Section 1587 Enfeoffment
These titles are some of the titles of the Han nationality. In the Qing Dynasty, there were more complicated titles. These are also some titles that Li Cong appreciates.
The titles of the Qing Dynasty were divided into three categories: clan, meritorious officials, and foreign vassals. The difference between m() and the previous generation is that all the titles only add the title of beauty, not the title of country or city, such as Prince Rui, Marquis of Yongyi and so on.
The clan canonize, confer the clan and Jueluo, and the clan mansion is in charge. From high to low, there are twelve grades: Prince Heshuo, King Doro, Dorobeile, Gushan Beizi, Duke Fengen Town, Duke Fengenfu, Duke of the Town who does not enter the Eighth Fen, and the Duke who does not enter the Eighth Fen Fuguogong, first to third rank Zhenguo general, first to third rank Fuguo general, first to third rank Fengguo general, Fengen general; plus the second rank of the son of the prince (that is, the son of the prince is the son, the son of the county king is the eldest son), A total of 14 titles and 20th class Section 1587 Enfeoffment system level. The previous eight ranks of Feng En Fu Guogong were called Ba Fen Gong, which was different from the subsequent titles of Bu Ba Fen Town Guo Gong and Bu Ba Fen Fu Guo Gong.
Clan titles can be divided into merit titles, grace titles, attack titles, and test titles: those who have received meritorious service are called "merit titles"; Those inherited by the imperial order are called "Xifeng"; below the prince, except for the first son who inherited the title, the rest of the sons, who were granted the title by examination from the age of 20 to 20, are called "Kaofeng". The number of succession varies from person to person: meritorious titles are all hereditary; entitlements and examination titles are all descended in descending order. As a result, Dorobeile was downgraded to the level of the eighth-level town government official, Gushan Beizi was downgraded to the eighth-level auxiliary country level, and the Fengen township level was downgraded to the first-class town country general. Feng En Fuguo Gong was demoted to the first-class Fuguo General. The rest of the titles are all reduced to General Feng En; those who are descended from the descendants of the main branch, who are descended to the last rank, are hereditary; , Kao Feng fell to General Feng En's attack three times. The first prince and county king were given titles when they died; the inheritors still called their ancestors the original title, and after death, a word was added under the title as posthumous title. In addition to the eight iron hats enshrined in the early Qing Dynasty Section 1587 Enfeoffment system Prince Daishan, Prince Zheng Jierhalang, Prince Rui Dorgon, Prince Yu Duoduo, Prince Su Hauge, Prince Chengze Shuosai, Keqin Prince Yuetuo, Prince Shuncheng Leke Dehun, and later Prince Yinxiang of Yongzheng Shiyi, Prince Tongzhi Shigong Yizhen, Prince Guangxu Shichun Yixuan, and Prince Qing Yikui, a total of twelve princes can be hereditary replacements In addition, the rest of the patriarchal princes can only be hereditary.

Li Cong believes that although various dynasties have their own opinions on the title of titles in ancient China, strictly speaking, Li Cong believes that the title system of the Qing Dynasty is still good. Moreover, they are closer to them and more acceptable, so Li Cong decided to follow the Qing Dynasty's title system for most of the things, but Li Cong also knew a little about the original British title, although it was also the fifth-class male prince and uncle. But there is still a big difference from some of ours. They don't have a king.
Among the 5th-level nobles in the United Kingdom. Earl appeared first. Some scholars believe that the title of earl came from the European continent. At the latest in France in 900 AD, the earl had become a vassal of the duke. However, more scholars believe that the British earl (earl) has no inheritance or joint relationship with the French earl (unt); and the title of British earl is the only English word among the five noble titles, which is transformed from the old English rl; In the late Anglo-Saxon era, because the kingship was not strong enough, the vast area of England was once divided into several larger earl jurisdictions... but the earldom was introduced to England by the Danish king Canute in the early 11th century. Most of the earls before the middle of the 11th and 12th centuries were princes guarding one side.
European titles are divided into public, marquis, uncle, son, male
Almost every New Year's Eve, the British royal family publishes a list, announcing the people who have been awarded knighthoods or medals by the King or Queen this year. British knighthoods originated in the middle of the 14th century. Founded in 1350, the "Order of the Garter" is still the oldest and highest-ranking honor in Britain.
British honors can be divided into three categories: one is the royal honor... granted to the royal family or the most senior nobles (Princess Anne and the like); noble). The third is the Order of Merit... given to those who have made great contributions (British Prime Minister. Baroness Thatcher).
The titles of the royal family and the nobility... There are five levels in total, and their names and their relative female titles are as follows: Duke...Marquis...Earl...Viscount...Baron...But there are also barons below the baron...It is hereditary The lowest rank of knighthood.
Generally, only close relatives of the royal family (such as the brother of the king, the husband of the king, etc.) can be awarded the title of duke. When the duke was alive, his eldest son was honored as a marquis, and by analogy, commoners had no chance of such titles.
The titles commoners have are knights.
Jazz is a kind of title in the European monarchy. It refers to people who have made meritorious service on the battlefield or because of some special significance, they have been rewarded with land by the king. Low class, not hereditary, not belonging to nobility.
Our country also has dukes. Li Cong knows that our country is called dukes. There is also a prince above them, but in foreign countries, this is the highest official position.
As early as the period of the Roman Empire, the title of duke in the European continent was usually awarded to high-ranking commanders who defended the territory and had outstanding military achievements. Later, it was interrupted due to major political changes. Hundreds of years later, the title of duke was seen in Germany again. Around 970 AD, the German Emperor Otto I first established the title of duke. Soon France and other parts of the European continent also established duchies (hy; Grand Duchy... In the United Kingdom, the duke is the highest nobleman next to the king or prince, and the "grand duke" (that is, the grand duke) of the European continent who is the master of a country. …is different. The British dukedom came very late. In 1337, Edward III elevated Cornwall to a duchy and awarded the dukedom to the "Black Prince" Edward, who was only 7 years old. The crown prince participated in the Hundred Years War at the age of 16. In 1355, he went to France to command the battle and made outstanding military achievements. His father rewarded him so much that the prince had multiple titles, such as Prince of Wales in 1343 and Duke of Aquitaine in 1362. In order to highlight the uniqueness of the Duke In the next few years, except for the queen's consort and the prince, other princes are not allowed to be kings. The highest can be duke. Then, Edward III and his heirs successively established the Duchy of Lancaster (1351) and the Duchy of Clarence ( 1362), the Duchy of York and Gloucester (1385), Hereford (1397), Bedford (1413) and Somerset (1443), etc. The owners of these duchies are The royal family members, after they obtained the senior titles, stood out from the crowd among the nobles, and they were very powerful. They laid hidden dangers for future competition for royal power, disrupting the court, and creating wars. Since the establishment of the Principality of Norfolk in 1483, the title of duke has been awarded to other than the royal family. However, duchies are rarely established. Moreover, most of the people who can win this highest title are commanders with outstanding military achievements. It is difficult for a politician in the administrative field to win this honor even if he has served for many years and has made outstanding achievements.
On formal occasions the duke also wore a crimson velvet coat with four strips of ermine on his hat. Its crown has a gold ring and is decorated with 8 red gold leaves. The king called the duke "our true trustworthy and most beloved companion."
Look at Marquis... also do... In terms of etymology, it is derived from the German... Fort Marquis; Governor of Frontier Colonies; Earl]. The original meaning of Marquis is similar to that of "Fang Bo", which refers to the big official who governs a place. In England, the Latin term "marquis" originally referred to a lord of the Welsh frontier. At that time, it only showed that the location of their territory was close to the border, and it did not mean that their status was higher than that of the earl. 1385 Change of meaning, p. In 1397 John, Earl of Somerset, was created Duke of Dorset and Duke of Somerset. The status and degree of honor of the marquis is not very clear, it is roughly between the duke and the earl, and is not valued for a period of time. During the reign of Henry VI, the title of marquis, the House of Commons petitioned the king to restore Biofort's title. But he himself objected to begging the king, saying: "Marquis is a new honorary title, completely unknown to the ancestors. Therefore, it should be treated with indifference. I don't think it is wise to accept it." By 15 century. This level of noble title was valued by the nobles only after it maintained its second-level status in the noble titles. Compared with the other four ranks of nobility, the number of marquises has always been the least.
On important occasions, the Marquis also wore a red velvet coat, a hat with three and a half rows of ermine, and a silver ring on the diadem with four gold leaves and four silver balls. The king addressed him like a duke.
Most earls govern several counties by one person, so they are also called "Fang Bo". After Norman Grand Duke William invaded England, he worried that their power would be too powerful, which would endanger the royal power and national unity. Then the power of the Earl Fang was divided and handed over to his cronies. Each earl's jurisdiction was limited to one county, and he had a very clear relationship with the king as a vassal. If the earl dares to raise troops and make trouble, he will be suppressed by the royal army or sanctioned by other nobles. The title of earl can be inherited by future generations, but the total number will decrease because some earls lack heirs. Stephen reigned Lord. Since the 14th century, the number of earls has increased. There were 9 in 1307. When Edward III came to the throne in 1327, there were only 6 remaining, which increased to 12 10 years later; in the later period of Edward's reign, the number increased to 14. Before the 1420s, the earl, as a high-ranking nobleman, was the "natural leader" of the baron, and was responsible for the management of the baron and knights locally. But in the political crisis of 1327 [referring to Edward III who deposed the regent of his mother, Princess Isabella of France, and ascended to the throne. The earl once acted independently as a "self-aware" political group, and the "sense of distance" from the barons suddenly arose. After the addition of the Earl of March by Henry III in 1328, the earl did not have to perform the duties of local management.
On important formal occasions, the earl wears a crimson velvet coat trimmed with white fur, three ermine furs on the bonnet to indicate the title level, a gold-plated silver circle on the crown, and eight silver balls on the upper edge; He called the earl his "truly believable and lovely companion."
Among the nobles in the House of Lords, the viscount has the lowest qualifications. The title of viscount... originated from France, and was originally a county guard, with a status below the earl, but sometimes it may be a powerful prince. in England. In 1440 John of Biomont was created a viscount, above all barons.
The Anglo-Saxon era already had the word baron (n), but there was no title of baron, and the meaning of the word was not sure enough. It seems to have the meaning of "free man" or "servant of the king", but it has no noble meaning. British barons appeared in the 11th century. By the beginning of the 12th century, most of the high-ranking secular nobles of the king were made barons. Among them, a small number of those who are closely related to the royal family and have more fiefdoms are also called "big barons". Its status is between earl and baron. Soon, the Grand Baron split. The prominent ones were promoted to earls, and the rest were on par with ordinary barons. Because the baron accounted for a high proportion of the secular nobility at that time, the word "baron" has long been used as a collective noun of nobility. From the 11th to the 14th centuries, the titles and fiefs of barons could be passed on through blood and marriage, but they were not allowed to be sold or transferred at will, and the kings of successive dynasties did not increase or deprive noble titles at will. In 1387, Richard II added the baronetship for the first time to Baron Sturt. In the hundreds of years since then, the number of barons at the end of the fifth-level nobles has always been the largest.
Compared with the aristocrats of Spain, Portugal, Sweden, France and other countries in continental Europe, one of the characteristics of the British aristocratic group is that it has a small number of people. For a long time, the title of nobility and the corresponding property rights and political privileges have only been owned by the title holder himself. Although his family members are members of noble families, their political status is close to that of ordinary free citizens, and they are not allowed to sit in the House of Lords. Noble titles and fiefs are passed on according to a fairly strict eldest son inheritance system; if the eldest son dies early, the eldest grandson, second son, youngest son or other family members will replace them in sequence. If a nobleman has no heirs, according to his will or arrangements during his lifetime, and with the approval of the king and the high court, his close relatives can inherit his title and land. But in most cases the title is taken back by the king. Usually, British noble titles and titles cannot be transferred or sold at will. In order to maintain the size of the noble group and other considerations, the kings of the past dynasties mostly added nobles in an appropriate amount.
It's nothing to be a nobleman, but you have to be able to support them if you become a nobleman. Li Cong must adopt this approach in the UK. The number of nobles must not be too many. It is no different from ordinary people. Now they may help the empire to make contributions, but what about after a while? There are not so many achievements in this empire. Many people may just know how to enjoy it. Therefore, Li Cong must also take measures in the distribution to the nobles.
In the Ming Dynasty, it was because of the birth of a nobleman, more and more, good guys, as long as there are more people, the country has to support them. No matter how rich the Ming Dynasty is, it is impossible to support so many people for nothing. Of course, there is still a big gap between the Ming Dynasty and the later Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Li Cong also found out about it by accident when he was looking for information, and he almost didn't scare himself. Ordinary people. You have to learn his lesson.
Throughout Chinese history, no dynasty had as many princes as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It is hard to imagine that a dynasty could have more than 2,700 princes at the same time, not to mention that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was only a local armed separatist regime in the short ten years of Chinese history, and it was not considered a real dynasty. Why is there such a phenomenon? Let's first look at the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's kingship.
Hong Xiuquan had a total of three large-scale kingships. The first king was Yong'an in 1852. It is called "Yong'an Fengwang" in history, that is, the famous king of east, west, north, south and wing king of "Winged Heavenly Dynasty". According to history books, this time the title of king clarified the leadership core of the revolution, which is beneficial to the development and growth of the revolution. At this time, Li Cong believed that the rush to appoint kings and worship ministers when he was still a "rogue bandit" showed that the leadership had a deep sense of hierarchy, and at the same time showed their nature of greed for pleasure, and laid the groundwork for future power struggles. The seeds were planted.
In fact, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was not equal, and its hierarchical concept was even worse than that of the government. Only five princes were conferred in Yong'an. It is divided into three classes, the first class is the east and west, the second class is the north and south, and the third class is the king of the wings, and it is stipulated that the items below the king of the east should be controlled by the king of the east. This is a very terrible rule. Hong Xiuquan made an irreparable mistake Fault, the other princes are under the control of the Eastern King, isn't that the same as emptying himself? Then what do you want him to do? According to the traitor Hong Daquan. Hong Xiuquan already had 16 Wang Niang at that time, it can be seen that Hong Xiuquan had already begun to seek pleasure at that time, which was just his own nature. Since they are all crowned kings, there should be a record of the prince. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has clear regulations on what the prince eats, wears, and sits when he goes out. Even the name is very reasonable, such as Dongwang Yang Xiuqing called "He Naishi redeemed the sick master Zuo Fuzheng army division former general Dongwang Yang". Here, "He Nai Shi" and "Redemption Master" are all religious positions, "Zuo Fuzheng Army Division Former Chief General" is the chief general in the army, and "East King" is a political position. In today's terms, it is quite Yu "Comrade Yang Xiuqing, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Minister of the Military Department, and Chief Executive Officer". Later, I felt that the name was not long enough, so I added a few more words.
Before the Tianjing Incident, the Heavenly King conferred seven kings and nineteen marquises (according to records). Many of the Houye were close friends and relatives of the Eastern King, and most of them died in the Tianjing Incident.
After the Tianjing Incident, only Hong Xiuquan remained in the Kingdom of Heaven among the kings. Lao Hong no longer believed in foreign surname princes, so he named his two elder brothers "Fu Wang" and "An Wang". Above King Yu. Later, the position of king was simply abolished, and five titles of Yu, Yan, An, Fu, and Yi were established on Houshang. Shi Dakai changed his name to King Yi when he was a regular army division). At that time, the prime minister and inspector had already become petty officials.
It should be explained that the kings and marquises of all dynasties are titles, not official titles, while the princes in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are both titles and official titles.
The second time Hong was named king was in 1859. In less than a year, he successively named Qianwang, Zanwang, Yingwang, Zhongwang, Shiwang, Fuwang and Zhangwang, forming a new leadership team. King Qian became the prime minister, King Zan was the minister of the Ministry of Defense, King Ying and King Zhong were the first and second vice-chairmen of the military department respectively, and King Shi, King Fu and King Zhang were alternate ministers of the military department.
The third time was after 1861. This time the main purpose of the kingship was to divide the power of the loyal king and the British king. The British king was defeated on the western front. Several of the king's subordinates became kings in order to humiliate the British king; the loyal kings on the eastern front frequently won victories, and Lao Hong worried that the Li brothers were too powerful, so he also made his subordinates kings, and Li Xiucheng and Li Shixian both had the experience of being deposed from the throne .
At the same time, Hong Xiuquan also proclaimed his relatives as kings. In addition to changing the original An Wang and Fu Wang to Yong Wang and Xin Wang, he also named Ju Wang Hong Heyuan, Chong Wang Hongli Yuansui, Yuan Wang Hong Keyuan, Chang Wang Hong Ruiyuan, and Jian Wang. Hong Xianyuan, Tang Wang Hong Tangyuan, Tong Wang Hongzheyuan, Ci Wang Hongjinyuan, Dingwang Hongyuyuan, Hanwang Hongyuyuan, Jinwang Zhong Wanxin, Kaiwang Huang Dongliang, etc. All with metawords. They are all nephews of Lao Hong, the youngest of which is only ** years old. And the rankings were all ahead of King Ying and King Zhong. After only one year, the above list of recipients became: Zhenzhao Tianyou's nephew, He nephew, Fu nephew, He Yuan nephew, Li Yuan nephew, Ke Yuan nephew, Rui Yuan nephew, Jin Yuan nephew, Dong Liang son-in-law, Wen Sheng son-in-law, Wan Xingqin, Gan cell, Kui Yuan nephew, Da cell, Yu cell, Xiu cell, Yong nephew, Xian cell, auxiliary cell, Zhang cell, Wan nephew, Tian General, Commander, Commander, Despite, Shence, Imperial General, Protector of Beijing, Divine Envoy, Six Departments, Lord, Assistant General and the whole world, the same generation and one family, all the subjects know it. (Meng Deen was dead at that time, replaced by his son Meng Shiyong)
The entire Hong family tree.
Among these kings, according to Li Xiucheng's words, the most trusted by the heavenly kings is Xiao Youhe, the king of Youxi, and Meng Shiyong, the king of Youzan, who are both teenagers. Followed by Hong's two sons-in-law, and then Hong's two elder brothers. Xiao Youhe, Meng Shiyong and the other three Hong's children are collectively known as the Tianjing Five Dogs, who bully men and women and do all kinds of evil. It is not surprising that two playboys are allowed to control the power in the court, and the consequences of a large-scale conquest of the king will occur.
Until Tianjing was besieged. Hong Xiuquan continued to confer kings, and there is a record: "No matter who you ask, anyone who has someone to protect you will be sure.... Those who sneak away without merit will have their own kings." Even "those who came out from Guangxi were crowned kings, so were relatives in the same family, and those who donated money and food were also crowned kings. There were more than 2,700 kings." Since there are many kings, they are divided into five grades. The first grade is like Hong Rengan, the prime minister and government official; the second grade is like the military commander Li Xiucheng, the loyal king, and the servant king Li Shixian; Such as Compassion Wang Hong Renzheng, Zhao Wang Huang Wenying, do not command military power; the fifth class does not have another king title. Collectively known as kings. Some children were even crowned kings right after they were born, and in the end they didn't even have enough Chinese characters, so they added three more characters to differentiate them, which is really absurd.
It is not unreasonable for Li Xiucheng to list this as one of the reasons for the demise of the Heavenly Kingdom in his later "Ten Mistakes of the Heavenly Dynasty". Because once you are crowned king, you have to build a palace and have a fixed number of servants to send people. At the same time, it caused the comparison, corruption, and extravagance in the late Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. When the national treasury was empty, they searched among the people. It was the prince who walked everywhere, and the common people shed tears. Another evil result of the massive conferment of the king is that they are independent. When Hong Xiuquan named Chen Kunshu as the protector of the king. It was when Li Xiucheng was caught by the spy's plan to conquer Chen Zhi, Li Xiucheng was so angry that he scolded the king for being confused, and the conflict between Chen and Li arose. Later, when Suzhou was trapped, Li Xiucheng wrote to Chen Kunshu in Changzhou for help. Although the tone was already very polite and called brothers and affirmed righteousness, Chen Kunshu just ignored the beard. You are also a king, and I am also a king, why should I listen to you? "Li Xiucheng's Self-Report" said that Chen Kunshu "made Changzhou self-hegemony... divided and controlled my power", "I can't use it, I can't control it". You can see it. Later, Chen Kunshu could not escape the fate of being besieged and destroyed. Although Chen's death was also very heroic, it is said that at the end of the bloody battle, he was still standing in front of the palace with a sword in his hand, and the Qing soldiers did not dare to approach. But his responsibility for the overthrow of the kingdom of heaven is no less than those rebellious kings.
In the later stage of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the official system evolved greatly. There were too many levels, no distinction between officials and ranks, excessive rewards, and county guards were all crowned kings, which is unprecedented. Regardless of whether their positions require it, senior officials often set up a set of subordinate officials according to their official ranks. Administratively, fragmentation has occurred, and military affairs have led to ineffective command and a waste of manpower and material resources. This unreasonable official system became one of the reasons for the rapid failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom revolution. From Hong Xiuquan's way of becoming a king, we can see his way of being a king and governing the country. It would be a miracle if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was not destroyed by such a person.
Li Cong wants to be king, but it must not be like this, especially later, so Li Cong decided to make the king system basically similar to that of the Qing Dynasty. Li Cong decided to entrust six to ten princes, except for his own Except for the son, others cannot be hereditary. Of course, at present, I only have two sons, and the others cannot be made princes at once. This is also a direction that needs to be considered. Anyway, it has not started yet. Everything can come slowly, and Li Cong is not in such a hurry.
Sometimes the enfeoffment system can play an encouraging role, but sometimes some bad things may happen, for example, some princes who support their own self-respect don't listen to the teachings above, which is very likely to happen. The problem is, Li Cong has been holding back in the house for several days, and it is determined how to divide the entrustment in the future. Generally speaking, it is impossible for the first generation to prevent these people from having real power, but the next generation will not work. These nobles are more What you need is a living guarantee. Of course, capable people in the nobles must also use it, but before using it, you have to go to Africa for training. Now it may be okay for you to be loyal to Li Cong, but one day Li Cong What about when you're not around? Will he still be loyal to the Li family? These are things that are difficult to determine.
Of course, now that there is an empire, there must also be a harem. Li Cong now feels that he has a lot of wives, but if he improves it according to the harem system of the Qing Dynasty, he still lacks a lot.
There was no concubine system in the Nurhachi period outside the Guanwai. At this time, the wives and concubines had no names, but were called "Fu Jin" or "Ge Ge". Nurhachi's 16 wives were all named "Fujin" (later Dafujin was temporarily called queen according to the later system, and the others were called concubines). During the Huangtaiji period, there were distinctions between empresses and concubines, and five palaces were established: Qingning Palace in the Middle Palace, Guanju Palace in the East Palace, Linzhi Palace in the West Palace, Yanqing Palace in the Second East Palace, and Yongfu Palace in the West Palace.
After entering the customs, the names of concubines increased. In the 15th year of Shunzhi (1658), it was decided to adopt the suggestion of the etiquette officer. The Qianqing Palace had 1 wife, 1 Shuyi, 1 Wanshi, and 30 Rouwan and Fangwan. There is one Zhenrong and two Shenrong in the Compassionate Palace, and there is no fixed number of diligent attendants. In addition, there are female officers. However, this system was not really enforced. At the same time, the titles of "Fujin" and "Gege" still exist.
After the reign of Kangxi, the code system was perfected, and the use of "Fu Jin" and "Ge Ge" to address concubines in the harem disappeared. Concubine set up 1 empress, living in the middle palace, 1 imperial concubine, 2 noble concubines, 4 concubines, 6 concubines nobles, always present, promised, there is no fixed number, separated into 12 palaces in east and west. The East Palace includes Jingren Palace, Chengqian Palace, Zhongcui Palace, Yanxi Palace, Yonghe Palace, and Jingyang Palace, while the West Palace includes Yongshou Palace, Yikun Palace, Qixiang Palace, Changchun Palace, Xianfu Palace, and Chuxiu Palace. There are maids in every palace for service.
Let's not talk about those behind, that is, there must be more than a dozen of the famous people in the front. Now Li Cong is far behind that number, but he can't force marriage just because of this number. I don’t want to come up with a size, but now there must be a level. It seems that there will still be some headaches when I go home. It is said that it is difficult for an upright official to break up housework. This sentence is not false at all. Usually one by one It looks good, but if it really threatens your status, it will be another look. Rs! ! !
