An important military system in ancient times - the sixteen-guard system.
The sixteen-guard system is an advanced stage of the guard-government system, and it is also the crystallization of the Sui and Tang military system. The establishment of the Weifu system was one of the measures taken by Emperor Wu of Northern Zhou and Emperor Wen of Sui to strengthen the centralization of power. It integrated the system of forbidden soldiers and government soldiers, and unified their grassroots organizations, the leading bodies of the military government, into one guard.
This kind of guard is not only the grassroots organization of the government soldiers, but also the institution in charge of the suku guard in the capital. The sixteen-guard system refers to the 16 guards set up in the capital area, which are responsible for the guards and city defense. The forces of these guards were directly appointed and managed by the emperor, thus ensuring the emperor's control and rule over the capital area.
During the Northern Dynasty period, the ability of the central government to rule was greatly reduced due to the expansion of local power and the weakening of centralized power. In order to solve this problem, Emperor Wudi of Northern Zhou established the Weifu system in the official reform, integrating the forbidden and prefectural military systems into one, unified management and control of the army, and strengthened the control of the central government over the localities.
During the Sui Dynasty, in order to further strengthen the centralization of power, Emperor Wen Yang Jian reformed and improved the Weifu system and created the Sixteen Wei System. This system integrated the system of forbidden soldiers and government soldiers, strengthened control and rule over the capital, weakened the power of local tycoons, and thus promoted the stability of the central government.
The Sui and Tang dynasties were a period of political, economic, cultural and other developments in Chinese history. The implementation of the sixteen-guard system not only has a significant effect in the military, but also promotes the development of urban construction and military engineering, promotes economic and commercial prosperity, and promotes cultural prosperity and exchange. Therefore, the sixteen-guard system was an important driving force for the political, economic, cultural and military development of the Sui and Tang dynasties.
The emergence of the sixteen-guard system further strengthened the centralization of power during the Sui and Tang dynasties. Its implementation made the army more stable, and also allowed the emperor to control the security and order in the capital area more effectively. At the same time, it has also become an important reference for the reform of the military system in later generations.
In short, the sixteen-guard system is a very important military system in ancient China, which integrates the forbidden and prefectural military systems into one, unifies them as guards, and sets up 16 guards in the capital area to be responsible for the suku guard and city defense.
Its implementation further strengthened the centralization of power in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and also provided an important reference for the reform of the military system in later generations. We should cherish this history, seriously study and understand its historical value, draw wisdom and enlightenment from it, and promote the continuous progress of our country's military system.
