The Imperial Guards (Шаблон:Zh) of the Qing dynasty were a select detachment of Manchu and Mongol bannermen responsible for guarding the Forbidden City in Beijing, the emperor, and the emperor's family. The Imperial Guards were divided into three groups:Шаблон:Sfn the Guard Corps, the Vanguard, and the Imperial Bodyguard.Шаблон:Sfn

Guard Corps

The Guard Corps (Manchu: bayara; Шаблон:Zh) was assigned to protect the imperial palace. Soldiers from the Manchu and Mongol banners would be admitted to serve in the unit. The Guard corps was about ten times the size of the Vanguard and Imperial Bodyguards, and was the largest formation of the Imperial Guards.Шаблон:Sfn

Vanguard

The Vanguard (Manchu: gabsihiyan; Шаблон:Zh) corps was assigned to march ahead of the emperor when he left the palace. Soldiers from the Manchu and Mongol banners could join. The Vanguard consisted of about 1500 men.Шаблон:Sfn

Imperial Bodyguard

The Imperial Bodyguard (Manchu: hiya; Шаблон:Zh) corps was assigned to protect the emperor at all times. Only Manchu bannermen could join, and most members came from the upper three banners. Like the Vanguard, the Imperial Bodyguard consisted of about 1500 men.Шаблон:Sfn
