Chapter 768 The military significance of the Great Wall, the upstart Ning Fan!

Ning Fan's previous knowledge of the Great Wall was quite superficial, and he had never even seen it in person. Now, when he heard what Zheng Shu said, he showed a touch of surprise on his face.

The Great Wall that we often talk about was not actually built by the First Emperor alone. The origin of the Great Wall can be traced back to the Western Zhou Dynasty. In the Eastern Zhou Dynasty (Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period), all the vassal states built the Great Wall of different lengths for military purposes.

In the Qin Dynasty, when the First Emperor unified the world, he began large-scale construction, and since then, all dynasties have repaired it.

"Uncle Zheng, I have a question that I am very puzzled about."

"The Great Wall stretches for thousands of miles in the future. How many soldiers and horses will be stationed there? And after the border defense line is extended, who knows where the Hu slaves will enter the pass from?"

Hearing Ning Fan's question, Ying Zheng sneered: "Ning boy, you don't think that building the Great Wall can keep all the barbarians out of the city, right?"

"Uh..."

Ning Fan thought about it and felt that it was impossible, and Ying Zheng also said: "The Great Wall is just a line of defense. You can use it to station troops, garrison, and even open trade, but it is not as unconquerable as ordinary people think!"

"Its real role is that after the barbarians occasionally break through one or two passes, they can give us time to delay, or set up an ambush, or encircle and suppress, or even use the Great Wall to attack us. Garrison, front and back attack. "

"The biggest role of the Great Wall is to resist the barbarian cavalry. As long as the barbarians do not destroy the Great Wall, they will either abandon their horses or break through the pass if they want to break through. "

"Even if they break through the pass, they dare not enter without permission!"

Ying Zheng's eyes were a little deep as he spoke: "The most important thing is that even if the barbarian cavalry can enter, their logistics still have to pass through the Great Wall!"

"Therefore, they can only harass and not go deep after crossing the Great Wall!"

"Of course, this is when the Great Wall is not completely destroyed."

After Ying Zheng's explanation, Ning Fan's face also showed a hint of realization. Although his command value is constantly improving, he has even entered the ranks of peerless.

But his command attribute is falsely high. In the words of the system, there is no method in arranging troops and formations, and he can enter the peerless world entirely by plug-ins!

From a strategic point of view, Ning Fan is not used to thinking about some big picture and deep things. Emperor Yu never taught him in this regard. Although Zhuge Liang and Guo Jia are determined by intelligence, they are ultimately unable to understand the ruler's thoughts.

Now, with Ying Zheng as his personal advisor, Ning Fan is full of confidence.

"Uncle Zheng, my Dayu's cavalry is about to go out. Is it necessary to build the Great Wall at this time?"

"Nonsense!"

"If you don't build it when you can fight, do you have to wait until others come in to build it?"

"Uh!"

Ning Fan was blocked again and smiled bitterly: "Uncle Zheng, you always talk without any pain in your waist. The Great Qin can impose corvée labor, and my Dayu has to pay wages?"

"When you captured the barbarians and built the capital, why didn't you pay wages?"

A word awakened the dreamer, Ning Fan showed a sly smile on his face, and bowed slightly to Ying Zheng: "Thank you, teacher!"

"..."

..."

"Wenyou, Wenhe, the Great Wall must be built!"

"My Lord, building the Great Wall is time-consuming and laborious, and the loss of money and food is astronomical. I am afraid that Dayu will not be able to support it!"

"What are you afraid of!"

Ning Fan's face showed a fierce light: "If you are short of food and drink, go to Hu Nu to rob. If you are short of money and food, ask Hu Nu for it. It is even easier to lack people. There are thousands of barbarians in the Mobei grassland and the north."

"Uh..."

Li Ru and Jia Xu looked at each other, and there was a bitter smile on their faces. What kind of robbery is this?

Moreover, His Highness seems to be more and more proficient in this "robbery" behavior, from arresting people at the beginning to directly "robbing and robbing" now.

"Send a message to Huo Qubing, and the barbarian army in Guxue City, try to capture as many prisoners as possible. These are all selfless builders of Dayu!"

"Yes!"

After taking on the task of building the Great Wall, Ning Fan's face also showed a touch of excitement. Afang Palace!

In the previous life, when I recited the "Fu of Afang Palace", I heard the text: "It covers more than 300 miles"

"There is a building every five steps and a pavilion every ten steps"

"The pillars supporting the roof are more than the farmers in the south."

"The rafters supporting the beams are more than the women working on the loom."

"The nails are more than the grains of millet in Yu"

"The gaps between the tiles are more than the silk threads on the body."

I didn't have a deep understanding when I was in class, but when I entered the society and worked as a cow or a horse to make ends meet, when I read these articles again, it was like a revelation.

It's really fucking grand!

Therefore, the significance of Afang Palace is not just a simple palace. It is definitely richer than Dayu's treasury, and it contains the savings of the six countries, books, gold, silver, jewelry, etc.!

Therefore, Ning Fan is very greedy.

"System, check my merit value and luck value!"

"Querying, please wait!"

A light screen appeared behind Ning Fan's mind, and the clearly visible golden text was shining!

"Merit value: 790090 points."

"Luck value: 210400 points"

After seeing his savings, Ning Fan's mouth was about to bloom.

Merit value can be used to summon civil and military officials, while luck value can improve fertile land, exchange population, and even avoid disasters.

Merit value is obtained by killing enemies on the battlefield, while luck value can be obtained in multiple ways, such as issuing policies that benefit the country and the people, winning foreign military wars, and increasing population, and even directly exchanging merit value!

"790,000 merit points can summon 15 peerless talents and 7 top talents."

"System, give me all the luck points to exchange for population!"

"Please choose the location for the deployment."

"Northern Territory."

"Male-female ratio."

"One to one!"

"Deploying..."

As a light curtain flashed, Ning Fan could see that in the major cities of the Northern Territory, there were more light spots, coming out from various hidden corners, some in groups of three or five, and some with their families.

"Brilliant, Brother Tongzi!"

"System, summoning peerless talents requires 50,000 merit points, summoning top generals requires 100,000 merit points, and what about summoning legends?"

"Master, legendary generals require 1 million merit points!"

"Literature is for saints, martial arts is for legends!"

"After the system is upgraded, the master can summon the pre-Qin heroes into the world."

Hearing the system's words, Ning Fan's face also showed a touch of excitement. He finally unlocked the pre-Qin section. In this case, the heroes of the various schools of thought will enter the world in a blowout manner?

"Let me think about it first. Summoning is an art!"

"I have no shortage of military commanders now, so I don't need to summon them for now. As for civil officials, only Li Ru and Jia Xu are with me, and both of them are more inclined to strategy."

"What we lack is an all-round talent to accompany the army."
