The Lone Peak at the End of the Han Dynasty

Discussion on the Northeast Granary mentioned in "Lone Peak in the Late Han Dynasty": In the troubled times of the late Han Dynasty, the Han population dropped from 65 million to 30 million. Among them, less than 10 million people actually died on the battlefield, and at least 25 million people died of starvation. The main reason for starvation is that natural disasters and wars lead to food harvests, people are separated, and refugees change their sons to eat... In troubled times, food is the only hard currency. The Northeast Plain is the largest plain in China, with a length of about 1,000 kilometers from north to south and a width of 400 kilometers from east to west, covering an area of ​​350,000 square kilometers. Its land is fertile and is one of the only three black soil areas in the world. In the 21st century, the grain output of the four northeastern provinces (regions) accounts for one-third of China's total output and can feed nearly 500 million people. So what about the late Han Dynasty? As long as we achieve 2% of the 21st century, we can feed 10 million people! As early as 1990, Xinhua News Agency issued a news: Rice carbides more than 3,000 years ago were discovered in the Liaodong Peninsula. And in 1992, archaeologists discovered a system of ditches in Wuhuanchi Town, Fuxin, which was thought to be used for rice field irrigation. The Wuhuanchi ruins belong to the Gaotaishan culture, with an upper limit of 4,000 years ago. What is clearly recorded is Jilin rice. Jilin rice has a long history and culture. As early as the Tang Dynasty more than 1,300 years ago, Lucheng rice was already famous in China. Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, it was possible to grow rice and even have rice in the Liaodong Peninsula. Historically, there was a period of interruption of rice production because ethnic minorities such as the Liao Kingdom banned the cultivation of rice because digging ditches to plant rice would affect the cavalry's ability to gallop vertically and horizontally. In addition to rice, the fertile and oily land of the Northeast Plain is also suitable for growing bean sprouts (soybeans), millet, sorghum, etc. After optimizing production tools and developing the Northeast Plains well, the food problem can be solved in the late Han Dynasty. If there is food, there will be people, and if there are people, there will be strength. After the protagonist traveled through time, through hard work, he won the position of governor of Liaodong, vigorously opened up wasteland, sheltered (acquired) refugees, and protected the vitality of the nation. Develop your power and strive for world hegemony.

In ancient times, the Northeast had many elite soldiers and generals, but it was very difficult to develop and explode the population on a large scale, even if there were things like cotton.

Yes, the strategy is reasonable and the IQ is online.

Although I lost the bet, it is undeniable that I think this is a good book, but after all, I am poor 😒 and can only be forced to support books 😅

About saddles in the Han Dynasty: According to our country's archaeological data, horses in the Yin and Zhou Dynasties were mainly used for driving, so they did not have saddles. During the Warring States Period, saddle pads for riding appeared, which can be clearly seen on the Tao war horses in the Terracotta Warriors and Horses Pit No. 2 Of the Mausoleum of the First Emperor of Qin, which may be called "low saddles". ... The earliest saddles in the literature can be found in Volume 358 of "Taiping Yulan", which quotes "Six Tao" "Generals who ride on chariots and horses without horses and saddles will be punished", and "Historical Records. The Liuhou Family" "dismounts from the horse and sits on the saddle to ask". The shape of the high saddle that is still in use today was formed in the Western Han Dynasty. The royal family and the nobles had already "decorated the saddles and horses with extravagant carvings." (It can be seen that the "saddle pad" began in the Warring States Period, and the mature "high saddle" began in the Western Han Dynasty)

I think the description of the war is better, especially the grasp of grand strategy.

Dong Zhuo's idea of ​​​​reaching Liaodong is a bit nonsense.

Seeing the word Xia Xue reminds me of Yang Zi😃
