摘要
唐代藩镇首先作为军镇存在,学界对其军事问题的探讨,已经取得丰硕成果,涉及面甚广。相比于东洋学界,国内学者在藩镇军事制度层面建树尤多,并且侧重于整体性的专题研究[1]。本文将以个案探讨的方式,以唐后期一度十分活跃的藩镇淮西镇为对象,按其发展、演变划分为五个阶段,分析兵源、兵种、兵力数量等问题,并在此基础上,以若干战役为例,对其战斗力的强弱展开深入探讨。
The evolution of Huaixi army was divided into five stages:the period of An Lushan’s rebellion,the period of Li Zhongchen’s garrison,the period of Li Xilie’s rule,the period of Wu Shaocheng and Wu Shaoyang’s garrison,the period of Wu Yuanji’s rebellion.From the start of Li Zhongchen period,Huaixi army stepped into a new stage of development,such as the governors,the sources of troops,the types of troops and even the ability for fighting.The total number of troops of Huaixi in the war during the Yuanhe reign was believed between seventy thousand to eighty thousand.
