The Mongols probably halved the population of China. Even when the population of cities was spared, the previous population levels could often not be maintained because the Mongols had, on the way to the cities, killed nearly all the farmers and farm workers who had fed the cities. Conquered cities often rebelled after submission because of that. Many historians find it difficult to believe that so many people could have been killed by the Mongols, because where cities were occasionally spared only the countryside dwellers had been directly killed by Mongol butchery. But the Mongols destroyed the carrying capacity of the farms because they wanted grasslands for their horses and hunting parks for wild animals, so countryside murders and city massacre was the general rule until Yelu Ch’u-ts’ai, convinced Kublai Khan that it was better to spare the population of Kaifeng, turning them into a source of riches and revenue rather than corpses, to enrich Karakorum.
耶律楚材使大汗相信,保留这些汉人就是保留了摇钱树,才渐渐止杀的。
[URL=]从1223年的7681万到1264年1302万,南宋的损失太惊人了,如果不知道历史的发展,光看人口的损失还以为南宋已经亡国了呢[/URL]
南宋到底被蒙古军屠杀多少人,很难定论,但从蒙古人在中亚,印度,欧洲,西夏的屠杀记录来看,好不到哪里去。
