为万历抗倭援朝明军将士正名——孙卫国著《“再造藩邦”之师:万历抗倭援朝明军将士群体研究》评介

Restoring the Reputation of the Ming Army in the Imjin War:A Review of Sun Weiguo’s Army Saving the Vassal State:A Group Study of the Ming Army in the Imjin War

有鉴于清官修《明史》故意抹煞明东征将士功绩、日韩学者又故意丑化,孙卫国教授费十余年精力,著成《“再造藩邦”之师:万历抗倭援朝明军将士群体研究》一书。该书从“东亚视野”出发,参考多方史料,以明东征将士群体为研究对象,考订出明东征将士有23万余人次,主要来自明九边兵、京营兵、南兵、水兵,系明军最精锐部队;同时以明军主要将领为研究线索,将明军战绩、重大战役、基本问题、历史脉络等熔于一炉,彰显明军将士的主导作用,肯定东征将士的历史功绩。该书在万历抗倭援朝战争研究领域,驳斥外国学者的谬论,增强中国学界的话语权。

In view of the fact that the achievements of the Ming army in the Imjin War to resist Japan and aid Choseon Korea were deliberately obliterated in Ming History compiled by Qing officials and deliberately vilified by the Japanese and Korean scholars,Professor Sun Weiguo spent more than ten years writing the book Army Saving the Vassal State:A Study of the Ming Army in the Imjin War,which has important academic value.From“the perspective of East Asia”and based on various historical materials,this book studies the Ming army in the eastward expedition and confirms that there were more than 230000 generals and soldiers altogether participating in this military aid,mainly from Nine Frontier Forces,Central Garrison Forces,Southern Troops and Sailors of the Ming dynasty.These were the most elite armed forces in the Ming dynasty.And taking the main generals as the research subject,this book covers the Ming army’s achievements,major campaigns,basic problems and historical events,highlights the leading role of the Ming army and affirms their achievements in the Imjin war,which effectively refutes the fallacies of foreign scholars and enhances the discourse power of Chinese academic circles in the study of the Imjin war.
