The defensive system of the Forbidden City was very complicated. It was so complicated that even the capital's flagmen were confused and disoriented!
The security personnel in the palace could be divided into Lang Wei and the security guards. Lang Wei was the bodyguard of the Emperor, and his quota was around six to seven hundred people.
They were all powerful warriors who were chosen from the three banners. With the yellow, yellow and white banners as the three banners, they were the direct descendants of the Xiluo's family.
Generally speaking, when the later generations saw the movies, the Emperor's daily living and working palace, and the Knife guard standing guard at the entrance of the long corridor and garden, would be Lang Wei!
Many of these guards were given yellow coats, and they were the closest to the emperor, so it was easy for them to be promoted!
Fu Heng, Fu Kang An, Hai Lan Che, and the others from the dryad's years … They were all Knife guard s that had once served the emperor!
On the surface, this troop was under the control of the Permanent Secretary of the Scenic Gate, but most of the time, this troop was under the direct command of the Emperor!
For example, when Tongzhi went to court, the emperor's official would take the guards and the inner court official would be Jing Shou!
Who was this Jingshou? He was one of the famous Gu Ming and eight ministers in history!
However, Jing Shou was the luckiest out of the eight ministers because he was the blood sister husband of the Xian Feng Emperor.
So after Sin-uni coup d'état, he was only temporarily dismissed. In the end, three months later, she was reinstated by Ci Xi, and was given the order to be both the imperial minister and the imperial bodyguard's inner minister!
For someone who had experienced this before, it was hard to imagine that he had the authority to do so. The so-called commanding authority over Lang Wei was all fake. It was all rubber stamp!
Other than Lang Wei, only the soldiers were left in the Forbidden City!
Guards were the troops that guarded the main city gates of the Forbidden City. garrison camp, Frontline Battalion, Rider Battalion, Step Battalion, Armored Battalion, Firearm Battalion, Camping … These people were guarding the city gates of the Forbidden City. Every day, they would open and close the gates, teleporting urgent military information and so on, they were in charge!
However, the entrance guards of this Forbidden City were also divided into different levels!
The inner most close to the rear palace were the Inner Right Gate s, inner left side, and the Shun Zhen Sect … Lan Wei was the one in charge of security, and Isha was the one in charge of security.
You have to know that Qixiangmen directly leads to the back palace's entrance!
Other than the gates of the harem, the other city gates were divided into two different categories. One was the army of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who were the servants of the Emperor.
What Martial Hall, Wen Hua Palace, Fengxian Palace, Huangji Hall … Even the doors of the three great halls were all managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs's army!
Finally, the real security of the entrance to the Forbidden City!
Donghua Gate, West Flower Gate, Shen Wu Men, Meridian Gate, Joumen Gate, Tiananmen Gate … Including the Great Qing Sect outside!
All of this was handled by the respective presidential ministers. These presidential ministers were all under the name of the emperor's minister. To put it bluntly, it was the idle position of Jing Shou that was responsible for this!
However, although Jing Shou was nominally the superior position of each battalion's President, each battalion had to accept the capture of each of the eight flag masters!
The most fundamental purpose of this chaotic system was to prevent the military might and unity of the Forbidden City from appearing under the Emperor!
This was a very scary thing. If the emperor was strong or healthy, then this system would ensure that everyone would be loyal to the emperor!
But in the event that the emperor was ill, young, or absent from the capital, and so on... This kind of complex management would prevent the military might of the Forbidden City from being monopolized, thus putting the military power of the Forbidden City in a mutually restricted equilibrium!
When the Emperor stopped giving orders, the military power of the Forbidden City would be concentrated in the hands of the Minister in charge of the imperial guards, the supervisor of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the various banner masters!
