蕃兵是由北方沿边熟户蕃部组成的少数民族军队 ,产生于宋夏战争时期。由于特殊的历史环境 ,北宋重视蕃兵建设 ,形成了较为完备的蕃兵制度 ,并将其纳入到拥宋反夏、御寇镇叛的轨道 ,但蕃兵却受到北宋的多方面歧视。蕃兵的建立 ,是宋代兵制改革的创新。 The Fan Bing was a minority army composed of the Mudan Tribe of the North along the border and was born during the Song-Xia Wars. Because of the special historical environment, the Northern Song Dynasty paid more attention to the construction of the Fan-Bu troops and formed a relatively complete system of Fan-Bu soldiers, which was incorporated into the tracks of the Song, Xia and Kou towns. However, the Fan-Bu was discriminated in many aspects by the Northern Song Dynasty. The establishment of Fan Bing is an innovation in the reform of the arms system in the Song Dynasty.
