Detailed explanation of Washba immigrants

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, a large-scale Red Scarf Army uprising took place in the Jianghuai area, which caused this area to be thousands of miles away, which was not conducive to the defense of the emerging Ming regime. According to the records in Ming History, a large number of genealogical records and textual research by historian Ge, during the Hongwu period, Jiangxi migrated to Hubei, Anhui and Soviet Union, reaching 265,438+10,000 people. In the seventh year, Hongwu moved to Raozhou, Jiangxi, and 654.38+0.4 million people immigrated to Fengyang. In nine years, Hongwu moved to Raozhou and Jiujiang in Jiangxi, and 5,000 immigrants moved to the southwest of Fengyang. In 21 years, Hongwu moved to Raozhou, Jiangxi, and 300,000 immigrants moved to Huangzhou, Hubei. Relocation of Raozhou, Guangxin and Jiujiang immigrants 1.22 million people to Wuhan. Move 9 1000 to Anlu. Move 65,438+007,000 to Hanyang and Gaiyang. Move the capital to Jingzhou 1.6 million. 65,438+0,000 people moved to Xiangyang. In the 22nd year of Hongwu, 270,000 immigrants from Raozhou and Jiujiang came to Anqing, including 200,000 immigrants from Waxieba. 65,000 immigrants from Raozhou and Jiujiang moved to Chizhou. 64,000 Raozhou immigrants moved to Hefei. In the 25th year of Hongwu, 230,000 immigrants from Raozhou and Huizhou moved to Yangzhou and Huai 'an counties. In the thirty years of Hongwu, 656,000 people immigrated from Jiangxi and moved to Changde, Yuezhou, Anqing, Chenzhou, Lingling, Hengyang, Jingxian and Chenzhou in Changsha. During the Hongwu period, there were more than 210.4 million immigrants from Jiangxi, including nearly one million immigrants from Raozhou. The vast majority of Jiangxi immigrants moved out from Raozhou Waxieba (partly from Wazijiao, Nanchang). This immigration was an autocratic measure of the Ming court, which was different from previous immigrants. It happened after the war, and it was a directional migration from Jiangnan to Jiangbei, cutting off all contact with the original place of residence. In the past, the Five Rebellions in China, the Anshi Rebellion, and making suggestions to cross the south all happened in the war. The reason why the Ming Dynasty tried its best to please the people was because it lacked confidence and was unpopular, so the official history was kept secret. After moving to Anqing, these immigrants are looking forward to the opportunity to move back to Jiangxi. After death, they don't want to be buried underground, so they stop underground and wait for relocation. But year after year, after a long time, people felt that there was no hope of moving back and had to be buried again, but they still had illusions about moving back and buried the coffin shallowly, forming a unique two-step burial custom in Anqing, which has been used ever since. By the time the genealogy was compiled during the reign of Kanggan in the Qing Dynasty, these immigrants only knew about the Waba in Jiangxi. And Jiangxi's Gan dialect flows here, forming the Huai-Yue dialect of Gan dialect, which is the lingua franca here.
