Explosive hammer tradition

The Ming Dynasty is one of the most famous dynasties in history. It created a military offensive to drive Mongolia northward. But in the later period, it became a poor and weak sandbag, which was beaten to pieces by Mongolia and even sent to the battlefield. To answer your question.

Let's be clear here, who is the common saying. In the Ming dynasty, people preferred to say "home", which means that the people raised at home were similar to the servants under the western knight system, and most of them had experienced military training since childhood, not ordinary servants.

The emergence of the servant-private army system is precisely due to the weakness of the Beijing army after the change of Minbao. Before the renovation of the civil fort, the military construction idea of Mingbei was to set up a field army, that is, the Beijing Army, with the capital as the core, and on this basis, to set up border guards in the border areas to be responsible for dealing with small-scale harassment, collecting intelligence, responding to and assisting the Beijing Army in wartime.

Strengthening the border guards is not just lip service. In the late Ming dynasty, the people needed money, and no one had money, so they could only hope that the border guards would raise private soldiers, so in the end they had to rely on servants to fight. Although good results have been achieved in a short time, in the long run, the central government's control over local areas has weakened and the strength of local troops has not been improved. Then Daikin rose, and the role that these people can send is not great.
