Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 394 The Great Balance of Eurasia

England, the suburbs of London, Windsor Castle.

A sigh sounded.

"What a hopeless contrast!"

King George III said with a sigh.

Hanging in front of him was the latest map that had just been delivered.

The news that the Russians were defeated and completely lost the eastern part of the territory has come.

Although this time, the Russians put on a posture of fighting to the death, and did not sign any treaty with the Ming Empire.

But everyone knows.

Russia has been completely defeated by Ming.

They lost all their fortresses in the steppes of northern Central Asia.

It took the Russians more than 100 years to build these forts successively in the northern part of the Central Asian steppe.

It is the most critical support point for Russia's eastward expansion.

It is precisely because of the support of these fortresses that the Russian Empire can gradually project its power to the east.

And now.

These fortress groups that the Russian Empire has painstakingly managed for more than 100 years all belong to the Chinese.

As such.

The vast territory in the east of the entire Russian Empire.

Central Siberia, East Siberia, Kamchatka Peninsula, etc.

All have become the possessions of the Ming Empire.

Of course.

These are places of bitter cold and have no practical effect. The Ming Empire has only established a Hanbei Development Company in such a huge area, and there is no division of administrative regions. The value of these permafrost is to Russia. It is very important, but for Daming, the largest industrial country in the world, it is actually not of particularly important value.

just.

Such a huge piece of land on the map belongs to Daming.

This makes the Ming Empire appear very conspicuous or scary on the entire world map!

Yenisei River, Central Asia, Qinghai-Tibet Plateau to the east until the Pacific coast.

From the North Glacier to the south to the north of the Australian mainland.

It is a piece of red that belongs to the Ming Empire.

Just seeing this area on the map.

George III kept his eyelids twitching.

"Chris may be the human emperor who ruled the largest number of people and land in history?"

George III said.

"I didn't expect that the exiled prince of China a few years ago would become the most powerful emperor in human history in just a few years!"

The Prime Minister of the British Empire, William Burt Jr., said with a sigh.

He really didn't expect Zhu Daohua to do such a thing.

When Zhu Daohua was in Europe, he attended his banquet. At that time, William Burt Jr. commented on Zhu Daohua as "not a qualified politician, but more like a scholar".

however.

Everything that happens now.

It made Little William a little suspicious of his own eyesight.

"The Russians have been defeated, and their envoys have arrived in London." George III frowned. "They are already seeking an alliance with the French. If Russia and France form an alliance"

For the British Empire.

Their mainland strategy is a shit-stick strategy-to put it bluntly, it is about balancing.

Their goal is to prevent the European continent from being unified as much as possible.

but now
They can't seem to find a strong point to insert their shit-stirring sticks into.

Because now in continental Europe.

Almost all newspapers are reporting one thing: the new Mongols are coming!The yellow peril is coming!

The invasion from the East is the fear engraved in the genes of many European countries and nations.

Huns, Turks, Mongols.

These kings rolled out by the farming peoples on the side of the Great Wall and the south, generally speaking, if they set their goals in the west and invade all the way along the Eurasian steppe belt.

It is very difficult for Western countries to resist their invasion.

To some extent.

The inner and outer sides of the Great Eastern Wall are mutually reinforcing.

A large part of the external reason for the formation of the farming empire in the south was to resist the invasion and plunder from the northern grasslands.

The formation of the farming empire in the south, especially after the construction of the Great Wall.

This in turn forced the loose nomadic tribes in the north to jointly evolve into a huge nomadic empire.

And now.

Something even more frightening to Westerners happened: the two kings in the north and south of the Great Wall of the East are now under the same emperor!

and.

This new empire has also shown a raging ambition to rule the world.

Their tentacles have extended to the Australian continent and the American continent.

the whole of Europe.

There is also no country that can compete with this great empire alone.

The military strength of the Russian Empire is definitely not weak in Europe.

However, the three wars between the Russian Empire and the Ming Empire all ended in the complete defeat of the Russian Empire.

The results are astounding.

"What's even more shocking is that in the third Sino-Russian war, the Russian army was almost wiped out by the Ming army after breaking through the defense with complete fortifications! This shows that there is a huge problem with the military theory of invincible defense! At least .The Chinese know how to break through such a defense1”

Little William Burt said.

"That North America"

"North America doesn't need to worry yet, the key lies in India!"

"India." Speaking of India, George III sighed again.

on the map.

The Indian vassals of the Ming Empire had destroyed the Mughal Empire, and at the same time dismantled the Maratha Alliance, forming the status quo of large and small states in central and southern India submitting to the Indian vassals of the Ming Dynasty.

And in the northwest of India.

The remnants of the original Qing Empire occupied a large amount of land of the Durrani Dynasty, and at the same time occupied the southern part of the Sikh Empire eastward.

While continuing to fight the Sikh Empire in the north, they also fought against the Karat Khanate and the Talpur Dynasty in the south.

These defeated remnants who escaped from China have shown strong combat effectiveness in India. At least these Indian states can hardly resist their invasion.

Thus.

British India once occupied almost the entire south of India and the middle and lower reaches of the Ganges River Basin.

Now there is only a small circle of Bangladesh left, and with the Ming and Indian princes adopting the strategy of "maintaining contact and gradually eroding".

The territory of British India, which is at a disadvantage in terms of military strength and supplies, is also shrinking.

"India. Can we still stay in India?"

"I think the British Empire needs to make a trade-off. We can't fight the Chinese in India. The distance is too far away." William Burt Jr. shook his head and said.

"In addition, we can also support or even join the alliance between Russia and France."

George III frowned upon hearing this.

Little William Burt knew what George III was thinking. If the European continent was unified like the eastern continent, then England might lose its sovereignty just like Japan in the east.

after all.

Compared with a continent.

The power of several small islands is very limited!
Little William Burt showed a smile: "If the balance of the European continent is a small balance, then the balance of the Eurasian continent is a big balance! The British Empire can still grab its own interests from this big balance!" ( end of this chapter)
