Is there any mention of Qin Shi Huang seeking to see the Great Wall in the Zizhi Tongjian ?

Yes, but not completely.

Buy a copy of "Zizhi Tongjian" to see.

Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall is far greater than the merit, to protect the country against foreign invasion, has increased the country's military capacity, a country wants to long-term stability without the conditions for stability and unification is not feasible, and the Han Dynasty is strong to a certain extent thanks to the hardware construction of the former Qin Dynasty.

The merit was to effectively prevent the invasion of the northern nomads in the Central Plains, but without the power of the people, the peasants of the Qin Dynasty were tired of building the Great Wall, and their production declined and their living standards dropped significantly.

Function: 1. Protect the Central Plains from the harassment of nomads, resist the invasion of external ethnic minorities, and protect the agricultural civilization of the Central Plains;

2. It has promoted the integration of the Central Plains civilization of the Chinese nation, left incomparable spiritual wealth for future generations in the world, and made the Great Wall a totem and symbol of China's image;

1. A lot of money and resources of the country have been wasted;

2. Bringing suffering and heavy burden of forced labor to hundreds of people; It inspired the people to revolt, triggered the intensification of class contradictions, and hastened the fall of the Qin Dynasty.

Pro: Qin Shi Huang ordered the construction of the Great Wall to defend against foreign attacks, and sent Meng Tian to attack with troops. After eliminating the threat of the Xiongnu, Qin Shi Huang immediately reversed the spearhead and decided to surrender and vigorously develop the Yue area, relocating nearly 500,000 people to the Yue area to live with the Yue people, and promoting the integration of ethnic groups.

Disadvantages: Tens of thousands of prisoners are used every year, in fact, the vast majority of them are innocent victims, who work for many years under the scorching sun, in the bitter cold, and the criminal law is extremely harsh, resulting in the death of many workers and the formation of corpses.

Gong: The Xiongnu are already very close to Xianyang. After Qin Shi Huang unified the six countries, he immediately helped the army move north from the eastern battlefield.

General Meng Tian led 300,000 elite soldiers to expel the Xiongnu and open up the northern territory. Later, a longer and stronger wall was built on the basis of the original Great Wall of the northern countries. The Han dynasty completely inherited the rule of the Qin dynasty.

The Xiongnu in the north had been expelled by General Meng Tian and most of the fortified walls had been repaired. The south has been sent by Qin Shi Huang to emigrate, and tends to be stable. These most basic talents formed the foundation of the Han Dynasty's century-old self-cultivation.

History is always created by a small number of people, and it is true that the majority of people are pointing fingers and tampering with it for their own selfish desires.

Wasted a large amount of money and resources of the state, and brought suffering and heavy burden of forced labor to hundreds of people; It inspired the people to revolt, triggered the intensification of class contradictions, and hastened the fall of the Qin Dynasty.

The tyranny of Qin Shi Huang directly contributed to the change of the ruling policy of the Han Empire, thus laying the foundation of the Han family for 600 years. Otherwise, I don't think the Han Dynasty would be much stronger than the Qin. As a negative teaching material, Qin Shi Huang's historical contribution cannot be considered small.

Qin Shi Huang strengthened the military machine, and his army building methods and ideas of army management have been emulated by later generations. Especially after the reform of Shang Yang, the military merit system and the policy of farming and warfare implemented in the Qin State have become the best example for the success of the founding monarchs of the past dynasties. Cao Cao's strategy of tuntian and Zhu Yuanzhang's idea of "building high walls and accumulating grain" are actually products of the era of Qin Shi Huang.

After the reunification of China, the common people no longer suffered from the flames of war. Since then, the great integration of the Chinese nation has entered a new stage.

With a strong centralization, the state can concentrate its efforts on doing great things. Although not all of them are good, there are still a few things that are worth writing about

Building the Great Wall Although the Qin dynasty was hated for this great project, later dynasties regarded it as a weapon against the nomads of the north. Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall, which became a major national defense project for later dynasties, and was built until the end of the Ming Dynasty. This has a direct impact on the development of relations between China's agricultural areas and nomadic peoples.

Construction of military arterial highways and highways in ancient times. Through this road, it only took a few days for fast horses to rush from the northern fortress of Jiuyuan to the Qin capital. The soldiers are fast.

Lingqu In ancient times, the most labor-saving, most convenient, and largest transportation mode was water transportation.

As for the unification of writing, currency, and weights and measures, it has directly strengthened the internal cohesion of the Chinese nation and promoted the formation of the idea of great unification. It can be said that the merit is in ancient times, and the benefit is in the future! Although we have a large number of dialects in the south and north, we can speak one language, and this is the credit of the Qin Emperor.

The military, political and economic ideas of Qin Shi Huang have influenced the feudal dynasty era that lasted for more than 2,000 years after Qin.

The angle of too much is greater than the work.

Qin Shi Huang was born in troubled times and knew how to study and use soldiers. In the situation of the coexistence of the seven countries, he defeated the six countries and unified the Central Plains.

Although he made many contributions to posterity, as an emperor, the most important thing is to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, but he mobilized the people to build the Great Wall, Qin Chi Road, Lingqu, Afang Palace and Qin Shi Huang Mausoleum and other extremely large-scale projects, labor the population of the whole country to build, many documents have reprimanded the cause of many deaths and injuries when the project was carried out. From this point of view, Qin Shi Huang's excesses outweigh his merits. [Well, that's what I wrote on the ground during my winter vacation].

Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall to defend against foreign enemies and to be able to defend against the attacks of the northern nomads, but it was precisely because of his construction that the Great Wall consumed a lot of people's and material resources.

Qin Shi Huang built the Great Wall is far greater than the merit, to protect the country against foreign invasion, has increased the country's military capacity, a country wants to long-term stability without the conditions for stability and unification is not feasible, and the Han Dynasty is strong to a certain extent thanks to the hardware construction of the former Qin Dynasty.

Qin Shi Huang is a good king, but at the same time he is also a tyrant, built the Great Wall, there is part of his credit, although Qin Shi Huang successfully built the Great Wall, created our Chinese symbol, but also because of this, he was scolded by everyone, one of China's four major love stories, Meng Jiangnu cried the Great Wall, proved Qin Shi Huang's violence, whether the story is true or false, but it is enough to prove. No matter how violent and ruthless Qin Shihuang is, he is also the predecessor of the Chinese, and he has also created miracles for us China, and the Great Wall is definitely the pride of the Chinese!

The construction of the Great Wall to defend against the enemy is an ancient method, which is not a pioneering act, but it was exerted by Qin Shi Huang to the extreme, and its impact on later generations is extremely far-reaching. After the Qin Dynasty, there were very few dynasties that did not build the Great Wall.

From a military point of view, the Great Wall played a certain role in resisting foreign invasions; But for the people, it is a matter of labor and money, which has aroused public indignation. Therefore, from a macro perspective, the pros and cons coexist, and it depends on what kind of perspective you look at this issue, and I think the pros outweigh the disadvantages.

It has promoted the integration of the Central Plains civilization of the Chinese nation, left incomparable spiritual wealth for future generations of the world, and made the Great Wall a totem and symbol of China's image.

The construction of the Great Wall seemed to solve the northern trouble, but the victory on the battlefield was only temporary, and Qin Shi Huang did not fundamentally solve the Xiongnu problem throughout his life.

The Great Wall was not exactly built by him, he just linked the Great Wall of various countries! Excessive use of civil power and civil strife! The Qin Dynasty died in civil strife! The Great Wall is used to prevent external disasters and has a great effect! But it can't solve the problem fundamentally! Not as good as Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty!

Painting the ground as a prison, lacking pioneering and enterprising spirit. When building fortifications, don't you know that attack is the best defense?

The pinnacle of seclusion!

It proves that the Chinese nation is an introverted race and lacks aggressiveness:
