Eastern Jin Army

The Eastern Jin Army was the military force of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which ruled China from 317 to 420 CE. It was primarily composed of trained soldiers tasked with defending China from invasions, internal rebellions, and maintaining stability during a period of political fragmentation. The army relied on both traditional infantry and cavalry units and often faced challenges such as different invading tribes and regional conflicts. Despite internal struggles and external threats, the Eastern Jin Army played a crucial role in preserving Chinese territory and societal order during a time of division.
