学界对于开辟苗疆与改土归流的关系存在两种观点,一种认为开辟苗疆是改土归流的组成部分,属于改土归流的范畴;另一种则认为贵州苗疆没有土司,就不能叫改土归流,开辟苗疆是开疆拓土或者武力征服。其实,这两种观点都有一定道理,但是也有各执一端之嫌。把改土归流作为雍正的一个大的历史事件,开辟苗疆与改土归流并列进行,虽然两者性质不同,即开辟苗疆性质是统一战争,改土归流是加强统一的行为,但开辟苗疆是可以包含在改土归流之内的。 There are two kinds of views on the relationship between the Miao and the natives, one is that the development of the Miao is part of the reform of the government and the other is that there is no toast , It can not be called to change the soil, open Miaotou is to open up territories or force to conquer. In fact, these two kinds of views have some truth, but also have their own suspicion. Although the nature of the two is different, that is, to open up the Miao Dynasty as a united war and to change over the land as the one that strengthens the reunification, However, the opening of Miao can be included in the reform within the land.
