Did any major events happen during the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty?

The Huguang Repopulation of Sichuan refers to the two large-scale relocations of Hunan, Hubei (i.e. Huguang Province), Guangdong (mainly Hakkas) and other provinces that occurred in the late Yuan, Ming and early Ming dynasties and the late Ming and early Qing dynasties in China. A wave of immigrants moved to various parts of Sichuan. According to research, residents from more than a dozen provinces including Jiangxi, Fujian, and Guangxi have moved in. In the early years of Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty, Zhang De, the governor of Sichuan, went to Luzhou via Chongqing. He patrolled along the way and took a boat for many days. Zhang De did not see many people, so he felt strange: Where have all the local people gone? ?The attendant replied: They are all dead. It turns out that in the more than 30 years between the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, frequent wars occurred in Sichuan, coupled with constant famines and plagues, the population of Sichuan decreased sharply. According to research, in the early Qing Dynasty, Sichuan's population was only about 500,000, and there were only a few hundred families left in Chongqing City (now the area from Chaotianmen to Qixinggang Tongyuanmen). In some prefectures and counties under Chongqing's jurisdiction, there were only a dozen or so families left. people! Zhang Dedi quickly reported the situation to the court. Kangxi issued an order to encourage large-scale immigration to Sichuan (including Chongqing), and the Qing government also issued a series of preferential immigration policies to this end. Immigrants from Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong, Henan and other provinces came to Sichuan in large numbers, and the decades-long immigration activity of "Huguang filled Sichuan" began. "Tongzhi of Sichuan": "Since the Han and Tang Dynasties, Shu has a large population, facing each other with fireworks. After the war in the late Ming Dynasty, the population was as sparse as morning stars." According to the population statistics of the 24th year of Kangxi's reign, those who have experienced large-scale wars Sichuan Province only has a population of over 90,000 people. During the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty, the Sichuan Basin, which had experienced war and chaos, finally calmed down, and batches of new local officials began to take office. In the eyes of these smug officials, Sichuan is a fertile soil. However, when they arrived at the new official residence on horseback and in sedan chairs, they discovered that the legendary Land of Abundance was actually so desolate, dilapidated, and riddled with holes. In the seventh year of Emperor Kangxi's reign in Huguang, Sichuan Governor Zhang Dedi worriedly presented a memorial to Emperor Kangxi, showing a strong sense of urgency. He said: "I was honored by the emperor to be appointed as the highest local official in Sichuan, and came to this war-torn place to show my ambition. But now when I stand in the devastated former Tianfu, I have no way to increase taxes and taxes. The expedition made me feel uneasy and exhausted. I was sent by the emperor to serve the country with loyalty and loyalty. After several days of thinking, I felt that the only way to revive the reputation of Tianfu in Sichuan was to recruit immigrants to reclaim the land and rebuild our homes. There seems to be no other good solution than this. "Historical Materials of the Ming and Qing Dynasties·Book of the Ministry of Household Affairs". Governor Zhang also mentioned some immigration measures in the memorial. For example, local officials in provinces adjacent to Sichuan can be ordered to conduct an inventory of the people of Sichuan origin who have left their hometowns due to the war, register them, and then have Sichuan officials "pick them up and place them there." Or the government can directly introduce an immigration policy and move people from densely populated provinces to Sichuan through administrative means. Emperor Kangxi was sitting on the Dragon Throne in the Forbidden City and was worrying about taxation and reconstruction issues across the country. He received memorials from local officials in Sichuan one after another, convened relevant departments to listen to relevant reports, and formally issued an edict called the "Edict to Recruit People to Fill Sichuan in the Thirty-Third Year of Kangxi", ordering large-scale recruitment from Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong and other places.
