Da Qin: Rebuked the dissatisfied ministers, held the sword towards the emperor at the beginning

Chapter 102 [Little Ice Age]: The unsolvable situation at the end of the dynasty!

If you want the nomads to be able to sing and dance completely, the first step is to have Gatling with blue fire, and the second step is to make the grassland barren...

Both of these are impossible for the time being.

Or rather.

If the northern border is completely turned into a barren desert, it will actually be of no benefit to China.

In the future Silk Road, the difficulty of foreign trade will increase exponentially.

As for the Gatling firearm...

It's too ridiculous.

The various conditions in the pre-Qin era could at best produce a flintlock gun.

Gatling with blue fire is completely unthinkable.

suddenly.

Three public seats.

Guo Wei Tu Ju stepped forward to replace Ren Xiaoshu and said: "Qin Yucheng, I also believe that the disadvantages of building the Great Wall far outweigh the benefits."

Yin Lie cupped his hands and said, "I would like to hear your advice."

"On the vast northern grasslands, it is very difficult to kill all the barbarians."

Guowei Tuju thought for a while and said: "But connecting the Great Wall for thousands of miles, there is also a crux that cannot be ignored, that is, it will force the nomads to unite."

“The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, so basically all the routes for the barbarians to go south are blocked. If a small group of nomadic tribes dare to cross the Great Wall alone to clear grass valleys, it will be easy to get in... But if they want to return to the grassland with a large amount of supplies, it will be more difficult than climbing to the sky. "

"Therefore, the connection of the Great Wall will promote the unification of the nomads, because if they do not unite, they may not survive the next winter."

……

Guowei Tu Ju is worthy of being ranked among the three princes, and he has two great heritages: political strategist and military strategist.

He can have this insight into the Great Wall.

It shows that his level is really high.

Unlike Jun Hou Renxiao and others, they are more straightforward in speaking and doing things, which is a bit too reckless.

"To sum up!"

Guowei Tu Ju concluded: "The construction of the Great Wall, coupled with Li Xin's lightning raid on the Northern Expedition, will at most severely damage the Huns' vitality, but it will not be enough to completely annihilate the Huns."

"Besides the Xiongnu, the forces of Dayue clan and Donghu are actually even greater."

"Then based on the logic that the nomads will inevitably unify due to the emergence of the Great Wall, it is very likely that the Da Yueshi will annex the remaining Xiongnu and then unite or capture the Donghu..."

"At that time, King Dayuezhi will become a real great chanyu of the grassland, and he will definitely become the close enemy of our Great Qin, a thorn in his side!"

……

Guo Wei Tu Ju analyzed Yin Lie's strategic layout.

First: Continue to build the Great Wall.

Second: Send Li Xin with [-] elite troops to defeat the Xiongnu, banish the wolf to Xu, drink from the vast sea of ​​horses, and rob the Xiongnu's golden man.

This move can indeed break the destiny prophecy of "Hu, the One Who Destroys Qin" on the Dongjun meteorite.

It can continue to develop according to Yin Lie's strategic layout...

Guo Wei Tu Ju felt it was not appropriate.

Da Qin might have an [-]% success rate by sending its elite sneak attack.

Not necessarily the second time.

The tragic situation of the Huns will definitely arouse the vigilance of Dayuezhi and Donghu.

and so.

Guo Wei Tu Ju believed that Da Qin's lightning raid could never be repeated and could only be carried out once at most.

in this way.

It seems that the Northern Expedition really needs to be discussed.

"Guowei, first I need to refute your first point."

Yin Lie said solemnly: "The most critical factor for the nomadic tribes to unify the alliance is not whether the Great Wall is connected!"

"It's about whether a hero will appear in the north!"

"Secondly, the unification of the Central Plains will create pressure and a sense of crisis for the nomads!"

"The last connection to the Great Wall..."

……

Yin Lie clarified the entire sequence of inducements caused by Guo Wei Tuju's theory of threat to grassland unification.

That is: if the North wants to unite, it will threaten Kyushu China.

The first thing is to create a hero, and then there is the sense of oppression from the unification of the Central Plains...

to be honest.

The Great Wall is actually the embodiment of the oppression factor that unites the Central Plains!

If the land of Kyushu is divided.

Then the Great Wall cannot connect thousands of miles.

The same reason.

Even if the Great Wall is not built.

Is it possible that a unified empire can still allow the barbarians to go south to hunt for grass and valleys?
This is not a trouble!
In a word.

The nomads in the north had nothing they wanted. They had no choice but to go south and plunder the necessities such as salt and ironware.

When China was in a state of division.

The nomads in the north can easily exploit loopholes, and there is no harm in being a little more reckless.

But as long as China achieves unification, the nomads in the north will definitely be exploited if they continue to roam around.

So come on.

In order to resist the counterattack of the Chinese dynasty, the nomads in the north will also spontaneously move towards an alliance.

In fact, it has no decisive relationship with whether the Great Wall is connected thousands of miles away.

Guowei Tu Ju belongs to Chi Guoguo's secret exchange concept.

"In addition, for the nomads in the north, it is impossible for us to decide the situation once and for all in one battle and for all generations to come."

Yin Lie glanced at Junhou Renxiao and said: "Because the northern grasslands will continue to breed new barbarians, even if we temporarily drive the nomads to the west..."

"In ten or twenty years, they will come back again."

“The weeds that grow in spring are hard to kill and hard to drive away!”

"Therefore, the Great Wall must connect thousands of miles, and serve as the dragon vein of China to protect Jiuzhou for eternity!"

……

The specific role of the Great Wall.

Yin Lie didn't want to go into too much detail.

The various military princes of the Junwu Xungui faction must know the importance of the Great Wall better than he does.

It was just that Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo and Xin Sheng were eager to fight, so they deliberately stepped on the Great Wall.

for example.

If the Oara nomadic tribes of the Ming Dynasty in later generations wanted to go south to clear grass valleys, they had no choice but to dig in the ground because the Great Wall had nowhere to go around.

To put it bluntly, it means digging a big hole or gap in the Great Wall so that people and some horses can pass through.

If time is too urgent.

You can only pass people, not horses.

Because when the Ming army discovered the Wala people, they would immediately light up the smoke and report the location of the Wala people.

Since then.

When the important border defense towns of the Ming Army learned that the Oara people were attacking, they would begin to assemble their troops and prepare for battle.

But the reaction of the Ming army always takes time, and the march also takes time.

The Wala people can make a time difference.

After digging the Great Wall.

Go straight to the target town, plunder all kinds of things, then return with a full load, and return the same way.

But when the Wala people arrive at the old place, they will find...

The Ming army has repaired the gaps in the Great Wall!

In other words.

When the Ming army learned that Wala was heading south to clear grass valleys, its first move was not to resist the enemy, but to mend the Great Wall.

As long as the Great Wall is repaired.

If the Wala people cannot go back, they will become turtles in the urn!
Attack the Great Wall?

The small tribe of Oara people does not have that strength.

then what should we do?

After plundering a large amount of supplies, the heavily laden Wala people had no choice but to wander around the edge of the Great Wall, trying to find weak points for an assault.

But wherever they go, the flames of war will burn.

first day.

The Wara people's fighting strength is still there.

The Ming army will not attack, but will harass them in various ways.

The second day, the third day, the fourth day...

The Wara people are anxious, impatient, and unable to rest, and the endurance and physical strength of the war horses will also be continuously consumed.

Wait until five to seven days later.

The Wara people's combat effectiveness will be consumed to a minimum value.The Ming army would launch a war of annihilation at dawn, beheading all invading enemies in one fell swoop.

Since then.

The Ming army each had a share of the supplies the Huns snatched.

If you give it back to the people, you will definitely not be able to pay it back.

And they can also repay their merits through the head of the Wala people!

Anyway, the Ming Dynasty's border troops always had ways to maximize their profits.

In summary.

We can conclude the role of the Great Wall.

First: Stop the Huns’ horses as much as possible.

Second: alert, send messages, and use smoke to locate the approximate location of the Huns.

Third: Trap the invading enemy to death.

This is all the wonderful uses of Dragon Vein in Northern China!

……

Back to this moment.

on the throne.

Ying Zheng said decisively: "Qin Qing's words are reasonable. The Great Wall must be repaired. How can the Chinese Dragon Vein be missing?"

Ying Zheng is very optimistic about the Great Wall itself.

He understood what the Junwu Xungui faction meant.

It’s nothing more than using the Great Wall as a small argument.

Then ask for a battle!
Ying Zheng originally had a brave heart towards the military leader Ren Xiao and others...

He said he was very relieved.

Wen Nengzhi!
Fight with force!
In fact, it is the embodiment of a strong country.

however.

Now after various hints and explicit instructions from Yin Lie.

Ying Zheng finally realized...the Junwu Xungui faction was really too eager to fight!

This is not because Ying Zheng is not sharp enough.

But what the First Emperor originally pursued was extreme domineering.

The generals under his command dare to fight and can fight!
Before, the First Emperor would only feel extremely normal.

pity.

This is a moment.

After the world is at peace.

Military princes such as Ren Xiao, Zhao Tuo, and Xin Sheng were still too eager to fight, which was the source of the inertia of militarism.

off the field.

"..."

Guowei Tu Ju returned to his position.

Military Marquis Ren Xiao and others could not hide their disappointment.

Naturally, they will not look at their own problems.

They just feel...

At the moment, the emperor really listens to Yin Lie's words, and nothing they say will work.

That being the case.

They were left with only one option.

There is no need for public discussion!

Just get rid of Yin Lie and everything will be fine!
Just as the entire Junwu Xungui faction was like eggplants beaten by frost.

Yin Lie spoke up again: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, according to records... In the last years of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, Guifang, Quanrong, and Laiyi from the north moved south to invade at the same time!"

During the Yin and Shang Dynasties, most of the nomads in the north were ghosts!

It originated from the Dakai clan, which was married to Emperor Xuanyuan Huangdi...

It once posed a great threat to the Central Plains!
"And the reason why Onikata, Inurong and Raiyi have such a tacit understanding is because of the [Little Ice Age]!"

Yin Lie proposed a brand new term for celestial phenomena in later generations.

He had to talk about this specifically.

After all, it involves the battle for survival between China and the nomads in later generations!

"The so-called [Little Ice Age] is actually an increase in wind cold in the north and an extension of winter!"

Yin Lie looked around and said in a deep voice: "When encountering such a special celestial phenomenon, the northern nomads must all go south, otherwise they may really die!"

"In the face of the survival of the group, they will be more united than ever before and become extremely aggressive!"

"By then, the role of the Great Wall will be perfectly demonstrated!"

"No matter when we rely on the Great Wall to fight against the barbarians, at least half of our advantages in weather, geography, and people will be on our side!"

"If there was no Great Wall... you can imagine for a moment, as the winter intensifies, hundreds of thousands of barbarians move south to settle down, what kind of devastating blow it will cause to the soldiers and civilians at the border!"

……

The [Little Ice Age] actually not only forced the nomads to go south to fight for living space!

It will also make the Chinese Dynasty suffer many blows!
such as.

Later generations from the Yuan Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty were the Little Ice Age.

During the reign of the Yuan Dynasty.

A mere hundred years.

Floods alone occurred 92 times.

After the flood, there must be a severe drought.

There have been 86 recorded droughts.

After a severe drought, plague will appear again...

Followed by hail disasters, locust plagues, earthquakes, hurricanes, and blizzards.

Each of the above happened dozens of times in the Yuan Dynasty!
This is a very scary number.

The Ming Dynasty lasted from the early years of Hongwu to the 18th year of Chongzhen...

A total of about 300 years.

Natural disasters have occurred more than [-] times!
The Manchu and Qing Dynasties were even more exaggerated.

If we count from Qianlong to Xuantong's abdication, it is only 170 years.

All kinds of disasters can reach the total of 300 years of the Ming Dynasty!

That is: the [Little Ice Age] will cause a sharp increase in natural disasters in China, and the temperature will also drop significantly!

Needless to say, when it comes to food, if you rely on the weather for food, production will definitely be greatly reduced!
Many people in later generations believe that...

The demise of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Manchu Qing Dynasty were nothing but scabies!
The continuation of the [Little Ice Age] was the fundamental reason for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty.

Yin Lie said...it makes some sense!
therefore!

Only then did he specifically mention the "Little Ice Age" at the first major court meeting after the return of the First Emperor.

This move is equivalent to carving a [Northern Celestial Marker] for future generations!
Wait until you encounter a similar situation in the future!
At least you can know what's going on!

It won't make your eyes dark...

on the throne.

"Chang Shi, go check the celestial records of the northern border in the last years of the Yin and Shang Dynasties."

Ying Zheng is a proper activist.

Naturally, he didn’t know what the [Little Ice Age] was.

But since Yin Lie mentioned the specific year, he simply brought out the actual records to check...

"His Majesty."

Yin Lie added: "Also check the frequency of natural disasters in the late Yin and Shang Dynasties."

Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng immediately raised his chin as a signal.

Chang Shi led the edict and went to check for evidence.

soon.

Chang Shi returned and reported: "Reporting to your majesty, according to records, the celestial phenomena in the late Shang Dynasty were indeed very strange. The temperature plummeted in the winter, but there was a ten-year [severe drought in the late Shang Dynasty]."

"In addition, plagues, hurricanes, earthquakes, and locust plagues all occur frequently!"

"Then King Zhou was told by King Wen of Zhou: If you offend God, you are an unruly king!"

"To sum up, disasters occurred frequently in the last years of the Yin and Shang Dynasties, with starvation and death everywhere, Guifang, Quanrong, and Laiyi from the north all moved south, and the Zhou Dynasty rebelled..."

……

no doubt.

The current situation of the Yin and Shang Dynasties was basically the same as that of the Ming Dynasty in later generations.

Internal and external troubles!

No solution!

Yin Lie cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty! Frequent natural disasters, severe winters, sharp decreases in grain production, invasions by northern barbarians, and rising rebellions... These are all the signs of the [Little Ice Age] in Kyushu China!"

Ying Zheng: "..."
