This small series will first tell you about the ancient Liao State in China, which was established by Yelu Baoji. At first, Yelubaoji built the capital of Liao in Huang Lin, Beijing. Readers who know some geography should know that this place is in Lindong Town, Balinzuoqi, Inner Mongolia today. At the beginning, many soldiers occupied the north of the Great Wall under the leadership of Yelubaoji, and the whole Heilongjiang River Basin and the Mongolian Plateau were under their jurisdiction. These places are in central and eastern Inner Mongolia, all over Mongolia and so on. Moreover, the territory of these places is very large, with a total area of about 4 million square kilometers.
At that time, Liao was a powerful country with a high reputation in the world. Up to now, some countries in Eastern Europe have called our country "Khitan", but the tide turns, and the Liao State was later destroyed by the Jin State, and the people who perished had to flee. Finally, they established the Western Liao Empire in Husuluduo. Later, under the leadership of Yeleshi, the Western Liao Empire expanded its territory, including many parts of our country, such as the whole of Xinjiang, East Kazakhstan and other vast places. According to incomplete statistics, the territory of the Western Liao Empire is at least 3 million square kilometers.
After talking about the prosperous Liao country, let's talk about the Jin country that defeated Liao country. This Xu Jinguo is one of the best forces. After all, this country defeated Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty. Because of its vast territory, Xu Jinguo is located in the south. In addition, when Xu Jinguo defeated the Northern Song Dynasty and occupied the Central Plains, it was a little beyond the control of some northern territories. Therefore, the control of this place in the northern part of the Mongolian Plateau is not as good as before. So where are Liao and Xu Jinguo in ancient China now? You may not believe it!
