Chapter 315: The Great Song Dynasty, Which Set Yanhuang Back More Than Two Thousand Years, And The A
Yan Changqing turned around and saw the frowning expressions of Zhu Yuanzhang, Prince Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and couldn't help but asked in surprise:
"Is there something wrong with what I said?!!"
"Why do you have such a frown on your face?!!"
Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all shook their heads.
Then Qin King Zhu Ping said:
"In the Western Zhou Dynasty more than two thousand years ago, the actual area of the fiefdom controlled by the Emperor Zhou was only two or three Yingtianfu Tianxiao?!"
Yan Changqing nodded and affirmed:
"The actual area under direct management may vary, but basically it's pretty much the same."
The Western Zhou Dynasty implemented a feudal system, and the Emperor of Zhou nominally controlled all the territory of the Zhou Dynasty.
But in fact, except for the areas actually directly managed by the Emperor of Zhou, the management of other areas was managed separately by feudal princes, ministers, officials, and scholars.
Emperor Zhou could not directly manage these enfeoffed lands.
Instead, these lands were managed indirectly by mobilizing and managing the princes, the princes mobilized and managed the ministers, and the ministers mobilized the administrators. These lands were managed indirectly through layer-by-layer transmission.
However, in the early to mid-term, the Emperor of Zhou had strong control over the feudal princes, officials, and scholars, so he also had strong control over the fiefdoms of these princes, officials, and scholars.
But in the middle and late period, the prestige of Emperor Zhou weakened and the princes began to rise.
The Emperor of Zhou gradually lost the ability to control the feudal princes, ministers, officials, and scholars, and naturally also lost the ability to control the fiefdoms of those princes, ministers, officials, and scholars.
In the end, the only areas that Emperor Zhou could control were the areas directly under his own jurisdiction, which are the so-called "land of the king's territory", which is probably Gyeonggi and some surrounding areas.
As for the area of this part of the country, whether it is large or small, Yan Changqing estimates that it is about the area of two or three Yingtian Mansion.
"If the actual area under the jurisdiction of Emperor Zhou is only this small, then wouldn't the territory of the entire Zhou Dynasty be also very small?!"
Jin Wang Zhu Fan also looked in disbelief.
Although they did not know how large the territory of the Zhou Dynasty was, they estimated it based on the area of fiefdom actually under the jurisdiction of the Emperor of Zhou.
They estimate that the territory of the Zhou Dynasty might not even be half the size of the Ming Dynasty today!
Yan Changqing narrowed his eyes slightly, then turned around and wrote on the blackboard:
"Xia Dynasty has a land area of about 100 million hectares (1 million square kilometers)."
“In the Shang Dynasty, the land area was about 100 million hectares (1 million square kilometers).
"The territory of the Western Zhou Dynasty was about 100 million hectares (1 million square kilometers)."
"The territory of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was approximately 219 million hectares (2.19 million square kilometers).
"The territory of the Qin Dynasty was approximately 340 million hectares (3.4 million square kilometers)."
"The territory of the Western Han Dynasty was approximately 609 million hectares (6.09 million square kilometers)."
"The territory of the new dynasty is about 405 million hectares (4.05 million square kilometers)."
"The territory of the Eastern Han Dynasty was about 580 million hectares (5.8 million square kilometers)."
"The combined territory of the Three Kingdoms Wei, Shu and Wu is about 542 million hectares (5.42 million square kilometers).
"The Western Jin Dynasty had a land area of about 543 million hectares (5.43 million square kilometers).
"The Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern and Northern Dynasties are too confusing, so I won't go into details."
"In the Sui Dynasty, the land area was about 467 million hectares (4.67 million square kilometers).'
"During the Longshuo reign of Emperor Gaozong of the Tang Dynasty, the land area was approximately 1.237 billion hectares (12.37 million square kilometers)."
"Wu Zhou, the king's territory is about 691 million hectares (6.91 million square kilometers)."
"The Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period is also too confusing, so I won't go into details."
"In the Northern Song Dynasty, the land area was about 280 million hectares (2.8 million square kilometers).
"In the Southern Song Dynasty, the land area was about 200 million hectares (2 million square kilometers).'
“In the Yuan Dynasty, the land area was approximately 1.372 million hectares (13.72 million square kilometers).
"Today in the Ming Dynasty, the king's territory covers an area of approximately 900 million hectares (9 million square kilometers).
Yan Changqing turned sideways and looked back at Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes. He circled the territory of the Qin Dynasty with chalk and said calmly:
"After the six kings were completed, the world was one, the books and the carriages were on the same track, unified weights and measures, and created the unification of the world through the ages. The first emperor Ying Zheng, the land area of his Qin Dynasty was only 340 million hectares!! !”
"Compared to today's Ming Dynasty, the land area is only one-third the size of the Ming Dynasty."
"How do you feel, Your Majesty and Your Highnesses, do you feel a little proud?!!"
Yan Changqing once again used chalk to circle the territory of the Western Han Dynasty. He raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes [with a calm expression:
"Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty, who was also the first emperor of the ages, had a land area of only 609 million hectares during the Han Dynasty when he was there.
"It is only about two-thirds of the size of the Ming Dynasty today. Will Your Majesty and Your Highnesses feel very proud and proud?!"
If Yan Changqing said this in a different tone.
Then maybe Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, would really be proud of the huge territory of the Ming Dynasty.
But obviously, what Yan Changqing said now was not really praising their Ming Dynasty.
Yan Changqing's eyes lightly glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes. He seemed to be calm, but also seemed to be sarcastic:
"It has spanned a long period of 3,450 years. Today, the descendants of you and I have just expanded the territory opened up by the Yanhuang ancestors to nine times."
"Is it the ancestors who should be laughed at, or our descendants?!!"
No matter it was Zhu Yuanzhang or the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Xi, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, they were all speechless at this moment.
As the descendants of the next generation, it took them 3,450 years to expand the territory opened up by the Yanhuang ancestors by only nine times [Where is the ancestor pulling the crotch here?!
This is obviously because they, as descendants, are stretching their crotch too much!!!
Yan Changqing turned sideways and used chalk to circle the land area of the Song Dynasty. He tapped the chalk head on the blackboard again and again, and said with unconcealed anger in his tone:
"Why do I call Da Song a coward?!!"
"Why do I still look down on the Song Dynasty even though its annual income has reached the highest ever of 116.13 million yuan?!!"
"Because of the Song Dynasty, our descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties suffered the greatest shame since ancient times - the shame of Jingkang!!!"
…………Please give me flowers…………
"Because of the Song Dynasty, the three thousand years of efforts of our descendants of Yan and Huang to open up new territories have all come to nothing!!!"
"Because of the Song Dynasty, in one dynasty, the territory of our descendants of the Yan and Huang Dynasties was regressed by more than two thousand years, returning to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty!!!"
"This alone is enough to nail the Song Dynasty to the pillar of shame of the descendants of Yan and Huang, and receive the spit of ancestors and descendants from generation to generation!!!"
With a bang, because he used too much force and was too angry, the powder in Nagama's hand was broken by him.
In Yan Changqing's view, the Song Dynasty was a prosperous civilization far beyond the Han and Tang Dynasties, the highest peak annual income in history, and the only country that did not suffer from civil strife. This is all nonsense!!!
Just to mention one thing, the land area during the Song Dynasty regressed and shrank back to the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
How could the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty explain to all the ancestors of the Yan and Huang Dynasties who for more than two thousand years had fought hard, opened up territories, and gained a foothold for future generations?!!
For more than two thousand years, the efforts of countless Yan and Huang ancestors were all wasted because of the Song Dynasty!!!
Could the prosperity of the Han and Tang dynasties have been able to cover up such a sin?
Such a crime can be covered up by the so-called peak income, which is the highest in history?!!
Is this a crime that the so-called only country that does not suffer from civil strife can cover up?!!
Damn, if he dares to use such a reason to explain to his ancestors, his ancestors will kill these unscrupulous descendants of the Song Dynasty with stone shovels, stone knives, and stone axes!!!
For the same reason, in Yan Changqing's view, no matter how great the emperor's achievements or achievements, the emperor just wanted to say:
"Will the border be opened?!!"
"Takutu?!!"
"Can you explain to the ancestors of Yan and Huang?!!"
If not, then nothing else needs to be said.
Because the ancestors no longer want to talk to you, and have thrown a lot of stone shovels, stone knives, and stone axes at you.
"Why can Emperor Qin, Wu of Han, and Zong of Tang be called emperors through the ages?!!"
"Because they are the only ones who truly inherit the legacy of the ancestors of the Yan and Huang dynasties, and truly expand the territory and create a foothold for future generations of the Yan and Huang descendants!!!"
"The rest, compared to the territorial areas of previous dynasties, are remarkable and can barely regain their homeland."
"Even most people can't even regain their homeland!!!"
Speaking of this, Yan Changqing's eyes fell on Zhu Yuanzhang, as well as the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Di, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes, and said with a slight mockery:
"Compared with the land area of 1.237 million hectares at the peak of the Tang Dynasty, today's Ming Dynasty has not even fully recovered its homeland, let alone expanded its territory. 11
"And this is the area of our homeland more than seven hundred years ago..."
"Now, Your Majesty and Your Highnesses feel that it is our ancestors who are incompetent?!"
"Or are the descendants of future generations too wasteful?!!"
Upon hearing Yan Changqing's question, both Zhu Yuanzhang and the princes Zhu Biao, Zhu Fang, Zhu Fan, Zhu Di and other princes all lowered their heads in shame.
waste!
It’s their descendants who are trash!!
It’s their descendants who are too useless!!!
