As a time traveler, Zhu Zilong knows it well.

Russia originated from the Principality of Russia and obtained facts in the mid-16th century, which is around the time of the Ming Dynasty. By the time of the later 21st century, there was a total of less than 500 years of founding history!

Compared with China's thousands of years of history, it seems to be indescribable.

Today, Russia is only about one-tenth of that in later generations, and its land area is just the size of it.

The population is not as large as that of Fuso Japan, only more than 10 million.

However, if Zhu Zilong does not interfere with it now, it will not take long.

By the time it develops to 1914, Russia, which has been developing for less than 400 years, will have more than 20 million square kilometers of land and a population of more than 160 million.

Throughout history, no nation has achieved this. Even the Yuan Dynasty cannot do it!

The most important thing is that the territory swallowed by Russia has been actually controlled, and in this process, the population of the main ethnic group of Russia has increased like an explosion through massacre, integration, and migration of ethnic minorities.

In a word, in front of Russia, the British Empire, which did not set in the future, was embarrassed to look up. (Unlike the colonies, it was a complete occupation.)

Before he knew that time travel was happening, Zhu Zilong also fantasized that one day China could take back the lost land from Russia!

Now that Zhu Zilong has traveled through time, he has not deliberately avoided this issue.

But I have been doing the internal situation of the Ming Dynasty before and I am unable to check it out.

Now, it is naturally time to analyze, understand, or even learn, some of the advantages of the Russian nation. Turning the strengths of the enemy into your own strengths is what smart people do.

(Of course, Russia has entered old age in the modern 21st century.)

This heroic nation has finally exhausted his potential and entered old age from his prime. If Russia is lost again, the fig leaf of PuX (Beijing) will inevitably become China's resource supply land!

It can be regarded as the thirty years of Hedong and the thirty years of Hexi, and the feng shui has changed in turn.

PuX (Beijing) has not been there yet. The management method of this army has made progress, but is only changing the way of survival of this army. The fighting spirit of the entire Russian nation is slowly fading, and the foundation on which Russia relies on for its founding is gradually disappearing, and a new foundation has not been formed!

A nation that is used to picking up swords and guns, in the modern 21st century, is there any way to survive in addition to selling arms and energy?

Will the Third World War? Then the US and China may join forces to kill him.

Because in the modern 21st century, a real war cannot be fought. One fight will lead to the demise of the world. In order to prevent this from happening, even countries that were once enemies will join forces to destroy the people who provoke the world war.

Zhu Zilong stood on the border, observing and inspecting back and forth for a whole day.

From time to time, he listened to reports from the Jinyiwei and Wanli Killing members next to him from time to time. Ma Xiaosan and others who were following Zhu Zilong didn't quite understand why their master attached so much importance to an extremely cold place.

The Principality of Russia?

Is it powerful?

Ma Xiaosan was a little puzzled. They also knew about the information from Russia. It was just a small country, with a population less than one-tenth of that of the Ming Dynasty.

Can the master care so much, is there any hidden secrets here?

It cannot be said that Ma Xiaosan and others are a little short-sighted, after all, they are not time travelers.

To be honest, the Principality of Russia at this time, if it were any Ming official, they would be like many foreign countries, far inferior to the Ming Dynasty.

In addition, it is a bit far apart, so you have to pass thousands of kilometers of grassland before you can reach it. Moreover, most of the territory of the Principality of Russia is a cold geographical area.

It is really to make most of the Han people in the Central Plains who live in the Ming Dynasty and who are like spring all year round, unable to raise interest in caring about Russia.

And if Zhu Zilong was not a time traveler, he would probably have the same idea as them!

Even if Zhu Zilong is a time traveler, why has he been in the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years and has only begun to care about Russia's development until now?

In fact, there is a reason, because the Ming Dynasty had many difficulties in the past and was unable to take care of it!

The second is that at that time there was an Later Jin and Mongolian tribe in the middle to deal with it. It was equivalent to an additional buffer zone!

Three is that even now, the Russians' development in North Asia has just advanced to the Lena River Basin. The first Russian city in North Asia was built, Yakutsk Castle, where the Tsar established the Governor's Mansion.

The Buryat Mongols were still fighting against the Baikal area. The primitive Buryats may not be able to defeat the Russian firearms. However, it was basically a dream for the Russians to use the primitive firearms and the morale of the fighting nation to defeat the Buryats in a short period of time.

-

If there was no big butterfly effect in history, the Russians would have to occupy the Baikal area in about ten years.

Then, in the original history, a border conflict was initiated against the Qing Dynasty. Finally, the Treaty of Nebchu was signed with the Qing Dynasty. This was their first retreat in Asia, but they still seized the area east of Lake Baikal.

Next, when the first tsar died.

Peter's sister Sophia monopolizes power, and the brothers fight to the death, and Russia has another two or three years of civil unrest.

After doing this, even if Zhu Zilong does nothing, Russia will have only about twelve years of security.

He could have taken the time to control the surrounding areas of the Ming Dynasty first. He built the empire like an iron barrel, waited for them to come with great difficulty, and then beat them and fled in panic.

Then, with the momentum of sweeping, those who are famous abroad will destroy Russia with the help of the whole country without other hidden dangers.

It would be impossible to attack Russia now.

However, it is absolutely not supported by the Ming Dynasty and is completely losing business.

It was equivalent to the fact that he lost money and fought thousands of miles in a military force to invade Russia's poor and cold land.

Once the loss is too great, the sky of the Ming Dynasty will collapse.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zilong finally gave up and planned to attack Russia now.

After explaining to the members of Wanlik, he focused on inquiring about Russian intelligence. Then he brought his entourage this time and began his work arrangements in the three northeastern provinces.

-

When the car arrived in Shenyang, Zhu Zilong only rested for one night.

The next day, I directly inspected some places on the plan, and then went to inspect the army. After having a clear idea, I went straight to the military factory.

People all think that Shandong is Zhu Zilong’s starting base, but they don’t know that in recent years, Zhu Zilong has actually moved many industries to the three northeastern provinces, and here it is here. Perhaps, it has been copied!

After the founding of New China in later generations, the three northeastern provinces were the first heavy industrial bases built after the founding of New China.

Major industrial projects such as steel, energy, chemicals, heavy machinery, automobiles, shipbuilding, aircraft, and military industries, which are laid the initial foundation for China's industrialization, so it is called the "cradle of the industry in New China"!

Such an important place was used to be placed on Houjin's hands and was just used to raise horses, which was simply a waste of resources.
