"Meng Jiangnu suffered all kinds of hardships along the way, but the hardships and distance of the journey did not make her succumb."
"With the firm belief that she must give the cotton coat to her husband, she overcame all kinds of difficulties and finally reached the foot of the Great Wall."
"But I didn't expect that Wan Xiliang had already died of exhaustion, and was filled into the city wall by the cruel Qin Shihuang."
"The news of her husband's death hit Meng Jiangnv like a thunderbolt. She felt that the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and she fell unconscious."
"When she finally regained consciousness, she couldn't help but feel heartbroken and cried uncontrollably."
"Meng Jiangnu's cries of despair and pain were so pitiful that the heaven and earth were moved. In an instant, the sky was filled with clouds and mist, the sun and moon were dim, the ground was filled with strong winds and rain, and all the beasts were frightened."
"Meng Jiangnu leaned against the Great Wall and cried like heaven and earth. She cried for an unknown amount of time. Suddenly, there was a loud noise like a mountain collapsing and the earth was cracking. The repaired Great Wall suddenly collapsed for eight hundred miles, and the piles of rubble were filled with human remains. There are corpses and bones, and it’s very scary.”
"Meng Jiangnu dripped blood into the bones, and secretly prayed to heaven in her heart. If it was her husband's body, let her blood soak into the bones and not seep around."
"In this way, Meng Jiangnu finally found her husband's body. Holding the pile of bones in his arms, he cried loudly and passed out several times."
"Qin Shihuang heard that Meng Jiangnu cried down the 800-mile Great Wall and was very angry. He ordered Meng Jiangnu to be arrested and tortured himself. But when Qin Shihuang saw Meng Jiangnu, he was suddenly attracted by her beauty and forced her to Be a concubine.”
"Meng Jiangnu pretended to agree to the tyrant, but she asked him to do three things first."
"Build a bridge as magnificent as a flying rainbow across a river."
"Build a ten-mile-square tomb near the Great Wall for the migrant workers who died at the foot of the Great Wall."
"We want Qin Shihuang to lead his civil and military ministers to mourn Wan Xiliang in person."
"Qin Shihuang obeyed every request one by one in order to win the beauty back."
"But after Qin Shihuang finished these three things, Meng Jiangnu scolded him fiercely, and then jumped into the roaring river. Qin Shihuang was so angry that he had no choice but to give up."
"This story about the First Emperor is indeed a bit of a scapegoat, but it is true that he exploited the people. In fact, this story is not only about the Qin Dynasty, but also about the Ming Dynasty."
"Why did you make up such a story? Because when the Great Wall was being built in the Ming Dynasty, there were complaints among the people. Thinking of the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, the people made up such a story to use the past to satirize the present and vent their dissatisfaction and indignation. "
"It can be said that this is also a conspiracy of the common people. Such stories were adapted to satirize the current leaders."
"The touching story of the Great Wall is an indictment of the tyranny of the feudal ruling class and a celebration of the enslaved people's fearlessness and unyielding spirit."
"Building the Great Wall was the most cruel and representative form of labor among all the feudal dynasties in the past. From the Spring and Autumn Period to the Ming Dynasty, over nearly two thousand years, the Great Wall was repaired and repaired many times, and countless civilians were forcibly recruited. Any An encounter like Meng Jiangnu’s may happen at any time.”
"Therefore, Jiang Nu and Xiliang are two typical characters created by the working people who endured unlimited labor. They embody the disasters of millions of lower-class people who were forced to have their families destroyed and their wives and children separated by labor."
Wu Zetian: How to do it? Since Ms. Zhang talked about the impact of the Great Wall on the future, she knew that the Great Wall must be repaired. Why did other dynasties also repair it? Because this is a line of defense to protect the country and the people. There is no choice. The Great Wall must be repaired.
Zhao Gou: If I were the emperor, I would never sacrifice the lives of my people in exchange for safety. I would work hard to strengthen the army to resist foreign invasion.
Li Longji: Haha, bah, you still want to expand the army?
Zhao Kuangyin: My old face has been completely disgraced!
Meng Tian: Are the people in the army no longer human beings? Can growing the army be completed overnight? How ridiculous.
Li Shimin: This question is actually contradictory. He has two sides, one is the people and the other is the country. How should an emperor choose? The construction of the Great Wall required hundreds of thousands of people to perform extremely heavy labor over the years. The harm caused to the people by this shaky burden was painful, but resisting the aliens was not a success! "
"This matter is indeed two-sided. Although the Great Wall laid the foundation for future generations to fight against the northern nomads, and greatly reduced manpower and material resources, at that time the Six Kingdoms had just been settled, the people could breathe, and the First Emperor carried out huge projects. This is undoubtedly It is the emergence of class contradictions and social contradictions.”
"Now from a historical perspective, Qin Shihuang's construction of the Great Wall should be recorded as a great achievement!"
"From the perspective of people's livelihood at that time, it was extremely cruel to the people. In the final analysis, whether it is right or wrong, the beholder has his own opinion and the wise has his own wisdom!"
"The Great Wall is thousands of miles long, but Qin Shi Huang was nowhere to be seen."
"What he built was not a palace for his own enjoyment, but a defensive city to resist foreigners. For me, the Great Wall is a great achievement!"
"This is the time for Qin Shihuang to build the Epang Palace and the Qin Mausoleum. This is a big project."
"In the thirty-fifth year of the First Emperor of Qin, the First Emperor ordered to open a road from Jiuyuan to Yunyang, dig holes and fill in rivers to connect the two places."
"Then the First Emperor ordered to build a palace in Shanglin Garden on the south bank of the Wei River, and first built the main palace, Afang Palace."
"The number of people who built Epang Palace alone was more than 700,000 who had been castrated. Of course, there were others."
"Afang Palace was large in scale and difficult to build. It required a lot of stone and wood, so we excavated stone from Beishan and felled wood from Shu and Jingchu."
"More than three hundred palaces have been built in the Guanzhong area alone, and more than four hundred outside the Guanzhong area."
"Afang Palace is grand and magnificent in scale, with 500 troops from the east and west, and fifty battles from the north and south. Ten thousand people can sit in the palace, and His Highness can set up a five-foot-high flag. It is a pity that the Afang Palace was not completed, and Qin Shihuang died."
"The size and luxury of Afang Palace was one of the wonders of the world at that time."
"Its construction required a lot of manpower and material resources, which fully demonstrated the ruling power and wealth of the Qin Dynasty."
"This also makes other countries awe of Qin's ruling power and strength, thus making Qin more influential in international politics."
"A single Afang Palace consumes so much manpower, material and financial resources, but the First Emperor's mausoleum is even bigger than this Afang Palace."
"Because of the strong feudal superstition and the etiquette of "death as life", almost feudal emperors of all dynasties attached great importance to the construction of cemeteries."
"Qin Shihuang was no exception. After he ascended the throne at the age of 13, he began to build a mausoleum for himself at the foot of Mount Li."
