If these resources was used to survey China's land that would have been possible, and why will they attack nomad camps and farms if it was not a threat? sure a nomad camp might be a enemy encampment, but if its small enough to be considered as a threat, why attack it? But if its large enough to be a small army, might as well ask for their alliance, then kill them if they dont agree with your terms. | |

So after his wall was built, its completely surrounded by steam powered cannons ready to break it down. Hence, he should have built the cannon first, attacked the attackers so that his land will be safe. | |
