Being an enemy of the world, Cixi's courage stems from the numbness of the people. A great event happened in Gengzi, and Lafayette Cixi suddenly declared war on the world powers-the first case in the world. Applause! ! ! Then ... then Eight-Nation Alliance rubbed the Qing Empire on the ground for three months until Beijing fell. Looking at history when I was a child, I still remember the teacher laughing at Cixi's overreaching: "The primitive army with broadswords and spears fought against the modern army with rifles and cannons equipped by the great powers, but the Qing court was not incompetent, but stupid." At that time, I thought what the teacher said was very reasonable. Later, I learned that during World War II, I almost laughed when I thought of Polish cavalry charging German tanks. In my impression, because Poles, like Cixi, were leaders of the Second Yuan at that time-they regarded the military war as a funny drama. I even once seriously suspected that Cixi was really crazy? No matter who gave her courage, how could a big knife and a long hair defeat rifles and cannons? After so many years of reform and opening up ... sorry, the westernization movement has been going on for so many years, and there has been no progress at all. After comparing the strength of both sides, they were instantly beaten in the face. So much so, I think that if I were Cixi, without the courage of Fish Leong, I would dare to declare war on the powers. Why do I have such confidence? Because I always think that China has been in a state of "weapons substitution" in modern wars, and China's army has been in the era of cold weapons, which is far from the powerful countries with advanced weapons in modern times. But seeing that Cixi has these cards, I think she can be more horizontal: Eight-Nation Alliance's attack route is to land in Tianjin and then go north to Beijing. This attack route is hardly a secret. In Dagukou, Tianjin, it is generally believed that the Qing court had the strength to repel the enemy and let Eight-Nation Alliance bypass Shandong, so it could not reach the gate of Beijing quickly, because in Dagukou, the Qing court prepared a series of "surprises" for Eight-Nation Alliance: Surprise 1: In terms of combat effectiveness, almost no fleet in the world had a winning rate against land-based artillery batteries at that time, because the power of the artillery shells was too small to bombard the artillery batteries. So at that time, the Qing court wanted to attack ships with batteries, which taught the allies a big lesson. Surprise 2: The water level of Dagukou is too low, so large warships can't get close to the attack area, and they will run aground when they enter the range. As a result, although the allied forces dispatched more than 30 ships of various types, only 10 can participate in the attack, which greatly eased the defensive pressure of Dagukou. Surprise 3: There are 3,000 officers and men of the Qing army in the entire Dagukou defensive position. Do you know the number of guns of various calibers on the position? 170 doors, and the ammunition is extremely sufficient. In the process of attacking each other, the battery occupies an absolute advantage. Surprise 4: At that time, the Qing court also bought four German torpedo boats. Wadesi had a special headache about this before, because this torpedo boat was made in Germany, and he knew the power of torpedo boats too well. Prior to this, he repeatedly warned countries not to get too close to the battery, and beware of the rapid maneuvering of torpedo boats, thus sinking ships of various countries. This also makes the allied warships unable to give full play to their power, because they have to be on guard against the attack of torpedo boats at any time. These four accidents really shocked the allied forces, because nine allied ships were injured right after the fighting, and two of them almost quit the fighting. When the allied forces were at their wits' end ... it can only be said that it was getting dark, and a shell hit the ammunition depot, causing a chain reaction, and two ammunition depots exploded one after another. Suddenly the morale of the army was in chaos, and Dagukou was so meaningless. We can say that it was an accident. After all, the war has just begun. Maybe we can learn something later? Eight-Nation Alliance's occupation of Dagukou met with little resistance, because a large number of troops gathered in Beijing on their own initiative to defend the capital. After the fall of Tientsin, Eight-Nation Alliance opened the armory and found that the equipment of the Qing army was far superior to his own, which shocked Vadexi, commander-in-chief of Eight-Nation Alliance as a German marshal. He used to think that Beijing was difficult to conquer. The list of Tianjin Arsenal is true. Besides Wu Weijun (Yuan Shikai's right army is in Shandong), there are other types of troops near Beijing, with more than 1 10000 soldiers. From Dagukou and Tianjin armory, it can be seen that the military strength of Beijing defenders was almost the strongest in China at that time, because most soldiers were baptized by war and received systematic training from German instructors. The military strength of Wu Weijun, which is guarding Beijing, is not worse than that of Eight-Nation Alliance as a whole. In fact, the army of the Qing court was almost defeated in World War I, and I still don't understand it. What does this "defeat in World War I" mean? Did you run away? No, no matter the number of people, military equipment or even military literacy, Nie Shicheng, the so-called most capable officer at that time, lost in the end, and there is no suspense in losing-it's like a professional boxer breaking into a primary school. There are more soldiers than Eight-Nation Alliance; Weapons are more advanced than the G8; Defend but fail to attack; Can't do it at home but outside; Looking back at the Korean War, we can see that the gap between our army and the United Nations army is definitely much larger than that between the Qing army and Eight-Nation Alliance, but our army won the war with obvious "weapons instead of differences". So where did the Qing army lose? These pictures should be very illustrative. Give the trench to Eight-Nation Alliance, and help those who besieged the city in Eight-Nation Alliance to do this, so that the Qing Dynasty will not perish! The Qing army lost at the starting line-national consciousness! Manchu could never face up to such a large-scale Han people, because the upper class aristocrats were always worried about repeating the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty. What can they do? Is to make people numb, is to make people ignorant, is to make people fear and fear. So through 200 years' efforts, the Manchu government did it. What do you think this war has to do with yourself? This is a conflict between foreigners and the empress dowager. Even during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, everyone thought it was a conflict between the Taiping Army and Empress Dowager Cixi. This has nothing to do with themselves. It doesn't matter what the concept of country is. Everyone has to pay taxes anyway. What does it matter? This is what the Manchu government has always wanted-the people feel from the bottom of their hearts that whoever will rule will do. Why do they have to fight against the Qing Dynasty and regain their sight? So they are very successful, but people are insensitive. Not only do they think Manchu rule is ok, but foreigners can also rule. And it seems that they are more willing to carry ammunition for Eight-Nation Alliance, because Eight-Nation Alliance will really pay. This just appeared, the Qing army was at war with Eight-Nation Alliance, and the people were watching the wonders in the distance. If you think this is just the bottom people, because they have no education, then you are all wet. 1894- 1895 During the Sino-Japanese War of 1895, after the Beiyang Navy was defeated in the Battle of Ahava, all the remaining ships of Beiyang Navy were incorporated by the Japanese army. At that time, someone wrote to the Japanese fleet, demanding the release of the cruiser "Guang C", on the grounds that Guang C belonged to the Guangdong Navy, and this campaign had nothing to do with Guangdong. Do you dare to believe that this is the real historical data of the Qing Dynasty? During the Republic of China, some people were particularly ridiculous, shouting national indifference, including Lu Xun who saw the word "cannibalism". Then I will only blame these insensitive poor people: come and see! Seeing these compatriots have no "physiological reaction" to seeing ugly women and no "physiological reaction" to seeing beautiful women. Our compatriots are too incompetent. This is the result of "Jianggang culture", which is "national inferiority" and "the poison of feudal culture", and then they make a scene and look miserable. Nonsense, because these people don't realize that their compatriots who made them "angry" and "sad" have been given * * * by the Manchu government? And very thorough! How can they have a "physiological reaction" is the root of numbness, not because they are numb. Otherwise, why preaching and teaching is the cheapest and most powerful national defense line of a country? Because the people didn't consciously, didn't know who to fight for, and didn't know why to fight, the Qing army was rubbed on the ground as a result when all the indicators were better than Eight-Nation Alliance's. Therefore, in addition to military equipment, the war is more important to the soldiers' beliefs. Losing so badly? I just want to say one word to Manchu: "It's time!" "
