Liu De, who calmed down, wrote as smoothly as he said about the Three Kingdoms. Whether his life can be saved depends on this map. Therefore, he painted very carefully and stopped from time to time to think hard, trying not to make any mistakes in the terrain he drew. When he was drawing the map, Zhao Qiang, Guo Fei, Zhang Yi and others were all around him, and he did not dare to breathe, for fear of disturbing Liu De. Their faces were much nervous than Liu De.

In Liu De's eyes, this map was just a toy that he drew to pass the time when he was talking nonsense. In Zhao Qiang and others, this map was a reliance on their life and death and whether they could stand firm outside the pass. In history, various dynasties have regarded maps as confidential things, and they are not easy to use. It is no exaggeration to say that even ordinary people who do not know the military strategy at all, as long as they have a map in their hands, they can command the army well, not for anything else, just because they know where the army should go. In ancient times, when the information was extremely unobstructed, being able to know his location and surrounding terrain was the biggest advantage.

Guo Fei and the others came to this Shoyi City with Zhao Qiangru opening their eyes and blindly coming to the north. Except for Shoyi City and Songshan Fort, they knew about other places. This kind of knowledge was very fatal. They didn't know which direction the enemy would come from. Once they had a map, they could convert passively to active, and they could accurately kill before the enemy would go. Therefore, everyone was breathing with their breath, quietly lying on the ground, drawing the prototype of the map stroke by stroke.

After touching about half of the incense stick, Liu De breathed a sigh of relief and stood up from the ground with some fatigue. His knees were already sore because he had been kneeling there for a long time. Without moving his calf, he respectfully presented the map to Zhao Qiang who had been watching him without turning his eyes.

"The map has been drawn, please check it out." After handing the map to Zhao Qiang, Liu De took a step back obediently, lowered his head slightly, acted submissively and very consciously.

When Zhao Qiang took the map, he was already very excited. He spread the map in his hand a little out of control and couldn't wait to pass. At a glance, a familiar smell suddenly surged into his heart. It was it, it!

What Liu De drew was only a topographic map outside the gate, and it was completely different from the three northeastern provinces that Zhao Qiang visited later, and did not look like a rooster head at all. Regarding this difference, Zhao Qiang understood that the rooster map in later generations was just a map after being castrated! On the side of the rooster head, large tracts of national territory have become Russia's territory!

The country map is definitely not a rooster! Zhao Qiang thought sadly with this map in front of him.

In order to distinguish between the outside of the pass, Liu De specially circled a capital in the first place, and then circled a Shanhaiguan in the north. He went to the entire map outside the pass, and marked many place names with different sizes. He also drew in North Korea, which bordered Shengjing. However, he simply drew it, which was much different from the actual terrain. However, Zhao Qiang did not care about this mistake. He only cared about how much territory the Qing Dynasty actually controlled outside the pass, and where the city was built and the government ruled.

Shengjing, Kaiyuan, Tieling, Jilin, Ningguta, Heilongjiang, familiar words leaped into Zhao Qiang's eyes. Zhao Qiang shook his fingers slowly from the two words Shengjing, constantly moving northward. He wanted to know how big it is now outside the pass.

The location of Shengjing is too obvious, that is, Chenyang, Liaoning in later generations. However, the area under Shengjing is surprisingly large. On Liu De’s map, the northernmost end of Shengjing is the end of Siberia, with two large words "Beihai".

Compared with Shengjing, Jilin is smaller, but its area is more than two or three times larger than Jilin Province in later generations. Sea Cucumber Wei, Shuangchengzi and other places are all included in it, extending northward to the end of Siberia. In addition, Liu De also carefully painted an island in the easternmost sea of ​​Jilin. Although it was not named, Zhao Qiang knew it was Sakhalin Island.

Although Ningguta is the northernmost military and political point outside the pass, it is located in the territory of Shengjing. Like Shengjing City, Liu De has drawn a large circle to show the importance of Ningguta. And in the map drawn by Liu De, the north of Ningguta is a city stronghold with no Chinese characters except for the word "Three surnames", but it is only a blurred mountain trend chart. Zhao Qiang stared at that time, Liu De told him very tactfully that the Qing court did not set up any important cities to the north of Ningguta. It was just like managing the Oroqen people, establishing some Hadas or granting some official positions to those natives, so that they could manage themselves, as long as they hand in tributes every year and sending young and strong people to the flag to garrison. The northernmost places only belong to the territory of the Qing Dynasty in name only, and the Qing court did not send any official and soldiers, and even did not know which ethnic groups there were.

Zhao Qiang said nothing after hearing this. Heilongjiang was the largest map. The area of ​​Heilongjiang was comparable to that of Shengjing and Jilin. Most of its jurisdiction was located in the territory of later Russians. For the purpose of the map, Liu De specially marked two points west of Heilongjiang, one was the Chechen Khan tribe in Mongolia, and the other was the Maoming'an tribe in Mongolia. In the southern part of Heilongjiang, the words Zhelim League and Korqin Right Wing Banner were also marked. In addition, he also drew a winding river trend chart, and wrote a small line of words "The newly built Heilongjiang City in the imperial court is called Aihun". This Aihun City Liu De indicated it in circles, which was obviously very important, but he drew several x along the river, and did not use the words to explain it with the words.

“What is it drawn here?”

Zhao Qiang didn't understand what this x meant. Liu De approached him and saw that Zhao Qiang was asking about the cities he drew in Heilongjiang. He hurriedly explained: "When it comes to the hero, it was a city built by the Rakshasa people. The villain didn't know what the name of the city was, so he made a fork." After a pause, he told Zhao Qiang: "The heroes don't know. The Rakshasa people have occupied our Qing territories since the Chongde period. The Heilongjiang area is mostly wilderness and very few people, so what power is here in the court, like Shengjing and the northern end of Jilin, they let them die. I don't know what the Rakshasa people are, and they build forts along the river. I really don't know what they are trying to do." When Liu De said this, he looked puzzled. He came to know why he was so confused about the Rakshasa people.

One of these x must be Jaxar. Zhao Qiang didn't have time to explain the Russian intentions to Liu De. After thinking about it, he asked Liu De: "Where is Songshan Fort? Why can't I find it?"

"Oh, that's it."

Liu De pointed at Zhao Qiang's map with a flattering look and said with a small note, "Hero, Songshan Fort is here. The reason why the villain has no mark is because the status of Songshan Fort is important. It is just a settlement of Barhu people. Although the Dutong Yamen sent a subordinate Soren troops to garrison and were preparing to build a new city there, it would be better to hide it from the heroes. General Bahai didn't want to build a city here at all, so this place has no effect on the officials in Ningguta. If He Bao from Zhenghuang Banner sent someone to report the news this time, the Dutong Yamen would probably not know about it after half a year."

"Bahai doesn't want to build a new city, why did he send us to build it?"

After hearing what Liu De said, Zhao Qiang was also confused. If Ba Hai was unwilling to build a city in Songshan Fort, why would he send the young and strong Wu army here again? Yelong and Du Lai repeatedly emphasized that it would only last one year?

Liu De was overjoyed when he heard this. The more confused Zhao Qiang was, the more he could show himself and deal with it. It was secondary to saving his life. Wu Ni could not say that he could reward him. Liu De was happy and made a gesture and said, "It's not just a deal." He pointed at him mysteriously: "The villain heard Shu Mulu mention it, and said to the emperor..."

Just as he was about to continue speaking, he heard Zhao Qiang snorting coldly, Liu De was very tactful and quickly changed his words: "Chao Mingzhu and others wrote to Kangxi that they wanted to fight against the Rakshasa people in the north, but because there was still a Zheng family in the south, Kangxi was not in a hurry to deal with the Rakshasa people. However, if the Rakshasa people acted so recklessly, it would be too harmful to the prestige of the Celestial Empire. Moreover, Mingzhu was also an important official of Kangxi, so Kangxi had to listen to his opinions, so he issued an order to let Bahai prepare for war, choose an important place to build a city and stockpile food and grass first, and after the south was pacified, he would be transferred to the north."

Speaking of this, Liu De pointed to the map: "This Aihun City was only built last year, but it was the matter of the Heilongjiang governor, so Bahai couldn't control it. After Bahai received the order of Kangxi, although he was unwilling to do so, he had to act like this, so he chose Songshan Fort to build it."

After hearing what Liu De said, Zhao Qiang realized that Ba Hailai was also a confused insect. He really didn't know how he was the Ningguta General. I vaguely remember that in Shunzhi, Ba Hai had led troops to fight the Russians and achieved "victory results" of killing dozens of enemies. Now he must be old and has no ambitions anymore. He felt that it was just a border trouble. Moreover, there was no need for the Rakshasa people to take back the place they occupied, so he ignored it.

With Kangxi's full energy on Taiwan, there were also officials in charge of the government disdainful of it. It was difficult for the Russians to grow stronger. Zhao Qiang thought so.

Seeing that Songshan Fort was not too far from Aihui City, if the judgment was correct, Zhao Qiang guessed that Songshan Fort should be around the border of Heilongjiang in later generations, and Shouyi City was closer to the northwest, and it was already within the territory of the Russians. From the map, Shouyi City had already left the jurisdiction of Ningguta, and the Qing army in Heilongjiang could not control this place, because from the distance from those few x to Aihui City, Heilongjiang was facing the pressing of the Russians at this time, so he was afraid of barely protecting himself.

After careful re-examination, Zhao Qiang felt a little moved, because the Qing army cities marked by Liu De were pitifully few on the map, and the cities were gathered in the later Liaoning in the southern part of Shengjing, and about 60% of the territory could only be said to be the nominal territory of the Qing Dynasty, and there was no actual control. The Russians built a few cities from the Heilongjiang River Basin, and the Qing army had only one Aihun City to show how weak the Qing Dynasty controlled this land. In addition, it was quite ironic that in Liu De's map, there was still a large area of ​​Qing land north of the Heilongjiang River Basin that was equivalent to a territory under Shengjing. Unfortunately, the Qing Dynasty could not control the Heilongjiang River Basin, so why not talk about it?

Zhao Qiang knew that later generations had Man Yi and Braided Slaves advocated "I am the Qing Dynasty" and "Kanggan Prosperity" with an area of ​​more than 13 million square kilometers. Compared with the map of the late Ming Dynasty, such a large land area is naturally more than three times larger than that of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, it advocated the power of Man Qing and the insignificance of the Ming Dynasty. However, in Zhao Qiang came, this was simply a dissolution of the concept.

Zhao Qiang, for those who were compared with the territory of the Ming and Qing dynasties, why did the Ming Dynasty use the so-called actual control area in the later period, and the Qing Dynasty use the so-called territory in the prosperous period? This is unfair in itself. As we all know, the largest territory of the Ming and Qing dynasties was in the Yongle era. Why did the Manchu Dynasty not use the Yongle era when comparing the territory of the Ming and Qing dynasties, and did he have to compare the map of the later period? Just deceive himself.

It takes a process for a dynasty to rise, to prosperity, to decline and demise. Only in its peak period is the time when the country is at its greatest territory. In the later period, when the country declines, many marginal areas are often snatched away by other powerful countries. Since ancient times, all dynasties have been like this. There is nothing strange about it. The actual control of the Ming Dynasty could not be maintained at the same size from beginning to end, and the Qing Dynasty was the same. This kind of thing could not be avoided even by the Tang Dynasty.

The Manchu people like to explain how small the territory was, and how big the territory was in the late Qing Dynasty? Without other times, take the territory of the Qing Dynasty the day before Puyi abdicated as a pity. The day before Puyi abdicated, all the provinces in mainland China, except Zhili, all the other dozen provinces in mainland China had declared independence and did not belong to the Qing Dynasty. In other words, at this time, the territory of the Qing Dynasty was only Zhili, except Beijing City, which was too far from the territory of the Ming Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty still had half of the southern territory. When thinking about this comparison, Zhao Qiang really wanted to slap those who advocated the forums every day. Are you still ashamed?

Zhao Qiang came to some information in his later generations, and knew that the so-called territorial area of ​​13 million square kilometers in the Qing Dynasty was after Qianlong. That is to say, the area in the Kangxi period was actually very small. If someone said that the area in the Kangxi period was more than 13 million, then it was pure nonsense. Not to mention anything else, just talk about the Northeast region where the Jurchens became prosperous. The Ming Dynasty's most controlling force in this area was suspected to be the Chengzu era. You should know that the area controlled by the Nurkandus in the east to Kuye Island in the Pacific Ocean, the west to Buryat Mongolia in the Lake Baikal area, the north to include the entire Tungus residential area, and the south to border the Liaodong Dusi.

This Nuergandusi is more than twice the area of ​​the map drawn by Liu De in front of him. After sighing for a while, Zhao Qiang turned around and put the map on the table. Strictly speaking, the map drawn by Liu De is just a general orientation map, which can only be used as a reference. It is not that Zhao Qiang does not want an extremely accurate military map like later generations, but due to the limitations of the times, Liu De can never plan that kind of map. It is rare for him to draw such a picture.

"Go and get Duncan."

Author's note: The Buryat Mongolia was ceded to the Russian Russians by Kangxi after the Qing Dynasty invaded the original state, and was ceded through the so-called equal territorial treaty in the history of the state three years later, the Treaty of Nebchu, the so-called treaty in the history of the state.
