Dear colleagues!

I wonder if anybody is able to advise me the list of contents of these treatises. I have not got these manuals (only some extractions) but I need to know their structure to compare with the structure of "Jixiao Xinshu" (紀效新書).

Does "Wu Bian" survive? One of scholars in Russia states it was lost and only brief mention of it survived in the text of "Ming shi" (明史).

If anybody posess the soft copy of these treatises, I would highly appreciate to get them for research.

Thanks in advance,

ALexey.

P.S. I have misprinted - of course, I am to type 總 instead of 重 in "武經總要"
[No worries - edited it for you.

Thanks a lot! I have heard there were only 10 chapters in "Wu bian". Here we can see 12 chapters in 2 volumes. Are there 2 variants of the treatise (as for "Jixiao Xinshu")?

What is the exact data of "Wu bian"? Did Tang Shunzhi meet with General Qi in 1550-s? Is there a soft version of the treatise?

Best regards,

Alexey.
