At the end of the Qing Dynasty's rule, the situation in the Northeast became extremely complicated, full of humiliation and bloodshed.

Across the Heilongjiang River, Heihe and Hailan Pao face each other, both of which were Chinese territory until 1858.

However, with the implementation of the Aihui Treaty, Hailan Pao on the other side of the river became the territory of the Soviet Union.

No matter how angry the people of later generations are, it will not help, the established facts have already happened, and it is not easy to change them.

In 1858, the Qing Dynasty ceded not only the land of Hailanpao, but also the people who have lived on this land for generations.

Tsarist Russia had coveted the region for hundreds of years, and after getting their hands on Hailan, their follow-up measures followed.

It is not just about occupying it, but it is also about turning the area into the territory of Tsarist Russia.

Then the Chinese living in this land have become an obstacle for them.

Under the careful planning of Tsarist Russia, the Hailan Bubble Bloody Incident and the Jiangdong 64 Tun Massacre broke out in 1900, resulting in the massacre of more than 40,000 Chinese.

However, after the news was transmitted back to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty reacted very coldly to the bloodshed and tragedy.

In 1856, shortly after the Qing Dynasty was opened, the situation of the country was facing earth-shaking changes, and Tsarist Russia also took this opportunity to cause trouble in the northeast.

In this year, Tsarist Russia sent its own army to the Heilongjiang River to forcibly occupy the land of China, that is, Hailan Pao.

The Qing government did not show much resistance to Tsarist Russia's aggression, which made Tsarist Russia even more rampant.

The fact that the Qing Dynasty could even allow its own Longxing land, the Northeast, to be invaded by others, is enough to see the weakness and incompetence of the Qing rulers.

Occupation was not the ultimate goal of Tsarist Russia, their idea was to completely incorporate this land into the territory of Tsarist Russia. So, in 1858, Tsarist Russia forced the Qing government to sign the Treaty of Aihui.

Hailan Pao, which originally belonged to General Heilongjiang, became the land of Tsarist Russia at this time.

Although the Qing government showed great disgust at the conclusion of this treaty, and even refused to recognize it.

However, in 1860, the Qing government had to accept these territorial cessions in its entirety in the Treaty of Peking.

So far, the 600,000 square kilometers of the northeast region, including Hailan Pao, has become the land of the Tsars.

The name of the poetic city of Hailan Pao has also become the name of Blagoveshchensk, which has a very strong Russian flavor.

Along with the land, there are 40,000 Chinese living in Hailan Pao.

These Chinese have lived in Hailan Pao for generations, and their footprints cover all fields of industry, agriculture and commerce in Hailan Pao.

In addition, due to the fact that it faces the Heihe River across the river, the two places are also very close.

All kinds of itinerant vendors and migrant workers often travel between the two places.

This de facto close connection was forcibly interrupted by the Tsarist Russians, who forbade the Chinese to set foot in Hailan again.

After the occupation of Hailan Pao, Tsarist Russia's policy towards this area was relatively relaxed, because they had to rely on the Chinese to continue to develop the land.

This situation lasted only until 1882, when Tsarist Russia began to vigorously develop and migrate to the Far East, and Slavs and Cossacks moved from distant Europe to the Far East.

The increase in the number of people has made the local land extremely tense, and contradictions have arisen.

Tsarist Russia's method was very simple, that is, to drive out and massacre the Chinese and forcibly occupy the Chinese's resources.

In addition, the outbreak of the Boxer Rebellion in 1900 made Tsarist Russia use this as an excuse in the northeast to temporarily recruit troops to control and suppress them locally.

On July 12, 1900, ships dispatched by the Russian side carried out various illegal inspections and obstruction of traffic on the Heilongjiang River.

After a lot of back and forth, the Qing Dynasty was forced to go to war with Tsarist Russia.

In this way, it gave Tsarist Russia an excuse to carry out its next move.

On July 17, Tsarist Russia gathered all the Chinese in Hailan and drove the Chinese to the Heilongjiang River with violence and guns.

It was claimed that they would be sent back to China, however, there was no transportation on the river.

When the Chinese gathered, the true face of Tsarist Russia was revealed, and they slaughtered the crowd with sticks and guns.

Any Chinese who wanted to return to land was severely beaten by Tsarist Russia.

A mother wanted to leave her child on land and willingly wade into the water to die, but instead of giving her any old chance, Tsarist Russia killed her child.

In this way, within 4 days, the Chinese in Hailan were basically expelled by Tsarist Russia, and the number of deaths was countless.

At the same time that Tsarist Russia carried out the Hailan Bloody Case, they also carried out aggression and massacre against Jiangdong 64tun on the other side of the Jieya River.

Because, this land is also a place of survival coveted by the Tsarist Russians.

In addition to sending Cossacks and Slavs to this land and forcibly seizing the cultivated land of the Chinese, they also had to expel the Chinese.

The means are the same as Hailan Pao, driving all the Chinese to the river, and then carrying out a unified massacre.

For four days, it was difficult to see Chinese people in Hailan Pao and Jiangdong 664 Tun.

In this tragedy, more than 40,000 Chinese paid the price of their lives, and only about 80 swam back to the other side of the river.

The Qing government was indifferent to such a tragedy and allowed Tsarist Russia to act recklessly on Chinese territory.

There is no sympathy for the plight of the Chinese people, and even disregard their lives and dignity.
