INTRODUCTION ll1is book continues the series on the armies of the ancient world. The intention of this series is to provide background information for students of military and art history, miniature modellers and illustrators. This particular book is the first known attempt in English to compile a chronological re cord of the Chinese military systems, with a view to on ly these systems, seg regated from economical-sociological influences. It is not a military history of China, but rather a documented study of the Chinese soldier and his enemies. Tn contrast to the previous puhlications in this series, this is the first book tha t does not concentrate on the Occidental world. The manuals and histories extant of the west arc abundant when compared to those of the Oriental \\'orld. As military historians, we are indeed fortunate that, when records were kept, they were very precise and detailed. In addition. the Oriental passion for artistic endeavors provide us with a wealth of frescoes, reliefs, and funerary stelae, many of which are militaristic in theme. Wh en dealing with the ancient world and it's military systems, the mili ta ry historian should have a secondary discipline: art history. It is in art objects and artifacts that we can see what is merely indicated in literature or historical records. These two disciplines, when utilized sid e by side, prove invaluable to a researcher of this period and subject. Another difference between this work and those preceding is the time period covered. We are now dealing with a period of approximately two thousand years. DUring this period of time, numerOus peoples migrate, develop. and expand. I have chosen to concentrate on the Chinese Army develop­ ment, portraying each of China's enemies in a somewhat secondary role, only showing their development when they came in contact with China_ An exception to this, of course, is the Mongols. With the rise of the Jenghis Khan , we see the birth of a military system that easily equals in importance anything that China produced. As the title of this work deals with China, I will docliment the Mongols only to the point of the Japanese invasions of the late 13th century. As that time, China was already under the Mongolian Yiian Dynasty, practically all of Asia was under Mongolian rule, and their eyes turned towards the west and Europe. As with the rest of the Research Group series, reliance has been placed on ancient authors and excavation reports, with emphasis on monumental and archeological evidence. TIle ancient authors of this period seldom adequately describe armor types or weapons, therefore archeological evidence is needed. This the Oriental world provides in funera ry reliefs and wall paintings. As Art History is my primary academic discipline, I will recognize archeological artifacts or visual evidence as the deciding factor, when the literary evidence and the physical evidence do not coincide. FelT students starting a journey into the world of Chinese military history, there are a few volumes that are truly invaluable. Sun Tzu's The Art of Wa r, translated by S.B. Griffith is an excellent introduction 10 the Chou Dynasty. In addition to the doctrine included. this edition is by far the most readable and enler­ taining. The Shih Chi by Ssu -ma Ch'ien, (B. Wat son, translator) and the History of the Furmer Han Dynasty by Pan Ku (I I. Dubs, translator) provide an excellent start for the Han Dynastic period, along with the multi·volumed wOlks on the Han Administration by M. Loewe. 2 .-\ \'ery interesting work is Rome and Chinn by F.1. TeggarL This describes the illterrelationships .;f (WO great empires, and how one's actions ultimately affected the other.

TIl e Rook of Ser Marco Polo, in Iwo volumes, translated by Colonel Yule; H, Howorth's five Didier .,Iume History of the Mongols; and nle Rise of Chinghis Khan and His Conquest of No rthern China by H . .Martin provide two additional valunblc sources. trate I should note that many of the ancient accounts of battles have not been named. I have had to >ared ;:<signate names for them to aid in reference. When possible, I have allocated the loc. tion of the Is O:! ule as this name. When this was not possihle, a unique OCClirrance or unusual aspect was used for tile name. The problem of tran51ating a phonetic alphahet to Engli sh or any western language adds milch to the Et'neral confusion. The spelling of any Chinese or Oriental name is subject to the nationality of the ,. Lr.ID.S.latu r and the date of writing. An example is the Genghis Khan , spelled alternatively, Jenghis, Chingis. Jingis, Genghiz, and many uther ways. For one to slate that his version of translation is the lYe "'Illy one COrrcct is absurd. Therefore, I have tricd to be selective in my spelling and. I hope, consistent. Finally. let me say that the overall purpose of this work is to generate interesl in Ihe peo ples of the .w ~ern world. Many unique characteristics have surfaced in my research, but the study of ancient IS aslern warfare is still in it's infancy. If this work can spark any interest or research into this field , 'po ten I will consid er my efforts as fruitful. JPC th of \,breh, 1975.

Supported by a grant from Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, The EEA Fund for Bilateral Relations, contract no. 910/20.03.2015. Abstract: The idea that motivated the writing of this article was to treat an aspect not only of the Byzantine military history, but also of the long lasting impression that this millenary empire has left on the Northern “barbarians”, as they are often called in the Orthodox medieval sources. Its central concept is, as the title already suggests it, the imperial ideology of power, but from another perspective: the contribution of the feared Scandinavian warriors to its outlining in the Byzantine public life, as opposed to the emperor’s private existence, always hidden from the eyes of his subjects. Also, I have tried to summarise a fragment of the Norse perception on Byzantium and in what manner it influenced the former participants at the Byzantine military campaigns when they returned home.

  • The Imperial Guard and Polish Nationalism: 1812- 1814
    The Imperial Guard and Polish Nationalism: 1812- 1814 By Paul L Dawson BSc Hons FINS The Imperial Guard of Napoleon Iere, is perhaps best known for being the ultimate battle field reserve of unbreakable veteran soldiers, committed only at a critical point in a battle to confirm a victory. Its charge was looked upon as an unalterable decree against the enemy written in the book of fate. However, such was the status and prestige attached to being a member of the Imperial Guard, that membership of this elite of an elite was used by Napoleon to aid his political and military designs. On 23 June 1812, the Grande Armée crossed the river Niemen, which separated Poland from Lithuania, heading towards Vilna (now Vilnius), the capital of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. Filled with hope for the restoration of a fully independent Poland, the Polish Diet in Warsaw jumped the gun and proclaimed unilaterally the restoration of the Kingdom of Poland, uniting the Grand Duchy of Warsaw with the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. The confederation of Poland named Prince Adam Czartoryski as President. This had not been done with Napoleon's blessing for fear of alienating the Tsar with whom he wished to conclude a peace. Napoleon had promised the Poles that he would create an independent state, the Duchy of Warsaw being an interim measure. This action guaranteed an army of loyal Poles, but enraged Alexander and his nobles, who demanded that Napoleon abandon the Duchy. Poland was important to Napoleon as it created a buffer between the Empire and Russia.

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles The Emperor’s Coffer: The Qing Imperial Fiscal Separation Between Privy Purse and State Treasury (1644-1912) A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History by Jia Feng 2017 © Copyright by Jia Feng 2017 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION The Emperor’s Coffer: The Qing Imperial Fiscal Separation Between Privy Purse and State Treasury (1644-1912) by Jia Feng Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Los Angeles, 2017 Professor Robert P. Brenner, Co-Chair Professor James Tong, Co-Chair This dissertation examines the imperial fiscal arrangement during the Qing dynasty that separated the privy or crown’s purse from the state treasury. In my dissertation, I argue that while the distinction between public and private finance has long been identified in European studies as an important sign of the rise of modernity, similar fiscal arrangements in China arose from the crown’s endeavor over several decades to consolidate authority first over the nobility and then over the Chinese state. I see dynamics of this separation as deeply rooted in China’s longstanding patrimonial bureaucratic rule. The continued functioning of the imperial state system into the Qing, a dynasty founded by non-Han rulers, thus suggests the remarkable resiliency of Chinese political traditions despite dramatic institutional changes brought by alien conquest. This dissertation is composed of an introduction, six chapters, and a conclusion. The ii introduction sets out the reasons why the public/private divide structure does not necessarily mean the rise of modernity and demonstrates how the separation was both indicative of and shaped by China’s longstanding patrimonial bureaucratic rule.

  • The Eastern Roman Empire Under Justinian
    International Journal of Humanities Social Sciences and Education (IJHSSE) Volume 4, Issue 4, April 2017, PP 109-113 ISSN 2349-0373 (Print) & ISSN 2349-0381 (Online) http://dx.doi.org/10.20431/2349-0381.0404013 www.arcjournals.org The Eastern Roman Empire under Justinian Prof. Univ. Ph. D. Marius Ţepelea University of Oradea, Romania Abstract: The Roman Empire that Justinian inherited no longer stretched over the whole Mediterranean region. It has been reduced to its eastern Greek-speaking half. In the Balkans, it controlled the area occupied now by Greece, Macedonia, Bulgaria, Albania and Serbia, wich together made up the prefecture of Illyricum. Its northern frontier was the Danube River, north of which were various Germanic, Hun and Slavic peoples who made constant incursions into imperial territory but thus far had made no permanent settlements. In Asia, the prefecture of the Orient comprised an area west of a frontier that ran roughly from the eastern tip of the Black Sea south to the Euphrates River, and from there across the desert of Jordan to the Gulf of Aqaba. In Africa, it controlled Egypt, and the southern part of present-day Libya. The former Roman Western Empire was occupied by barbarian kingdoms: the Vandal kingdom in North Africa, the Visigoth kingdom in Spain, the Frankish kingdom in France and the Ostrogoth kingdom in Italy. Keywords: Eastern Roman Empire, Justinian, Constantinople, Roman army. The greatest emperor of the Eastern Roman world was born in 482 in Tauresium, in the Roman province of Dardania, in a common peasant family that spoke Latin. His father was Petrus and his mother, Vigilantia.

  • The Mongol Imperial Guard and the Roman Praetorian Guard
    To Protect, Serve, and Sell Out: The Mongol Imperial Guard and the Roman Praetorian Guard WILLIAM HOYLE UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING In order to successfully maintain and secure an empire, rulers often sought to establish a personal bodyguard charged primarily with the preservation of their lives. Such situations were particularly true in the cases of the Mongol and Roman Empires, in which elite guards attended their leaders day and night, during peacetime and in open battle. Whereas the Mongol Imperial Guard was created with honest intent and found to be exclusively loyal to its political patron, the khan, the Roman Praetorian Guards were often bribed to sacrifice their own values for the political agendas of the Senate and swayed by their own agendas to oust one emperor for another better suited. This essay compares and contrasts these two imperial corps, their later incarnations, their expectations, and their loyalties and disloyalties within the context of their respective empires and the political patrons they were entrusted to protect. Many differences and similarities can be found between the two sets of soldiers, who thrived in two completely different eras of history and in two completely different parts of the world. The first incarnation of the Mongol Imperial Guard differed from the Roman Praetorians, who were, from the moment of their origins, seen as an elite unit1 and an “important arm of the state and a formidable personal military power base.”2 The Mongol Imperial Guard under command of Chinggis Qan, established in 1206,3 differed somewhat from that of the Romans. According to Richard A.

  • Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
    1 BATTLE & DISTRICT HISTORICAL SOCIETY baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaac JULY CRISIS: DESCENT INTO WAR 1914 Professor T. G. Otte, MA, PhD 17th September 2014 here are two principal reasons for the fascination with the Great War. First, it profoundly transformed Europe and indeed the wider world. The Commonwealth war graves in Flanders, the hills of Champagne or the jardins de funèbre and Heldenhaine that scar those landscapes are reminders Tof this. But beyond that, many of the vicissitudes of the twentieth century were rooted in this conflict. The second reason was no less significant. Scholars of the war fall into two broad categories: those who argue that at the core of the events of 1914 was a conscious policy act by one Power or another to opt for war; and there are those who think that politicians lost control and the nations of Europe, in Lloyd George’s phrase, ‘slithered over the brink into … war.’ This mattered because it touches on the nature of man and the nature of politics in general. For if the former view prevails, then there was something rational and deliberate at the root of the 1914-18 war; and if it was rational then there is hope. Lessons can be learnt, and a recurrence of such a cataclysm avoided. If the latter view prevails, then politics are irrational and uncontrollable – and there is no hope. The events at Sarajevo on 28 June were the starting point of the July crisis. The seven assassins belonged to a type, once again familiar: disaffected youths, self-radicalised to become martyrs for their chosen cause.

  • The Varangian Guard
    CHAPTER l The Varangian Guard Much of the history of the Vikings in the Hast is concerned with their attacks on the Byzantine capital of Constantinople. However, their relations with the Empire were by no means entirely hostile, and the tradition of Service in the Byzantine forces in the tenth, eleventh and twelfth centuries must now be considered in its turn. The history of Scandinavians serving in Constantinople and on various campaigns abroad has been carefully traced by Sigfus Blöndal in his valuable study, Vceringjasaga, a work all too little known because it was published in Icelandic. His indefatigable researches into Norse and Greek sources reveal the wide ex- periences open to those who entered the Emperor's Service, especially to those in the Varangian Guard in close contact with the imperial family and with the rise and fall of dynasties in the heart of the Empire. It has been claimed that the work needs extensive revision, because of BlöndaPs tendency to assume that Icelanders were present on many occasions when the evidence is doubtful.1 However, his füll and careful documentation and ability to draw from a wide ränge of sources render it a formidable achievement, something which needs to be taken into account by any serious Student of the history of the Varangians. The tradition of reliance on barbarian troops from outside the Empire was äs old äs the city itself, for Constantine showed great honour to the Cornuti for the part which they played in the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in AD 312. Not only are these Germanic warriors depicted clearly on the Arch of Constantine standing close to the Emperor, but the emblem of curving horns ending in animal heads worn on their helmets was incorporated into the Roman army, together with the Germanic battle-cry, the 1 Benedikz, 24.
