A Research On The Battalions And Related Issues In The Military System Of Provinces, Towns And Regions In The Ming Dynasty

When the Ming Dynasty was established,in addition to setting up guard stations,it set up camps across the country.The battalions in the military system of the provinces and towns in the Ming Dynasty were the six types of battalions set up by the Ming Dynasty in the north,east coast,southwest frontier,and hinterland: It is an army garrison under the name of a battalion,the second is an organization unit of the army,the third is the establishment of the army,the fourth is a military premises,the fifth is a camp for geographical names,and the sixth is a Tuntian organization named after the battalion.The battalions in the military system of the provinces and towns in the Ming Dynasty and the barracks that appeared in the middle and late Ming Dynasty are two completely different concepts.The two are only related in some aspects.The establishment of various battalions in the provinces and towns of the Ming Dynasty is closely related to the actual military needs.It is set according to time and situation,so the setting of each regional battalion is different.In the end of the Ming Dynasty,the border area of the Jiubian area in the Ming Dynasty continued to suffer.Compared to other areas,the defensive pressure was always heavier.Therefore,the battalions in the Jiubian area were the earliest in the country,and the type and number were the highest in the country.Of typical.In order to prevent the invasion of pirates in the coastal areas,the northern coastal battalions were mainly set up during the Yong and Xuan periods;the southeastern coastal battalions were mainly concentrated during the Jia,Long,and Wan periods.There are many ethnic minorities both inside and outside the Southwest.After the Jiajing period,battalions were set up here.One was outside the country to resist foreign aggression,and the other was inside the country to stabilize local public order.In the hinterland,the main tasks are to protect the local public security,such as guarding patrols,inspecting mine robbers and banning thieves,and to set up camps in other places.After the establishment of various battalions in provinces and towns in the Ming Dynasty,their subsequent development and evolution were also different.At the beginning of the establishment of each battalion in the Jiubian area,its army mainlycame from the health guards and was restrained by the guards.After the establishment of the provincial and town battalion system,the battalions of the nine borders have always existed due to defensive pressure,so each battalion may continue to be under the jurisdiction of the guards.,Or belong to the provincial and township barracks system,the number of which depends on the defensive pressure in various places.Coastal battalions have gradually reduced their overall defensive pressure after the crisis has gradually subsided.At the same time,the continued use of troops in other parts of the country,coupled with financial constraints,has to a certain extent the abolition of excessive coastal battalions and troops.In the southwest,from the Wanli until the Qi and Dai periods,ethnic minority resistance continued,and the number of each battalion itself was small,so the number of battalions increased to a certain extent.In the hinterland,the battalions in the hinterland were far less than those in other areas in the initial setting.After the addition,the security of the battalions deteriorated.
