Due to the relative backwardness of ancient science and technology, for natural disasters such as earthquakes and typhoons, we cannot understand their principles, and can only be attributed to the anger and punishment of heaven. Whenever a great disaster occurred in the world, resulting in the displacement of the people, the emperor would actively or passively carry the pot and issue his own edict, hoping to pray for the favor of heaven and the forgiveness of the people.
With the advancement of science and technology, most of the mysteries of history have been rationally explained, but there are also a very small number of mysteries, which are still controversial and have no convincing answers to this day. In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, it was an eventful autumn, after the Guanwai Jin army repeatedly invaded, the group of subjects were helpless, but the Emperor of the Apocalypse ignored the government and indulged in carpentry. At the end of May 1626, a strange incident suddenly occurred in the capital, causing more than 20,000 deaths and injuries, more than three hundred years have passed, and the reason for this incident cannot be solved.
In the first month of the sixth year of the Apocalypse (1626), the Emperor of the Apocalypse received a good report that the Ming army guarding Ningyuan had repelled the enemy and wounded the enemy leader Nurhaci. The situation improved slightly, the ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and the emperor was overjoyed. Four months later, Zhu Youxiao (Emperor of the Apocalypse) was thinking about how to improve the level of carpentry, when a loud noise struck, followed by the trembling of the palace.
It is conceivable that Zhu Yu's head must be blank, and in any case, he can't guess why such a strange thing happened, is it the enemy who has attacked? At that time, the most powerful weapon was the cannon, and the cannon was definitely not so powerful. The book "Copy of the Heavenly Change" records: "The sky is bright, suddenly there is a roar, from the northeast to the southwest corner of the capital, the gray gas rises, and the houses are turbulent." With a loud tremor, the sky collapsed, it was as dark as night, and the ten thousand rooms were flat. ”
The originally cloudless sky was suddenly shrouded in dust, the day became like night, and tens of thousands of houses collapsed in an instant. This kind of description of the scene can't help but remind people of science fiction movies, if it were not for the powerful weapon attack, there would be no such scene. Hundreds of years ago, the Ming Dynasty was still in the era of cold weapons, and I couldn't think of what caused it.
Of the thousands of craftsmen who were repairing the city walls, few were spared, and the eunuchs reacted quickly, dragging the emperor to find a place to hide. When people encounter danger, their potential will be stimulated, and Zhu Youxiao, who does not love sports, is now moving vigorously, hiding under the hard material of the Dragon Book, and the eunuch who protects him is smashed to death by falling objects. Zhu Yu was so frightened that his soul was scattered, until the strange things had completely stopped, and then he dared to slowly walk out from under the Dragon Book case.
Historical books such as the Ming Shilu, the Guoyu, and the Zhizhong Zhi all record this event in detail and call it the "Great Explosion of the Apocalypse". In this disaster, more than 20,000 people were killed and injured, not only officials and civilians, but also Zhu Cijiong, a crown prince under one year old. At the time of the disaster, although the third prince Zhu Cijiong was not hit by the falling object, he died not long after being frightened.
The courtiers submitted a twist one after another, believing that the emperor did not act, did not achieve "pro-virtuous subjects, far lesser people", favored the eunuch Wei Zhongxian, which made the heavens angry, and the emperor should immediately admit his mistakes to the people of the world and sincerely change them. Zhu Youjian, who has no master of the six gods, accepted the criticism of the ministers, and at the same time issued an edict for his own sins, announced a general amnesty for the world, indicated that he would reflect on it well, and took out ten thousand taels of gold as a disaster relief fund.
Since the Apocalypse Explosion, many people have tried to find out the reason, but unfortunately they have not been able to do so. In modern times, according to relevant historical materials, experts have conducted in-depth analysis and research, expressed their own opinions, and put forward several different views, the more reliable ones are meteorite theory, earthquake theory, Wang Gong factory drug store explosion theory, and even tornado theory.
The above several statements sound very reasonable, but none of them are completely convincing, why? The "Guoyu" records: "All the dead and wounded are naked, their clothes are hanging from the trees of the Western Mountains, the clothes of the Changping Teaching Field are piled up, and the women in the streets of Yuanhong Temple are naked." "This means that the clothes of the dead and wounded are gone, not powder, but flying to other places, and even some people's clothes disappear in an instant, but they are safe and sound, too strange, too unbelievable."
In recent years, for the big explosion of the apocalypse at the end of the Ming Dynasty, some people have put forward a very thunderous view, thinking that this is an alien attack, which is simply a fantasy, completely unreasonable, and can be listened to as a joke. In your opinion, what is the cause of the Apocalypse Explosion?
