明福建巡抚许孚远“招还贩番百姓”考略(1593~1594)

Study of Fujian Governor Xu Fuyuan's Order to Evacuate Chinese Merchants,1593-1594

万历壬展战争促使明延重新调整海洋政策,进而导致万历二十一年初明廷通令沿海地区申严海禁。福建巡抚许孚远上疏请开海禁,故此本年八月初一日明廷准许恢复开海通商。许孚远随后责令属官颁布告示允许旅居海外的华人(商民)搭乘商船返回,又批行秦经国选派海商前往马尼拉招回寓居此地的华人。翌年五月,招回华人行动圆满完成。官方招回海外华人是防止民众内外勾连煽乱思路的延伸,由此也体现出晚明闽南濒海社会秩序变动的一个侧面。

The Imjin War prompted the Ming government to readjust its maritime policy.A strict sea ban was proclaimed in the coastal areas at the beginning of 1593.At the request of Fujian Governor Xu Fuyuan,the court allowed maritime trade to resume on the first day of the eighth lunar month in the same year.Xu further gave notice to overseas Chinese merchants,ordering them to sail back home.He also initiated an operation to evacuate the Chinese population of Manila that was success fully completed in the fifth lunar month of the following year,1594.These initiatives aimed to prevent collusion between the domestic coastal residents,overseas diaspora,and foreigners to subvert the Ming order.
