At the end of Qing dynasty, Russia occupied1500,000 square kilometers of land. Where have all the local residents gone?

Historically, today's Russian Far East once belonged to the territory of Yuan Dynasty, Qing Dynasty and other dynasties. Because of its remote location and bad climate, it is not suitable for human habitation. So for a long time, there were not many people, and basically all nomadic people of Manchu and ancient Asian races grazed in this area. The aborigines in the Far East are mainly Hezhe, Ewenki and Nifeihe, as well as local aborigines such as Nanai, Udaigai, Ewenki and Oroc, as well as foreign Koreans, Kazakhs and Tatars.

In modern times, a large number of Han people also entered the local area to engage in trade activities and settled down over time. After Russia occupied the Far East, the local aborigines were greatly reduced. Take the Primorsky Krai on the Sino-Russian border as an example. 1994 has a population of 2.4 million, and the indigenous population only accounts for 0. 1%. There are also few Han and other ethnic aborigines, most of whom are Russians and Ukrainians. So, what did Russia do after the invasion, which greatly reduced the number of aborigines in the Far East? Where have all these aborigines gone?

I occupation and plunder. In fact, today's territories in the Far East, such as Primorsky Krai, Khabarovsk Krai and Jewish State, north of Heilongjiang and east of Wusuli River, originally belonged to China in the Qing Dynasty. In addition to many ethnic minorities, there are many Han people who have lived here for generations. /kloc-In the middle of the 9th century, the Second Opium War broke out, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement in China was in full swing. In the face of Britain and France's strong ships and strong guns, the Qing government was unable to cope with internal and external troubles.

At this time, Russia, on the grounds of mediating the war, jumped out to be a good man, cajoled General Yishan of Heilongjiang, signed the Ji Hui Treaty, and ceded nearly 600,000 square kilometers of China land to Russia, while the Qing territory east of Wusuli River was designated as the * * * area between the two countries. Since then, the British and French allied forces invaded Beijing, and Russia did the same thing again, forcing the Qing court to sign the Sino-Russian Beijing Treaty, which made the Qing government hand over nearly 400,000 square kilometers of land in the original * * * area again. Through two threats, greedy Russia embezzled nearly one million square kilometers of the Far East territory of our country.

Second, immigration and slaughter. Russian persecution of indigenous people in the Far East can be traced back to the beginning of17th century. At that time, there was a people named You Jiaji in the Far East, with about 4,500 people. Just a hundred years later, there were only 2,500 people left, a sharp drop of 45%. There were about 25,000 Kamchatka people in kamchatka peninsula. After the Russians entered, it decreased by 68% in a hundred years, leaving only more than 8,000 people. There is a Chukchi people in the eastern part of the Far East, with an initial population of 15000.

After the Russians came, the Chukchi people resolutely resisted their rule. The two sides fought for hundreds of years, and finally only a few thousand people moved into Chukchi Peninsula. After Russia occupied the Far East, according to the Beijing Treaty between China and Russia, although the sovereignty was handed over to Russia, the local Qing nationals could still live on the land where they had lived for generations, and Russia was not allowed to drive them away. In order to stabilize the occupation, the Russian people were able to show a kind face to the aborigines at first, not only buying food and other military supplies from residents fairly, but also taking the initiative to distribute scarce living materials to the aborigines.

At the same time, we will step up immigration to the local area and move a large number of Ukrainians and Russians into the local area. In just 40 years, Russians and Ukrainians have become the main ethnic groups in this region. At this time, Russia showed its ferocious face and began to rob indigenous livestock and slaughter indigenous people. They brutally killed the local Hezhe and Ewenki residents, making the local Hezhe almost slaughtered. The Oroqen people along the Jieya River were forced to move to Daxinganling, the Jurchen people fled to the south of Heilongjiang and the west of Wusuli River, and the Buryat Mongols also moved to China.

Third, the Hailan gun tragedy. 1900, the Boxer Rebellion rose, and Russia once again took advantage of the chaos of the Qing court to confront the Qing army across the river in the sixty-four village in Jiangdong and the Hailan bubble on the north bank of Heilongjiang. In the face of the imminent war, except for a few Han people who have migrated for many years, most of them stayed in the local area under the security guarantee of Russia. However, with the constant tension between the two countries, Russia began to block the crossing route of Hailan gunboat, gathered thousands of local Han Chinese together, forced them to rush to the river at gunpoint in the early morning, forced them to swim to the other side by themselves, and those who refused to enter the water were killed on the spot.

Under this threat, a large number of Han people who can't swim have to go to the deep water area at gunpoint. Apart from a few successful swimmers, nearly 5000 people drowned in the river. Russia also stipulated in another treaty that the same is true of the sixty-four villages in Jiangdong where China enjoys administrative power. They set fire to these Han villages, drove residents from their homes to the river and shot anyone who walked slowly. ?

And then forced them into the river, which added more than 2,000 innocent souls. It is under the infiltration and high-pressure assimilation of Russian immigrants that the Far East gradually became the world of Russians. The intermarriage of the same race was also invaded by the Russian nation, and the descent of the indigenous people was further diluted. After a long period of expulsion, slaughter, division and exile, a few indigenous people began to integrate into Russia and lost their national characteristics and customs. (Reference:
