C3545 The Fiihrer annihilating you has nothing to do with you! (1/2)
The Head of the Guards cleared up the fog of history, and in the chaos, he carried out a historical judgement of the Yaqub rebellion in the Western Regions, which could be considered as his final conclusion!
The rebellion of Yaqub in the Western Regions was the biggest crisis in modern China's western border. From the surface, it looked like a rebellion and the establishment of the empire had already been successful.
In the end, the reason why Yaqub was able to rebel was because he had borrowed the power of Britain and Russia. It was impossible for him to rebel without the help of these two European powers.
As everyone knew, when the Crimean War, Sha Russia, was completely defeated and the Northern Sea of Europe was completely sealed off by the Royal Fleet, this gigantic polar bear could only set its gaze towards the distant Asia, Central Asia and East Asia.
The Central Asia and Britain fought in Afghanistan and other countries, each began to support its own close political regime, while East Asia concentrated on the reconstruction of the geopolitical landscape of the Far East.
The confrontation between these two great battlefields was a battle that lasted for a hundred years. Both sides were well aware of it, but there was no real declaration of war!
Especially the Central Asia, this was a war of representatives!
In fact, Yaqub was originally a general in the Haohan Kingdom. He could fight and kill mercilessly, nicknamed the Central Asia's Butcher.
The position of the Haohan Kingdom was actually located in most of the territories of Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Kyrgyzstan in the 21st century.
This huge region, with the northern border of Russia, the southern border of Britain's so-called semi-colonial Afghanistan, and the southern border of India!
Both Britain and Russia were trying their best to win over this country by providing money and weapons to help him dominate the Central Asia. The ambition of the Haohan Kingdom, which had been raised by his power, had grown exponentially.
On the surface, it looked to be the Haohan Kingdom's underhand, Yaqub was just a dog that ran around the Haohan Kingdom!
But don't forget, how did the Haohan Kingdom, a poor country of the Central Asia, dare to clash head-on with the Qing Empire? One had to know that the technology of this country was not as good as that of the Qing Empire. It had no industrial base at all.
Where did their gunpowder and rifles come from? Who provided the funds for the war?
Why when Yaqub invaded Xinjiang, Sha Russia attacked from the north side of the Haohan Kingdom, took over the famous city Tashkent, and then forced the Han Empire to become a vassal state of the Sha Russia!
In the end, it was the English and the Russian that ended up destroying this khan country!
It was clearly stated in Cao Shuo's Western Region monograph that no one had lost a battle on the way back to Xinjiang in just two years since Yaqub's last swift defeat and Zuo Zongtang's great army officially entered the battlefield.
Did he really rely on military success? It was actually not the case, the real chess player behind the scenes was actually Xiao Letian!
Because in all of East Asia, he was the only one who could stir up the situation in Europe and play tricks with the top powers.
Although he did not place a single soldier in Xinjiang, his continuous attacks had indirectly affected the structure of the entire Central Asia!
Very simple, the British originally supported the Haohan Kingdom, and kept giving money to the guns! But when Russia took over Tashkent and forced the Khan to become a vassal state, the British changed their attitude!
It was at this time that Xiao Letian suddenly made his move and even officially established a relationship with Britain in London. During the continuous honeymoon period, Xiao Letian and Britain had already reached a secret agreement to help Britain curb the expansion of Russia in Asia.
Haohan Kingdom and Yaqub's rebel army suddenly lacked the military support from the United Kingdom, and their weapons, equipment and money was reduced by more than half!
