Since the beginning of the Zhou Dynasty, China's ancient country has had the so-called "sub-feudal system", so that meritorious ministers and princes are divided into various places to maintain the stability of one side, although to a certain extent it has brought many benefits, but his drawbacks are also very obvious, that is, the foreign feudal king is easy to cause rebellion. Like the formation of the Spring and Autumn Warring States and the "Rebellion of the Eight Kings" of the Jin Dynasty were caused by the division of the seals, and by the time of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang's external sealing of the princes also brought great calamities, although to a certain extent stabilized the rule and reduced external troubles, but there were constant internal worries, and there were often situations in which the kings of the clan were divided.
In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Taiji learned the lessons of the Central Plains Dynasty in the past, so after entering the Customs, although the Qing Dynasty carried out a large number of knighthoods, it abolished the article of external sealing. Emperor Taiji was proclaimed empress dowager, and a large number of clans were enthroned, and according to the titles set, they were divided into nine grades, namely Prince Heshuo, King of Doro County, and Dorobelle... General Bong Eun. Today we will not talk about anything else, but let's first talk about what is going on with Baylor. And what kind of people can get such a knighthood, and what is their status in the Qing Dynasty?
At the time of the Qing Dynasty, many people who were named Baylor were basically because of military merit, and in the process of conquest, they made a lot of merits with their outstanding performance, and this kind of clan relative could get the corresponding title according to the size of his merit, and we can see that Baylor is in the third place, that is to say, his status is second only to the prince and the county king. So can the title be inherited? The answer is yes, as long as someone in the family receives the title of Baylor, then the eldest son is the future successor, and if there is no son, then one of the brothers will inherit the title. Once inherited, they fully enjoy all the privileges and benefits of this title.
Of course, there is another way to obtain the title of Baylor, but there are very few people who can enjoy this honor, because they have to be born as a prince. Therefore, even if you have not established the slightest merit, but because you are a prince, you can be rewarded as long as you meet a certain age requirement. However, knighthoods are not set in stone, but can be promoted. Generally speaking, if you perform well and contribute to the imperial court, you will have the opportunity to increase your title. When Yongzheng was only a prince, his title was initially Belle, but he was later made the Prince of Heshuoyong by Kangxi and enjoyed the highest title.
However, because the Qing Dynasty did not have a system of external sealing, no matter how high the title was, even if you were a prince, you had to live in the royal palace in the capital. The same is true of Baylor, so although the status of being crowned Baylor is very high, it has no real power, unlike before entering the customs, Baylor at that time was equivalent to the leader of a tribe, and there was a lot of real power in his hands. However, the Qing emperors after entering the customs learned to be clever, and in order to avoid the phenomenon of dividing the clan kings, they abolished the system of dividing the fiefs and replaced it with knights. But no matter how big the reward is, no matter how high the knighthood, it is unchanged that it will never be sealed.
