From PHSea
清朝自建國以來，雖然那些留辮子的大小官員吸鴉片、貪瀆，甚至做了不少喪權辱國 的事，一直到現在仍然令人不能苟同，但是，對國土邊防及治安，卻比明朝做得好，這一點是不須置疑的。例如，在光緒十三年，除了在馬公市區營造一座澎湖城，還在目前馬公市郊東衛里及西衛里分別設置關卡，派軍隊防守，主要任務是要防範倭寇（日本海盜）及紅毛番（荷蘭人）偷渡入城從事走私、搶劫等勾當。因此，「澎湖協鎮」（相當目前的澎防部）就設置「東衛」、「西衛」這兩個軍事防守據點，先民也據此作為村落地名，這是澎湖九十多個村里中取名比較特殊的。東衛、西衛這兩個村落地名，迄今也有一、兩百年歷史了，地方政府及先民仍然代代沿襲一直到現在，從未更換。
看過澎湖文獻的人都知道，日本海盜或荷蘭人在澎湖走私或搶劫，被軍隊發現後逃走的路線各不相同，日本海盜向東方逃，經過東衛、隘門，到林投海岸由預先停泊在林投海
岸的海盜船接應後逃走。荷蘭則常在西衛海岸停泊擺渡、當清兵要逮捕他們，就向北方逃，到了西衛就搭乘擺渡駛向白沙鄉海域，然後登上預先停泊在瓦硐村港外的海盜船，向「吼門」（即今跨海大橋出口處）逃離澎湖。例如：「澎湖城」的北門，就在今車船處及公賣局一帶，距西衛不過一公里多，而「澎湖城」東門則在今中小企業銀行一帶，距東衛不過兩公里，卻仍然特別設置東衛、西衛兩處關卡，兩處關卡因而變成村落地名，具有歷史上軍事防禦遺跡紀念意義。
