I’d rather play as a literal monkey samurai taking on the tiger bandits.
I just realized I'm not aware of a good common name for elite historical Chinese infantry. No hoplite or legionary or immortal or knight or samurai or viking or janissary or housecarls or etc. I know there's layers to those, but they're a decent enough term to picture who you're talking about.
I think "Imperial Guards" is probably the closest they had, and it speaks a lot to how their society was set up.
They kept their best men around for the constant and regular coup attempts on their lives, and let the real fighting be fought by peasants with farm tools or barely capable idiots of their main army.
