Abstract

Abstract By examining actions taken to eliminate seaborne bandits, this study argues during the Ming Dynasty (1368–1644), everyday people and foreigners played important roles in military activities. When Guangdong native Lin Feng (also known as Limahong) roamed the seas from South China to Southeast Asia in the mid-1570s, officials searched far and wide for allies to confront him. Reevaluating this period in Chinese military history from the bottom-up and outside-in shows civil officials and military officers repeatedly found fishers, traders, and sailors, along with outsiders, who were willing to collaborate against the marauders. Historical records from the late Ming and Qing periods consistently presented this cooperation as a Sinocentric and hierarchical ritual-based recruiting. In contrast to this top-down and inside-out perspective, the present research illuminates that during the early modern period, the Chinese government was growing progressively dependent on sea-going peoples to reinforce its maritime operations.

《百年老字号与野蛮人打海盗:晚明海军作战的招募助手》
摘要本研究通过考察明朝(1368-1644)剿匪行动,认为在明朝(1368-1644),平民和外国人在军事活动中发挥了重要作用。16世纪70年代中期,当广东人林峰(又名利马洪)从中国南部到东南亚漫游时,官员们四处寻找盟友来对抗他。从自下而上和由外而内重新评估这一时期的中国军事史,会发现文官和军官不断发现渔民、商人和水手,以及外来者,他们愿意合作对抗掠夺者。明末和清末的历史记录始终如一地将这种合作描述为一种以中国为中心的、基于等级制度的招聘。与这种自上而下和由内而外的观点相反,本研究表明,在近代早期,中国政府越来越依赖于海民来加强其海上行动。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Chinese Military History (JCMH) is a peer-reviewed semi-annual that publishes research articles and book reviews. It aims to fill the need for a journal devoted specifically to China''s martial past and takes the broadest possible view of military history, embracing both the study of battles and campaigns and the broader, social-history oriented approaches that have become known as "the new military history." It aims to publish a balanced mix of articles representing a variety of approaches to both modern and pre-modern Chinese military history. The journal also welcomes comparative and theoretical work as well as studies of the military interactions between China and other states and peoples, including East Asian neighbors such as Japan, Korea, and Vietnam.
