"Wu Bian", a military work of the Ming Dynasty, was compiled by Tang Shunzhi. This book was compiled in Jiajing, Ming Dynasty. At that time, the military preparedness of the Ming Dynasty was depleted, the generals wore light furs slowly, and the army developed the habit of being lazy and slow. It was only in the name of training simple soldiers, but without the use of strong soldiers. When there was a war, they would be hooded, timid, and had no fighting ability. Tang Shunzhi was inspired by this, and in order to revitalize military equipment, he searched extensively and compiled information that was helpful to military equipment from the military books of the past dynasties and other historical books. "All the ways to control soldiers, the right time and place, the method of attacking and defending, the shape of virtual and real strength, the degree of advance and retreat, the power of spies, the order of camp formations, and the need for boats, vehicles, and firearms are all indispensable."
