The distance between the two sides is only seven miles, which makes Britain extremely nervous. Their northern Afghanistan is to build a buffer to stop the Russian South Indian colony. Now Russia has finally expanded to the front, leading to extremely tense contradictions between the two sides, and war is on the verge.

After intense negotiations, the two countries finally compromised. Russia completely occupied Turkmenistan, but Kuska became the southernmost tip of the Russian empire. Russia will no longer be able to intercept the smooth south in Britain. In fact, it may not be a bad thing for the British to give up Afghanistan to the Russians. This imperial cemetery may be able to bury the Russian empire earlier, but the British chose to pay a high price to maintain control in Afghanistan and confront the local tribes again and again.
Russia has gone south, so starting from Central Asia, there is only one expansion direction left, that is, entering Xinjiang eastward. It is precisely because they have met the weakest China dynasty that even the veteran Zhu Jinglun feels that the historical trend will become.
However, Zhu Jinglun knows that there is no doubt that Russia has been involved in the fierce change of the world pattern, but Russia’s expansion in Xinjiang is beyond reach. However, if Russia wants to break through from southern Mongolia, there is no geographical restriction of an ice-free port, and it must not be easy for Russia to do so.
Because Zhu Jinglun also judged how out of control Russia would become once it expanded to the sea.
Where is Britain deliberately trying to contain Russia in the Mediterranean? Obviously, the biggest impact of Russia is not Britain in the Indian Ocean. The impact of Russia is just a British colony. Although this colony is very important, Britain’s attitude of repeatedly going to World War I seems to prove that the containment of Russia is not just an interest.
If it is said that India’s assimilation of British businessmen over the whole of Europe is that British law gave up its core interests, then it is difficult for ordinary people to understand that Britain blocked Russia in the Pacific region, especially that Britain did not hesitate to form an alliance with Japan, greatly enhancing Japan’s status and sincerely helping Japan win Russia in the war.
The British claim is to prevent Russia from encroaching on Britain’s interests in the Yangtze River, but anyone who knows a little about history knows that the sea was controlled by foreigners at that time. Although the Yangtze River is a British interest area, it is an international waterway for the foreign population. This waterway is also released to Britain and Russia.
Therefore, even if Russia does not expand into the Bohai Sea by force, its economic interests can expand in the Yangtze River basin, so it is difficult to explain the British diplomatic service because less interests are interests.
In fact, what Britain should do is to prevent Russia from getting an excellent ice-free port, and Russia can’t get such a port in any direction, because Russia can really embrace the sea if it gets such a port that is not limited by seasons in one direction.
Once this polar bear rampaging on land suddenly embraces the ocean, what a strong impact he will release after releasing the ocean is that Britain can’t risk experiencing it, and it can’t risk transforming a land power like Russia into an ocean power.
This can explain why Britain has tried its best to win over Russia. Even if it helps to become stronger, it doesn’t matter because it is big. Although it also has contradictions with Britain on some interests, it is a country that embraces the sea and is negotiable. Russia’s simple expansion and expansion has long lost all European countries’ trust. It is predictable for Britain to be bigger and stronger, but it is completely predictable for Russia to enter the sea.
But Zhu Jinglun is very clear about the poor performance of the Russian nation in the ocean. To be honest, he really thinks that the performance of the Russian navy is not as good as that of beiyang fleet. At least beiyang fleet was not sunk by the Japanese capital ship Dingyuan and Zhenyuan in the head-on confrontation at sea. It was the coastal defense gun after Japan conquered Weihai fortress, and the Russian navy really gave Japan a record of armored fighters, which made Dongxiang Pinglang a world-wide star.
Zhu Jinglun can’t guarantee whether history will develop as always, so blocking Russia is also a big established policy. Zhu Jinglun never cut his own flesh to subdue the world. Just stopping Russia from plundering the interests of China is enough to urge him to act.
That is to say, Da will eventually go to the British as a hatchet man to stop the end of Russia, but Zhu Jinglun is not in a hurry to be a hatchet man for Britain. He still needs to get enough commission from the British to make a knife in the hands of the British.
Therefore, in the Vietnam War, Zhu Jinglun was not in a hurry. Russia had just arrived in Bohai Bay, and the British fleet was still deterred there. For a while, Russia could not eat the fat of Huludao, so there would be enough time to lay out the layout in Vietnam to make the situation in Vietnam develop in the most favorable direction.
At the same time, it is necessary to cut as much fat as possible from France, the weakening old European hegemon, when Britain needs it.
Less Europe carved up the huge cake of Africa, the last piece of black land on the earth that was not carved up, which made Zhu Jinglun very greedy
However, no one else is qualified to carve up the tickets for Africa. If you don’t attend, you can’t be invited to attend the Berlin carve-up meeting. In fact, it is equivalent to being rejected.
According to the general resolution of the African Conference, in the future, when powers occupy land or establish protectorates along the coast of Africa, they must inform other countries that signed the agreement to make their own demands when necessary, and at the same time, they must ensure that they have established sufficient power to protect existing interests and comply with the prescribed conditions when necessary. Only in this way can freedom of trade and transit be recognized as effective occupation and recognized by other countries.
That is to say, it must be approved by other countries in order to successfully establish a colony. Obviously, the interests of western European powers have carved up Africa and formed a strategic alliance. If they want to occupy the colony, even if they are strong enough, they will not be recognized by all European countries unless they are powerful countries combined.
This is why Russia, although a member of the Berlin Conference also made substantial expansion in Ludolf, Africa and planned to infiltrate Ethiopia, failed to establish a colony in the end, because all western European countries are wary of Russia, and they would rather let Italy-level countries seize Ethiopia than allow Russia to occupy a colony in Africa.
It is also this way that European countries later formed a strategic alliance to advance and retreat together in the wave of dividing up China, making Li Hongzhang’s strategy of conquering foreigners a joke, because it is impossible for the powers to fight for their heads by dividing their own flesh, because people are discussing the division of meat.
If you want to divide African fat roots, you will have no chance, no qualifications and no tickets for the Berlin conference.
But the French did have tickets and occupied the front row early. They divided a large piece of meat in the most beautiful Congo River basin in Africa.
It is not realistic to take the meat directly from the French, because all hungry wolves in Europe don’t want to see new hungry wolves appear
However, it is not impossible to gain some benefits from France and enter Africa through the platform of France.
At this time, it is necessary for Britain to bridge the gap, at least to get British understanding, otherwise even if France promises this mouthful of meat, it will not be able to swallow it.
Thus, the situation of the French war became a situation in which passive tactics were adopted in the main battlefield to encircle the French army without fighting, but all active warships were sent to Africa to compete for interests
At the end of October, when the rainy season in Vietnam was coming to an end, the Second Fleet of the Great Navy launched an attack on the French base in Madagascar.

Section seven hundred and thirteen The Mekong Delta seeks
France didn’t have many troops in Madagascar colony. Although their naval base was well built, the large fleet occupied it from the front, but when 3 thousand marines landed from the flank and outflanked their battery, France lost it.
It took more than ten days to capture the port of Diego Suvares, which was defended by hundreds of French troops, but the naval action did not stop. Instead, it bypassed the Cape of Good Hope in Africa and continued to March to North Africa, which was the core area of French colonies.
By the end of November, the rainy season in Vietnam is over. Although it is still rainy in the south, it is already a short-term thunderstorm, with more sunny days.
Zhu Jinglun intends to surround the French army for a long time. He doesn’t need to express his attitude directly, because his attitude will make Hurd interpret it and report it to Britain. Zhu Jinglun doesn’t want the British to feel that he is waiting for the price and has no sincerity to confront Russia.
However, Zhu Jinglun needs to agree with the opinions of the Ministry of War officials. However, the officials generally believe that the French army is a spent force and the results of previous attacks show that the storm is too expensive. They are in favor of forcing the French army to surrender through siege. They don’t realize that the defenders of Da Nang will surrender when they have been surrounded for half a year at the end of this year.
The main force of the French army in Saigon is firmly pinned down on the other side of the Saigon River, and they never dare to divide their forces under the pressure of the army, which gives a chance to other directions.
Chinese came here in Nanqi area as early as the end of the year. At that time, it was not even the first time that armed immigrants from Vietnam came here.
Later, the Ruan Dynasty of Vietnam expanded to the south and annexed the occupying country, which gradually encroached on Cambodia’s territory, causing it to compete with Siam again and again. The general situation of Cambodia’s prelude was Confucian rule of Vietnam and Buddhist rule of Siam, which was more organized. As a result, the Vietnamese people’s southward steps were ups and downs, but they eventually went south step by step.
The Vietnamese’s way of going south has its original characteristics, that is, they have built the Rui River and the Antong River successively. It is worth mentioning that Antong River is a canal located in the southwest of Saigon. The completion of this canal has eliminated the flood in Saigon, and Saigon has become a big river port. What’s more, it is worth mentioning that the dredging of this river mainly depends on the strength of local Chinese, so it is also called the national river.
Two canals were built in succession, but it still helped to change the situation that Cambodia was sandwiched between Vietnam and Siam, and the Vietnamese emperor decided to build a third canal after competing with Siam for Cambodia’s advantage.
Just as Emperor Yangdi successfully controlled Jiangnan through the Grand Canal, Vietnam successfully controlled Nanqi area by building a Grand Canal, which Vietnam called Yongji Canal.
This canal connects the Mekong River port of Zhudu to the port of Hexian Port on the side of Siam Bay, which can connect the Mekong River waterway with the Siam Bay waterway. Once Vietnam and Siam have another war, Vietnam will be able to send supplies to the front line as quickly as possible by water transport, and even directly threaten Bangkok by leaving Siam Bay.
This canal, like the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal, has exhausted manpower. The construction of this canal took the Vietnamese two emperors and two generations. First, it was built in the tenth year of Emperor Jialong (119 years), and it took the local Cambodians, Chinese and Vietnamese three months to clear it.
Although the river is more than ten kilometers long, it is different from the super-large project in a small country like Vietnam. The first phase of the canal has just been completed, and the local people have erupted in a great uprising and suppressed it. After that, Jialongdi has not built it.
