Chapter 750: The progress of building the Great Wall slows down

The Xiongnu, a nomadic herder in the north, were unable to graze their cattle because of a drought and locusts that were rare in a century. In desperation! They were forced to come to the realm of Qin and rob their belongings and women.

In the beginning! Simply to survive, forced to do so. After tasting the sweetness, they are no longer for survival, but have evolved into a means and method of survival.

This means and method of survival is: to do everything possible to grab food, property and women from the territory of Qin.

This unearned way of survival is so cool: as long as you have a fast horse and dare to kill. It is better to have martial arts, and it is the same if you have strength without martial arts.

Nima Di! If you run for a ticket, you can eat for a few months when you come back.

With a few people taking the lead, it quickly formed a habit, and then it evolved into a "snatch culture".

At first, it was just a few people who did it, and then a bunch of people did it. In the end, it's everyone who does it!

Group! If you don't form a group, you can't form a group, the people of the Qin State have taken precautions, and if you go with more than ten or twenty people, it is likely that you will be killed by others.

Unless! You're lucky, just robbing a small village with a few families.

If you encounter the local garrison of Qin, if you are less than the number of troops, you will still have no return.

So! As long as you have a little brain, you will know how to form a group.

Development to the end! The Xiongnu formed a whole, and the entire Xiongnu formed a group to resist the resistance of the Qin side.

Originally! The Huns just couldn't survive and came to rob it, it was the survival instinct and survival instinct. Outcome! Develop into a "bandit culture", a culture of getting something for nothing.

And also! What if you don't continue to snatch?

The drought and locusts have wreaked havoc on their pastures, and it will not take a year or two or more for them to recover. In order to survive, how can they not rob?

If you die, you will die, and you will starve!

With this kind of thinking, the Huns developed a culture of snatching.

The land area of the Qin State is so large, and the border defense line is so long, how can it be defended? Can't keep it?

Even if the Qin army slipped on the border in a row, people could still forcibly rush over from somewhere to rob it. By the time you have mobilized the army, they have already succeeded in snatching it, and you will go home and drink the celebratory wine.

In order to ensure the safety of people's lives and property, Qin Shi Huang constantly dispatched troops and horses to block the Xiongnu. But! A rising tide lifts all boats! There were too many Huns who came to Qin to "pan for gold" and beg for a living. Your soldiers and horses are blocked here, and people come in from another place, and they can also succeed.

And also! The Huns who came to rob were all fast horses, and the war horses of the Qin State could not outrun others at all. Other than that! Even if you block people, there is no way to take them. The Huns who came to rob were all born with divine power and superb riding skills. Ordinary soldiers simply can't deal with it. The only ones who can deal with it are the generals of the Qin State.

Nima Di! Where did the Qin State get so many generals?

Later, the Xiongnu infiltrated the hinterland of the Qin state, and while sending people to rob, they also sent people to prevent the Qin army from confronting the Qin army, and ensured that the robbers transported the looted property to the Xiongnu stronghold.

Now! Qin Shi Huang really couldn't sit still, so he ordered: suspend the construction of the Great Wall, and transfer the soldiers and horses who built the Great Wall to deal with the Huns.

To know! When the Qin State swept the six countries and unified the world at its peak, there were six or seven hundred thousand soldiers and horses.

Half of them went to the south to conquer South Vietnam, and there were more than 300,000 troops. Love to read

Since the Great Wall was also built to protect the people, then! Why not slow down the construction of the Great Wall? Mobilize the men and horses to the northwest front.

Still don't believe it? More than 300,000 troops, plus the local people, can't stop the Huns?

In order not to affect the plan to build the Great Wall, Qin Shi Huang had to order to recruit people from the people to continue to build the Great Wall.

Fighting the Xiongnu is to serve the people, and building the Great Wall is also to serve the people, so! The people must listen.

Outcome! In order to accomplish their tasks, some officials below have no regard for the actual conditions of the people's lives.

Outcome! Later, there was a legend of Meng Jiangnu crying down the Great Wall, or a story close to the truth.

The general responsible for the construction of the Great Wall was Meng Tian, and at that time Wang Jian and his son had already retired and returned to the fiefdom to enjoy happiness.

Meng Tian was born in a family of famous generals, the son of Mengwu in Neishi, and the grandson of Shangqing Mengfu.

During the period when Qin Shi Huang unified the Six Kingdoms, that is, in 221 BC, Meng Tian led his army to break through Jixi, and Wang Ben and Li Xin attacked Qi from Yannan and defeated Qi in one fell swoop. Therefore! Meng Tian was deeply favored by Qin Shi Huang and worshiped as an internal history.

Under the siege of Meng Tian's army of more than 300,000 people, the Hun army that stopped it was quickly defeated. And then! Annihilate the Huns who sneaked into the interior to rob them. Of course! It's not all annihilation, but how much can be annihilated. The horses of the Huns were so fast and so skilled in horsemanship that it was impossible to annihilate them all.

Although the urgent need was solved and the problem of the Xiongnu robbery was temporarily solved, the situation on the Xiongnu side did not ease. People are only a temporary failure, and under the instinct of survival, they still have to come and snatch it.

Other than that! Where there is killing, there is hatred. Many Huns refused to accept this breath and came to rob and retaliate.

Although the drought and locust plague had passed, production had not resumed. Other than that! The great plague will be followed by a great plague.

So! The question of the survival of the Huns was not solved. Therefore! It will only come back and make a comeback.

OK! Before this, Qin Shi Huang followed the advice of his grandfather Peng Zhou: garrison the frontier!

I have stationed my army on the frontier forever, do you dare to come?

As for the issue of military spending! Grandfather Peng Zhou has already given a solution: let the meritorious people in the army marry on the spot and settle their homes here.

And that's not all! In order to solve a series of problems, it is also necessary to migrate some populations to the past.

There is no local population, and with whom do the meritorious people in the army marry? Where did the women come from without a population?

Fortunately, the troubled times have just ended, and there are women in the world. There are so many women that they can't get married, and when they hear that officers in the army and people with military merits can get married, why don't they sign up one by one?

Migration is not a casual migration, but! Migrate people to suitable land for survival, and it is a fortified area. Garrison the army nearby, and all the people are soldiers.

Although meritorious soldiers can marry and make a home here. But! It is still necessary to implement militarized management. You have to go out every day for drills and militarized training before you can go home to farm and take care of your wife and children.

Those ordinary soldiers who did not marry also had to develop the land on the spot and be self-sufficient. Of course! It is to be self-sufficient as much as possible and not rely on the Qin side.

Really! In just two or three years, the policy of stationing troops in the frontiers has seen results.

Other words! It not only prevented the invasion of the Xiongnu in a real sense, but also saved a lot of military expenses for the Qin State. Other than that! The population of the northwestern frontier has increased rapidly.

To Qin Shi Huang's regret, after more than 300,000 troops stationed on the frontier, the process of building the Great Wall slowed down.
