The death toll of the argument about the war, of course, there are many versions, but one thing is certain, the decline of populationand died in the war is the two argument is completely differentfrom the ancient and modern, look, as long as the massconfusion in a country or area of more than 10 years, the population decreased more than 20% above the very normal,because of population the birth rate is greatly affected, the normal person's life will be shortened greatly. The sharp contraction of improper implementation of policies or those in power will cause the population, such as the Han Emperor Wu ofthe Xiongnu conquests caused the whole Han population fell by more than half, and the conquest of Mongolia cavalry greatly damaged the local farmland, water conservancy, farmlandapproach also enables the local population in the 20 years to reduce the more than 75%. There is in many major postwarconceals the population quantity, as well as refugees too much,the official statistics also exist great bias. This estimate is a large number ofancient books textual research of historical records and general speculative results, does not contain any emotional. The China before the Opium War about 141000000 people died in the warand famine, after the Opium War, about 161000000 people died in the war and famine.
