Describe the aftermath of drought and plague in ancient cities

The scattered officials galloped on the dry hills, and the dust and mud covered their eyes. The trees in the mountains are less colorful, and the springs by the streams are trickle. Everywhere there is too much rest, and every family of old and young is crying and has no harvest.

Although the lower officials are worried about the people's tears, they are difficult to shoulder and thousands of people are worried. This is a poem written by Wang Menglei, who was the chief bookkeeper of Pingjiang in the first year of Longxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1163), after witnessing the famine caused by the great drought in Hunan, and the miserable scene of the peasants having no harvest and no livelihood, leaving us a true record of social life after the drought.

Hanshu Wang Mang's Biography contains: Wang Mang's time, "there was a long drought for many years, and there were ordinary years of death, and people were cannibalistic ...... in the north and Qingxu land."Seventeen or eighteen died of hunger. Another example, "Ming Yingzong Records" contains:

In the third year of Tianshun, "Chenzhou, Yongzhou, Changde, Hengzhou, Yuezhou, Tonggu, Wukai and other government guards did not rain from May to July, and the people were starving." ”

Xu Guangqiyun: "Floods and droughts are disasters, and there are still many places that have been spared, but the drought is extremely locust." For thousands of miles, the grass and trees are all gone, or the cattle and horses are all gone, and the harm is especially worse than the flood and drought.

Prolonged droughts often lead to large-scale plague epidemics, which seriously threaten the safety of life and property. For example, "Historical Records: Filial Piety and Filial Piety" contains the "great drought" in the second year of the Later Yuan Dynasty. Hengshan Kingdom, Hedong, Yunzhong County Epidemic Epidemic", Old Tang Book · Dezong Benji" recorded that in the summer of the sixth year of Zhenyuan, "Fujian and other provinces were dry, wells and springs were dry, people were thirsty, and many people died from the epidemic."

In April of the third year (22nd year) of Emperor Wang Mangdi, "drought and frost locusts, famine and famine, the people were poor and displaced. In the summer of that year, "locusts came from the east and covered the sky", and "hundreds of thousands of displaced people entered the customs" ("Hanshu Wang Mang's Biography"). At the beginning of Emperor An of the Eastern Han Dynasty, "floods and droughts were different for many years, and most of the counties were starved and ......."In addition to the famine, the people are overflowing, and the families are exhausted" ("The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of Fan Hong"); In the ninth year of Emperor Huan's reign (166), "Qing and Xu Yan were drought, the five grains were damaged, and the people migrated" ("The Book of the Later Han Dynasty: The Biography of King Chen").

I can't find anything else, so I'll just take it.

It's terrible to see the dead and wounded.

The Household Department is in charge of the decrees of the nationwide household registration and enslavement. The squire is in charge of auditing the accounting and statistical work such as the edition and the actual levy of the service. Its daily work includes reclamation for immigrants, appeasement and resettlement of displaced people, and based on the fish scale atlas and the yellow book, to inhibit the annexation of the wealthy people; to limit the land to the people of heresy; Arboriculture Section, Agricultural Officer; grazing horses on grassland; Electrify tenants to the best of the location; Compensation for years of arrears can be waived according to the circumstances; According to the revenue and expenditure of each province, adjust the surplus and shortage; Reduction of errand service is exempt from reinstatement; Pension relief for the poor and elderly in disaster areas, rewards for meritorious people; Weigh the market, assess prices; Levy taxes on Shanze Pochi, Guanshi, and Kengye; Supporting the army to lose, supervising the transportation, supporting and transferring the tun seeds, opening the middle to the real side, and the hundred officials and Lu to pay; Regularly compile household registers, adjust households, etc., to understand the changes in population and land; Illegal acts such as concealing household registration and embezzling land shall be stopped and corrected in a timely manner.

After the Sui and Tang dynasties in China, an administrative system of six ministries was formed, and the finance was controlled by the household department, so the summer sowing of disaster relief grain had to be through the hands of the household department.

"The Great Ming Tribulation".

The movie "Da Ming Tribulation" is directed by Wang Jing, produced and written by Xie Xiaodong, and starring Feng Yuanzheng, Dai Liren, Feng Bo, and Yu Shaoqun. "The Great Ming Tribulation" tells the story of the plague rampant in the 15th year of Chongzhen (1642), Li Zicheng's attack on Kaifeng, the internal and external troubles of the Ming Dynasty, and the story of Sun Chuanting and Wu Youke swearing to fight the army and the plague respectively. The film was released in China and North America on October 25, 2013.

Ancient Chinese medicine was better than foreign medicine, and Chinese medicine was better than Western medicine in ancient Europe.

At that time, the Black Death should have been incurable, both in China and abroad.

It is not prevalent in China, probably because of the high level of civilization and the ability to detect and isolate the source of the disease as soon as possible.

** It is impossible to induce sandstorms and typhoons.

Secondary disasters refer to a series of disasters caused by landslides, mudslides, tsunamis, floods, plagues, fires, toxic gas leaks, and the spread of radioactive materials that threaten life after the occurrence of strong disasters, collectively referred to as secondary disasters Secondary disasters are generally divided into fires, toxic gas pollution, bacterial pollution, etc

Without famine, there would have been no large-scale peasant uprising, and without the peasant army, hundreds of thousands of officers and troops would not have been pinned down in the interior, and the Ming Dynasty could still concentrate on solving the Manchu Qing in the northeast, and perhaps the Qing Dynasty would not exist in the Book of Filial Piety.

If you have the money to fight, you won't be taken away by the Manchu Qing wave. After that, it is not easy to say, because the peak of the Xiaoice River was the Qing Dynasty, when a more ruthless one appeared in the northwest.

Many of the policies of the Ming Dynasty were problematic, and even foreigners knew this. It can only be said that if the military sensitivity is enough, the border army of the Ming army will not defect on a large scale. In that case, only relying on the Qing army will not be able to eat the Central Plains, and it is estimated that it will naturally decline after living like Wara.

But because it soon rose to a more ruthless Dzungar Mongol, it is very difficult to say what happened next. The combat effectiveness of the Dzungar soldiers was much stronger than that of the Eight Banners Army, and the Ming army almost certainly did not compete.

The city of the Inca Empire in South America - Machu Picchu, the "city in the sky".

Cusco, the capital of the Maya, was devastated by smallpox and other plagues brought by the Spanish colonizers.

The military general died of illness, and the props were ** by the monarch. There is a plague in the city, and the martial arts in the city will be sick, and the most serious ones have been tried to the "endangered" state, and the ones who died directly have not tried. If the monarch dies, the item is on the next monarch!

If the military commander carrying the prop goes to the field, the prop is still on the general.

If the general dies, the props will go to the monarch's body Oh, the city warrior with the plague will be injured! The chances of dying are small, you can ask me if you know

If it is a monarch item, it is left for the heir. Lost normal generals. You will get sick and you will not necessarily die.
