In fact, the gunpowder weapons used in the late Qing Dynasty were more advanced than those used in the Ming Dynasty. It is nonsense to say that there were no firearms in Qing dynasty, which belongs to the type of failing junior high school history.

It is always said that the Qing Dynasty was defeated by foreigners. This statement is actually the first time that the Qing dynasty failed to face up to its fundamental problems and put forward the statement of shirking responsibility. Facts have also proved that even though the Qing Dynasty used the most advanced weapons at that time, it was still diarrhea to fight foreigners.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a large number of advanced weapons and warships were purchased and foreigners were hired to build forts. However, when facing the Japanese army whose weapons were behind the Qing army at that time, it was easy to be defeated by others. (According to records, many Japanese troops were very desperate when they saw the advanced fortifications of the Qing army before launching the attack, thinking that they would die, but in fact they won the first world war ...)

To put it bluntly, there was something wrong with the system at that time in the Qing dynasty, and it was impossible to use strong ships and strong guns.
