The long drive of the Liao State brought a great crisis to the people of Chang'an, the Liao State was strong, and the Central Plains was eyeing the Central Plains, and the people of the Song State were very afraid of the people of the Liao State. It has always been the most pitiful thing about wars, and the soldiers of the Song Dynasty did not allow the people to escape, and they began to hate this group of people to death in their hearts.

Now at this time, the main people in charge of Chang'an in the Song Dynasty are also to prevent the enemy's spies from entering the city, because in their opinion, the Khitan did not enter the city, but the common people because of the outbreak of war, the way to escape is indeed to make people panic all day, the current Great Song Dynasty Chang'an, one news contains another news, the people of Chang'an suddenly erupted and poured out of the county, hearing such a news, the seed release suddenly sighed wave after wave of unevenness, and now the news that should not come still appeared?

At this moment, the common people are shouting for them to go out on their own. At this time, the soldiers said coldly: "Now that Chang'an City is facing challenges, the Liao State spies are everywhere?" Who knows if there are any people from the Liao Kingdom among you, we are doing this just in case, after all, you are usually protected by us, and this is also what our group of people should do! Say yes! ”

At this moment, the common people all said to the subordinates: "General, now that Da Liao is driving straight in, if you enter a no-man's land, General, let us out!" You don't have a wife or children. But our family is in Chang'an, if the Liao army invades and our family is injured as a result, who do you want us to find? Even if there are Liao spies, what is there for our people, we just don't want our wives and children to be injured, and if we stay in the city, it must be our group of people who will be injured! ”

Since ancient times, there has been a saying in China: "It is better to be a peaceful dog than to be a chaotic person." Those who are high up in the top cannot understand this sentence. Only the common people will deeply understand the pain and despair.

How can ordinary people save their lives in troubled times? It's a tough question.

When war comes, first of all, the government recruits soldiers, and the people have to serve in the military. Being a soldier means dying in the army, so if the people want to live, they must avoid military service.

In ancient China, as long as it was not a war related to the life and death of the country or a troubled era that was too outrageous, the conscription was basically in accordance with the laws and order, and only young and strong men were needed to serve as soldiers.

But sometimes when we encounter outrageous times, such as the Warring States Period, there will be a military system for all people. In the Spring and Autumn Period, the soldiers used by various countries were often only tens of thousands, but in the Warring States, there were often 100,000 or even hundreds of thousands. The reason for the sudden increase in the number of soldiers in the Warring States period is not that the population base has increased dramatically, but that almost all the people are soldiers. This state of affairs reached the late Warring States period. It is even more exaggerated that the Qin State went abroad with millions of soldiers, and the number of other heroes was also in the hundreds of thousands. Nearly one-third of the country's population went to war, and with the exception of the old, weak, sick and disabled, imagine how little chance the rest of the people would have escaped military service.

In order to escape the war, most of the people will avoid the war, leave their hometowns, and become miserable homeless people who are wandering at the end of the world, hungry and precarious.

What will happen to the displaced people?

Hunger, pestilence, rebellion.

Eating Guanyin soil, bark and grass roots is nothing, and sometimes it is even cannibalism; If there are many displaced people, it will also cause diseases and plagues, which will spread from one to ten, and the number of deaths will be large.

What's even more terrifying is that if you meet those generals who want to use the heads of innocent people as military workers; Or the undisciplined army, which is more like falling into hell.

For example, the state of Qin adopted Shang Ying's suggestion and set the title into twenty ranks, and awarded knights according to the number of heads of the enemy killed by the sergeant in battle. Therefore, many soldiers of the Qin army killed all the people of the enemy country, regardless of men, women, old and young, in order to have as many heads as possible, and to take the lead for meritorious service.

In the war, many people will choose to stay in the city and stay with the city.

However, if the city is strong, the soldiers defending the city are strong, and victory is in sight, if it is a long-term siege or a broken city, the outcome is quite miserable.

The battle to defend the city was as tragic as the Battle of Suiyang in the Anshi Rebellion, Zhang Xun besieged with only 7,000 remnants against 130,000 troops, and held on for 10 months. and the women who were old and weak, who ate thirty thousand mouthfuls. "The miserable situation is unbearable!

The city was broken and slaughtered, and there are countless in history, such as the massacre of hundreds of thousands of people in Xuzhou by Cao Cao of the Three Kingdoms; For example, the Mongols slaughtered Chuan; Manchu Yangzhou 10th, Jiading three massacres......

In the war, most of the people are miserable, so many people are forced to be helpless or for other reasons, such as they like to rebel, hoping that the times will create heroes, so they "rise up" and no longer be ants at the mercy of others or slaughtered in the war.

The risk of this choice is too high, but the reward is relatively huge. It is a better choice for the people in desperation, at least there is hope.

Countless peasants have risen up in history, but unfortunately many people are not "sons of the plane", most of them are with a rebellious strongman, starting from the grass head soldiers, as long as they survive the cannon fodder period, there is basically hope of being promoted to a small leader. But it is estimated that most of them will not survive.

Secondly, it is also crucial to choose the "Ming Master", and it is difficult to escape the destruction with the wrong people, such as Huang Chao, Zhang Xianzhong, Hong Xiuquan and others.

Following Liu Bang, Liu Xiu, and Zhu Yuanzhang, the "protagonists" of the past dynasties, as long as they survive the war and don't die, they will basically have a day of reward for their merits, but it also depends on luck, in case you are Han Xin!

Of course, people can also choose to live in seclusion, such as learning from the people in the Peach Blossom Spring, and living in seclusion in unknown seclusions outside the world; Or directly immigrate overseas, such as the following Nanyang. This kind of restriction is limited by geographical location, if you are in the Central Plains or the far sea area, or if there are no mountains in the plains, it is basically impossible to avoid the scope of war.

From this point of view, thousands of years of Chinese history, war and chaos separated from life and death, I don't know how many ordinary and innocent people's blood and tears have been shed!

They can only lament angrily to the sky: "I'd rather be a peaceful dog than a chaotic person." ”

War is the foreshadowing of the era of peace, but the people during the war are not so happy, most of the people brought by the war are unfortunate, there will be uprisings at the end of each dynasty, and the common people are the most suffering representatives, so, in the Three Kingdoms period, how did the ordinary people survive?

Men living in rural areas were either dragged into the army by the three major military groups or robbed of food. So at that time, most men chose to join the army, which seemed to be the only decent way, but it was not simple to get ahead in the army, in fact, recall that most of those powerful princes and generals were also related households, either the second generation of officials or the second generation of rich, unless you are super capable like Zhuge Liang.

Of course, the people in the north are living in a more difficult situation. Cao Cao's southern and northern wars consumed a lot of people's power, and Cao Cao's "Tuntian Order" and "Land Rent Order" were born to adapt to the troubled times, and solved the problem of restoring the economy for a while, but once the economy stabilized, large households began to continue to accumulate wealth, and Tuntian became the exploitation of people's power. In other words, it would be nice if the freedom of the people of the Three Kingdoms period could reach the level of the people of North Korea today, and it was normal for ordinary people to work all day long and die tired.

Generally speaking, there is no border people who do not toss, when Jin and Wu, the people of Ba County hated forced labor, and gave birth to boys to die themselves, Wang Jun implemented the policy of giving birth to boys and exempting them from forced labor in order to preserve the survival rate of men. It is a common practice to rely on policy or plunder to compete for population on the border of the three countries, see the biographies of Zhuge Liang, Lu Xun, Sun Shao, Yanghu and others.

The way to survive is to endure it, or you will die! As the saying goes, it is better to die than to live, that is, when a man becomes an adult, he will serve as a labor force, or even a soldier. Looking at the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, I always see the story of Cao Liu Sun and my heart is surging, that is the emperor and the general's family, and we have nothing to do with (a new word just learned), what we see is the dispute of others, not the story of ordinary people like us, the story of the common people such as "The Happy Life of Poor Zhang Damin", it is still okay!!

For them to want to go out, this group of people has no choice, but it is impossible to let this group of people go out, and even if they get the seeds, what kind of consequences will be triggered, and what the result will be is still unknown! But war is like that, and who could have really predicted such an outcome?
