The training of the Cavalry Division and the Guards Division was implemented in strict accordance with the training outline previously drawn up by Zhao Qiang, but the training was still generally based on the training methods of the Zhou Army developed by the original Guan Ning Army and Wu Sangui brought to the Pass. [ ]. Cavalry
On the other hand, what Zhao Qiang knew was basically the same as the soldiers of this era, and he did not surpass the cavalry generals of this era just because he had two or three hundred years of experience.
If you don’t understand, let those who understand do it. Zhao Qiang does this very well. He never interferes in everything like later principals, but boldly uses people who know what they do and lets them do things they don’t understand.
.So the training of the cavalry division is implemented from top to bottom by the chief officers of the cavalry division. Zhao Qiang only wants to achieve results without interfering. Besides, he can't do anything to make the cavalry more capable in a short period of time.
The division's combat effectiveness has achieved a qualitative leap.
Since its birth, the cavalry has gone through two thousand years of testing and continuous improvement by successive generals. By this time, all aspects have matured and there is no need to make major changes. History also told Zhao Qiang that in more than a hundred years, the cavalry will
From the historical decline of human warfare and even the eventual dissipation in the long river of history, it was replaced by the thermal firearms army. Therefore, for the cavalry division that can still play a role in this era without having to think of ways to improve it, Zhao Qiang just allowed it to develop along the traditional path.
He is not crazy enough to want to perform major surgery on the cavalry, turning them into "renewed" new creatures.
However, not intervening does not mean that Zhao Qiang has no regrets or ideas. He has it, but he has no way to do it. He knows very well that in terms of the number of cavalry, no matter how many he recruits, he will not be able to catch up with the army. They have three soldiers from Manchu, Mongolia and Han.
The cavalry of the Eight Banners is available. If it is lost, it can be replenished by the Mongolian tribes, or millions of Han people can be requisitioned as cannon fodder. In short, the Qing army has a terrifying number of troops. They don't care at all about one or two defeats in which tens of thousands of people were killed and wounded. Zhao Qiang
He doesn't care, because he can't bear a defeat of this scale. The reason is simple, he has no soldiers to supplement. The territory under his rule is very large, really very large. Zhao Qiang once calculated that only the territory currently occupied by Guan Ning's army,
If you take it to Guannei, it is the combined area of Henan, Hebei, and Shandong provinces. However, in such a large territory, the total number of soldiers and civilians is less than 70,000. This means that if they go south, the cavalry division will be in the Qing army.
If they are annihilated under the attack of heavy troops, then Zhao Qiang will have cavalry available again, and his Guan Ning army will become winged angels and eventually wither away from the world.
It is impossible for France to simply compare the number of cavalry with the Qing army, so Zhao Qiang can only hope that the cavalry of the Guan Ning army can surpass the Qing army by several heads in combat effectiveness, and achieve the maximum results with minimal casualties in every battle. However, with only the existing cavalry
The weapons and equipment and the quality of the soldiers were nothing more than a wishful thinking. And the only thing that could make his wish come true was the three-eyed blazing weapon.
The three-eyed gun is a weapon of mass destruction in the Ming Dynasty. Its style is similar to that of an old-fashioned gun. It has three ignition devices and three medicine chambers. It can fire three rounds in a row or all at once. It is a popular weapon in the world at that time and now.
The most developed firearm. The three-eyed blunderbuss is small in size. When the cavalry charges, the firepower of three rounds will cause great damage and shock to the opponent. After the launch, it can be used as a hammer weapon, using the running speed and heavy hitting speed of the horse.
It is by no means inferior to any horse warfare weapon. Just one hit will kill the opponent. The man who made the three-eyed blunderbuss a deadly weapon for cavalry and became famous throughout the ages is someone Zhao Qiang admired endlessly throughout his life every time he wrote "History of the Ming Dynasty".
The old man, it was this old man who created the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, the predecessor of Guan Ning Army.
"Those who are not able to attack are more than enough to defend. It is not easy to say that if you use their talents to restore the strength, it is not easy to say that if you appoint them full-time, it will be enough to consolidate and defend."
This sentence comes from the biography of a person. The meaning of this sentence is: It is not easy to restore the lost country with this person's talent, but if you trust him and let him hand over the power, then the existing country will be stabilized.
Yes. This is the highest evaluation. This sentence comes from "History of Ming Dynasty", and the person who compiled "History of Ming Dynasty" was a historian of the Qing Dynasty.
In a dynasty like the Qing Dynasty, where word prisons were rampant and the moral integrity of the Han people was castrated, people who said such words would be beheaded. Because the implicit meaning of these words is: if this person has been in office, the Qing Dynasty will not be able to win.
The world. But the historians of the Qing Dynasty said it and wrote such words into the "History of the Ming Dynasty". They were not criticized or scolded by the emperor, and no one was punished for it. At the same time, they also used a
A very special way to express your respect for this person.
In the 220-volume biography of the Ming Dynasty, which records the deeds of thousands of people, several heroes well-known to future generations are crowded together with others, but this person's biography only contains him and his descendants!
This person is not Xu Da, whose biography includes Chang Yuchun; nor Liu Bowen, whose biography includes Song Lian, Ye Chen, and Zhang Yi; nor Wang Shouren, whose biography includes his disciple Ji Yuanheng; nor Zhang Juzheng
, Zhang Juzheng’s biography includes his teacher Xu Jie and his rival Gao Gong; let alone Yuan Chonghuan, because there are ten people in Yuan Chonghuan’s biography.
This man is Sun Chengzong, the greatest strategist in the late Ming Dynasty, the nemesis of Nurhachi and his son, the defender of the capital, the teacher of the emperor, and the founder of the Guan Ning Cavalry! It is precisely because of this man that there is Yuan Chonghuan, Mangui, and
Only with Zhao Lijiao can there be He Kegang, only Zu Dashou, only Wu Xiang, and only Wu Sangui...
Sun Chengzong was the teacher of Emperor Tianqi. After the crisis in Liaodong, he left the country at the age of sixty to personally investigate the situation, and finally made the decision to "defend Liao soil with Liao people". Under the influence of this policy, the predecessor of Guan Ning Army
The Liaodong Iron Cavalry was established. The 7,000 people who first entered the Liaodong Iron Cavalry were all refugees. They were all men whose families had been destroyed and who had an sworn hatred against Hou Jin. These people defended the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years until the end. And the reason why the Liaodong Iron Cavalry was established
Such prestige and achievements are all due to the three-eyed fire blunderbuss equipped by the army.
As the direct successor of the Liaodong Iron Cavalry, Zhao Qiang and his Wu Army soldiers are all related to the Ning Army. Just as a certain army in later generations likes to trace the glory of the predecessor of the army, Zhao Qiang's Guanning Army pursues the Liaodong Iron Cavalry.
. No matter what the current composition of the Guan Ning Army is, no matter what political banner the current Guan Ning Army is under, they cannot cut off the blood relationship between the Guan Ning Army and the Liaodong Cavalry, Sun Chengzong, Yuan Chonghuan, and Wu Sangui.
If he wants to revive the prestige of the Liaodong cavalry, if he wants to defeat the strong with a small number and defeat the strong with the weak, Zhao Qiang must equip his cavalry division with three-eyed fire blunderbuss. However, he does not have a three-eyed fire blunderbuss and cannot make one, so
He wants to go to the capital, because if he wants to have a three-eyed firecracker or even a "meat grinder" machine gun, he must get someone, and that person is Dai Zi!
