In the process of China's historical development, if we want to say that Wenzhi is a heroic figure with great feats and great strategy, Qin Shi Huang is certainly well-deserved, and in addition to the absurd acts in his later years, his life is also enough to be complete. However, such a powerful Qin Shi Huang will also encounter headaches, the most important thing in the development of a country is the problem of security and territory, and the determination of the country is an emperor's wish, but the contradictions and frictions between countries are also indispensable.
The "Xiongnu" that once caused Qin Shi Huang the most headache, but now we rarely hear or see the existence of this nation, what kind of nation are they now? Where are the descendants?
The xiongnu were the earliest nomadic people from the Mongol region, who once frightened the emperors of successive dynasties because of their proficiency in riding and shooting, and the earliest person who had an overwhelming victory with the Xiongnu was Qin Shi Huang.
In the north, the Xiongnu continued to invade the territory of the Qin Dynasty, and Qin Shi Huang sent the general Meng Tian to attack the Xiongnu in the north for safety considerations, guarding the territory for more than ten years, which also made many people have a greater admiration for the great general Meng Tian. This nation, which constantly brought trouble to the Qin Dynasty, was chased by the Mengtian army, scattered and fled to serious injuries, and finally had to seek other vitality.
The vitality of this nomadic people is very tenacious, although it can no longer pose too much of a threat to the Qin Dynasty, but the strong desire to survive makes them choose to submit to the Qin Dynasty. It was this choice of theirs that the last part of the Huns began to reinvent themselves into the life of the Han people, and also began to learn the culture of the Han people, and at the same time combined with the local Han people to have a tendency to assimilate.
But not all huns would unite with the Han, and some of them chose to set out to the west, and finally came to the European continent, forming a new force, and later they settled down in Europe. According to the speculation of later generations, the Hungarians are most likely descendants of the Huns, and most of the others have been Sinicized or combined with other races, and there is no way to verify which one is specific.
The Xiongnu were once so strong, but now they can't find even a trace of them, and the reason for this makes us wonder, what caused such a powerful nomadic people to finally decline, or even disappeared in the history album?
The most important basis for the existence of nomadic peoples is that the water and grass are abundant and migrate with the environment, so their dependence on the place is not so strong. However, Chinese people like to settle all year round, and the beginning of the establishment of a country is to find a capital city first, which shows the importance of site selection. It is precisely because of this stable rear that the Chinese nation has a more advantage, although the nomadic people are good at riding and shooting, but once the war starts, their grain and grass become a difficult problem, and eventually the Xiongnu will inevitably lose the opportunity to win in the protracted war.
Within the Huns, most of them were based on tribes, which was also the biggest drawback of the nomadic people, due to the internal division of power and the intrigue and mutual inclination between the tribes, after the internal contradictions intensified, it also gave the Han people more opportunities to defeat them. Sometimes marriages and funerals within the nomadic peoples could lead to great wars between tribes, and the existence of these systems and their own problems put the Huns in an unfavorable situation of internal division.
The opponent is a good way to test themselves, in the Qin Shi Huang period, general Meng Tian's command and combat effectiveness are obvious to all, although the nomadic people have a natural riding and shooting advantage, but they can not withstand the Qin Shi Huang army's combat experience and advanced weapons, the final result is obvious. Once the two sides went to war, it was the Huns themselves who suffered the final loss, and it was still under the provocation of the Huns that it was reasonable to destroy the Huns.
The strength and existence of a people have their roots, nomadic peoples are not completely incapable of survival, and although the nomadic peoples in Mongolia have survived steadily, the changes and integrations they have experienced in the middle of the way cannot be ignored. The Huns have been erased from history with internal problems and external social development needs, after all, the survival of the fittest is the law of all things, we can also learn some experiences and lessons from the future generations, so that future generations can wake up.
