↑ "Tống sử" chí đệ nhất bách tứ thập binh nhất (cấm quân thượng) viết:“三年十二月，枢密使文彦博等上在京、开封府界及京东等路禁军数，帝亦参以治平中兵数而讨论焉。遂诏：殿前虎翼除水军一指挥外，存六十指挥，各以五百人为率，总三万四百人；在京增广勇五指挥，共二千人；开封府界定六万二千人，京东五万一千二百人，两浙四千人，江南东五千二百人，江南西六千八百人，荊湖南八千三百人，荊湖北万二千人，福建四千五百人，广南东、西千二百人，川峡三路四千四百人为额。在京其余指挥并河东、陕西、京西、淮南路既皆拨并，唯河北人数尚多，乃诏禁军以七万为额。初，河北兵籍比诸路为多，其缘边者且仰给三司，至是而拨并畸零，立为定额焉。是时，京东增置武卫军，分隶河北四路，后又以三千人戍扬、杭州、江宁府，其后又团结军士置将分领，则谓之将兵云。”

↑ 南宋吴儆写《论募兵》道:“饥岁莫急于防民之盗，而防盗莫先于募民为兵”，“桀黠强悍之人既已衣食于县官，而驯制之，则饥民虽欲为盗，谁与倡之?是上可以足兵之用，下可以去民之盗，一举而两得之”
↑ 《續資治通鑒長編卷一百五十慶曆四年》：「得中國土地，役中國人民，稱中國位號，仿中國官屬，任中國賢才，讀中國書籍，用中國車服，行中國法令。是二寇所為，皆與中國等，而又勁兵驍將長於中國，中國所有，彼盡得之；彼之所長，中國不及。」
