It's really urgent to rush 800 Li, even the fiercest bandits dare not rob it. What is the reason?

Everyone watching ancient TV plays should know that horses were the main means of transportation in ancient China. At that time, unlike us now, we could fly by car. Moreover, in ancient times, there were no mobile phones. If the two places are far away, the communication between them will be very troublesome.

We often hear the word "eight hundred Li running" in the TV drama scenes during the ancient war. Talking about this often means that the information is very urgent and should be sent out immediately. So how urgent is this 800-mile attack? In the Tang dynasty, it was stipulated that ordinary fast horses should reach the speed of 180 alitian, and they could run 600 li in the fastest day.

One mile in ancient times was about 454 meters now. It can be said that it is very fast. To achieve this speed, of course, more than one horse. The ancient imperial court would set up a post station every 20 miles. Every time the news arrives at a post station, it will be replaced by a new person and a new horse to continue walking. This news will not stop at all, which shows how urgent it is.

There are many robbers lying in wait. For example, in ancient times, there was an organization called Escort Agency, which specially protected the goods of caravans from being taken away by bandits. Isn't it very troublesome if the sender meets bandits? In fact, there is no need to worry about this problem at all, because no matter how fierce bandits are, they will not attack these intelligence personnel.

Anyone who sends an 800-mile urgent message has a flag around his waist, which reads: 800-mile urgent, a gold medal awarded by the royal government, those who resist die, and those who resist die. If bandits dare to block this information, they will certainly be besieged by the imperial court. This is obviously a loss-making business. Bandits are all for money, and they won't risk their lives for a little money.

And generally speaking, people who send messages don't have much money with them. So bandits have a little brains, weigh the pros and cons in their hearts, and will not rob these intelligence personnel. If bandits had no brains, they would have been eradicated by others. From these situations, we can also see that the government attaches great importance to 800 Li Chong. It is precisely because the government attaches so much importance to 800 Li Chong that it has such a great deterrent.
