Abstract

Qiu Jun (1421–1495) was an important Ming civil official who was also a prolific author. One of his works, the Daxue yanyi bu, devotes nineteen of its 160 chapters to military affairs. Qiu Jun puts particular emphasis on the importance of choosing the right commanders. The main body of this article consists of a translation of the passages from the Daxue yanyi bu dealing with rulers’ selection and management of military commanders. Qiu Jun’s opinions on the control and selection of generals are not always practicable, yet they shed considerable light on the Chinese state’s strategies to control the military, civil-military relations, and the military examination system in imperial China.
一个明代大臣关于控制和选拔军长的建议
邱钧(1421-1495)是明代重要的文官,也是一位多产的作家。他的著作《大学言义集》160章中有19章是讲军事的。邱军特别强调了选择合适的指挥官的重要性。本文的主体部分是对《大学言义集》中有关统治者选拔和管理军长的段落的翻译。邱军关于将军控制和选择的观点并不总是可行的,但它们对中国国家控制军队的策略、文武关系和帝制中国的军事考试制度有很大的启示。

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.
