Why are there Kim Koreans in the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty?

Jin Jiashi, the imperial concubine of Emperor Qianlong, was born in Korea, with his father being the three treasures of the court and his brother being Jin Jian, a senior official in the official department. The Kim family has a history of one hundred years in Manchuria. In Qianlong harem, the Jin family is not only an ordinary political marriage, but also a special case.

It is said that she is an ordinary political marriage because, like many empresses, she comes from a noble family of the Eight Banners. During the Qianlong period, Jin's status rose rapidly, not only because she gave birth to a prince, but also because her family was highly valued by Qianlong. Her brother Jin Jian participated in some important political, economic and cultural construction in Qianlong period, and was a famous minister.

What makes her special is that she is of Korean descent. Her family came from North Korea and voted voluntarily in the early Qing Dynasty, and was later incorporated into Zuo Ling, Korea.

In the early Qing Dynasty, the Kim family was incorporated into the Korean Collar, wearing the banner of Huang Zheng. Although they serve the Royal Home Affairs Bureau, their duties are not easy. Like other Korean leaders, they also have heavy tasks, shouldering the heavy responsibility of military campaigns and opening up territory, and made great contributions to consolidating the mountains and rivers of the Qing Dynasty.

The development of the Jin family in Qing Dynasty originated from the new strength. When he was in Huang taiji, he led his three younger brothers, namely, children of Indali, Sandali and Jidali, to the Qing Dynasty, and later Huang taiji made him a general officer. Because he made meritorious military service for the Qing Dynasty, Huang Taiji divided the Korean prisoners after the war into assistant leaders and handed them over to Xin Dali, who was then the general manager of Sanqi Firearms Camp of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Xin Dali's three sons are: the eldest son, Yin (once a third-class bodyguard), the second son, Hu Zhu (once a second-class bodyguard, once a deputy governor and deputy governor), and the youngest son (once a foreign minister and deputy governor). Chang Ming is the son of Zhu Hua, the youngest son of Xin Dali. According to his records in the history books? In the second year of Qianlong, the mausoleum was built on a large scale and the project was completed. . It can be seen that he is good at repairing tombs In addition, he also served as the minister of command, the minister in charge of the Guards, the general manager and assistant leader of the upper house affairs office. Later, he was banned by the Prince Taibao, which shows that he is a royal red man.

Changming also has a younger brother named Shi Rui, who is also a cloud knight. Sambo (grandson of Suntory's third brother Suntory) used to be inspector general Lu, director of the armed forces department and assistant to the director. Zhao Zhu (grandson of Ji Dali, the fourth brother of Xin Dali) was once a small seven school.

In addition, there are three great-grandchildren of Xin Dali, namely, Huaser, Tacitus and Shuang Bao. They have served as assistant leaders, third-class guards and chief of the whole staff respectively, and also served as assistant leaders. Sandari also had three great-grandchildren, namely Jinding, Hui Jin and Jin Jian, among whom Jinding served as a blue-collar bodyguard, and Hui Jin and Jin Jian served as Guo Zijian (Jin Jian was later highly valued by Emperor Qianlong, and climbed all the way after entering the official career, and successively served as the minister of bedroom, the chief minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Industry and the official department. He was responsible for the compilation of Sikuquanshu when he was the minister in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, invented the method of jujube movable type overprinting, which greatly saved expenses, and also compiled the program of Wuyingdian Juzhen Edition, which was included in the history department of Sikuquanshu. He is a very talented person. There are only two great-grandchildren of Ji Dali, Zilan and Wu Lintai, both of whom worked as military doctors. It can be seen from Xin Dali and his descendants that the Jin family had a deep foundation in the Qing Dynasty, and Emperor Qianlong attached great importance to Xin Dali's family.

The main member of the Eight Banners system is Manchu, but it also attracts people from other nationalities, and many immigrants have been recruited in the team. The increase of immigrants also enriched the management system of the Eight Banners.

First of all, in the Jurchen Unification War, the Salhu War and the two wars to levy Korea, some Koreans came to the northeast of China as prisoners of war. In addition, some Koreans came to China to make a living because of Japanese chaos, natural disasters and internal struggles in their own country.

The Qing emperor accepted them and let some of them join the Eight Banners (mainly yellow and white flags), which were distributed in the sub-collars and coated sub-collars of the Banners. In addition, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty specially set up Zuo Ling and Zuo Ling in Korea for them, and included them in the Eight Banners Manchu genealogy, which fully reflected the rulers' respect for foreign immigrants. At the same time, their arrival also expanded the team of Manchuria and became one of the main forces in the Eight Banners.
