C1513 Condemnation (1/2)
Honestly speaking, the attitude that Xiao Letian maintained towards the massacre of the people in the Far East Region was neither pleased nor worried. Of course, he did not wish for such a situation to occur, but there was really nothing he could do about it.
This group of Russian had fully implemented the policy of colonization towards the Far East. What was this policy of colonization? That was to treat the local people as a barbaric people and not as civilized people.
After the beginning of the European The Age of Great Navigation, Europeans divided the other peoples of the world into two categories. One was a civilized people, such as China, the Ottoman Empire, Egypt, India, Japan, Korea … Wait a minute.
To this kind of nation with a history of thousands of years of civilization, they would usually use both civil and martial arts to attack together. They would first send a delegation to pay respects to the dryad Emperor, hoping to negotiate a commercial cooperation through friendly negotiations.
After the conquest, the treaty would be signed quickly in accordance with the diplomatic tradition. In a normal situation of etiquette, the two sides would have to negotiate on a more equal footing.
This was a way to deal with civilized nations, but to barbarian Europeans, it was not that friendly. In the South America's jungle, the Maya and Inca Empire's natives were slaughtered in groups, and their gold and silver were plundered clean.
In the North America, the war with the Indians continued for a hundred years, and eventually, a huge race that controlled the entire North America became a minority.
In Africa, where the slave trade was worse, black people were no different from animals. As for the lower classes in their smaller regions, Europeans even treated them as rare animals that could be seen in zoos.
How could these Russian in the Far East brazenly massacre the Qing Nation's survivors? Why did she rob the wealth of the Chinese without any disguise? Even in the long winter when food was scarce, would they use the natives as two-legged sheep?
In the end, from the bottom of their hearts, they did not see the indigenous people of this land as human beings. Regardless of whether you are a Chinese survivor or a native of the Manchu, let alone the Narcissus, the Orenechun, or the Northern Mongolia … The low degree of civilization allowed this group of Russian to directly classify the people here as barbarians.
It had to be said that this was a tragedy for the Manchuria. As he had imposed a strict protection regime on the people outside of the pass, he had completely blocked all possibilities of the civilized Han people could use to help them develop this land.
The result was that after the Manchu had been in Central Plains for almost 200 years, the majority of Han Chinese had accepted that the Manchu had been in power for a long time. Except for the annual allocation of money and food, all other construction projects had come to a halt.
There were no basic engineering projects, no large-scale cities, no high-value added industries, and even more so, no raw resources development.
In the past two hundred years, aside from Liaoning Province's limited development, a vast area of land did not benefit from the governance of the Qing Dynasty. Everything was still in a savage state.
