On Coastal Defence Engineering of Shandong in the Ming Dynasty
From the early years of the Ming Dynasty,the Japanese pirates invaded and harassed our country repeatedly on a large scale,making the coastal areas suffer a lot.In order to resist the invasion and harassment,the Ming government established 11 places of wei and 6 places of defence qianhusuo successively along the Shandong coastline,and built the coastal defence projects such as fucheng,xiancheng,weicheng,suocheng,junzhai,dunbao,forming a complete and tight coastal defence engineering system with the walls and moats of weicheng and suocheng as the main body,and the prevention of Japanese pirates'invasion and pirates'harassment.These coastal defence projects adapted to the need of the struggle of resisting the Japanese pirates,were the important basis and support for the Shandong coastal defense system in the Ming Dynasty,and played a very important role in resisting the invasion and harassment of Japanese pirates.
