In Foreign Armies, Institutional And The Southern Liusong Council

Great changes have taken place in South Dynasties in ancient China, such as the frequent supersede of regime from Southern Song to Southern Chen, the variation of emperor's power in each dynasty, the reversion of the central political power from the clan political to the power of emperor. However, ZhongJun and WaiJun took a very crucial role among all the political affairs. The study on the troops and its constitution in South Dynasties has significant sense.ZhongJun and WaiJun origined from Wei Dynasty. In South Dynasties, their connotation changed a lot because of the emperor's power's reinforcement and other reasons. ZhongJun meaned the part of center troops whose responsibility were defense the security of emperors and capital. Its main sector was so-called LiuJun leaded by LingJun General and HuJun General. WaiJun included the part of troops that leaded by Dudus and all the local troops. Both ZhongJun and WaiJun were changing on and on, especially the conversed each other.In this article, I explored the source of soldiers in the Southern Song Dynasty , the army force's constitution of ZhongJun and WaiJun , the regional groups and their transition, in order to seek the contents and features of ZhongJun and WaiJun's-interaction system and its influence on Liu Song's political complexion.In the later East-Jin Dynasty, there was cleavage between kin-nobleman and emperor power during their clan political co-reign. Former BeiFu general, Liu Yu, defeated Huan Xuan, achieving the course of establishing Southern Song Dynasty. " YiXi" Political period was Liu Yu's preparation of subverting Jin and establishing Song, as well as the process of founding ZhongJun and WaiJun System. Such system created by Liu Yu, in which there were too many leakage, finally led emperor power of "JingPing" to be impaired. JingZhou CiShi, Liu Yilong,governed JianKang by controlling WaiJun and created a new prohibitive regime based on the JingZhong veteran, then a comparatively sophisticated ZhongJun and WaiJun's-interaction system came into being with the ensuing outcome "YuanJia" period. WenDi's political fault and situational changes resulted in the collapse of "YuanJia" regime and ZhongJun and WaiJun 's-interaction system as well.JiangZhou CiShi, Liu Jun, captured the emperor's position and re-established ZhongJun of the new dynasty, mainly by virtue of soldiers in YongZhou. But he was so challenged by tribes and other regional groups that he couldn't fulfill the process of ZhongJun and WaiJun's-interaction. The relationship between ZhongJun and WaiZhun got worse and worse in Xiaowu Di's time. When MingDi came into power, he took many steps to stabilize his ascendancy, only leading the army forces run out of emperor power's control. Finally, minister Xiao Daochen subverted the Southern Song Dynasty and founded the Southern Qi Dynasty.An eventually view on Liu Song's political told us that a perfect system of ZhongJun and WaiJun's-interaction hasn't came into being at all, because there were many contradictions in the process which the tyranny regime can't solve. Although, ZhongJun and WaiJun's-interaction appeared every now and then. In this circumstance, the army force's constitution in Song Dynasty transformed a lot, the regional groups transformed as well. The stability of Liu Song's political has a lot to do with the extent and mode of ZhongJun and WaiJun's-interaction, as well as many policy's draw up and apply. Furthermore, the emperor power of Liu Song's political amplified constantly in the process.
