Why didn't the Song Dynasty fortify the Great Wall?

>>2472323
They werent believers in walls

It was cheaper to pay off the steppeniggers to not raid them

>>2472337
>spend lots of years, workforce and money to build a huge wall
>lmao ain't using that shit better pay those steppe fags

Fucking why.

because the steppe niggers could just ride around them

>>2472357
The wall is there to control trade, civilian population flow, and as a place to put garrisons.

It isn't going to help you much against an enemy army.

>>2472323
>Liao and Jin added to the wall
How ironic

It would have been a waste because all of the barbarians eventually came from the sea. Rule, Brittania!

>boatniggers starts a war because they couldn't afford tea

>>2472323
To keep the mongols at bay.

I don't think the southern Song were even touching the wall during the Happening.

>>2473219
I was more referring to the Northern Song, who did have steppe troubles too.

>>2472371
Chinese cultural influence was STRONK

>>2473203
if only the Chinese knew how great a threat they would be

>>2472323

Lmao what's the point of the most northern wall?

Who lives there ? Eskimos?

>>2474935
Ask the Liao, they're the ones that built it (despite being one the steppeniggers the Han built the wall to keep out).

Khitans have nothing to do with the Xiongnu.

>Liao: We should build a northern wall to protect ourselves from the mighty reindeer riding "Eskimo" or else they will conquer us and found the "Fish Dynasty"!!
