The abolition of the Eight Banners originated from the middle of the three years of the reform, but the whole process lasted for 10 years. Because the adjustment of a fundamental system involves all aspects of interests and entanglements. Although the emperor tried his best to promote it with thunderous means by quelling the rebellion of relatives and nobles, he was still active and steady in terms of specific practices.

Taking the flag soldiers as an example, the Eight Banners in the capital were originally not very dependent on the garrison tasks of the Imperial Guards and others, and it would be fine if they were abolished. However, in remote areas, such as Heilongjiang and Xi'an, there were a large number of flag soldiers stationed, and the flag soldiers were in a hardship and garrison tasks that were held by the Eight Banners in the capital, which was not simply abolished.

For example, if the Han army flag is to be abolished, the Han army flag will also be abolished. If they are not given corresponding preferential treatment, the Han army flag will definitely rise up and rebellion. Even if they do not rebel, millions of people may be a huge hidden danger in the future. However, if they are given the corresponding treatment to the Manchu Eight Banners, not to mention that the Manchu Eight Banners will have great opinions, even the empire's finances will be difficult to accept. Finally, after agreement, the Han army flag will be abolished, and the settlement fee will be paid for 30 yuan, but with the exemption of the future 5 land taxes and money and grain. Both are happy.

In addition to the Eight Banners of Manchu and Han, the Eight Banners of Mongolia are also quite difficult problems. The emperor learned from the Qing court's tough implementation of the new policy in Mongolia in history, which resulted in the lessons of Mongolia's princes being disunited to the central government, and was extremely cautious in the reforms of Mongolia and particularly tolerant of the Mongolian princes. Finally, eight solutions were agreed:

1. The Mongolian Eight Banners system shall be based on the opinions of the princes and princes in which they are located, and they shall be subject to the abolition. The court shall not interfere. However, if the throne of the prince and the duke is not allowed to be enthroned by the imperial court, it shall be regarded as usurpation;

2 The Mongolian elected representatives to attend the Imperial Congress shall comply with the corresponding laws, but how the Congress representatives shall be selected shall be negotiated by each Mongolian banner and submitted to the court for approval;

3 Regardless of whether the Eight Banners of Mongolia are in existence or destruction, the guards under the Mongolian princes and princes shall not exceed 400 and shall not form troops privately. The Mongolian Chinese are included in the unified recruitment scope of the Ministry of National Defense and shall be compiled according to the Imperial National Defense Law and shall not violate them;

4 The land in Mongolia is allowed to be sold freely, but it cannot be sold to outsiders. Mongolians sell to Manchus and Han people, nor can they be stopped, and Mongolians are allowed to enter the mainland to buy land and real estate;

5 The construction funds for facilities such as railways, highways, telegraph bureaus and other facilities in Mongolia are all borne by the court, and the occupied land is also purchased at fair prices, but local princes and princes shall not obstruct them for other reasons;

6 All systems such as weights, coins, and laws in Mongolia must be consistent with the improved local system of the imperial court, but it is allowed to retain Mongolian traditions and national characteristics. The imperial court also respects Mongolian traditional religions very much;

7 If there are smart and willing to study abroad, Mongolian children can be assessed by the Imperial Ministry of Education and go abroad directly or go to their own universities to receive preparatory courses. The funds will be borne by the court;

8 Each Mongolian prince and prince should select children over 1 to 2 years old and under 15 years old to go to Beijing to receive school.

This is the case with Mongolian policies and Tibet policies. The emperor's meaning is very clear. These two places have a large territory, few people, culture and interactions, and are in an extremely closed state. Traditional customs are particularly powerful, so modernization should not be rushed. The best way is to maintain the traditional control and influence of the court, and at the same time increase the communication and exchange of modern information, and change old customs through subtle infiltration rather than mandatory administrative orders. At the same time, in view of the lessons of later ethnic policies, the emperor only respects the ethnic characteristics of Mongolian and Tibetan ethnic groups, but does not grant them rights higher than other ethnic groups.

Eliminating ethnic domains not only refers to eliminating Manchu and Han domains, but also eliminating factors such as Mongolian and Han domains, Tibetan and Han domains, Manchu and Mongolia domains.

The announcement of the "Emperorial on the Planning of the Eight Banners System of Mongolia" on the ninth day of the third year of the Reformation was marked by the announcement of the special bonds and political marriages of Manchuria and Mongolia for about 300 years were formally eliminated. From then on, the empire regarded the Mongolian tribes as the people of the world, and the Mongolian tribes did not have to bear additional obligations to the court. Of course, as a heritage of history, the special connection between Mongolian and Manchus and the imperial court could not disappear together. The emperor himself accepted the Mongolian beauty Hailin as a concubine and was crowned as a concubine of Yi, becoming the third concubine to the emperor since the Reformation.

In order to further stabilize ethnic relations and strengthen the centripetal force of the border, the emperor issued two edicts "Edict on the Planning of the Hui Ministry" and "Edict on the Planning of Appeasement of the Tibetan Ministry". The court changed the hatred and hostile attitude towards the Hui Ministry in the past 300 periods, and recognized for the first time that the Hui Ministry had equal rights with other ethnic groups, and was willing to grant the Hui Ministry the right to autonomy in the areas where the ethnic group lived, similar to Mongolia.

The officials were willing to respect the missionary power of Islam in the Hui tribe. The Hui tribe was also the place of representatives of the parliament. One was the Bide Court and the other two were the Supervisory House. This marked that the Hui tribe participated in national affairs as a normal political identity, and no longer had the burden of 200 revenge when the power of the back and forth was slightly stronger, nor was there any military scale like Zuo Zongtang's revenge. After hundreds of years of hard struggle, the Hui tribe was unable to obtain national autonomy, but unexpectedly, it was obtained overnight, and the emperor's reputation was far-reaching. Although an edict was difficult to resolve the grudges of hundreds of years between ethnic groups, with the correct ethnic policy, ethnic disputes and estrangements always ended up breaking the ice.

The relationship between the court and Tibet is relatively sensitive because it involves Sino-British relations. Although the emperor is focused on restoring the court's traditional influence on the Tibetan authorities, the infiltration of Tibet by the British and Indian authorities has reached an unparalleled level. What's more, the Tibetan border areas such as Sichuan are not stable themselves, and it is not feasible to introduce tough military solutions in a short period of time. It is introduced to further stabilize and win over the Tibetan Ministry of China, reduce efforts to enforce the new policy in Tibet, and adapt to the current situation in Tibet with a compromise that stabilizes the overall situation. Of course, this is just a transitional policy that the emperor had no choice but to do.

With the gradual abolition of the Eight Banners system and the gradual dissolution of the ethnic domain, the emperor also made major improvements to the original title system.

Originally, the imperial titles were divided into two types: royal titles and meritorious titles. The royal titles included Prince Heshuo, the legitimate son of the prince, Duluo Prince, the eldest son of the prince, Duluo Beile, Gushan Beizi, Duke Zhenguo, and Duke of the auxiliary king. If they did not enter the Duke of the eighth century, they would not enter the Duke of the eighth century, the first to third grade, the auxiliary king, the first to third grade, the Fengen General, and the Fengen General. There were 14 generals of the eighth grade before and the eighth century, which was different from the subsequent titles of Duke of the eighth century, and the eighth century. The meritorious titles were divided into Duke of the king, Hou, Bo, Zi, Male, Light Cycling Duwei, Cavalry Duwei, Yunqi Wei, and Enqi Wei.

According to the "Great Chinese Empire Title Law" promulgated on the ninth day of the third year of Reformation, imperial titles no longer distinguish between royal titles and meritorious titles, and are unified into a single title system, both called imperial titles, and at the same time, the system of linking the original titles to the official rank is abolished.

In the new title system, it is divided into princes, princes, belles, beizi, dukes, first to third grades, marquis, first to third grades, first to third grades, sons, first to third grades, male to third grades, light ches, cavalry lieutenant, Yunqiwei, and Enqiwei lieutenant.

The "Lottery Law" stipulates that princes, princes, belle, and belle are royal titles, and those without royal blood shall not be granted. The crown prince and eldest son of the original royal titles are respectively granted to belle and belle respectively. The emperor's sons are awarded the titles from Beizi. The Duke of Zhenguo, and the Duke of the Supplementary State shall be the first to second class of the new titles. If they do not enter the Duke of Zhenguo, the Duke of the Eight Fen of the Supplementary State shall be the first to second class of the new titles. If they do not enter the Duke of Zhenguo, the Duke of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen of the Eight Fen

The "Letter Law" also stipulates the inheritance of titles, which are different from the hereditary and non-hereditary. If it is a hereditary title, then after the title is granted, the descendants will still inherit this title, and the rank will not be shaken. If it is a non-hereditary title, the title inherited by each generation of descendants must be reduced to prevent the descendants from lying on the merit book of their ancestors and not seeking progress. However, there are two main aspects that are quite different from the old regulations. One is the reduction. The original title law stipulates that one generation will only be reduced to one level, and the new title law stipulates that one generation will only be reduced to one level, and the new title law stipulates that one generation will be reduced to three levels, and at most nine generations will be reduced to the title. The second is the time for the award. The former sons of the clan had a title as soon as they were born. Now it stipulates that only those who were 15 years old, those who received basic education and passed the assessment can inherit the title, avoiding the embarrassing scenes such as the + prince and the two-month-old Yunqiwei.

Since a large number of relatives and nobles have been eliminated or deprived of their titles in the rebellion, the remaining ones were promoted to the first level not long ago, so the promulgation of the "Letter Law" was not resisted. Due to the integration of meritorious officials and royal family titles, all public opinion commented that the emperor's goal of practicing "Manchu-Han integration" and "integration domain" was to be hard and sincere.
