The simple way of pestering old historical accounts is out of date today. The historical value of soaking in hatred is very low. The number of people killed by disputes alone is also extreme. Every change of dynasty will cause a sharp decline in population. Tens of millions of people died in Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, Five Dynasties and Ten Countries. Have you forgotten? The fundamental reason is that the productivity of ancient times could not meet the needs of the huge population at that time. No matter who is in power, the people will rebel if they don't have enough to eat, and naturally they will fight and die. Moreover, many slaughterhouses have political purposes. For example, after the siege, there is not enough food to help the victims, and war naturally becomes an outlet valve for social mechanisms. If you think Manchu killed more Han people than you, please ask Manchu, old and young women and children to add a whole family of 200 thousand people to kill 8 thousand people. And how many days will it take to cut you off from the northeast to Guangdong and Guangxi? Did the 600,000 soldiers who surrendered in the Ming Dynasty (including the famous traitor Wu Sangui and his Ning Guan fighters) have any friendship with the rebel peasant army? Again, where did you get your 80 million? From where? How to calculate it? Don't tell me you're Baidu ... you don't have a rigorous attitude to explore history, and you don't even know how many people your ancestors killed. Isn't BB stupid here? ! Does it include Zhang's millions of Sichuanese in Tuchuan? This grandson was killed by the Qing army. )
Does the landlord know that there were eight banners in Han Dynasty? There were hundreds of thousands of traitors in the early days, typical of Kong Youde. These grandchildren burned and looted everything.
In Ge's History of Population Development in China, it was also mentioned that the population estimate in the early Qing Dynasty was still about 65.438+0.5 billion, but the landlord selectively ignored this point, and then chose another person's underestimation, but claimed that it was still a higher estimate. If the population in the early Qing Dynasty was only 6.5438+0.4 million, that is to say, in less than 200 years, the population of China in the Qing Dynasty increased ten times. Is this possible? Made of stone? People without demographic knowledge will think it is possible.
The landlord's estimate of the population in the late Ming Dynasty is higher than that in the early Qing Dynasty, so it is concluded that the population of China has decreased by hundreds of millions. The landlord's purpose is very clear, that is, to exaggerate the massacre after the Qing army entered the customs to render national hatred. The population of China in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties may have decreased by tens of millions, but this was caused by many factors such as famine, plague and war. The total number of the Eight Banners entering the customs exceeds100,000, and a large part of the troops should be divided into Beijing. In fact, only tens of thousands of people were sent to various places to fight. How can you slaughter tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people? In fact, since most of the Ming officials and troops surrendered to the Eight Banners Army, the war after the Qing army entered the customs did not last long. By about 1650, the Qing army had controlled most of the country, and the wars since then were mainly confined to parts of the southwest and southeast coasts. Many battles were fought by several Nanming regimes themselves.
Sichuan's population has dropped sharply. In the sixth year of Wanli (1578), the population of Sichuan was 3. 10273 (in the Ming Dynasty, taxes were linked to the head count, so the population of Sichuan in the late Ming Dynasty was much larger than the previous data, even tens of millions. ) ("Yao Minghui" volume 50), by the early Qing Dynasty, there were only 80,000 people left (another way of saying it is 500,000). In short, the sharp drop in population is certain. Moreover, from the research data of Huguang filling Sichuan in recent years, it can be seen that most of the villages surveyed moved from other places, so there must have been a sharp drop in population at that time, and it was not a sharp drop of 23/ 10, from 6 million to 80 thousand, but a sharp drop close to extinction.
