朱元璋为平定和控制西南边疆沿贵州入滇走廊广设卫所和驻扎军队,今安顺一带的卫所驻屯军人及家属构成了“屯堡人”的最早来源。屯堡人在明初平定云南战争中起到了交通和后勤保障上的作用,其后又为贵州的建省和开发创造了人口、经济及行政的条件,他们与当地少数民族的社会融合和文化交流,都为明王朝建立和巩固统一国家作出了不可磨灭的贡献。 In order to stabilize and control the southwestern frontier, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang set up the guards and troops stationed along the corridor of Guizhou into Yunnan, and the military personnel and their dependents of the stationed garrison stationed in Anshun now constitute the earliest source of “Tunpu people”. The Tunpu people played a role in traffic and logistical support during the Ping-Yun War in the early Ming Dynasty, and subsequently created the conditions for population, economy and administration for the province's establishment and development of Guizhou. Their ties with the local ethnic minorities' social integration and culture Exchanges, made indelible contributions to the Ming Dynasty in establishing and consolidating a unified nation.
