In the long scroll of 5,000 years of history, there is such a dazzling chapter, showing the incomparable and powerful military power of the Qing Dynasty, and the shock makes people fall for it! This heroic city stands in the forest of the world, and its uniqueness lies in its extraordinary military system. This treasure is the crystallization of the outstanding wisdom of many outstanding ethnic cultures such as Manchu, Han and Mongolia, and writes a solemn stroke in the vast starry sky of the universe. The Eight Banners system is like an indestructible cornerstone, supporting a mighty and domineering army; Skilled cavalry, vigorous infantry and courageous navy lead all kinds of elite warriors together, as if a furnace burning with passion and enthusiasm, creating a group of iron-clad and fierce war machines.
However, if we dig deeper, we will be surprised to find that the Manchurian Eight Banners cavalry can be called the core backbone of the Qing army, and they have become a heroic symbol on the battlefield with their fighting spirit of sacrificing their lives and forgetting death! Despite countless fierce battles, they always stick to their faith and original intention, and their determination to defend their glory to the death makes any man tremble. More importantly, their firm belief not only won the glory of victory, but also won the respect and admiration of the people.
In addition, those famous, powerful and highly accurate firearms were also entrusted with a major mission by the rulers of the Qing court. According to historical records, the Qing Dynasty borrowed the rich combat experience of the Ming Dynasty to introduce a variety of new types of extremely lethal and powerful firepower, such as artillery and muskets, etc., the introduction of these high-end technologies, like injecting a powerful vitality medicine into the Qing army, significantly improved the strength of the army in a short period of time. In the training stage, the Qing Dynasty strictly implements a rigorous and thorough training system, requiring soldiers to constantly hone their skills and pursue perfection in every action.
Although the times changed, the political corruption and economic decay of the Qing Dynasty society became increasingly serious, resulting in the gradual decline of the combat effectiveness of the Qing army. Faced with the wrath of the foreign powers, the Qing army suffered one blow after another, and had to accept the fate of the collapse of the empire. This embarrassing history, the glorious dynasty of the past, can only helplessly play the sad protagonist and carry that tragic elegy. From the date of the grand exhibition in 1644 to the moment of the final curtain in 1912, this once glorious giant finally chose to fade out of sight in obscurity, drawing a weighty exclamation point for its own glory. Even so, the military system of the Qing Dynasty and the firearms technology it adopted left a deep imprint on the long history of Chinese civilization, and had a huge and far-reaching impact on later generations.
