Chapter 391: Your Majesty, Build a Great Wall?
Wang Bu was hungry and did not know the specific process of this battle of the Huns.
But they knew that the Huns solved Donghu in a battle, and then defeated the Yueshi people again in the next backhand.
Then, there is the siege of Baiden.
In four years, three major things have been done.
In terms of time, it is indeed very tight, and this can only be done if everything goes smoothly and smoothly.
Coupled with the snowstorm in winter, Wang Buyu almost thought that this battle between the Huns and the Donghu people would never last long.
Even the Donghu people will be defeated if they are not able to defend head-on at all.
In such a battlefield situation, it is not surprising that what happens is actually unexpected.
"Last winter, the Huns wanted to show their muscles in front of the Han and tell me who was the king of the steppe, but they would never have thought that the Han army could easily defeat the Huns!"
"Although that battle played the momentum of the Han army, it played the majesty of the Han Dynasty!"
"But at the same time, it also made the Huns more vigilant, in the past they just regarded the Han as a sheep that could come and pet him at any time, but now the Han has changed and has become a wolf who can bite him at any time."
"Let the Han army enter the grassland to fight them, I don't think Mao Dunshan should have the courage to do so now."
"Therefore, take advantage of the fragile defense line on the eastern border of Dahan now, and do something in the east to attract the energy of Dahan."
"We're weaker than they are, they can surprise any spot at will, and we're just going to have to deal with it."
"If this really happens, then the border soldiers will have to go back and forth to fight the fire."
Wang Buxing suddenly turned his head to look at Wang Li, and said: "I don't expect you to be able to keep the Huns out of the country, I just want to tell the Huns that my Han is not his Huns' backyard, let alone that he can come and leave when he wants!" ”
"Obey the order!" Wang Li responded directly.
Wang Bu is not hungry and has already said this, if he is refusing, he is a retarded mind.
You don't have to do everything you can to keep them out of the country, if you dare to come, try to teach him a deep lesson.
For a general who commands the army, what conditions can be lower than this?
Of course not.
Previously, Wang Li was worried about the long border, and the 100,000 troops were simply not enough.
Fortunately, the emperor also knew this in his heart, so he did not make that particularly embarrassing task.
"Your Majesty, is it time to consider rebuilding the Great Wall?" Xiao He suddenly said.
Seeing everyone's strange eyes, Xiao He was not surprised, but explained: "In the past, it was time-consuming, laborious and laborious to build the Great Wall, but now it is different, the imperial court can immediately send a team of people to build a brick factory and cement factory first, so that it can be produced and used soon in the summer, and then recruit people from the border counties, before the autumn harvest, it is possible to plug those small gaps, if there is excess energy, you can even complete the entire Great Wall, so, in the future, if the Xiongnu want to go south, won't there be so many opportunities?" ”
"This is doable...... Chen Ping nodded.
As for what happened this year?
It is very likely that the Huns will go south, and at this time they will build the Great Wall, so isn't that to send food to the Huns?
The answer is that the food may be delivered, but if the imperial court has already prepared, it is still a question whether the Huns will gnaw on this dish.
During the Qin and Han dynasties, men were almost all soldiers, nothing more than different ages and different combat effectiveness.
A formation was formed on the construction site with materials, which was a natural repelling formation for the cavalry charge.
Have the ability to make your war horse hit the brick and see if you can knock it away.
Let the speed of the cavalry be slowed down, and then hold the long weapon, even if he has not been trained, even if three or five people stab him indiscriminately, they can stab him to death.
"I have nothing to do, so I'm going to build the Great Wall now!" Wang Buxing waved his hand and directly chose to refuse.
The Great Wall will be repaired, and he will also be able to repair it in the future.
But by no means now.
The current imperial court does not have this energy, and there are places everywhere that need to be employed, and there is tension everywhere.
The construction of the Great Wall will affect the cultivation of the border counties, which will trigger a chain reaction.
Besides, Wang Buxing still plans to use the Great Wall to boost GDP.
Two thousand years later, who would dare to arrogantly say that tiling the Great Wall is a big job, and the ancestors even contracted out to build the Great Wall.
"Your Majesty, it works!" Wang Li's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Huh?" Wang Bu was hungry and turned his head to look at Wang Li, is it feasible?
"Your Majesty, the most favorite thing for the grassland people to do is to plunder the young and strong and go back as slaves, these people are young, have physical strength, can work, and also beat, generally speaking, the capture of them only two kinds ......of people, young and strong and women, old people and children will be killed, the minister thinks that he can let the army of 100,000 disguise as a conscription to build the Great Wall, if the Huns come, then they will fight, if they do not come, they will repair the Great Wall," Wang Li explained.
"Yes, Your Majesty, as long as the Huns have enough time, they will definitely come, once the Great Wall on the eastern front is also repaired, they will completely lose the opportunity to go south!" Chen Ping said calmly with a smile on his face.
With 100,000 young people in front of them, will the Huns not want it?
Absolutely not, this is a hundred thousand young slaves, as long as the Huns know the news, they will definitely come.
You must know that people are not weapons, and if you don't have them, you can quickly build one.
Even if it is a castle, if it is gone, it can be built in a few years.
But what about people?
Once the Great Han loses these 100,000 young people, if he wants to create 100,000 young people, it will take at least 20 years.
Why did Zhao collapse after the Battle of Changping?
Although the resistance is still very stubborn, it has not been able to regain its former glory?
The battle damage of 450,000 has completely hurt the vitality of Zhao State.
Although the grassland people are regarded by them as wild and uncivilized, they also understand some of these truths.
It seemed that seeing that the king was not hungry or a little hesitant, Chen Ping continued to persuade: "Your Majesty, there are several advantages to doing this, the first is naturally to complete the Great Wall as soon as possible, the second is that the imperial court will save a lot of money, and the third can attract the Huns here and fight in the places we designate, so that they cannot go deep into the territory to attack and harass the people!" ”
"Hmm!" Hearing the last benefit, Wang Bu was not hungry and then moved his mind.
What money is not money, although the court is very poor, it is definitely not so rich.
Therefore, the construction of the Great Wall is not to waste money and money, but to protect the people from attacks, and it is also for strategic purposes.
"Then do it!" Wang Buyu agreed directly.
"Your Majesty, in fact, there is another advantage to repairing now, we can directly build on the basis of the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty, although those gaps are not all completed, but most of the foundations are almost done." Wang Li said again.
No one knows better about building the Great Wall than him.
If there had been no war, the Great Wall would have been almost completely completed in another year or two.
So even if there is a gap, it is now in a state of shutdown, not a state of no work.
"Good! Great goodness! Hearing that the foundation had been completed, even Xiao He, who wanted to object, couldn't help but praise it, and then said: "Your Majesty, in this way, we can save some more effort, dig two gullies on the old foundation, and just build them up with bricks, now it means that the most laborious thing in front has been done!" ”
Everyone thought about it, and it seemed to be the truth.
How were rammed earth walls built?
First dig a ravine in the ground that is wider than the city wall, and then fry the excavated soil, backfill it, and tamp it little by little.
After that, it is sprinkled with a layer of fried soil and glutinous rice water to continue to tamp.
Therefore, most of the rammed earth city walls seen in later generations, the Great Wall of Qin, etc., are layer by layer, which is the traces left by factors such as ramming at different times and different drying times.
Why did the Qin Dynasty build the Great Wall and engage in people's livelihood and resentment, although it was for national defense, there were still many people who scolded it.
And the Ming Dynasty didn't have so much trouble building the Great Wall?
The reason is that the bricks don't need to be tamped anymore, no matter how hard and tiring they are, it's just a matter of transporting bricks and other materials to the end.
And the Great Wall of the Qin Dynasty has to be rammed layer by layer, imagine having you take ancient equipment to ram on a mound of earth twenty meters high, and then compress its height to a height of six or seven meters, to ensure that even you will think about rebellion.
Even if it's really impossible to rebel, it is estimated that you will choose to bury your head in it and end up with yourself.
It was a life that was not human.
Therefore, during the Qin Dynasty, such a folk song was circulated.
Be careful not to lift a boy, give birth to a girl to feed, and not see the Great Wall, the corpses are pillars.
The meaning of this ballad is simple and clear.
If you give birth to a boy, you can strangle him directly, you don't have to raise him, anyway, when you grow up in the future, you will be dragged to build the Great Wall, and sooner or later you will die, so why waste food? When a girl is born, he raises her with the best food.
Although it has been verified by Wang Buying, this ballad is exaggerated.
There is no picture of the corpses supporting the pillars under the Great Wall at all, so Wang is not hungry and firm, this should be a satirical technique.
But building the Great Wall is really hard, which is why Wang Bu is not hungry and is unwilling to restart the plan to build the Great Wall.
But now it seems that the situation has changed......
It seems that he can directly pull the time from the Qin Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty and build the Great Wall in the way of the Ming Dynasty?
This means that there is not enough steel, otherwise, Wang Buxing really wants to save even bricks, and directly come to a steel concrete pouring, and make a permanent fortification, isn't it fragrant?
Moreover, these brick factories don't seem to be useless when they run out.
In the future, it is certain that a city will be built on the grassland, although it may be difficult to find a suitable place.
But the military fort is certain, simple, wooden, it will not work, when the time comes, these brick factories or something will come in handy, from a year he has a hundred and ten military forts or something, even if it is used for vigilance, it is no problem at all.
Yes, that's it!
"Repair! Not only to repair, but also to overhaul ......"
