Chapter 247: Empress Dowager Xiao of Daliao

"When Deng Sui was in power, there were frequent disasters for ten years, but Deng Sui survived and let the Eastern Han Dynasty go on smoothly."

"For example, in the first year of Deng Sui's reign, he encountered a major flood caused by four dead stones hitting the earth at the same time, which is said to have flooded 78 counties at that time, and a major earthquake for 13 consecutive years, affecting hundreds of counties."

"There are also nine major states with a large locust plague at the same time, hungry displaced people eat people everywhere, and the water in the entire east of the river has turned blood-red, and this disaster has claimed the lives of nearly five million people."

"In order to let everyone intuitively feel how serious the natural disaster was at that time, I found some historical information, the information is not easy to find, I only checked some data, it must be incomplete, everyone just has the right to take a look."

Carefree said as he released the records.

She was afraid that someone would not be able to see it clearly, so she read it while putting it back: "In the sixth year of Yongchu, there were 42 earthquakes in Kyoto and the county, or the ground cracked, gushing water, and corrupting the city and dwellings, and the earthquakes at this stage in the Han Dynasty were very frequent, and there were 26 earthquakes in the 19th year of the Han Emperor period, and an average of one earthquake occurred every nine months. ”

"Maybe it's because of the frequent earthquakes that Zhang Heng created a seismograph."

"Then there is the flood, the obscene rain continues, the damage to the crops is a major feature of the flood, the autumn of the fourth year of the early Yuan Dynasty, the county ten lewd rain damage crops, the first year of Yongning, the thirty-three lewd rain damage of the county, the first year of Jianguang, Kyoto and the county twenty-nine lewd rain damage crops, the first year of Emperor Han An's succession to the throne is the great water of the six states, and the second year is the great water of Luoyang and the forty counties."

"In addition to earthquakes and floods, there are also droughts."

"Yes, it's a drought, and look, it's either a flood or a drought, how can the crops grow well."

"From the first year of Yongchu to the third year of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, there was a drought for ten consecutive years."

"Along with the drought, there was also a locust plague, in the fifth year of Yongchu, the great locust in Kyushu, and in the seventh year of Yongchu, locust plagues occurred again in many counties."

"Droughts, floods, locusts, and earthquakes are not over, but there are also wind disasters and hailstorms."

"In the second year of Yongchu, the wind of Jingshi and the forty counties uprooted the trees and the houses, and in the sixth year of the early Yuan Dynasty, the wind of Peiguo and Bohai pulled out more than 30,000 trees."

"In June of the fourth year of the first year of the Yuan Dynasty, there were three hailstorms in the county, as big as a cup and chickens, killing six animals, and in the third year of Yongchu, the rain and hail were as big as geese, hurting the crops, and there was a great hunger in the two states of Liang, and people were cannibalistic."

"In addition to natural disasters, there are man-made disasters, when the Southern Xiongnu heard about it, they thought that the Han people were dead, so they united Wuhuan and Xianbei to invade."

Hearing this, many people in the Eastern Han Dynasty couldn't stop crying.

Before Deng Sui came to power, the people were worried that they would not be able to live in the future, and they were also worried about their descendants, when they were old, they would die, but what should they do with their children and grandchildren?

And when Deng Sui was in power, the people were a little out of breath when they heard that they would be trapped in natural disasters for more than ten years.

What can I do?

Is there only one dead end?

Many people knelt on the ground and snorted: "Ask the fairy to show me a way to live, ask the fairy to have mercy, save me, etc." ”

Worry-free continued: "At this time, the ministers did not say that they would find a way to relieve the disaster and find a way to repel the enemy, but instead blamed Deng Sui, saying that it was because of the imbalance between yin and yang caused by women in power, so natural and man-made disasters continued. ”

"What did Deng Sui do at that time?"

"She didn't tolerate these people, she lost her temper and killed the person who accused her."

"In extraordinary times, use extraordinary methods, and use heavy punishment in troubled times, Deng Sui is very right in this regard, she is both rigid and soft, and she can take it lightly in small things, but in major matters, she is by no means ambiguous, killing the minister is to make the court no longer so messy, and it is also to show her prestige, so as to deter the ministers of the court."

"After that, Deng Sui sent troops to quell the rebellion, and it only took a year to defeat the enemy."

"She took the lead in frugality, and sent people to build water conservancy, open warehouses for disaster relief, no matter how many difficulties there were, she actively tried to overcome them, and never put them in a bad position."

"It is precisely because of Deng Sui's tough spirit, but also because she pitied the people, every time she heard that there was a disaster, she couldn't sleep all night, saved everywhere, took the lead in cutting food and clothing, and used the saved money and food to relieve the people, and she also did her best to manage the government, so that the Eastern Han Dynasty survived the more than ten years, walked out of the shadow of the disaster, restored peace, and got a bumper harvest."

"Under the governance of Deng Sui, the economy of the Eastern Han Dynasty has recovered from many years of natural disasters, and the society has also been stabilized.

Carefree said a lot in one go.

Under the canopy, many people have begun to bow.

"Lord Ming, the Queen Mother Chitose ......"

And in the emperor's chat group, there was also silence.

After a long time, the First Emperor said: "Sure enough, women are no worse than men, but they don't have the opportunity to show them." ”

He was now already looking forward to whether Lu Pheasant could surprise him.

And Liu Bang laughed a few times: "Two days ago, Lao Zhu also ridiculed my Han people, saying that the Han relatives were in trouble, and he didn't look at it, although my Han said that he had relatives, but there were also such powerful queen mothers, if there were no them, I am afraid that my Han world would not reach four hundred years." ”

And Emperor Han He whispered: "The queen I chose is powerful, and she really didn't see the wrong person." ”

And Wu Wu sneered at this time: "Heh, the emperors of the Han Dynasty are as mean and unkind as their ancestors, Deng Sui restrained his family before his death, and did not cause disasters to his relatives, but after her death, the emperor of the Lao Liu family still did not let go of the Deng family, and I don't know if Deng Sui will be angry after he knows it......

After hearing this, Lu Pheasant also sneered: "Sure enough, the surname Liu is so unkind." ”

Han Xin also sneered: "It's really not kind. ”

Liu Bang coughed dryly: "Isn't this prevention before it happens, it's all for the world, for the people of the world......"

But when it came out of his mouth, no one would believe it.

Wu Wu picked up the water cup and drank half a glass of water to moisten his throat.

"Okay, let's talk next, we have talked about the Empress of Heaven in the Tang Dynasty, and we will not talk about it here, and we have also mentioned Liu E and the Empress Dowager Liu in the Song Dynasty, and we will not repeat it, let's talk about another female politician in the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, Xiao Xuan, the Empress Dowager of Liao, who is a contemporary of Zhao Yiguang, and it is precisely because of her that Zhao Yiguang was defeated, and it was also at her signal that Song Liao signed the alliance of Yuanyuan, and since then, Song has given Liao a ...... of coins every year."

"This Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State has brought the Liao State to its peak, and what kind of legendary experience does she have? Let's talk about Empress Dowager Xiao Yanyan next. ”

Speaking of Empress Dowager Xiao, Zhao Guangyi was so angry that he gritted his teeth: "Xiao Yanyan, you ......"

There are a lot of curses underneath, which are really unsightly.
