Everyone often sees the words "Bing" and "Courage" in books, articles or film and television dramas about the Qing Dynasty, especially in movies and TV dramas that are ready to go. These two words are usually pasted on the back. It seems that this makes it easy to think that "brave" is a special soldier, and "soldier" is an ordinary soldier-in fact, this is not the case.
Historically "soldiers" were the country's standing armed forces in the Qing Dynasty, including the Eight Banner Army and the Green Camp. The Eight Banners Army was the Manchu soldiers, and the Green Camp troops were composed of Han soldiers established to make up for the shortage of the Manchu Army. This kind of army is marked by the green flag and the battalion is the organizational unit, so it is called the green battalion, also called the green flag trooper, or battalion for short. Although the Eight Banners Army and the Green Camp had the same mission, they both defended their homes and the country, but they had different priorities and the court relied on them differently. Customized: Most of the Eight Banners soldiers guard the capital. They are elite national troops and are in charge of the security of the capital. The green camps are scattered all over the country, and the number is several or even dozens of times more than the Eight Banners. Usually the mighty army in film and television dramas is the green camp.
After Shunzhi, the Green Camp soldiers gradually replaced the Eight Banners soldiers. Not long after the establishment of the Qing Dynasty in the Kangxi period, it tried to make peace as the most precious, so its armaments were depleted and weakened. Once and for all, the Eight Banners soldiers have been in a position of dignity for a long time, so that it is difficult for the San Francisco uprising to grind the spear and the army's power, so the contribution of the San Francisco is really the green camp. After Yongzheng ascended to the throne, he was determined to demonstrate the spirit of the Manchurian army, and he made three orders and five applications to "the Eight Banners as the foundation of Manchuria."
Historically "brave" is also a type of soldier. During the Yongzheng and Qianlong reign, there was a war. If the Eight Banners and the Green Camp were not enough, the temporarily recruited troops would be disbanded immediately after the war. They were not the official army of the country, that is, those who had been successful in the war would be used soon. It wasn't until the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the late Qing Dynasty that Zeng Guofan started his career as a regiment, and he changed the informal courage to practice courage (that is, the Hunan Army). Since then, "brave" has basically replaced "soldiers" as the main force of the country's regular army.
