In all kinds of ancient costume films and TV dramas, while we are immersed in the wonderful plots, are often attracted by the various gorgeous costumes in the film , like the golden dragon robes worn by the emperor, the concubines of the palace harem The concubines' colorful long skirts.
is like the "Langya Bang" , which was popular a few years ago. The fox fur collar cape worn by Mei Changsu in the play attracted the attention of the public. The exquisite face and superb acting skills of Hu Ge and are more The appearance of Mei Changsu brought a majestic market. Of course,
also has market influence, and there are not a few ancient costumes that can be admired by the public. In contrast, the costumes and appearances of the supporting actors and troupe performers outside of the protagonist groups often don't get that much attention.
Misleading information caused by costume dramas
I believe that everyone must have seen all kinds of costume scenes in costume dramas. Shi not only has a smile on his face, but he even has a pair of lace-up sneakers on his feet...
After all, the filming of film and television works is also limited by the cost plan, and more investment will be put into the protagonist group, the group of actors The quality of and the control of details will naturally be somewhat compromised.
But after all, in modern society, people are more willing to acquire unknown information and knowledge from outside the books, and the lack of rigorousness in some costume dramas will inevitably mislead everyone to produce wrong cognitions and store incorrect information in their minds. knowledge.
So today, we will start from the small links, with Qing Dynasty soldier clothing system and Qing Dynasty military system as the core theme, to convey to everyone the correct and historically true related knowledge content.
Everyone may wish to recall the Qing palace drama. What kind of standard equipment are the soldiers and guards wearing in the drama? I believe that many pictures and images have poured into everyone's mind.
also believes that there must be no soldier's clothes with the words "soldier", "yong", "pawn", "ding" , etc., or a light blue lining, which is not like a middle-open style. Pair with an outfit such as a two-piece vest with the same inscription as above.
The evolution of soldiers' clothing in the Qing Dynasty
According to the real situation of history, the standard of these clothing is indeed the real , but it rarely appears in the correct era corresponding to the story of the film and television drama.
In the early Qing Dynasty, whether soldiers or generals, the standard equipment they wore was mainly "armor". Change.
Because of the long history of the Qing Dynasty, and experienced a special period when the country was closed off from the development of the world, blindly standing still led to a morbid peace scene, which led to a great reduction in the strength of the troops and horses in the Qing Dynasty, and the development of standard clothing did not advance but retreat .
At the same time, because of the advent of the hot weapon , which made the armor that existed to resist the cold weapon useless, so because of the corruption of the imperial court and the need of the times, the armor of in the early Qing Dynasty was also abolished, Replaced by cotton.
In order to increase the strength of the cotton armor as much as possible, will put a "vest" style armor over the cotton armor , and this is also the standard for soldiers' clothing that everyone has seen for the longest time in Qing palace dramas.
Changes in the military system of the Qing Dynasty
As for the four characters of "Bing", "Yong", "Zu", "Ding" engraved on the cotton armor and the outer vest, it does not have a high degree of research, because in the In the historical information of the military system of the Qing Dynasty, there is no detailed record of these four characters in .
The explanation given by modern scholars is based on the information in the existing military system of the Qing Dynasty as the final inference.
and "Pawn" and "Ding" are exclusive for logistics soldiers and warehouse guard soldiers, but need to pay attentionThe meaning is that the distinction between these four characters is not simply the difference in the functions of soldiers. Although
in a broad sense, those who wear these four characters are all soldiers of the lowest ranks in the military, but there are differences in rank and status between soldiers and soldiers.
And the difference between them is not only the difference in words, but the difference between them, is the distant estrangement between the two ethnic groups at that time.
Eight Banner Soldiers who can wear the word "soldier" is the first soldier of Manchu to establish the army, and is the fundamental force of the Manchu to lay the foundation of the Qing Dynasty, is the oldest and most credited in the Manchu and Qing military brigade Soldiers of the highest rank.
And after Qing army entered the border, founded the country, started a large-scale recruitment in order to quickly make up for the war power lost due to the war , in order to supplement and improve the military strength.
And these new recruits who joined the army were not directly filled into the Eight Banners soldiers, but took the new name of "Green Camp Soldier" and also wore the word "Soldier".
As for why these soldiers were not added to the Eight Banners Barracks, it is because the Green Battalion soldiers were formed according to the Ming Dynasty military system, with Han Chinese as the main members of the army, although the nationality is different, But the Green Battalion soldiers are also from the Qing Dynasty After entering the customs, it plays an important role to stabilize your footsteps.
After that, the military force of the Qing Dynasty entered a stage of weakening year by year. The corruption and sickness of completely corroded the foundation of Eight Banners and the Green Camp for a long time.
Up to the time of the Taiping uprising, used to have two strong teams, but now they have become weak to the point of being knocked down. In order to fight against the local area, the Qing army temporarily formed a new army - "Yongying" .
As the name suggests, the yong battalion will wear the word "yong" , and most of them are composed of Han people, but unlike the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, the Yong battalion is not given the power to fight alone, is only used to cooperate with the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion action.
and "pawn" and "ding" characters are also composed of Han people from beginning to end, and they are doing second-line work on the battlefield from beginning to end, doing the work of guarding food and grass, and transporting materials. Compared with
, from the word "soldier" to "Ding" and "pawn", the treatment and salary enjoyed by soldiers of different ranks in are gradually decreasing , taking the Eight Banners and Green Camp as examples, not only the ration of silver salary, but also Even the weapons that are regularly obtained are the former more favorable.
And this military system continued until after the Sino-Japanese naval battle , after the Taiping incident, the court found that the brave camp was far more lively than the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion, so it began to train the new army in the mode of the brave camp.
, but it is always difficult for to escape the constraints of national concepts, and it is difficult for to get rid of the drag and influence of internal corruption in the imperial court. Therefore, when the new army only shines for a while, it also enters the dark and damp quagmire of corruption.
It was not until the Qing government gave up the new army and began to re-train the army after imitating the Western military system. The viscous military system of , which was enveloped by the four characters "Bing", "Yong", "Zu" and "Ding", finally ended. , but that The Qing government at that time was on the verge of collapse, and had no power to return to the chaotic situation. The four words of
's conclusion,
, symbolize the changes in the military system of the Qing Dynasty. also shows the biggest flaw in the dynasty at that time. Perhaps at the moment when this military system was born, the final collapse of the Qing Dynasty's military system was also doomed.
In the final analysis, unity is the eternal issue of a country. Only by uniting the interior of a country and a nation can enable a country to obtain the most basic soil for its stable development.
