What is the rank of the guard with the sword?

In Princess Pearl, you must remember this self-introduction by Boerkang. "This is Princess Pearl Swallow, Princess Pearl Wei Zi, May Yongqi, Liu Qing Liuhong, and our little sister Jinsuo. And I am the eldest son of Fallon, the future forehead, and Fu Erkang, a bodyguard with a knife.

In fact, when you watch the Qing drama, you will always see the names of guards with knives. Then who can be a bodyguard with a knife? What is the rank of a bodyguard with a knife?

In the Qing Dynasty, imperial guards with swords were personally selected and awarded by the emperor, and they were basically sons and daughters of Manchu and Mongolian governors, who were selected among the guards appreciated by the last emperor, while few Han people held flags.

Born in a noble Manchu family and rooted in Hongmiao, you can basically guarantee that you will not rebel. Loyalty is the most important. As for martial arts, that is the second. Although ouchi guards often practice martial arts, their main function is not to draw swords, but to honor, communicate and guard, which is the so-called "pre-departure command"

The emperor's bodyguard is well paid and has a very prominent position, and his promotion is much faster than general military service. For example, the imperial guards in the Qing Dynasty enjoyed special treatment such as wearing hualing and yellow jacket, and their promotion and adjustment were much wider than others. First-class guards can be directly added as deputy commanders (positive and second-class).

You can also change to a civilian and go directly to the political core. For example, college students like Soto, Mingzhu, Longkedo, Little Shenyang and Su Shun were all born as royal guards. It is precisely because of the special preferential treatment of the bodyguard system that it has become a shortcut for the children of aristocratic bureaucrats in the Qing Dynasty to obtain high officials and generous salaries without passing the examination.

The general duties of sword guards are divided into six to three levels, and the corresponding levels and staffing are generally as follows:

First-class guards, also known as "first-class guards", belong to the third category, generally 60 people; The second-class guards belong to the fourth category, generally 150; The third-class guards belong to the positive five categories, generally 270 people; Lanling guards are six products, generally 900 people.

What kind of knife does the "guard with a knife" bring? According to records, it is a standard green sheath square-headed waist knife. Generally, these people's swords and handles are forward, which is a polite gesture, indicating that they have no intention of drawing their swords. This way of holding a knife is called "Taiping Dao", which means safety. Carrying a knife is just a form, not for drawing a sword.

It turns out that not everyone can be a bodyguard, and the treatment and promotion are also cheap. So Erkang is still a potential stock, so Wei Zi won't lose money by marrying Erkang!
