[edit] Former Balhae provinces

Manzhou Yuanliu Gao provides records which show that the Balhae had occupied the Bisa Fortress at the southern tip of the Liaodong Peninsula. The History of Liao records that the Balhae established provinces at the Sin Fortress, Gaemo Fortress, Baegam Fortress, Yodong Fortress and Ansi Fortress area in Liaodong, as well as a substantial portion of the Liaoxi area. The Balhae sovereign’s message to Yamato Kingdom in 796 states that it has recovered the entire old Goguryeo territory and its ruler’s authority now shines beyond the Liao River. The Balhae came to occupy almost the whole of Manchuria, including the Songhua and Ussuri basins as well as the whole adjoining coastal zone along the Sea of Japan (East Sea).
