In this episode, Lucas and Luna delve into the devastating Great Famine that struck late Ming China, exploring how the Little Ice Age, locust plagues, and bureaucratic collapse conspired to create a catastrophe that killed millions and hastened the dynasty's fall. They examine the role of the Wanli and Chongzhen emperors, the failure of the tribute grain system, and the dramatic survival strategies of ordinary people, including cannibalism. The conversation also touches on the famine's connection to the rise of rebel leader Li Zicheng and the eventual Ming-Qing transition. Specific details include the effects of extreme weather on the Grand Canal, the corruption of eunuch granaries, and the eyewitness accounts of scholar Song Yingxing and Jesuit missionaries. A compelling look at how climate and governance intertwined to shape history. #MingDynasty #GreatFamine #LittleIceAge #ClimateHistory #WanliEmperor #ChongzhenEmperor #LiZicheng #SongYingxing #GrandCanal #LocustPlagues #EunuchGranaries #JesuitMissionaries #Shanxi #Henan #Shaanxi #Cannibalism #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
