蜀汉镇戍都督论略

A Note on the Defensive Military Officer in the Kingdom of Shu Han of the Three Kingdom Period

蜀汉镇戍都督是在刘备平定益州后普遍设置的。当时没有汉中都督、降都督、永安都督、江州都督。由于设置了这些镇戍都督，便在蜀汉国家的南方、北方、东方构成了比较稳固的防卫体系。这种镇戍都督是具有中央兼地方双重特征的军事官员。他以所任将军职作为等级划分的标准。镇戍都督“假节”是为了加重其地位。他统率的是国家镇戍军队。镇戍都督设置后，蜀汉国家在防卫曹魏和孙吴方面，具有了稳固的防御能力，同时，也是蜀汉对曹魏进攻作战的保证。并且，南中少数民族地区成为蜀汉政权的可靠后方，也与镇戍都督的设置，有着密不可分的联系。

The position of Shu Han Defensive Military Officer was set up by Liu Bei after he occupied Yi Zhou. The arrangement set up a stable defensive system in the south,north, and east parts of the Kingdom of Shu Han. The defensive military officer was the officer with national and local characters. He was the commander-in-chief of the national defensive armies. The defensive force of the Kingdom of Shu Han had been increased stably since the settlement of the Officer. It also strengthened the fighting forces of Shu Han against Cao Wei and relevantly made the areas of minorities in south and central China become the secure rear of Shu Han Regime.
