In the impression of a lot of people, quiet day army is using bolo pike from beginning to end, after be raped to hit by western row, just use firearm stage by stage. This acknowledge is wrong, the likelihood was to get the influence of drama of all sorts of movie and TV, because all sorts of cold enginery always are in drama of movie and TV. Actually, in period of Qianlong emperor v/arc be on the throne, quiet day army had equiped many firearm, just function is not as advanced as western army. Compare with contemporaneous British army photograph, difference did not imagine medium so big.
Quiet day is the political power that nation of northward fishing and hunting builds, quiet day enters the initial stage that pass, used a means of cold enginery of Eight Banners army really. In period of Kang Xi's emperor, quiet day fights legionarily mode is such: Above all artillery open a way, after bombard, the cavalry of quiet day and dogface begin assault. Can be the change as the times, quiet day high level discovers stage by stage, before oneself fight mode had fallen behind. Arrived Qianlong emperor period, the dogface of quiet day had equiped the bird Chong of each types and other firearm. Through computation, the quiet day army that has 1/3 about uses firearm, the officers and soldiers of the others still uses cold weapon.
Inside 60 years of Qianlong emperor v/arc be on the throne, add up to erupted 10 times war, be called 10 complete gest. In this one period, quiet day fights legionarily kind had produced fundamental change, begin army of occurrence both sides to be opposite with firearm ejaculation setting. The senior high-ranking military officer of quiet day people also not be fool, be in a series of in adversary, the firearm that comparatived to equip to be imported from England partly. A few Qing Dynasty perceived the gap with oneself and western direct firearm toward general, once suggested to undertake upgrading, nevertheless, this thing ended up with nothing definite finally. Say so, quiet day army is not the cold enginery in partial person impression army.
Of course, in Qianlong emperor period, qing Dynasty drops substantially toward military combat effectiveness, this also is a fact. Actually, from Kang Xi imperial period begins, qing Dynasty has begun to drop stage by stage toward military combat effectiveness, nevertheless, this is a slow process. Arrived the evening of Qianlong emperor v/arc be on the throne, the body of whole country and Qianlong emperor is same, had appeared apparent exhausted condition. England once sent ambassador-at-large horse to knock gently Er Buddhist nun visits quiet day, the horse knocks gently Er Buddhist nun watched quiet day firearm the maneuver of army and battalion of be good at acute. The horse knocks gently Er Buddhist nun feels quiet day army is to deal with assignment completely, do not have the gas of legionary and due tiger wolf at all.
Quiet day respect discovered the difference of oneself and west, but after all difference is how old, qing Chaogao also does not have a bottom in layer heart. The horse knocks gently Er Buddhist nun brought the battleship model with newest limejuicer, this kind of battleship can install artillery piece of many 70 naval vessel. At that time, the battleship with the oldest division of water of quiet day Guangdong, also can install many 10 artillery only. Face such gap, no matter be Qianlong emperor, or advocate the Fukangan that grabs martial job, pretend to be attitude, talk with British ambassador-at-large exceedingly proud. Meanwhile, command be ready in take action of and other places of Guangdong, Fujian. This shows, advanced science and technology of the west astonished quiet day high level successfully.
Nevertheless, qing Dynasty is accumulated stage by stage toward 100 old disease, in one day can not change this. In period of v/arc be on the throne of Jia Qinghuang emperor, quiet day army does not have how old change. It is even after first time the Opium War, after eating to have a deficit, qing Chaoreng does not have too big movement. Quiet day still is the attitude of a pair of Tian Chaoda country, till the 2nd the Opium War during, army is defeated again, link a capital also by flower law after allied forces is occupational, qing Chaocai began famous Westernization Movement.
