Did the military strength of the early Qing Dynasty dare to compete with Western countries?

The military strength of the early Qing Dynasty was still okay, and the West was not so developed. Therefore, the early Qing Dynasty was not afraid of Western countries.

It depends on how to fight, if it is the Western countries to attack us, then it is not said, there is no return, but if we are to attack them, it is estimated that there is no return, the Western countries are too far away from us, let's not talk about the problem of supply, but no one can bear the long journey, I can't remember, it seems that it was the Sixth Crusade, we fought with them once, that was the Xiongnu fight, and it is also our Chinese nation, at that time the Xiongnu were driven out of the Hetao area and moved westward, after arriving in the Kashmir regionAfter taking root, slowly began to expand, the then king Sattila can be said to be the last king of the Huns, after he recovered the Visigoths, and the whole of Europe conducted a decisive battle, the pope at that time called for the Crusades, that is, this crusade is suitable for the Huns to fight, but the Huns were defeated, 500,000 troops killed and wounded more than 300,000, although it is the Gothic combat effectiveness is not good, but the deep reason is the location, hehe, so the war location is very important.

We are the big sword grass, and the people are the cannons.

In the late Qing Dynasty, many people realized that the Qing Dynasty had decayed and decayed, but these people represented by Li Hongzhang Zuo Zongtang did not give up the Qing Dynasty, they launched the Westernization Movement, they advocated the purchase of advanced equipment and technology from the West to consolidate and strengthen the strength of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty treasury at that time was very sufficient, with a large number of **, so the arms dealers from other developed countries in Europe and the United States came to the Qing Dynasty to negotiate, and brought their advanced ** to Li Hongzhang's people**, Li HongzhangI thought it was very good, so I bought a large number of **, including a lot of warships and used these warships to form the later Beiyang Naval Division.

Although the military strength of the late Qing Dynasty was improved by purchasing a large number of **, this could not change the decay and backwardness of the Qing DynastyBecause the Qing Dynasty was really rotten by the system, not by these external things, since the First Sino-Japanese War, the Qing Dynasty has been more and more towards the end of the world, and the Qing Dynasty has also been divided by other countries.

The military strength of the Qing army at that time was not very strong, because their equipment was relatively backward, and the combat ability of the soldiers was relatively low.

The military strength of the Qing army at that time was still very strong, and it could be ranked first in the world at that time, because the Qing army's equipment at that time was also very high, and they also had a set of wars.

In the early period of the founding of the Qing Dynasty (1644-around 1800), the military strength mainly relied on the Eight Banners of Manchuria, which had the advantages of strict organization, strict discipline and strong combat effectiveness.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty (around 1800-1912), it faced internal and external troubles, including internal problems such as political corruption, economic decline, and people's suffering, as well as external pressures such as the invasion of foreign powers and the rise of national independence movements.

The Ming Dynasty actually lost in its own hands. For example, in the Battle of the Hunhe River, thousands of Qi's army killed and injured tens of thousands of Jurchen troops under the siege of the Eight Banners, as well as the Battle of Ding Mao, the Dongjiang Army beheaded nearly 6,000, and the most powerful blue flag in the Eight Banners almost lost its combat effectiveness, and the Dongjiang Army later even regained Salhu City in one fell swoop and beheaded 3,000, and the soldiers pointed directly at the city of Shenyang in Liaoyang, and the frightened Nurhachi rushed back to Shenyang from Ningyuan to reinforce them.

But no matter how hard you fight, you can't stop the Ming Dynasty's stupid tricks. forced the Liao army to recover Shenyang, but in the Hunhe River, the Qi family army was annihilated, Mao Wenlong's military exploits were impressive, the result was unclear, and his head was cut off, and finally led to the annihilation of the Dongjiang army, knowing that the Dongjiang army and the Shandong Buzheng Division had a grudge, and he had to throw the remnants of the Dongjiang army on the border of Shandong, and as a result, he forced Kong Youde's gang, knowing that the Mongols and the Jurchens were not in harmony, and still watched Mongolia being attacked by the Jurchens and ignored it, and as a result, he forced the Mongolian tribes to the Jurchen side. Knowing that Guan Ningjun had never won a battle against the Eight Banners, he still had to spend three million taels of silver every year to raise a group of rice buckets, and he knew that the landlords and merchants in Jiangnan were rich and rivaled the country, and the peasants in Shaanxi and Henan were no longer able to eat, so they actually reduced the commercial tax and increased the agricultural tax, and as a result, the peasants were forced to rebel. This gang of faint tricks came out, don't say that the national strength in the last years of the dynasty can't stand it, it is estimated that the Ming Dynasty in the year of Yongli can't hold it.

Army and Navy. They are, the Eight Banners, the Green Battalion, the Hunan Army and the Huai Army, the Defense Army and the Training Army, the Naval Division, and the New Army. Together, they formed the military power of the Qing Dynasty.

There are more than 2 million in the Army alone. There are 10,000 people in the navy! Hehe.

Can such a military power not be strong? Therefore, my Qing Dynasty is very powerful and one of the best military powers in the world.

The territorial division of the Qing Dynasty.

I don't need to explain it in words, just go straight to the picture, hehe! The diagram is the most intuitive.

Corruption ruined the entire Ming Dynasty. It is not enough to rely only on advanced equipment to make the military strong, the key lies in the people. In the late Ming Dynasty, there were already firearms battalions and Hongyi cannons. After the Dengzhou military mutiny, these advantages of the Ming Dynasty were lost step by step.

The military strength of the early Qing Dynasty was one of the best in the world.

At that time, the Eight Banners Army was indeed very strong

No, it was the war loss during the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, the national strength was greatly damaged, and then it was the Chongzhen period, the arrival of the Xiaoice River period, the national drought, the collapse of the country's finances, especially the drought in the northwest, catching up with the invasion of the Jin soldiers, in order to resist the Jin, 200,000 intelligence post guards (800 li expedited express), this post pawn produced a Li Zicheng, and later rebelled with the displaced people, there were internal and external troubles, different intelligence, and no power to return to the sky!

Ming Death and Wanli.

Able to fight well and unstoppable.

It is not good to say that the Qing Dynasty is strong, it is not good to say that it covers an area of more than 13 million square kilometers, and it is not good to say that there are 19 subject countries, how can it defeat my Ming Dynasty of more than 3.5 million square kilometers at most? Those who said that the Qing Dynasty was strong were traitors and lackeys.

During the reign of Huang Taiji to the period of Kangxi's resistance to the invasion of Tsarist Russia, the military peak of the Qing Dynasty, after Yongzheng, the domestic war decreased, the national corruption became increasingly serious, and the combat effectiveness of the army was seriously weakened.

It should be the Kangxi period, when the Qing Dynasty was also regarded as the world's superpower, the financial and military strength was the most abundant, and although the national strength was strong during the Qianlong period, the modernization of the West had begun.
