Everyone thinks that the plague of the Ming Dynasty is the last straw to crush the Ming Dynasty. Originally, the strength was weak at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and natural and man-made disasters were even more vulnerable, and the city was full of wind and rain. So the plague in Ming Dynasty was very serious.
According to the historical records at that time, there were four particularly large-scale plagues in the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty alone, and other natural and man-made disasters were even more miserable. And the reason behind these plagues is drought. The biggest one was in Chongzhen 14 year of Ming Dynasty, which lasted for four years.
As long as people mention the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chongzhen, they will feel great pity for him. Although he loves you very much and is very talented in governing the country, during his administration, natural and man-made disasters continued, including plague, flood and drought. These disasters will last for a long time.
In fact, the curse of disaster existed long before Chongzhen came to power. Since the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the climate in North China has been abnormal and the precipitation in the whole country has decreased. As a result of this influence, drought also began to wreak havoc. And the bodies of people and animals who died in the disaster gave off stench and bacteria, which led to the plague.
In the middle and late Ming dynasty, that is, during the Wanli period of the Ming dynasty, many farmers in the north went south to nomadic areas and began to reclaim wasteland on the grassland. Too frequent exchanges and contacts between the north and the south have also laid a curse for the future plague.
At that time, the plague was very serious, and all the people in the city fled, resulting in an empty city, leaving only the bodies of people and animals. Even the officials were afraid to go near, and the bodies could not be disposed of at all, so they finally had to give up the city. So many people moved in the Ming Dynasty.
