Hongwu Hebei immigrants

The military system of the Ming Dynasty implemented the garrison system. Hebei and the present Beijing-Tianjin area are provincial capitals. Hebei has a large number of troops and barracks. Most of the soldiers of the army cultivated seeds on the spot, brought their families and multiplied for generations, and finally settled in Hebei, becoming an important part of Hebei immigrants. Its number is no less than that of officially organized immigrants.

In the first year of Hongwu (1368), the Ming generals Xu Da and Chang Yuchun conquered the Yuan Dynasty-now Beijing). In order to consolidate the victory of the Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang compiled the military service law and set up health stations from the capital to all counties. In key places, one government set up offices and two governments set up guards. The 5600-strong army is a guard, 1 120 is a thousand households,12 is a hundred households, 50 is a general flag, and 10 is a small flag. A unified military system for health stations has been established.

Hebei was one of the areas with the largest number of troops stationed in Ming Dynasty. There are100000 loyal ministers stationed in Fu Xuan, which is now Xuanhua. There are also Calm Guards, Shanhai Guards, Funing Guards, Beiping Guards 17, and Yanwang Sanwei, with a total strength of more than 200,000. Among them, Baoding and Calm have set up Calm Health Centers, which belong to thousands and hundreds of households.

In order to solve the huge military expenditure and military supplies, Hongwu promulgated the "Land Reclamation Law" in the seventh year (1374) and set up military camps. The soldiers of police officers and health stations are divided into two parts and eight parts. For example, there are 70 military camps, which are distributed along the Hutuo River in counties such as Calm, Gaocheng, Huolu and Luancheng. Villages and communities crisscross, and soldiers and civilians live together in camps.

After Judy proclaimed himself emperor, he moved some troops from Nanjing to near Beijing. Among them, "moving Daning to Baoding"; Move the mountain to the west, and all the guards under the supervision department are in Beiping. At the same time, reduce the relieving of the captaincy. "Let the soldiers of the kings stay in the squire, and the rest will go to Peiping." In the second year of Yongle-1404, the "Tianjin Sanwei" was established where the son of heaven crossed the river, which means the place where the son of heaven crossed the river.

In the eighteenth year of Yongle, Beijing was founded, which was a "South-to-North Transfer Project". Is to transfer troops from the south to the periphery of Beijing.

According to Records of Yongle in Ming Dynasty and History II in Ming Dynasty, during Yongle period, Hebei's army reached 80 guards and more than 20 houses guarding horses, nearly three times more than that during Hongwu period, with a total strength of no less than 550,000.

When Xuanzong proclaimed himself emperor, in order to prevent the northern minorities from disturbing the south, he dispatched troops to the north on a large scale and moved them to the central part of Hebei Province to reclaim land to supplement military supplies. For example, in the fifth year of Xuande (1430), SHEN WOO Youwei was enfeoffed to the Stabilization House, with more than 6,000 officers and more than 300 military camps distributed in Jizhou, Shenzhou, Nangong, Hengshui, Baoding, Boye and other counties, with twenty or thirty soldiers and dozens of hectares of land. Yang hu and Baishetun in Zhaoxian County are the barracks of the left front households in SHEN WOO. Zhai Ying, Liu Ying, Gaoying, Dongying, Xiying and other villages in Shijiazhuang were all the residences of Wei Qianzhai or Baizhai in the Ming Dynasty, and most of the villagers were descendants of Ming soldiers.

The tombstone of Tan's ancestor in Nanzhaiying, Shijiazhuang records that "Tan Zheng, the ancestor, went north with Hongdi in the early Ming Dynasty and left him to settle in Weinan Military Camp".

In Nangaoying Village, Chang 'an District, Shijiazhuang City, the inscription tablet of the Chen family is preserved, which is engraved with the history of Chen's seven ancestors stationed in the garrison. "My ancestor Chen You, Yangzhou Gaoyou Changping fellow villager. In January of the first year of Hongwu, together with the Prime Minister Xu Huishi, they really set up a garrison (thousands of households) from the army ... In June of the twenty-second year of Hongwu, the flag of the general was raised. " The monument was set up by Jiajing Dynasty, "Chen Ce, a hundred households guard before".
