Recruitment of soldiers appeared when Zhu Yuanzhang raised troops to establish the Ming Dynasty. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the Wei system was established and the source of the army was guaranteed, so recruitment was basically no longer used. However, some special organizations in the guard still recruit soldiers, such as Xiaoqishenren, school captains, strong men, etc. These soldiers are affiliated with the Jinyi Guards and are different from the general guards. As mentioned before: In the Ming Dynasty, the military and civilians were different. "The military was a special system with its own military status. In the Ming Dynasty household registration, military status was parallel to civilian status and craftsman status. Military status belonged to the governor's office, and civilian status belonged to the Ministry of Industry. The military was not subject to ordinary administrators. The jurisdiction of officials is different from that of civilians in terms of identity, legal and economic status. The military and the civilians are completely separate. The military is hereditary, family-based and fixed. Once he joins the army, his family will always be in the army for generations and live in the designated guard station." Moreover, when a regular soldier becomes ill or flees, he has to go to his place of origin to be recruited and continue to serve as a supplementary soldier. If the regular soldier's family is completely wiped out. Then go to the place of origin to seduce the people of his tribe. Execute the so-called "hooking up the army", like this. The military households of the guard station have been fixed to the guard station for generations. In contrast, the situation of recruiting soldiers is much better. Recruiting soldiers has no special household registration, no pay, no hereditary status, and no fixed location. In addition, the armaments of the garrison at that time were depleted and the war was tight, so the recruitment system gradually developed. During the Hongwu and Yongle periods, the border situation was relatively stable. During the Zhu Yuanzhang period, the Ming army made several northern expeditions, basically eliminating the threat from the Mongolian forces, and deployed heavy troops in the north to actively carry out border defense construction. During the Yongle period, the country was strong and its border defenses were heavy. There were six Northern Expeditions, and offense was used as defense. Therefore, in the early Ming Dynasty, border troubles were not serious, and there was no need to recruit troops for this purpose. During the Renxuan period, the Tatar power declined, and the Ming Dynasty's border defense policy also shifted from offense to defense to maintain peace. During the Orthodox period, this relatively stable situation changed due to the rise of the Mongolian Oara tribe. In the 14th year of Zhengtong's reign, they also launched an internal invasion. Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty led his own troops to conquer the country, and the entire army was wiped out. From then on, the Ming Dynasty entered an era of frequent wars in the middle and late period. There were wars everywhere, border troubles occurred frequently, and the troops were insufficient, so they had to recruit troops. There is a record of recruiting soldiers in "Jiajing Youxi County Chronicle": "The new county government set up fields to support scholars in Kaifeng. Robbery broke out, and the people were very hostile, so they recruited strong soldiers to stick to it, and thieves never dared to invade." 5 This can also be seen that although the recruits at that time were not the most important sergeants, they also had very good combat effectiveness. Moreover, it is often needed in a turbulent society. If the recruitment of soldiers during the Hongwu and Yongle periods were minor repairs to the military system at that time and were only needed temporarily, then the recruitment after Xuande was different from that of the early Ming Dynasty. As border tensions escalated step by step and the guard system was increasingly weakened, recruitment became an important source of military strength and received more and more widespread attention. The recruitment of troops after Xuande was mostly carried out due to frequent border wars and insufficient troop strength. After the Tumu Incident, the Beijing army was completely defeated, and the Qinwang soldiers from various places could not reach the Ming Dynasty immediately, so they sent officials to recruit soldiers, so there was a large-scale recruitment. In the 14th year of Zhengtong's reign, he ordered people everywhere to recruit strong people, and ordered local officials to drill and call them when the police encountered them. In Zhubian Town, local soldiers were recruited. In September of the first year of Jingtai, officials were sent to Yansui towns to recruit 5,000 native soldiers. In August of the first year of Tianshun, civilians along the border were also selected as local soldiers. The treatment for these recruits: they are given pommel and horse equipment, trained in autumn and winter, provided with food rations, and farmed and housed in spring and summer. Avoid miscellaneous errands. If there is an accident, no compensation is allowed. During the Jiajing period, the Japanese invaders in the south and the north were in serious trouble on the border. Recruitment of soldiers has been widely adopted as a good emergency response strategy. This is a new stage in the development of the recruitment system. "In the middle of the Jiajing period, the 'Southern Japanese and Northern Robbers' were raging, and the shortcomings of the Ming army were completely exposed. The Ming court took a series of measures to improve military strength, such as increasing recruitment efforts and reforming military exercises, and could barely withstand external pressure." At this time, the recruitment system was not only implemented along the southeast coast, but also in the northern frontier army and even the Beijing camp. Recruitment of soldiers was also gradually used to replace and supplement the garrison army. The challenges and threats to the guard system are also increasing, and they account for a considerable proportion of the Ming Dynasty's army. During the Japanese invasion along the southeastern coast, a large number of soldiers were recruited, with the number being no less than 100,000. Recruiting soldiers has since become an important part of the Ming Dynasty's army. The recruitment system developed on a large scale after Jiajing, which made the central government's control over recruitment relatively loose. The power to recruit soldiers was still concentrated in the central government, and censors and science and technology officials were often dispatched to take charge of it. However, the specific recruitment work is carried out by local generals, and officials sent by the central government only authorize it. Due to the increasing number of soldiers being recruited from various places, special officers are often not assigned to take charge. Instead, they are supervised and handled by the highest local military officials, but they must be reported and approved in advance. The governor then authorized the guard officer to handle the matter and gave Jun's post as proof. Since the benefits of recruiting soldiers are relatively generous, they are not hereditary, they do not serve for life, and they are relatively free to come and go, so there are many people who are willing to recruit. Recruiting as a soldier has become a profession and a way to support their families. If one person applies, the whole family can support him. In the Maodi area of ​​western Sichuan, the land is barren and silkworms are not raised. People are only paid by military pay. For example, a family of five must enlist two soldiers to have food and clothing. Otherwise, if there is no army to respond to, there will be no way to survive, and the enemy will flee. This also threatened the garrison system. On the one hand, the existence of the recruitment system threatened the status of the garrison. On the other hand, some guard sergeants joined the recruitment team, dismantling the guard system from within the guard. "In order to get rid of the troubles of military service, a large number of military households who lacked other professional skills took advantage of the recruitment system that emerged in the middle of the Ming Dynasty and invested in the camp system. Although they were still serving in the army, their treatment had changed significantly." After Jiajing, the Ming Dynasty focused on recruiting soldiers. The guard army only retains a false name and is not used. In the last years of Wanli, the Jurchen tribe rose in the Northeast. Due to the use of troops in Liaodong, the Ming government greatly increased the number of soldiers it recruited, and the national treasury was in decline; the soldiers recruited were not strictly trained, had poor combat effectiveness, and could not be paid on time. As a result, just like the guards, they fled one after another. During the apocalypse, more and more recruits fled from various places, and the shortcomings of the recruitment system were fully exposed.
