The luck of the Yuan Dynasty was much better. They got the fourth warm period gift package, so the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty was able to last for hundreds of years.
Zhu Baba was also very lucky. He was still in the warm period when he was alive.
Zhu Di's luck was not good, because he was still in the warm period when he was alive, which led him to arrogantly believe that Yanjing can shoulder the heavy responsibility of the capital. It is a pity that in the hands of his descendants, a new cold period began. The food production in the north became less and less, and the entire capital could only rely entirely on water transportation from the south.
But the distance to the south was still too far, and the court could not stretch its hand that far. The entire officialdom in the south could even operate on its own. With collusion between officials and businessmen, the Ming Dynasty simply could not obtain enough income from the south, so much so that Emperor Wanli had to They sent a large number of eunuchs to the south to collect business taxes, but they were driven back by the southerners, leaving no one behind.
In desperation, in order to survive, the Ming court could only continue to exploit the north. However, the climate in the north was becoming harsh and it was difficult for farmers to survive. So naturally, large-scale peasant uprisings occurred, which eventually led to the collapse of the entire Ming Dynasty. The demise of the Ice Age, which is also the Little Ice Age mentioned on many Internet sites, is actually the fourth cold period.
This fourth cold period actually lasted for a very long time, so much so that the Qing Dynasty basically relied on water transportation from the south to survive, and people in the north lived a very hard life.
However, one thing about the Qing Dynasty was better off, that is, they obtained the artifact of sweet potato, so they stumbled and continued for 300 years. However, until their demise, they were still in the fourth cold period.
It was not until the beginning of the 21st century that the fourth cold period gradually came to an end, and we will usher in the fifth warm period. This is why it has become hotter year by year in recent years.
So comrades, this year is not too hot yet, and hotter days are yet to come, until the entire north becomes as hot as the current south!

Closer to home, although Wei Zhonghua calculated a rough climate change model, he obviously could not predict what would happen next, so what he was more interested in was actually when the second warm period and the second cold period alternated, and this time was from Han Dynasty It started during the reign of Emperor Xuan.
So Wei Zhonghua began to re-study the general history of the Western Han Dynasty during the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. Although Wei Zhonghua had also studied it before, he only quickly looked up climate-related information and had no interest at all in dynasty changes, wise kings and good ministers.
But when he began to carefully study the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty, he was surprised to find that Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty himself was actually much more interesting than the climate.
Because this is a true story of a death row prisoner becoming an emperor.
The grandfather of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was called Liu Zhi, and Liu Zheng's father was Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Liu Zhi's mother was Wei Zifu, and his uncle was Wei Qing. Wei Qing also had a nephew named Huo Qubing, and Huo Qubing had a younger brother named Huo Guang.
Because Liu Zheng was the legitimate prince and his mother's family was so powerful, Liu Zheng's position as prince was extremely stable. However, due to various conspiracies and calculations in the later period, Liu Zheng and his entire family were killed, and the only one who survived was There was only one grandson named Liu Xun, who was imprisoned in the sky prison and almost died under the order of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.
If the warden hadn't risked his life to save him, he would have been killed by the sword. But in the end, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty probably regretted killing Liu Zhi, so in the end he not only let Liu Xun go, but also added Liu Xun to the clan and recognized his bloodline and identity.
Liu Xun's start can be described as "The Boy Who Lived"
What follows is a life of counterattack for this boy.
Wei Zhonghua meticulously read all the contents about Liu Xun in "General History of the Western Han Dynasty", and it was not enough to read it once, so he read it four or five times.
But this made Wei Zhonghua feel that he did not know Liu Xun well enough, so he began to read the biographies of other famous officials and ministers during the period of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in "General History of the Western Han Dynasty" to understand the story of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty from the side.
It doesn't matter if you don't read the results. After seeing it, Wei Zhonghua became even more obsessed with the charm of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty. At the same time, Wei Zhonghua was surprised to find that although the stories of other officials and ministers of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty were written according to their respective biographies, each one Every story in the biography can be verified.
The story that happened in one person's biography can often be seen in the biographies of two or three other people involved in the matter. After a few cursory readings, Wei Zhonghua couldn't find anything wrong.
Wei Zhonghua felt that it was very nonsense. In fact, astronomy was relatively easy to say. As long as a few basic data were determined, it would be possible to compile a complete set of astronomical observation data.
But it would be too incredible to come up with a set of perfect history books like this, where everyone's biographies can be corroborated with each other.
So Wei Zhonghua decided to give full play to his strengths and began to build a mathematical model. At the same time, he put the stories and time points of each person into this model for verification, and then found that no matter the time of the story, the characters, and subsequent development, etc. , everything is intertwined, everything verifies each other, it is like a dozen cotton threads squeezed together, each cotton thread can be taken out independently, without any cotton thread, there will be a state of entanglement with each other, it is simply Outrageous.
After completing these studies, Wei Zhonghua found that his love for the character of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty was even higher, so he began to search for more information about Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty on the Internet, but he did not find anything related to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty on the Internet. The only thing I can find is the original text that mentions Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty in the General History of the Western Han Dynasty.
This makes Wei Zhonghua feel a little unwilling. Since there are no related fan works on the Internet, there will always be people in the readership of Yuanshi Tianwang who pay attention to Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty!
So Wei Zhonghua, who had never joined any group, took the initiative to join the reader group of "Group 89 of the Yuanshi Tianwang Research Working Group" for the first time.
There are already 1,142 readers in this group of 2,000, and most of them are living people. There are a large number of chat records every minute.
When Wei Zhonghua joined the group, he found that the emperors of the Han Dynasty were being discussed in the group. The group members were arguing about which emperor of the Han Dynasty was the most wise and powerful.
In other words, they were arguing about who was the strongest emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bang or Liu Xiu.
A large number of people said that Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was definitely the strongest, but more people thought that Liu Xiu was the strongest. At this time, more than a month has passed since the meteorite incident, and the plot of Han Guangwu has advanced to the plot of Liu Xiu's marriage.
In this plot, Liu Xiu finally achieved one of his life goals, which is to marry Yin Lihua, which is nothing in itself.
But just in the previous chapter, Liu Xiu's brother, Liu Yan, the super hero who made it his mission to revive the Han Dynasty, died in the infighting of the Green Forest Army that he single-handedly promoted. The emperor who was supported by the Green Forest Army Liu Xuan was killed. It stands to reason that Liu Xiu, who single-handedly directed the Kunyang War at this time and was famous throughout the world, should immediately lead his troops back to avenge his brother.
But Liu Xiu went back to apologize to Liu Xuan alone. He admitted his mistake with great sincerity and knelt in front of Liu Xuan for several days. At the same time, he also cursed his brother as a bastard in front of the civil and military officials of the court. He should be beheaded, which made Liu Xuan feel embarrassed to kill Liu Xiu.
After all, Liu Xuan did not win the throne by himself. He still had to care about other people's opinions, so Liu Xuan promoted Liu Xiu's official position, gave Liu Xiu a high official and generous salary, and kept him by his side. Give him the opportunity to go out and lead troops.
Liu Xiude took the opportunity to propose to marry Yin Lihua and hold a grand wedding.
Liu Xuan was overjoyed when he learned about this and immediately approved it.
You know, the Han Dynasty attached great importance to filial piety and brotherhood. If the parents are dead, then the eldest brother is the father. As a result, now that my brother is dead, as a younger brother, even if he doesn't pay filial piety to his brother, he should still be stable for a few years. As a result, he will marry himself a wife in a few days. This completely goes against the social ethics of the time and is criticized by many people. Scorned, Liu Xiu's hard-earned reputation was all ruined.
This made Liu Xuan completely put down his guard against Liu Xiu, and Liu Xiu finally had the opportunity to seize freedom.
Although this plot is sad, it also fully demonstrates Liu Xiu's personal wisdom and perseverance. Although everyone in the story despises Liu Xiu, readers are full of praise for Liu Xiu. Coupled with the previous victory in the Kunyang War, so Many people believed that Liu Xiu was a wiser emperor than Liu Bang.
This made Liu Bang's fans in the group very dissatisfied, so the two sides started a debate.
One of Liu Bang’s fans said
"Liu Bang, the great ancestor of the Han Dynasty, started his career as a commoner, but Liu Xiu relied on Liu Bang's reputation and was not considered a hero."
"But Liu Bang has parents after all, but Liu Xiu doesn't!"
"I, the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, was wise and mighty, and I had the Peixian Heavenly Group by my side, but Liu Xiu had nothing by his side, so he was not a hero!"
"Yes, but if Liu Xiu can conquer the world without the Peixian Heavenly Group by his side, does that mean Liu Xiu is more powerful?"
"My Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty was extremely intelligent and never suffered losses. He was the only one who cheated others. No one cheated him. Liu Xiu was cheated several times. He was not smart at all."
"But Liu Xiu was tricked so many times and finally became the emperor. Wouldn't that be even more powerful?"
"F*ck!" Liu Bang's fans were anxious. "I, Liu Bang, are so shameless. I can't compare to your Liu Xiu!"
"Our Liu Xiu doesn't even want his own brother!"
"Our Liu Bang doesn't even want his own father! He wants to eat a piece of his father's meat!"
"..." Liu Xiu's fans fell silent immediately, and finally expressed their resignation.
It was in such a lively situation that a newcomer asked weakly, "Excuse me, do you know the story of Liu Xun, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty?"
