In 1865, Xinjiang fell and the Forbidden City was abandoned.
A Hunan crazy student who failed three times cried out: "Give me ten years and one soldier, and I will bring one-sixth of China back!"
Zuo Zongtang, before the age of 48, was the "contemporary Zhuge Liang" who failed repeatedly. After the age of 48, he carried a coffin and went into battle. He used chili noodles to train the Hunan army to survive in the desert, and used arithmetic to crack the Aguba Fortress.
He single-handedly fought against the giant bear of Tsarist Russia, planted three thousand miles of "Zuogong Willow" in the Gobi, and finally used a coffin to delineate the hardest national boundary in modern China.
This is not history, but a true legend of how 1.6 Million square kilometers of land came home inch by inch.
Open this book and see how a scholar makes the world understand: China's mountains and rivers cannot be missing even an inch.
