Because of its border with northeast China, Tsarist Russia once proposed the "Yellow Russia Plan" and planned to include half of China including the northeast under its command.
So, why did the "Yellow Russia Project" fail?
Nicholas II
The author of the Yellow Russia plan is Nicholas II.
He is the last emperor of the Russian Empire, who was secretly executed by the Russian people.
In the early morning of July 17, 918, in the basement of a villa in Yekaterinburg, Russia, Nicholas II, Queen Alexandra and their eldest daughter Princess Oliga, second daughter Princess Tatiana, and third daughter Ma Princess Leah, daughter Princess Anastya, and only son Prince Alexei were secretly executed by the secret police. Several minutes of machine gun shooting caused blood to spill over the room, which was horrible. Although
ended tragically, the last emperor came up with many ways to deal with China's aggression, and the Yellow Russian Plan was one of the most important ones.
Yellow Russia plan
The Yellow Russia plan proposed by Nicholas II has a historical background.
When the era entered the nineteenth century, the weak Qing government was unable to control the situation. Great powers entered China one after another, frantically dividing China. At this time, because of its border with China, Tsarist Russia has acted as a vanguard, including Xinjiang, Mongolia, and Northeast China, that is, northern China, into its plan to embezzle, especially coveting the Northeast.
In order to include the Northeast under its command, Tsarist Russia obtained the privilege of overhauling the railway in the Northeast. They garrisoned troops along the Dongqing Railway, which stretches across the northeast, and did evil, which caused great indignation among the Chinese people. The Russian imperial government believed that the time had come to formally invade the northeast. Its army minister said: "This will give us an excuse to occupy Manchuria." Z1z
So Nicholas II proposed the "Yellow Russia Plan." The plan is to draw a straight line from the Chogori Peak on the Sino-Russian border in Xinjiang to Vladivostok, and all the land to the north will be allocated to Russia. In his plan, half of China will become an integral part of Russia, like Little Russia (Ukraine) and Belarus, and turn northeast China into "Yellow Russia."
The great powers divide up China
In order to implement the "Yellow Russia Plan", Russia has adopted two methods of occupation by force and cultural aggression.
On July 9, 1900, Nicholas II announced that he was appointed commander-in-chief. On the pretext of “helping the Qing government establish order and stability”, he ordered the mobilization of 180,000 troops and marched into Northeast China in seven directions. Except for the units that directly participated in the Eight-Nation Allied Forces on the Southwest Road. After completing the capture of Beijing and Tianjin, they sent their troops north to Shanhaiguan to attack Jinzhou. They took action at the end of September. The remaining six roads all invaded the northeast in July. Afterwards, under the coercion of force, Tsarist Russia forced the Qing government to sign a series of unequal treaties, plundering more than 1.5 million square kilometers of China.
In terms of cultural aggression, the forces of the Russian Orthodox Church entered China and built more than 130 churches (prayer houses) in Lushun, Dalian, Shenyang, Changchun, Harbin to Heihe, Tongjiang, Manzhouli, Suifenhe and Mudanjiang.
In addition, Tsarist Russia also established many schools. From 1898 to 1917, Russia opened more than 400 schools for boys and girls in the range of Manzhouli in the west, Suifenhe in the east, Heihe in the north, and Changchun in the south. The system and teaching content of these schools are almost the same as in Russia. Z1z
Tsarist Russia has also issued many newspapers and magazines in China as a tool for it to promote "Russian culture". According to statistics in 1909, Russia published dozens of newspapers and magazines in Harbin alone. Among them, the "Far East News" has a larger circulation. According to the Japanese East Asian Association, the Russian government subsidizes this newspaper as much as 170,000 rubles each year.
