The Great Wall that is entrenched in the mountains, winding and magnificent, pulls the thoughts of many people to thousands of years ago, Qin Shi Huang crusaded against the Six Kingdoms, ambitious, after the unification of the world, the Great Wall was built in a big way, the people mourned all over the wilderness, the cries of Meng Jiangnu have since stayed above this majestic building, and then the thoughts return to the present, the Great Wall is a world-class building in China, which makes foreigners marvel, and people can't help but say "not a good man without the Great Wall".
People who have climbed the Great Wall know that the Great Wall does make people feel excited, but it also makes people wonder: "Can such a wall really defend against foreign enemies?" "Many people think that Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall to defend against the Xiongnu, but the truth of history is not so, but it comes from the fantasy of a liar.
Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Great Wall has appeared, during the Spring and Autumn Warring States period, the various princely states scrambled to defend each other, the construction of the Great Wall is also very necessary, and after Qin Shi Huang established the Qin Dynasty, it was to connect and repair the Great Wall of the Spring and Autumn Warring States Period, so there was the "Great Wall".
Why did Qin Shi Huang build the Great Wall? Was it really to resist the Huns? I am afraid that things are not so simple, during the lifetime of Qin Shi Huang, various cultures emerged in an endless stream, and many alchemists vigorously advocated "immortal medicine", although the alchemists also knew that there was no immortal medicine in the world, but people have always been in awe of death, and "immortal medicine" is obviously a market demand.
Most people in high positions have had the voice of "I still want to live for another five hundred years", and Qin Shi Huang unified the world, and his great achievements were unmatched, but he was 39 years old, and 39 years old was a concept in the era at that time? That is, it was almost into the ground, but Qin Shi Huang had not lived enough at all, and he still wanted to show his grand plan, but he had been told that there was not much time left.
The "elixir of immortality" seems to have appeared specifically for the consideration of Qin Shi Huang, and the alchemists also obtained a large amount of wealth from the emperor by relying on this medicine, one of which was the alchemist named Lu Sheng, who was most trusted by Qin Shi Huang, who went to the overseas Immortal Mountain under the slogan of seeking the elixir of immortality, after all, he took the money to do things.
There are mountains, as to whether they are immortal mountains, it is unknown, anyway, he brought back a book for Qin Shi Huang that can predict the future, called "Record Book", which records: "Destroyer of Qin, Hu Ye." Lu Sheng said to Qin Shi Huang: "The Hu people in the north are obviously the biggest threat to our Qin. ”
Lu Sheng proposed to Qin Shi Huang to build the Great Wall, Qin Shi Huang complied, and let the general Meng Tian lead 300,000 elite troops to attack the Xiongnu in the north, causing the Xiongnu to retreat to the Mohe area, Lu Sheng saw that Qin Shi Huang was so obedient to himself, he couldn't help but "tail up to the sky", privately mocking the emperor's ignorance, where in the world is there any immortal medicine? Or to die.
These words eventually reached Qin Shi Huang's ears, it was a chill, but Lu Sheng escaped with a touch of oil on the soles of his shoes, and no one knew where he went, and the "History" records that after Qin Shi Huang learned of Lu Sheng's escape, he said: "Lu Sheng and others have been very generous to me, and now they are slandering me, in order to repay my immorality." The meaning of this statement is "I am so good to Lu Sheng, it is really shameless that he actually slandered me." ”
Qin Shi Huang could not catch Lu Sheng, and he was angry in his heart, so when interrogating the people in Xianyang City, he must find out Lu Sheng's co-party and then pit them, and in history, there were two big black spots in history: Qin Shi Huang", "building the Great Wall" and "burning books and pit confucianism".
