During the Jiajing period of Ming Shizong, the camp government was abolished as before, and there were only more than 50,000 soldiers left in the Beijing camp

Governor's Battalion. In the fifteenth year of Jiajing, the imperial court of the imperial history was appointed to supervise the regimental camp, and his views on the camp affairs at that time,

It is quite pertinent: first, most of the sergeants were pulled by the imperial court, nobles, and military ministers to serve in the work, not like martial arts, but with the field

Husband is no different. Second, when the soldiers reached the age, they should be replaced by their children, but the officials went up and down to ask for heavy bribes.

Fill the camp with poor old and weak soldiers. Third, wealthy soldiers were reluctant to participate in battalion drills and training, and bribed generals and generals

The name is listed in the hometown. Although the language was to the point, soon the palaces of the nine temples in the suburbs of the imperial court were built and the Beijing camp was built

All are inclined to work. In the middle of Jiajing, the border police were still frequent, and only 30,000 cavalry were selected, which were still divided into east and west official halls.

Conduct drills. In the twenty-ninth year of Jiajing, the Gengxu Change, the Tatar army came to the city of Beijing, and there were only five sergeants in the Beijing camp

60,000 people were driven out of the city to face the battle, "all of them did not dare to go forward, and the generals also looked at each other and changed color" ("History of the Ming Dynasty")

Volume 90 "Chronicles of the Soldiers"). Yan Song, a university scholar, was responsible for the reform of the regimental camp system.

This reform is to dismiss the regimental battalions and the two official offices, and restore the old system of the three battalions. The 3,000 battalion was renamed the Shenshu Battalion. Set up

There will be 1 person, called the governor of Jingying Rongzheng, and 1 Wenchen, called the assistant Jingying martial administration. 2 adjutant generals of the 5th military battalion,

There are 4 staff generals and 4 guerrilla generals. There are 2 Shenshu and Shenji deputy generals, and 6 auxiliary generals. Soon it increased again

The generals who can fight, 6 generals who are called Lian Yong, and 1 deputy general who has been removed from the Shenshu and Shenji. 12 battalions, two halls, and divisions

The sentinels were all dismissed. He also sent 4 people to recruit troops in Jifu, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan, and obtained 40,000 people.

Divided into Shenshu, Shenji Battalion, the three battalions of the general's command, the soldiers of the three battalions, on weekdays called the practice of bravery, when there is a war, the name of the post is determined.

The five military battalions have 1 general and 10,000 commanders, and are in charge of the three battalions of deputy officers, staff, guerrillas, auxilia, and battalions;

2 adjutant generals, 7,000 for each army; 4 generals on the left and right, 6,000 troops each; 4 guerrillas, each under their command

Bing 3000. 66,660 foreign troops. Shenshu battalion, 2 adjutant generals, 6000 troops each; 6 members, each

Commander 3000. 40,000 foreign soldiers. The same goes for the Divine Pivot Camp. In Beijing, all the guards are subordinate to three battalions.

During the Longqing period, some officials believed that the three battalions of hundreds of thousands of troops were unified in the hands of one person, which was not in line with the Ming Taizu,

During the time of Taizong, the government was divided into battalions with the original intention of decentralization, so the three battalions were not subordinate to each other, and each set up a general soldier (and changed

Called the Admiral), and added three civil ministers, since the establishment of the six Admirals, each has its own opinions, disputes are unresolved,

had to be dismissed, and the governor was still placed and the assistant minister was replaced.

Since then, the battalion system has not changed much, and there have only been additions and losses in the setting of officials. During the Chongzhen period, the camp has been exhausted

Yu Zhongguan. When he went to war, he gave generous treatment, bullied the soldiers, and broke the morale of the army. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the battalion will be all inside

Prison private, do not understand military affairs, the battalion soldiers are just injected with food, buy people and hire soldiers, and go to the first and the second. Emperor Chongzhen repeatedly

Strict training was required, but there were only two or three hundred people who practiced every day, and before dusk, the people had dispersed. Chongzhen asked

Wang Jiayan, the military department attendant who was the assistant to the Beijing camp Rongzheng, how can he revive the camp affairs, Wang Jiayan said that "it is too late"

(History of the Ming Dynasty, Volume 90, "Soldiers"). In the eighteenth year of Chongzhen (1644), Li Zicheng led the rebel army to attack

Beijing City, to Shahe, the Beijing army went to battle, before the battle, heard the sound of artillery has collapsed, the rebel army drove straight

Entered, the Beijing army defending the city was only 3,000 people, the city fell, and the Ming Dynasty perished.

The Jingying was not directly in charge of the emperor's guards, and the 12 guards were set up as the emperor's pro-army, not subordinate to the five armies
