How many immigrants were there in Zhili during Yongzheng period?

Anyone who knows the history knows that Zhili means the area belonging to the capital. The name came from the Ming Dynasty and remained in use until the Qing Dynasty. Zhili is equivalent to the current administrative center.

During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, the political and economic center of the whole country was still in the north, so that place was called Zhili. At that time, the governor of Zhili was a big shot in the country, and only those with real strength would be appointed as the governor of Zhili.

Later, with the change of political situation, the Kuomintang established the Nanjing National Government after the Qing Dynasty in Nanjing. At this time, the political center is biased towards Nanjing and other southern regions, so its position in Zhili is affected, and it is not necessary to set it as a political center. After the national government moved its capital to Nanjing, it had no practical significance, so the Kuomintang government renamed Zhili Province as Hebei Province on 1928. The word Hebei is also named after the position north of the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

The national government changed its name to maximize its own interests, because it was just established and did not want to lose its position because of the feudal remnants. Through this means, people can thoroughly realize that the political center has shifted, and now Nanjing is the political center, which is a thing of the past, just like the rules of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is equivalent to bidding farewell to an era.

From this incident, we can also see that the Nanjing National Government attaches great importance to future politics. If they want to take the whole country into their own hands, they must make sure everything goes well.
