Why did Kangxi abandon Lake Baikal in the heyday of the Qing Dynasty?

Because he felt that such a distant place was useless, and the cost of sending troops to garrison was much higher than the benefits, and it was better to obtain other benefits from this.

Although the country was strong during the Kangxi period, they did not know much about whether West Baikal was rich or not, so they gave up Baikal.

Because the weather there was very cold at that time, it was not suitable for farmers to work harder, so I gave up.

I think it may be that they don't think that Baikal has any value, although it seems to us to be very rich.

You may not know that Lake Berga has so many benefits, and if you take a long-term view, you will not give up the fat in your hands.

It may be that they feel that Baikal is not of much value, so they abandon Baikal and look for other available resources.

Perhaps the leaders at that time did not see the value of this lake, so they gave up this piece.

Since Lake Baikal had not yet been developed at that time, they did not give up because they did not think that the place would be of great use.

I think it may be that the things in Baikal that were found in the Qing Dynasty were not very useful, so they gave up on Baikal.

At that time, Lake Baikal may not have been developed, and it was probably not clear how much it would cost to develop it, so it was probably abandoned.

Kangxi may not know the Baikal region, thinking that it is a wild place, if he has been there, he will definitely pay attention to it.

Because of the Qing Dynasty cuisine, the Dzungar cuisine, the Dzungar did not dare to provoke the Tsarist Russia, but dared to provoke the Qing Dynasty, it can be seen that the Qing Dynasty had many dishes.

China is a large agricultural country, and the climate of Lake Baikal is cold and uninhabitable.

First, Lake Baikal is too far away from Beijing, and if you want to send troops to defend it, it will consume a lot of manpower and material resources, resulting in a great waste of resources, which is completely unnecessary. Second, there were no people living on Lake Baikal at that time, and the Qing rulers considered it to be a wasteland, and there was no need to fight for it.

There were no people living near the shores of Lake Baikal, and it was too far from the political center of the country to be controlled, and the Qing Dynasty at that time was in internal and external troubles, and there was no time to take care of Lake Belga, so it simply gave up.

Because the location of Lake Baikal was too remote, and there were not many manpower and material resources to provide for the Qing Dynasty, it was finally abandoned by the Qing court.

The Qing Dynasty abandoned Lake Baikal because Russia was also strong at that time, and the Qing Dynasty still had the Dzungar problem unresolved, so it had to compromise.

First, Baikal is too far from the political center to be controlled. Secondly, there are no people living on the shores of Lake Baikal. Third, there are too many internal and external troubles.

Preface. Ancient China was divided into four seas, east, west, north and south, so there is a saying that "the four seas rise to peace". Specifically, the ancient East China Sea refers to the current Yellow Sea and the East China Sea, the West Sea is the area of the Beibu Gulf of Guangxi, and the South China Sea is the South China Sea, so what does the North Sea refer to?

After the Battle of Yaxa, the shores of Lake Baikal were handed over by Kangxi.

In fact, the ancient Beihai, refers to the current Baikal region, as early as the Tang Dynasty, Baikal has been included in the territory of the Tang Dynasty, since then the ownership of Lake Baikal has changed several times, to the Qing Dynasty and returned to the jurisdiction of the Qing Dynasty, but in the 28th year of Kangxi, after the Battle of Yaxa, the Qing Dynasty lost the ownership of Lake Baikal, obviously won a big victory in the Battle of Yaxa, no need to cede land and pay compensation, why did Kangxi give up this land to others?

During the Kangxi period, the military strength of the Qing court was very strong, whether in terms of combat effectiveness or the number of combatants, the military strength of the Qing court at that time was at its peak, but why did Kangxi make such a concession? Is it really afraid of Tsarist Russia and compromised? In fact, this is not the case, and it is not difficult to find from the specific terms that in fact, the areas that need to be divided discussed by the Qing court and Tsarist Russia are all areas that have not been negotiated before, and Lake Baikal is included in the cracks.

Kangxi is not confused, but a shrewd move.

In this way, the Treaty of Nebuchu was not an unequal treaty of land cession and compensation, but a treaty that advocated the division of terra nullius, and Lake Baikal was one of the "terra nullius", so why was Lake Bekal divided to Tsarist Russia? There are three main reasons here.

First, Lake Baikal has not been inhabited by Chinese for a long time, and for the Qing court, dividing Lake Baikal to Tsarist Russia has no demographic and economic losses, on the contrary, the Qing court can also use this as a condition in exchange for some more affordable benefits.

Second, Lake Baikal was far away from the prosperous and well-developed Central Plains seepage zone, and the traffic was very inconvenient at that time, so it was also very inconvenient for the Qing court to manage the Baikal area.

Thirdly, there are no towns in the region, and the population is very sparse, let alone tax. For the Qing court, Lake Baikal may not be worth the expense of management.

Judging from Kangxi's shrewdness, he is definitely unwilling to do such a money-losing transaction, Kangxi's political talent is so outstanding, and the decisions he makes have his own considerations. So the abandonment of Baikal is not a foolish move, but on the contrary, it is very smart.
