Chapter 510 The Year of No Summer

According to legend, the Deathly Hallows are three items obtained by the Peverier brothers from the **** of death. However, according to the information left by Albus Dumbledore, these three items were made by humans, and they are all amazing. The magical items created by the talents are also different from ordinary people, and they can still be used today.

  But owning them does not mean becoming the master of death, and the legend is not always correct.

  However, the story is not all false. The heroine Dou E in the story of Dou E's Injustice does not exist. Her prototype is Zhou Qing, a filial wife of the East China Sea.

Her husband died very early and she had no son, but she was a kind woman. She was filial to her mother-in-law and was very thoughtful. Her mother-in-law didn’t want to drag her down and hanged herself. The officials caught her in jail and beaten her into a trick. She was eventually killed by the prefect. Before she was sentenced, she made three vows. If it was an unjust killing, the blood will flow back, the snow in June, and the drought for three years. The consequences of her killing were fulfilled one by one, so the Chinese compared the snow in June to the wrongdoing.

  The sixth month of the lunar calendar is in the midsummer, and it would have been impossible to snow. However, such a climate does exist in Chinese history, and it does not refer to the place where the "Dou E's injustice" story occurred.

  According to "Liao History" records, in the midsummer of 939, it snowed in the southeastern part of Inner Mongolia in July. In the winter of 939, in the area of ​​Kaifeng, near the capital of the Later Jin Dynasty, "heavy snow hurts the people, and it hasn't stopped for five days."

  The Elgar volcano erupted in Iceland in 934 AD. The scale of this volcanic eruption is very large, the amount of sulfur dioxide and other gases emitted from the surface is very large, and the eruption lasts for a long time, ranging from three to eight years.

  After a large-scale eruption of a volcano, its eruption column will enter the stratosphere, which is beyond the altitude of the aircraft's cruise.

  It stays in the stratosphere, and then the solar radiation will be scattered or reflected off by volcanic ash and some of its derivatives, the sunlight reaching the ground will be less, and the ground will become colder.

  Volcanic eruptions can cause abnormal climate, and the relationship between it and precipitation is relatively complicated. However, many studies have shown that in Chinese history, most large-scale volcanic eruptions were followed by droughts.

Zhang Tao sponsored an Antarctic scientific expedition team to sample and analyze ice cores. After a volcanic eruption, volcanic ash enters the atmosphere, and its acidic gas will turn into acidic droplets. As precipitation falls to the ground, it descends to the polar regions. Above these ice layers. After this, the acidity of the ice layer was particularly high that year. A sequence of past volcanic eruptions can be obtained by measuring the acidity of the ice layer year by year.

  The temperature dropped after the volcanic eruption in Iceland in 934. From 942 to 943, China also experienced severe droughts and locust plagues, and later famines.

   After a severe drought, locust plagues are prone to occur. The farming people are most afraid of these natural disasters. After experiencing these natural disasters, the later Jin’s national strength has been severely hit. After the decline of the Later Jin Dynasty, the Khitan took the opportunity to invade the Later Jin Dynasty, which perished in 947, only three years from this famine.

  However, it was not the Khitans who occupied the Central Plains after the Later Jin Dynasty, but the Mongols. Guan Hanqing was a native of the Yuan Dynasty. He was in a time when the government was corrupted and imprisoned. The relationship between heaven and man is an important issue in ancient Chinese thought, system and culture. The function of "heaven" is to reduce disasters and warn the world, and second is to auspicious and reward the world.

In the period of Wu Zetian, the cool officials liked to falsely report some auspicious auspiciousness to make Wu Zetian happy. The abnormal climate of June Feixue reflected "the justice of heaven". Literati such as Guan Hanqing adapted Zhou Qing's story into the drama of Dou E's injustice. , Widely circulated in the north and south, promoted the enthusiasm of the people against the yuan, and indirectly promoted historical development.

  Many of the stories recorded by literati are artistically processed, and are not inconsistent with the original historical facts. The story of the magical brush Ma Liang is a fairy tale just like the three Peverier brothers. No one believes it in China, but not necessarily in Britain.

  The old wand, the resurrection stone, and the invisibility cloak have all appeared, and the family history of Harry Potter can be traced back to the Peverier family. Why can't Ma Liang be a true historical figure?

  Ma Yourong claimed to be a native of Henan. Guanzhong was the capital area before the Song Dynasty. After the Song Dynasty, it gradually moved north. It was not until the Ming and Qing Dynasties that the capital was set in Beijing. The story of the magic pen Ma Liang probably happened in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. There is also a plot of Ma Liang assassinating the emperor in the circulated story. Zhang Tao told Pomona that only Ma Liang killed the county magistrate.

The cold can keep people's minds sober. The emperor guards the gate of the country and the king died. When Li Zicheng was approaching the city, Emperor Chongzhen proposed to move south three times, but he was blocked by the ministers. When Li Zicheng broke the city gate, all these civil and military officials were scattered. .

  Finally, Chongzhen said before his death: "I am not the king of the subjugated country, and the ministers are all the ministers of the subjugated country."

  Historically, the backwardness of the Ming and Qing dynasties was attributed to seclusion. At that time, Europe was struggling with the black plague and was overwhelmed. There really was nothing to teach the Chinese.

  Usually historians will tell people that it was the Khitan invasion that caused the demise of the later Jin Dynasty.

The study of volcanic eruptions also provides a new perspective for the interpretation of some historical events. The volcanic eruption in 536 AD had a serious impact on the Eastern Roman Empire. This is a new perspective in history. Although it has not yet reached a conclusion, it It has begun to take shape, which is very different from traditional history, because history sometimes serves politics.

Qin Shihuang was written as a brutal tyrant by historians. Later historians were rich in Confucian families. Confucianism advocated the system of enfeoffment, which once again entrusted the world of Qin to the monarchy, and the rites and music advocated by Confucianism were seen by legalists It is useless to come. How to live without the "entertainment" of music and dance?

  The news of Qin Shihuang’s violent death after returning from patrolling the sand dunes spread throughout the country. At that time, in the summer, Hu Hai stuffed abalone in the car to cover up the stench of the corpse’s corruption.

  In July of the same year, Chen Sheng and Wu Guangda Zexiang uprised. After the founding of the Han Dynasty, Confucianism was not used. Liu Bang used Huang Lao.

When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty banned a hundred schools of Confucianism when he was young, the greatest enemy of Confucian students at the time was Huang Lao represented by the Empress Dowager Dou Yifang and the School of Legalism. The Legalism quickly transformed Qin from a weak country into a strong one. It has been certified in practice, but Dong Zhongshu and others used the idea of ​​revenge to instigate young people to "pull the barbarians". The temperature in the Han Dynasty was much colder than it is now. It can be seen from the clothing of the Han Dynasty that the temperature was low and wearing two more clothes would not Feeling hot, the Tang Dynasty is much warmer, and the clothes are lighter and lighter.

  The cattle and sheep of the nomads are very susceptible to freezing damage. The Xiongnu looted the Han people because of the weather, and there was nothing to eat but the looting of the Han people.

  The Turkic war of annihilation was also affected by freezing damage. After the Yinshan War, if they did not obey the arrangements of the Tang people and migrated within the Great Wall, then the Turks affected by the freezing damage would have their stomachs hungry.

Once the Yellowstone volcano erupts, even if China will not be covered by volcanic ash, the water cycle caused by the global cooling will also cause drought. Even if there is enough food to feed themselves, the refugees who arrive immediately will pose a huge burden and people will be extremely hungry. Anything can be done, as long as there is food, even in the bitter cold of Alaska, people who have survived the catastrophe will settle down, and everyone can calm down before thinking about other issues.

  Civilization is very fragile. Everything that seems indestructible will be wiped out in natural and man-made disasters. The largest city, Tang Changan, a thousand years ago, has disappeared. Who would believe that such a magnificent city will disappear.

  The Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty spent so many years of time and money to beat the Xiongnu and still failed to completely disintegrate the will of the Xiongnu. On the contrary, it was the Xiongnu of the Han Emperor Xuan who really succumbed.

  Use the smallest war cost to obtain the largest strategic goal, and save money in war.

Whether it's Wei Qing or Huo Qubing, the big Huns used a roundabout tactic, that is, carrying soldiers and horses around in the desert, hoping to meet the main force of the Huns. The Han army's intelligence and reconnaissance work seems to have not been done well, so why not have one? The courtier reminded him?

By the time of the Tang Dynasty silently sipping the Khan, he obtained the six states of Hequ because of the suppression of the Khitan Rebellion, and borrowed seeds, farm tools and pig iron from the Wu Zhou court. From then on, the Turkic tribes no longer lived as pure nomads, but began to make half a living. The farming and semi-nomadic life, with a stable food supply, quietly almost restored the Turkic kingdom, which had been almost integrated into the Tang people, after that, the post-Turkic Khanate became another major trouble on the border of the Tang Empire after Goguryeo.

Tang poetry is very beautiful, and Pomona also likes Tang poetry, but officials in the Tang Dynasty put too much energy on poems, and the Song Dynasty is also the case, officials left a lot of Song poetry, during the Southern Song Dynasty anti-jin, Yue Fei fought in the north, officials But drinking with prostitutes in the Qinhuai River, energy and money are useless.

The Song Dynasty was in the third Little Ice Age in five thousand years. Even the Jianghuai area was full of icy cold weather. Taihu Lake was completely frozen. During the Jingkang period, people in Bianjing also froze to death, not to mention the Jinren territory further north. , The Jinren went south to looting, and thus had the difficulty of Jingkang.

The cold can make people's mind sober, and the harsh environment is full of wildness and aggressiveness like external factors. Once this external factor is lost, no aggressive nomads themselves will begin to live comfortably in the Hanlands of the Central Plains, just like Worms exist in the social system as well.

   "What are you looking at?" The Potions Professor in his pajamas ran to the kitchen for breakfast.

   "Article written by Zhang." Pomona shook the paper in Severus's hand. "He doesn't seem to be a traditional historian. He studies the influence of volcanoes and climate on history."

"how do you feel?"

  "He wrote the history of China. Even in the era of wars like the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, their history has not been dated, and our history in the Middle Ages is nowhere to be found."

   "That's why it's ‘dark’." Severus said with a sarcastically smile.

  Pomona looked at the black wizard in front of her. Not only the Muggle, but even the wizard believed that the black wizard aggravated the contradiction between the wizard and the Muggle, but is this really the case?

   "It's a pity." Pomona put down the manuscript in her hand and continued to frown with him.

  I am afraid that only she, a "foreigner", has seen what Zhang wrote. Isn't it a pity?
