two hundred and eighty-eight
After consolidating her power, Catherine II inherited the mantle of Peter the Great and began to expand externally. From 1768 to 1774 and from 1781 to 1791, she
She launched two wars against Turkey, seized the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea coastal areas, annexed the Crimean Khanate, and obtained navigation rights from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean. She also participated in the partition of Poland three times and obtained the Dnieper River for Russia.
Ukraine, Belarus, Lithuania and other places to the west. By the end of the 18th century, although Russia was still far behind Western countries in politics, economy, and culture, due to its vast territory and powerful military power, it had become one of the great powers of Europe.
List.
The continuous foreign wars for many years have consumed a lot of financial and material resources of the Russian Empire, and these burdens have been passed on to the farmers, so the farmers' life is simply worse than death. There is another point, in fact, what we have been talking about before
One thing is that the soldiers in this army are also farmers, so whether we win the war or lose the war, it is just that the farmers will have a hard time if they die. After all, if we win, the farmers will not get any benefits. On the contrary, we will still die in large numbers. And we
As mentioned before, the regime of Catherine II was built on pleasing the nobles. Therefore, the nobles in Russia during this period were extremely vicious. The nobles were squeezing the peasants as if they had completely transformed into human demons.
Anyway, Catherine II condoned this. So from the above factors, it is not difficult to see that at this time, the Russian peasants were really in a state of despair, and finally in 1773
, this led to the largest Pugachev peasant uprising in the entire Russian history! Catherine II took advantage of the rebel army's lack of unified command and the weakness of fighting independently, and suppressed the uprising in two years.
.
We don’t need to explain the so-called suppression in more detail, right? It’s just massacres of peasants. Anyway, peasants do not have any human rights, at least from the perspective of Catherine II.
, these peasants are just a tool of Catherine II. Now the tools are not used as tools, but they want to rebel? So Catherine II must have carried out large-scale massacres, and then what will be left?
The tools that were driven out to death must have felt scared, so they also understood their situation. At this point, this is the so-called success of the suppression. In fact, this kind of thing exists in every country in our world. Don't think that this kind of thing
It's very strange. In fact, for the top leaders of various countries in the world, the people have always been a tool, but now some people like to talk about the so-called human rights with the top leaders. In fact, in my opinion, this is simply too strange and inexplicable.
Yes, I really feel that way.
Finally, let us summarize Catherine II. She was undoubtedly a devil among devils to the people, but she was also one of the most ambitious emperors in Russian history. She had her first child at the age of forty-eight.
The grandson was named Alexander, which meant that he hoped that his grandson would learn from the ancient Alexander the Great and make Russia a great empire spanning Asia, Africa, and Europe. When he was fifty years old, he had a second grandson, named Kang.
Standing, hoping that he would become the conqueror of Constantinople. She even said: If I can live to be two hundred years old, then all of Europe will be mine.
In her later years, Catherine II was still obsessed with establishing Russia's world hegemony and attempted to build a city of this size including six capitals: Petersburg, Moscow, Berlin, Vienna, Constantinople, and Astrakhan.
The Russian Empire also wanted to invade Persia, China and India. However, her ambitions failed to be realized. On November 6, 1796, she died of a stroke at the age of sixty-seven.
At this point in our conversation, we have talked a lot about the situation of the king and even the country, but next I am going to talk a little bit about the monstrous disaster that was caused to the entire Russian peasantry when Catherine II was in power in Russia.
In short, as we said in a short paragraph before, in fact, the people have never had human rights in any sense. The people are just a group of tools for the top management, and the top management also hopes that these tools will always just work hard and never mess up.
You can't have a rebellious mentality even if you speak, so the higher-ups usually carry out large-scale massacres of these tools that pursue the so-called meaning of life. So far in our modern era, many tools have actually found the so-called beautiful meaning of life.
?In fact, in my opinion, these tools are definitely brain shrinkage. If there is an explanation other than brain shrinkage, it is definitely schizophrenia, because these tools are so pitiful that they do not clearly define what they are. But I
I think if this is the case, tools can still find happiness, because ignorance is the greatest happiness!
Okay, let’s end the above topic, and then look at the huge disaster caused by Catherine II to the peasants of the Russian Empire, let’s take a closer look:
We have also talked a little bit about this disaster before, which is the so-called Pugacho Uprising. Specifically, in the middle and late eighteenth century, with the development of the commodity currency economy, capitalist production relations in Russia gradually formed, and the tyrannical serf-feudal system
The system began to decline from the heyday of Peter. In other words, when Peter I was in power, he loved the people. He considered many things for the people, always liberated the people, and treated the people as his children.
.But we also have a saying in ancient China that goes like this, fish is my desire! Bear is also my desire! I can’t have both, so I take the bear! In fact, I made up this sentence, but the original sentence is
I really can’t remember what it looked like. It probably means that you can’t have shark fins and bear paws at the same time, so I chose the bear paws to eat.
Therefore, we all understand that in Russia, their foreign wars have never stopped, and we have discussed repeatedly before that as long as the country fights, civilians will definitely die, because soldiers are civilians. This is different from
There is no comparison at all between the death rate of high-level people and even the death rate of nobles. Another thing is that all military expenditures and other messy expenses are created by farmers. It can be said that farmers are the most important existence in any country.
, but farmers are just tools. We have compared an example before, saying that if we farmers are considered according to the food chain, we are at the lowest level of the food chain. Anyone can destroy or eat them at will. In short, the meaning of farmers' existence is to be eaten.
A concept of destroying or being eaten, or even being used.
Therefore, Russia's current continuous foreign wars have cruelly increased the burden on the peasants, and we must understand that the nobles are enjoying the so-called life, which is extravagant, lustful, and extravagant.
There is another squandering here, but where does this wealth come from? In fact, all the wealth in our world is created by farmers. In fact, I myself call migrant workers farmers, but some of our migrant workers today think that they are
I seem to be very noble, but my concept has always been that high tables and low stools are made of wood, so in the end we can understand that these crazy aristocrats in Russia are increasing the burden on farmers when the country is at war, but these aristocrats
They did not pity the peasants, they were just a group of tools anyway. Therefore, in order to maintain their own high-quality life, these Russian aristocrats were the extravagant, extravagant, extravagant and extravagant things we mentioned before, and then they
The more vicious exploitation of the Russian peasants, in short, will definitely lead to the Russian peasants not having enough to eat, not having enough clothes to cover their bodies, and even working hard every day, but they end up like this again, and those who don't even have to
People who work are enjoying what they call the meaning of life, but how do you say this? In fact, it is still the mainstream in our era today, because this is the essence of capitalism.
But why do the top leaders of the country ignore capitalism and promote it on a large scale? In fact, the so-called capitalism is just a tool for the top leaders of the country to collect money. This is the same concept as the Christian church we discussed before. In fact, this is not the case at all.
It’s a concept of changing the soup without changing the medicine. It’s just that the church is amassing money with complete nonsense and even fraud, while capitalism is exploiting the wealth and life of farmers with absolute legalization certificates given by high-level officials. But if
If we really want to understand this kind of thing, for example, when Constantine designated Christianity as the state religion, Christianity was just like capitalism and was completely legal. It was just a matter of the king's words. So far we have
It can be understood that the so-called legality or illegality is just a word of the king.
Some people don’t understand this truth, so let’s give a simple example. For example, the top brass in Russia need to fight a war and need a lot of food. Originally, the taxed grain should be 30% of the farmers’ annual harvest, but now the top brass in Russia need a piece of paper.
The document said that the weight should be increased by 50%, because a war is going to be fought. This is completely legal, because everything the high-level officials said is legal. In short, they have their reasons. After all, if the war cannot be fought, the whole of Russia will be
No more, so we people can’t find any loopholes in this situation. In fact, if we really need to find loopholes in this kind of thing, the loopholes are huge. It’s just that some of us have found them and are unwilling to speak out. Everyone understands
Just look at this concept.
So at present, Russian farmers are being tortured and treated inhumanely, but aren’t Russian farmers human beings? No! They are all human beings, whether from the perspective of DNA or from our macroscopic perspective on the earth.
Biologically speaking, Russian peasants are real human beings. They are not slaves of the nobility, nor are they just tools that are not allowed to speak in high-level thinking. Since they are human beings, they must have the special characteristics of us humans.
, that is the consciousness of autonomy, so these Russian peasants could no longer bear it when they were starved of food, not clothed, and even died in large numbers while working, and then they chose to resist, which is generally
