Chapter 504 Lin Shen, I am really a fool, really
700 miles.
Even the herders dare not come here.
Upon hearing this news, Yu Wen and the audience in the live broadcast room were all speechless.
They always thought that the Great Wall was a symbol of cowardice and closure.
But now it seems.
It is not what they thought at all.
The Great Wall can prevent small-scale raids by barbarians.
Reduce the annual consumption of manpower, silver, and food.
It can also be used as an economic transportation route.
It's perfect!
Lin Chen continued: "Do you think the barbarians don't build the Great Wall?"
"The Xianbei built the Great Wall to defend against the Rouran, and the Jurchens built the Great Wall to defend against Mongolia."
"Even now, the Ugly Country is building the Great Wall."
The only way for the Ugly Country to deal with smuggling is to build the Great Wall.
However, the Ugly Country's Great Wall is really too simple. It's not even a wall, just a layer of iron sheet.
"It's a bit funny."
Lin Chen said: "There were no mobile phones or wifi in ancient times. Do you think the ancients were fools?"
"The construction of the Great Wall cannot be completed in a day or a year."
"The Great Wall was built from the pre-Qin period to the Ming and Qing dynasties. Why?"
Yu Wen felt a burning pain on his face.
He lowered his head, dodging his eyes, not knowing what to say.
He doesn't even know what the function of the Great Wall is.
It's unworthy to be a scholar, unworthy to be a Dragon countryman.
Lin Chen looked at Yu Wen and said slowly: "You just quoted Voltaire's words. I also want to comment on Voltaire and his country."
"If building the Great Wall represents fear and building the pyramids represents fear of death, then Voltaire's hometown is undoubtedly better in this regard, because they can express both with just a white flag."
The country where Voltaire is located is a famous surrender country.
Once the war starts.
Raise the white flag and surrender at the first time.
Without any hesitation.
Yu Wen's face became even redder.
In the live broadcast room, the audience who just said that the Great Wall is useless now want to find a crack to crawl into.
"Fuck, I was deceived by those stupid literati."
"Wow, stop scolding, I really didn't know that the Great Wall is so powerful, I am unworthy of being a Dragon countryman."
"I feel that those literati are all saints."
"A saint can kill everyone."
"Thank you, Lord Lin, for popularizing science. I have learned a lot. I think these things should be written into textbooks. This is a building that our Dragon country can be proud of!"
"Yes, yes, it must be written into the book. Don't let the public intellectuals and the West poison it again."
Yu Wen took a deep breath, he raised his head and looked at Lin Chen.
"I'm sorry."
He said: "I was ignorant before and didn't know the benefits of the Great Wall."
"I didn't know the good intentions of our ancestors in building the Great Wall."
"Lord Lin, thank you."
Lin Chen nodded, this person can still be saved.
The audience in the live broadcast room also said together.
"Thank you, Lord Lin!"
If Lin Chen hadn't come out to explain, they would definitely continue to be deceived.
At this time.
Montaigne came back.
He didn't even look at Yu Wen, but walked directly to Lin Chen.
Montaigne said solemnly: "General Lin, I have an important news to tell you."
"I just received the news from Ye Bushou."
"There is a barbarian tribe that is about to launch a large-scale attack on us."
Lin Chen nodded and said: "I know."
Montaigne asked Lin Chen to discuss the strategy of repelling the enemy.
And Yu Wen, Zhang Wu and the audience in the live broadcast room were all curious.
Ye Bushou?
What is Ye Bushou?
After Montaigne and Lin Chen finished discussing, Montaigne left immediately.
The army is about to press on, and there is no moment to be idle now.
Seeing Montaigne leave.
Yu Wen asked Lin Chen curiously: "Lord Lin, what is Ye Bushou?"
Lin Chen: "..."
"Don't you know Ye Bushou either?"
Is this really a scholar?
"In addition to the garrison troops on the Great Wall, there is also a type of soldier responsible for sneaking into the barbarian enemy camp for reconnaissance."
"These people are walking on the edge of a knife at all times, and they will die if they are not careful."
"And they are also the most hated, abused and slaughtered targets of the barbarians."
"Because their survival rate is extremely low, and they are on the move all night, they are called the Night No Rescue."
Yu Wen was stunned again.
The audience in the live broadcast room also widened their eyes.
There are such troops in the world?
They guard the northern border together with the Great Wall and the Great Wall garrison troops, protecting the peace of the Dragon Kingdom for a thousand years.
South of the Great Wall, it is all Han territory, and north of the Great Wall, it is all jackals.
A wall of the Great Wall blocked countless fierce and barbaric enemies.
They actually said that the Great Wall is useless.
Yu Wen's eyes were red.
Snap!
A crisp sound.
He slapped himself hard.
"I'm such a fool, really."
The audience in the live broadcast room also trembled.
"I can't believe that for thousands of years, there are such a group of people who have been silently contributing and guarding the peace of this land."
"I really want them to know that we are living well now and have mastered very powerful weapons."
"Those barbarians have become good at singing and dancing in front of us now, and they no longer dare to wield weapons."
Lin Chen walked out of the room.
The barbarians are coming soon.
If we get rid of those barbarians, we should be able to complete the task?
Lin Chen went to find Montaigne to learn more information.
Maybe he could find out some hidden tasks.
At this time, Montaigne was assigning tasks.
Seeing Lin Chen coming, he smiled at Lin Chen and said: "General Lin."
Lin Chen asked him: "How many people are there in the barbarian tribe?"
Montaigne said: "According to Ye Bu Shou's information, there are about a thousand people coming this time."
He still had to continue to assign tasks.
"Since General Lin has come out, I'll take you around to have a look."
"Take you to get familiar with this place."
Montaigne was really optimistic about Lin Chen.
This man was young and handsome, with a handsome figure, extraordinary demeanor, and the demeanor of a big man.
Compared with him.
The man named Zhang Wu was a little stunned.
Montaigne didn't like him very much.
And the man named Yu Wen was even more of a coward.
Montaigne felt disgusted in his heart.
Only Lin Chen.
Let him feel satisfied and let him see the future.
Montaigne smiled and said to Lin Chen: "If I die, the people on the Great Wall will be handed over to you."
Lin Chen smiled lightly: "General Meng is joking."
"This is not a joke."
Montaigne said slowly: "I am a little tired."
Lin Chen looked at Montaigne's face, and he clearly saw a trace of fatigue in Montaigne's eyes.
Montaigne looked up at the vast grassland.
There were memories and regrets in his eyes.
"Thinking carefully, I have been here for 20 years."
"I used to think that a man should make a career and climb over a mountain when he saw it."
"But now, I miss the peach blossoms in my hometown a little bit."
He looked at Lin Chen and said: "Sometimes, the scenery on the other side of the mountain may not be as good as this side."
Montaigne joined the army at the age of sixteen. When he came to the Great Wall, he was almost thirty years old. Now twenty years have passed.
He is almost fifty years old.
He left home at the age of sixteen and never went back.
Lin Chen asked him: "Do you miss home?"
Montaigne turned to Lin Chen and said: "I love peach blossoms."
Lin Chen thought, Montaigne's hometown has peach blossoms, so he must miss home very much.
"I will be able to go back soon."
Lin Chen said so.
As long as all the barbarians are dealt with and the mission is completed, Montaigne can naturally resign and retire and return to his hometown.
