Today, China's territory is vast and vast, with a vast territory of more than 9.6 million square kilometers, and in the early qing dynasty of ancient times, China's territory reached its peak, with more than 10 million square kilometers of land. It is a pity that in the late Qing Dynasty, Our country was invaded many times by people from other countries, and it was a pity that we could only let these bandits slaughter them, and lost more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land successively.
The territory of the Qing Dynasty of China
In fact, there was a territory overseas in China, which belonged to China since ancient times, and the government once set up three provinces to manage this place, but unfortunately, later the people of this land began to make independence, and the territory that originally belonged to China eventually became the territory of other countries. Today, this territory that once belonged to China is even competing with China for interests, which is infuriating.
This territory is now Vietnam. As early as the Qin Dynasty, Vietnam was the territory of our country, when Qin Shi Huang came to the world and set up three counties in the south of China, such as Guilin, Nanhai and Xiang County, to manage the southern region of China, and the Elephant County was responsible for managing the northern part of Vietnam, which can also prove that Vietnam belongs to the historical territory of China.
The imperial court sent several ministers to administer these areas, which were quite good during the Qin Dynasty, but after the decline of the Qin Empire, a governor in charge of the Nanhai County, Zhao Tuo, began to have a bad eye, he saw the chaos in the Central Plains, he took the opportunity to rebel, annexed Guilin County and Xiang County in one go, and raised a flag there to establish the State of South Vietnam for the king. At that time, the capital of the State of South Vietnam was now Guangzhou, which included most of the present-day provinces of Guangdong and Guangxi, as well as the northern part of Vietnam.
However, in 111 BC, emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty directly sent troops to attack the State of South Vietnam, destroying this small state that had just been established for a long time, and established the three counties of Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Ninan in north-central Vietnam to directly administer the Vietnamese region. For a long time thereafter, Vietnam was subordinate to China and was a piece of Chinese territory.
It was not until the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period that China began to fall apart, and Vietnam took the opportunity to get rid of control and establish an independent state again. In the Song and Yuan dynasties, in order to recover the territory it had lost, the government began to wage war against Vietnam to prepare to recover the area, but in the end it all ended in failure, and Vietnam has always existed independently.
During the Ming Dynasty, the Vietnamese Monarch of the Trần Dynasty was usurped by his foreign relative Hu Jiyi, so the Vietnamese courtiers requested that the Ming Dynasty be able to send troops to overthrow the Hu regime. So Zhu Di sent troops to attack Vietnam, although Hu Jiyun was afraid, but he could not escape the battle, and finally the Hu regime surrendered, and the Ming army took advantage of the situation to occupy the Vietnamese region again, and set up counties and counties, and set up a toe to declare the political envoy department.
However, although Vietnam has come under the rule of the Ming Army, the Vietnamese people have always wanted to be independent again. As soon as Chu Di died, the Vietnamese began to make a fuss about independence. However, the newly appointed emperor felt that the Vietnamese region was remote and did not have many resources, and spent manpower, material and financial resources to support the people of this area, and as a result, they were all still fighting for independence, and simply gave up the right to administer Vietnam.
Eventually, Vietnam regained its independence and established the Later Lê Dynasty, which, although it promised to maintain clan relations with China, was no longer governed by China.
