I. Qin Jun
Qin Jun swept Liuhe and won the world, which is rare in the world. Qin Jun can be said to be the most ethnic army in China. Compared with private armies such as Yue Jiajun, Qin Jun can achieve brilliant achievements no matter who is in command, and the strength of his army is amazing.
Qin Jun had the best military system in the world at that time, which was enough to arouse the soldiers' desire for war. Qin Jun also had the strictest military discipline in the world at that time, with a mountain of military orders. Qin Jun also had the best chariots and crossbows in the world at that time. All this makes it dominate the world.
The Han army fought the Huns for nearly a hundred years, and finally the border was eased. The battle of Qin Jun Hetao was the first battle to defeat Kun, and the Huns dared not go south to herd horses for ten years. Really can't rely on heaven to compete with each other. It can be said that the military success of the Han Dynasty absorbed the advantages of Qin Jun, but if the two armies competed, Qin Jun undoubtedly gained the upper hand.
Second, Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Guang and Zhao Chongguo, a series of brilliant names, fascinate everyone in China and make everyone in China proud. The Huns ran across Europe in those days, and the 13-country allied forces could not stop it, and the Western Roman Empire soon perished.
Such a powerful army finally fell under the iron hoof of the Han army. The Han army is an army that exerts the savage spirit of nomadic people and the tactical discipline of Han people to the extreme. Severe training and excellent generals have created a strong fighting capacity of this army.
Huns are called lightning whips by Europeans. What if they meet the Han army? I believe they would rather see Xiongnu than Wei's illness.
The Han Dynasty existed for more than 400 years. Different from other dynasties, even at the end of its rule, its army still maintained a strong fighting capacity. This is unmatched by other dynasties.
Third, the northern government forces
In the early years of Xiaowu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China, Xie Xuan formed an army for training. In the second year of Taiyuan (377), due to the powerful strength of the former Qin Dynasty, the court wrote to the civil and military generals to conquer the north.
The imperial court thanked General Xuan Jianwu and Yanzhou secretariat, led the Guangling army to the north of the Yangtze River, and recruited Jin Yong. People from Xu (governing Jingkou) and Yanzhou (governing Guangling) joined the army in succession.
Xie Xuan joined the army with Liu Laozhi, and often led the elite troops to take the lead, winning every battle. In the fourth year of Taiyuan, Xie Xuan took the secretariat of Xuzhou, Jingkou Town. The Eastern Jin Dynasty called Jingkou a "northern government soldier", so this army was called the northern government soldier.
The Battle of Feishui is one of the most famous battles in the ancient history of China. 870,000 border guards were defeated by 80,000 northern government troops, and the northern government troops became famous.
Fourth, the White Robe Army
Great teachers and generals should not be imprisoned, and thousands of troops and horses should avoid white robes. This well-known ballad refers to Chen Qingzhi's White Robe Army.
At that time, 7,000 white-robed troops went deep into the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, from Luoxian to Luoyang, and fought 47 times before and after, capturing 32 cities and being invincible.
First, Xingyang was conquered, and then Qiu Daqi780,000 was defeated and Suiyang was conquered. Then the White-robed Army became a myth. In the end, because he was outnumbered, Er Zhurong poured the troops of the whole country south, lost 70,000 troops such as Yu Yang and Yuan Xian, and defeated Yuan Tianmu with 300,000 people.
From beginning to end, Chen Qingzhi's army was only 7,000 men. Although Yuan Hao was escorted to Luoyang as an emperor, the troops recruited by Yuan Hao were not enough. Chen Qingzhi has created the greatest miracle in military history, unprecedented and unprecedented. Even when Lao Mao read the Biography of Chen Qingzhi, he said: Look at this biography again and you will be fascinated by it! Although all ancient history books are suspected of exaggerating, we can still see the strength of Chen Qingzhi's army.
? Five, the Tang Dynasty Han Jun and the Tang Dynasty were the two peak periods of feudal society in China, and the Tang Dynasty carried forward China Wushu. Tang Jun is a team with Han Chinese as the main force and mixed soldiers of all ethnic groups. In its heyday, its martial arts reached as far as the Caspian Sea.
The Han Dynasty fought against the Huns and won a great victory a hundred years later. The Turks in the Tang Dynasty were not weaker than the Huns, but the Tang Dynasty ruled the world in World War I, and Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night and captured the Turkic Khan alive, which is a wonder of the ages. Later, the Tang army expanded its territory, and Outer Mongolia and the Western Regions were all China territory.
That is the modern people in China feudal society. Tang Jun is well equipped and has plenty of horses. Cavalry is the main way of fighting, but it is also equipped with firearms. Both hard-hitting ability and field ability are very good. Sufficient national strength and prosperous economy provide a guarantee for the strength of this army.
Tang Jun's main rival was also a powerful country at that time. Later, the Turks invaded the West and established the Turkish Empire. The Arab Empire straddled Eurasia and stood side by side with the Tang Dynasty. Tubo empire based on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, eyeing the Central Plains. But its confrontation with Tang Jun is basically more defeat than victory. The Tang Dynasty fought against the Turks for decades, and achieved a series of victories, recovering the sudden riding against the Arab Empire.
6. Yue Jiajun Yue Jiajun was an anti-gold army led by Yue Fei in the early Southern Song Dynasty. Yue Jiajun was mainly composed of Niu Hao and Dong Xian insurgents, and then gradually incorporated Yang Yao and other peasant military departments, absorbed Liang Xing and Li Bao of Shandong Lianghe Loyalty Society, and merged into an army.
Fei declared discipline and strengthened training, claiming to be "freezing to death and not tearing down houses, starving to death and not plundering". Jin nobles have the saying that "it is easy to shake the mountain, but difficult to shake the Yue family army". The troops were stationed in Ezhou (now Wuchang, Hubei Province) and Xiangyang for a long time and lived there for a long time. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, many soldiers fought against Jin Meng. Yue Jiajun is just a folk saying, and there is no official recognition.
Seven, Mongolian soldiers
Sweeping Europe, conquering the Middle East, destroying gold and flattening the Southern Song Dynasty were invincible throughout the thirteenth century.
Nobody is afraid of such an army.
Different from the traditional nomadic army, this army not only has super personal combat effectiveness, but also has strict military discipline and advanced weapons and equipment that Han people are good at. It can not only carry out large-scale cavalry operations, but also be equipped with the most advanced artillery at that time, with super long-range strike capability.
Super personal combat power. Based on the advanced military concept, Temujin's "key breakthrough" tactics were very advanced at that time, which could fight both frontal and attrition wars. With the Mongolian horse with good endurance, it was unmatched in Asia and Europe.
It is really a model of combining scientific and technological advantages with combat effectiveness. No wonder Europeans call it the "yellow peril".
Eight, Ming navy division
Ming navy, also known as Daming navy, was the first navy in China, which originated from Chaohu navy, one of the two main forces under Zhu Yuanzhang at the end of Yuan Dynasty.
In the heyday of the Ming Dynasty, there were 3,800 ships, including 1.350 patrol boats and 1.350 warships, as well as 400 large ships and 400 grain carriers stationed in Nanjing Xinjiangkou Base, of which 250 were ocean-going treasure ships, in addition, there were a large number of warning and law enforcement ships to protect the ocean and patrol rivers.
From the battle of Zhu Yuanzhang crossing the river at the end of Yuan Dynasty, the Poyang Lake water war to Zheng Chenggong's recovery of Taiwan Province Province, the Ming navy was founded for nearly 300 years, but unfortunately, the ancient military of China was always based on land war instead of water war, and the glory of the Ming navy was thus submerged.
In fact, the Ming navy was indeed the strongest and largest fleet in the ancient history of China and even in the ancient history of the world. As we all know, Zheng He's brilliant voyage to the Western Ocean captured his king alive in the battle of Sri Lanka, which greatly enhanced China's national prestige. Later, the Ming Dynasty's coastal defense was empty, but after Qi Jiguang's rectification, the Ming Dynasty navy regained its fighting capacity.
/kloc-in the 6th century, Portuguese colonists came from the east and wanted to turn Guangdong into their colony, but the Ming navy dealt them a heavy blow in Panyu naval battle, which made them give up this foolish idea and make friends with China.
/kloc-At the end of 0/6, Japan launched a war of aggression against the DPRK, and Daming Navy annihilated the Japanese fleet in the naval battle in Lvliang. Even in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, which was extremely corrupt, Daming Navy fought two battles in Penghu. /kloc-in the 7th century, the imperial navy began to decline, but the semi-official Zheng Zhilong's navy defeated the Dutch navy in Asia, and Zheng Chenggong, who inherited this force, recovered Taiwan Province Province at the end of/kloc-in the 7th century.
Nine, Qi Jiajun
In the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing (1559), Qi Jiajun became an army in Yiwu, Zhejiang, with a total strength of 4,000 people, mainly farmers and miners in Dongyang, Yiwu. Qijiajun, named after Qi Jiguang, was a very famous army in Ming Dynasty. Qi Jiajun is famous for its strict military discipline, professional training level, the most advanced equipment in East Asia, invincible record of more than 100,000 levels and decapitation record.
The reason why Qi Jiajun was invincible was because Qi Jiguang's thought of running the army was extremely advanced. With the most advanced weapons and equipment in East Asia, Qi Jiajun's equipment is definitely the first in East Asia and the forefront in the world. There are breeched Shenwei general guns, Franco machine guns, large-caliber cannon, as well as shotgun, Japanese knives and armor.
Ten, Manchu Eight Banners
The main body of Manchu Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners is cavalry. Their ordinary soldiers are divided into cavalry, soldiers and defenders, and their salaries are decreasing in turn.
Ordinary men of Manchu Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners can take the exam every three years from the age of ten. Those who meet the standards are garrison soldiers and enjoy military pay. After that, they can take a promotion exam every three years, and after passing the exam, they can be promoted to a higher level, and their wages will also increase. Whether you ride a horse or not, knights, warriors and guardians are all ranks. The Eight Banners of the Han Army, also known as Wuzhen Chaoha (heavily armed), are mainly artillery.
When people talk about the Eight Banners of Manchuria, they always think of the dude in the Beijing teahouse. However, in East Asia in the17th century, Manchu Eight Banners was indeed an invincible army to fight the Ming Dynasty, pacify Korea, resist Russia and unify China. This army can be said to be the last glory of China's ancient military.
With the support of the rulers, this army is well equipped. The firearms equipment rate once surpassed that of the Ming army and became the strongest musket, artillery and cavalry corps in Asia. At the same time, its fighting spirit and morale are excellent. Strict military establishment, sinister living conditions and strong viability enabled this army to finally defeat the Ming Dynasty and unify China.
However, this army finally repeated the tragedy of the Mongolian army. After occupying the Central Plains, it quickly degenerated, even several times faster than the Mongolian army. By the second half of the17th century, this army had basically become a bunch of useless straw bags, and the battle with Grdan in Mongolia was basically undertaken by the green camp army of the Han nationality. It took only 20 years for the Eight Banners to become a swan song, and they could only make a living by collecting hard-core crops in Beijing teahouses every month.
