In the Qin Dynasty, there was a kind and beautiful woman named Meng Jiangnv. One day, when she was doing housework in her yard, she suddenly found a man hiding under the grape trellis, which startled her and was about to shout. I saw the man waving his hand again and again, pleading, "Don't shout, don't shout, help me!" " My name is Fan Xiliang, and I'm here to escape. "
It turns out that Qin Shihuang arrested people everywhere to do coolies in order to repair the Great Wall. I don't know how many people died of starvation! Meng Jiangnv saved Fan Xiliang. When she saw that he was sensible and had fine features, she fell in love with him, and Fan Xiliang fell in love with Meng Jiangnv. They are soul mates, and with the consent of their parents, they are ready to get married.
2. hemp grass
There is a kind of grass called sisal grass in Badaling. This grass is poisonous. It hurts like a scorpion sting when people touch it. It grows outside the Badaling Great Wall, stands guard for the border guards and contributes a lot to the defense of Badaling.
Legend has it that after the Great Wall was restored, heavy guards were set up at the pass. Of course, Badaling is an important pass. Since the day it was repaired, the garrison has been uninterrupted. Are there no buildings on the Great Wall? That building is called the enemy building, and the people on guard are there. Officials often take a whip to check the sentry and find that the sentry of the watchtower is asleep, that is, a whip.
What they are more afraid of is falling asleep, and the enemy doesn't know it when he touches it. In that case, they will not only be beaten, but also beheaded! Therefore, as soon as they arrived at the post, they cried to God: "God, please don't let me fall asleep.
Tell me when the enemy comes. "Stop it, I really know how to cry to the jade emperor. Realizing the sufferings of the border guards, the Jade Emperor thought of a way to send grass gods with grass seeds and scatter them outside the Great Wall. Grass is growing everywhere.
3. East Rice Warehouse and West Rice Warehouse
Looking south at Badaling, there are two mountains, and the gravel on the mountains is rice-grained. The mountain in the east is called Dongmicang, and the mountain in the west is called Simicang. To build the Great Wall, migrant workers have to eat. There are many people, so we have to eat a lot of food every day.
At that time, all the country's grain was sent here. There is not enough food, but more food, which is moldy in the sun and rain. Despite the constant delivery, it is still not enough for migrant workers to eat. Migrant workers don't have enough to eat and have to do heavy work, so even if they are hungry and tired, more people will die.
4, transporting ice stones
When Jiayuguan City was first built, thousands of stone strips 2 meters long, 0.5 meters wide and 0.3 meters thick were needed. After the craftsmen cut the stone strips in Montenegro, they couldn't lift them, the carts couldn't walk, and the mountains were too high and the roads were too far to transport them.
Everyone is worried while cutting stone strips. Seeing that winter is coming, the stone strips have not been shipped out of the mountains. If the construction period is delayed, it will be small without salary, and this head will be difficult to protect. Everyone sighed for a long time. Just then, suddenly there was a muffled thunder from the top of the mountain, and a piece of brocade fell from the white clouds. All the craftsmen quickly caught it and saw several lines looming on it. After reading it, everyone suddenly realized and did it.
5. Goats carry bricks
Jiayuguan City, the wall is 9 meters high, and dozens of pavilions of different sizes and countless stacked walls will be built on the wall. The amount of bricks used is amazing. At that time, the construction conditions were very poor, there was no lifting equipment, and it was all carried by hand. At that time, the bricks used to repair Guancheng were all burned 40 miles away.
After the brick is burned, it will be pulled to the bottom of Guancheng by ox cart, and then carried up manually. Because of the height of the city, the only way to get up and down is steep and it is difficult to get up and down. Although many people were sent to carry the bricks on the wall, all of them were tired to death, but the bricks on their backs were still in short supply, which seriously affected the progress of the project.
