What county governments were there in Ningxia in Han Dynasty?

During the Western Han Dynasty, Emperor Wudi sent two missions to Ningxia, and 700,000 people emigrated. The imperial court raised a large number of people to move to the next place for farming and set up Anding County. ***********

In the second year of yuanshuo (127 BC), Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sent general Wei Qing to ride 30,000 horses from the west of Yunnan to the west of Gansu. Attack the Xiongnu Loufan and Henan Aries King, and recover the land of Henan and Xinqin in one fell swoop. "Hu Shou captured thousands of people and more than one million cattle and sheep." At the same time, Shuofang City was built and the fortress built by Meng Tian in Qin Dynasty was restored, because the river was solid. And moved the mainland residents here for animal husbandry, reclamation and frontier defense, which greatly increased the population of Ningxia at that time.

In order to better navigate the north, further strengthen the construction of border areas and resist the Huns, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty separated Anding County from Beidi County in three years (1 14). Gaoping (now Guyuan) originally moved from Beidi County to Maling (now northwest of Qingyang, Gansu Province) and set up 19 counties, including six counties in Ningxia, namely Fuping County in central and western Wu, Lingwu County in the west of Qinggangbao in Qingtongxia, Lingzhou County in northern Wu, Lianxian County in Helan Hot Springs and Wanxian County in Yanchi County. In Gaoping, Anding County is divided into 2 1 county, including 7 counties in Ningxia. That is, Gaoping County in Guyuan today, Chaona County in Pengyang Ancient City, Jingyang County on the north bank of Xijingshui in Pingliang, Wuzhi County under Liupanshan in Guyuan, Shenluan County in the south of Tongxin County, Xunxian County in Zhongning Ancient Town today and Sanshui County in Tongxin County.

In this way, on the basis of the organizational system of the Qin Dynasty, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty added Anding County outside the Northern Emperor County and set up twelve counties in Ningxia. At the same time, he traveled to ancient Ningxia in China many times and began a large-scale frontier development.
