What about Hongwu scattered in northern Jiangsu?

This statement is also rare in the marine field. Marine areas are usually dominated by indigenous people.

But in the early years of Hongwu, people moved to Haizhou on a large scale, not because Hongwu was scattered, but because the enemy rebelled at the end of Hongwu Yuan. In the second year of Hongwu, a large number of residents living in coastal areas moved to the mainland.

Today, in southeastern Shandong and Lianyungang, when people mention their ancestral home, they often say that they are from Haizhou or Donghai (Lianyun District, Lianyungang). On the contrary, few people call themselves Shanxi people, and even fewer call themselves Suzhou people.

In addition, Haizhou belonged to Huai 'an Prefecture in South Zhili in Ming Dynasty. Because the southeast has been heavily taxed by the court, by the Ming Dynasty, this area was as heavy as other areas in Nanzhili. So many people are forced to flee, which is the so-called "escape".

Due to the serious phenomenon of fleeing, by the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the registered permanent residence in Haizhou was less than half of that in the early Ming Dynasty. Until the 1970s, the surrounding areas of Lianyungang were sparsely populated.
