"They are building fortifications and defenses to prevent the invasion of the barbarian Huns." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Faced with Xiao Tao's doubts, Wu Fei answered.

"But isn't the Great Qin Empire already unified? Why do you still need to build fortifications"?

Wu Fei's answer made Xiao Tao stunned again.

In her cognition, now the entire country has achieved great unification, the Seven Kingdoms are under the rule of Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, and the people everywhere live and work in peace and contentment, and have a stable living environment. But she didn't know that although King Yingzheng of Qin had unified the seven kingdoms in war for the first time, the unification area was only limited to the Central Plains. For example, the border pass was not included in the territory of the Great Qin Empire. Because these places are barren land, the natural environment and climate are harsh, and there are few human tracks.

Compared with the fertile Central Plains, the border land is no different from the barren land. Except for some sparsely populated nomads or barbarians living in these areas, ordinary Central Plains people would not go to this kind of place to survive.

Although the border area is sparsely populated, and the number of nomadic minorities and barbarian tribes is small, if they are united, it is an unscrupulous army of tigers and wolves. These people deal with wolves, insects, tigers and leopards all year round, and eat the meat of animals as their main food, coupled with the harsh climate, so their personalities become bloodthirsty, irritable, and full of predatory. Whatever you like, whether it is useful to yourself or not, grab it first and keep it for yourself.

Killing people and setting fires is as simple as daily routine for them.

Before the unification of the Seven Kingdoms, their border areas were often harassed by nomads and barbarians living in the border areas, which seriously threatened the lives and property of the local people. Therefore, in order to resist the invasion of these barbarians, the Seven Kingdoms almost all built walls piled up with huge stones in the border pass areas as protective barriers.

Qin Shi Huang - Ying Zheng unified the seven kingdoms, and after completing the unification of the world, of course, he did not want his people and Jiangshan Sheji to be harassed and violated by the nomads in the border passes, so he ordered Meng Tian to personally lead the troops to be responsible, and the walls built by the original seven kingdoms in the border passes were connected and reinforced, forming a huge barrier around the border passes of the Great Qin Empire to protect the safety of the people in the empire.

Of course, this is only part of the reason, as for the other reason, that is, Ying Zheng hopes that with the impregnable barrier of the Great Wall, the Great Qin Empire can be passed on for thousands of years in the hands of future generations, and it will never be extinguished.

"Yes, although Your Majesty has now completed the pattern of unification of the world, there are still a large number of nomads and barbarians living in the border areas of the empire's territory, and they harass and plunder the residents living in the border areas from time to time. Therefore, in order to avoid future troubles, His Majesty ordered the construction of fortifications such as the Great Wall in the border pass to defend against their invasion."

Seeing that Xiao Tao's pretty face was still full of doubts, Wu Fei spoke again.

"Oh, I see! But why did they come to invade? Isn't it a very beautiful thing for everyone to live peacefully in their respective territories? Their invasion of the territory of the border is sure to be crushed by the army sent by His Majesty, so that both sides will suffer. How many soldiers will die in the war, and how many will face the end of their families being ruined and displaced".

......

Xiao Tao's rhetorical question made Wu Fei speechless for a while.

Yes, if everyone had such a thought in their hearts to live in this world, then how beautiful and happy it would be! It's a pity that this kind of idealized life is difficult to exist in the real world.

People are greedy, desperately trying to get something before they get it; But after getting it, I found that the thing I got in my hand was not as beautiful as I imagined. So, they moved on to the next goal. And this idea of greed is especially prominent in the minds of those rulers. So, there is war and chaos.

However, this is also in line with the laws of nature: natural selection, survival of the fittest. Weak objects are bound to be devoured by powerful objects, and then more powerful species are born, and the cycle continues.

Qin Shi Huang unified the seven kingdoms of the world and completed the situation of great unification, to borrow a classic saying in the Three Kingdoms, that is: the general trend of the world, together for a long time, must be divided, and divided for a long time.

No dynasty can endure, pass on and pass on forever, they all go through the stages of division and merger in the long river of history, and then disappear in the memory of time.

And these concepts and philosophies, Wu Fei can't say them even if he knows them, because Xiao Tao lived in time and space thousands of years ago, and what he experienced was only a corner of time and space. Even if he says it, Xiao Tao won't understand what he's talking about, so it's better not to say it!

In the process of autopilot, the pulse vehicle passed through several fortified areas of the Great Wall. Seeing the shirtless bodies under the pulse aircraft, struggling to transport huge stone materials weighing several tons, Wu Fei's heart was shocked and at the same time felt hard for them. This kind of stone, which weighs several tons of stone, even in the 21st century, requires large machines to transport, and in the process of building the Great Wall for thousands of years, these stones are only transported by the physical strength of these working people, and the hardships can be imagined.

Throughout the afternoon, Wu Fei accompanied Xiao Tao and the two to sit in the cabin of the pulse aircraft, flying thousands of meters in the air, enjoying the beautiful and extreme scenery of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas in the territory of the Great Qin Empire. It wasn't until dusk that they reluctantly returned to the mansion with the pulse flyer.

Because he had to discuss with Meng Tian in the evening about the third round of assessment - actual combat drills to be held tomorrow, Wu Fei rode his BMW after returning to the mansion, and rushed all the way to Meng Tian's general's mansion without even having time to eat. Fortunately, when he had just arrived at Meng Tian's mansion, Bu Xianglian also instructed the kitchen to prepare a sumptuous dinner and prepare for dinner. Seeing Wu Fei coming, Bu Xianglian instructed the maid to bring a piece of chopsticks and asked Wu Fei to follow them to dinner.

"General Meng, I don't know what happened to Your Majesty's announcement that you entered the palace this time"?

In the gap between eating, Wu Fei asked.

"Master Hou didn't know that a few days ago, in the eastern border of the Great Wall, due to the sudden arrival of a heavy rainstorm, a section of the protective wall built in this area collapsed, causing hundreds of casualties. The local prison officials did not handle the collapse properly, and there were large-scale clashes with the rest of the workforce. Due to the harsh nature, the construction of the Great Wall is expected to be suspended. But it won't get in the way, and I'll send someone to deal with the matter as soon as I get home."

Regarding Wu Fei's inquiry, Meng Tian knew everything, said everything, and told him everything. (To be continued.) )
