Vol 10 Chapter 12: Research on Hu Qiang Colonel II

According to the "Han Shu Biography of Liu Xin", after Liu Xin was the governor of the three counties (Hanoi, Wuyuan, and Zhuo counties), he became the commander of the Anding vassal state, which was very common at that time.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, many captains of Qiang were directly transferred by the governor of Bianjun. For example, Fu Yu was appointed by the governor of Wuwei, Zhang Wei was appointed by the governor of Longxi, Deng Xun was appointed by the governor of Zhangye, Nie Shang was appointed by the governor of Shu County, Shi Chong was appointed by the governor of Hanyang, and Hou Ba was appointed as the governor of Shu. Transferred by the Governor of Jincheng.

According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Xiandi Ji", the five-year imperial edict of Jian'an stated: "The three princes of the imperial edict raise two people to be filial piety, one each from Jiuqing, the captain of the school, and the minister of the state.

The "campus captain" here includes captains with various titles.

The arrangement in this order reflects the position of the captain. Although its rank is the same as or slightly lower than that of the governor of the county, the ranking is second only to Jiuqing and in front of the governor.

Protecting the Qiang Colonel holds the festival and respects the authority.

When it was initially set up, it reflected the temporary nature of the task. Later, it highlighted its contingency function in military struggles. It was able to mobilize and command the prefects of Bianjun, commanders, and garrison troops.

The army commanded by the Huqiang Colonel (the Huqiang Colonel Camp) is the main guarantee for the exercise of this power.

The composition of the army and the number of soldiers mentioned in the historical materials are quite different, and it is necessary to clarify.

The Han Dynasty Central Army North Army Zhongyue Cavalry, Changshui, Hu Cavalry Commander.

In the establishment of the army, the captain of the school is second only to the general. Since the generals who commanded the army in the early Western Han Dynasty did not usually have troops, they sent generals when they had tasks. Therefore, the school led by the captain was the largest in the standing establishment. army unit.

The number of soldiers is fixed. Regarding the specific organization of the army in the Han Dynasty, according to "Continuation of the Book of the Han Dynasty: One Hundred Officials' Records": "The leaders of the army all have episodes.

Five divisions of the general battalion, one captain and one captain, more than two thousand stones

The military Sima alone is more than Qianshi.

His subordinates have Qu, and Qu has a soldier who is worth 600 shi, and there is a colony under Qu, and a colonel chief is worth 200 shi.

It does not have a school captain, but the army Sima alone. "The army is organized according to the army, the department, the song, and the tun.

When a school captain is established, the school captain will lead the department, and when there is no school captain, the Sima will lead the department, which is very flexible.

The literature records that each department (school) has about 1,000 people.

"Historical Records: The Biography of General Wei's Hussars" states: Huo Qubing "received the command of the great general, and was ordered to join a strong man, to plagiarize Yao Xiaowei, and Qingyong to ride eight hundred straight away from the army for hundreds of miles to Li." Eight hundred people from a school .

"The Biography of Li Ling in the Book of Han" contains: Li Ling, as a cavalry commander, "will be brave with 5,000 people."

From the point of view of equipment and combat effectiveness, the troops led by Huo Qubing and Li Ling could be called the elites of the Han army, and they were all regular troops, with 800 to 1,000 being the normal formation of a school.

In addition, "Han Shu Zhao Chongguo Biography" contains: "Nine schools of infantry, with ten thousand officials and officials." There are more than a thousand people in one school.

In 1978, a batch of wooden slips from the Western Han Dynasty were unearthed in Sunjiazhai, Datong, Qinghai. Most of the contents belonged to the military aspect. Although scholars at different levels of the military have different views, the number of people from 800 to 1,000 in a school is basically the same.

The army commanded by Colonel Hu Qiang (the Colonel Camp of Hu Qiang) is the frontier troops stationed in the frontier directly under the central government.

There are also some differences in the composition and number of troops from the Central Guards.

General troops:

"Jiangtun", according to "Historical Records · Fu Kuan Biography": "Relocated to the country of the Prime Minister, Jiangtun. At the age of two, he was the Prime Minister of the generation, and Jiangtun."

Pei Si's "Jiejie": "Like Chunri: 'Since it is a prime minister, if there is a policeman, he will lead and guard it.' Case: The law says that the army should be restrained and the sun should be guarded."

"Han Book Zhao Chongguo Biography" contains: "Move the generals of Zhonglang, and the generals will be stationed in Shanggu."

"General troops" and "Tunbing" are field troops stationed in border counties.

This kind of general garrison is mainly composed of garrison soldiers. After the Eastern Han Dynasty, the number of garrison soldiers decreased, and a large number of recruits and prisoners were used.

The generals in the military camp directly under the Hu Qiang school lieutenant, and the regular army is composed of garrison soldiers, recruits and prisoners.

According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Deng Xun's Biography", after Zhang Hao killed Jiang Qiang indiscriminately and caused the Qiang People's Uprising, in the first year of Emperor Yongyuan's reign (89), Deng Xun took the place of guarding the Qiang colonel. , emptying the house."

These 20,000 soldiers are the number of soldiers during the war.

After Deng Xun appeased the rebellious Qiang, "then stopped the army, and each ordered to return to the prefecture.

Only set up more than 2,000 prisoners, and divide the fields to cultivate the poor people and repair the walls of the city. "

It can be seen that more than 2,000 people are of the usual size, mainly prisoners.

The rest of the garrison sent by the army and the recruited soldiers paid for were all dismissed.

Frontier Knights of the County System:

The border soldiers of the county system return to the command of the prefect of border county.

The composition of these armies is complex, but the number of them is large enough to stand alone.

"Continuation of the Book of Han, History of Hundred Officials Five" is annotated in "Han Guan Yi", which states: "The prefects of Bianjun will have ten thousand cavalry, blocking the beacon and chasing the prisoners."

Bianjun prefects are often referred to as "prefecture generals", and the prefecture's office is also called "Mo (shogun) mansion".

During the Western Han Dynasty, the prefect of Bianjun often served as a general and led troops to participate in the war.

According to the "Han Shu Xuandi Ji": in the second year of the first year (72 BC), Tian Shun, the prefect of Yunzhong, was the general of Huya, and he led the army to attack the Xiongnu in the north together with other generals.

In the first year of Shenjue (61 BC), the Western Qiang rebelled and worshipped Xin Wuxian, the prefect of Jiuquan, as the general of the Po Qiang, and the strong crossbow general Xu Yanshou and other leaders cooperated with the general Zhao Chongguo to pacify the Qiang.

According to "Han Book Feng Fengshi Biography": In the second year of Yongguang Emperor Yuan's reign (before 42), Han Anguo, the prefect of Dingxiang, was appointed as General Jianwei, leading 10,000 troops to assist Feng Fengshi, the right general, in pacifying the Qiang Rebellion.

Since the early Eastern Han Dynasty "stopping the border county pavilion to wait for the official to die", its source of troops mainly relies on recruiting, relaxing prisoners and barbarian soldiers for the defense of the border county.

However, whenever there is an emergency in the border county, it still recruits troops in the county just like the Western Han Dynasty.

Most of the soldiers in the frontier county were cavalry troops, which had strong independence and combat effectiveness in the frontier guards, and the number was also large.

Due to the unstoppable chaos in the Qiang, the northwest border county often cooperates with the captain of the Qiang to fight.

According to the "Book of the Later Han Dynasty, Biography of the Western Qiang": in the first year of Emperor Zhanghe (87), Fu Yu sent a letter to the imperial court to send 20,000 soldiers from various counties to attack Miwu; The soldiers cooperated with Fu Yu to fight.

It can be seen that the army of the county system often plays a very important role in the war~www.wuxiamtl.com~The field soldiers of the field system:

The field soldiers, also known as "field soldiers" or "guardian soldiers", are armed forces that "barrack the fields with barracks" and cultivate and defend them.

They have their own system, which is managed by Dasinong in the center; there is a special field organization in the border county.

"Bianjun set up the agricultural capital, and the main farmland was cultivated."

Different from garrisoning and garrisoning operations, they focused on farming and farming, with the goal of accumulating military supplies and developing and controlling frontier areas.

During the reign of Emperor Wu, the largest number of people in the northwest were "600,000".
