Prohibition or Releasing:Research on the System of Merchant Ships Sailing with Weapons in the Qing Dynasty
The establishment of the system of merchant ships sailing with weapons was an attempt by the Qing government to further standardize maritime activities and assert control over maritime order.This system became a crucial component of the Qing Dynasty's marine territory governance framework.The system's provisions included restrictions on the types and quanti-ties of weapons allowed on board,as well as meticulously designed mechanisms for the application,manufacture,inspection,and release of weaponry.This created a set of regulations distinguishing merchant ships based on their attributes and regions of op-eration.During the implementation of this system,it underwent adjustments based on the changing security along the marine territory and the livelihood needs of coastal populations,reflecting a cyclical pattern of adherence to and deviations from estab-lished regulations.The evolution of this system of merchant ships carrying weapons abroad reflected the dynamic adjustments in the Qing Dynasty's maritime policy,which involved the power struggles and compromises between the central government and coastal regions over maritime authority,and had distinctive characteristics of the dynasty's maritime governance system.
