The Rise of the Eight Banners System

The beginning of the Eight Banners began with Lu Niu. Lu Niu is the Manchu language (niru), whose original meaning is "Big Arrow", and its derivative means a hunting group of ten people voluntarily formed by the holders of Big Arrow. Around the 29th year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (A.D. 160 1 year), Nurhachi carried out the first large-scale transformation and reconstruction of Lu Niu organization. Referring to Nuzhen's fierce security system, every gathering of 300 people put a Lu Niu in charge, and the adapted Lu Niu was divided into four flags, yellow, white, red and blue, which were distinguished by solid colors.

In the 43rd year of Wanli in Ming Dynasty (Mao Yinian, 16 15), Nurhachi reformed the organizational system of Lu Niu again and perfected the Lu Niu-Gala-Gushan system. Plus yellow, white, red and blue flags. Yellow, white and blue tricolor flags with red edges and red flags with white edges form the Eight Flags.

You must never neglect farming and fighting"; The second is the integration of military and political affairs. If something is moved, nothing will be returned to the sign. "To unify the people with flags is to unify the soldiers with flags." In wartime, soldiers can bring their own things without the operation of the army. This is also one of the reasons why the Eight Banners marched bravely and quickly.

After Huang Taiji ascended the throne, in addition to the Eight Banners Manchuria, the Eight Banners Han Army and the Eight Banners Mongolia were added. From then on, the Eight Banners were divided into Manchuria, Mongolia and Han Army. Since then, the Eight Banners Mongolia, which is good at sudden riding in the field, has become the right-hand man of the Manchu people, and the addition of the Eight Banners of the Han army, which is good at operating heavy weapons such as artillery, has also greatly helped the Manchu people who used to have only light cavalry and light weapons. However, the Eight Banners are still the Eight Banners, and the power has always been concentrated in the hands of Baylor in the Qing Dynasty. It is absolutely impossible to hit a person when he is down.
