Ma Tseuk Leng edit

When the Qing government evacuated the coastal inhabitants inland in the first few years of the dynasty, many places in the Hong Kong area were involved. In the seventh year of Emperor Kangxi's reign (1668) when the evacuees were allowed to return the coastal defense was intensified with the creation of 21 fortified mounds with an army unit stationed at each along the border of Xin'an County following a survey made of its coast.

At least five of these mounds were located in present-day Hong Kong. These five were under the command of the Xin'an Battalion. One of them, the Tuen Mun Mound, is believed to have been built on Castle Peak or Kau Keng Shan in today's New Territories and was manned by 50 soldiers under the command of a qianzong (千总, company commander). The other two, the Kowloon Mound and the Tai Po Tau Mound, which must have been located on Lion Rock and northwest of Tai Po Old Market, respectively, were each guarded by 30 soldiers. The fourth one, the Ma Tseuk Leng Mound, stood between the present-day Sha Tau Kok and Fan Ling and was defended by 50 men under the command of a bazong (把总, squad leader). The last one was an observation post manned by 10 soldiers at Fat Tong Mun, probably on today's Tin Ha Shan Peninsula.

In the 21st year of Kangxi's reign (1682), as a result of an order to cut back on the number of troops stationed in these places, many of these fortified mound forces were re-organized to become shuen (garrison) and were manned by detachments from the Green Banner with reduced strength. The Kowloon Mound, now called Kowloon Garrison, had 10 soldiers posted there. The Tai Po Tau Garrison was manned by a guard of 10 men. The former mound at Ma Tseuk Leng was put in the charge of a bazong officer with 22 men under his command. The Tuen Mun Garrison now had 30 soldiers posted to it under the command of a qianzong. The Fat Tong Mun Observation Post was an exception. After it was renamed North Fat Tong Mound the number of soldiers guarding it was increased to 30 and a bazong was put in command.[2] [3]

Rephrasing

When the ban on human settlement of coastal areas of the Great Clearance was lifted in 1668, the coastal defense was reinforced. Twenty-one fortified mounds, each manned with an army unit, were created along the border of Xin'an County, and at least five of them were located in present-day Hong Kong. 1) The Tuen Mun Mound, believed to have been built on Castle Peak or Kau Keng Shan, was manned by 50 soldiers. 2) The Kowloon Mound on Lion Rock and 3) the Tai Po Tau Mound northwest of Tai Po Old Market had each 30 soldiers. 4) The Ma Tseuk Leng Mound stood between present-day Sha Tau Kok and Fan Ling and was manned by 50 men. 5) The fifth one at Fat Tong Mun, probably on today's Tin Ha Shan Peninsula, was an observation post manned by 10 soldiers. In 1682, these forces were re-organized and manned by detachments from the Green Standard Army with reduced strength.[3]
