Ancient slaves? Human sacrifice?
A lot of records in Oracle Bone Inscriptions? Human sacrifice? It is normal to kill two or three hundred people in a sacrificial ceremony, and kill thousands of people on a large scale. Only Emperor Gaozong Wuding sacrificed more slaves than 10000, and killed 500 slaves at the most.
In some sacrificial pits, human skulls were found as sacrificial objects, and even black skulls and Caucasian skulls appeared, which were largely from prisoners of war. All prisoners, usually women, should get married, their children should be adopted or killed, and men should be sacrificed in front of their ancestors to win.
Five Lakes and Sixteen Countries Rebellion
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, imperial power declined and the world was in chaos. In order to compete for territory, the princes fought for years. Wei, Shu and Wu carved up the world and formed a confrontation situation after they divided the forces of various factions.
Later, the war broke out again, the three countries returned to Jin, Sima established the Western Jin regime, and finally achieved a unified situation. However, the people's expectation for rest did not last long, and then the princes fought for power and profit. Eight kings civil strife? .
Years of war led to a sharp decline in population, many people were displaced, a large area of land was barren, and the national strength of the Western Jin Dynasty was weakening. The five conference tribes entrenched in the northwest, eyeing up, had already been unable to resist the ambition of invading the Central Plains, and took the opportunity to lead troops south to kill and plunder, thus entering the darkest period of China history.
The western Jin army was unable to resist, and a few rulers fled to the south of the Yangtze River to establish the Eastern Jin regime, surviving. And the vast areas in the north became the sphere of influence of the Hu people. Xianbei, Xiongnu, Jiezu, Qiang and Di nomads have successively established dozens of regimes, large and small. What is history? Five Hu and sixteen countries? .
These uncivilized savages are brutal and savage. Wherever they go, farmland is abandoned, ancestral temples are destroyed, and ancient books and cultural relics are completely destroyed. Han culture was severely stifled and the population of Han nationality dropped sharply. In the eyes of the Hu people, the Han people have simply become livestock, being slaughtered by others, which is the most terrible nightmare of the Han people's near extinction in history.
Ancient martyrdom system
Modern archaeology has found that more than 5000 people died in only a dozen tombs in Anyang Yin Ruins. Many of these forced martyrs have messy bones, and you can imagine the pain they suffered when they died. Also, in an archaeological excavation in 1976, there were many human sacrifice pits around a medium-sized tomb in the northwest suburb of Anyang City, Henan Province. Some of these people were beheaded, others had their hands and feet chopped off, and even left some messy bones with instruments of torture.
In addition, in the No.1 Tomb of Qin Gong in the Spring and Autumn Period, the number of people who died for Qin Jinggong reached 186, of which 166 was a trusted minister and concubine around Qin Jinggong, and the other 20 people should be humble domestic slaves. The bones of these ministers' concubines are relatively complete, while those of those slaves are rather messy. I think they must have been inhumanely abused before their death.
Zhu Can, a warlord of separatist regime at the end of Sui Dynasty
At that time, China people were everywhere, and all forces were on the same side. Among them, Zhu Can's hundreds of thousands of troops fled everywhere, and there was no one everywhere, which can be said to be terrible. Zhu Can, also known as Zhu Can, was the eighteen anti-Wang Zhiyi during Yang Di's three tours to the south of the Yangtze River. Zhu Canyuan was just an ordinary small official in the Sui Dynasty. Later, the loyalist went to the rebels, and he deserted. Later, he gathered some deserters and began to gather people to make trouble. At that time, the people were in dire straits, so Zhu Canyuan's troops soon reached hundreds of thousands. King Garullo? . When he becomes king, there is no way to solve the problem of food shortage in the army, so can Zhu start to let the soldiers eat with him? Human flesh? He led his people all the way from Zouxian, Shandong Province to Shannan, Zhong Nanshan, and there were no bones along the way. It's such a big devil who still calls himself the Chu Emperor, but in the end he was rejected by local strongmen and defeated. Although Zhu can make a comeback, he fell into the wrong hands.
Ancient war massacre
I have always felt that hell on earth is the most terrible, especially in a desperate environment. Although I haven't experienced it personally, I can understand it and imagine it from the words of history. People are most afraid of despair, especially despair related to life, which is why some people choose to end their lives after suffering from serious illness. They could have lived for a few years or even longer and given up their lives. This is fear of life and despair of life.
Spain colonized America.
When Spanish colonists discovered America at the end of 15, they quickly began to colonize America. /kloc-in 0/6, Spain easily conquered the Aztec Empire and the Inca Empire in America with advanced firearms. Spanish colonists slaughtered and plundered American Indians in the name of spreading Catholicism, taking away a lot of gold and silver. Smallpox is an important tool for Spain to colonize America. Smallpox caused a large number of American Indians to die and caused tens of millions of Indians to die. Later, British, French, Portuguese and other European colonists also came to America and slaughtered Indians like Spain, resulting in white Americans becoming the main body and Indians becoming the disadvantaged group.
Britain colonized Asia
/kloc-in the 0/9th century, British colonies spread all over the world, becoming an empire that never fell, but Britain was so powerful because it stood on the crazy plunder and countless bones of the colonial people. In order to rule India, Britain deliberately provoked conflicts between Muslims and Hindus, making them infighting and unable to resist colonial rule. 1943, Britain caused a great famine in Bangladesh for its own safety, starving 3 million people.
Slave trade
The crazy plunder of America by Britain, France and Portugal led to the death of a large number of Indians, which made the American labor force insufficient. Britain, France, Spain and Portugal plundered a large number of black slaves from Africa and sent them to the United States for hard labor. In order to make money, Britain, France and Portugal imprisoned the plundered slaves in ships, regardless of the lives of blacks. The harsh environment on the ship caused a large number of black deaths, with a mortality rate as high as 50%. The slave trade made Africa lose 1 100 million people, leaving Africa still poor and backward.
