Why generals.

The question pointed out by "fate" is really not simple. Here's a confession about the motivation for writing.

Zhang Fu was a Han Chinese, and in the Qing Dynasty, he was naturally the leader of the Green Battalion. In order to strengthen its rule in the country, the Qing court recruited the Han army and the Ming Dynasty's surrender army for reorganization, and in order to distinguish the Eight Banners troops, this Han army used the green flag.

The establishment of the green battalion is: Admiral, from the first product. The total soldier, is the second product. Adjutant general, from the second rank. Counselor, is the third product. Guerrilla, from the three pins. Wait. Because the formed unit of this army is a battalion, it is known as the green battalion in history.

The Green Battalion was divided into four types: horsemen, soldiers, garrisons, and sailors, and was stationed in Beijing and various provinces. The Green Battalion stationed in Beijing was called the Patrol Battalion and was commanded by the infantry commander.

After the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Qing court restructured the army and established the New Army. It's called a town, it's a division.

What kind of soldier Zhang Fu is is not said in the novel. If you write directly about his official position, historians immediately know who it is. Know what is going on with their families and future generations. In order to avoid this, it is written as a general, whether it is a general soldier or a deputy general or a staff general. Or the commander of any soldier, no one will verify it.
