| In 1368,after the founding of the Ming Dynasty,Zhu Yuanzhang replaced the rule of Mongolian-Yuan in China.Therefore,the Mongolian-Han relationship became the most difficult problem during Ming dynasty.At the same time,the army from the north became the main threat to Ming dynasty.After the internal retreat of Dongshengwei,Ming Dynasty gradually lost the control of the Hetao region.With the continuous invasion of Mongolian forces,Ming Dynasty finally decided to abandon after repeated policies on Hetao region.Yansui,which was originally in the belly area,became a confrontation between Mongolia and Han.As its military strategic position has risen abruptly,it has become one of the nine important towns in Ming Dynasty defending the Mongols to south.With the rise of the military status of Yansui,the status of the soldiers in Yansui gradually became prominent in the process of contesting with the forces of Mongolia.That was said Zongbing Group of Yansui.This can be described as an era where stars are shining.The Zongbing group of Yansui became the mainstream of Ming Dynasty to resist the continuous invasion of Mongolian forces and even bred some generals from the same Family.This phenomenon has also aroused concern in academia.The Zongbing group of Yansui began to appear during Chenghua period,of which the Yulin Guard along the border was the most.Most of them joined the army to start with the succession of the post.Of cause,there were also graces,and a few were promoted by force and military service.After being promoted to the rank of chief of the army,they often held important positions in war-torn areas.Whether as an individual or a family,he basically defended and fought on the nine sides,coexisting and dying with Ming Dynasty.During this process,some generals from the same families were gradually formed.Among them,three generations and four generations of fathers and grandchildren were generals,and someWang,Du,You,Xiao,Zhang,etc.The formation of the Zongbing group and the emergence of the generals from the same family are closely related to the military system of Ming Dynasty,especially the military system under the Weisuo system.In addition,the geographic location and cultural customs of Yansui also plays an important role.Of course,it cannot be separated from the overall strong combat quality of Zongbing group. |
