How advanced is the management system of the Eight Banners that can be completely annihilated?

Speaking of the Eight Banners, we generally know this system. This is a military service system in the Qing Dynasty, and it is with this system that the Qing Dynasty swept the whole country, from northeast to north China, from north to south China, and finally swept the whole of China. It can be said that the Eight Banners played a vital role in the process of unifying the whole country. The reason why the Eight Banners have such strong fighting capacity has a lot to do with the Eight Banners system. Let's take a look at what kind of system the Eight Banners system is, and it can have such a powerful fighting capacity.

160 1 year, nuerhachi was reorganized and organized, with Lu Niu E Town, Galae Town and Gushan E Town as leaders respectively. At the beginning, four flags of yellow, white, red and blue were set and woven into four flags. In the 43rd year of Wanli (16 15), four yellow, white, red and blue flags were added and the Eight Banners system was established. These Eight Banners have dual identities. Civilians in peacetime and soldiers in wartime can be said to be a system of combining agriculture with soldiers. The important advantage of this system lies in reducing the country's military expenditure. The reason why the Ming dynasty spent a lot of money to deal with the late Jin dynasty was because the Ming army was a professional army and it cost a lot.

If we just say that people are busy and soldiers are in wartime, then it is difficult for this system to guarantee such a strong fighting capacity. There are other important features of this system. The first is that once you are in the Eight Banners system, you will be in this system all your life. For example, if you are a red flag bearer, whether you are a soldier or an official, even if you are a minister of military affairs, then your other identity is still a flag bearer, and you still have to listen to the flag bearer. And you can't leave the national flag for life, otherwise there will be severe punishment. Once you run away, no other flag or anyone can take you in. The court will definitely investigate to the end. So this can ensure that the number of people in this system is constant at any time, and there will be no soldiers in wartime.

Another point is that this system has no geographical or blood relationship. We have seen in history that many armies are related by region or blood. If it is a regional army, its fighting capacity in the local area is very strong, because they are defending and fighting for their hometown, so they will definitely fight with you desperately. But once they leave their hometown, their fighting capacity will drop sharply, because other places are not their hometown and they don't want to work for other places. Bloody army, once you kill one of them, others will fight hard with you, but if you want to mobilize this army, you need to be related to them, otherwise, they will not listen to you. The Eight Banners system is a system, which has nothing to do with region or blood relationship. The people in the Eight Banners system are all within the system and have nothing to do with it, but they are an organization. Moreover, this organization has existed for a lifetime and is a collective. Therefore, it is very convenient to mobilize, and because it is a fixed organization, its combat effectiveness is also very strong.

However, the decline of this system is also a system problem. The main task of everyone in this system is to be a soldier, so later the state gave them special land and high treatment in order to relieve their worries. The Eight Banners also have many privileges. However, this is also because these things have affected their combat effectiveness. After a long time, they did nothing but lift cages and birds. In case of war, you can't count on them. So they are very powerful in wartime, but in peacetime this system does have big loopholes.
