If the Qing court refused to sign the Love Faint Treaty, would 600,000 square kilometers still be occupied by Russia?

In A.D. 1860, the Qing government was forced to recognize the "Love Faint Treaty" signed by Yi Shan, the general of Heilongjiang, and Moravi, the governor of eastern Siberia, Russia two years ago, which meant that China officially lost about 600,000 square kilometers of land north of Heilongjiang and south of Xing 'an Mountains. At the same time, China's territory of 400,000 square kilometers east of the Wusuli River was also seized by Russia.

Russian territory occupied by Russia.

Bow and scrape to the great powers, measure China's material resources, and win the favor of the country? Today, the Qing people are not ashamed of their traitorous behavior, but they can't help wondering: If the Manchu government still has some backbone and refuses to recognize and sign the Aihui Treaty, will China's territory of 600,000 square kilometers be lost?

Of course it will. In fact, raising this question confuses the relationship between unequal treaties and land loss. More than 600,000 square kilometers of fertile land north of Heilongjiang was finally occupied by Russia, not because the Qing government signed the Aihui Treaty, but because greedy and shameless Russia had occupied the area by various means before the Aihui Treaty was signed.

The treaty of infatuation is only observed by Russia? Law? Just admit it. In essence, Aihui Treaty and Beijing Treaty, which recognized Aihui Treaty, are typical unequal treaties. Because the unequal treaty was originally a treaty that two countries forced another country to conclude by force or threat of force on the basis of inequality. Before the conclusion of the treaty, the powers had plundered enough interests.

China's lost territory under the love-faint treaty.

Therefore, neither the government's recognition of the "Love Faint Treaty" nor the Qing government's signing of the unequal treaty can change the fact that 600,000 square kilometers of territory has been occupied by Russia. The weak Qing government had neither the courage nor the strength to assemble troops to defeat the Russian army that invaded and occupied China.

Therefore, the Qing government was unable to change the status quo of China's territorial loss, whether or not it signed the Love Faint Treaty. In the end, concluding an unequal treaty is equivalent to robbers robbing other families of their treasures and property and forcing them to sign a letter of guarantee before the victims admit that they have taken these treasures? A gift? male ...

But in fact, regardless of whether the robbed family signed or not, these properties that originally belonged to him have already been taken away by robbers. Even if they didn't sign it, the robbers couldn't suddenly have a conscience and return it.

Then, how did Russia finally occupy more than 600,000 square kilometers of land north of Heilongjiang in China through step-by-step aggression?

As is known to all, Russia, which is extremely greedy for land, has never given up its covet for Heilongjiang in China in order to gain access to the Far East. The famous czar Peter I in Russian history has repeatedly said that he would occupy Heilongjiang.

However, due to the defeat of Russia in the two Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 and the signing of the Treaty of Nebuchadnezzar, the eastern border between China and Russia remained calm for 150 years. However, with the failure of the Qing government in the 1 Opium War, seeing that this once powerful and ancient empire became vulnerable, Russia, which had been planning for a long time, did not hesitate to step up its aggression against the Heilongjiang River basin.

Treaty of Nebuchadnezzar Chu

1847 in September, Russian aristocrat Muraviev was appointed as the governor of eastern Siberia by czar Nicholas I, and Muraviev was a fanatical aggressor. As soon as he came to power, he frantically advocated to the Russian czar the occupation of Heilongjiang region in China? Necessity? .

Muraviev started? Adventure? Illegally enter China, and learn more about the geography and hydrology of Heilongjiang River Basin and Sakhalin Island. Subsequently, in July of 1850, Muraviev sent a group of Russian invaders led by Russian navy captain Nevelskoi to escape into Heilongjiang, and set up 1 Peter winter camp, a Russian invasion stronghold, on the north bank of Heilongjiang River estuary.

In the second month, these invaders set up a second aggression stronghold in Miaojie, Heilongjiang Port, and changed China Chengmiao Street to Russian name Nikolayevsk.

Subsequently, Russia stepped up its occupation of China territory from 1852 to 1853. In just two years, the Russian army has set up several military posts in Heilongjiang River Basin and Sakhalin Island.

Later, Muraviev even went into battle himself. 1853 1 1 In June, Muraviev personally led 1000 soldiers, arrived in Heilongjiang by more than 70 ships, and captured many cities in China. At the farthest time, the invading ship even reached the Songhua River basin south of Heilongjiang.

Subsequently, several groups of Russian invaders invaded the northern bank of Heilongjiang in China under the organization of the Russian government. In addition to military occupation, Russia began to establish Cossack villages in its own way, that is, armed immigrants. However, there was little resistance to Russia's repeated public invasions. Although the Qing government conducted several rounds of negotiations with Russia, there was no result at all.

In the end, more than 600,000 square kilometers of land on the northern bank of Heilongjiang was actually occupied by Russia under the repeated blatant invasions by Russia, and all strategic places in this territory were controlled by Russian aggressors. After actually occupying the territory of China, Russia began to seek again? Legalize? .

Also in that year, in order to further open the China market and intensify the aggression against China, the old powers Britain and France formed an alliance and launched the Second Opium War. Taking advantage of China's domestic troubles and foreign invasion and the cowardice of Qing government officials, the Russian government first forced Yi Shan, a general of Heilongjiang Province, to sign the Aihui Treaty privately in 1858, and finally forced the Qing government to recognize it in 1860. Since then, more than 600,000 square kilometers of land north of Heilongjiang has been occupied by Russia and has not been recovered.
