A Textual Research on Cheng Entering Sichuan from Xiaogan Township, Macheng, Hubei Province

"Since ancient times, Jiangxi has filled Huguang and Huguang has filled Sichuan." Historically, Huguang has filled Sichuan twice, once in the early Ming Dynasty and once in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties. At that time, due to fierce wars between Zhu Yuanzhang and Chen Youliang in Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu and other places around Poyang Lake, many people migrated because of the war, and many people migrated to the west. At that time, many Jiangxi people went west to Hubei, and some went to Sichuan. However, in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, Huguang filled Sichuan, and many people moved to Sichuan at that time. Obviously, you're not. You immigrated when Zhu Yuanzhang established the Great Ming Dynasty. At that time, the southwest was not completely unified, and the ethnic minorities in the southwest had many separatist regimes. In addition, the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty are in the southwest. Because Sichuan is vast and sparsely populated, many people migrated from Hubei to Sichuan to develop and defend the southwest, and finally unified the southwest.
