Where did Soochow belong during the war-torn Three Kingdoms period?

There are four states in the Kingdom of Wu, namely Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Guangzhou and Jiaozhou. Its territory reaches Lujiang County in the north (now central Jiangsu), Rinan County in Nantong in the south, Jiaozhi County in the west and the East China Sea in the east, including all the five provinces of Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong and Hunan, as well as parts of Jiangsu, Guangxi, Anhui, Hubei, Chongqing and Shanghai and northern Vietnam.

The main cities of Dongwu during the Three Kingdoms Period:

1, Wu Jun

The counties under the jurisdiction of Wu Jun are Wuxian (now gusu district, Suzhou), Louxian (now northeast of Kunshan), Youquan (now south of Jiaxing), Haiyan (now southeast of Pinghu in the Eastern Han Dynasty), Yuhang, Qiantang (now Hangzhou), Fuchun (now Fuyang), Wucheng (now Huzhou), Yangxian (now Yixing), Wuxi and Piling (now Changzhou).

According to the county records of the later Han Dynasty, in the Tang Dynasty, Wu Jun had Anxian but had no money, and the location of Anxian was unknown. According to the geography of Hanshu, it may be Qiantang, from the Atlas of Chinese History Tan Qixiang.

2. Jiangling

Jiangling, now known as Jingzhou City, is located in the south-central part of Hubei Province, a prefecture-level city, a national historical and cultural city and a central city in Jianghan Plain. Since the Five Dynasties, the ruling center of the Central Plains Dynasty has been between Henan and Shaanxi, with Jiangling controlling Bashu in the west, Han Xiang in the north, rivers and lakes in the front and wuyue in the arm. It is the hub of communication between the Central Plains and Lingnan, and is known as the "Southeast Town" and "Metropolis".

Many regimes whose capitals are in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River have established their capitals here. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Five Dynasties, there were ten regimes with capitals. Among them, Chu is a big country, and there are half of the rivers in the south in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Southern Dynasties. Therefore, Jiangling has a higher status as an ancient capital, second only to the "seven ancient capitals" and is the capital of Jingchu.

3. Fuzhou

Fuzhou, referred to as Rongcheng for short, belongs to Fujian Province, located in the east of Fujian Province, the lower reaches of Minjiang River and coastal areas. It is the capital of Fujian Province, the political, cultural and transportation center of Fujian Province, and one of the central cities in the economic zone on the west side of the Taiwan Strait.

Fuzhou was one of the shipbuilding centers of Soochow during the Three Kingdoms period. During the Taikang period of Jin Dynasty, the first magistrate of Jin 'an County built Fuzhou Zicheng, and dug East Lake, West Lake and Canal (now Jin 'an River), which laid the embryonic form of Fuzhou City in later generations. In 308 (the second year of Yongjia), Jin 'an County became an important settlement of Han immigrants with eight surnames in the Central Plains.

Extended data

The territory of Sun and Wu started from 195 (the second year of Han Xingping) when Sun Ce crossed the river, trying to pacify local forces such as Lu You and Yan Baihu in Jiangdong, covering most areas of Yangzhou Secretariat Department in the Eastern Han Dynasty, including Danyang, Huiji, Luling and Lujiang. During this period, administrative districts were mainly built at the county level. In 200 (the fifth year of Jian 'an in Han Dynasty), Sun Ce died and Sun Quan succeeded to the throne.

During the reign of Sun Quan, the separatist situation gradually took shape. On the basis of the original six counties in Jiangdong, Sun Wu sent troops into the counties, conquered the mountains and Vietnam, and also expanded westward and southward. Battle of Red Cliffs successively gained diplomatic relations with Changsha, Jiangxia, Guiyang and Shixie, and defeated Guan Yude in Nanjun, Wuling and Lingling of Jingzhou, basically occupying Jingzhou, laying the outline of Sun Wu's territory.

In 22 1 year, Wu divided the counties south of Nanling into Hepu, Beihai, Guangxi, Guangzhou in the north and Jiaozhou in the south, and soon merged. After the sun rose, Sun Wu's territory stabilized. After Sun Quan's painstaking efforts, Sun Wu's territory is "the suburbs of Shu in the west, the land of Huai and Han in the north, the land of Baiyue in the east, and the table of barbarians in the south". The establishment of administrative districts in this period mainly started with the strategy of dangerous counties and hostile forces in the northern and western borders.
