Is Zaolinzhuang in Shandong in the early Qing Dynasty a modern Zaozhuang?

Zaolinzhuang, Shandong Province, is one of the distribution centers of immigrants in the early Ming Dynasty, which was recently discovered by Chinese immigration history experts Ge and Cao Xinfa. Wang Fu village in Anqiu, which is 70 miles north of Yanzhou County, Shandong Province, was originally named Zaolinzhuang according to the records of the Ming Dynasty stone tablets, and was enfeoffed here by Sun An Wang Qiu in the Ming Dynasty, which is called Wangfuzhuang in Anqiu.

The village is located in the hilly area in the east of Yanzhou, the suburb of Yanzhou state capital, just as the traffic artery of Jinan counties going south. At the end of Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of Ming Dynasty, it was not affected by the war, and its population was relatively dense, which had the basic elements of centralized immigration. Although there are no records of immigrants in official documents, there are records of people who migrated from Shandong in the Ming Dynasty and the early Qing Dynasty in Suixi County, Anhui Province, and it is indicated that Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Wang, Li, Ding and Liang, who account for more than 80% of the county's population, are all immigrants from Shandong. In recent years, when I was engaged in the research of surnames and genealogy, I also received many inquiries and letters from people in Liaoning, Jilin and other places, saying that my ancestral home was Zaolinzhuang, Shandong. In the early Qing dynasty, immigrants strengthened their frontier defense and moved out of the customs, asking for help in researching the exact location and migration history of Zaolinzhuang in Shandong Province. This can also be used as circumstantial evidence that Zaolinzhuang in Shandong is a settlement in Ming and Qing Dynasties.
