Ming Dynasty, Jiangxi, Liushuwan

Willow Bay in Yingtianfu, Jiangxi Province, is the area around Lan Qi Street and Yudao Street in Nanjing today. There is a stone tablet in the site of the Forbidden City in the Ming Dynasty, which stood in the 40th year of Wanli (16 12). There is the place name of Liushuwan in the inscription, that is to say, the place name of Liushuwan did exist in the Ming Dynasty. According to the waterway data of Nanjing and the square map of Tianfu City in Mingying, Liu Shu Bay should be in the area of Biaoying, Taiji Courtyard and Dazhong Bridge, and the specific location is in the upper reaches of Taiji Courtyard in those days, under the military forces of Dongcheng, that is, in the area of Lan Qi Street and Yudao Street in Nanjing today. There are many articles about where the Han people living in Yunnan migrated: Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Emperor, once ordered generals such as Fu Youde, Aquamarine and Mu Ying to lead 300,000 troops from Nanjing to Yunnan. After pacifying Yunnan, Zhu Yuanzhang appreciated Mu Ying very much and saw his great contribution, so he sent Mu Ying to stay in Yunnan to guard the territory. In order to consolidate the territory and promote the development of Yunnan, Mu Ying personally returned to Nanjing around the fifteenth year of Hongwu, recruited craftsmen in Nanjing, and personally went to Yunnan to reclaim wasteland and build water conservancy projects. Among the Ming army and craftsmen brought by Mu Ying, some officers and men took their families, while others intermarried with Yunnan locals. From then on, they reclaimed land, had children and lived in Yunnan. Secondly, because Willow Bay is close to the southeast of the Ming Palace Museum, it belongs to the forbidden area of the imperial city. Therefore, the troops stationed in this area and the residents living there became Zhu Yuanzhang's worries. Some officials, businessmen and people who committed crimes or were forced to add crimes were sent to Yunnan, a barren land. In this way, residents living in Liushuwan naturally become the main targets of immigrants. At that time, Liuye Bay was close to the southeast of Ming Palace, which was within the forbidden area of Miyagi, so people living here suffered inevitable demolition, so many people living in Liuye Bay followed Mu Ying to Yunnan. After the Qing Dynasty, the Liushuwan area was once changed to a garrison camp, and after Shunzhi, it was stationed in the Eight Banners of Manchuria (hence the name Lan Qi Street). After it became a military camp, people in Liushuwan moved out more. As a result, at present, there are at least hundreds of thousands of people in southwest provinces such as Yunnan, Sichuan and Guizhou who are descendants of Nanjing immigrants in the past. Most of their ancestral homes are in Liu Shu Bay, which can be said to be the base camp of Nanjing immigrants. The data of Liu Shu Bay compiled by Nanjing Geographical Names Office also shows that Liu Shu Bay was originally a piece of land, and its name has been abolished. It used to be located in the southeast corner of Nanjing City and the southeast side of Ming Emperor City, and now it is around Lan Qi Street and the west exit of Guanghua East Street. Willow Bay is named after its location in the bend of Dayanggou River, where many willows are planted. I hope it will help you and be adopted.
