Jizhen,which is adjacent to Bei-jing and a barrier for the capital,played a very important role in the border town defense sys-tem since the middle of Ming Dynasty.During the conflict between the Ming government and Mongolian Altan khan in 1550,the Jingy-ing army were too weak to defeat Altan khan.It led to Mongolian Altan khan entered directly without resistance.The strategy of transferring troops to Jizhen to defend the capital was tem-porarily supported by the Ming government.Af-ter the Gengxu war during the 1550,Jiajing emperor carried out the strategy of reducing the guard army and training the main troops.Wangshu,who was Jizhen governor,was pun-ished for his passive response.By means of exaggerating the theory of troops training,the Yansong Group refuted the theory of deploy-ment.Tang Shunzhi,a director of the Bureau of Military of war,pointed out the fundamental problems of Jizhen and proposed a plan for withdrawing troops,but whether it was adopt-ed was not yet known.During the late period of Jiajing,the training army in Jizhen was in trouble.Although the emperor's intervention made a slight improvement,the overall effect was not good,and the Ming government failed to achieve the purpose of withdrawing the troops.The old habit of sending troops to de-fend Jizhen has not been effectively changed.
