It was founded by a farmer named Zhu Yuanzhang in 1368, with a history of 276 years. During these 276 years, the Ming Dynasty experienced the rule of Hongwu, Yongle and Ren Xuan. .......
Slowly, Daming became powerful and became a very powerful empire. Not only all countries have come to South Korea, but the navy is also the first in the world, so that all countries in the world can not be underestimated.
However, Daming has never escaped the fate of 300 years. 1644, Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen hanged himself, and the Ming Dynasty perished, which lasted for 276 years.
Why did the Ming Dynasty perish?
Is it the peasant uprising in Li Zicheng? Let Daming perish?
Or did the constant aggression of the Qing Dynasty make Daming perish?
Or because of the political struggle in the late Ming Dynasty? Eunuch party and government?
These are all reasons, but there is a more important reason-plague.
Yes, the Ming Dynasty finally died of a plague.
In 2020, as soon as we heard the epidemic, we talked about it. Hundreds of years ago in Daming, countless Daming people were just like us, but not as lucky as us, without better medical conditions and strong country as support.
very
That plague, that plague, made Daming perish and disappeared in the long river of history.
Li Yushang, a professor of history at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, once said: "History tells us that infectious diseases destroyed the country, Rome died of malaria, Egypt died of schistosomiasis, and China also died of plague during the Jin Dynasty."
Why did Daming die of the plague? When did the plague begin?
The plague that led to Daming's national subjugation was prevalent in Chongzhen from 6 to 17. It started in Xing County, Shanxi Province, but it was not controlled. The local area did not attract enough attention, and the epidemic spread step by step.
By Chongzhen 14, the plague had reached Daming House and Shuntianfu in Hebei Province.
The arrival of the plague completely destroyed these places. At that time, local chronicles wrote, "Plague, most people died and killed each other."
Obviously it was so serious, but at that time, Daming at home and abroad did not respond wholeheartedly to the plague, did not do his best, and did not do his best.
Then, the year before Li Zicheng invaded Beijing, the plague invaded Beijing, making Beijing a "dead city" with no resistance.
According to records, there were ten rooms and nine vacant rooms in Beijing at that time, and even every household was exhausted and no one converged.
In April of Chongzhen 16, the daily death toll in Beijing has reached tens of thousands.
According to statistics, in Beijing with a population of 800,000 to 6.5438+00,000, the number of plague deaths exceeded 200,000. .......
Even the plague spread to the army, reducing the number of troops in the Ming Dynasty by half.
Therefore, after Li Zicheng came to Beijing, Daming was easily destroyed.
It's a pity that Daming, a powerful man, finally died because he didn't pay attention to the plague.
