Sumario:Many of the south-western non-Chinese minorities rebelled during the course of the dynasty's existence, including the Miao, who at the end of the sixteenth century launched an uprising under the leadership of Yang Yinglong (1551-1600). The resulting insurgency was eventually supressed under the leadership of civil officials. During the early dynasty forceful suppression by the military had been the norm. In contrast, civil officials, like Neo-Confucian thinker Wang Yangming (1472-1529), conceptualized mixed policies emphasizing moral exhortations and social engineering, in combination with military force using advanced technologies, as integrated solutions to ethnic insurgencies in the course of the sixteenth century. This paper will look at the extent to which these mixed policies were advocated and applied, including the use of advanced firearms, and their relative measures of success.
