Zhu Yuanzhang's Shanxi Immigrants in Ming Dynasty

Nowadays, many people say that they are from the big locust tree in Hongdong, and hundreds of thousands of people go to worship their ancestors under the big locust tree every year. Why did the Ming Dynasty immigrate from Shanxi? How many people have moved in Dong Xiaohong County? Why do so many people say it belongs to Sophora japonica?

Listen to the pure hongdong deaf king in detail.

Emperor Zhu balanced the population and took shortcuts.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Han people could not bear the cruel oppression and bullying of the Tatars, raised their flags and rebelled, and the world was in war. When Zhu Yuanzhang unified the world, there were scars everywhere. In the past, the prosperous Shandong, Henan and Hebei provinces, including Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown, all appeared the phenomenon of ten rooms and nine empty rooms. And then what? What's inside and outside? Shanxi province, relying on the natural barrier of Taihang Mountain, has little influence. At that time, the population of the Ming Dynasty was less than 60 million, and the population of Shanxi reached more than 465,438+10,000, which was a prosperous population. Emperor Zhu never played cards according to the treatment. He can't wait to get well again. In order to quickly resume agricultural production and develop the economy, he decided to take a simple and rude approach, directly from Shanxi? Deal with it? Population, fill the population gap around.

How many people immigrated to Hongtong County?

According to the "Hongdong County Records", there were more than 90,000 people in Hongdong County at that time. Although the immigration policy was rough, Zhu Yuanzhang could not build a no-man's land. At that time, the policy was to immigrate according to the ratio of "one for a family of four, two for a family of six and three for a family of eight". In this way, more than 60,000 people immigrated to Hongdong. Pay attention to the key words of immigrants. China people have a deep-rooted local concept and are unwilling to migrate. At that time, local officials played a trick and posted a notice saying that everyone could explain the situation to the officials under the big locust tree in Guangji Temple of County Records, and could not move. Unexpectedly, all the people were controlled by the officers and men, strung together with ropes, and no one could escape. In this way, Hongdong, a populous county, was abruptly reduced in size.

Why do many people say it belongs to Sophora japonica?

First, after the successful migration of Hongdong, the Ming government felt that Hongdong officials benefited from their work and the transportation in Hongdong County was convenient. Qilu in the east, Helong in the west, Youyan in the north and Qin Shu in the south? During the Tang and Song Dynasties, there was a post station at Guangji Temple in Beiguan, Hongdong County, and officials were sent to set up immigration offices. Immigrants from all over the country gathered here, paid relocation expenses (Sichuan capital) and good citizen cards (photos), and then were escorted to various places. So the locust trees of most immigrants have been moved away.

Second, the people's education level is very low. In order to remember their hometown, they wrote it down with the leafy locust tree as a mark? Ask me where my ancestors came from, Sophora japonica in Hongdong, Shanxi. What's your ancestral home? It's an old stork's nest under the big locust tree. ? Folk songs are passed down from mouth to mouth, so that future generations can remember that their roots are under the big locust tree.

Third, children and grandchildren are full of children and grandchildren, and they are thriving. When these immigrants arrived at their destination, they found that the land was flat, water was abundant and resources were abundant. The geographical conditions in many places are even better than those in Shanxi. Hard-working people quickly rebuild their homes and multiply in new fields, but their children and grandchildren do not forget their roots.

In fact, we are all proud of China people, whether they are Hong Kong immigrants or not.
