The Great Sui Empire

In the second year of Emperor Yang's Daye of the Sui Dynasty (AD 606), there were about 8.9 Million households and a population of about 46 million in the country. In the eighth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty (AD 626), the number of households in the country was less than 3 million. Among them, the number of households in the lower reaches of the Yellow River until the middle period of Zhenguan (based on the three counties of Hebei, Henan and Shandong) was less than 700,000, which was about one-seventh of the 4.7 Million households counted in these three places in the early years of Sui Dynasty. Starting from the seventh year of Daye (611 AD) when Wang Bo, a Shandong native, gathered a crowd to revolt and held high the anti-Sui banner, until the end of Wude, when the Li and Tang armies quelled the war in Central and Eastern China, in the past fifteen years, about 6 million households and 30 million people died in the war in Central and Eastern China, and the densely populated middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River were littered with corpses and desolate. At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, all the heroes rose up together, the swords roared, the tigers and eagles soared, and the momentum was magnificent. When countless people sing about this passionate history and praise the famous heroes, have they ever heard the cries of the 30 million innocent creatures in Middle-earth? Have you ever seen thirty million bones in the north and south of the river? Being born in this era is like walking into hell. In this way, he walked into hell, from Dunhuang to Luoyang, from a garrison soldier to a commander-in-chief, and plunged into the turbulent torrent of history full of hopes and dreams, trying to save those 30 million innocent creatures.
