The initial understanding of Jinyiwei did not come from the enthusiasm for the Ming Dynasty bureaucracy, but because of a glimpse of the gorgeous flying fish suit on the Internet.
Behind the beauty of the flying fish suit, there is a history of Jinyiwei's iron blood.
The history of Jinyiwei is almost contemporaneous with that of the Ming Dynasty. Their birth originated from Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicious heart, and he needed a force that could reassure him.
In the fifteenth year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has been on the throne for 15 years. He observed the Korean Chinese Wu**, old friends who had fought side by side, and wondered if they were loyal only for selfish gain. After the iron-blooded battlefield, are their loyalties driven by profit?
Zhu Yuanzhang lacked trust in the ministers around him, but he could not confirm his suspicions with conclusive evidence. Therefore, he decided to set up an organization directly under the imperial power to monitor the ministers and clans of the court.
With the germination of Zhu Yuanzhang's idea, Jinyiwei came into being.
Jin Yiwei recruited the best soldiers of the Ming Dynasty and obtained direct authorization from Zhu Yuanzhang to make them the enforcers of the laws of the Ming Dynasty.
Jin Yiwei, just like Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, condescendingly monitors everything.
Zhu Yuanzhang longs for centralization, and what he pursues is the centralization of power. Therefore, in order to maintain his authority and ensure the smooth succession of Zhu Yunwen, he launched the Blue Jade Case.
This is the background of the birth of Jinyiwei, in order to consolidate Zhu Yuanzhang's rule, it is also Zhu Yuanzhang's weapon.
The Jinyi guards are focused on the completion of their mission, so they have the right to arrest suspects at will and interrogate and torture them with brutality and ruthlessness.
The original Jinyi Wei only selected people with strong martial arts. However, then ** realized the power of Jinyiwei and sent his children to be selected. Therefore, most of the later Jinyi guards came from military families.
The Jinyi guards are absolutely obedient to the imperial power, so they can search at will**.
This kind of brocade guard has become a nightmare for **, even **dignitaries, they don't dare to offend this organization. Jinyiwei controls the entire Ming Dynasty, guards the palace, monitors courtiers, investigates cases, maintains imperial power, and is extremely loyal.
The appearance of Jinyiwei made Zhu Yuanzhang feel at ease, and this power continued until Zhu Di ascended the throne.
Later, with the emergence of the cabinet and the addition of eunuchs, the power of the Ming Dynasty weakened day by day, and Jinyiwei was gradually excluded from power and replaced by eunuchs.
In order to maintain power, Jin Yiwei began to change his strategy, willing to give up his dignity and flatter those in power. However, Jin Yiwei still maintained his principles, even if he lost his central position.
With Li Zicheng's invasion of Beijing, Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide, and the fall of the Ming Dynasty became a foregone conclusion. However, the Jinyi Guard still guarded the Zhu family and supported the establishment of Nanming. The members of the Jinyi Guard swore to defend the safety of the Nanming royal family and resolutely defend the orthodoxy of the Ming Dynasty.
Even at the time of the demise of the Southern Ming, the Jinyi Guards were still wearing flying fish suits, but this time, their swords were pointed at the foreign enemy, fighting for the last battle of the Ming Dynasty and becoming the last warrior of the Ming Dynasty.
In the process of defending the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei had fierce battles with the army of King Chuang and the army of the Qing Dynasty.
In the end, all the Jinyi guards were killed in battle, and Nanming also perished on that day. Before the fall of Jinyiwei, Nanming existed, and so did Daming.
The entire army of Jinyiwei was annihilated, and the glory of the Ming Dynasty was forged with blood. They are loyal to their original intentions: "We never care about life and death, we only want to die for the emperor's kindness."
