The imperial guards of the Qing Dynasty
The imperial guards of the Qing Dynasty had many characteristics: ** 1. Origin and Development ** 1. ** Origin ** - Its origin could be traced back to the Qing Taizu Nurhachi period, when the bodyguard system was established. At first, the imperial guards and the guards of Qianqing Gate were used by the yellow, yellow and white flags. There was no fixed number of posts and rank restrictions. They were personally selected by the emperor to guard the palace and managed by the ministers in charge of the guards. The guards of the Han Dynasty were used by Wu Jinshi. 2. ** Development ** - During the Kangxi period, the situation changed. In the twenty-ninth year of Kangxi, because of the excellent skills of Wu Jinshi, he was selected to be a bodyguard, who was on duty with the three flags. As the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty continued to concentrate, consolidate, and develop, the bodyguard team continued to grow, and the bodyguard system became more and more detailed. The guards were carefully divided into grades and quotas. During the reign of Emperor Kangxi, the positions of imperial ministers, imperial guards, and Qianqing Gate guards were specially set up. There were no fixed number of posts and rank restrictions, and they were personally selected by the emperor. These people were basically the sons of the Manchurian and Mongol princes, the children of the imperial clan, and the guards who were appreciated by the emperor. Moreover, the imperial guards and the guards of Qianqing Gate were not under the jurisdiction of the minister leading the guards. They were all under the management of the imperial minister. ** 2. Selection Requirements ** 1. ** Family background ** - Most of them were people with backgrounds in the Eight Banners, especially the children of the Manchurian and Mongolian nobles. For example, the descendants of meritorious officials and prominent family backgrounds were important factors in the selection because their family's glory and life were closely related to the emperor. 2. ** Loyalty Cultivation ** - He had been taught loyalty since he was young. Under the influence of the Qing Dynasty, the concept of loyalty was deeply rooted in his heart. They were taught to be loyal to the emperor and knew the serious consequences of offending the emperor. Betrayal would not only cost their lives, but also their families. At the same time, they had received military training since they were young and were familiar with all kinds of rules. ** 3. Treatment and Status ** 1. ** Material treatment ** - The generous salary was one of the important factors that attracted them to work for the emperor. 2. ** Political treatment and status ** - Their status was noble, and they had many privileges and rewards. As the emperor's attendants, they could use some special treatment. Moreover, the promotion channels were much wider than other personnel. They could even change from soldiers with swords to civil officials. This was a great honor for individuals and families. ** 4. The Emperor's Protective Steps and Foundation of Trust ** 1. ** Protective measures ** - The emperor had a powerful intelligence network and means of supervision. The words and deeds of the imperial guards and their interactions would be monitored. The emperor could also roughly grasp their thoughts. The emperor would also arrange for his trusted aides to supervise and restrict each other among the guards to prevent the guards from rebelling together. 2. ** Foundation of Trust ** - Although there were cases of personal guards assassinating the emperor (such as the assassination of Emperor Jiaqing by Chen De in 1803), most of the imperial guards were loyal. On the one hand, the strict selection and education made loyalty their basic quality, and on the other hand, the emperor's employment strategy was to reward and promote loyal guards and severely punish those who had second thoughts. This also made the imperial guards as a whole a protective force trusted by the emperor. The novel "Hello, Guard, Goodbye, Guard" is equally exciting. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

Are the Qing Dynasty imperial guards very powerful?
The imperial guards of the Qing Dynasty had strong abilities in many aspects. Judging from the selection mechanism, the internal court guards were mostly selected from the descendants of the royal relatives and martial scholars who had made meritorious contributions. These people needed to go through a series of rigorous training, such as wrestling, fighting, equestrian, archery, and other competitions. Only through the survival of the fittest could they become imperial guards. This showed that they had been screened and tempered in terms of physical fitness and combat skills. In terms of duty, they were the last barrier around the emperor. They were responsible for protecting the emperor, the members of the royal family, and the safety of the palace. They had to patrol the palace garden every day to guard against outsiders, guard important places to observe the overall situation, and guard the emperor when there was a grand ceremony. In special circumstances, such as when the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded China in 1900, Gong Baotian had to escort the emperor to Xi'an as an imperial guard. In 1901, he escorted Cixi and Guangxu back to Beijing, which showed that they had important responsibilities and corresponding abilities in dealing with dangerous situations. In terms of treatment and development opportunities, the imperial guards enjoyed a generous salary, far more than ordinary people. They had the opportunity to serve the emperor up close. If they were appreciated by the emperor, they might rise to the top. For example, He Shen sat all the way from the guard to the throne of prime minister. This also reflected that the imperial guards were given such a promotion channel because they were considered to have a certain ability and potential at that time. However, in the late Qing Dynasty, the entire dynasty fell into decadence and decline. This kind of environment may have had a certain impact on the overall quality of the imperial guards. But overall, the imperial guards of the Qing Dynasty had a certain strength and influence within their scope of functions. The novel " Hello, Guard, Goodbye, Guard " is equally exciting.

Was the status of the imperial guards in the Qing Dynasty high?
In the Qing Dynasty, the imperial guards in yellow mandarin jackets had a higher status. The imperial guards were the elites of the Qing army and were the closest to the emperor. The selection process was very strict. They had to be nobles of the Upper Three Banners, and they had to go through an examination similar to the Martial Arts Examination. In terms of treatment, the salary was generous. For example, Emperor Qianlong often rewarded him with 10,000 taels. They also had the opportunity to be promoted quickly, like He Shen, who started as an inner guard and was gradually promoted. The yellow vest was one of the symbols of the palace guards. Its purpose was to strengthen the appearance of the army and distinguish the attendants. It was a special political treatment that showed the difference between them and other officials. Moreover, the imperial guards had the honor of the yellow vest in the early Qing Dynasty, but the Prince Baylor did not have it even though he was noble.
