Hello everyone, I'm Lantai.
Today I would like to talk to you about the Qing Dynasty's clan system.
If you want to talk about the Qing Dynasty clan system, you must first introduce the Eight Flags system.
The Eight Flags system is essentially no different from the Ming Dynasty's military household system, both are "shi bing" system.
The world soldier here refers to the system of generations of soldiers.
Under the Eight Banners system, As a royal family, Aisin Kyaw Lo naturally held high-ranking military positions, while other Manchurian clans could hold the highest positions of metropolitan government.
Looking at it now, the capital under the Eight Banners system of the Qing Dynasty is similar to today's regimental commander, and can only command about a thousand people at most.
But what if some people are born unfit to be soldiers? What should I do if I am born with halo?
Then go to the service soldiers and cooks.
This is the origin of the wrapping under the eight flags system, the wrapping is completely different from the people under the banner, the people under the banner are slaves, and the clothing is a good citizen.
The wrapping is actually a transliteration of the Manchu language, and the Manchu transliteration of the wrapping is the meaning of service.
Who under the Eight Flags system is eligible for service soldiers?
Only members of the royal family with the surname Aisin Kyora are eligible to use the Service Soldiers.
Everyone must make it clear that the Great Qing Law stipulates that the wrapping of clothes is a good citizen, that they can be examined and can be officials, and that their subordinates are slaves.
For example, the Yongzheng Emperor's biological mother, Princess De, was born in the Shangsan Banner's Ministry of Internal Affairs, and according to incomplete statistics, the Qing Dynasty's baoyi served as a university scholar and a university assistant scholar, including Laibao, Gao Bin, Yinghe (who also served as a military minister), Yinglian, Guanwen, and Chongjin.
So since Bao Yi was a good citizen, why did Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin say that he was a "poor man in bao yi" to the Kangxi Emperor?
This is mainly from the eight flags system.
The Manchus had a relatively simple tribal system before they entered the border, similar to the Germans who destroyed the Roman Empire; these tribes were all based on martial arts.
Whether he is a good person or not is not a matter of virtue, but of whether this person is strong in combat effectiveness or not.
The main reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to replace the Ming Dynasty was the heaviest military feat.
Before the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, it was stipulated that no matter what kind of origin, as long as it was the first to rush to the head of the city when attacking the city, it was immediately granted a worldly post.
Under this system, think about how the servants who can only be waiters and cooks can be treated.
Even in today's society, don't many people also look down on waiters, manicurists, and foot-washing technicians?
Are these foot-washers and manicurists also slaves?
Secondly, under the Eight Banners system, everyone was the emperor's soldiers and slaves, so it was appropriate for Cao Xueqin's grandfather Cao Yin to call himself a "lowly man" when he gave the Kangxi Emperor a fold.
Sometimes nannies and massage technicians also laugh at themselves as "waiters"?
After talking about the wrapping, let's talk about how the Qing Dynasty royal family treated the clan room.
The Eight Brothers in the "Yongzheng Dynasty" TV series
How harshly did the Qing Dynasty treat the clan chambers?
Before the Yongzheng Dynasty, adult members of the Aisin Kyora royal family could not idle at home and eat white rice if they did not have a job, they had to be incorporated into the bag, and they were to serve as the attendants of the royal family members who were not admitted to the eight-point public level in the Eight Banners.
In other words, during the Kangxi Dynasty, the idle clan was to be incorporated into the coat book to serve other members of the royal family with positions and titles.
In the forty-seventh year of the Kangxi Dynasty, the Kangxi Emperor briefly removed his own son, The Eight Brothers Yinqi, from the title of Baylor, demoted him to an idle clan room, and incorporated them into a book of clothing, turning the Eight Brothers into his own attendants.
In other words, before the Yongzheng Dynasty, all idle clans would have been incorporated into the Imperial Household, at least the rules were like this; of course, these idle Clan Rooms would not really serve the members of the Imperial Family who were incorporated into the Imperial Household.
But this is indeed a great insult to those royals who are idle and want to "lie flat".
This is really at the institutional level that forces the members of the royal family to be motivated.
After the Yongzheng Emperor ascended the throne, in order to win the support of the vast number of low-level imperial families, he took the initiative to abolish this article, after all, many idle clans may not be their own efforts, or it may be that they have failed to compete for posts, so it is inevitable that all of them will be incorporated into the book of clothing.
