Abstract: This article argues that“Yebushou” the placement of sentries or spies among the frontier forces of the Ming dynasty in Liaodong area, and “Zhuosheng”the capture of Ming sentries by the emergent Later-Jin ( Q ing) dynasty were important sources of military intelligence.The effective performance of“Zhuosheng” made remarkable contributions to the decisive victory of the Later-Jin at the crucial transitional period from Ming to Q ing.

摘要： 本文认为“夜不收”是明代辽东边防守军中的哨探或间谍的特有称谓,而“捉生”则是后金(清)崛起后为获取军事情报而采取的一种捕捉哨探的行为。“捉生”的有效实施,体现了军事侦察活动在从明到清转折时期的决定性胜利中做出的特殊贡献。
