of the people suffered from nightmares. <>

In 1875, there was a very large drought in North China. And this drought has been going on for a long time, and the situation is getting worse day by day. You know, the drought showed that the farmers did not harvest when they were plowing, so there was a famine very quickly.

The famine was preceded by a locust plague among the people of the region.

The local people themselves no longer have much food to eat. The food stored at that time could only last for a while, and most of the people were unable to make ends meet. <>

After some time, there were signs of rain, and when the people thought they could finally survive the catastrophe, they did not expect that there would be many floods in the north. It can be said that these two disasters occurred one after another, causing very large losses to the people. It is these natural disasters that have left the people in North China without a grain harvest, and most of them have become homeless.

At that time, people had to eat the roots and bark of the trees, and even then there was still a situation of people. <>

At that time, the life of the common people was very poor, thoughClear**Some disaster relief funds have also been allocated, but the silver taels of ** are distributed to these victims every week, and they still can't save too many lives. In the end, people can only survive by grinding stone noodles. Even so, this kind of noodles is not nutritious after all, but it is also harmful to the health of the people.

In ancient times, the people's means of dealing with these natural disasters were very weak, so after suffering from these natural disasters one after another, the local people died one after another.

The Dingwuqi Famine refers to a natural disaster that occurred in 1875. According to official statistics, about 10 million people died in the disaster. This disaster has left the people without a food harvest and become homeless, although ** has also sown some relief funds, but it still can't save too many people's lives.

Ding Wuqi famineIt refers to the natural disaster that occurred in 1875, which killed and injured more than 10 million Qing people. In addition to the famine, the people also suffered from drought and **, which left the people in the entire North China in a nightmare, and suffered heavy physical and mental damage.

The Dingmaoqi Famine was a natural disaster that occurred in 1875. It was a particularly severe time, and the local people suffered first from famine, and then from drought and **. Many people died.

The Ding Wu Qi Famine is a drought and famine that occurred in the Guangxu years, because those two years are the Ding Chou year and the Wu Yin year, so it is called the Ding Wu Qi Famine. According to statistics, the disaster caused about 10 million deaths, and more than 20 million people fled to other places, which had a great impact on the Qing Dynasty at that time.

Ding Wuqi said that because the disaster situation was relatively extensive, there were many people affected by the disaster, and later, in order to survive, many people would even choose to sell people and rob the dead to eat, which shows that the situation at that time was still very terrible.

Under the influence of natural causes, dark political rule and other reasons, the farms were cut off, the countryside was barren, and starvation was everywhere, about 10 million people starved to death, more than 2,000 people fled the famine, and some people sold their wives and children, and even cannibalized human flesh.

During the Guangxu period of the late Qing Dynasty, the four-year famine caused more than 1,000 people to starve to death and more than 20 million people to flee to other places. There are both natural and man-made disasters, which lead to the tragedy of cannibalism.

It's very terrible, people are very pitiful, they can't eat, a lot of people die, it's a very miserable sight, it's terrible.

According to historical records, the Ding Wuqi Famine was a rare drought and famine that occurred between 1875 and 1878 during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. The disaster killed more than 10 million people and left more than 20 million people fleeing famine.

When the family died, the victims did not dare to cry, for fear of being treated as food, the woman was not worth a thousand dollars, and in some places there was a tragedy of changing children and eating, which shows the horror of the famine.

In more than 2,000 years of feudal society, in addition to the spell of 300 years in history, in fact, there is a similar phenomenon at the end of the dynasty, that is, natural disasters, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the war, floods, locust plagues, and droughts continue year after year, in order to promote the productivity of the Central Plains, there was a great migration of Yongle.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, there were also disasters, and even a mysterious natural disaster broke out, "Wang Gongchang Da**" the dead were naked, so they ranked among the three unsolved mysteries of nature, but the largest drought and famine was the "Ding Xu Famine" in the late Qing Dynasty.

Ding Wuqi famine, is the Qing Dynasty Guangxu first year (1875) to the fourth year of Guangxu (1878) between a rare drought and orange famine, this disaster affected Shanxi, Zhili, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong and other provinces, resulting in more than 10 million people starved to death, the then governor of Shanxi Zeng Guoquan called it "more than 200 years of unseen disaster".

The reason why this kind of miracle happened was because in the mid-to-late 70s of the 19th century, the Westernists urgently increased taxes for the development of the "Westernization Movement".

Coupled with taxes and wars, grain production continued to decrease, and after the first opium war, the circulation of opium was not eliminated, and the local government openly allowed the cultivation of opium in order to fill its own pockets, and in order to meet the food needs of the province, it was stipulated that it could only be imported, and grain could not be exported.

In 1875, after the great drought began, the provinces watched the fire from the other side, which led to the further expansion of the disaster, even the Beijing division was also affected, and the disaster in North China was even more serious.

In order to control the flow of victims, the provinces have strictly guarded against it, even so, compared to the wealthy Jiangnan, millions of people have poured into the disaster hall, and after the sharp increase in the number of displaced people, a riot broke out.

Li Hongzhang, who has always advocated foreign aid, also accepted foreign aid for the first time, and began to vigorously provide disaster relief, but it was mainly suppressed by soldiers, and in less than a year, all the things that could be eaten were eaten, even Guanyin soil was not spared, and as the disaster situation continued to expand, people became food.

At first, the victims only used the dead as food, in order to prevent their relatives from being eaten, they didn't even dare to bury, and in the third year, the walking but weak living people also became food, in just three years, North China became a hell on earth, according to the Yonghe County Chronicles: young women are not cared for, the beauties are only a thousand dollars, and the inferior ones are not worth a penny, and human life is not as good as chickens and dogs.

It is difficult to vigorously provide disaster relief, and it is also the Qing Dynasty that used the money of the treasury to spend on the Westernization Movement and Cixi's daily expenses, and at that time there was a famous couplet written by Li Hongzhang, "The prime minister is thin in the world, and the world is famine."
