In the first part, Lu Bing's father's struggle - the Changguo Gong case mentioned that the relationship between Lu Bing's family and the emperor began with his grandfather Lu Qi. Lu Qi was literate, initially did clerical work in the local health office, Chenghua (Jiajing's grandfather) was recruited to Beijing in the year, subordinate to Jinyi Wei, and the official rank was from the seventh rank of Xiaoqi.
Grassroots brocade guards are consumables, but whenever you encounter royal family members into the domain, marriage, death and other scenes, you have to choose some brocade guards to accompany you, the number of different configurations of the royal family level is also different, from a few to dozens of hundreds of thousands, but the scale of the royal family is huge, so the brocade guard has a long-term shortage of people, and it is necessary to make up for people.
In the seventh year of Hongzhi, King Xing Zhu Youqi (Jiajing's biological father) traveled from Beijing to Zhongxiang, Hubei Province to take up the domain, and Lu Qi was selected as an entourage (600 in total).
Lu Qi's official position in the palace is the Honor Guard Division is the Qipin General Banner, the duty is to guard the palace, the official identity is called the palace captain, the establishment belongs to the Jinyi Wei field staff, before being sent to the palace, his identity in the Jinyi Wei is the Jinyi Captain - the most basic employee of the Jinyi Guard.
The most critical functions of the Jinyi Guard are the honor guard, in vitro supervision (officials), and the maintenance of law and order in the capital, and the main body of these duties is the Jinyi captain like Lu Qi.
Stills from "Ming Dynasty 15666".
Captain is a military rank, but in the Ming Dynasty, almost only Jinyi Wei was used, so some official texts will directly replace Jinyi Captain with Captain Commander.
The core organizational unit of Jinyiwei is Qianhusu, the ordinary military guards are basically maintained at five, and the Jinyiwei has been maintained at more than a dozen for a long time. However, the establishment of the Jinyi school captain is basically only set up in the first five core thousand households, that is, the front, rear, left, right, and center. The core work of Jinyiwei is responsible for these five cores, and the main body of implementation is the school captain in its establishment.
Insert a sentence: the status of the core five institutes is higher than that of the subordinate six institutes (upper middle, upper front, upper back, upper left, upper right, middle and back), and the establishment of the subordinate six institutes is mainly Jinyi Lux. Therefore, the status of the captain is slightly higher than that of the wrestler, and the Jinyiwei sometimes uses the transfer as a means of reward - from the wrestler to the captain, which is a bit of a police officer to a criminal policeman. The content of Lux will be expanded separately in the next part.
The guard of honor is the core of the duties of the captain of Jinyi, and 530 captains participate in the palace ban duty every day, and they are rotated every three days. Of course, the target is only the emperor, not the other members of the royal family in the palace.
At the age of 14, the prince was able to have his own lieutenant, transferred from Jinyiwei. At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, there was no clear record of how many captains a prince could have, and the standard of 600 people was established in the middle of Hongzhi, and the changes in Hongzhi were mainly reduced, according to which it is estimated that a prince in the early Ming Dynasty was about 1,000 captains.
The target of a county king in the early Ming Dynasty was 100 captains, which was reduced to 30 during the Hongzhi period, and only 10 of the 30 people were transferred from Jinyi Wei at most, and the rest of the gaps were recruited by the county king himself from the surrounding guards or the people. Even the prince's standard of 600 people is difficult to get together, they are all given a part first, and the gap is dragged, and it doesn't matter if it is delayed.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the lieutenant had a higher status, so it was useful! For example, Judy personally conquered the Northern Expedition many times, and the captain followed the captain out of Beijing to fight because he wanted to protect the emperor. The last large-scale battle may be to go to Tumu Fort with Yingzong, and then they are all buried. Zheng He also participated in a large number of captains when he traveled to the west, and as long as he went to the West at that time, no matter whether he survived or died, he would be guaranteed to raise the seven-grade general flag when he came back.
However, by the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the lieutenants had already lost their combat functions, especially the captains of the royal palace, who were basically servants doing odd jobs, and it didn't matter whether they were or not, and some military households would pay to hire people to work in the palace, and even use the method of equalization to directly pay money for service, and no one would go to the palace at all. Therefore, the gap between the princes and the county kings is most likely to be uneven. So Lu Bing's father, Lu Song, said that the good thing is the palace guard, and the bad thing is that he does chores, and the prince is not allowed to leave the house without permission, what else do you have to guard!
In addition, royal women, such as princesses, are also eligible to marry 3 captains in brocade clothes, plus 37 sergeants, a total of 40 strong laborers. Longqing (Jiajing's son Yuwang) also allowed the princess and the concubine to keep these guards on the spot after their deaths.
Daming Dynasty 1566
Certain special high-ranking officials are also eligible for lieutenants. For example, in the previous article on Jiajing's longevity secret, the Taoist priest Shao Yuanjie, in the twelfth year of Jiajing, he was named a Zhengyi real person by Jiajing, who had not yet ascended to immortality, and then Jinyiwei transferred 40 captains to act as guards, rotating quarterly.
The source of the lieutenant is mainly recruited from the people, and the standard is to be powerful, strong, innocent, and inphysical.
Strength and strength are indicators of physical and individual combat effectiveness. No offense is a political trial, as now, some positions must issue a certificate of no crime, and according to the ancient practice, it is generally necessary to check up three generations (counting yourself is four generations). Body qi is a physical examination, and in ancient times, poor health conditions, such as body odor, fox odor, bad breath, foot odor and other body odors are more obvious, and they cannot smoke people.
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the sergeants of Zhu Yuanzhang's period had a higher status, had food and salary, and joining the army became a sunny road for many poor peasants to get rid of their abject poverty life, so they did not worry about the source. Judy was about the same, he began to recruit troops on a large scale as soon as he made a revolution, and some of the soldiers were incorporated into the Imperial Honor Guard Division as a captain, and after he became the emperor, the Imperial Honor Guard Division was automatically merged into the Jinyi Guard, and the establishment of these people automatically became the Jinyi Captain.
Judy 正像AI复原
After Judy, the main way for Jinyiwei to replenish manpower was to forcibly select and transfer from the local health center like Lu Bing's grandfather, Lu Qi. Because the income of being a soldier has declined, the number of people who have taken the initiative to recharge is insufficient, and the relevant officials can only take the military registration file and check it out from above.
Although the lieutenant of Jinyi is included in the military rank, he does not carry out the case of hooking, that is, he does not bear hereditary obligations. Because hereditary does not look at the body, and the captain mainly serves the emperor, there are requirements for both the body and the background.
If the captain escapes, those who can be caught will be captured back to Jinyiwei and continue to work. If he can't be caught, he will go to the house of the fugitive lieutenant to catch another strong man, and confiscate him into the army to serve in other guards (Judy has relaxed to the newly captured Ding Zhuang can still serve in the Jinyi guard). If the fleeing army is never captured, then the family may be converted into a military household and need to bear military service permanently, so the cost of fleeing is actually very high.
If a lieutenant is discharged from active service due to old age, illness, or death, the government of his place of origin will select another qualified person from other local households to replace him. It is easy to distinguish between illness and death, but there is no clear or uniform rule on how old the old is counted, but the Yingzong Dynasty once issued an edict - 60 years old, which is the same as the retirement age of men now, and it is unknown whether it is a unified standard of the Ming Dynasty.
The treatment of the captain is the same as that of the guard, which is one stone per month. However, the captain is subordinate to Jinyiwei, and Jinyiwei's monthly salary is to receive rice in full, not according to four-six or three-seven discount money or other property, from this point of view, even if the treatment is the same, the captain is still superior. The legal status of a colonel is the same as that of a guard sergeant, with no additional immunity.
Don't look down on the captain, this is the serious establishment of Jinyiwei, and it is within the system, and there is a way to transfer capable people when they come in. For example, Xie Yi, a native of Nanchang, after he became a school captain, he went to the Dongchang eunuch Zhang Rui, and wandered back and forth in the minister's house as the captain of the Dongchang Detective School, and finally was involved in the Chenhao Rebellion and was successfully killed, so he was able to leave his name in history!
