Did Zhu Yuanzhang really kill all the Shandong people after he proclaimed himself emperor?
During the Yongle period, the population growth in Shandong and other areas of Jiaodong slowed down. The reason is still unknown. At this time, Yunnan has been pacified and the garrison soldiers have arrived. But not as many as in the genealogy.
The early years of Yongle were also a period when Jiaodong exported a large number of people. Although Judy, the prince of Yan, went to Beijing, not all Hebei people supported him. The battle between southern Hebei and northern Shandong was the fiercest. After Judy came to power, she slaughtered the eastern and southern parts of Hebei (the legendary "Yan Wang swept the north"), and then moved the population from other provinces here to choose a densely populated area and an army that Shandong Lu Wang had defeated, so Shandong suffered heavy taxes during the Yongle period, and soon an uprising broke out. Nowadays, immigrants from Shandong abound in Tianjin, Hengshui and Cangzhou, Hebei. Some people even think that the counties and cities below Tianjin are more generous than the city people because their ancestors are from Shandong.
As for Shandong, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, it was suppressed by the regime from the south. This can be seen from the genealogy of "Liu Changle's family" that "Nanmanzi broke the geomantic omen", and Wendeng Cong's genealogy also has a very similar statement. There is also a branch to continue the genealogy and avoid ancestors. It was not made public until many years later in the Qing Dynasty, so that many people failed in the exam. It can be seen how tense the climate was at that time, similar to the saying that "Zhu Yuanzhang killed Shandong" circulated in Shandong.
The splendor of the Jin and Yuan Dynasties was inevitably suppressed by the Ming Dynasty, which can be compared with the history around 1949.
In the compilation of Mu Ping county annals in the Republic of China, the "Ming immigrants" were questioned. In the recent survey of Rushan city records, the view is that the indigenous surnames "joined the ranks of families with the same surname who moved to China in the late Yuan Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty in order to seek clan protection." If you compare the above analysis, it still makes sense.
One is the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty. Since the Song Dynasty, Shandong has been in a state of war. First, the peasant uprising in Shandong at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, and then the struggle against gold. Shortly after the Jin people's rule in Shandong was consolidated, the Jin-Yuan War broke out again. After the Yuan Dynasty unified China, the policy of ethnic discrimination was implemented, and the Han people were at the bottom of society. The brutal national oppression and crazy economic plunder of Mongolian and Han local classes caused the slow population growth in Shandong. According to statistics, the population of northern provinces in Yuan Dynasty was only 1/5 of that in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.
The second time was the peasant uprising in Shandong at the end of Yuan Dynasty. After the Red Scarf Army uprising broke out at the end of Yuan Dynasty, all parts of Shandong responded in succession. 1357, Liu Futong sent the Eastern Expeditionary Army to reach Shandong Peninsula from Haizhou (now Lianyungang) by sea, first conquering Jiaozhou, then capturing Laizhou and occupying Yidu Road. The Red Scarf Army and the government forces of the Yuan Dynasty launched a tug-of-war in Shandong for four years. When the war broke out, there were huge losses in all parts of Shandong, people migrated and social order was chaotic.
The third is immigration. As Shandong's economy suffered heavy losses at the end of Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang implemented a policy of recuperation. Compared with Luxi, thousands of miles away, Jiaodong suffered less trauma at that time. Therefore, in the 25th year of Hongwu (1392), the Ming government moved more than 5,600 households to the Dongchangfu. In the 28th year of Hongwu, Qingdao, Denglin and other places 1.500 households moved into Dongchang, further reducing the population of Jiaodong.
It can be clearly seen from here that the immigrants at that time were the targets of repression by the dictatorship of the rulers at that time, and they did not dare to recognize their ancestors until the Qing Dynasty!
In the 25th year of Hongwu (1392), the Ming government moved more than 5,600 households to Dongchangfu, Denglinfu. In the 28th year of Hongwu, 65,438+0,500 households moved to Dongchang and Denglin in Qingdao, totaling more than 765,438+0,000 households. After Zhu Yuanzhang's death, Zhu Yunwen, the eldest grandson, succeeded to the throne and decided to cut the vassal. In the name of Jun Qing, Judy, the prince of Beiping, pre-emptively invaded Nanjing. This is the "Battle of Jingnan". In the battle of Jingnan, Judy and Wen Jian's army fought in Shantung and won many victories. Judy plundered people and burned food and grass in Shandong. Finally, due to the tenacious resistance of Tie Xuan, the chief secretary of Shandong who participated in politics (there is an Tiegong Temple in Daming Lake in Jinan today) and the support of Shandong people, Judy was defeated in Dongchang and was forced to retreat to the north. Two years later, Judy bypassed Jinan and captured Nanjing for the sake of Ming Chengzu. In the battle of Jingnan, the looting and slaughter of Yan army was very serious. There are many records in Ming History alone that the Yan army beheaded 30,000 people, beheaded tens of thousands of people and drowned more than 100,000 people. In this four-year war, Shandong, as the main battlefield, suffered serious social and economic damage. Especially after Ming Chengzu ascended the throne, he retaliated against Shandong, because Judy fought against Wen Jian's army in Shandong, and Judy was defeated in Dongchang, and was forced to retreat to the north, and then retaliated against Shandong after he acceded to the throne.
