In the vast land of China, there is a special ethnic group, they are not native Chinese sons and daughters, but they regard China as their motherland.
In the War of Resistance Against Japan, they fought bloodily, and the firm shouts of killing made the Japanese frightened.
So who is the only alien nation on Chinese soil?What are the historical ties between them and China?
The first time the Russians appeared on the land of China can be traced back to the Yuan Dynasty, when there were already records of correspondence and **Not only on the **, but also militarily, it is recorded that the Yuan Dynasty once attacked the ** territory of Siberia.
After the Yuan Dynasty occupied Siberia, the Khan formed a Russian army in the area according to local conditions, and also named them Semuren.
But history is constantly evolving, the Yuan Dynasty only existed for 98 years, and the areas it once conquered were recovered by other countries, including Siberia, which finally returned to Russian hands.
However, the connection between China and the Russians has not been severed, and the name Semu is relatively unfamiliar to many people, so the name "Rakshasa" is more familiar.
The name "rakshasa" appears in Qing dynasty books, and during the Qing dynasty, people called those who came in during the Yuan dynasty as rakshasas.
The reason why they were named Rakshasa is because at that time, the Qing ** suffered **invasion, and there must be prisoners in the battle between the two sides, and these **captives were sent to Beijing by the Qing ** and incorporated into the Eight Banners.
It is said that some of the ethnic Russians in the Beijing area with the surnames He, Luo, Yao, Tian and He were the descendants of the captives at that time, and these ethnic Russians were the early people who lived on Chinese soil, and by the late Qing Dynasty, a large number of Russians came to China.
In the late Qing Dynasty, the political situation was turbulent and the Qing Dynasty suffered serious blows, including the invasion of the Qing Dynasty.
The tsar ** invaded the northeast of China first, and the late Qing ** was busy with civil strife and foreign wars and had no time to take care of the situation in the northeast, so it also gave ** an opportunity to take advantage of it and march into the army on a large scale.
After occupying the northeast, the Russian army was not satisfied, and even started the idea of Xinjiang.
The Russian army frantically marched into Xinjiang and set up new colonies in Xinjiang, the essence of the war is the plundering of resources, after the Russian army occupied Xinjiang and the northeast, a large number of ** residents also moved to China.
After arriving in China, Russians began to build buildings, houses, and even intermarry with local Chinese.
Not long after, a new race was spontaneously formed, because of the physical superiority of the Russians, they got a lot of living resources in the northeast and Xinjiang, and their lives were also impressive.
However, the situation was turbulent, the world situation was not optimistic, and after the First World War, the Tsar's ** army declined, and the situation in the Soviet Union was imminent.
After the October Revolution, the Soviets came to power, the White Russians were defeated, and at the same time, the defeated army, the White Bandits, fled across the border to China, wanting to seek help from China.
At this time, China was in a serious situation of warlords revolting at home and enemy attacks from outside, and there was no time to take care of these fleeing Russians.
So these Russians settled in Northeast China and XinjiangSo is the arrival of more and more Russians a blessing or a curse for China?
It is said that when the Belarusian army was stationed in Xinjiang, Jin Shuren, the person in charge of Xinjiang, opened the city to welcome guests.
It turned out that the people of Jinshu considered that these Russians were all from military backgrounds and had a strong physique, and they might have an unexpected role in the turbulent situation.
It is also true that the Qing Dynasty during that period was seriously corrupt, and China was almost in the hands of the Western powers.
Jin Shuren had long been disappointed by the corrupt Qing **, so he took in these defeated Russian soldiers and formed a new army, the Naturalized Army.
Another reason why Jin Shuren set up the army was that he wanted to take power himself, but Jin Shuren did not have the ability, and after he established the army, he began to collect taxes violently and with extremely cruel methods, and Jin Shuren's atrocities were also resisted by the people of Xinjiang.
Rebel armies have been set up in many regions of Xinjiang, and these people are aggressively preparing to welcome the naturalized army, but they did not expect the naturalized army to take the initiative to sue for peace.
It turned out that the Naturalized Army had long disagreed with Kim Shuren's violent acts, so the leaders of the two armies reached an agreement to overthrow Kim Shuren's rule together.
It is precisely because of this behavior of the naturalized army that the people of Xinjiang are impressed by it, and they no longer reject these foreign Russians.
Xinjiang people and these Russians began to live in a friendly way, and the Russians also took advantage of their height and weight to show their strength and work the territory of Xinjiang.
As a result, at the National Congress held after the founding of the Communist Party of China, the Russians were officially classified as one of the Chinese nations, calling them ethnic Russians.
After receiving official recognition, these ethnic Russians have been bent on taking root in China and making China their only homeland.
Therefore, during the Sino-Japanese War, ethnic Russians also made great contributions to the war.
It turned out that after the start of the War of Resistance Against Japan, in order to defend against foreign enemies, the leaders of the Russian ethnic group regrouped the previous naturalized army and divided it into two parts.
One of them was stationed in Xinjiang and became the regular army of Xinjiang to defend against foreign enemies, while the other part was put into the Northeast Battlefield to resist the puppet Manchurian ** army head-onThe Russians were valiant in the war and inflicted many heavy blows on the Japanese army.
In terms of logistics, the Russians also contribute their part.
At that time, China was facing the dilemma of lack of materials, and ethnic Russians took the initiative to find the Soviet Union ** to ask for support.
It is said that at that time, the Soviet Union also promised to give China aid, but the materials they supported were marked in Russian.
At this time, thanks to the enthusiastic translation of ethnic Russians, these materials were able to be used correctlyIn addition to the ethnic Russian soldiers who fought on the battlefield, the ethnic Russian women and the elderly in the rear also made great efforts to achieve this.
The Russians inherited the heroic and fearless spirit of the Russians, and not only the soldiers fought bloody battles on the battlefield, but also the elderly and women were not idleThey have made use of the land advantages of the northeast and their own tenacious spirit to work hard to open up land and develop agriculture and animal husbandry.
Thanks to their efforts, the squadron received a large amount of food and supplies, and most of the food and clothing problems were solved.
It is said that the naturalized army during the Anti-Japanese War made many people fearful, including the Soviet Union**.
So much so that after the end of the Anti-Japanese War, the Soviet Union also had a lot of communication with the Chinese side, the purpose of which was to disband the naturalized army to eliminate their worries.
According to statistics, thousands of ethnic Russians spilled their blood on Chinese soil during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.
And after the end of the war, the naturalized army was disbanded, and they did not choose to return to the Soviet Union, but continued to stay in China, making China their only motherland.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, ethnic Russians were officially classified as one of the Chinese ethnic groups.
China has also changed from 55 ethnic groups to 56 ethnic groups now, and the reason why ethnic Russians can be accepted by the Chinese is also because they know how to report favors.
Nowadays, as the world situation gradually stabilizes, ethnic Russians are becoming more and more Xi to life in China.
Many of them began to intermarry with native ChineseThe relationship with the local Chinese people has also become more and more harmonious, and it has been fully integrated into the big Chinese family.
Nowadays, the rapid development of the times and the integration of various ethnic groups have also become the main theme of the times.
In the process of ethnic integration, we can learn from each other's strengths, enrich Chinese culture, and accelerate social development, which has laid a good foundation for China's diversified development, and both Russians and other ethnic groups are an inseparable part of the Chinese nation.
