Now in many TV dramas, there are some big internal guards, and different film and television dramas may make their image different, or funny, or cold. However, most TV series are for the so-called program effect, and there is no specific historical basis.
In fact, what we generally say about the Great Inner Master, only it may be the Qing Dynasty, and other times there is none. Their names are actually called first-class bodyguards, also called first-class guards, and if they are official, they are zhengsanpin, and in the guards, they are also first-class beings. Generally speaking, they are selected from the three flags, that is, the people who are white, yellow, and yellow.
Of course, it is necessary to select people who are very talented and strong in force to obtain such qualifications. Of course, the choice could not always be confined to the Manchus. The second way is to choose from the Han people, of course, it is also to choose from the people with high martial arts, the guards from the Three Banners have rated standards, and the Han guards do not have them. Moreover, after five years of Yongzheng, as long as it was Wu Zhuangyuan, they all had the qualifications of first-class bodyguards.
And what is their task? It is to give the emperor a vigil for them, this is called a guard, to keep a long vigil for them, to be a bodyguard. The second thing is to be an attendant to the emperor, to protect their daily life, and also to be a bodyguard, that is, to protect him from sleeping at night and protect his normal life during the day.
And this quota, the three banners of the Manchus, a total of sixty people, each flag is twenty people, in general, are selected by the second-class guards of each flag, and then selected, more kicks, less supplements. As for the guards in the clan, the quota is nine people, and each flag is three. Generally speaking, people with the position of duke have first-class bodyguards to be their bodyguards.
Of course, the first-class bodyguards are the three products, and the latter is also analogous, the second class is the fourth product, the third class is the fifth product, but they have been staying by the emperor's side, and their status is naturally not low. Otherwise, Erkang, who was still in Zhu Gege, would not have been so favored. As imperial guards, their swords are also unusual.
First-class guards, their arrival is basically without exception, the palace sword, produced by the office, the workmanship is also very good, this knife also has a different meaning. It is not only reflected in identity and workmanship, but also has a different power, this power is called the Imperial Killing, as the name suggests. As long as there were strangers, they appeared within five steps of the emperor, and the first-class guards could directly kill them with a knife.
Moreover, the blood could not splash on the emperor's body, it could only be a distance of three feet, which also required their martial arts to be high and their swords to be fast. Moreover, the guard knives in different periods were not the same, and in the Qianlong period, a knife penetrated the body, and the second knife was definitely not used. In the Jiaqing period, although the decoration was not very good, the sharpness was still almost the same as that of the Qianlong period, and at that time in Daoguang, the quality was very poor, and he did not go out, basically useless.
