The wasteland next to the road 2 can be seen from the level of wasteland. It has been abandoned for several decades, so that even the most basic weeds and the remains of crops can not be found. Only occasionally exposed fields can be seen. It is farmland and the soil on which the 100 old people depend.

Changes in the environment have made the climate here more and more dry. There is almost no trace of moisture in the air. It feels a little uncomfortable to breathe the air here. The nose and mouth make people feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, Li An sitting in the car can effectively avoid being invaded by sand and dust.

That is, the distance of a dozen or more li roads, which was still tree-lined just now, became Barren’s Desert in a blink of an eye, and the huge changes in this environment are too great to make it difficult to adapt for a while.

However, after a sum of distances, trees appeared next to the road 2, which shows that Dejing County is already not far, and there must be water sources around the county, otherwise, the county will not exist.

Sure enough, soon there was more and more vegetation along the road, and even farmland began to appear, and a distant city could be seen vaguely in the distance, and Dejing County was close at hand.

“Minister Li, Dejing County is almost here, is it an advanced city?”

The guard asked.

Li An shook his head and said: “Forget it, don’t go. This time I came to see the Great Wall ruins. I don’t enter the city. I went directly to the Qin Great Wall ruins in the 2 Lidi to the west of Dejing County.”

“Yes, my subordinates understand.”

No one was notified when he came, so no one would greet him out of town. This is in line with Li An’s intentions. He didn’t want to let the county officials greet him. This is really troublesome.

The convoy went straight to the Qin Great Wall ruins in the Western District 2 and quickly arrived there.

However, Li An was a little disappointed. The Great Wall in his imagination should be very tall and majestic, and the Great Wall in front of him appeared a little low, and it was still very broken.

“This is the ruins of the Great Wall of Qin? It looks too broken.”

Li An said disappointedly.

“It’s the abandoned Great Wall. It would be nice to have this.”

Li Hanlu replied.

Li An nodded, let the guards admire the surrounding scenery casually, and then pull Li Hanlu onto the ruined city wall.

“Wife be careful, pay attention to your feet, don’t fall 10000000.”

Li An very intimately helped Li Hanlu walk up to the Great Wall ruins.

Although the ruins of the Great Wall are somewhat ruined, the quality is relatively reliable at the time of manufacture, so even if it is broken, the quality is enough to support humans walking on it without collapsing.

Like the Tong 10000 city, the Great Wall here is also piled with loess, which is very different from the stone city wall in Li An’s impression. After all, the loess resources in Xiazhou are relatively abundant, but the stone resources are relatively scarce. In order to save costs as much as possible, it is necessary to use loess to build the city. Therefore, whether it is a tall city or the Great Wall that was once built, the local loess materials can be seen everywhere.

The strength of loess materials is naturally worse than that of stones, especially in terms of resistance to scorched and drenched by sun and rain, the advantages of stone are too great, but loess is difficult to withstand the erosion of rain. The resistance to sunlight and strong winds is also weak, so it is easier to weather. If it is not repaired in time, the entire wall will slowly be abandoned, thus becoming a deserted city wall.

The City Wall section that Li An and Li Hanlu boarded is only more than 3 meters high, and its original height should be more than that. It is long-term scorched and drenched by sun and rain and weathering, which gradually reduced the height of the city wall.

“Look! This is the Great Wall of the Great Qin Empire. Although it was already ruined at the moment, it was very tall when it was first built.”

Li An looked towards the north, said.

The Great Wall of Qin is a treasure of the Chinese nation and a miracle in World architecture. It is called a miracle because the scale of the Great Wall is so large that the 100 surnames of Huaxia can use such primitive technology to build such a huge building. Naturally make future generations sigh.

“It’s just a wall. Where can such a long city wall have enough troops to defend it? Isn’t it a waste to build a city wall of this size.”

Li Hanlu is not very optimistic about the Great Wall. She thinks that the construction of the Great Wall is a waste of money for the people. It is a waste of resources. Because she feels that a city wall of this length cannot stop the northern soldiers from going south, and the facts seem to prove this. .

However, it is not that the Great Wall is completely useless, it is still somewhat useful. Its existence can strengthen the defensive power of the Central Plains dynasty, as long as the strength of the northern nomads is not too strong, it will not pose a threat to the Great Wall.

In addition, the ruling institutions of the northern nomads are relatively loose. In many cases, the leaders of the northern nomads simply cannot effectively manage all the tribes under their command. Some tribes may not want to listen to the leaders 鈥檕rders and invade the south.

For example, dozens of people and hundreds of small-scale nomadic cavalry will invade the Central Plains County from time to time, plunder a large number of people and property, and then return to the grassland with satisfaction. Such a large amount of small-scale southward intrusion is very harmful. In the Central Plains dynasty, after the Great Wall was built, these small-scale nomadic cavalry were powerless. Their number was too small. Even if they wanted to dismantle a City Wall section, it would not be able to do it in a short time, and, when After they looted, they had to go back from the opened mouth, and if they were blocked here, they would probably not be able to go back, so naturally they would not dare to go south and invade at will.

As for the large-scale nomad cavalry going south, the Great Wall also has strong defensive power. It is not easy to build the Great Wall. Similarly, it is not too simple to demolish the Great Wall. At that time, you must also go back from these places, and you cannot do as one pleases to return from any direction, which is very restrictive. Moreover, the removal of the city wall is time-consuming and laborious, and it will certainly not be removed too wide. If the mouth is too small, the speed of Armed Forces passing will be greatly limited, which will delay the swiftness of Armed Forces. Once the returned mouth is blocked, and the horses of the central dynasty are pressed again, these nomad cavalry are dangerous. Too.

Therefore, no matter what, the existence of the Great Wall definitely has a great effect. The role in defense is obvious. No one can ignore the important defense role of the Great Wall.

The construction of the Great Wall definitely did not start from the Qin Dynasty. In the previous Spring and Autumn and Warring States period, the construction of the Great Wall has already begun.

At that time, the most active construction of the Great Wall was Qin Country, Zhao Guo and Kingdom of Yan. These three countries are all powerful countries located in the north. They are deeply invaded by nomadic people in the north. Qin Country has righteous channels and Xiongnu; Zhao Guo has Linhu and Loufan in the northwest, Hutu and Xiongnu in the north; Kingdom of Yan has Donghu in the north.

Since Middle-Stage of the Warring States period, they have been constantly plundering the northern regions of Qin, Zhao and Yan. Because they are good at riding and shooting, they are better at field battles, they take sudden attacks, come and go, are elusive, and show strong battle strength. The Qin, Zhao, and Yan War Section teams in the Warring States Middle-Stage are mainly infantry and war chariots, wearing wide-clothed and large-sleeved clothing, and their movements are slow. The daily travel is 3 to 30 li. Naturally, they cannot stop the attacks and looting of the Huns and Donghu.

This not only severely threatened the lives and property of the people in the northern part of the three countries, but also severely damaged production, but also greatly affected the hegemony of the three countries. As a last resort, these three countries can only use the method of building the Great Wall to resist these come and go without The nomadic cavalry of a shadow or trace uses the Great Wall to limit the mobility of these nomadic cavalry, and once the mobility of the cavalry is limited, the formidable power is greatly restricted, and can no longer be do as one pleases.

Of course, in the face of the threat of nomads, it is obviously not enough to build the Great Wall alone. It is also necessary to change the military system and form new powerful arms to deter the Xiongnu in the north, and at the same time, deter opponents to hegemony.

For example, after the Shangyang reform, Qin Country began to implement the strategy of strengthening the country and strengthening the soldiers. The army has carried out in-depth reforms, changing the original car soldiers mainly to cavalry and infantry, especially focusing on the construction of cavalry, so that step by step Build a powerful Great Qin iron ride.

Zhao Guo 鈥檚 Zhao Wu Spirit King is also a reform of the military system, which allows domestic soldiers to wear Hu people 鈥檚 clothes and conduct strict cavalry training. Historically called Hu clothing and shooting, after this strategy, Zhao Guo soon appeared With an extremely powerful cavalry Legion, Zhao Wu Spirit King relied on this super cavalry Legion, first attacked north, hitting the nomadic Lin Hu from an evil badly with many teeth knocked out, Lin Hu Wang offered horses to beg for surrender, and then This kind of cavalry Legion broke through the Zhongshan Kingdom and enlarged Zhao 鈥檚 territory. Afterwards, he stepped up to explore the country in a step-by-step manner, laying a large territory for Zhao.

Kingdom of Yan is the weakest among the seven warring States, the south is the powerful Qi State of Western Zhou, the west is the powerful Zhao State, and the north has the nomadic regime like Donghu. The living environment can be described as extremely harsh. In order to change this Passive situation, so that he can survive, Kingdom of Yan first bowed down to please Donghu in the north, let the middle school General go to Donghu to hostage, so as to understand the dangers of Donghu 鈥檚 mountains and rivers, the situation of defense, the law of military activities, after returning home, he led Armed Forces attacked Donghu and defeated Donghu. Then, in order to defend Donghu’s revenge, he built the Great Wall on the northern border to protect the security of the country.

Of course, the Great Wall in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period is not only the Qin Country, Zhao Guo and Kingdom of Yan. In many countries in the South and the East and in COSCO, the Great Wall has been built.

For example, the State of Chu in the southern country built a great wall to defend its neighbors. Qi State of Western Zhou also built a long city wall to defend its neighbors in the Central Plains. The Great Wall in Wei Country is even more powerful. There are many articles and the route is very long. After all, Wei Country is located in the Central Plains. There are many countries to be defended and there is a great demand for the Great Wall. South Korea also has a section length city after the Zheng Guo was defeated. Defend Zhao Guo and build the Great Wall.

However, the scale and fame of these Great Walls are far inferior to those of the Qin Zhaoyan 3 countries. The main reason for this situation is that after the Great Qin Empire unified the world, it mobilized a lot of civilian power to connect the Qin Zhaoyan 3 Great Wall. Together, it becomes the northern boundary of the COSCO dynasty, which can be continuously repaired and maintained. The rest of these Great Walls, because they are inside the unified territory of the COSCO dynasty, do not have any importance and wo n鈥檛 gain the slightest The funds for repairs were gradually destroyed naturally, and some of them were demolished by nearby officials and 100 surnames, and their materials were used to build the buildings they needed. Therefore, there is almost no preservation in later generations. The Great Wall has always existed to resist the southward movement of nomadic people in the north, and its fame has naturally grown. People will think of the Qin and Wei dynasties whenever they see the Great Wall on the northern border.

In the Early-Stage of the Han Dynasty, due to the wars in the Central Plains, the Great Wall was unmaintained and there was not enough troops to guard it, but the Huns suddenly became strong, so they easily crossed the Great Wall built by Meng Tian and entered the Hetao region. The dynasty was continually harassed and violated by the Xiongnu cavalry, and the frontier people were miserable.

In order to deal with the Huns going south, the Han ancestor Liu Bang led Armed Forces to attack the Huns. As a result, he was besieged when Bai Deng was killed.

Then came the pro-policy policy known to all future generations. In the case of the Great Wall of the North being captured by the Huns, the Han Dynasty can rely on the old Great Wall of Qin Zhaoyan, which is slightly south. These great walls are very dilapidated, but Even the ruined Great Wall still plays a lot of roles. At least, the southward expedition within the size of 1000 people of the Huns is basically eliminated, because a small force of the southward means that there is no back and forth, and it will be beaten. Injured badly with many teeth knocked out of.

Later, the Han Dynasty went out of Li Guang, Cheng Wuzhi and other famous guards of the Great Wall. They were responsible for defending the Huns. The small-scale Huns simply had no chance of going south, and even the main force of the Huns could go down. Without these dilapidated Great Walls, even a famous general like Li Guang could not resist the Huns cavalry going south.

Afterwards, Wei Qing and Huo went to the North to attack the Huns. They were also the main strongholds of attack and defense. With the powerful wall of defensive power, Wei Qing and Huo Going to the North had no worries, and then defeated the Huns. The Xiongnu escaped to the north, thus regaining the Hetao area that was lost in the early Han Dynasty, repairing the Qin Great Wall built by Meng Tian, 鈥嬧€媋nd also building the Great Wall, allowing the reputation of the Han Dynasty to spread throughout the world.

After the Great Han Dynasty, all dynasties paid great attention to the maintenance and expansion of the Great Wall. Among them, the dynasty with a relatively large expansion was the Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty. This is probably because the Ming Dynasty is facing greater threats from the north!

The Great Tang Imperial Court is naturally not active enough to build the Great Wall. After all, the territory of the Great Tang has been extended to Mobei. The Great Wall has become the city wall inside the Great Tang, rather than the side wall defending foreign enemies. In this case, think It is obviously impossible for the ruler to attach importance to such an internal city wall.
