"This is why you were beaten up by the Eight Banners veterans today.”
"If you were prepared and didn't relax, how could you have fallen into such a helpless situation?”
"Look at Abuhan. Ingrid was also a new recruit of the Eight Banners Army. He didn't slack off. Not only did he not do what you did this time, but he also beat up the veterans who attacked them.”
Guardia. Rhode said to all the recruits.
His words were filled with a strong warning.
For the Qing Dynasty military camp, this was also a kind of inheritance.
After the thousands of Eight Banners recruits heard this, the anger and hatred on their faces gradually disappeared, and they were in deep thought.
Seeing this.
Guardia. Rhode nodded in satisfaction.
"Brother English, you've been praised by Jia La 'er.”
Shi Dun. Du Duo and the others were very excited.
If it wasn't for Abu Han. Ingley, they must be one of the thousands of recruits who were beaten up.
" Recruit camp, let's start."
"Strength is victory, and victory is power.”
Abraham. Ingrid clenched his fists, his heart full of anticipation.
He knew.
He had made the right bet this time.
At this moment, the recruits looked at him with a different expression. They were full of admiration and respect.
Moreover, his actions today would definitely be reported to the military camp. It might even reach the ears of the high and mighty Qing Emperor Huang Taiji.
After all.
Leading a new recruit to beat up a veteran who ambushed them was the first time in the Qing army.
He was very rare. Yingeli's words might be recorded in Huang Taiji's ears.
Don't look at it as if it didn't have any unique effects, but in the future, it would be rare. If Engeli killed the enemy and made a meritorious service, those generals, lieutenants, princes, and even Huang Taiji would definitely have an impression of him and give him special treatment.
This was Abu Han. Ingri's plan.
In the army.
Bravery was far from enough, one had to have a brain.
At this moment.
Guardia. " Today is the second day of your enlistment." Rhode spoke again.”
"Likewise."
"It is also the key to determining your military position.”
As soon as he finished speaking.
Guardia. Rhode looked at Abu Han. All the recruits were surprised, but the veterans seemed to know what would happen next.
"Abuhan. Ingrid." Guardia. Rhode said loudly.
"Your subordinate is here."
Abraham. Ingri walked out with a straight body and bowed.
"You didn't relax and even countered the sneak attack of the veterans. This is the first time in the Qing Dynasty.”
"And you were able to mobilize the new recruits in the barracks to resist the enemy together. It's enough to show that you have courage and resourcefulness.”
"Today, I will promote you to acting station chief.”
Guardia. Rhode said to Abu Han. said English.
As soon as he finished speaking.
All the recruits in the recruit camp were shocked.
A station chief was in charge of a 50-man army. It would take three to five years for an ordinary person to be promoted to a station chief.
And at this moment, Abu Han. Ingrid, a new Eight Banners Warrior, was promoted to station commander. Wasn't this too fast? It was unbelievable.
Not only the Eight Banners recruits, but the veterans were also the same. They all looked at Jala-Ezhenguaerjia in a daze. Rhode.
"What's wrong with the general today?"
"In the past, even the position of the chief was only decided after half a month, after the training of the recruits. At the beginning, only the best ones were selected to be promoted to the chief.”
"It seems that today is the day of this Abu Han. The general was impressed by English's brilliance, but this Abu Han... Ingley was indeed powerful. He brought the Eight Banners recruits and defeated us veterans.”
Many people thought to themselves.
"As expected of Brother English.”
"On the second day of enlistment, he actually became a station commander.”
"The station commander has 50 soldiers. We can be with Brother English in the future.”
Shi Dun. The nineteen people from Duduo Village were all very excited.
In the Qing army, the ranks were clear.
Five people in a team, set up a five long; Two teams in a team, set up a ten long; Five tenths was a village, with a village chief, two villages were a hundred, one centurion, three hundred people, one Niuluezhen, five Niuluezhen, one Jialanezhen, five Jialanezhen, one Gushan ezhen. One Gushan had at least twenty-five Niulu, which was seven thousand five hundred people. Sometimes, one Gushan could bring more than sixty Niulu, which was more than twenty thousand people. Above Gushan was the Banner Lord. The Banner Lord was the brother, son, and nephew of Emperor Huangtaiji. Usually, he wasn't in the military camp. Therefore, Gushan 'er was the highest official in the military camp.
Then, who was more powerful, the lieutenants or the Banner Lords?
Without a doubt, the answer was the Banner Lord.
The Manchu Eight Banners had a strict hierarchy. No matter who you were or what position you held, even if you were a first-rank official, as long as you were still a Bannerman, you had to kowtow to the Banner Lord. From this, it seemed that the official position of the Banner Lord of the Eight Banners should be higher than the first rank.
Among the Eight Banners, the highest official position was the lieutenant. He was in charge of the number of people in the flag, education, inheritance of official titles, and military training. The position of the lieutenant was already very high, but it was still not as high as the Banner Lord because the lieutenant had to listen to the Banner Lord. The Banner Lord was an iron-hat king that was passed down from generation to generation. From this, one could see how high the official position of the Eight Banners Banner Lords was.
Generally speaking, the upper three banners were directly controlled by the emperor, while the lower five banners were basically controlled by the nobles. Generally speaking, they were all princes or belles. These people had high status. If they took on the position of Banner Lord of one of the banners, their status would be even more prominent. It was already higher than ordinary official positions. They should be the core figures of the core ruling class during the Qing Dynasty.
In the beginning, the eight banners were held by Nurhachi and his sons or nephews. It should be known that the eight banners were a community that gathered population, military power, and property. In the early days, although the emperor was the supreme leader and commander, he implemented a system of enfeoffment. The population of the eight banners was rewarded to the princes and royal family. The land and property attached to the population became the private property or private attachment of these princes and royal family.
In fact, the Banner Lord system of the Eight Banners was much more advanced than the Ming Dynasty's system of conferring kings.
The Qing Dynasty had a notable feature, the Eight Banners system. It included politics, military, society, and many other aspects, so if you wanted to understand the system of the Qing Dynasty, you had to mention the Eight Banners. In order to let more readers understand the Eight Banners system, I will talk about the advantages of the Eight Banners system.
First, the emergence of the Eight Banners and the advancement of the feudal lord enfeoffment system compared to the previous king enfeoffment system.
The Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty were created and developed in military wars. To be specific, they were an organization that integrated military, administrative, and production functions to adapt to wars and annexations. It was mainly a military function, and then there was the administrative management of the banner people.
Before entering the pass, the soldiers did not receive any pay. Their main production was hunting and gathering. There was also some agriculture. Their main source of income was to send troops to plunder property. After the Later Jin regime entered Liaoshen, it occupied a large amount of land, and the so-called "counting the number of men and granting the land" appeared. This also became the main production function of the Eight Banners, but this function basically disappeared after entering Shanhaiguan.
In the process of military annexation, the Manchurian Eight Banners conquered a large number of subordinates. These subordinates were compiled into Niu Lu (assistant leader) and distributed to those with higher status and meritorious service in the family. Those with higher status had the whole flag or half-flag. This was the so-called Eight Banners Lord enfeoffment system.
Those who helped Nurhachi conquer the world would be rewarded accordingly and given the title of Niulu. In addition, those who led the troops to surrender were also compiled into Niu Lu and ordered to lead. These two forms belonged to the enfeoffment of different surnames. However, the feudal lords with different surnames and their cattle were under the leadership of the Aisin Gioro family. For example, Eyidu, one of the five ministers with different surnames, was originally under the white flag, which was under the lord Azik. Later, his descendants were changed to the yellow flag, which was under the flag of the emperor.
Meritorious officials with different surnames were divided under the banner lord of a certain flag, so they had no independence. Therefore, these people had dual identities. From the perspective of the assistant leader he led, he was the master. There were subordinates below him, but there was also a master above him. Therefore, he had the identity of a slave and the identity of a master.
The feudal lord enfeoffment system of the Eight Banners was different from the typical enfeoffment system of the Western Zhou Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty. Its uniqueness could be summarized in four words: "enfeoffment but not construction." The so-called "enfeoffment but not establishment" referred to only enfeoffing subjects to become feudal lords (Banner Lords), but not establishing states. The feudal lords (Banner Lords) were not the monarch, and all feudal lords (Banner Lords) gathered in the capital city and were under the central control.
The Eight Banners each led their subordinates and were mobilized by the central government. Once there was a war, they would be directly selected to form a temporary army. During the enfeoffment of the Western Zhou Dynasty, the various feudal lords were enfeoffed to various parts of the country to establish their own kingdoms. The same was true for the Mongols. Genghis Khan's family had conquered the entire continent of Europe and Asia and had enfeoffed some Khanates. The Yuan Dynasty established in East Asia was actually just one of the kingdoms.
Even after the fall of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolians were chased north of the Great Wall by the Ming Dynasty. Their enfeoffment was still spread across the desert, and there were independent tribes in various places. This was very different from the enfeoffment of the Manchu people, and this was also Nurhachi's brilliance. In this way, they could avoid the scattering of the national army and political division, and they could concentrate their forces to annex and conquer the places they wanted to conquer.
At first, Nurhachi's army was much weaker than the Mongolian Chahar's army at that time. However, because the Mongolians were scattered and enfeoffed, there were internal contradictions and divisions. Some tribes submitted to the Manchu regime, and the Manchu Eight Banners finally defeated the scattered Mongolian tribes such as Chahar. The Eight Banners was a special feudal system, which was also a very important factor for the Manchu to unify the northeast, conquer Mongolia, and establish the Later Jin regime before entering the pass.
Second, the Eight Banners had one Banner Lord who controlled the Manchurian, Mongol, and Han Banners.
During the Nurhachi period, the Eight Banners were established, and the flag was called "Gushan" in Manchu. At that time, the Eight Banners were mainly composed of Jurchen people, but there were also Mongolians and Han Chinese. There were eight flags. One flag or one lord, or two or more lords. Each flag had a lord as the flag lord. A flag could have many lords, but there was only one flag lord. Therefore, flag lord and lord were not synonymous. The lord was the leader of all the bulls. There might only be one or a few in a flag. The Banner Lord was in charge of the entire flag affairs, so the Banner Lord had the dual identity of a lord and a chief officer of the flag affairs.
The number of bulls recorded under each flag of the Eight Banners was also different. Some flags were larger, so there were more bulls recorded. Some flags had fewer bulls recorded. During Nurhachi's time, he led a large number of people with two yellow flags. His younger brother Shurhaqi also led a large number of people with flags, while Nurhachi's sons led a small number of people with flags.
