Native Troops

Native troops were found only in Sichuan, Gansu, Huguang, Yunnan, and Guizhou, and when the court mobilized them for southwestern campaigns they proved consistently effective. In the Kangxi era, Manggitu battled Ma Bao at Shaoling with Yao native soldiers in reserve. Fu Honglie's pacification of Guangxi likewise drew on native troops and local militia. For the Gurkha campaign the Qianlong court called up five thousand Jinchuan native soldiers, and native troops marched with the forces sent against Annam. On the Jinchuan campaign Fu Heng wrote: "Smashing the enemy by sheer valor still rests on the Eight Banners. But guides in the mountains must be native troops, and the soldiers of Lesser Jinchuan are especially fierce and battle-hardened." The same lesson appeared when Yue Zhongqi pacified Tibet and when, in the Xianfeng and Tongzhi years, native troops helped crush the Taiping bands in Guizhou and Sichuan.

Ancient southwestern peoples were largely Panhu descendants known as the Liao, Ling, Zhuang, Yao, Miao, and related groups (one ethnonym is absent in the received text). Over time they proliferated into Western Tibetans, Bo, Baiyi, Mosuo, Gelao, Zali, Luo, Liang, Yao, and many other named groups. Miao and related peoples were especially diverse—Flower Miao, Red Miao, Flower and Red Gelao, White and Black Luoluo, and others. Most native troops came from these populations, which is why they were so fierce and dependable in the field. In Gansu, Sichuan, Guangdong and Guangxi, Hunan, Yunnan, and Guizhou, native troops might answer to tusi chiefs, to native company officers, or to regular garrison commands. In Gansu, native troops were organized through the Fan tribal jurisdictions. In Sichuan they were tied to garrison native officers and settled Fan communities. In Hunan they fell under drill regiments and garrison militia. Seventy-nine additional Fan tribes were divided between the Xining and Tibet administrations. All of these arrangements are set out below.

In Yongzheng 9, seventy-nine Fan tribes newly brought under pacification at Nancheng, Bayan, and elsewhere — their territories straddling the borders of Sichuan, Tibet, and Xining. The following summer, Sichuan, Tibet, and Xining each sent commissioners to survey and apportion the territory jointly; tribes near Xining were assigned to Xining, those near Tibet were temporarily placed under Tibet jurisdiction, and the like.

By the late Qianlong reign, the thirty-nine tribes were separately organized under one overall centurion, thirteen centurions, and fifty-three company chiefs — later raised to sixteen centurions and sixty-one company chiefs.
