Abstract

The Ningshan mutiny, a revolt of recent recruits at the Ningshan Green Standard garrison in Shaanxi in 1806, provides a useful case for exploring changing conceptions of military authority in the early nineteenth-century Qing empire. Focusing on contrasting explanations for the mutiny from the immediate aftermath of the mutiny and the Daoguang reign (1821-1850), this article argues that the first half of the nineteenth century saw a growing embrace among statecraft thinkers, military officers, and the Qing court of what Max Weber referred to as charismatic authority. Rather than posing a threat to central control and military discipline, charismatic officers—including the former brigade general of Ningshan, Yang Fang—were viewed as a potential solution to the structural problems facing the Green Standards, the largely Han branch of the Qing military.
重写宁陕兵变:19世纪初清帝国军事权威观念的转变
1806年发生在陕西宁山绿旗卫戍部队新兵起义的宁山兵变,为探索19世纪初清帝国军事权威观念的变化提供了一个有益的案例。本文主要从兵变的直接影响和道光统治时期(1821-1850)对兵变的不同解释进行对比,认为19世纪上半叶见证了治国思想家、军官和清廷对马克思·韦伯所说的魅力权威的日益接受。而不是对中央控制和军事纪律构成威胁,有魅力的军官,包括前宁山旅将军杨芳,被视为潜在的解决面临的结构问题的绿色标准,主要是清朝军队的汉族分支。

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.
