Often where there are people, there will be struggles, where there are struggles, there will be wars, this sentence can be said to be extremely appropriate in ancient China, China's various dynasties, tribes, wars between each other do not know how much has happened, then, once there is war there will be death, once there is death, there will be corpses, in such a large-scale war, how to solve the problem of seeing a large number of corpses, where do these corpses end up?
Although there is no way to compare the scale of the ancient war and the current war, but the number of casualties will not be much less than the current war, and at the same time, due to the lack of sufficient medical conditions in ancient times, the number of deaths in the war may be even higher than now, then in ancient times, soldiers died on the battlefield and then were eaten by crows, birds, wild dogs and the like is a common thing, not to mention what Ma Ge shrouded corpse, that kind of words that would rather die on the battlefield are from whose mouths come out? Therefore, this kind of treatment of magge shroud is only enjoyed by those kings and generals.
For example, the Five Dynasties and Ten Liao Taizong failed to invade the south, fell ill and died in the retreat, but the return journey is still far away, you know, where in ancient times the emperor would be left in the middle of the road and buried, so at that time the imperial kitchen in addition to pay attention, the emperor's internal organs were hollowed out, salted, which smoothly brought the emperor's body back to the dprk. Of course, there are many other examples, and we will not dwell on them.
So, what is the result of ordinary soldiers? Buried on the spot, there is no mistake, that is, buried on the spot, not to say that it is seriously buried, but casually dig a big pit, throw all the bodies inside, and then bury the soil.
In 546 AD, The Eastern Wei emperor Gao Huan besieged Yubi City, and as a result, the two armies held each other for more than fifty days, and without results, Eastern Wei also killed 70,000 people himself, and there was no way, Gao Huan had these corpses buried in a large pit.
Of course, the most tragic are those who were killed, often simply covered with a layer of soil. The strange thing is that in ancient China, there were very few cremations for those who died in battle, and it is said that there were a hundred burns, but it is indeed rare that there are these records in historical records. A rare example is the war between the Turkic and Sui armies. At this time, the Turks cremated the dead soldiers. But in fact, this is still related to the customs and customs of their own country, and the Turks themselves are cremation of the dead. But don't look at the cremation we are also doing now, but before Buddhism was introduced to China, Chinese was extremely resistant to the cremation of the map, Chinese pay attention to the burial of the ground, and the fire is a great disrespect to the corpse.
But in fact, some of the victors actually do not care about respect or disrespect, they will pile up the corpses of the enemy army and use it to shock the enemy army. Although history will not record these things, but after all, there are traces to follow, in Yixian County, Hebei Province, there are 14 sealed mounds, and finally excavated, there are more than 2,000 skulls in it, just think about it and feel infiltrated.
Of course, in fact, there are also those who eat, who are hungry for meat, laughing and talking about thirst for The blood of the Huns, this sentence is not a joke at all. Historically, there have indeed been man-eating troops.
Therefore, in ancient wars, wherever there was a ma ge shroud, it was the treatment of the general emperor, and often the dead soldiers were lucky to have a handful of yellow soil.
Therefore, at present, we should cherish the peaceful and stable life now.
