Shenyang, why did you kneel and kowtow when you saw Uncle Jin?

There is such a classic scene of iron teeth and copper teeth in Ji Xiaolan. In a restaurant, I met an unknown uncle Jin, and they fought for wealth. Finally, Xiao Shenyang was beaten by Uncle Jin, who also said that even if I begged in the street, Xiao Shenyang had to kneel and kowtow to me. Why is this? What gave Uncle Jin such courage?

This will start with the Eight Banners system in the Qing Dynasty. The Eight Banners System was founded by Nurhachi, the founding emperor of the Qing Dynasty. It was originally adopted because Manchu is a nomadic people. This system can facilitate unified management, help the expansion of the army, and finally form a state in which all the people are soldiers and ensure the combat effectiveness of the army.

The Eight Banners system means that there are eight flag owners. The flag master is the most powerful person except Khan, and there are flag slaves under his banner. The hierarchy is so strict that no one can cross it. Both Jin Shu and Jin Shu belong to the red flag of Qing Dynasty, but their status is different. Uncle Jin is the flag master of Zhenghongqi, but only a flag slave, so all uncles Jin dare to fight openly.

Not only that, but even I want to give Uncle Kim face. Therefore, despite its dominant position, under the constraint of hierarchy, I have to kneel down to Uncle Jin and dare not resist. In fact, this kind of thing was not once or twice in the Qing Dynasty, because of the Eight Banners system, this kind of oolong incident often happened.

Just during the Daoguang period, Song Like, the cabinet military affairs minister, died, and he actually asked Daoguang Emperor for a few days off to give the dying flag owner Dai Xiao. The military minister of the Qing Dynasty is equivalent to the current Politburo Standing Committee and Premier the State Council. The etiquette of the country made such a thing, which also made Daoguang Emperor furious. It was beneath the dignity of the imperial court, and then he ordered the cancellation of Song Jun Banner's slave status and changed his story.

Such a system strengthened the rule of the Qing emperor in a certain sense, but in the later period, some flag owners fell from the ivory tower and became ordinary people, while those former flag slaves became folk dragons and phoenixes, thus creating contradictions. However, these flag slaves, even extremely important officials, dare not disrespect their former owners. This is the rule, but also a true portrayal of feudal thought!
