Were there any immigrants except 18 in the early Ming Dynasty?

According to historical records, there were 12 groups of immigrants around the early years of Hongwu, among which 10 group moved directly to Henan, Shandong and Anhui provinces. Laiwu, located in the eastern part of the Central Plains, has a vast territory, a vast territory and a sparsely populated area, and naturally becomes an important place for resettling immigrants. According to the relevant data, the author made a preliminary investigation on the towns 199 10 (Fengcheng Sub-district Office, Fangxia, Zhaili, Liyang, Yangzhuang, Dawangzhuang, Kouzhen, Zhangjiawa, Gaozhuang and Niuquan) in the main road basin of Wenhe in Laiwu City and on both sides of the official road leading to Taian in China. It is known that before the great immigration in the early Ming Dynasty and at the end of the great immigration in the early years of Hongwu, it suddenly increased to 2 18, an increase of 14 times, which shows that the number of immigrants is huge. Interestingly, among these immigrants, there are only 50 families from Hongdong County, Shanxi Province (with one surname and one village as the unit), and 90 families from Zaoqiang, Hebei Province. In addition, 16 households moved in from Anhui, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Laiyang and Zhucheng in Shandong, and the native place of 10 households was not clear. This strongly shows that this great migration is Zhu Yuanzhang's grand strategy of governing the country and a big move that affects the whole country. Revenge is untenable. In addition, why are there more immigrants from Zaoqiang than from Hongdong? According to the data, Zaoqiang in Hebei belongs to Jizhou, one of Kyushu. However, with the change of dynasties, the area under the jurisdiction of Jizhou was changed to the east of Shanxi (including Hongdong) many times, so it is not surprising that the Great Migration Movement spread to Zaoqiang, Hebei. In addition, Hongdong is the key area of this migration, and immigrants are widely distributed all over the country, so the number of households assigned to Laiwu is naturally less. According to historical statistics, although there were surnames who moved to Laiwu during Yongle period, there were only a few. It seems that the rumor that "the prince sweeps the tombstone" has little to do with our Laiwu immigrants. postscript

To put it simply, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the land wars in the Central Plains continued year after year, and natural disasters spread all over the country. Natural and man-made disasters make the Central Plains barren, while the southern part of Shanxi Province is rarely affected by natural and man-made disasters, but the contradiction between favorable weather, prosperous population and small land and large population is quite prominent. As a founding monarch with the heart of governing the country, Zhu Yuanzhang saw this. According to Ming Taizu, shortly after he acceded to the throne, he put forward the idea of moving Shanxi people to Lu Yu, which is "suitable for dates, with few people and preserved geographical location". Hongdong, which is located in the main road of traffic, has become the base camp of migration because "the floodplain is rich, and anyone who migrates will follow". After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, the kings rebelled and wars were frequent, which led to a sharp drop in the population of the war zone. Judy, the prince of Yan, succeeded to the throne, which was the main reason for the great migration of Yongle.

Many large-scale migrations in Ming Dynasty made pedantic people leave their homes and grieve, but they played an important role in rationally arranging land and geographical location and promoting the smooth development of national politics and economy. In addition, the large-scale migration and integration of population have exchanged culture and technology and improved people's quality. Because immigrants buy houses in order to cultivate land and build their homes from scratch, they are objectively encouraged to carry forward the spirit of hard struggle. These undoubtedly played an inestimable role in the development and progress of the Chinese nation. Nowadays, whether at home or abroad, children in Hu Aixiang will feel very cordial when they mention that "we were a family 500 years ago". This has also become a link between Chinese people in Hu Aixiang at home and abroad.
