Why should QinZhaoYan build Great Wall in the north, the warring states period to the situation from start. During the warring states period, the Yangtze river is China's Yellow River by slave society to the feudal society, and the period of change with qin, and chu xia culture, wu, the cultural exchanges and integration, unified tends to become increasingly strong. At that time the feudal reform on wei, zhao, Korea, chu, neat, qin, yan seven countries after the war, stronger by force, and seek for the annexation of Yellow River, the Yangtze river unity. At this moment, shaanxi, Shanxi Province, hebei north and Inner Mongolia grassland days first city: the juyongguan Great Wall
Minority mainly hsiungnu also stronger, and constantly captivity qin, zhao, yan three northern border. QinGuoZhi north, righteous, and north for drainage hsiungnu; Zhao4 guo2's northwest forests hu, floor vexed, a north Chan Lan and hun; The yan-guo DongHu north boundary. Since the warring states, they constantly captivity since mid qin, zhao, yan three northern areas. Because they are good at QiShe, longer than the field, take surprise attack, and fleet, pre-raphaelites, showed strong fighting power. And qin, zhao, yan in the warring states mid-term combat troops mainly infantry and vehicles, wearing clothes big sleeve clothing, slow-moving, day line 30-50, natural cannot stop hsiungnu, DongHu attacks and plunder. This not only make three people's lives and property of the northern serious threat, the production have been severely disrupted, and greatly influenced the unified enterprise kingdoms. Aiming at the passive state, three kingdoms and cavalry troop was conducted in the northern great reform and build. Qin, pushing reform since shang FuGuoJiangBing began. Army gradually changed into infantry and cavalry, and reward and promotion in military theory, so the army combat effectiveness enhancement, invincible wherever. HuiWen king six years (former 332) and 10 years, successively wei wei, seize defeat zixia county (now shaanxi luohe basin) and county (now shaanxi to northeast). In order to prevent xiongnu people, zhao and taken to the south west gansu, north, to build Great Wall on the northern border, county and garrison. King YuWuLing zhao beginning before the fifth (307). HuFuQiShe cavalry troop was, did the reform Since then force and strong. Twenty years WuLing WangXi slightly LinHu, YuZhong, LinHu, to WangXianMa tame, just arthas: take me and return. Twenty-sixth (former 300), broken zhongshan, where land north to yan, generation (now in northern shanxi, and extension to the cloud, and the northwest to nine former (today's Inner Mongolia and ringo uzziah county to add river area). Then, built the Great Wall, since generation ordered and yinshan (present Inner Mongolia daqingshan mountains) and west, region, reaching to the present Inner Mongolia river (udinese) river, and buy add for county, wild goose, the cloud county, in case door xiongnu prey butting up against. In order to specialize in northwest, the following year, his son how to HuiWen in king, from number father. King HuiWen before two years (297), father, from the zixia (today to the Yellow River between shanxi, Inner Mongolia, breaking floor) of its soldiers bored king. In the warring states period seven male yan is one of the most weak, with new south fromzhe strong together on YuDongHu zhao, north force. King YanZhao style-came before until after (311) sockets and recruit countries nevertheless the reform and sage, YanGuoCai stand up. When DongHu strong, often taken northern south yan-guo. In order to keep the peace in northern YanJun, was forced to XiangDongHu king, and in peace tosha hostage. Zhao win, he YuDongHu open mass qin DongHu thirdly, the king was believed, therefore, to understand the freedom of action DongHu southern mountains and dangerous, protection and the activities of the army rule. After the army returned, namely rate of DongHu, large break attack, but the DongHu to more than 1000. And "degrees" north Korea liaodong and extension to attack 浿 water (now north Korea to clear introduced.being). So, "yan also, built built the Great Wall Yang (now hebei KangBao county and Inner Mongolia TaiPuSiQi) to xiangyang flat; always on top valley, yu Yang, right Peiping and western, liaodong county to refuse hu." To sum up, the warring states period, qin, zhao, yan was on the north side, its purpose is to build the Great Wall to protect the ethnic DongHu hsiungnu, looters.
QinZhaoYan Great Wall value
Of the warring states period YanChangCheng qin, zhao, as a military defense project, whether in war up a function? About its role, especially QinChangCheng and YanChangCheng role, historical document almost no, ZhaoChangCheng record are few. This is the Great Wall
Said, they didn't have any effect? Not. On the contrary, build the wall just that, after three DongHu xiongnu, does not have taken over the Great Wall, the wall in the south on military defense played an important role. As is known to all, zhao when qin, is one of the fastest period extended territory. If the north did not build Great Wall, qin army must stationed the important channel and guarded by the north, to stop the powerful mills in hsiungnu, how can deploy south plunder the army suffered continuously, captured six land coalition? Visible, QinChangCheng need only a up after the troop buildup, can prevent hsiungnu south. If south, with xiongnu army against a wall defense, not easily; Not far away from the QinDou xianyang and, one day night or two, three day and night to save, therefore, can be in hsiungnu dare not south, self-defeating. Anyhow, built the Great Wall, since after QinZhaoWang xiongnu, this has not south captivity military defense of the Great Wall while clear role. As for ZhaoChangCheng, because building in yinshan (now daqingshan, hooray shandong south) feet, much is formed and poor quality of building, ramming, and close to hsiungnu, so start, is often xiongnu army attack. Zhao4 guo2's although stationed out of the city, active army defense against, but often defeats. Zhao sites including former 224 - win (former 236), zhao border tired to overcome by huns, northern tight, then sent LiMu to the Great Wall at tosha army defense. King LiMu cheap sites including the appointed to ShuLi privilege, and will the clouds, wild goose door, and the business tax and northern county LiMu land for military for disposal. LiMu will headquarters is located in the northern great wild goose door county, east, and west to care. His warriors, day after several cow to improve food death; He ordered the military to captivity, "hun all officers immediately RuBao wall, the charge of horses sheep who have dared to catch lu cut!" Every to invade, due to xiongnu was ablaze, know in advance news, RuBao then reap joint-used zhao cattle wall. Hsiungnu captivity man and beast, not property, had to recede. So for several years, though not defeat hsiungnu, but nor WangShi zhao. Hsiungnu people and LiMu frontier, all think zhao ZhaoWang also blame cowardice, LiMu; And LiMu was still there. ZhaoWang nu, recruit grazing in the back and don't. New will take the strategy; fight Every come, he xiongnu army attack, several loss rate. In more than a year, many soldiers, north unable to graze casualties. ZhaoWang had no choice but to LiMu out again please keep the Great Wall. Don't DuMen LiMu allege illness as the reason for that, not shall order. ZhaoWang is strong on animal husbandry, make animal husbandry armies guard the north. To LiMu ZhaoWang said: "wang must produce groundball outs with me, I still take the former strategy, you agree, I will dare to were ordered." ZhaoWang had to promise. LiMu to the Great Wall, as sweet about. For several years, hsiungnu have nothing. But for LiMu finally timid. "Day ZhaoShouBian soldiers without reward, all may war". So, LiMu is chosen chariots 1300 cars, riding horse, pick to 13,000 to defeat the enemy of the 100 gold will be gone and the people, good 50,000 shot, 100,000 battle. Training After practice, and large longitudinal animal husbandry. North of the Great Wall, human and livestock everywhere. The xiongnu smell, and to plunder. Small YangBai into, livestock, with part of disinfection, organizing. Khan exultation, then pour countries south. Centaur rate LiMu prior ambush, zhang ZuoYouYi double-team, broken hsiungnu more than 100,000 riding, khan be defeated both, to escape north. Since then, nearly 10 years ZhaoChangCheng hsiungnu dare not. Zhao jun make track for the Chan Lan destroyed DongHu, LinHu, breaking down. Hence, zhao halcyon, people live and work on the north. From here, we can clearly see ZhaoChangCheng in military defense on the huge role. The early han, violence, across central hsiungnu take had built the Great Wall MengTian qin han, after and qin, zhao, in the warring states YanChangCheng for boundary. Because of this, the north wall run-down defenders scarce, therefore, powerful within the huns continue to come into the Great Wall, have been deeply into prey for valley, taiyuan, zixia, county, north HanGaoZu, etc) county, hui, emperor wen, emperor scene emperor forced to hsiungnu take domestic-market-oriented policies; Marry the princess to EShi (namely the queen for khan, and gave a lot of) goods. But, that is a Great Wall of rags to some extent, also played a role in hsiungnu military defense forces, if not generally cannot enter the Great Wall plunder. Secondly, if ShouJiang strength, even though a xiongnu army, also can't enter the Great Wall. The process could also keep the Great Wall cha, and li is strict, his eponymous army raid, any defense hsiungnu, aggression, also dare not xiongnu also explain the warring states Great Wall, plays a role. WeiQing, followed by GongSunHe, huo qu bing, sun strike hsiungnu, all such ao QinChangCheng with zhao, the main stronghold for attacking withdraw. This suggests that, until the western han dynasty, the warring states, qin, zhao YanChangCheng still play in military defense, though it's role as already big defense capability of the warring states periods. Until the MoBei xiongnu emperor after MengTian arrived, repair had built QinChangCheng and built the Great Wall, this article the warring states qin, zhao, YanChangCheng to be dropped, it's military defense function also just then end.
History and realistic value
Qin, zhao, YanChangCheng warring states period of great historical value, first of all, it shows that only build Great Wall, add a certain number of troops, to limit horde of rapid mobility, prevent the northern nomadic tribes cavalry ShanDianShi attacks. No Great Wall, even though there was a lot of infantry and cavalry, it is still the defense. The history of the warring states period facts have proved this point. Because the Great Wall is effective military defense project, thus later adopted for qin shihuang. Qin shihuang MoBei in hsiungnu to cast MengTian immediately after build new Great Wall ordered. Secondly, the warring states, qin, zhao yan made the Great Wall, is quite scientific, it is basically built by mountains and situation in mountain pass, is with plain region, are building high thickness walls, and DongHu cavalry truncated hsiungnu, road. In addition to the Great Wall outside, inside and outside also has a beacon tower heights, conduct reconnaissance and transfer news, let the Great Wall to prepare the garrison; In transportation crossroads and taniguchi, building ZhangCheng, garrison, in order to strengthen the Great Wall defensive capabilities. In the Great Wall every within a distance, the great city, had built garrison, and is equipped with rapid transfer news networks, so that a unified command and mutual support. This line of three kingdoms to the Great Wall and its beacon tower, disabled, city and other ancillary buildings, form a complete set of military defense systems. The military defense systems is backed by science, defense is effective. It for later military defense project provides templates. MengTian made QinChangCheng, although all is new, but obviously, he is in the warring states period qin, zhao, referring to YanChangCheng building the basis of design, simultaneously the complement each other. For example, he used the mountains terrain, because its dangers and build disabled ever. He built the Great Wall, making the mountain ridges above for the city, make, los hsiungnu cavalry cannot pass over; Try to use as far as possible the river for barrier wall built in the river north, make the enemy without water. In the hills, plain, then build walls, or with high earth-rock clip, or formed built and the paragraphs rammer built momentum majestic wall link into a dragon, partition is north and south. The beacon tower, a QinChangCheng kingdoms to the improvement of the Great Wall, built the Great Wall, and the open mountain terrain, according to every 10, 20, 30 there's a. ZhangCheng also have improved, in traffic intersection or taniguchi, had built two ZhangCheng north. The city in a large force, were built in the south of the wall, and the Great Wall closely linked. Can say, the height of the building system QinChangCheng scientific, is the warring states YanChangCheng qin, zhao, the inheritance and development of architecture. Finally, the warring states qin, zhao, YanChangCheng historical value, over 2,200 years ago not only represent the Chinese nation great verve, and it shows when China people's highly intelligent, the spirit of the far, advanced military science level, highly scientific culture.
The southern Great Wall
Chu, qi, with wei, Korea, zhongshan kingdom as a representative of the southern Great Wall, with the passage of time, gradually faded from our memory. 1, chu ChuChangCheng ChuHuaiWang built the Great Wall in three years, when called "before FangCheng". From its position as YeXian biyang north to henan province, hubei province by NaXiang northeast and amount to export the territory, used for defense neighbours offense. 2, the qi JiChangCheng is using the levee connection wall in the mountains, in a expansion in southern qi, west of shandong PingYinXian northeast, plays today to the big ZhuShan bags.for its location south east sea, structure is mainly have builded and made two kinds of soil. Three, zhongshan kingdom Great Wall is the Great Wall to defense of zhongshan, jin intrusion southwest zhao built. In ZhaoChengHou built before six years (369). Its position is in today hebei, shanxi border regions. 4, there are two ways WeiChangCheng wei wall: one is the anti qin and the northwest RongChangCheng (hexi Great Wall), 2 it is the southern Great Wall (henan Great Wall). Is the Great Wall in hexi WeiHuiWang, using western border LuoShui on the levee expands and built up today, south shaanxi of enterprise in huashan mountain in Inner Mongolia, amounted to RMB hole solid Yang. WeiHuiWang senectitude, built to protect the southern Great Wall, capital beam by today XianJing steering southeast microelements, henan province to the west XinMiShi non-stop. 5, South Korea the Great Wall first for ZhengGuo had built the Great Wall, Korea, continue to build use consume zheng.
