If there are two or more lords of a banner, who is the banner owner, this was also a principle at that time, that is, the elder and the younger were in order, and the elder brother was the banner owner. For example, the two lords with the white flag are Dolgon and Azig, because Azig is the elder brother, so Azig is the banner master, and later Azig was removed from the crime, and Dolgon became the banner owner.

Another example is that the banner owner of the Blue Banner is Mang Gurtai, and after his death, he will be succeeded by the Derge class as the banner master. The same is true for the red flag, and Daishan's eldest son Yue is entrusted as the flag owner. It should be noted that those who serve as the flag owner are all descendants, and those who are concubines cannot serve as the flag master.

Third, the lord of the Eight Banners is not the same as the lord of the banner,

The lord leads his own banner and leads his subordinates, forming a subordinate relationship, which is not a subordinate relationship in the general bureaucracy. The master is the master, the genus is the slave, and the person has the attribute of life to the lord. There are two kinds of people, one is called "Aha", who is a pure domestic slave and a subordinate under the collar of the cloth. The other is called "Zhushen", and after entering the customs, it is called "Hello", which is the leader of the banner, and these two kinds of people have a master-slave relationship with the lord of the leader, but the degree of subordination is different.

Aha served in the house of his master, and the state had no right to serve them. And Zhu Shen is a subordinate of the banner and a subordinate of the state, and after being divided, he belongs to the subjects under the lord, and has a private attribute to the lord, so he has both the two subordinate relationships of the state and the lord.

Although the eight banners under the feudal system of the lord are concentrated under the Later Jin regime, on the other hand, each banner is a relatively independent political unit, and its officials have their own banner people.

Therefore, before entering the customs and at the beginning of entering the customs, as soon as you see someone as the flag official of a certain flag, you can determine his flag status, clarify his flag status, and you can judge who his master is and who he has a main relationship. As for the principle of the system of the banner person serving as the flag officer, it was not changed until the 36th year of Kangxi, and the capital and deputy capital could cross the flag and serve.

It is precisely because each banner is a relatively independent political unit, and the regime in the early Qing Dynasty was composed of the Eight Banners, so the major national policies in the early Qing Dynasty must be jointly resolved by the lords of the Eight Banners, all of which are indispensable. Because the Eight Banners have common affairs, the Later Jin and Qing regimes jointly organized by the Eight Banners, and the centralized state affairs, must be jointly decided. Therefore, the banner lord and lord at that time all had the power of course to parliament, which was called "into the eight".

In a regime composed of eight banners, each flag accounts for one-eighth, and when the government is discussed together, it should be included in the eighth. At that time, in addition to the banner lord and lord, there was also the supreme administrator of each banner, Gushan Ezhen, one person for each banner. During the Chongde period, some ministers were appointed to expand the number of parliamentary ministers, and the flags were also divided equally, still accounting for one-eighth.

The "eight-point" political system under the division of the Eight Banners is also reflected in the financial aspect. Each flag was an economic entity, and trade with the border people of the Ming Dynasty was carried out with the flag as its own independent unit. In addition, there is also the saying that the property is divided equally among the eight banners. If the spoils of war were obtained, such as plundering a large amount of gold and silver treasures, livestock, and people, the eight families divided it equally after the war, and after occupying a large amount of land, the eight families divided it equally.

The banner lord and lord also have some kind of personal possession of the banner army, because the soldiers of the banner are the lord's subordinates. Among them, the elite troops of the Eight Banners, Bayala (Guardian Army), are the armies of each lord with strong private attributes, guarding their own mansions. This system was also followed until the Yongzheng Dynasty.

Of course, after entering the customs, especially in the Kangxi Dynasty, the power of the Eight Banners was weakened, and the centralized power continued to increase, but there was a Qing generation, and the Eight Banners system was still the fundamental system of the country, and it was still the case until the end of the Qing Dynasty.
