Dominate the Country

Chen Ming looked at the map. The Ottomans on this map were divided into countless pieces, and then appeared in different colors. It is roughly similar to the Tianfang world of later generations. Chen Ming mostly merged some small countries, and then some lands were marked in true red.

Türkiye is a place where there is no need for a strong country to emerge. After the Ottoman war with Russia, its mission was over. For China, it no longer has much value. Although it will take a long time to distance the relationship between the two countries.

But for the sake of Chen Han's future, Osman should split up. The true meaning of Tianfang Sect is also suitable for a single-ethnic country. Why bother to bring a lot of people together?

The Ottoman problem largely depends on their ethnic policy. This thing is like a volcano. The longer it is suppressed, the more powerful it will be when it erupts.

However, the local power of the Ottoman Empire was strong, and the latter's class would include some nobles from the conquered nations. For example, the Greek uprising was suppressed by the Ottomans after the Russo-Turkish War. One of the leaders, the young Theodoros Krokotronis, was a member of the local aristocracy. The family of Koroktronis is a prominent family in Messenia. His father, Konstantin Koroktronis, participated in the Orlov Revolution instigated by the Russians in 1770. After its failure, the family fled to Russia.

Therefore, as long as the corruption and decadence of the Ottoman Empire reached a certain level, local riots and uprisings were inevitable. Not to mention that the Ottoman Empire now has the Suez Canal, a golden waterway of great strategic significance.

As long as China distanced itself from the Ottoman Empire, it would become a fertile prey for European powers. Chen Ming now needs to worry more about how to distance himself from the Ottomans. This step must be done in a reasonable way so that no one can make a mistake.

After looking at the map again, Chen Ming believed that the French would help. As long as the Ottomans get closer to France, they will not only attract the hatred of the British, but also give Chen Han a voice.

Chen Ming hopes to see Napoleon suffer a big fall, but he also doesn't want to see the demise of Napoleon's empire. Maybe the Ottomans will come to help Napoleon by then. For example, the Ottomans conducted drills on the Austrian border and made moves in Russian territory. Without Russia and Austria, the anti-French alliance would only have Prussia, which was seriously injured, and Great Britain, which had fewer people and fewer soldiers. Napoleon would not be ousted again, right?

Even if Russia wins this Patriotic War, what they gain will be much less than what they lose. With the loss of hundreds of thousands or more elite soldiers and young people, the national treasury is so clean that it can starve to death, and the finances can only survive through blood transfusions from the British. How much strength does such a country have left? What's more, the French have China and the Ottoman Empire behind them. Moreover, just like the Ottomans, there are many irreconcilable ethnic disputes within Russia.

Such as Poland and Finland.

When Russia fought Napoleon, and then fought China and the Ottoman Empire, how far would Russia be pushed? I am afraid that under the threat of war, the Tsarist Russian government can only fish in the lake and squeeze as much as possible to cope with the huge external pressure. As the shadow of war subsides, internal worries may replace foreign aggression as the number one problem facing the Russian Empire.

Chen Ming will not let Russia go easily, and the Ottomans will not let go of this good opportunity for revenge.

Of course, Napoleon would also encounter huge troubles after returning from a major defeat. Even if Russia and Austria were contained, Napoleon's life would never be easy. At least the flames in France, which have been suppressed by the powerful for a long time, will erupt sharply like a volcano. Those places conquered by Napoleon would never be easily suppressed by the French.

The only difference is that it is difficult for people to see hope in dilapidated Russia, while France still has a good future!

But Chen Ming felt very happy whenever he thought about Tsarist Russia after being ravaged by Napoleon, Ottoman and China. No matter how powerful a country is, it cannot withstand such a war. Repeated wars and defeats can strip away all the foundation stones under the Tsar's throne. Chen Ming hopes to see civil strife in Tsarist Russia and even the collapse of the Romanov dynasty.

Starting from Peter I, Russia and its surrounding countries have developed irresolvable hatred. If nothing else, Sweden is likely to take the opportunity to retaliate against Russia. Although Sweden had just experienced a coup, Gustav III's son Gustav IV was overthrown by his army and his family went into exile. His uncle, Duke Carl, became Carl XIII of Sweden, but there were still constant disputes within Sweden. Carl XIII had no heirs. He married his cousin Hedwig Elizabeth Charlotte and had two sons. But they all died young. Carl XIII, who sat on the throne of Sweden, made his cousin Christian August the crown prince, but the latter soon suffered a stroke and died, and there were rumors that he was killed by Axel von Fersen poisoned him.

Axel von Felsen was the Marshal of the Swedish army, but Karl XIII got rid of Marshal Felsen at his cousin's funeral.

Such a Sweden obviously poses no threat to Russia. But if Russia becomes a big empty frame, will the Swedes still be able to endure it?

Anti-Russian sentiment in Sweden has always been high.

After the Battle of the Three Emperors, Russia became close to the French, at least on the surface. Sweden has always been against France, and the former King Gustav IV is very similar to his father in this respect. Two years ago, Russia invaded Finland in the name of forcing Sweden to obey Napoleon's continental blockade policy, and conquered most of Finland in just one month. Last September, when Napoleon had almost finalized the victory in the war against Austria, Sweden also announced its defeat and signed the Treaty of Frederick Harbor, ceding one-third of Sweden's eastern territory to Russia to establish the Grand Duchy of Finland under the Russian Empire.

Chen Ming didn't believe that the Swedes would be able to endure it at that time. Maybe Napoleon could even keep the Grand Duchy of Warsaw.

Although Russia has many messy troubles inside, they are still not comparable to the Ottoman Empire.

In the Ottoman Empire, ethnic conflicts almost override other conflicts. After defeating Russia, internal conflicts are the biggest crisis for the Ottomans. The conflicts between the Sultan's imperial power and the local feudal lords, and between the reformers and conservatives, are far less than the great crisis of ethnic division. And what about Russia?

The Slavs are the main ethnic group of this empire. The Slavs, who occupy the majority of the population of the entire empire, have an absolute population advantage over those minorities. Therefore, for the current Russian Empire, the biggest internal trouble is not ethnic disputes, but the conflict of interests between serfs and landlords.

This conflict of interests is difficult to reconcile, but as long as the Russian ruling class gives up a little bit of interest, it can temporarily appease the lower class. This is Russia's biggest advantage over the Ottomans.

However, this kind of compromise solution must have a tolerant political environment, which the Russians obviously do not have.

Maybe, the successive wars may really help the serfs destroy the rule of the Tsar. For example, there will be another or two Pugachev-style uprisings...

...

Chen Ming really wants to get rid of Tsarist Russia. Historically, this country has brought too much harm to China, although when he traveled through time in his previous life, China and Russia were very close strategic cooperative partners. Many people don't think too badly of Russia. But the impression of Russia in the minds of Chinese people is not very good either.

From the late Qing Dynasty to the Red Russian Revolution, to the rise of the rabbits, and the ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the subsequent deployment of millions of troops, there are too many grievances and hatreds between China and Russia. Even the collapse of the Red Russians taught China a good lesson!

Chen Ming really wants to completely eliminate this threat.

The previous war made Russia lose the hard work of their 300 years of eastward expansion. And without Siberia, the future Russia will be a first-class European and second-class world country. It has lost the foundation to become a world power. Because Russia, located in the northern end of Europe, cannot expand its colonies as much as Britain and France. Their vast territory is their colony, and now Chen Han has interrupted an eagle head that stretches to the east.

But Russia's part of Europe is still very large, Ukraine, Poland, Finland, Belarus, Lithuania... Although not all of the land of the above countries was swallowed up by Tsarist Russia, most of it was eaten up by Russia. If we add the area of ​​Russia in Europe, the current land area of ​​Tsarist Russia is still no less than 5 million square kilometers.

Except for the current Chen Han, Tsarist Russia is still the second largest country in the world. Therefore, the Russians will continue to be weakened.

The seven northern khanates that defeated the three southern khanates are already preparing for war.

Especially the four Mongolian khanates, these people do not have much awe for Russia. Over the years, Chen Han’s propaganda force and their own propaganda department have mentioned the glory of the Mongols many times, except for hiding some of their deeds in the Han area.

This is unavoidable. No matter how arrogant the Mongols are, they will not think about reappearing their glory now. That is courting death.

The upper class of Mongolia has broadened their horizons over the years and has a better understanding of the fact that the cavalry has declined. Although they despise the Russians ideologically and psychologically, the Mongolian generals who lead the troops will never really look down on Russia.

Chen Ming now understands the difficulties of the rabbits. Under his instructions, the selected texts and illustrations recording the crimes committed by the Mongols in Han land have also been reduced to a certain extent.

If you don't reach this position, you won't know the distress on this point.

Chen Han now needs the Mongols to be dogs, so he can't preach the evil deeds of the Mongols in the country, otherwise it will cause bad results and will also have a not-so-good impact on the relationship between the two sides. Therefore, the river crab god can only be invited out. The only thing Chen Ming can guarantee is that he doesn't want the rabbits to go too far.

It's all because the Mongols don't change their names.

Look, the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Rouran, Turks, and Khitans who dominated the northern grasslands in the past, haven't they all been wiped out?

Only Mongolia has not changed its name after the collapse of the Yuan Dynasty. Otherwise, Chen Ming would not be in such a big trouble now!
