C1604 traitor (1/2)

Are Yi Shan and T?pchin traitor? What exactly is the secret behind the signing of the treaty? This secret account gave the answer.

Ten years ago, when the Russian Army went along the Black Dragon River and bombarded the Shizheng, why did Yi Shan surrender? Why did he sign a treaty of disgrace?

Yi Shan's answer was that the foreign invaders were hard to defend against, and if not for the fact that they were willing to put their lives on the line, they would not be able to fight back! After all, the Imperial Court had suffered losses in front of the foreigners time and time again, and the fear of the sea had formed in their hearts.

But was that really the case?

From the weapons and equipment of the countries ten years ago, it could be considered as just being out of the factory. Most of the army was equipped with a Mini Bullet Rifle, and their firing speed was slow and weak.

The same went for cannons. Most of them were pre-loaded musket s, and the gunpowder they used were old black gunpowder s. Although there were actual bullets fired by flowering bomb s, they were not mainstream.

At that time, the battleships were all wooden hull battleships, and the main trend was for the sail to make small use of the steam engine.

This kind of army was undoubtedly lagging behind. Maybe the defending army of the Shizheng really couldn't defeat them, but if they couldn't, then it meant that they couldn't.

How destructive could a solid cannon be to a solid ramming wall? Is the advantage in numbers on the Qing Dynasty's side? The strategy was gone?

Even Weng Tonghe who had never led his men before understood the principle of strategy. Could it be that Yi Shan and the others did not understand?

At that time, the intention of the Tsar sending Expeditionary forces was to take advantage of the chaos to scare the Qing Dynasty, the army did not have much transport! At that time, even if you, Yi Shan, were to fight and retreat, use your land for time, use your time to deplete the enemy's supply, the one who wins in the end would definitely be Qing Dynasty.

This logic was not hard to understand, why did Russian surrender after firing a few shots? After you surrender, you can sign a treaty for over a million square kilometers and you give up?

Things that were abnormal were demons!

In fact, it was not easy for Yi'e to defeat the Russian on the battlefield back then, but using his home ground advantage to obtain the final victory was not a problem.

At that time, the outside of the pass was completely different from the one in the future. This was a completely undeveloped primitive wasteland, with hills that crisscrossed the mountains and dense forests. There were only a few paths that could be passed by soldiers.

If he really wanted to resist, he could have relied on the city, the pass, and the forest to block him. It was fine for a Shizheng to hold out for three to four months, but if they could not break through, they would retreat. They would burn their farmland, their granary, and starve to death just like that.

If you dare to go inland? It was very simple, they had to mobilize the local garrison and hunters to disturb them, to cut down the huge trees and block the road, the fire attack, the night assault, they to torture them to death, and by the time the Russian attacked the Qiqihar City, it would probably already be winter, and at that time, the ice would also be able to freeze them to death.

Wasn't this how the home battles fought? Space for time, time to consume the enemy's energy, finally the fat thin, thin drag to death.

It was worth mentioning that Lin Zexu's strategy back when he was guarding Guangdong was very correct. A wall to clear the wilderness! In any case, there are tens of millions of square kilometers of countries behind me, and I'm not worried about food, food, or soldiers.

Your British battleship is floating on the sea, how do you solve this problem? How could she replenish the energy consumed by the Arms and ammunition? After a long time, you will end up with a plague or something?

If the Dao Guang Emperor was a bit tougher, he would continue to use Lin Zexu to contain his temporary failure. Furthermore, do not be afraid of the British Fleet's feint to the north, as long as you are a bit more daring, the First Opium War would not lose, it would definitely be a draw.

It's a pity that there are no ifs in history, and there aren't any under Shizheng either!
