? How cold was the "Little Ice Age of Ming and Qing Dynasties" and what was its impact?

Are you online? Little Ice Age in Ming and Qing Dynasties? At that time, Poyang Lake and Dongting Lake in the south were frozen, and the temperature reached MINUS 40 degrees Celsius. Because of the cold, peasant uprisings, riots and famine spread everywhere, which shook the rule of the Ming Dynasty. Although the Ming Dynasty finally perished in the Qing Dynasty, it was indeed the peasant rebels who forced Emperor Chongzhen to kill his wife and hang himself before entering the Forbidden City. At that time, the Qing dynasty was still in the late Jin dynasty, and the army was eyeing the border, but it could not break through the front line of the Ming dynasty.

The most direct reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was the peasant rebels all over the country. Although the Ming Dynasty fell into the hands of the people, Emperor Chongzhen was very diligent and loved the people, but because of the extremely cold climate at that time, a large number of farmers who lived on land starved to death. At the same time, successive disasters came, causing farmers to resist for survival.

At that time, there were various disasters in the Ming Dynasty, but the disaster with the highest frequency was drought. Because of the drought, the crops and fields at that time died, and countless farmers starved to death, but? Little Ice Age? It also spanned the whole Ming and Qing dynasties. Because of the cold, the peasants were forced to rebel, and the disaster existed before Emperor Chongzhen succeeded to the throne.

Although Emperor Chongzhen is diligent and loves the people, farmers who depend on the weather will starve to death because they have no food to eat, and they will starve to death if they don't rebel. Therefore, when Emperor Chongzhen tried to solve the problem of famine, peasant rebels emerged all over the country, which eventually led to the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the fundamental reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty is that it is difficult to go back to the past, the demise of the Ming Dynasty is also closely related to the extremely cold weather. If there were no peasant rebels at that time, it is also a question whether the Qing Dynasty could break through the Ningyuan defense line of the Ming Dynasty.
