The trend of immigrants in Han dynasty

In the early years of the Western Han Dynasty, the agricultural areas under the jurisdiction of the Western Han government were often harassed by Xiongnu and Xiqiang, especially Xiongnu, killing and injuring border people, looting property, destroying agricultural production and plundering border people as slaves. When Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty arrived, in order to make peace with the country and fight against the Huns, * * * sent Zhang Qian and Gan Fu (ethnic minorities) to communicate with the western regions, with the intention of uniting with the Yue people. I didn't want to go back to my hometown in the East to fight Xiongnu, so I didn't achieve the goal of uniting with the Yue family. It was not until Zhang Qian's second mission to the Western Regions that I gradually achieved the goal of uniting Wusun and the agricultural countries south of Tianshan Mountain to fight against Xiongnu.

In the Han dynasty, a large agricultural area was established north of the Great Wall. In BC 12 1 year, the Huns king Xie Kun and king Xiutu, who lived in Hexi area, surrendered to the Han Dynasty. In the Han Dynasty, Xie Kun was named the source of Yin Hou, and four of his subordinates were named Liehou. More than 40,000 people were placed in Longxi, Beidi, Shang Jun, Shuofang and Yun Yun, which is called the Five Scenic Countries. Jiuquan County and Zhangye County were established in 10 1 year before the Western Han government, and Wuwei County was established in the first 88 years. According to the records of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in the second year of Yuanshou (before 12 1 year), the evil king descended and took Wuwei County and Jiuquan County as the land. In the sixth year of Ding Yuan (before 1 1 1), Zhangye and Dunhuang counties were separated. After consulting relevant historical materials, it is more reliable. According to the Records of Hanshu Geography, the number of households in Hexi four counties is as follows:

Name, family, population, county, plain and river basin.

Dunhuang 1 1200 38355 6 Shule River in Dunhuang Plain

Zhangye 24352 8873 1 10 Heihe River in Zhangye Plain

Total 7 1270 28023 1 35

There are more than 70,000 households with more than 280,000 people, most of whom are Han immigrants. Before 12 1 year, "Jiuquan county was set up in the hometown of Han Naizi's evil king, which was enriched by immigrants." Before 1 1 1 year, "it was divided into two counties: Wucheng, Jiuquan, Zhangye and Dunhuang." Prisoners, delinquents and border people were pardoned, and 60,000 people left Dunhuang in their spare time. ""More and more, Jiuquan Zhangye North died180,000 people. They settled in Juyan and retired troops to guard Jiuquan. "965,438+0 years ago", they sent troops with Wang Wei, and the officials moved to Dunhuang County. "
