宋代军需供应的商品化

The Commercialization of Munitions Provision in Song Dynasty

在古代,以粮草为主的军需品供应状况通常是影响战争胜负的决定性因素。宋代以前,军需供应与传统农业紧密结合。入宋以后,社会经济特别是商品经济的发展、军事技术的进步、军制的变化以及战事的频繁等一系列因素,致使军需供应脱离了与传统农业的密切联系,转而与商品经济的关系日益紧密,出现了军需供应的商品化现象。

In ancient times of China, the provision of munitions especially rations and forage was the decisive factor in wining or failure during the war. Before Song Dynasty, the provision of munitions was linked with traditional agriculture. After the foundation of Song Dynasty, a series of elements, such as the development of social economy especially the commodity economy, the progress of military technology and the innovation of the military system, made the munitions provision break away from agriculture and form closer relations with commodity economy, which finally led to the commercialization of munitions provision in Song Dynasty.
