Abstract
This article analyzes the 1631-33 mutiny led by Kong Youde against the Ming state on the Shandong peninsula and argues that the conflict emerged directly out of the social tensions between local populations and the displaced migrant refugees of the Bohai gulf region. The maritime integration of the Shandong coast city of Dengzhou with the commercial networks of the Liaodong peninsula and the island archipelagoes of the Bohai, together with the militarization of this regional space, created the social conditions in which Kong Youde could mobilize migrant discontent and attempt to construct his own independent military regime.
