    Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement.

    About a quarter of the country's population died directly and indirectly from the war.

    The Pingtian War was indeed a great tragedy in the true sense of the word, and its duration, scale, loss, and impact were unprecedented in Chinese history. The loss of population, and the brutality and devastation of both sides, is unique in the history of the world. Even with the use of modern equipment, including the atomic bomb, it is difficult to match the Second World War, which has battlefields all over the world.

    The furious hurricane set off by the Taiping army swept everywhere, and the houses were in ruins and rubble everywhere. After many years of hurricane, it is still devastated, dilapidated and depressed, and desolate. The densely populated middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, because it is located in the center of the storm, is an area where the Taiping army and the Qing army fight for burning and killing

    In southern Jiangsu, there are often no residents for twenty or thirty miles, and in some places only one-fifth of the population remains.

    Zhejiang Province, a catastrophe, the road and the dead face each other, the former food and clothing home, most of them became starving.

    Anhui Province, southern Anhui "no farming, no cooking smoke in the village, cannibalism in the city"; Northern Anhui, "but there are yellow pennies and white bones, and there are no residential towns, and there is no one in the day".

    Jiangxi Province, hundreds of miles, "do not hear the sound of chickens and dogs, but see the hungry people frozen to death in the road".

    How many people died in this tragedy remains a mystery to this day. In 1883, an American missionary claimed that the Taiping War had cost the Chinese population 50 million.

    The U.S. minister to China at the time, Rou Keyi, estimated the death toll from the Taiping War at 20 million. This was an estimate made by foreigners in China at the time, and there was little factual basis. On the basis of conclusive historical data, scholars of contemporary Chinese population history have re-estimated this and formed two opinions:

    The first opinion, based on the number of households contained in the "Household Inventory" before and after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, holds that from 1851 to 1864, the Chinese population plummeted by 40%, and the absolute loss amounted to 100 million; The second opinion compares the pre-war population data with the 1911 Xuantong census data, and holds that the Taiping War directly caused at least 54 million excess deaths in Jiangsu, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Hubei provinces, and if we take into account the population losses in Hunan, Guangxi, Fujian, Sichuan and other provinces in other battlefields, then the population losses caused by the Taiping War to China were at least 100 million or more, and the number of excess deaths directly caused by the Taiping War reached 70 million.

    Regardless of which estimate is true, the Taiping War was not only an unprecedented catastrophe in Chinese history, but also the most brutal war in the history of all mankind, as World War II caused only 50 million excess deaths.

    Reading the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is indeed a heavy heart, and whether the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was a revolution or a civil strife, it brought great losses to China. About a quarter of the country's population died directly and indirectly from the war, what a terrible figure.

    <> "The Four Wars with the Most Deaths in History One Will Be a Success."

    The Anshi Rebellion occurred from the end of Xuanzong to the beginning of the Emperor Dynasty (755-763), and the leaders were the Tang Dynasty generals An Lushan and Shi Siming, so it was called the name of Anshi. And because it broke out in the Tianbao period of Tang Xuanzong, it is also known as the Tianbao Rebellion.

    This war had a great impact, marking the transformation of the Tang Dynasty from prosperity to decline, and also directly contributed to the situation of separating feudal towns. The parties involved in the war included the Tang Dynasty officials and Hui soldiers, and the Anshi rebel Han people, Khitan, Murowei, Hu and other hybrid armies. The number of direct or indirect deaths is about 13 million to 36 million.

    In the Qing Dynasty's war to destroy the Ming Dynasty, Nurhachi established Houjin in 1616, changed the name of the country to Qing in 1636, and officially became the ruler of China in 1644. The time when the Ming Dynasty was destroyed in the real sense was around the Kangxi period, and after that, the movement against the slogan of the Qing Dynasty and the restoration of the Ming Dynasty still existed until the end of the Qing Dynasty. In total, about 25 million people died in this battle for supremacy.

    The campaign to quell the Hui rebellion and regain Xinjiang began in 1862, when the Hui people in Shaanxi took advantage of the crude entry of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twist Army into Shaanxi to launch a rebellion, and an uprising broke out in the Ningxia region. It remained until the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was wiped out, and Zuo Zongtang led the Hunan army to begin to quell these rebellions. Ma Zhanao, the leader of the local Hui army in Gansu, surrendered, and the Hui army led by Bai Yanhu retreated to Xinjiang, and finally fled to Russia.

    In total, there were about 8 million to 12 million deaths in this war!

    The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was a peasant uprising war against the feudal rule of the Shibi Dynasty and foreign capitalist aggression of the Qing Dynasty, which was launched from Jintian Village in Guangxi Province from the first year of Xianfeng to the third year of Tongzhi (1851-1864) in the Qing Dynasty, and was the largest large-scale anti-Qing movement at that time.

    It was not until 1864 that the fall of Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Empire at the time, was completely declared the defeat of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. More than 20 million people died in this war, a horrific number, and it still seems terrifying!

With the increase of crop varieties, since the Song Dynasty, new crops have overcome the defects of the original barren land, especially the "Champa rice", which is early, early-maturing, drought-tolerant, and fine-grained, and is suitable for the fields of high Yang, which has a certain effect on preventing drought damage in the southeast and all over the country. During the Southern Song Dynasty, the planting range was further expanded, and the east and west roads of Jiangnan and Liangzhejiang roads were particularly popular. Champa rice and late rice were combined to form double cropping rice, which greatly increased the grain yield (from the encyclopedia), and the increase in grain production reduced the pressure on people's survival and promoted the growth of the population. >>>More
