    No less than 1.5 million people died because of the Great Wall.

    Great wall. The name began in the Qin Dynasty.

    From Qin Shi Huang. In the thirty-third year (214 BC), Paimeng Tian began to attack the Xiongnu, and after the death of the first emperor, Qin II.

    From the time of the death of Shimeng Tian and Fusu (210 BC), it took 5 years to build. According to historical records, after Qin unified the six countries, the first emperor sent General Meng Tian to lead 300,000 people to the north to attack the Xiongnu. After Meng Tian expelled the Xiongnu, he took the land south of the Yellow River as 44 counties, built the Great Wall, used the terrain to set up barrier fortresses along the Yellow River and Yinshan, and used the old Great Wall of Zhao and Yan in the north and east, and used King Qin Zhao in the west.

    The old Great Wall, connected, from Lintao in the west (now in the south of Gansu Province by the Tao River), east to Liaodong, stretching for more than 10,000 miles. This Great Wall of Qin, far north of today's Great Wall. The Great Wall of Qin was built using rammed earth.

    It can be seen from the ruins of the Great Wall of Qin in the north of Lintao now: the lowest layer is raw soil, and there is a layer of very solid loess on the raw soil, and the city wall with rammed earth layer is built on the loess, and the rammed earth layer is yellow clay and gravel. Although this is an early ramming method, it has created a miracle in the history of human architecture.

    According to historical records,Qin Shi HuangIn the thirty-seventh year of Qin Shi Huang (210 BC), the total population of the country was about 30 million。Historical data also contains that the first emperor sent Meng Tian.

    The general led 300,000 people to the northern expedition against the Huns. After Meng Tian expelled the Xiongnu, he took the land south of the Yellow River as 44 counties and built the Great Wall.

    Of course, whether these 300,000 people participated in the construction of the Great Wall as sappers is not recorded in the historical materials, at least we have a reference, and in the construction process, the defense force needs 300,000 people. There is also information that Qin Shi Huang repaired the Afang Palace.

    700,000 people were employed.

    214 BC.

    Qin Shi Huang sent Meng Tian to the north to attack the Xiongnu, the Qin people have been harassed by the Xiongnu, so they built the Great Wall to resist the Xiongnu, when Meng Tian repelled the Xiongnu, occupied the area south of the Yellow River, built the Great Wall here, used the terrain, rivers, mountains to set up barriers in turn, and also set up fortresses, stretching for thousands of miles, at a glance can not see the end.

    The Great Wall is located in a remote area with a harsh climate. In order to play a defensive role in construction, it is mainly to use the dangerous terrain, especially to make use of the steep ridge as much as possible, the outer side is steep and straight, the inner side is gentle, easy to defend and difficult to attack, which shows the degree of hardship during construction.

    The exact number is unknown, and there is no corresponding historical research.

    It is conservatively estimated that the maximum number of people who built the Great Wall at that time was about 500,000, even if 200,000 people were new every year, and it took 5 years to build the Great Wall (214 BC to 210 BC), a total of 1.3 million people were building the Great Wall, even if calculated according to the death rate of one-tenth of the death, the total number of deaths was about 130,000, and the population of the Qin Dynasty at that time was about 20 million, accounting for less than one percent.

    The original intention of building the Great Wall in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period was because the Xiongnu in the Hetao area were too arrogant, so that it had a great impact on the Central Plains, so during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many countries began to build the Great Wall to resist the invasion of the Xiongnu.

    In the Qin Dynasty, at the beginning of the Xiongnu still had some peace, but not for a long time before they began to cause trouble, Qin Shi Huang had no choice but to send Meng Tian to lead 300,000 troops to drive the Xiongnu out of the Hetao area, only to finally have some peace, in order to prevent the Xiongnu from invading the Central Plains again, Qin Shi Huang let the 300,000 troops led by Meng Tian be stationed in the Hetao area, and began to build the Great Wall.

    The construction of the Great Wall is mainly to make use of the terrain, local materials, where there are mountains, try to make use of steep and dangerous ridges, the outer side is steep and straight, and the inner side is gentle. And open the mountain to take stones, chiseled into neat strips of stone, filled with ash and lime, very solid. The loess zone is mainly built with rammed soil.

    In the desert area, reeds and red willow branches are used to lay sand and pebbles. The Great Wall of the Ming Dynasty was built with bricks in important areas, and kilns were opened on the spot to burn bricks and tiles, and quarrying and lime. The laborers who built the Great Wall were mainly garrison troops, followed by forcibly conscripted people, and thirdly, prisoners who were sent to the army.

    When the Ming Dynasty built the Great Wall, there was no construction and transportation machinery, mainly relying on manpower to move, a large stone has more than 2,000 catties, a big city brick also has more than 30 catties, containing sand and stones, very hard, the knife does not move. The handling method is mainly to pass in long queues, and simple tools such as trolleys, rolling logs, crowbars, and winches are also used. Sometimes animals are used, but a lot of the work is done by manpower, so I don't know how many people died during the construction of the Great Wall.

    However, this is only the information of the Great Wall, which killed 11,406,000 people.
