In the film and television dramas about the Qing Dynasty, we always see such an image, wearing a decent official uniform, shuttling through every corner of the palace. The most important thing is to serve the emperor with a knife and protect his safety. This image is the imperial army of the Qing dynasty, which is generally composed of the emperor's cronies. More importantly, at that time, the imperial army was not allowed to carry controlled knives, but they could carry knives. Then why didn't the emperor worry that the guards with knives would threaten his own safety and let them take care of them with knives? ? Above _ In A Record of Manchuria, Taizu Jianyuan is a map of the throne. The mighty guards around Nurhachi were strictly selected, and ordinary people were not easily selected as guards. They are a kind of staff subordinate to the Guards, provided that they are filled with children of Meng Xun and Wu Jinshi. They were established in the early Qing Dynasty, and later developed with the strengthening of imperial autocracy. The level is refined and the number of places is limited. As for the selection criteria of the command guard, it can be said that it is very strict. The first is to limit the body. There are many guards who serve the emperor. For example, the imperial palace guards closest to the emperor (a kind of imperial guards) should be selected from the three flags commanded by the emperor himself, excluding * * *. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the imperial army could only choose the children who were born in the Manchu royal family or Mongolian princes, and these children were originally noble, so they seemed to be only the upper class. With the gradual development of the imperial guard system, the family background has also expanded to the winner of the martial arts background. The martial arts of the Qing dynasty are the most perfect, and they need to be selected at different levels. Therefore, the person who can win must have overcome the restriction of birth with superb martial arts. ? Above _ In addition to family background, the second-class guards in Qing Dynasty also assessed their appearance, martial arts and literary talent. You should not be too bad-looking, have superb martial arts and have a certain literary talent. In addition to being responsible for the safety of the emperor, the imperial army also played other roles. For example, when Huang Taiji was in power, he led many guards to form pro-soldiers against the Ming Dynasty. According to the system of leading guards and ministers. According to records, the guards "combined ministers, guards and so on. Lure the enemy into Jinzhou and kill them endlessly "including the Royal Guards. Huang taiji's army finally conquered nine bunkers outside Jinzhou, which shows how strong the imperial army can be in wartime, and those who can be imperial need to have strong strength. ? Above _ "Kangxi Tour" The escort of the Royal Guards is not only loyal, but also very important, so the general Royal Guards are all served by people who know the roots and the bottom. For example, pearls in Kangxi period, "pearls", were given funeral instruments and health care instruments by guards and moved to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. "Starting from the command guards, and then the official to the university students, in addition to outstanding ability and loyalty, his father Niyaha and Kangxi's grandfather Huang Taiji are cousins. According to the relationship between relatives and friends, Kangxi had to ask Pearl to be around. Therefore, if you want to be a bodyguard of the Qing Dynasty, you should not only have a good background, but also have both talents and looks, martial arts and strength. When you have all these, it depends on whether the emperor believes you or not. Perhaps the emperor might as well choose a cousin who grew up together than you. ? Above _ The waist tag of Royal Guards in Qing Dynasty is well paid and of high grade. As a privileged class around the emperor, the Royal Guards have to say that it is indeed a very glorious existence, because the selection is very difficult and the treatment is higher after being selected. First of all, among all the imperial guards, the welfare of imperial guards is the best. Besides my salary, there are many welfare subsidies and gifts. Second, the promotion is faster. In addition to the Nalan Pearl mentioned above, the small Shenyang we are familiar with also started from Jinyiwei. According to the draft of Qing history, "thirty-four years of Qianlong, a third-class captain, arrived without pomp." Find a third-class bodyguard and pick a stick to mend it. For forty years, he worked as a bodyguard and deputy commander for the Imperial Command. The following year, he was awarded the Assistant Minister of Finance. "In the thirty-fourth year of Qianlong, small Shenyang became Qianlong's attendant, and in just seven years, he served as assistant minister of the Ministry of Finance, which is enough to show that Qianlong emperor loved small Shenyang. ? Above _ Young Shenyang III, with achievements, is proud of his ancestors. The imperial army in the Qing Dynasty was different from other privileged classes, mostly between the third and sixth grades, with a high grade. It is a great honor for princes and ministers to be close to the emperor. According to "Jiaoze Monument", in the Qing Dynasty, Wu Jinshi Li He was elected as the imperial bodyguard of the emperor, and was given a Henaan, wearing a yellow jacket. The plaque of "Imperial Guards House" has been circulated in the family so far, and everyone in the family is proud of it. With such good treatment, not only can I live a rich and satisfying life, but I can also be proud of this position and gain the supreme glory of myself and my family. What imperial guard would be stupid enough to assassinate the emperor? ? Above _ Shooting dragons and hunting demons, and protecting the imperial army around them are only the privileges of a few people, but also restricted by law. Although there are many imperial guards, few can carry knives, and carrying knives is only a privilege. The grade of Royal Guards is between the right three products and the right six products, but at least four products can carry knives, and there are very few Royal Guards who can reach more than four products. I'm afraid most of them are close friends of the emperor. The emperor knows the root of the matter, and carrying a knife can only be said to be beneficial and harmless. In addition, the laws of the Qing Dynasty were harsh, with the top ten pearls and jade tortured in the Qing Dynasty in front and the harsh laws behind. It is not easy to assassinate the emperor. If the assassination is unsuccessful, not only will it be difficult for you to survive, but it will also bring trouble to your family. For example, Emperor Jiaqing of the Qing Dynasty was assassinated. Chen De, an unemployed chef in Taixian County, Henan Province, tried to assassinate Emperor Jiaqing in Shenwumen on February 20th, 2008. Afterwards, he interrogated Chen De and said, "If it succeeds, the public will sit where I sit, that is, where I sit. Chen De has a good idea, but he is right-handed, with or without the protection of millions of troops. If he is foolhardy, he will only fail and finally die in, which is commonly known as "chess piece" You can imagine how painful death is. In addition, under strict laws, Chen De's two sons and his mother-in-law who were paralyzed in bed were also implicated and died. ? Above _ At the end of the Qing Dynasty, Ouchi brought a knife to the imperial army. Therefore, if the imperial army suffers a disaster and wants to kill the emperor and become king on its own, the failure rate is high and the consequences of failure are unbearable. Besides dying in great pain, they will also implicate their families. With such good treatment and opportunities for rapid promotion, once the Royal Guards become Royal Guards, they can live a carefree life and honor their families. I'm afraid no imperial guard will leave an excellent bodyguard to do such a dangerous thing! Besides, you are so blessed, there is no reason to assassinate the emperor. Text: Rachel reference:
