What is the official position of the military in Chinese history?

Mondo History Updated on 2024-01-19

"Junmen" is an honorific title for some high-ranking military leaders in Chinese history. In the Ming Dynasty, it was an honorific title for governors and governors. In the Qing Dynasty, it was an honorific title for the highest green battalion commander of a province, the Admiral. Admirals are senior leaders who are responsible for commanding and managing the army, and their responsibilities include the management of the army's organization, training, equipment, military discipline, etc., as well as tasks such as external defense and operational command. In the Qing Dynasty, the admiral was a military attache of the first rank, and although he was a first-rank officer, the admiral would be subject to the restraint of the second-rank governor and governor of the station. In the Qing Dynasty, the admirals could be divided into land admirals, naval admirals and a full-time nine-gate admiral, and there were a total of 12 land commanders and three naval commanders (Yangtze River, Fujian, Guangdong). Therefore, the provincial governors and naval commanders, or the general soldiers with the rank of commander, can be called "military gates", and the title of the governor's part-time admiral is "Futai" is not called the military gate, and the admiral of the nine gates is responsible for the guard of the imperial city, and is generally served by the emperor's own cronies and important ministers, and is not called the military gate. In general, the "military gate" is a kind of high-level ** who is responsible for commanding and managing the army. They play an important role in military decision-making, war command, and local governance.

In Chinese history, there are many famous military gates, all of whom played an important role in their respective eras. Here are some examples:

Desheng Gate of the Ming Dynasty: Desheng Gate is a group of military defense buildings composed of city towers, arrow towers, gate towers and urn cities.

Arch of Constantine: The Arch of Constantine, built in 315 AD, is the latest of the three triumphal arches in Rome. It was built to celebrate Constantine the Great's complete victory over his powerful rival Maxenti in 312 AD and the unification of the empire.

Beifu Army: In the early years of Emperor Xiaowu of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xie Xuan formed and trained a Beifu army, which can be said to be a great hero in the battle of Weishui.

Camp Divine Machine: One of the three main forces of the capital in the Ming Dynasty, the Shenji Battalion, the Five Army Battalions, and the Three Thousand Battalions.

Back Army: The Beiwei Army of the Song Dynasty, in short, the elite unit of the Yuejia Army.

Cowardice: The cowardly Xue of the Yuan Dynasty, Genghis Khan requisitioned 10,000 elite soldiers from various Mongol tribes as the standing guard of the Great Khan, called "Cowardly Xue".

The above are just some of the famous military gates, in fact, in the long history of China, there are many other famous military gates, all of which have played an important role in their respective eras.

Here's what I found about the time when these military gates appeared:

Desheng Gate: It was built in the fourth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1371) and was expanded during the orthodox years.

Arch of Constantine: Built in 315 AD.

The Arc de Triomphe: Founded in 1825.
