The military system of the Ming Dynasty was inherited from the previous dynasty. The center was the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, which was divided into left and right governors. The local commanders and envoys were set up, and guard posts were set up under them. The Fifth Army Dudufu and the Dudu Commandery Department are the highest military institutions of the imperial court and local areas respectively.
The Capital Command Department and the garrison posts established in various places were all affiliated to the Fifth Army Dudufu. They were responsible for training soldiers and farming in peacetime. However, during combat, they had to obey the orders of the Ministry of War and be mobilized and commanded by the general military officers sent by the imperial court. In the early Ming Dynasty, the chief military officers were mostly served by dukes, princes, etc. After the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the general military officers were stationed in the local area, and the imperial court dispatched additional governors to control the situation.
From Hongwu to Yongle, the leader of the army was basically not responsible for training the troops. Whether the trainee led the troops depended on many factors, such as the court's decision, the emperor's mood, and whether the bosses of the Ministry of War liked someone.
Therefore, it was necessary for military attaches in the Ming Dynasty to hold "several positions".
Shen Youyi's current main job is Deputy Qianhu, which is equivalent to a local official position, starting from the fifth rank. The guerrilla general has a complete military position, commanding more than 3,000 people, mainly engaged in field battles, and has a rank higher than the fifth rank.
