The uniforms of soldiers in the Qing Dynasty have the words "soldier" and "brave". What's the difference between them?
I believe many people have watched TV plays in the Qing Dynasty. In these TV dramas, the clothes of Qing soldiers are the same at first sight. If you are careful, you will find that the clothes of these soldiers are actually different, that is, some soldiers have a brave word on their chests, and some soldiers have a soldier word on their chests. So we can't help but ask, how different can a soldier word be from a brave word? In fact, there is a big difference. ?

At the very least, the difference in characters means that the identity and status of the two soldiers are different. When it comes to soldiers in the Qing dynasty, everyone will subconsciously think of the children of the Eight Banners. But is it enough for the Qing Dynasty to win the world by the children of the Eight Banners alone? Of course, it's impossible. Before entering the customs, the children of the Eight Banners may be enough. The Commissioner said that the number of soldiers in the Qing army was enough in ugly and palm-sized places, but it was different when entering the customs. Children of the Eight Banners are far from enough.

One of the most important factors in fighting in the cold weapon era is the number of people. There are indeed many examples of winning more with less, but it was just a battle. Therefore, the first problem faced by the Qing dynasty when it entered the customs was that the number of soldiers was too small. After the Qing army entered the customs, the world was not peaceful and the peasant uprising never stopped. Nan Ming also thinks about how to take back the world every day, and there are unstable factors everywhere. At this time, the Qing dynasty was in urgent need of a large number of soldiers.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty began to recruit soldiers to improve green camp on the basis of the Eight Banners Army. At that time, the Qing Dynasty recruited many Han soldiers. Interestingly, green camp was originally an assistant to the Eight Banners, but later it became stronger and stronger, and even became the main force. Like green camp, the Eight Banners are all printed with the word "Bing". It can be said that it was the regular army of the Qing Dynasty who wore the word "soldier" on their clothes.

With the development of history, these soldiers gradually became arrogant and extravagant. In the late Qing Dynasty, there were unstable factors in the world. At this time, the emperor reused Han officials and asked them to recruit. At this time, when they were recruiting, there was the word "brave" on their clothes, because many of them were rural. In fact, they assisted the local army at first, and their status was not as high as that of the regular army. Moreover, they didn't prepare, and the local government gave them a salary increase and surrendered without a fight. After the Taiping Rebellion, the ruling class found that their fighting capacity was very strong, so they were divided into regular troops.
