摘要:
蒙元對中國的征服帶來了一種新的軍事動員方式。與宋朝的市場化動員方式不同,蒙元的制度建立在一個龐大的自給自足和自我復製的世襲軍戶群體之上。此制度被代替蒙元的明朝繼承,並成為了衛所制度。這種非貨幣化軍士動員和管理制度使得元明兩朝在初期能夠以極低的成本組織龐大的軍隊,並為他們的成功做出了巨大貢獻。然而,長期的社會經濟變動與不斷變化的軍事需求改變了戰爭的性質,最終迫使元明兩朝採用其他的軍事動員方式。以往學者經常將這種轉變解釋為傳統軍事機構的崩潰,但本研究認為國家在促進和適應這種轉變方面發揮了重要作用。在體制和財政的約束下,元明兩朝積極實施維持軍隊的政策,並非常成功的應對了軍隊內部的問題。

Abstract: 
This project explores the introduction of a new method of military mobilization to China by the Mongol-Yuan, its subsequent adoption by the succeeding Ming dynasty, and the long-term consequences of this adoption. Unlike the Song, which utilized a marketized method of mobilization, the Mongol-Yuan and the Ming employed a demonetized mode of military service that was premised upon the creation and maintenance of self-sufficient and self-replicating hereditary military households. This allowed the Yuan and Ming states to initially field large armies at very little cost and contributed greatly to their success. However, long-term socio-economic changes altered the nature of military warfare, eventually forcing both the Yuan and the Ming to adopt other forms of military mobilization. While scholars have often interpreted this transition as a sign of the collapse of traditional military institutions, my project argues that the state played a major role in facilitating and adapting to this transition. Operating within institutional and fiscal constraints, the Yuan and Ming states worked actively to implement policies that kept the military afloat and that it was quite successful in responding to the challenges within the military.
