Why did Ying Zheng, which swept the six countries, build the Great Wall? Is it timid?

Our concept of the Great Wall is that Qin Shihuang enslaved all the people and built it to resist foreign invasion and better protect the people in the Central Plains. But did the Great Wall really play such a role in the thousand-year history? The answer is no, the Great Wall has never successfully protected the people, nor has it resisted an enemy invasion.

Why do you say that? Take the Ming Great Wall, which has the best architectural quality in the past. The 88,565,438+0.8km Great Wall was built in the * * year of the Ming Dynasty, and its quality is the highest in all previous dynasties. Such a long front needs hundreds of thousands of troops to guard it, and the average strength in each place is less than 1000. As long as the enemy strikes the troops and attacks them slightly, the defense of the Great Wall will collapse in an instant. At that time, the Mongolian army crossed the Great Wall to the south for many times, but Bo Yan Timur and others did not stop because of the Great Wall. Later, Huang Taiji's army also went down the Great Wall, and Yuan Chonghuan was caught off guard.

In fact, Qin Shihuang's original purpose of building the Great Wall was not to resist the Huns. Not to mention Qin Shihuang's army. Before that, all the six armies were afraid of Huns. During Qin Shihuang's reign, Meng Tian beat the Huns and dared not go south to herd horses. Scholars dare not bow their heads and complain.

The real purpose of Qin Shihuang's building the Great Wall is to warn the police, just like Trump is building a wall now. Why did Trump build the wall, as he himself said, is to stop Mexicans from smuggling, reduce the pressure on the southern patrol, and allow illegal immigrants to be repatriated in time. This, like the Great Wall, is used to call the police. The beacon tower on the Great Wall is the best proof.

Although the enemy can easily cross the Great Wall, it also alerted the main forces and let them know where the war happened so as to arrive accurately. So the Great Wall was built not to resist the enemy, but to warn the police, otherwise the enemy would invade and he wouldn't even know where the enemy was.

Therefore, the Great Wall is not a barrier to protect people. What can really resist the Huns is the brave army behind the Great Wall.
