Catherine II's "Greek Plan": Is it the right way to find a partner?

One day, Dong Li came to him and whispered: You like a small family with a good apartment and a good location. Why not separate his home? I must have the balcony. My house is full of north houses. I hope the balcony will light up! There is also the entrance. As for the two bedrooms, the kitchen and the bathroom, they are all yours. How about this plan? ?

Xiao Ming hesitated and said, that's great. But I don't deal with Lao Pu upstairs, lest he accuse me of bullying Xiao Qi and stabbing me in the back. Also, property and urban management are not easy to explain. ?

Xiaoli smiled:? General, I'll take care of it. As for property management and urban management, they have bigger things to do, but they still can't take care of our work. ?

More than 200 years ago, in Eastern Europe and the Near East, Xiao Li, Xiao Ming and Xiao Qi were like Russia, the Austrian Empire and Ottoman Turkey. Xiaoli's separation plan was precisely the dismemberment of Turkey by the then Russian Tsar Catherine II. Greek plan? .

So this? Greek plan? Why did you come? How was it implemented later?

How did Xiaoli finally convince Xiaoming?

Back then? Urban management? Follow? Property? What are you up to?

0 1 Not Crimea.

Until the middle of the18th century, female tsar Catherine II complained in a letter to the Enlightenment Sports Master Voltaire:

(Crimea) Tatars bring plague and famine to Russia every year. They plundered the Russians as slaves and killed and sold them at will. There are as many as 20 thousand people on average every year.

For a long time, Russia has been living in fear from the East. Starting from 1223, the Qincha Coalition of Voros (the predecessor of Russia) was defeated by Subutai in the Battle of Galaga River, and six princes were beheaded. By 1243, the Chincha khanate of Mongolia was formally established, and for more than 200 years, the Russian region was under the rule of the East Mongols.

/kloc-After the disintegration of the Chincha khanate in the 5th century, the Crimean khanate split out, which became a lingering nightmare for southern Russia.

Only in 1558? During the 30 years from 65438 to 0596, the Crimean Khanate invaded Russia on a large scale, as many as 30 times. 157 1 in may, the khanate army also captured Moscow, looted it and set it on fire. The wooden buildings and palaces in the whole city were almost completely burned, and the number of casualties exceeded100000. Previously, the first tsar in Russian history, the mighty Ivan the Terrible, escaped under the desperate defense of his subordinates.

Especially for Russians, the Crimean Khanate has long been a vassal of the Ottoman Turkish Empire. Turkish slingshot? Therefore, it is difficult to annex the Kazan khanate and the Astrakhan khanate overnight, but it has become a weapon for Ottoman Turkey to curb Russia's development. In the future, Russia and Turkey will compete with each other for more than 200 years, lasting ten times? Russian-Turkish War? Most of them were carried out in the khanate region of Crimea.

Since/kloc-Peter the Great in the late 7th century, there has been a lingering problem in Russia. Dream of a big country? Not only should we advance into Siberia and expand land territory, but we should also attack north and south to compete for ports in the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea and become a maritime power.

As Peter the Great himself said:

If there is a king in the world who has only one army, he has only one hand;

Only with the navy can he be called fully armed.

500 rubles for the statue of Peter I in Russia.

Peter the Great really realized this when he died? Armed to the teeth , he won? Northern War? Seize the Baltic Sea estuary from the Swedes, establish St. Petersburg and move its capital here. But the southern front is not so lucky. Where is Peter the Great? The second Russian-Turkish war? Two personal expeditions once captured the fortress of Azov Sea on the northern shore of the Black Sea, but only after more than ten years, Turkey launched a counterattack with the Crimean Khanate. Where is Peter? The third Russian-Turkish war? Lost, threw away everything I just got.

Russia has been isolated from the Black Sea ever since.

Some people say that the most precious thing in the world is? Can't get it? And then what? Lost? Crimea, on the northern shore of the Black Sea, took both. How can you not let the later Russian monarch dream?

02 female czar from Germany

1762, 33-year-old yekaterina staged a palace coup and imprisoned her husband, then Tsar Peter III, who later became Queen Catherine II. Someone compared her to Russia? Wu Zetian? But the difference is that no matter how hard Wu Zetian tried, she was still a Han Chinese, the emperor of the Han Chinese, and yekaterina was the daughter of a ruined aristocrat in Prussia, formerly known as Sophia. Augusta is an out-and-out German foreigner who can't speak a word of Russian.

China's Book of Rites has a cloud:

Entry is forbidden, entry is vulgar, and entry is taboo.

In order to survive, Sophia did as the Romans do, and later changed her Russian name? Yekaterina? Alekseev na? Strive to transform yourself into a person in language, religion and living habits? Russian? . When she first came, she suffered from pneumonia in the severe winter in Russia, and she was in a coma for more than ten days with high fever. She once entered a state of dying. At the end of her life, people found a Lutheran Protestant priest to pray for her, but after waking up, yekaterina insisted that the Orthodox priest should preside over the ceremony.

This incident refreshed her personnel and made the Russian court have a good impression on the German princess.

This religion is above Fang Yuanyuan, which is not easy for China people to understand. Metaphorically, it's like a northern foodie married to Jiangnan and unfortunately met with an accident. Before she died, her family brought her favorite red jujube zongzi, but the northern girl waved. Married to Jiangnan, I am from the south. Why not take it and replace it with minced meat, jiaozi? How determined it is to make such a change.

In sharp contrast, it is the Queen's husband Peter III.

Statue of Peter III

Strictly speaking, this Peter is not Russian. He grew up in a German governor: Holstein. He came to Russia as the grandson of Peter the Great as an adult, but he has? Stubborn? , incompatible with the Russian court. Especially Peter III was Frederick II, King of Prussia at that time? Die-hard fans. Siege Prussia in European countries? Seven years' war? When victory was in sight, the newly enthroned King Peter III, regardless of his own interests, took the initiative to make peace with Prussia, giving up all the fruits of victory, and wanted to invite Pufang to guide Russian military reform.

In the long run, the Russians have understood. To use a China idiom, it is:? Couples who are also living together, how can this life gap be so big? ? It is obvious who is true love and who is love rat. So, just six months after he ascended the throne, Peter III was overthrown by his wife in a coup. Her Majesty's position above.

A German? Foreign girl? No husband was born? Is the bloodline correct? It is difficult to get the support of the broad masses of people at the bottom like Peter the Great. The legitimacy of Catherine II's rule can only be obtained through two channels:

One is the support of big noble and the big landlords.

Proceeding from reality, Catherine II consolidated the serfdom, safeguarded the interests of the nobility, strengthened the position and role of landlords in Russian life, issued letters on the rights, freedoms and privileges of the Russian nobility, and determined the privileges of the nobility from a legal perspective. Has been in power for 34 years, known as? The golden age of Russian aristocrats? .

The second is to continue the great achievements of Peter the Great and seize? Political correctness? .

It was in the era of Catherine II that Russia attacked from all sides to expand its territory and truly became one of the European powers from a marginal country.

1768, Catherine II took the initiative to provoke? The fifth Russian-Turkish war? . Because the strength has changed, this time, Russia completely defeated the Crimean khanate and once again opened the mouth of the Black Sea.

Secondly, it is the mastermind behind the Black Sea, the feud between Russia and Ottoman Turkey. However, yekaterina will have to wait for a window to come.
