Chapter 163: Disaster
Boom, another burst of thunder. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhang Liao was completely sleepy, jumped off the couch at once, didn't care about lighting the lamp, fumbled and pulled his clothes and put them on, and took a few steps to open the window.
Call! A cold wind blew, making Zhang Liao shiver.
He looked out the window, and saw that the bright moon in the night sky had disappeared at some point, and it was gloomy, and a lightning bolt suddenly cut through the sky like a sharp sword, and the night was like day, piercing his eyes.
This was followed by a huge thunderstorm, rolling in, incessantly, and the whole earth trembled.
After the sting, this is the first spring thunder, and it will also usher in the first spring rain.
"Big brother." Zhang Jian, who lived in the outhouse, heard the sound of Zhang Liao getting up and shouted.
"Sanzi, what time is it?" Zhang Liao's voice was solemn.
Zhang Jian lit the lamp and went to see the hourglass: "Big brother, it's still Yinshi, and there are still two hours before dawn." ”
Zhang Liao said in a deep voice: "Quickly gather the personal guards, quickly whip the horses, and send orders to the orders and Cheng of the three counties of Michi, Xin'an, and Hongnong, and have ranks, wanderers, and pavilion chiefs, and order them to come to see me quickly!" ”
Zhang Jian has been running around with Zhang Liao for the past few days, and he is also very tired, and he is still a little confused when he sleeps: "Big brother, in the middle of the night, it will rain outside again, I am afraid it will be difficult to ......gather at this time."
"Herald!" Zhang Liao said categorically: "Before dawn, I want to see them here, and if I can't come, I will never have to come over." ”
"Yes!" Zhang Jian listened to Zhang Liao's stern voice, and when he was drowsy, he took the order and hurriedly went out to gather the guards.
After Zhang Jian went out, Zhang Liao looked at the cold wind blowing outside the window, couldn't help but scream, and punched the window lattice, looking angry!
He didn't expect that the first spring rain of the first year of Chuping would come at this time!
Good rain knows the season, when spring is happening, a spring rain is as expensive as oil, for farming, this is a timely rain, the sky rains, indicating a harvest year.
But this spring rain will be a huge disaster for the hundreds of thousands of people who have migrated!
Hundreds of thousands of people have migrated, most of them are already on their way, stretching for hundreds of miles, and they also sleep in tents or in the open air at night, when most of them are already raining, and the roads are muddy, making it even more difficult to walk.
But muddy roads are a small thing, and the disasters brought by this spring rain are more than that!
One of the disasters it brings is disease!
The spring cold is not just talking, the weather is not warm at this time, the cold rain on the way to the migration is soaked heavy clothes, for the tired people who travel far away are most likely to catch a cold and get sick, even strong men are difficult to bear, not to mention that there are so many old people, children and pregnant women, once they get sick, they will have to worry about their lives, and may even bring the plague, which is a catastrophe!
In addition to disease, the second calamity is food!
Migrants bring their own food, and once the food is damp in the rain, it will become moldy and spoiled, making it inedible. This is no less threatening than a disease to most of the people, just because these people have moved away from their homeland, they have already lost their fields, and after moving to the new land, most of them are hindered by local forces, and the fields may not be able to be distributed immediately.
It is this spring rain that is not only not a rain for them, but a disaster.
In addition, it will be accompanied by huge losses, such as books, once the books are rained, the handwriting will be blurry and difficult to read, which can not but be said to be a loss for cultural inheritance.
There is also a disaster, but for Zhang Liao's own, the migration delayed the trip, he had already extended the time of the migration, and Dong Zhuo reluctantly agreed to him for half a month, if there was any further delay, Dong Zhuo would inevitably blame him, not to mention that Dong Huang was behind his back, plus he captured Liu Huan, the captain of Sili, and it would also be a crisis at that time.
Thunderclap!
Another bolt of lightning crossed the night sky, shining on Zhang Liao's gloomy face, he was very indignant in his heart, he had arranged so much, exhausted his mental strength, only when the people could move smoothly, but in the end he couldn't withstand a cold rain.
Zhang Liao still remembers that he had read a passage in his previous life, in the course of thousands of years in China, the climate was not static, thousands of years by several cold periods and warm periods alternately, the end of the Han Dynasty and the end of the Ming Dynasty seemed to be in the cold period.
Regardless of the end of the Ming Dynasty, the end of the Han Dynasty was recorded, the weather was cold, and it was still common to plant oranges in the south of Luoyang during the time of Emperor Wu, while Cao Cao planted oranges in Tongquetai, but only flowered but did not bear fruit. At the time of the Three Kingdoms, there was a year when the Huai River froze, which was the only time in history.
The cold climate period not only stops at the severe cold weather, but also the period of high incidence of various natural disasters, especially in the late Han Dynasty for decades, drought, waterlogging, locust plague, earthquake, frost, wind, plague repeatedly broke out, as many as dozens or hundreds of times, these disasters are absolutely devastating disasters for the economy dominated by agriculture.
During the fifteen years of Emperor Ling's reign, the great plague occurred as many as five times, and it was also on the eve of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which caused the people to live poorly, and the people were disappointed in God, so Zhang Jiao shouted "The sky is dead, and the yellow sky should stand", and instantly gathered millions of people to join the rebellion, and the epidemic and the soldiers, the whole world was in danger.
However, since the Eastern Han Dynasty, the prevailing doctrine of heaven and man induction, that the will of heaven and the sympathy of personnel correspond, heaven can affect personnel, foreshadow disasters, human behavior can also sense heaven, and the son of heaven violates the will of heaven, unkind and unjust, heaven will appear disaster to condemn and warn, if the government is harmonious, heaven will send auspicious rui to encourage.
In this way, a direct phenomenon brought about by frequent natural disasters is that the three princes have changed their generals, and one by one their buttocks have not been hot due to disasters, and at the same time, it has also made the scholars who respect the induction of heaven and man gradually centrifuge from the Son of Heaven, and also have doubts about the theory of induction of heaven and man.
The traditional Confucian spirit has disappeared invisibly, the social atmosphere has changed from positive and enterprising to confused and decadent, coupled with frequent wars and chaos, and more and more celebrities have chosen rebellion in pain and confusion.
They are either dissolute, or wantonly pretending, or passively avoiding the world, so there is the so-called Wei and Jin Dynasty romance, go to the scarf, take off clothes, show ugliness, the same beasts, and even some celebrities pursue feminine appearance, apply grease and powder, and serve women's clothes, which can be described as deformed everywhere.
The reason for the Wuhu rebellion is not only the rise of the Hu people, but also because the Han people are confused and negative, otherwise they will experience wars and greatly reduce the population, but they will not have no resistance and let the fish and meat be slaughtered.
Zhang Liao came from later generations, so he naturally saw this more clearly than the people of the time. The harsh climate, the large-scale occurrence of famine, the chaos of the dynasty, the demise of the celestial and human induction science, and the confusion and degeneration of the scholars led to the disaster of the Han family for hundreds of years.
Could it be that human beings sometimes do their best, and it is difficult to do it?
