What's the difference between going to the west and going to the east?

The difference is that it is strictly forbidden and not too strict. A new piece of land is used by the ruler to guard against other families, and a new piece of land is left by the ruler for himself. Therefore, in a strict sense, it takes a lot of time to travel to the west in a narrow sense and to the east in a narrow sense. But they are all the same, but in the end, both of them forced the rulers to give up the ban, let the people expand into the open space to develop the economy and provide taxes for the government.

As we all know, since 1840, after the two Opium Wars and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement broke out, the western powers stepped up their aggression against China, and the border crisis intensified. Due to internal troubles and foreign invasion, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty had to gradually abandon the blockade policy and allow people mainly from North China to leave Shanhaiguan and immigrate to the Northeast. However, after the signing of 190 1, the Qing government was unable to pay 980 million taels of silver to other countries, which pushed the westward journey to a real climax.

1In August, 903, Yigu was appointed as the general of Suiyuan City, where he set up Xing Yuan, the minister of reclamation, to supervise the General Administration of Reclamation of Mongolian Banner, Fengning Reclamation Bureau in Fengzhen, Chahar Left-wing Reclamation Bureau in Zhangjiakou and Ximeng Reclamation Bureau in Baotou, which not only allowed the Han people to plant across the "isolation zone", but also used both soft and hard techniques for Mongolian Banner, both civil and military.

There is another reason, one is to develop the population in Northeast China; The other is to use the land in the northwest to pay reparations to the great powers. In this difference, if they can give people the same enlightenment, that is, on the land of China, no one can enclose a certain place as their own, and no one can stop the integration of all ethnic groups in China. On the original arable land, only by letting the cultivated people nail their homes into the soil like nails can we really hold the territory of the motherland and let the mountains and rivers of the motherland last forever.

The reasons why Shandong people choose to travel to Guangdong;

It is also because of years of war and famine, because in the twenties and thirties of the19th century, some natural disasters often occurred in Shandong, and wars continued. Like some kind of locust plague. Drought and banditry are prevalent, so the famine at this time is very serious.

The escape route that victims can choose is immigration. In fact, the history of this journey is quite long. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were already millions of immigrants. Even if they go to the northeast, these people still keep in touch with their relatives and friends at home.
