What is the difference between the words on the clothes of Qing Dynasty soldiers, Yong and Bing ?

Bing is an army with a formal formation, and Yong is an army recruited from the people, which is the difference between the two.

"Yong" refers to the local village bravery, and "soldier" refers to the best soldiers. The two belong to different things.

Yong is the landlord's armed force, self-recruited, is a "quasi-militarized" arm, and the soldiers are green battalion soldiers who are paid from the state, so the two establishment systems are different. The combat power is also different.

The "soldiers" on the military uniforms of the Qing Dynasty represent regular soldiers, which are the regular army of the Qing Dynasty, and "Yong" represents the township bravery, which selects brave and vigorous prime men from the township, recruits and forms when there is a war, and disbands after the war, similar to a mercenary. Although they all deal with war, their status and status vary greatly.

1. Historical origins. Initially, before the Qing army entered the customs, its main military force was the Eight Banners, which had amazing combat effectiveness. After the Qing army entered the customs, the Eight Banners were divided into the Eight Banners of the Beijing Camp and the Eight Banners of the Garrison.

The Eight Banners of the Jingying were the most well-equipped and well-trained, as they mainly protected the security of the capital and the imperial palace. The Eight Banners are mainly stationed in some geographically important areas, acting as the first line of defense when war breaks out. Whether it is the Eight Banners of the Beijing Camp or the Eight Banners of the garrison, there are not many of them, plus there is no war all year round, and the training is gradually decreasing, which leads to a rapid decline in its strength, and the Eight Banners in the middle and late stages have no combat effectiveness.

Therefore, in order to make up for the shortcomings of the Eight Banners, the Qing Dynasty formed a green battalion army that was all Han Chinese, and once surpassed the Eight Banners to become the main military force of the Qing Dynasty. The Green Battalion Army is distributed throughout the country and is mainly responsible for garrison defense, social security and other issues. Although the number of the green camp army is huge, it still seems to be insufficient, so in the Qianlong and Yongzheng years, the township Yong was recruited to form a temporary army, in order to show the difference, their uniforms were sewn with the word "Yong".

Except for those who are strong enough to join the regular army, the rest will be disbanded on the spot.

2. Differences in status. In the late Qing Dynasty, in order to resist the uprising movements in various places, the Qing ** continued to increase the intensity and frequency of the recruitment of Xiangyong, and finally retained it. The expenses of the Green Battalion Army and the Eight Banners are all allocated by the imperial court, and the Yulu is not low, while the status of the Xiangyong is much worse.

The military expenses for the formation of the Yong Battalion were paid by the local government, and the imperial court gave the local administrative authority. During the pacification of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, the brave army can be said to have made outstanding achievements and made a lot of contributions.

Bing refers to the regular army of the country, which is the main force of the armed forces, and Yong refers to the militia, which is not the regular army of the country, nor is it exclusive to the state.

Bing was the main force of the Qing Dynasty, including the Eight Banners Army and the Green Camp Army, while Yong was a temporary army that was used for warfare and was disbanded immediately after the war.

"Bing" was the standing armed force of the Qing Dynasty, including the Eight Banners Army and the Green Camp Army, which was the regular army of the Qing Dynasty and was directly subordinate to the emperor. If the Yongzheng and Qianlong dynasties encountered a war, and the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion Army were insufficient, they would take local materials and recruit the villagers to form an army in the Linchao, which was called "Yong", and was disbanded immediately after the war, which was not the regular army of the country.

During the Qing Dynasty, the soldiers were written on the military uniforms, they were real soldiers, and they were the ones who ate military rations, and the military uniforms were written with the word brave, which was composed of local people.

We can often see on TV that the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty have two words on their clothes: soldier and brave. So let's take a look at the difference between these two words written on the body today, in fact, the soldiers are the Eight Banners Army and the Green Battalion soldiers; That is, the regular army of the Qing Dynasty, that is, the army that the state raised with money.

The Qing army entered the customs examination was his Eight Banner Army, and the Eight Banners Army at that time was synonymous with invincibility, and there was a saying: The Jurchen is not satisfied with 10,000, and it is invincible! It can be seen how strong their combat effectiveness is, but no matter how strong they are, they can't change the fact that the number of people is small, and the huge China can occupy hundreds of thousands of eight banners?

That's a fantasy.

So there is the establishment of the Green Battalion, these Green Battalions are Han people from all over the country, plus after the Eight Banners Army entered the customs, the treatment was very good, so it gradually became corrupt, and the military quality was unsightly, some people Wuke couldn't even climb on horseback, and they couldn't hit the target when they rode three meters away from the horse, so when Wu Sangui rebelled, the Eight Banners Army was about to collapse, and the Green Battalion with the Han people as the main force officially became the main force on the battlefield.

But in the Qianlong period, the green camp also quickly became corrupt, because of the low salary, who will give you a hard time? So when it came to Qianlong's military parade, Qianlong saw that it was: "Shooting arrows and arrows are missing, and horsemen fall to the ground and hail orange ants" are embarrassed everywhere, so during the Taiping period, the green camp army only dared to chase behind the Taiping army, and it was not daring to fight, because the Taiping army with faith was not afraid of death, and the green battalion soldiers thought that it was not worth fighting hard, and the Jiangnan battalion was formed later.

The green camp barracks in the Jiangnan camp, where there are stalls, restaurants, and brothels, this is like a bazaar more than like a military camp, this is still written down by foreigners after seeing it, so relying on the Eight Banners and the Green Camp Qing Dynasty knew that it could not solve the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so Xianfeng ordered the Han bureaucrats to practice the village Yong regiment, so the word Yong written on the clothes was the village Yong.

They belong to the nature of the militia, and the food they eat is not given by the imperial court, so it is easy to form a warlord division in the later period of the source burial, plus they are to protect their hometown, so the combat effectiveness is very strong, like Zeng Guofan's Hunan army is one of the representatives, and later they gradually replaced the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, becoming a real regular army. Friends, what do you think of Xiang Yong? Feel free to leave a comment!

They have district brothers with different attributes, and the "soldiers" are regular troops that rely on the state's military salaries to support the envy, while the "brave" are self-sufficient local armed forces.

The ice on the clothes of the Manchu soldiers represented the soldiers of the Eight Banners, but some warriors were recruited from the countryside temporarily. They will be disbanded after the war.

Yong is generally a warrior, a higher status than a soldier, a person who has had military exploits, and was named a warrior by the imperial court.

Bing, a regular army, belongs to an established army. Yong, that is, Xiangyong, to put it bluntly, is a temporary worker. In other words, the difference between soldiers and bravery, in fact, is the difference between regular workers and temporary workers, specifically, today Golden Rabbit will briefly talk about the specific difference between soldiers and bravery.

Qing Dynasty soldiers with the word soldier on their chest are generally the country's standing armed forces.

soldiers, including the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion. The Eight Banners are divided into the Eight Banners, the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty and the Eight Banners of the Meng, which belong to the regular army of the state and are directly subordinate to the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, and the soldiers of the Eight Banners mainly come from the male children of the Eight Banners. The Green Battalion Army, which also belongs to the soldiers, is also a regular army.

The existence of the Green Battalion is mainly to make up for the lack of the number of Han soldiers in the Eight Banners, and it is a Han army that was reorganized or newly recruited after the Qing army entered the customs. Because the main symbol of this Han army is the green flag, and the formed unit is the battalion, it is called the green battalion soldier or the green flag soldier, referred to as the battalion soldier.

In the Yong, Yongzheng, and Qianlong dynasties, when there was a war, but the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion were not enough, they would often adopt the method of taking local materials and recruiting temporary workers directly from the vicinity, that is, temporarily recruiting Xiangyong to form an army to deal with the war. After the end of the war, these temporary armies formed by the village warriors were immediately disbanded, so the "yong" is very similar to the "temporary workers".

At the beginning, there was no such distinction, but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, the situation was turbulent, and the Qing ** was unable to calm down, so the local government organized its own armed forces, such as the Hunan army, these people are brave, so they are also called Xiang Yong, these are local armed forces, if the Qing ** uses these armed forces to calm the world, then in the end these armies will be dismissed.

The clothes of the soldiers of the Qing army are written "soldiers", which means that they are the green battalion soldiers of the regular army; The clothes are written "brave", which means that it is the local armed village brave.

The former is the regular army that receives the state's salary, and the latter is the local gentry's own salary.

The words "soldier, brave" on the clothes of the soldiers of the Qing Dynasty are, in our words, "soldier" is the regular army in the imperial court, and "brave" refers to the soldiers in the militia, which is not regular.

The "soldiers" were the standing armed forces of the Qing Dynasty, including the Eight Banners Army and the Green Camp Army. These were soldiers, regular troops, directly subordinate to the emperor. The Eight Banners are selected from among the Eight Banners males over the age of 16.

"Yu Ding" and "Young Ding" under the age of 16 can be selected as raising soldiers, that is, reserve soldiers.

"Brave" is a kind of soldier. In the event of a war after the Yongqian Dynasty, if the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion were not enough, the army would be temporarily recruited on the spot, and it would be disbanded immediately after the war. The Yongying camp is characterized by a privately armed group with state pay, and soldiers and officers are only loyal to their superiors and do not directly owe to the emperor, that is, the so-called "soldiers are generals".

These soldiers are "brave".

The soldiers on the military uniforms of the Qing Dynasty belonged to the ordinary troops, and the courage on the military uniforms of the Qing Dynasty belonged to the elite troops, and the elite troops were brave and good at fighting, and made great achievements for the Qing Dynasty to resist foreign enemies.

The soldiers are behind the brave. Because Yong must be brave and rush to the front, but soldiers are just ordinary soldiers. It can be in the back. Don't rush to the front.

In Qing Dynasty film and television dramas, viewers often see different characters embroidered on the clothes of Qing Dynasty soldiers. Some of them are "soldiers" and some are "brave". Then they are all soldiers. Why are the words different?

First of all, let's have a brief understanding of the Qing Dynasty's military system - the Eight Banners system, what are the Eight Banners?

When Nurhachi began to raise troops, he reformed the military system. First of all, it first had four flags - yellow, white, red, and blue, and later expanded its scale, adding four flags - yellow, white, red, and blue, so that there were a total of eight flags.

The "Eight Banners" system is a system of militia integration, and when they fight, they are all soldiers, and when they are not fighting, they are all civilians. This guarantees both productivity and the number of troops.

After the Qing Dynasty entered the customs, the status of the Eight Banners was very high. They owned a lot of land, they didn't have to pay taxes, and the extravagance gradually led them to degenerate.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, internal and external troubles continued, and it was the time for the children of the Eight Banners to fight, but they would not fight. Originally, the children of the Eight Banners would draw bows and shoot arrows, but after two hundred years of stable life, they forgot to train because they were enjoying life. They don't even know how to ride horses, so how can they fight?

Since the children of the Eight Banners can no longer be counted on, they can only recruit troops, among which the Hunan army is the most famous.

During the Taiping Rebellion, the children of the Eight Banners could not fight, and Zeng Guopan recruited soldiers from among the civilians to form the Hunan Army to fight against the Taiping Army.

These improvised soldiers had the word "brave" embroidered on their clothes. Not because they are brave, but because they are village warriors, not regular troops.

The regular soldiers of the Qing Dynasty, including those in the establishment, had the word "bing" embroidered on their clothes, indicating that they were regular soldiers, while temporarily recruited soldiers were not regular soldiers. They only fought temporarily, and they were disbanded after the battle, so they were brave characters.

The difference between soldier and courage is that one is regular and the other is temporary. Everyone at the job knows that although the work of a permanent employee and an intern is the same, the treatment is definitely different, and the permanent employee is definitely better than the intern.

The treatment of a soldier embroidered with the word soldier on his clothes and a village warrior with the word "brave" embroidered on his clothes is definitely different. A soldier is definitely better than a warrior in the country, and whether it is salary, subsidies or prizes, soldiers have an advantage.

What's more, the military is a professional position and can work for a long time, but the village warrior is different. He is temporary, and he will face unemployment casually.

The words "soldier" and "brave" are seen in books, articles or film and television dramas about the Qing Dynasty, especially in movies and TV dramas, and these two words are usually pasted on the back of the Qing army that is ready to go. It seems that this makes people easily think that "brave" is special forces, and "soldiers" are ordinary soldiers - in fact, this is not the case.

The "soldiers" were the standing armed forces of the Qing Dynasty, including the Eight Banners Army and the Green Camp Army. The Eight Banners Army was a Manchu soldier, and the Green Battalion was a Han soldier composed of Han people who were established to make up for the shortcomings of the Manchu army. This kind of army is marked by the green flag and the battalion is the formed unit, so it is called the green battalion, also called the green flag soldier, referred to as the battalion soldier.

Although the Eight Banners Army and the Green Battalion have the same mission, they both protect the family and defend the country, but their priorities are different, and the imperial court relies on them differently. According to customization: Most of the Eight Banners are guarding the Beijing Division, which is the elite army of the country and is in charge of the security of the Beijing Division; The Green Battalion soldiers are all over the country, and their number is several times or even dozens of times that of the Eight Banner Soldiers.

Usually the mighty army in film and television dramas is the green battalion soldiers.

After Shunzhi, the Green Battalion gradually replaced the main position of the Eight Banners. Soon after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty during the Kangxi period, it tried to value peace, so its armaments were slackened and languishing. The soldiers of the Eight Banners have been in a pampered position for a long time, so that it is difficult to boost the military prestige and force when the three feudatories rise up and sharpen their guns, so the achievements of the three feudatories are really green battalion soldiers.

After Yongzheng ascended the throne, he was determined to demonstrate the martial spirit of the Manchu army, and repeatedly ordered and affirmed that "the Eight Banners are the foundation of Manchuria", and made great efforts to reorganize the army and govern the army, which finally boosted morale and maintained the rule of the country.

"Bravery" is also a kind of soldier. Yongzheng, after the Qianlong Dynasty, if there was a war, if the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion were not enough, the local materials were temporarily recruited army, and the war was disbanded immediately after the war, not the official army of the country, that is, the war meritorious ones were also used for a long time. It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom started with regimental training, and then changed the informal township Yong to Lian Yong (that is, the Hunan Army), fixed the military system, and paid food, which was called the Yong Battalion.

Since then, "brave" has basically replaced "soldiers" as the main force of the country's regular army.
