博士 / 國立暨南國際大學 / 歷史學系 / 97 / Abstract

In the early days of Qing Dynasty , there was in a state of chaos without governable systems. The priority mission was to organize law and order for the Qing government. On the part of navy security, Qing government was aware of a lack in its experiential management. Therefore, Qing government inherited the same crews and worships from Ming Dynasty in order to establish the steady foundation on the navy security. Before 1683 , on the Kangxi Emperor's period in Qing Dynasty , the priority defense area on the navy security had been used to be along the coast of Fujian province for the Zheng , the last official in Ming’s dynasty battled with Qing army , until Zheng’s influence was eliminated by Qing . Qing evenly distributed the navy security along the coast and balanced it on every governable district until Jiaqing emperor set up Guangdong province as his chief district which was total different aspect from the view of Kangxi on the navy security.

This thesis is focused on the studies of Navy System . Most of the content in the paper study was from historical archives and official files instead of the second-hand information study. Because of the limitation in the research , the focused range will be the last period of “Ming” dynasty to the Opium war (1644-1842). Navy security and warship policy will be two main subjects in the study. The study provinces in the navy security will be Zhejiang、Fujian、Taiwan as well as Guangdong . On the other hand, the studies of warship policy will be the businesses on the forts、batteries、signal and towers .

The leading concern of Navy establishment in security was defended against pirates. As result of it, the security had to be adjusted its defended scheme according the pirates’ battle abilities. If the worships belonged to pirates had the greater dimensions than Qing’s , Qing ;therefore, re-built worships and adjusted their sizes to beat the enemies. Due to the enemies’ diminutive power in the domestic, Qing lose awareness to gradually build enormous worship against other enemies from foreign countries. A obviously example was presented on the Qing’s failure battle when he struggled with England, the great battle power country in the western.
