Where were Manchu mainly distributed in China in Qing Dynasty?

Manchu people were basically in Inner Mongolia and Northeast China before the Qing Dynasty. After the Qing army entered Shanhaiguan, Beijing became its capital and ruled the territory of China from then on. In order to consolidate its rule, the Qing government appointed a large number of Manchu people to serve all over the country and dispersed Manchu people.

At present, Manchu population is mainly distributed in three northeastern provinces and Beijing, Inner Mongolia and Xinjiang. The Manchu population living in the above areas accounts for 97. 10% of the total Manchu population in China, and only 2.9% live in other areas. Widely distributed, mainly in Henan, Shandong, Gansu, Ningxia, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Chengdu, etc. 1 1 provinces (cities, autonomous regions).

Since the emperor shunzhi moved the capital to Beijing in Qing Dynasty, Manchu began to assimilate Han people and learn Chinese culture. When Emperor Xuan Tong abdicated, Manchu in northern China was basically completely sinicized. There are only some' pure' Manchu people in northern Liaoning and southern Jilin, and now Manchu descendants in North China don't even understand Manchu.
