In one month, the two armies of Zhao Tianlin and Qin Yiyan pushed Youzhou flatly and entered Jianzhou from east to west.

The territory of the Later Jin Dynasty was nothing more than two pieces.

One is Jianzhou, with a vast territory. The other is some areas under the jurisdiction of the former Tang Hanhai Protectorate and Anbei Protectorate.

Just in terms of region, the territory of the Great Zhou today is far less than that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty. The huge size of the previous Tang Dynasty is unimaginable to later generations.

"New Book of Tang" contains:

"The bones are located in the north of the vast sea in the north. Two wait for the jin to live together. The victory is 4,500 soldiers. The mouth is more than 1,000 people. The grass is lily. The land is famous for horses. The country is connected to the ice sea in the north. The day is long and the evening is short. After the day is gone, the sky is clear. I cooked a sheep blade and it is already ripe, but the east is dawn. It is the place where the sun rises recently."

Ps: "Talent" is "Talent".

What is this? In fact, I cook meat at night. Before the lamb is cooked, it will be clear. But the north is connected to the Binghai and the context is related to it, and you will know where you are talking about.

In fact, people who understand geography should be very clear when reading the last sentence, which describes the situation of polar day in the Arctic Circle.

There is a similar record in "Tongdian": "In Zhenguan, the country of Guli Gan offered horses and made clouds. The country was more than 20,000 miles northwest of the capital, with a short night and a long day. When the sky was dark, the sheep scapula was cooked. It was only then that the east was dawn, which was almost the place where the sun entered."

In the first month of the 21st year of Zhenguan, after Guligan was attached, the Tang Dynasty set up a banish state there, called Xuanquezhou, which was the northernmost state of the Tang Dynasty. The extreme daylight phenomenon can be seen in Xuanquezhou.

And this place was the northern border of the Tang Dynasty.

"Old Book of Tang: Astronomy" also proves this: "In the north, it has only been 15 degrees of landlessness, and it is dusk and lies west of Hai. In the morning, it is located in the east of Chou. It is recommended by a few miles (li). It is already north of the Uighurs and is 9,810 miles south of Luoyang. Then the day of May is extremely long, and it is always clear at night, but the bones and stems are still south of it."

Ps: "li" and "li"

The sun is 15 degrees, dusk is in the west and in the morning, it is estimated that it is 9810 miles away from Luoyang. In May, there is no night.

What does not mean is clear. Only in the Arctic and South Pole Circle will there be a phenomenon of polar day and night.

Even if Xuanquezhou is not in the Arctic Circle, it is not far away.

However, even with clear records in historical books, no one dared to draw like this when drawing ancient maps.

But if the prosperity comes, with these records, I can confidently say, "The Arctic Ocean has been me since ancient times..."

These are all based on legal principles.

Even so, there are still people above the Blue Star shamelessly advocating the Qing Dynasty's land theory.

The Qing Dynasty was indeed strong during the Yongzheng Dynasty, and Yongzheng was indeed a talented and strategic king.

However, it would be a bit too much for the enthronement and detention to be the actual controller after changing the appearance.

In some places, the Qing Dynasty did not collect a single cent of taxes, which is the so-called "territory".

Some people say it is confident, saying that it laid the territorial foundation for China in the prosperous era, and there is a thirty-seven-year-old Republic of China between them.

And by the end of the Qing Dynasty, unless the treaty ceded more than 2 million square kilometers.

In the northeastern region, after the Japanese-Russian War, the North and South Manchuria were divided, Japan's sphere of influence was South Manchuria, Tsarist Russia's sphere of influence was North Manchuria and Nei Qianyuan. The above areas could not be completely independent and practically controlled.

In the Western Regions and outside Qianyuan areas, the Russian army was familiar with it as much as its own family, and they came to eat and drink every now and then.

In the Tubo region, the Britons forced local authorities to sign the Treaty of La Sa, which became the sphere of influence of Great Britain.

Guangdong, Guangxi and Yunnan are the spheres of influence of the French.

Taiwan and Penghu have been separatisted by Japan, and Minzhou has also been classified as the sphere of influence of Japan.

In the Yangtze River Basin, there are the British concessions everywhere, which is considered the sphere of influence of the British.

Is this how the territory is laid?!

The territory lost in war can be recovered by war, but the territory lost by treaties is difficult to recover by war.

Fortunately, although the Republic of China was weak, it was considered a success. World War I and World War II were both victorious countries, which laid a legal foundation for today's prosperous era.

If they fail to defeat, do you really think that the great powers will be willing to return these places?!

...

...

The pioneer of Qin Yiyan's troops was Yang Guo's Tabaiying.

In Youzhou, after meeting Yang Guo, Qi Yuanjing was incorporated into the army by Qin Yiyan. Together with Yang Guo, he became the pioneer of the army and the deputy general of Yang Guo.

It’s not that Qi Yuanjing’s ability is not as good as Yang Guo, but that Yang Qingyuan’s position is much higher than Qi Yuanjing.

Even if Qin Yiyan admires Qi Yuanjing's ability, Yang Guo admires him and can only let him be the deputy general.

However, after entering Jianzhou, Qi Yuanjing discovered that something was wrong.

In such a huge Jianzhou, there are few people.

Yang Guo led the light cavalry to advance a hundred miles and actually encountered only a few small tribes. No, it was not even considered a tribe. At most, it was a settlement of multiple people.

"What's going on?!"

Although Yang Guo has a very keen vision of the battlefield, his strategic vision is still far from mature enough.

Qi Yuanjing also had a slightly frown on his eyebrows.

"General Xiao Yang, why don't you ask a few people!"

"That's all!"

Then he found a settlement again in Baiying, defeated their resistance, and captured several strong men from the Marine.

The Later Jin and the Great Zhou Dynasty were different. Once in war, these young and middle-aged people were the source of troops of the Later Jin Dynasty.

This is also the reason why the Later Jin Dynasty dared to claim to be a million-dollar control.

Qi Yuanjing pulled out the slender sword from his waist and put it between the neck of a man.

"I ask, you answer, and you will have a way out."

The threatened man looked at Qi Yuanjing with disdain.

"Bah! Zhou Zhe, sooner or later, you will die at my hands..."

Before the man could finish his words, a sword flashed by.

He has no chance in his life!

Ci did not take charge of the troops, and Qi Yuanjing did not have so many concerns in the enemy's area.

Then the long sword stained with blood was placed in the second man's throat, "Tell me! Why are there no one in Jianzhou? Is there an ambush??"

"I..." This person glanced at the people around him and had already begun to hesitate.

"Zheng!"

As soon as the blade passed, another corpse fell to the ground.

"I don't think you want to be the third one! Say, where are you going!?"

Yang Guo and Qi Yuanjing had already felt the crisis. There might be a soldier hidden in the dark on the enemy's territory, which was too dangerous.

The blood-stained blade was placed in the third person's throat, and the man with a rat-tailed braid could feel the coldness of the blade.

Death has never been so close to him!

This is a common method Qi Yuanjing used to deal with small groups of Japanese pirates to create mental stress.

Watching life pass by with your own eyes, the next one may be my turn. This sense of fear, even the fanatical Bushido, cannot be restrained.

"I said, I said!"

Seeing Qi Yuanjing so cruel, the young man in Jingle did not dare to hesitate anymore.

"The tribesmen around us have all been captured!"

"Nonsense!" Yang Guo shouted sternly, "Even if young and strong men are arrested, women, children, old and weak should be in the tribe! We have never seen a large tribe along the way! Could it be that everyone, including the tribe, were packed up!?"

"Sir, you're right!"

“…”

Hearing this sentence from the young and middle-aged man of Marceli, Qi Yuanjing and Yang Guo looked at each other.

This situation seems to be a little different from what they imagined.

"You can talk about it carefully."

Qi Yuanjing took back the long knife between Jing Qingqiang's neck.

"About twenty days ago, a group of people came, captured the people used in the tribe, and forced the tribe members to move away. Originally, there should be dozens of tribes of all sizes within a radius of 200 miles, but now none of them are left!"

"Are they the Later Jin army?!" The young man from Jingsheng shook his head.

"Is that a military uniform flag like us?" The young man from Jingsheng still shook his head.

Yang and Qi immediately felt that this was strange.

In this era, population is an important part of national strength, and people from these Marine tribes can become a cavalry with excellent combat power with a little training.

Plundering people, cattle, sheep, and horses are actually increasing their own strength.

"Do you still remember their dress?!" Qi Yuanjing asked.

"They were dressed a bit like Daqian's military uniform, but the weapons in their hands were different from Daqian's."
