Holding his two-year-old son Zhao Yan in his right hand and dipping his left hand in tea, Zhao Wuxian drew a "map of Northeast Asia" on the black desk that only he knew...... Japan, Korea, Liaodong and even most of Northeast China are among them. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at those twisting lines, Xiao Zhao Yan blinked his eyes, wanting to stretch out his chubby hand to grab them.

But he was stopped by Ji Huan, and Ji Huan, who became a mother again, took him over from Wuxian, and the handover was very tacit.

Wuxian glanced at Ji Huan gratefully, Ji Huan still smiled, she knew best, Wuxian didn't like to be disturbed when she was thinking, and over the years, she was also used to him writing and painting some things that others couldn't understand.

Maybe this is talented, but Ji Huan doesn't want his child to be as smart as his father, too smart, he will worry about more things.

However, Zhao Yan's eyes were still staring at the pattern curiously, wondering what his father was doing.

Zhao Wuxian was using the elimination method to determine Chen Heng's orientation.

"It's impossible in Japan."

As soon as the speculation began, he had already ruled out a possibility.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, the people of the Central Plains had no concept of the Japanese archipelago, but they only told the story of "Fuso" beyond the East China Sea in the mouths of some Yanqi warlocks who chattered about it, and they did not know anything else. Based on the knowledge of later generations, Zhao Wuxian knew that the current Japan is still a desolate island with only the indigenous people of Ezo, and the seeds of civilization have yet to be spread by people from the East Asian continent hundreds of years later, which led to the birth of Yayoi culture and "Wakoku".

In short, it is now a virgin land like the New World, primitive and obscurant, and the isolation of the sea is the main reason for this.

The kingdoms of Qi, Yan, Wu, and Yue have begun to explore the ocean, but it is impossible to sail directly across the ocean just along the coastline. Not to mention that the East China Sea has always been turbulent, let alone the Spring and Autumn Period, even in the Tang and Song dynasties, it is a very risky thing to cross the sea to Japan, unless Chen Heng really has a destiny, otherwise the people he brings will basically have to feed the fish, or starve to death.

Of course, if you slowly move south along the Korean Peninsula and then cross the Tsushima Strait, there may be a little chance, but if this is the case, Chen Heng will land directly on the Korean Peninsula and it will be over, so why bother to travel thousands of miles east to Fuso?

So Zhao Wuxian directly wiped Japan away.

There are also North Korea and Liaodong that are more likely.

……

The Shiqu Pavilion in Linzhang has almost collected all the books of the princes, many of which are precious bamboo slips, and there is no lack of secret history of Yin Zhou. Zhao Wuxian let people check, and it is recorded in the classic history that there were "three benevolences" at the end of the Yin Shang period, Bigan, Weizi Qi and Jizi. Jizi was the uncle of Emperor Xin, and was sealed in Korea after King Wu of Zhou destroyed Shang.

However, according to the records of the Zhao family, which has a close relationship with the Yin Shang, the Jizi was before the demise of the Yin Shang, seeing that the general trend had gone, he took a part of the merchants to migrate north, wanting to return to the place where they came, that is, the distant land of Yan Bo - the development of the Yin Shang is a gradual southward migration process, the land of Yan Hao is the birthplace of the pre-Shang culture, but the origin of the Yin Shang family can be traced back to the Rong clan, and the ancestors of the Rong clan are closely related to the once glorious Hongshan culture.

Yin Shang came from the north and returned to the north. In the north and south of Yanshan, there were many Yin Shang sons surnamed Fangguo, such as Guzhuguo, who had always been loyal to them, and they received Jizi and allowed him and his people to settle in the Liao River valley east of Guzhu.

However, the Zhou people did not give up the expedition to the north, with the Zhaogong expedition to the north, the entire Yanhao region, including the Guzhu country, surrendered to the Zhou people, and the Jizi could only continue to cross the Liaoshui to migrate eastward, arriving in distant Korea, a place where the Zhou people were difficult to reach, and established the Fang State of the remnants of Yin Shang: Jizi Korea.

Therefore, the so-called "Zhou Tianzi sealed the Jizi in Korea", just the Zhou people admitted a fait accompli, from beginning to end, the Zhou Dynasty has never relaxed the vigilance of the Jizi North Korea, the descendants of the Jizi must be the hostage in the Yan country, and in the long run, the formation of the Yan country's doctor Ji clan.

However, with the increasing invasion of Rong Di, Yan State's control over Liaoxi was gradually lost, and even the Guzhu State also launched an attack on them.

It is precisely because of the Rongdi invasion two hundred years ago that the connection between Yan and Jizi Korea was broken, and the Yan people who came to ask Zhao never mentioned anything about North Korea.

In short, the current "Jizi Korea" is still a fog for the Central Plains, separated by the sea, and the Qi people who are still cruising along the coastline should not know much about it.

So according to Chen Heng's whereabouts in the Penglai Islands, Zhao Wuxian estimated that he was most likely to go not to North Korea, but to the Liaodong Peninsula opposite Shandong!

……

On the map drawn by Zhao Wuxian, the Liaodong Peninsula lies between the Yan Kingdom and the possible location of the Jizi Joseon Dynasty, separating them.

Zhao Wuxian shook his head helplessly, the development of civilization in this era is really not easy, only East and West Asia, North Africa, and the Mediterranean coast are flickering with a little fire of civilization, but they are surrounded by dark clusters, and they will be annihilated or regressed if they are not careful.

Liaodong in this era is also a wilderness......

At that time, people generally believed that the Northeast was the farthest place in "Kyushu", because it was far east of Kyushu, so it was called "Liaodong", which means the far east. According to the atlases and classics presented by the Yan people, it can be known that since the rise of Shanrong, their forces have been defeated and retreated from the Daling River and retreated back to Yanshan, and Jieshi is its eastern border.

Therefore, the power of Yan is not more than Jieshi, and there are some small cities established by the remnants of Guzhu, Lingzhi and Shanrong in western Liaoxi, which are subordinate to Yan, but they are indefinite. As for Liaodong, it is still a world of filthy people and detainers, they are a people who are half farming and half fishing and hunting, and have established some small fence-like towns in the southern part of the Liaodong Peninsula, and some people in the northeastern part of Liaodong have Su Shen people.

This was all the information that the Yan people could provide, and the entire northeastern edge of China gradually appeared in front of Zhao Wuxian's eyes.

"From the Penglai Islands to the north, there are islands along the way that can provide ships to anchor and replenish fresh water, and then only need to wait for a wind, only a few days to cross the Shaohai Sea, and reach the vicinity of Dalian and Lushun in the future, if you are lucky, most of the ships can reach their destinations intact......

At this point, Zhao Wuxian had listed the Liaodong Peninsula as the most likely place for Chen Heng to arrive, as if he had solved a small mystery, he was quite excited about how to catch this son, but soon, Zhao Wuxian was deflated again, and sighed in disappointment.

Because he found that he had been deducing here for a long time, it was a waste of time, no matter where Chen Heng went, North Korea or Liaodong, Zhao Guo had nothing to do with him.

Zhao Wuxian's boat division was completely wiped out in Langya three years ago, and he can't even get together ten big ships in his hands now, and it is undoubtedly a fool's dream to pursue Chen Heng from the sea.

Or rebuild a navy? But when Zhao Wuxian thought of Ji Ran, he said to him with a serious face: "The monarch needs to be responsible for the grand ambition, and the subordinates, as the Taifu Order, are also responsible for the expenses that will not be able to make ends meet next year!" He immediately dismissed the idea.

Langya Zhoushi had already been recognized by Ji Ran as a failed investment, and the income was far less than the expenditure, and it was really difficult to convince him to transfer another sum of money to Zhao Wuxian to build a navy within his means.

Ji Ran also said to Zhao Wuxian earnestly that at present, Zhao Guo does need a sailor, but not at sea, but on Surabaya and Huaishui, and Zhao Wuxian can't ruin the real plan because of the defeat of Chen Heng's subordinates.

As for the search and arrest from the land, it is necessary to use the Yan Kingdom to pass through the hostile alien lands of Liaoxi and Liaodong, unless the army pushes all the way through. Although Duke Qi Huan had already walked this road back then, although as long as Zhao Wuxian was genuine, Liaoxi and Liaodong could be passed on, but this kind of war was really a huge supply pressure, and there was no oil and water to fish......

Zhao was already very tired from years of fighting, and Zhao Wuxian only thought about conquering Qi and resting for a few years to integrate the Central Plains, but he didn't want to find himself another endless chase.

"For now...... Let him go......" In desperation, Zhao Wuxian could only roll his eyes and admit that Chen Heng had escaped from his Wuzhi Mountain this time, so let Yan Guo send a team of people to Liaodong to investigate and see where he went.

Seeing that Zhao Wuxian had finished thinking, Ji Huancai, who had been mixing tea for him next to him, brought the hot tea with a smile, and the aroma suddenly filled the room. Under the influence of Zhao Hou, the entire Zhao Palace and Yecheng began to drink tea, hiding in the palace room on this cold day, tasting a pot of hot tea made by a beauty, it is really a leisurely time that is hard to buy.

Xiao Zhao Yan also staggered over, and climbed up the desk with the support of Zhao Wuxian, and his father was pointing out the country on it, and he was also curious to touch it, wanting to grasp those territories that were far overseas and had no historical records.

Zhao Wuxian couldn't cry or laugh, picked him up again, walked to the huge square map on the other side, and put him in Xu Di's position.

Zhao Yan raised his head in confusion and tilted his head to look at his father.

Zhao Wuxian touched his drooping hair lovingly, and said, "Yan'er, where is your fiefdom here......?"

Zhao Yan was still at a loss, he didn't know that in more than a month, an alliance meeting related to his future, the territory of Qi State, the entire East, the entire Central Plains, and the entire China was about to be held.

"On the first day of the first month of next year, the widow will be the princes in Huangchi and re-establish the order of China......" Zhao Wuxian seemed to say to his son, as if he was saying to Ji Huan, and as if he was saying to himself, he already showed a smile under his very thick beard:

"In this world, there has not been a hegemon for too long!"

PS: The second chapter is in the evening

The northern origin theory of the Yin Shang dynasty mainly refers to Fu Sinian's "Yixia East and West Theory" and "History of the Shang Dynasty. Volume III. The Origin of the Shang Nation and the Changes of Pre-Shang Society", after all, it is a novel, not a thesis, so it will not take too much pen and ink to study in detail, and if you have objections, you can refute it yourself.

Regarding the geographical location of some ethnic states in Liaodong and Korea, mainly refer to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas":

"Donghu is in Dazedong", this "Daze" is obviously Liaoze in the lower reaches of the Liao River.

"The country is in the northeast of Hanshui, close to Yan, and it will be destroyed." Hanshui should be Liaoshui, and the people of Han and Zhan are the ancestors of many ethnic groups in Northeast China and the Korean Peninsula.

"North Korea is in the east of Lieyang, Haibei and Shannan. Lieyang belongs to the swallow. ”

"In the East China Sea, in the corner of the North Sea, there is a country called North Korea and Heavenly Poison, and its people live in the water and love people."

On the whole, at least at the time of the Warring States period, Korea was already in the northern part of the peninsula north of the Bohai Sea and south of the Changbai Mountains. (To be continued.) )
