Statistics on the number of immigrants in Gansu

People from Henan went there. First, because there are few people in Shaanxi and the population pressure is small, Henan is a populous province. When I went to Shaanxi, I could support myself and eat enough. Second, the Yellow River in Henan often bursts, causing famine (especially 1942), and life in Shaanxi is better. So after the chaos, most of them were made up by people from these populous provinces of Henan.

The first stage. The Guanzhong garrison was transferred to other places to resist torsion and the garrison was weak. On the grounds of trivial matters (one is to buy bamboo, the other is to say "Qin does not leave behind". ), the local Muslims quickly organized a 300,000-strong army of 18 battalion and began indiscriminate slaughter of Han people in Guanzhong area. Due to the weak rural organizations, the Han people in rural areas were basically killed. Within a few months, five million Han people on both sides of Wei River were killed, and more than twenty county magistrates of Han people died. Only in the county town did those who fled to the mountains survive. (For details, see County Records of Guanzhong Region. ) The Hui armed forces even besieged An for more than a year. At the same time, extreme religious thoughts appeared in Gansu. "Protestants" took advantage of the decline of the Qing court and quickly rebelled in various parts of Gansu under the leadership of religious speculation leaders.

Several results

1 The population of Shaanxi and Gansu decreased sharply. Before the war, the population of Shaanxi was 6.5438+0394 million, and that of Gansu was 6.5438+0945 million. After the war, it was 7.72 million in Shaanxi and 4.95 million in Gansu. After this war, the elite of Shaanxi and Gansu went bankrupt, and the economic and cultural losses in the northwest region were immeasurable, and they embarked on the road of decline. Gansu here includes present Gansu, Ningxia and eastern Qinghai.

Blocking the passage from the west to Xinjiang directly led to Agubo successfully occupying a large territory of Xinjiang for more than ten years. The first stop of Bai Yanhu's defection was to take refuge in Agubo. In the end, 2,000 Hui people who defected from Bai Yanhu arrived in Central Asia, forming today's Donggan people.

Since then, there have been no Muslims in Shaanxi except xi City. Because the Hui people in Xi 'an did not take part in the rebellion, they survived under the guidance of a wise imam and gradually formed today's Huimin Street. Most of the remaining Hui people in Gansu were placed in desolate places.

The surrender of Ma Zhanbi's department brought leniency to the left. From then on, Ma began to control the northwest region and became a warlord of Ma clan for nearly a hundred years. Qingma, Ma Ning and Ganma are all descendants of this department.

Because of his deliberate avoidance, many people have never heard of it, and some even think that the murderer Bai Yanhu is a national hero. Whenever I see this situation, it is hard to avoid making people sad. Telling this history has no intention of causing new ethnic conflicts, but I just want to tell you that some things should not be forgotten and must not be forgotten.
