How did Jinyiwei become the rider of the Angry Horse in Fresh Clothes?
How to put on a new outfit and become a knight in shining armor?
In the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei was considered a formidable and elusive organization, but its strength and generosity attracted many to follow them and become one of the enviable Brightly Colored members. So, how to become a member of Jinyiwei and become a brave and mighty one"Iron Ride"This?
Ti"It means orange-red, and it has been the main color of Jinyiwei since the Qin Dynasty. During the Ming Dynasty, Jinyunwei was called"Ti Ride"。
The first members of the Jinshenwei Group came from the Taiwei Mansion and the Luanzhi Administration. However, in the years before and after the official establishment of Jin Shenwei, Taizu passed"All commanded envoys"Several major expansions have been undertaken. For example, in the twelfth year of Hongwu, more than 1,300 soldiers were recruited in Hangzhou and other places; In the seventeenth year of Hongwu, recruited"More than 14,200 people in Lux"。..
Unlike the conscription system usually used by the Ming army,"Menstrual hair"Preferential conditions were provided over ordinary soldiers, which attracted both civilian and military households to voluntarily join the ranks of the jinshi. The relevant recruitment criteria are also relatively relaxed: as long as they are in good health, have no criminal record or bad criminal record"A strong man who is free of illness and no offense"Can.
Please note"Menstrual hair"is a term used by the Ming army, with"Eternal Campaign"(A type of military used by Zhu Yuanzhang's rebel army),"Yuan Zheng"(Recruiting enemy soldiers) as opposed to other methods of recruitment, such as:"Membership"(conscripted for a criminal offence) and"Stacked fields"(Soldiers were recruited directly and proportionally from local households).
Jin Shenwei adopts the hereditary military registration system of the Ming army, personnel"Only in but not out"。After Ming Chengzu set up the Beizhen Fusi, the organizational structure of the Jin Shenwei guerrillas was more complete, and they no longer recruited new recruits on a large scale. Although the gate of Kaneshiro is not closed, there are still several roads to enter.
First of all"air"
Based on"Treat death as life"The Ming emperor restored the funeral system, requiring concubines and harem women to stay by his side after death. In order to appease the families of these concubines (and also to encourage the concubines to voluntarily die), Emperor Jianwen incorporated them into the Jinyinwei or gave them hereditary gold and silver baifu.
After the death of Ming Yingzong, the edict abolished the funeral system, and there were not many people who entered Jinyunwei in this way.
Another with"Teochew female household"A similar approach is:"Jinshi female household"。For those concubines who have excelled and are highly regarded in the court (e.g., concubines who serve the emperor, empress, or noble concubine family), their family members can join temporarily"Into the deep female household"(without altering the original household register) and receiving the appropriate salary until the concubine dies or leaves the court.
Second, Grace Palace.
In the old royal palaces, newborn royal children were usually separated from their mothers at birth and lived alone in different palaces. Despite the ruthlessness of the imperial system, humanity is still full of emotion. As a result, most emperors developed a deep bond with a wet nurse or nanny who accompanied them as they grew up. In gratitude for their nurturing grace, the emperor usually gave them a routine reward when he ascended the throne.
The Yang family started with his mother Jin as the Duchess of Weisheng, and Mingrenzong called her the Duchess of Yisheng, and each generation of emperors would add several new wives, or Yisheng, or Weisheng, or Yousheng, until the reign of the protector of Mingxizong, the wife of the country. At the same time, it is said that these ladies also gave gifts to the imperial family, and it is said that the hereditary bronze vessels of Hyakyoto and Chinoha were taken out as prizes. For example, Ji Fu, the husband of Ming Xianzong's mother, Liu, was appointed as the commander of the Jinyi Guard (hereditary).
In addition to wet nurses and nannies, the emperor also had close attendants by his side. Of course, the emperor also had to meet the needs of his servants. However, since the eunuch is"Captive", they can't start a family and they can't use a surname. Therefore, the emperor allowed them to pass"Push the officer"Seek official positions for relatives and clans.
With the rise of eunuchs, these"Lieutenant Officer"The number gradually exceeded the limit of the family, and the number is constantly increasing. With the growth of the eunuchs' power, a large number of new gentry also appeared.
The third is the Meritorious Service Award. The gentry were not only awarded to the emperor's courtiers and eunuchs, but also to the court's civil and military affairs.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the official position of the gentry was usually awarded to military generals with military merits, or soldiers were recruited from the army into the gentry. Due to the strict regulations on military service at the time, many people could not enter the gentry by virtue of military service. However, due to the abuse of military service by the Chenghua Dynasty, this situation reached unimaginable proportions in the Hongji Dynasty.
For example, in the fourteenth year of Hongzhi, Zhu Hui led his army to the Yansui region to repel the Mongol invasion, and the results were 12 levels, but the number of precious generals reported was more than 12,000. In the eighteenth year of Hongzhi, the Ming army caught the ninth-level enemy army attacking Mongolia in the Datong area, but after the war,"There were 418 people who charged and broke the enemy, 831 people who were three times the first, and 276 people who were wounded. "。."Including the reports of the Honorary Generals.
Zhengde ascended the throne after financial difficulties, and Emperor Wu's military merit reward principle was caused"It is better to reward more than to reward more"becomes"It is better to be idle than to be idle"(Reward refers to wealth, leisure refers to hereditary official position). At the same time, the scale of the gentry also began to expand rapidly during this period (until the Jiajing Dynasty).
It is worth noting that, judging from the incidental reports of the military merit medals of the Chenghua, Hongzhi, and Zhengde dynasties, starting from the Jiajing Dynasty, to"Battle Medal"As evidence, the system of awarding military merit medals according to the battlefield performance of generals began with"The first merit medal"This is evidenced by a system of awarding military merit medals according to the number of enemy troops.
In addition, after the Orthodox dynasty, as civilian power increased, especially when civilian officials began to grasp military power, civilian officials gradually received this reward. Initially, when the civil commanders returned to the palace from their expeditions, the emperor would reward his son with the title of jinshi in recognition of his military exploits. Later, even powerful and privileged court ministers were able to obtain jinshi for their children and grandchildren.
Since Jin Shengwei inherited the hereditary military registration system of the Ming Army, the overall scale of its personnel has gradually expanded. However, due to the limited number of ** who have real power in Jin Shengwei, the reward of the hereditary jinshi is only a fortune in principle, and there is no real power. However, ** is able to use his power and network to make it easier for the children of hereditary titles to obtain real positions in the Golden Guard.
After the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the civil official group accounted for a small proportion of the total number of red aristocrats, but it was an important part of the ** team. Therefore, although the red-clothed aristocracy was set up by the emperor to deal with **, the relationship with ** is not black and white, but a relationship of struggle and cooperation. Sometimes, the red-clothed nobles even became the tools of the imperial court to attack each other.
The fourth is the reward of relatives. Families that were related by marriage to emperors, feudal lords, and princesses usually received hereditary titles. The amount of the reward depends on the distance of the family; Closer families can receive fewer rewards, but at least one reward is indispensable to the family (e.g., the Zhang family, brother-in-law of Emperor Xiaozong of the Ming Dynasty). In addition, whether relatives could receive rewards depended on the emperor's mood; In general, the closer the blood relationship, the greater the chance of receiving a reward.
The fifth is:"The mark"。Daguan, also known as"Tatar Pass", refers to the generals of the Mongol, Jurchen, Semu, Turpan and other ethnic minorities who surrendered to the Ming Dynasty. In the history of the Ming Dynasty, because of the border with the Yongle Dynasty, it was agreed to return to the former name"Tartar Pass", said after the return"Tartar Pass"。
In the early years of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang realized that because the Northern Expedition did not achieve the expected purpose, especially in the"Battle of Lingbei"After the defeat, the strength of the Ming Dynasty was not enough to destroy the Northern Yuan. Therefore, he changed his tactics, on the one hand, suspending a large-scale offensive to restore power, and on the other hand, passing"Cultural offensive"Invite the Mongols back home. Among the Mongols who were invited to go south, those who were originally civilians were incorporated"Damin"Households, which were originally soldiers, were incorporated"Great army"Guard; As for those who were originally nobles and **, except for a very few who were incorporated into the imperial court, most of them did not gain real power, that is, official positions. As for those who were originally nobles and **, except for a very few who were incorporated into the imperial court, most of them were granted official positions without real power, ie"Official"。
In short, although the number of Jinyunwei members is generally increasing, the internal power distribution and reward mechanisms are diverse and complex.
In order to prevent the Mongol nobles from escaping the control of the Ming dynasty, the Ming emperor took steps and appointed two paid guards to manage these nobles. This is Baoding Wei and Jinyi Wei Zhenfu Division.
Those who were appointed to the history of Jinyiwei were also awarded the hereditary title of Jinyiwei. Their titles all have fixed prefixes, such as:"Jin Yiwei calmed Shi Shoulu"or"Jin Yiwei calmed Shi Shoulu"。In addition to the obedient people, the imperial court also bestowed titles on the nobles and gentry of the Mongols and other ethnic minorities who were friendly to them.
Not only did these lower-ranking magnates receive their salaries, but many of them (such as Yishi and Hamin) also helped the imperial court gather intelligence, conduct translation and communication, and conduct diplomatic activities.
In addition, there are other ways to enter Kanemui, such as the royal retransfer (the transfer of royal military duties to Kanejinwei after the vassal king ascends the throne) and the transfer of military craftsmen (or special skills). While these are not routine practices and there are not many people involved, they will not be discussed in detail in this article.
