But compared with the following, the plague above is really a minor illness.
To say that this is really a disaster with heavy casualties, and it is also the predecessor of the Black Death-the plague.
The earliest plague occurred in 54 1 year, which became the great plague in Justinian period. Rats and fleas from Egypt boarded a ship bound for the Eastern Roman Empire, where the plague spread wildly. There may be hundreds of thousands of casualties, but it happened that Justinian, the emperor of the East Rome, was bent on restoring his homeland and recruiting troops. The plague spread, killing at least150,000 people.
What is terrible is that this plague has not stopped there. The plague spread to western Europe, almost completely defeating the population and economy of western Europe. So western Europe fell into the middle ages for a hundred years and really became the poorest brother in Europe.
Unfortunately, a great plague broke out in China in the13rd century. The plague entered through the northern land Silk Road, destroying the center of the Yuan Dynasty in one fell swoop. Sixteen emperors were born one after another, two emperors died one after another, and the Dayuan Empire was almost paralyzed.
The plague once again spread along the Middle East to the troubled Western Europe, and the century-old war between Britain and France stopped, and people called it the "Black Death" with trepidation. Western Europe's already fragile economy is on the verge of collapse again.
The Black Death continued to extend to the17th century, which seriously weakened Daming's strength and caused its tragic situation of "ten rooms and one unique skill". At the same time, the "Milan plague" claimed almost one-third of the population in Eastern Europe.
Fortunately, the progress of human technological forces led to the invention of vaccines, and the plague that has been raging for thousands of years has finally been brought under control.
