中华民族共同体意识下明代西南土司“应调从征”的军事贡献——以“保靖土司”为个案

The Military Contribution of the Southwest Tusi in the Ming Dynasty to the Military Expedition under the Consciousness of the Chinese National Community——Taking“Baojing Tusi”as a Case Study

明廷在西南少数民族地区实施土司制度,频繁地征调土司参与中央政府的军事战争,表现可谓是战功显赫,不仅维护了明廷政治稳定与国家统一,而且还大大提升了土司战斗力,形成了服务于战争的地方新习俗。这一系列的军事贡献推动了“西南蛮夷”融入中华民族共同体的历史进程,也推进了中华民族由“自在”共同体向“自觉”共同体的转变。

The Ming Dynasty implemented the Tusi system in the southwest ethnic minority areas,and frequently required Tusi to participate in the military war led by the central government,which can be described as a remarkable achievement in the war.It not only maintained the political stability of the Ming Dynasty and the unity of the country,but also greatly improved the Tusi’s combat effectiveness,and formed a new local custom serving the war.This series of military contributions had promoted the historical process of the integration of southwest ethnicminorities into the community of the Chinese nation,and also promoted the transformation of the Chinese nation froman“unrestrained”community to a“conscious”community.
