As Lingnan belonged to the East Asian monsoon climate zone, with tropical and subtropical monsoon oceanic climate characteristics, the soldiers in the Central Plains were not adapted to the humid climate in the south, and they were sick, and the fighting strength of the army was greatly reduced, and they lost many battles.
