Time back to 208 AD, the period of the Three Kingdoms. After Liu Bei captured Jingzhou, Cao Cao unified the Central Plains, while Sun Quan occupied the six counties of Jiangdong.
These six counties are Yuzhang, Danyang, Huiji, Wujun, Lujiang and Xin'an. Each county name carries the rich history and unique culture of the Koto region. Let's step into this time of stories and explore the places these six counties represent.
In 208 AD, Sun Quan stood on the wall of Yuzhang County near the river, looking at the rushing river and the blue sky. His heart was full of great ambitions.
Located in the core area of Jiangnan, Yuzhang County has been a political, economic, and cultural center since ancient times. The climate is mild, the land is fertile, and rice and silk are abundant. Sun Quan understood that only by consolidating Yuzhang's rule could he establish the status of Eastern Wu on the Jiangdong continent.
Danyang County is located in the northwest of Jiangdong, adjacent to Yuzhang County. It has beautiful mountains and rivers and a long history. Danyang is famous for its beautiful scenery and abundant resources.
In the city of Danyang, Sun Quan plotted how to bring this rich land under the rule of Eastern Wu in order to further strengthen his national power.
Huiji County is located at the southern end of the eastern part of the river, with the mountains in its back and facing the sea. The landscape here is magnificent and has a unique geographical environment. Huiji has been a thriving area for commerce and trade since ancient times, and many sea routes pass through here.
Sun Quan was well aware of the importance of Huiji, and he hoped to lay a solid foundation for the prosperity of Soochow by strengthening his economic and military control over Huiji.
Wu County is Sun Quan's hometown and where his family is located. Wu County is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River estuary, the terrain is flat, drought and flood are rare.
It is rich in human history and is closely linked to the rule of Soochow. Sun Quan hoped that by strengthening the governance and development of Wu County, it would become the political and cultural center of Eastern Wu.
Lujiang County is located in the southwest of Jiangdong, with undulating terrain and abundant natural resources. It is a region rich in agricultural and mineral resources, with pleasant mountains and rivers and a suitable climate.
Recognizing the strategic location and potential of the Lujiang River, Sun Quan worked to strengthen his control over the river in order to consolidate the unity of the eastern part of the country.
Finally, Sin'an-gun is located in the northern part of Gangdong and is the frontier region of Soochow. The terrain is difficult and the strategic location is important.
Sun Quan was well aware of the importance of strengthening his rule in the frontier regions, and he worked hard to develop the economic and military power of Xin'an in order to protect the territory of Eastern Wu from foreign enemies.
Sun Quan faced many difficulties and challenges in the process of unifying Jiangdong, but he successfully stabilized the situation in these six counties and ensured the unification of Eastern Wu through political means and military struggle.
As Eastern Wu became more and more stable, Sun Quan began to strengthen the development of these six counties. He made full use of the resources of this land to promote the development of agricultural production and commerce, and increase the income and welfare of the people.
He paid attention to the construction of internal affairs, built cities, strengthened public security and education, and improved the quality of life and cultural level of the people.
The lavish palaces and temples of Yuzhang County were built and restored under Sun Quan's reign, and became the political and cultural center of Eastern Wu. He gathered both wise and brave talents, assembled a powerful army, and consolidated his control over Yuzhang.
This enabled Soochow to effectively deal with the invasion of foreign forces, and achieved major victories in exterminating bandits and quelling rebellions.
The development of Danyang County benefits from Danyang's unique geographical conditions and abundant resources. Sun Quan improved the efficiency of farmland cultivation and increased agricultural production by building an irrigation system. In the same way, he encouraged commercial and trade activities, built ports and markets, and promoted the prosperity and exchange of Danyang.
The port economy of Huiji County was strongly supported by Sun Quan. He widened the shipping lanes, strengthened the management of the docks and customs, and attracted more merchant ships and commercial activities. Huiji became one of the important commercial centers in Jiangdong and the gateway to the entire Soochow Empire.
Sun Quan built Wu County into the political and cultural core of Eastern Wu. He built magnificent palaces, temples, and libraries, gathered scholars and scholars, and supported education and scholarship. Kure County became the soul of Soochow, bringing together all kinds of wisdom and art.
Lujiang County was rich in resources, which led Sun Quan to regard it as an important industrial and military base. He developed the coal, iron and silver mines of the Lujiang River, built arsenals and shipyards, and strengthened his military power. Lujiang County became the military support point of Soochow and played a key role in protecting the territory of Jiangdong.
The frontier status of Xin'an County forced Sun Quan to strengthen the management and protection of this land. He stepped up the construction of border walls and set up border guards to defend the territory of Soochow from the invasion of northern forces.
At the same time, he also actively recruited talents from various ethnic groups in the local area, contributing to the economic and cultural development of Sinan-gun.
The unified development of the six counties allowed Jiangdong to flourish under Sun Quan's rule. With his wise talent and perseverance, Sun Quan consolidated the position of Soochow and brought prosperity and stability to Jiangdong.
