The biggest natural disaster in China killed hundreds of millions of people. When and what event?

In the face of natural disasters, human beings are very small. The biggest natural disaster in China should be regarded as a small glacier disaster in the Ming Dynasty. Extreme cold weather not only reduced grain production and made it difficult to survive, but also led to epidemic diseases, which increased man-made disasters in the war and eventually caused hundreds of millions of deaths.

Little Glacier Disaster

Has it existed since ancient times? There are unexpected events in the sky? The ancients were very reverent for nature and knew that human resources were irreparable in the face of natural disasters. In fact, the policy was quite good at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. Although the treasury was not full enough, the people lived well, but it ushered in a super disaster? The Little Glacier Disaster, just like its name, caused the temperature in the whole Asian region to drop extremely, and it also snowed in Guangdong in the south, and it was frozen thousands of miles in the north. The most direct impact of this weather is how people can survive in such cold weather. Great influence

The sudden change of the weather caused the grain harvest to drop sharply, and the northern provinces could be said to have no grain harvest. In the case of cold and hunger, the Ming Dynasty also ushered in these foreign wars in Liaodong. The weather not only affected the Ming Dynasty, but also froze the cattle and sheep of these northern nomads to death. Nomads without food had no choice but to March into the Ming Dynasty again and again, which brought heavy military pressure to the Ming Dynasty. Under the circumstance that the state treasury was not full, the court had to pay for these crops. Even if we survived the cold and hunger and escaped the war and taxes, the cold weather brought a plague to the Ming Dynasty. A plague could directly weaken the strength of an army, which not only caused a decline in combat effectiveness, but also made the financial situation more difficult, which made the Ming Dynasty into turmoil and countless people suffered.

This disaster has not only caused damage to China, but also affected the whole of Asia, and even Europe has a food crisis. Such a super catastrophe has drastically reduced the total population of the whole country, with hundreds of millions of deaths. Seeing the historical data, it is natural and unpredictable. ?
