Huguang fills Sichuan? It is said that since the Qing Dynasty, people from Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong and Guangxi moved to Sichuan to supplement its population. As we all know, after the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, although the Ming Dynasty perished, there were still peasant rebels such as Zhang. In order to completely rule the Central Plains, the Qing Dynasty had to destroy the peasant rebels. At that time, after Zhang entered Sichuan, he killed many enemies, and in addition, he fought against the Qing soldiers in Sichuan, which caused great damage to Sichuan. Sichuan people were killed and injured, and the population dropped greatly. In order to make up for the population gap in Sichuan, the Qing Dynasty adopted the method of filling Sichuan with Huguang.

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the population of Sichuan decreased sharply due to the war. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Qing army and Zhang Jun fought fiercely in Sichuan, and the long-term war made the population of Sichuan decrease rapidly. After the Qing dynasty suppressed Zhang's peasant uprising army, Sichuan finally gained stability for a period of time. But Emperor Kangxi decided to cancel San Francisco, and Wu Sangui, the king of Yunnan, withdrew. Wu Sangui launched a rebellion under the banner of anti-Qing and regaining sight. This time, the battlefield is still in Sichuan, and the people of Sichuan have suffered from war. After the war, the population of Sichuan dropped to a low point. The rulers of the Qing Dynasty thought that Sichuan's population was too low, which was not conducive to economic recovery, so they let people from Huguang area live in Sichuan under the official organization. This is the saying that Huguang fills Sichuan.

However, it was not only in the Qing Dynasty that Huguang filled Sichuan. Sichuan has a very good geographical position and is suitable for agricultural production. As early as the Southern Song Dynasty, the population of Sichuan was about 6.5438+million, which contributed a lot of tax revenue to the Southern Song Dynasty court. Only after the demise of the Song Dynasty, the Yuan army attacked Sichuan, which was destroyed by the war, and the population suddenly dropped to several hundred thousand. The Yuan government did not manage Sichuan, nor did it want to adjust the population. By the Ming dynasty, the Ming government realized that a place as big as Sichuan was too small in population, so it organized people around Sichuan to move to Sichuan, which was also the early Huguang filling Sichuan movement.

As can be seen from the above, Sichuan can be regarded as an immigrant province. Most people immigrated from neighboring provinces. Although Sichuan has suffered so much, it is now a very developed province.
