明代滇西山乡“盗贼”治理研究——以铁索箐动乱为中心

The Study on the Management of Thieves in the Mountain Villages of Western Yunnan Province during the Ming Dynasty:Centering on the Tiesuoqing Rebellion

铁索箐“盗贼动乱”是明代滇西地区突出的社会问题,从当时的文献记载来看,“盗贼”问题已经威胁到民众的生命安全,造成社会动荡,并且还有不少的土官也卷入其中,严重危及明朝统治。为了消除“盗贼”,官府多次以军事手段对其进行打击,但“盗贼”仍滋生不断。嘉靖以后,官府通过剿抚结合的方式,于万历年间完成了对地方社会的控制和重塑。此事件的解决为我们理解明代滇西社会与王朝治理提供了新的方向。
