The Maritime Frontier Management of the Ming Dynasty in the Longqing and Wanli Periods—A Case Study of Fujian Navy Pursuing Pirates at Sea
In the Periods of Longqing and Wanli of the Ming Dynasty,the Chinese pirate Limahong constantly raided South China Sea areas.The Ming navy not only cracked down on pirates in the coastal areas,but also sent warships to Luzon and notified the local people to eliminate the pirates.Cruising scouts played a major role in the pursue and suppression of Limahong and his followers;the system established by local authorities,fishermen and merchants to report,investigate and capture pirates also provided important information for the Ming navy to comprehensively control the situations at sea.During the Ming dynasty,people who worked at sea reported to the government as soon as they returned to land if they were harassed or robbed by pirates.Fujian officials adopted the means of Notifying the Local People to Suppress Pirates when chasing after those pirates who fled abroad.
