powers, and then independent, but the more special is Mongolia, which directly belongs to the territorial territory of the mainland, belongs to the direct management of the central government, due to geographical reasons, under the operation of Tsarist Russia, as a buffer zone and became independent, became the current Mongolia.
«——[Separation of Outer Mongolia and Stan·]——»
During this period, the feudal agricultural countries and the capitalist industrial countries rose one after another, and began to enclose land around the world in the form of colonization and aggression, and the two forms of representative countries were Britain, France and Tsarist Russia.
During the period of Tsarist Russia, Russia began to expand its territory, during this period, Russia expanded its territory to Europe, Asia, North America, in Europe, Russia expanded to the west and south, and disputes with many European countries, including many invasions of Poland, and hedged with Turkey at that time, because of the large number of European countries, so Russia's expansion in Europe is very difficult, but there are many gains.
In the expansion of Asia, it expanded all the way to the east and south, south to the current state of Stanstan, and east all the way from the Bering Strait to North America, at this time, the entire northern part of Asia was occupied by Russia.
However, for the agrarian Russia, the territory they had painstakingly occupied was difficult to develop, far from the capital, but because of the severe cold, it was difficult to develop, so they began to expand southward and invade the territory of the Qing Dynasty.
During the Kangxi period, the Qing Dynasty advocated confrontation with Tsarist Russia, and at that time called them "foreign devils". But at this time, the western frontier began to be turbulent, and the northern territory was in poor natural conditions, relatively speaking, it was not too anxious, under comprehensive consideration, the Qing Dynasty focused on the western issue, which also gave Tsarist Russia the opportunity to expand frantically.
There is a classic idiom on the mainland, drinking Ma Hanhai, of which Hanhai is Lake Baikal in today's Russia, located in Central Asia, is a world-famous inland lake, and the loss of Hanhai is due to the Qing Dynasty's lack of time to fight during this period.
In addition to the Hanhai region, the current Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan also belonged to the territory of the mainland in history. After being occupied by Tsarist Russia, it became part of the Soviet Union, and after the collapse of the Soviet Union, it also became independent. If you want to go into detail, then part of the territory of Kazakhstan, which also once belonged to the mainland, can be regarded as independent from the mainland.
In southern Asia, Britain and France began to expand their colonies, Britain began to accumulate a lot of wealth based on India, and in the subsequent expansion, it met France in Southeast Asia, which expanded to the north, and under the negotiation of the two, it was determined that there would be no conflict, and the two took Thailand as the dividing line to divide the British and French colonies.
After being blocked from going south, Britain began to play the idea of going north, but at this time Tsarist Russia also expanded from Central Asia, and the two also negotiated and decided to jointly occupy the territory of the Qing Dynasty, Britain hit the idea of Xinjiang and Tibet, and Russia hit the idea of Outer Mongolia, which became independent and became a buffer zone between the Qing Dynasty and Tsarist Russia.
«——【Vietnam and the Korean Peninsula】——»
Outer Mongolia and several stan countries belong to the countries that were completely independent from the mainland territory, and the countries established after the establishment belong to the mainland with a very heavy regret, and the remaining regions, in history, have a relationship with the mainland that belong to the vassal states, such as Vietnam and the Korean Peninsula, which belong to the existence that cannot be discussed in detail, but are inextricably linked with the mainland.
Historically, Vietnam has always been part of the mainland dynasty and has close ties with many dynasties, having helped later Ming descendants fight against the Manchus.
The origin of the Korean Peninsula is even older, and it has a great connection with the Central Plains Dynasty in terms of writing, clothing, and culture. After the end of World War II, the mainland helped Vietnam win the rebellion against the colonizers, and then Vietnam became independent, while the Korean Peninsula, with outside intervention, was divided into South Korea and North Korea.
«——【The current situation of countries·】——»
Among these independent countries, South Korea and North Korea are the ones who live better.
One has economic advantages, and the other has political and military advantages, both of which are world-renowned existences, and we are all very familiar with both, and the comparison between several other countries and them is far from enough, especially Vietnam.
Mongolia is still a buffer zone between China and Russia, but it does not have much intimacy with the mainland, but has had many disagreements.
During the Soviet era, Mongolia was the backyard of the Soviet Union, and many of the policies of the Soviet center at that time would be piloted in Mongolia, when Mongolia was a loyal follower of the Soviet Union, but after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Mongolia began to have other ideas.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Mongolia began to contact the United States, and even now, Mongolia still maintains close diplomatic relations with Western countries, and in terms of attitude towards the mainland, Mongolia was not very friendly during this period, and even had to pay tolls with the mainland.
With the rise of China and Russia, especially the strength of Russia's Putin, Mongolia has gradually settled down and is no longer engaged in those "moths". At present, Mongolia is more inclined towards Russia, and there is a tendency for history to repeat itself.
In addition to the lack of political independence, Mongolia's economic and ecological development has been restricted, due to overgrazing, so Mongolia's ecological soil has been seriously damaged, sandy weather is frequent, grassland degradation, and the development of basic animal husbandry is relatively difficult.
In other development directions, due to the excessive dependence on the Soviet Union, it was very lacking in the development of other industries.
Now Mongolia, more dependent on the export of resources, but itself is surrounded by two big countries, whether it is import and export to pay tariffs between China and Russia, trade restrictions, if it is exported nearby, Russia itself is a resource power, and China is not very optimistic about trade with Mongolia.
On the one hand, there are historical reasons, and on the other hand, it is now too close to Russia, and its trade with the mainland cannot guarantee long-term stability. Under the whole, Mongolia can only follow the old path, simply acting as a buffer zone, and the development opportunities are slim.
However, the situation of Stan and Mongolia is the same, both of them are limited in their own development, and they cannot succeed in seeking others, but they have no potential for independent development, resulting in their mediocre development both internationally and internally.
However, with the in-depth cooperation with China, the construction of the "Belt and Road" economic belt has also provided them with vitality and motivation for development, and I believe that with the help of the "Belt and Road", they can usher in rapid development faster.
«——【·“ Regret "Vietnam·]——»
Among the independent countries, the worst situation is Vietnam.
Today, Vietnam's domestic development is backward, and the import and export amount is in a state of serious restrictions. Although its geographical proximity to the mainland is very close, its historical behavior has deeply hurt China's heart, resulting in its current situation being very passive, and the intestines of Vietnam, which is now independent, will "regret its youth......
At the beginning of the founding of the mainland, it provided a lot of help to Vietnam, not only helping them drive out the counter-attacking colonists, but also providing a lot of materials to help them build an independent state.
You must know that at that time, our country was also in a situation of waste waiting to be rebuilt, and our own resources were also very insufficient, but we still gritted our teeth and contributed people and materials.
But it didn't take long for them to become hostile to the mainland, frantically destroying the mainland border, and in order to protect themselves, we launched a self-defense counterattack against Vietnam in 1979. In the time since, anti-Chinese sentiment has permeated Vietnam, and even now, when the mainland is strengthening ties with Southeast Asian countries, Vietnam has to push back and put on a bad appearance.
Under the influence of multiple factors, Vietnam has not developed in many aspects, but with the passage of time, the cooperation between China and Southeast Asian countries has deepened, and it is believed that there will be more language exchanges between China and Vietnam.
«——【·Epilogue·】——»
Although these countries have become independent for various reasons, from the perspective of Chinese culture, they are still the children of the Han cultural family, and we cherish the friendship between the two sides.
