To put it more directly, it was a revolution that reshaped the entire nation.
This wasn't simple reform; it required sacrifice, bloodshed, destined to cause the deaths of many, and meant to overthrow many of the traditional aristocratic classes!
In just a few decades, not only was the foundation of industrialization laid, but also a new class of aristocracy was born, namely the industrial capitalists of today.
Of course, the cost was undoubtedly very severe.
In just a few decades, many families that had existed for centuries, even millennia, were blown away in the waves of revolution.
According to folklore, during the reign of Emperor Shiwu of the Liangxia Empire, the number of people who died directly or indirectly due to war and turmoil exceeded 15 million!
At that time, the population of the Liangxia Empire was less than 400 million.
In all subsequent wars, the total number of fallen soldiers of the Liangxia Empire was less than 10 million.
