The immigration mode of great immigrants in Ming Dynasty

The methods and steps of great immigrants in Ming Dynasty generally include repatriation, military camp, commercial camp and private operation. More or less, they are forced to recruit, lure and send. Besides, the Central Plains is a good place, and no one wants to move without food for several years, so we have to formulate immigration regulations and leave one for a family of four; Leave two for a family of six; A family of eight stays at the ratio of three.

It also stipulates that all immigrants must go through the relocation procedures at Guangji Temple in Hongtong County and receive the "Sichuan Pension Photo". Then from here, under the supervision of officers and men, in accordance with the direction designated by the government, to all parts of the Central Plains. As folklore says, even in the form of deception. The official posted a notice in advance: people from all over the world will move except those under the locust tree in Guangji Temple. There are also some legends that restrict those who are willing to move to report under the locust tree one day, and those who are unwilling to move must also go there to express their feelings to the government. As a result, when thousands of people gathered under the big locust tree, the government took it by surprise and mobilized a large number of officers and men to surround the big locust tree in one fell swoop. No one is left behind, young or old. Those who don't obey will be tied up with ropes and connected one by one, and they have to obey under the persuasion of officers and men. Those old, weak and sick people who stayed at home rushed to hear the news. Naturally, it is a scene of "my parents and wife are in a hurry to see me off, dragging their clothes and crying on the road".

Is that so? According to political and historical data, several people moved to Pingyang, Shanxi. Hongdong county is the most populous county in Pingyang, and there is no doubt that Hongdong county is the focus of resettlement. Moreover, Hongtong County is located in the traffic artery, with Youyan in the north, Qilu in the east, Qin Shu in the south and Helong in the west. Guangji Temple in the north of Hongtong County is also a post station since the Tang and Song Dynasties. It is expected that the Ming government will set up a bureau here to concentrate the immigrant team and distribute photos of Sichuan capital.
