The daily life of Dali Siqing

In a month's time, the two armies of Zhao Tianlin and Qin Yiyan pushed Youzhou flat and entered Jianzhou from east and west.

The land of Houjin is nothing more than two pieces.

One is Jianzhou, which has a vast territory.The second is part of the former Tang Hanhai Duhufu and Anbei Duhufu.

In terms of geography alone, the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty today is far less than that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

"New Book of Tang" contains:
"The bone is located in the north of the vast sea in the north. Two jins live together. The victorious soldiers are [-]. There are more than [-] people. There are many lilies in the grass. The land is famous for horses. The country is connected to the ice sea in the north. The days are long and the evenings are short. After the sun is gone. The sky is bright. Cook a piece of lamb blade before it is (cái) cooked, and dawn is already in the east. It is also the place where the sun rises."

Ps: "Cai" means "cai".

What kind of concept is this? In fact, I cook meat at night, and the mutton is not yet cooked, and it will be clear in the sky, and the north is connected to the ice sea. After contacting the context, I know what I am talking about.

In fact, people who understand geography should be very clear from the last sentence, which describes the extreme daylight situation in the Arctic Circle.

"Tong Dian" also has a similar record, "In Zhenguan, the bone and dry country offered horses and made clouds. Its country is more than [-] miles northwest of the capital. The night is short and the day is long. When the sky is dark, the sheep is cooked, and it is cooked in the east. It's already dawn, and it's close to the sun's setting."

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

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

"Old Tang Book Astronomical Records" also has evidence for this: "In the north, there is no land at more than fifteen degrees, and it lies in the west of Hai, and it is seen in the east of Chou in the morning. It is estimated by the number of miles (lǐ) , is already in the north of Huihe, and is 810 miles away from Luoyang in the south, so the extremely long day of May will always be bright at night, but the bones and bones are still in the south of it.”

Ps: "Li" is the same as "Li"

The altitude of the sun is 15 degrees, it is due west at dusk, and due east in the morning, and it is calculated to be 9810 miles away from Luoyang.Come May, there are no nights.

There is no night, what it means is very clear. Only in the Arctic and Antarctic circles will there be polar day and polar night.

Even if Xuanque State is not within the Arctic Circle, it is not far away.

However, even if there is a clear record in the history books, no one would dare to draw an ancient map like this.

But when the prosperous age comes, relying on these records, I can confidently say, "The Arctic Ocean has been me since ancient times..."

These are all legally based.

Even so, there are still people on Blue Star who shamelessly advocate the theory of Manchu land.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty in the Yongzheng Dynasty was indeed strong, and Yongzheng was indeed a talented and bold king.

But it would be a bit too much to change the appearance of the canonized prison and claim to be the actual controller.

In some places, the Qing Dynasty did not collect a single penny of tax. This is the so-called "territory".

There are also people who speak convincingly, claiming that it laid the territorial foundation of the prosperous China, and there is a 37-year period of the Republic of China between the two.

And at the end of the Qing Dynasty, except for the more than 200 million square kilometers ceded by the treaty.

Northeast China was divided into North Manchuria and South Manchuria after the Japanese-Russian War. Japan’s sphere of influence was Southern Manchuria, and Tsarist Russia’s sphere of influence was Northern Manchuria and Inner Qianyuan. The above areas could not be completely independently and actually controlled.

In the Western Regions and the Outer Qianyuan area, the Russian army is as familiar with it as their natal family, and they come here every now and then to eat and drink.

In the Tubo area, the Britons forced the local authorities to sign the "Treaty of Lhasa", 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 separated by Japan, and Minzhou has also been designated as Japan's sphere of influence.

The Yangtze River Basin is full of British concessions, which can be regarded as the sphere of influence of the British.

Is this how the territory is established? !

Territories lost by war can be recovered by war, but territories lost by treaties cannot be recovered by war.

Fortunately, although the Republic of China was weak, it was considered to be upright. It was a victorious country in World War I and World War II, and it was able to lay a legal foundation for today's prosperous age.

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

……

Qin Yiyan's vanguard is Yang Guo's Tabai camp.

In Youzhou, after Qi Yuanjing met Yang Guo, he was incorporated into the army by Qin Yiyan. Together with Yang Guo, he was the forerunner 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's, but that Yang Qingyuan's position is much higher than Qi Yuanjing's.

Even if Qin Yiyan appreciates Qi Yuanjing's ability, Yang Guo also admires him, so he can only let him take the position of lieutenant general.

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

In the huge Jianzhou, there are surprisingly few people.

Yang Guo led Qingqi and traveled a hundred miles, but he only encountered a few small tribes, no, they weren't even considered tribes, at most they were settlements with many people.

"How is this going?!"

Although Yang Guo has a keen eye for the battlefield, his strategic vision is still far from mature.

Qi Yuanjing also frowned slightly.

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

"That's all it takes!"

Immediately, the Tabai Camp found a settlement again, broke through their resistance, and captured a few strong men from Mohe.

Hou Jin was different from Da Zhou. In wartime, these young and middle-aged men would be the source of soldiers for Hou Jin.

This is also the reason why Hou Jingan claims to control strings with millions of strings.

Qi Yuanjing drew out the slender saber from his waist, and placed it between the necks of a Mohe man.

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

The threatened Mohe people looked at Qi Yuanjing with disdain.

"Bah! Bandit Zhou, sooner or later, you will die by my hands..."

Before this person could finish speaking, the light of the knife passed by.

He has no chance in his life!
Compassion does not command soldiers, and Qi Yuanjing doesn't have so many worries in the enemy's area.

Immediately, the blood-stained long knife was placed between the throat of the second person, "Say! Why is there no one in Jianzhou!? Is there an ambush!?"

"I..." This person glanced at the people around him and began to hesitate.

"Zheng!"

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

"I don't think you'd like to be the third! Say, where did everyone go!?"

Yang Guo and Qi Yuanjing already sensed the danger. On the enemy's territory, there may be a soldier hiding in the dark, which is really too dangerous.

The blood-stained blade rested on the throat of the third person, and the Mohe man with the rattail could feel the coldness of the blade.

Death had never been so close to him!
This is Qi Yuanjing's usual method when dealing with small groups of Japanese pirates, in order to create mental pressure.

Seeing life passing away in front of his own eyes, the next one may be his turn, this fear, even the fanatical Bushido, cannot restrain it.

"I said, I said!"

Seeing Qi Yuanjing being so cruel, the Mohe youth didn't dare to hesitate any longer.

"All the tribesmen near us have been taken away!"

"Nonsense!" Yang Guo yelled, "Even if the young and the strong are arrested, the women, children, old and weak should be in the tribe! We have come all the way, and we have never seen a large tribe! Could it be that everyone and the tribe were arrested? Someone packed it!?"

"My lord, you are right!"

"..."

Hearing the words of Mohe's young and middle-aged man, Qi Yuanjing and Yang Guo looked at each other in blank dismay.

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

"Talk about it carefully."

Qi Yuanjing withdrew the long saber that was placed between Mohe's young and strong necks.

"About [-] days ago, a group of people came, captured all the people in the tribe, and forced them to move away. Originally, within a radius of two hundred miles, there should be dozens of people from different tribes. , but now there is none left!"

"Are you from Houjin?!" Mohe youth shook his head.

"Is that our military uniform flag?" Mohe youth still shook his head.

Yang and Qi immediately felt that this was strange.

In this era, population is an important part of national power, and the people of these Mohe tribes can become a cavalry force with a little training.

Looting people, cattle, sheep and horses is actually increasing one's own strength.

"Do you still remember what they were dressed in?!" Qi Yuanjing asked.

"They are dressed a bit like Dagan's military uniforms, but the weapons in their hands are different from Dagan's."

"no the same?!"

"Dagan's cavalry mainly use scimitars and strong bows, but the men and horses who come to plunder the population's cattle and sheep are not equipped with Dagan's scimitars, but are also equipped with lances and crossbows."

"This..." Both of them felt that there was a third party in this battlefield.

Moreover, this force has a lot of plans, fishing in troubled waters.

In order to confirm this fact, Yang Guo and Qi Yuanjing interrogated the remaining Mohe people separately, and they all got similar answers.

It can be confirmed now that there is indeed such a group of people in Jianzhou who are plundering people, cattle and sheep everywhere.

"We have to report this matter to General Qin immediately!" Yang Guo, as the chief general, made a decisive decision, "Brother Qi, you take a small team back to the camp to report, and I will continue to patrol the vicinity with the Tabai camp to see if I can find it." , clues!"

"it is good!"

……
-
Bizu Town.

This is the largest oasis encountered by Yang Qingyuan and his party when they entered the Gobi.

Still staying at the inn, but Yang Qingyuan didn't ask about Zhenhucheng's news as usual.

Instead, he gathered the important figures of Dali Temple, Mrs. Mingzhu, and Zhao Min into his room.

Zhao Min, who originally wanted to take the opportunity to provoke trouble, saw the fierce look in Yang Qingyuan's eyes, and knew that he was warning him, and thought of the feeling of being unable to speak for a whole day because of Yang Qingyuan's sealing of his acupuncture points.

Zhao Min obediently withdrew her little thoughts.

"Brother Yang, you can feel it too!"

After everyone sat down, Liu Wangshu spoke first.

Yang Qingyuan nodded slightly, "These residents don't seem to welcome us very much!"

This ancestral town is different from the towns we passed by before.

Although the residents of Zhendian were unfamiliar with their foreign caravan at the beginning, they were accustomed to it.

But this ancestral town is completely different. Since they entered, the residents of this town have been closely guarding them.

This is unreasonable. Although they are outsiders, this oasis town on the Mala Gobi has been a resting place for caravans since ancient times. It is impossible for them to feel so alienated because of the entry of a strange caravan.

Ye Jianhan, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth and said, "A trap?"

Two words, the tone is questioning, as always, concise and to the point.

If this town is one of Luowang's strongholds, then it makes sense, whether it is Ye Jianhan, Yang Qingyuan or Liu Wangshu, they are definitely celebrities in Luowang.

It is estimated that there are extremely high bounties!
Ji Mingzhu, who knows Luo Wang best, shook her head, "It's not like that!"

Yang Qingyuan also agreed, "It's really not like that. I just observed the behavior and customs of the surrounding residents. It should be a living habit that has been maintained here for a long time. If it is a person who is caught in the net, it should not be so realistic! After all, it is impossible for people in the net to act. All of them, like Liu Jiahui, the patrol leader of Dali Temple, have the potential of being a movie king."

The appearance can be disguised, and the clothes can be changed, but the accent and living habits cannot be changed by ordinary people in a short period of time.

"What does Brother Yang mean!?"

Liu Wangshu didn't understand, but the scheming Princess Shaomin already knew what Yang Qingyuan meant.

"Little teacher, do you know who the pen ancestor is?!" Zhao Min asked with a bright smile.

But Liu Wangshu didn't hear what Zhao Min said later, only the initial address kept echoing in Liu Wangshu's ears!

"Little teacher!"

"Little teacher!"

"Mistress!"

……

Although the face is still as cold as ice, but the Liu Wangshu in his heart has turned into a little man covering his face and rolling all over the ground, not caring what Zhao Min said later!
……
-
Jianzhou, Qin Yiyan's Chinese army.

"Brother Yuan Jing, why are you back!?"

As the deputy general of the vanguard army, Qi Yuanjing rushed back with his men suddenly, something must have happened!
"General Qin, Mr. Zhu!" Qi Yuanjing bowed his hands to Qin Yiyan and Zhu Jianqiu.

"The vanguard army encountered an abnormal situation. The last general and General Xiao Yang felt that this matter was extraordinary, so the last general led people back to report the matter to the army."

Qin Yiyan looked at Qi Yuanjing's travels and dust, his lips were already chapped, and he knew that Qi Yuanjing didn't stop in the process of coming.

"General Qi is not in a hurry, drink your saliva first, and speak slowly!" He said and handed Qi Yuanjing a water bag.

Qi Yuanjing was not hypocritical, he was really thirsty at this moment, took the water bag, and only after half a bag of water was swallowed did he make a happy sound.

"happy!"

Putting down the water bag and touching his mouth, Qi Yuanjing spoke.

"When the last general and General Yang were inspecting and investigating, they found that there seemed to be a third unknown force on the land of Jianzhou. Moreover, this force was not weak. The last general and little general Yang were worried that it would affect the army. The plan to destroy the gold, this is the time to come back."

Afterwards, Qi Yuanjing told all the things that he and Yang Guo found out just now.

The camp fell into a brief silence for an instant.

"General Qi, what do you and General Xiao Yang think about this matter!?"

Qi Yuanjing was not hypocritical, "Then it's time to throw bricks and attract jade!"

Although he is a general, Qi Yuan treats people respectfully, but he does not have that kind of sharpness, but has the tact of a politician.

"After discussing with General Xiao Yang, I think that this mysterious force is just two possibilities!"

"One is that Goguryeo's soldiers took advantage of Houjin's weakness to plunder the population."

"Then what about the second one?" Zhu Jianqiu's eyes were clear.

"Secondly, King Zhao of Yancheng, fish in troubled waters! Supplement your own strength!"
