The Jiuding barrier is to protect the development of the human race.
In the realm of Kyushu, if it weren't for the constant melee between vassal states such as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it would have been at war for almost tens of thousands of years.
It is unknown how many people died due to the war.
After all, wars are not just caused by deaths on the battlefield.
In the era of melee, the number of people killed on the battlefield was actually not too many.
Even if there is a battle involving 100,000 people, I am afraid that not many people will actually die, only 10,000 or 20,000 at most.
After all, if a large army is really on the battlefield, the mortality rate reaches 10% to 20%, and it is estimated that it will almost collapse.
If it is the top elite, the death rate may need to be higher before they collapse.
But there are not many such elites in the entire history.
Throughout history, each dynasty only had a few teams.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Qin warriors, Wei warriors, etc. were the most powerful.
In the Three Kingdoms of the Han Dynasty, there were many elites, and of course they were famous throughout the world, such as the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry, the White Horse Yiyong, the Fallen Camp, etc.
There may be even more in the Tang Dynasty.
And those who make these elites are mostly led by famous generals, top famous generals, or top military training generals.
Take the trapped camp for example. Whether it's an unofficial history or a novel, to be honest, the main general of the trapped camp is not that famous.
But the trapped camp can be said to be the most powerful combat force under Lu Bu's command. Even Lu Bu's own Bingzhou cavalry is not necessarily inferior to Gao Shun's hundreds of trapped camp.
Gao Shun's marching and fighting may be much inferior to those famous generals in the Three Kingdoms, but in terms of military training, there are not many people in the entire Three Kingdoms, and even throughout history, who can match him.
The army trapped in the camp is extremely prominent throughout history.
An existence comparable to the special forces of later generations.
But often such a special army, although it is difficult to defeat it, is very small in number. Once it is destroyed, it is also very difficult to replicate.
As for an ordinary army, once the death rate reaches 10% to 20%, it is estimated to be like an avalanche and instantly disintegrate.
And those peasant armies may collapse faster.
This is why, in various dynasties, although the peasant army was not strong in combat power, it was like a small force that could not be defeated. Even if you defeated them again and again, they would soon appear.
The simplest one is the peasant uprising in the late Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty really couldn't be wiped out. The more people fought, the more people fought.
The imperial court was able to suppress and beat them at the beginning, and it was not an exaggeration to say that they were beaten, but in the end, the peasant army beat them more and more.
It was entirely because in a big battle, not many soldiers were killed, they all ran away, and then slowly came back again.
The further back in history, the fewer people trap and kill prisoners.
At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the officers and soldiers captured tens of thousands of peasant soldiers. It was impossible to kill them all. Some of them were released directly and then changed back.
It can be said that they are endlessly killed.
In fact, very few people died on the battlefield.
Of course, there have been many prisoners killed in history, and the further we go, the more prisoners there are. The most famous one is that Lord Wu'an of the Qin Dynasty killed 400,000 Zhao soldiers, which is extremely terrifying.
This can be regarded as the deadliest time on the battlefield in history.
Other wars rarely reach the 100,000 mark.
However, due to the war, we will not talk about other dynasties, let’s talk about the most famous Three Kingdoms period in history. The Three Kingdoms period lasted less than a hundred years in total.
Starting from Emperor Ling, the population of the Han Dynasty at that time was at least 40 million.
However, after the Sima family usurped the throne and the Three Kingdoms were unified, the population at that time was only a few million.
There is not one out of ten.
In less than a hundred years, nine-tenths of the population died in the war. Could it be that they were all killed on the battlefield.
Naturally it's impossible.
Although during the Three Kingdoms period, when wars between princes broke out and conquered a city, there would be massacres, but they were only a minority.
It would be good if even one tenth died on the battlefield, and most of the rest died of famine.
After all, once the princes go to war, there will be plunder everywhere. Today you plunder my territory, and tomorrow you plunder yours.
As a result, there is no one planting in the fields, there is no food, and the people at the bottom who are not living a good life are almost desperate.
“Thousands of villages are as cold as food, and when there are no people, there are only flowers.”
This kind of poem is not based on imagination, it must be completely experienced before writing such a tragic world.
Traveling thousands of miles away from the ground, changing children and eating food can only happen in the most desperate times.
Historically, the Three Kingdoms were in chaos for only a hundred years, and tens of millions of people died.
In today's mythical world, Kyushu has been in turmoil for tens of thousands of years, although they have not been fighting all the time for these tens of thousands of years.
But in this land of Jiuzhou, the fight between princes has never stopped.
How many people have died in tens of thousands of years of fighting?
You can imagine how many people died in the process.
If the great unification lasted for tens of thousands of years and there was peace, then the population would definitely reach a terrifying figure.
Now that the Qin Dynasty dominates the world, it only has a population of tens to tens of billions. This population is not even comparable to that in ancient times.
The life of the human race at that time was extremely difficult, but there was still a very large population. At that time, there was not much competition within the human race.
The biggest rivalry was the battle between the Human Emperor Xuanyuan and Chi You.
As for the rest, the dynastic war that started the family world began.
Continuous internal friction is also the reason why the human race cannot increase in numbers. There are gods and Buddhas all over the sky plotting behind it.
After all, the number of humans has really reached a certain level, and even ant-like mortals are still a very powerful force.
The gods and Buddhas in the sky naturally don't want to see this situation. After all, once the human race's strength increases enough to fight against them, will they still surrender obediently?
Of course, the Yin Shang rebelled against heaven, which was not only the interception of religion, but the Yin Shang's rebellion against heaven, which was also the reason for the ultimate defeat of the Yin Shang.
After all, the gods and Buddhas in the sky were destined to be unwilling to make the choice of the Yin Shang.
This is also the reason why Jiejiao at that time was against other great religions.
At that time, there was a struggle between the disciples of Jiejiao and Chanjiao, and there were even other immortals and gods appearing, the most famous one being Taoist Lu Ya.
Putting aside Taoist Lu Ya's skills, at least this person's cultivation level is not worse than that of Ran Deng, and is even a bit higher.
That was a powerful person at the quasi-sage level, he must be an innate saint, maybe one of the Zixiao Guests, maybe.
Coupled with the later emergence of Western religion.
It can be seen that the gods and Buddhas all over the sky at that time were not satisfied with the Yin Shang Dynasty.
Later, the human dynasties continued to have civil wars, all with gods and Buddhas all over the sky secretly instigating them.
Zhuanxu, one of the Five Emperors, had unparalleled access to heaven and earth. In fact, he wanted to reduce the influence of the gods in heaven on the human world.
If the human race does not have a civil war, its absolute strength will increase to an extremely strong level.
