Chapter 453: Unprecedented territory of the Yuan Dynasty!
On the canopy.

The broad-faced and bearded Mongol monarch wore a crown with twelve tassels adorned with two circling dragons.

The dark blue imperial robe of the Sun and Moon appears solemn and dignified.

Hundreds of Mongolian soldiers in armor and helmets were neatly arranged around the building below him, standing facing outwards.

The armor shines brightly, reflecting the bright sun, looking majestic and majestic.

Under the sparkling eaves, civil and military officials were lined up in order.

Next to a square plaza that is 500 steps long and 500 steps wide.

The pavilions, corridors, roofs and trees were filled with people watching.

The upper end of the square.

There were ten large yellow flags embroidered with flying dragons, as tall as the buildings, fluttering in the clouds.

The emperor stood on the balcony, full of high spirits, and said in a loud voice!
"For three generations of Tang and Yu!"

"The territory of the whole world does not extend beyond Youbing in the north, does not extend beyond the mountains in the south, extends to the sea in the east, and is covered by the Quicksand in the west."

"To my great Yuan!"

"Rise from the northern desert, annex the Western Regions, pacify the Western Xia, destroy the Jurchens, subjugate Goryeo, and pacify Nanzhao!"

"Then we will go south of the Yangtze River, and the whole world will be one!"

The ministers who bowed their heads all had sympathetic expressions on their faces.

"In the north, it is beyond the Yin Mountains; in the west, it is as far as the Liusha Mountains; in the east, it is as far as the Liaodong area; in the south, it is across the sea!"

Kublai Khan's face flushed and his tone became more and more excited.

"History of the Han and Tang territories!"

"Han is nine thousand three hundred and two miles from east to west! It is thirteen thousand one hundred and sixty-eight miles from north to south!"

"Tang is 9,511 miles from east to west and 16,918 miles from north to south!"

"As for the Yuan Dynasty! Its east and south reach are not inferior to the Han and Tang Dynasties, and its west and north reach surpass them!"

"How magnificent!"

As the sound falls.

Various musical instruments, including the pipa, guzheng, konghou, big drum, jie drum, flute, sheng, xun, chi, xiao, and Qiang flute, were played on both sides of the square.

……

[After Lin'an surrendered to the Yuan Dynasty, the entire territory of the Southern Song Dynasty belonged to the Yuan Dynasty]

[The Yuan Dynasty also officially achieved another great unification since the Tang Dynasty. ]

……

Great Qin.

Ying Zheng looked at the vast territory with an expressionless face.

"Just say it, why are you shouting so loudly?"

"I unified the world and devoured the six kingdoms without making any noise."

"It's really disgraceful."

In other words, I don’t have many iron tools in my hands.

Otherwise, I will show you what a vast territory is!

Ying Zheng looked down at the territory map on the desk.

His eyes were filled with regret.

Europe...can’t be defeated.

That primeval forest is too big.

However, they will have to wait until the six nations have completed the construction of the Western Regions before they can reach Europe.

If the Qin Dynasty unified the six kingdoms once again, wouldn't that be the same as conquering Europe?
The Qin Emperor of later generations!

I have left you a great treasure!
……

The period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty
Liu Bingyi frowned slightly.

"The vastness of the territory is indeed unprecedented in previous dynasties..."

If Emperor Wu had not launched a northern expedition against the Huns, he would have expanded the territory to the Hetao and Hexi Corridor.

He also destroyed Wei's Korea in the east and established four counties.

In the west, the Western Regions Protectorate was set up, and the jurisdiction was extended to the north and south of the Tianshan Mountains at Yumen Pass and all the way to the West Sea.

The Han Dynasty is probably still within the Qin territory.

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
Li Longji curled his lips.

"The six great protectorates of the Tang Dynasty cover thousands of miles!"

"I don't brag like him!"

Gao Lishi whispered:

"However, the areas governed by the six protectorates did not reach this range at the same time, and the time it took to reach the farthest point was relatively short..."

Li Longji instantly felt like an eggplant hit by frost.

After the Anshi Rebellion.

The jurisdiction of Beiting Protectorate was completely lost.

The jurisdiction of Andong Protectorate was limited to Liaodong, and later it retreated to Liaoxi.

The Annan Protectorate was gradually occupied by the Nanzhao Kingdom.

The entire southwest, including most of Qinghai, was the territory of the Tubo Empire, and it could not be said that they had jurisdiction over it...

"That's right! Tubo!"

Li Longji remembered this ungrateful person!
"I haven't settled accounts with them yet!"

……

Song
Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to participate in the discussion of this topic.

After all, the territory of the Song Dynasty had reached its peak during his rule.

Later, there was a brief peak during the reign of Zhao Kuangyi.

Basically, it went downhill all the way until the country was destroyed!

……

Dayuan.

"Hahahaha!"

Kublai Khan looked at the sky and laughed out loud!

"The Four Seas Are One!"

"To the north, the Huihe tribe; to the east, the Goryeo tribe!"

"The borders of Tubo and Hexi, the territory of Dali in India!" "Bees and ants swarm, prostrating themselves inward, countless!"

"Since ancient times, no country has been as grand as ours!"

……

Ming dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly.

I am not going to join this topic for the time being.

It is an indisputable fact that the territory of the Ming Dynasty was far smaller than that of the Yuan Dynasty.

But we believe!

Our descendants in the future will surely be able to catch up with the territorial record set by the Yuan Dynasty!
"After all, we have left all the legal principles for you."

"Just do it!"

Queen Ma couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"You are quite confident."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head proudly.

"Don't you see whose son our son is?"

"When it comes to educating my son, I can't say I can match Emperor Gaozu of Han, but I can still do as well as Emperor Taizong of Tang!"

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"Look! This is all Ming Dynasty land!"

Zhu Di was heartbroken!

Beating his chest and stamping his feet, he said:
"Your grandfather has figured out the legal principles!"

"If these lands are not incorporated into Ming territory!"

"Your grandfather died with his eyes open!"

Zhu Gaochi tucked his hands into his sleeves and watched coldly, unmoved.

Zhu Di acted for a long time but saw that his fat son didn't show any reaction, so he flicked his sleeves and sat down angrily.

"You must explain it to me today!"

"What on earth are you thinking!"

Zhu Gaochi understood his father's mentality.

I just want to establish great achievements and wash away the reputation of being a traitor.

but……

"Dad, no matter which dynasty or generation, the rulers never rely on violence to establish boundaries."

"Violence can only gain a place temporarily, but not forever."

“The real border depends on various institutions and cultures, and on the historical memory that supports this social order.”

"And these are what the Yuan Dynasty lacked. That's why it perished. Even though its territory was unprecedented."

Zhu Di got a headache after hearing this. It was the same old stuff again!
Zhu Gaochi saw that the old man was impatient and added one more sentence.

"Dad, it doesn't matter how much fortune a person earns!"

"How much property he can leave behind in the end is a real talent!"

……

Qing Dynasty and Qianlong period
"Hahahaha!"

Qianlong laughed so hard that tears came out!

He wiped his eyes and smiled:
"unprecedented?"

"Hahahaha! Don't they read history books or do research?"

Heshen smiled along and dared not say a word.

Sure enough, after wiping the corners of his eyes, Qianlong stopped smiling.

The old dragon was in his twilight years, with his eyes drooped, and his voice was calm.

"The twenty-fourth year of Qianlong's reign."

"Our Qing dynasty stretches from Tannu Uriankhai in Mongolia in the north to the South China Sea in the south, with archipelagos and reefs."

"It reaches the Tawang region of Tibet and northern Myanmar in the southwest, the Aral Sea, Pamir Mountains and Ibo Lake in the west, Sakhalin Island in the northeast, and Taiwan and the Penghu Islands in the southeast."

"Due to the conflict with the two Khanates of Ogedei and Chagatai, they successively lost the Transoxiana region and western Xinjiang, and finally had to use Hami as their western border."

"After I destroyed the Dzungar Khanate and put down the rebellions of the two Khojas, all areas of Xinjiang, including the area west of the Talas River, will be included in my territory!"

"What the Yuan Dynasty had, the Qing Dynasty took into its pocket, and what the Yuan Dynasty did not have, the Qing Dynasty also got!"

"unprecedented?"

"What a big joke!"

……

{The Yuan Dynasty is the only Chinese dynasty that originated outside of today’s borders.}
{It seems that they started the uprising in Inner Mongolia?}

{The place where Genghis Khan started his army was indeed near the upper reaches of the Onon River in Kent Province, Mongolia today.}
……

Qing Dynasty, Guangxu Period
Guangxu's face changed and he immediately fell down on the dragon throne.

“Outside the country…”

"That is to say..."

Did the Qing Dynasty even lose Mongolia?

……

[In theory, the Southern Song Dynasty had already been destroyed legally at this time]

【But there are always people who want to turn the tide. 】

[Even if there is little hope, even if there are many difficulties]

……

Great Song.

A shiver rose from the tailbone!
Zhao Kuangyin shuddered!
"Again!"

"Go on your journey in peace and safety!"

"I can't stand the stimulation!"

"Chen Zhaoyu! Chen Zhaoyu!"

"Bring the medicine!"

Doctor Chen in the distance looked at Zhao Kuangyi, whose face changed drastically.

Smiling and extending his hand.

"Please, King Jin."
