How fast was it in ancient times to rush 800 miles The reason why robbers didn't dare to rob, robbers looking for a dead end?
In ancient times, the 800-mile teleportation became a legend of magical speed, and this mysterious mode of transportation even terrified the bandits. It's a fascinating historical mystery: how could extraordinary events in antiquity cross such great distances so quickly? What is even more intriguing is why even the most savage robbers are afraid and think that this is looking for death.
This article will take readers on a journey through the ancient and mysterious"Accelerated transfer system"to reveal how the technology works and how it works. What mechanisms ensure the safe transmission of information over a distance of more than 800 miles in a hostile environment? Why can't the bandits who dare to intercept information resist the seemingly mundane but inaccessible accelerated transmission system?
i.Imperial courts were everywhere, and ancient China had a deep foundation of exchange.
The watchtower stands tall and overlooks the vast expanse of the land. Smoke rose into the sky, and the signal towers were blazing. Sirens sound across the land - the enemy is coming!
In the era of information overload, the communication network built by the Chinese ancestors was formed in the ancient times before the telegraph and **. I saw that among the high mountains and mountains, the beacon tower towered in the wind, becoming the first barrier against foreign enemies; In the distant sky, several well-trained carrier pigeons flapped their wings and sent urgent messages thousands of miles away...
But the most important link in this vast network of mountains and rivers is still the postman who travels day and night. The efficient operation of the ancient Chinese communication system was inseparable from their rapid travel.
This begs the question: how did these emissaries on horseback like bamboo poles have the power to travel day and night? What is the security behind their intense work?
When it comes to the roots of communication in ancient China, we have to mention the rise of the post station. As early as the Qin and Han dynasties thousands of years ago, the prototype of ancient Chinese mail cars had appeared. In the centuries that followed, the national postal network continued to expand and evolve. In the heyday of the Tang and Song dynasties, post stations were densely distributed throughout the country, with a post station almost every ten kilometers. The post station provided the couriers with timely supplies and up-to-date horses, allowing them to carry out delivery tasks efficiently and without interruption.
In the past, stagecoaches were the backbone of communication. Most of these horses were purchased by private individuals and carefully selected for inclusion in the postal system, where they were trained and nurtured for a long time. Some historical accounts of these horses continue to inspire future generations"The horsepower is so great that it travels thousands of miles without reversing"。Here, these pampered mail horses became reliable helpers for the messengers on their eight-hundred-mile journey.
Of course, the ancient Chinese post station was used for much more than just transporting mail. In fact, the functions of these post stations are so extensive that they can be said to be service camps in ancient transportation centers. From chariots and horses to resting messengers, from mail to official documents, these caravans could do anything. From Bianjing to Dongdu, from small villages to towns, these post stations are densely distributed to meet the needs of travelers and **. Silk merchants could spend the night here; From Henan to Jiangsu, the official documents of the province can be passed here, and the horses can be escorted here...Countless people have benefited from these vast and close-knit network of post stations.
Ancient Chinese messengers had a reliable foothold in these fortified post stations that spread throughout the country. It was they who laid the material foundation for the wagons erected on telephone poles to travel day and night; It was they who ensured that the invincible messengers who traveled far away were replenished on time; It was they, with the help of this vast transportation network, who were able to cross the eight-hundred-mile boundary and quickly deliver urgent matters thousands of miles away.
ii.The miracle of the apostle's day and night journey and 800-mile journey was achieved.
At noon, in the Forbidden City of the capital, a Pegasus messenger ran out of the palace with a secret letter that stretched thousands of miles. After a moment of apprehension, he took three steps and made two, ignoring the biting cold wind, and began to run out of the city, where he had been waiting on horseback for a long time. After several ups and downs, he sat firmly behind the horse, and then with a flick of the reins, and with a long neigh, the two of them turned into a shadow of the wind, and quickly got into the Mercedes and left.
When he saw the city wall shrinking rapidly behind him, he knew that his eight-hundred-mile aerial mission had officially begun. In order to save time and increase efficiency, he had to travel non-stop. The only thought of the envoy now was to complete this simple but important task as soon as possible, reach the next outpost, change horses, and set off again.
So, the couriers took turns riding their new horses and made steady progress along the mail route. Although the process was very hard, the messengers never flinched. They are well aware that what they are carrying on their shoulders is not only a simple letter, but also a great responsibility related to the operation of the country and the security of the nation. It is because of this attitude of loyalty and responsibility that the couriers of 800 kilometers have the extraordinary perseverance and tenacity to travel through time and space.
Among them were several alert postal couriers who took advantage of the short break to check the condition of the horses they were replacing. These horses also face a difficult task and need to be properly cared for. Some postal couriers also perform ** on horses to prevent problems with the horses' hooves and ensure that they are in tip-top condition when they leave work. Postman on these"Comrades-in-arms"The love embodies the Chinese nation's virtue of being willing to contribute and treating the suffering of others as one's own.
MEPs constantly remind themselves that they must stay awake during the fast run. Negligence can lead to someone else stealing important information, which would be a serious dereliction of duty. Therefore, couriers must always be aware of their surroundings and protect themselves from robbers. In very tense situations, they have to run to the end, and they never dare to back down even when the outside world is getting farther and farther away from them. Their sense of responsibility and dedication make them true messengers of 800 km.
We ask ourselves, why do we need to transcend borders? And why are they so determined? In fact, the envoys are the embodiment of this ancient Chinese civilization. Like their ancestors, they carved out this land with the determination to fight against fate and face the mountains and rivers. The indomitable spirit of today's envoys is a true portrayal of the Chinese temperament that they have been exposed to since childhood. Perhaps because of this, the Eight Hundred Miles envoy has innate tenacity and perseverance.
Thirdly, the rapid march of 800 kilometers made the country so heavily guarded that even bandits did not dare to rob.
On the ancient post road, there was a group of people who did not dare to stop even the wildest locusts to rob them, and they were the people who carried the necessary official documents for the stagecoach on the eight-hundred-mile post road. The reasons are roughly as follows.
First of all, the eight-hundred-mile expedited had a special legal status in ancient times. All dynasties and dynasties have clearly stipulated that harming 800 miles is equivalent to rebellion, and it must be severely punished. As long as it hinders the normal progress of the dart master's suppression of bandits, it is enough to give a heavy punishment. Faced with this tight legal system, the ruthless and bloodthirsty bandit leaders could only hold their breath and wait for the war horses to gallop by, for fear of violating the law and the rules of the imperial court.
Secondly, in the mysterious and vast power system of ancient China, the 800-li expedited envoy also has a special political symbolic meaning. They constantly traveled back and forth between the center of the dynasty and the border towns, and had a great responsibility for maintaining the normal functioning of the state apparatus. Not only are they responsible for delivering information, but they are also a key part of the functioning of the entire empire. Therefore, attacking them is tantamount to political treason, and causing an accident is a serious provocation to the imperial authorities.
That's why these ruthless ** don't dare to touch this political high-voltage line. They knew that if they stretched out their evil claws, they would incur the wrath of the court and be punished with an iron fist. Finally, in the backward economic environment of the old era, the behavior of bandits was more out of the need to compete for immediate interests than the need to confront state power.
There was nothing of value in the eight-hundred-mile expedited shipment except letters, so these ill-intentioned thieves and robbers could not increase their interest in robbery. In addition, their whereabouts can be easily discovered, and the consequences will be serious, and the average thief will not be willing to take this risk. On the other hand, some gold and silver jewelry is more likely to attract the prying eyes of thieves. So, in contrast, 800 million messengers became in the eyes of these former robbers"Apathy"role.
However, the journalists never wavered in their firm position. As part of the state apparatus, they must do everything in their power not to be killed, even if there is a 1 in 1 million chance of being killed. This innate sense of urgency is what keeps journalists from flinching. That's the consequence of the whole package. Even on a mail route where there was no danger, the 800-mile-long messenger never stopped on the way.
The 800-mile postal route opened up by ancient Chinese civilization made a great contribution to the speed of communication at that time. Because of this, we can still see the unremitting and persevering dedication of the Chinese nation since ancient times in the postman today. Perhaps, this never-say-die spirit will inspire our generation, like our predecessors, to bravely overcome difficulties and dangers, to move forward bravely, and to pursue their dreams.
