《明史·志·卷六十九》
岂祯十一年，皇帝训谕兵部： 编伍遣发之事，离乡一千里左右焉附近，两千五百里左右为边卫，三千里外为边远，那些极边和湿热烟瘴地区以四千里外为标准。
崇祯十一年，谕兵部： 编遣事宜，以千里为附近，二千五百里为边卫，三千里外为边远，其极边烟瘴以四千里外为率。
In the eleventh year of the Qianlong Emperor's reign, the emperor instructed the Ministry of War: In the case of compilation, dispatching soldiers, and sending troops to the army (that is, exile), around one thousand miles away from their hometown is considered "nearby", around two thousand five hundred miles away is "near the border", and three thousand miles away is "near the frontier". As for those who are at the extreme border or in a humid and hot, miasma-filled area, the standard is four thousand miles away.
