After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, where did the prisoners of Ningguta go?

In many Qing Dynasty plays, the emperor often sent people who "came back from the dead, and the sins of life cannot be escaped" to Ningguta, so that they would never return to Beijing for the rest of their lives. So Ninguta is in**? Is it really as frightening and extremely cold as in the TV series?

Ningguta is located in Ning'an City, Mudanjiang City, Heilongjiang Province. In Manchu, Ning'an means Ningguta.

Why did Nininguta become an exile for felons? Why did some prisoners, when they heard that they were going to be exiled to Ningguta, prefer to fend for themselves rather than go to the cold land?

During the Tang and Song dynasties, criminals were generally distributed in the south, such as Guangdong, Guizhou, Fujian and other places. At that time, these places were sparsely populated and undeveloped, and there was not a single place to distribute. They were assigned to reform, and they suffered more suffering and more crimes.

The southern cities of the Qing Dynasty were well developed. Of course, in order to choose another place for criminals, Ninggu Tower is far away from the capital, and it is a bitter cold place. Since 1636 A.D., Huang Taiji was proclaimed emperor in Shenyang, and the founding of the Qing Dynasty began, and most of the founding achievements entered the customs with him, and they all enjoyed the glory and wealth of a prosperous place.

However, Ningguta, as the land of Longxing in the Qing Dynasty, must be guarded and built by someone. Therefore, the imperial court put the criminals who committed serious crimes into Ningguta and enslaved the armored people who guarded the bitter cold land. In fact, this is also a disguised welfare, which is used to appease and reward these soldiers who guard Heilongjiang, Jilin and other bitter cold areas.

In fact, Ningguta itself is not so terrifying, the mountains are towering, the resources are abundant, even if the weather is cold, it does not make people want to die when they hear it. Mainly because of the exile of Ningguta, the road was very long and the conditions were difficult, and I don't know how many hardships I had to go through along the way. Most of the people would die halfway through, either by jackals and leopards, or by people who starved to death, in short, not many people made it to Ningguta.

Even if the fate is great, when you get to Ningguta, you have to do all kinds of hard labor: building roads, bridges, clearing wasteland, farming, and even becoming a serf, giving local cattle and horses. It is difficult for them to know how many prisoners they will get here, or some background of life.

It is more difficult for them to suffer these humiliations than to die.

By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the prisoners were not released to Ningguta, but were exiled to Xinjiang.

Because of the system at that time, some prisoners died before they arrived in Ningguta, and some had to work when they arrived in Ningguta, and those who did it were coolies, so few people did not survive, and in the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the prisoners were no longer sent to Ningguta, but exiled to Xinjiang.

Before the fall of the Qing Dynasty, there were friends who pooled money to redeem them, and of course there were very few people who fled back, and after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, most of the exiles had settled down in Ningguta and had children.

After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the prisoners of Ningguta may return to their hometowns, or they may settle there, after all, the Qing Dynasty has fallen, and no one can control their whereabouts.
