唐安西都护府驻军研究

Research in Stationed Troops of the An'xi Western Protectorate during Tang Dynasty

唐王朝在安西都护府的驻军,从武后朝起,常年驻有二至三万人,绝大部分是来自内地州县的府兵,且以雍、蒲、坊等州府兵居多。他们以原籍为建制组成为行营,如蒲州河东郡来的府兵或募兵,便组成河东郡行营,其活动在吐鲁番文书和库木吐喇石刻中有较多的反映。行营的建制大体相当于府兵团的编制。安西驻军的任务:一是对入侵之敌或内部叛乱进行征讨;二是在安西四镇及其下二级镇全面派军镇守,协助地方防务;三是屯田,为驻军提供后勤供给保障。

The troops stationed to the An'xi Western Protectorate during the Tang Dynasty numbered 20 or 30 thousand people from the reign of empress Wu Zetian(624-705A.D),a better part of them from peasant soldiers of prefectures and counties in inner land dominated by peasant solders from prefecture of Yong,Pu and Fang.They set up field headquarters based on their native land,such as: peasant soldiers or conscripted soldiers from Hedong county,Fu Prefecture to make up Hedong-county field headquarter,whose activities are mirrored in Turpan documents and Kumtura Rock paintings.The field-headquarter organization is roughly equal to that of peasant soldier corps.The troops were assigned a task to subjugate invading enemy or internal rebel;garrison four An'xi towns and its secondary towns to assist in local defence and reclaim field to offer rear-service security for stationed troops.
