Why did Qin Shi Huang build the Great Wall, pestering his old relatives, and going to the country to share the blood and leave no liver and no truce.
After the unremitting efforts of dozens of monarchs across the country, in 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang finally completed unification and hegemony, becoming the most powerful and powerful person in the Central Plains, but he did not revel in the achievements of dominating the world.
On the contrary, he has always been worried and constantly seeking ways to maintain the perpetuation of the Great Qin Empire.
In 220 BC, Qin Shi Huang began to send migrant workers to build the Great Wall, and the Great Wall was completed. There are two theories, one is the folk saying.
When Qin Shi Huang visited the world, he truly felt the western frontier and the eastern coast. The economic and cultural level is very different, and at the same time, he is deeply attracted by a popular alchemist, and has a strong interest in the art of immortality.
Just such a slightly proficient alchemist, Lu Sheng gradually became Qin Shi Huang's favorite minister, and also became the culprit who stimulated Qin Shi Huang to build the Great Wall.
Although Lu Sheng was an alchemist, he had a great influence on the policies of Qin Shi Huang.
Lu Sheng lied that there was a book of heaven that recorded earth-shattering secrets. Tiger's Eye Ancient Lake refers to the northern nomadic peoples. One of Lu Sheng's lies actually gave birth to the Great Wall.
However, the Great Wall is powerful and majestic, and it did not collapse the year before, and it is magnificent. There are also official accounts of the completion of the Great Wall.
This means that Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall to resist the invasion of nomadic peoples. The Great Wall was not invented by Qin Shi Huang himself.
During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, princes began to build the Great Wall in order to resist the invasion of neighboring countries or nomads.
For example, in order to contain the old army, the State of Wei built the Great Wall along the Luoshui River.
In order to resist the State of Qin, the State of Chu also built the Great Wall on the border, the State of Zhao, and the State of Yan.
In order to prevent the Invasion of the Huns, the Great Wall was built in the northern border area. The ancient Huns relied mainly on walking chariots and horseback riding. The establishment of the Great Wall was able to resist the nomadic army at a critical moment. Nomadic peoples are highly mobile, and a single extermination is completely impossible, usually requiring the mobilization of large armies.
Drive them farther away, fight them once a few years, and fight them again every few years. This cycle will cost both manpower and money, and the best way to do this is to build the Great Wall to keep them out.
