Previous research on military officers of the Wei-so in Fujian during the Ming dynasty lack comprehensiveness.Utilizing the DocuSky Metadata Attachment Tool, researchers can transform pure text historical materials into metadata.This study reveals that military deployment was frequent during the Hongwu and Yongle eras, resulting a higher number of southern officers compared to their northern counterparts within the Wei-so in Fujian. Southern military officials were predominantly founding heroes of the Ming dynasty, while those from the north often rose to prominence due to the Jingnan Campaign, occupying higher military positions within the garrisons. Furthermore, most of Fujian garrison officials were camp followers and submitters, while drafted soldiers were not the main part.Given Fujian's strategic location along the southeast coast, its garrisons primarily concentrated on anti-piracy and defense operations, leading to heavy military service and limited promotion opportunities for local officials.The application of the DocuSky introduces innovative tools for studying of the “partial resume” of garrison officials, thereby enriching research on Wuzhi Xuanbu.
