Those who learn from me will die, this is Zhang Qiang's evaluation of Hong Chengchou and their study of the establishment of the Huaxia Army.

Just look at their compilation.

With 320,000 troops, 20 towns were organized, which is more than 220,000 troops.

One of the towns has 11,000 people, plus 2,000 people from the Qing army's generals, almost more than 260,000 people, and the remaining 60,000 people are organized into a Mongolian cavalry town of 10,000 people, a cavalry town of 8,000 people under the banner of the Han army, a cavalry town with 8,000 people in the green battalion, and a huge logistics town of 20,000 people, and thirteen patrol battalions of 2,000 people, which are responsible for guarding the towns in various places, mainly defending the city and assisting in the collection of taxes in various places, and protecting the mansions and manors of the squires.

That's 52,000 troops.

The remaining 8,000 plus the remaining 12,000 soldiers who fled back last time, a total of 20,000 people were still the green battalion of the Qing army, the banner of the Han army, and were sent to the seaside and the bank of the river, garrisoning various ferries, checking the merchant travel, and preventing the Chinese army from crossing the river to attack them.

The 11,000 people in a town were specifically organized into five battalions, and the Qing army always liked to use battalions to manage troops.

There were more than 2,000 men in each battalion, two battalions of firearms, 4,000 men, a cavalry battalion of 2,000 men, a pikemen battalion of 2,000 men, an archery and crossbow battalion of 2,000 men, and the remaining 1,000 men were the personal troops of the commanders of each battalion, and each personal army was 250 men.

Among them, the commanders of the firearms battalion are all Manchurians, or Han army banner generals who are very loyal to them and have been slaves for more than ten years, and only a small part of the firearms battalion are officers and soldiers of the green battalion, or Ming generals who have surrendered.

The firearms battalion is a musket battalion and an artillery battalion.

In this way, the strength of the patrol battalions guarding the river bank and guarding various places, and the strength of the logistics town, in fact, the strength of the Qing army that could be used for the attack was 280,000 people.

Although it is several times more than the total number of troops that can be used by the Huaxia Army, the musket they use is said to be a copy of the Jingai-1 arquebus of the Huaxia Army.

The imitation arquebus, in terms of quality and range, could only reach 70 to 80 percent of the arquebuses of the Huaxia Army.

In terms of quality, it is not as durable as the Huaxia Army's Jingai 1 arquebus, and the barrel must be wiped with a damp cloth for every 1o shot, otherwise it is unbearable to use, while the Huaxia Army's Jingai 1 arquebus can shoot 30 shots in a row and only need to be cold for a while, so it can continue to be used slowly.

Perhaps, in fact, on the battlefield, especially in the field, a soldier who can't fire so many guns will either die, or have to charge, or fight with the enemy's cold-armed infantry, or retreat to the rear and let the pikemen, sword and shield soldiers fight, but if he can fire a few more shots than the enemy, he will definitely have a better chance of winning.

In terms of range, gunpowder is still black powder, they have not obtained the manufacturing technology of granular black powder of the Huaxia Army, so the range is still inferior to the range of the arquebus made by the Huaxia Army, about 150 steps, can only reach a distance of more than 80 steps, that is, it is equivalent to more than 40 meters to 623 meters on the shooting, this is still equivalent to the range of their bow and arrow, maybe not as good as the bow and arrow, the Qing army is a good bow and arrow, the range can reach 75 meters to 85 meters, which is almost equivalent to the range of Jin Gai 1.

But in the face of continuous firepower, when the sword and shield soldiers protected each other, the bows and arrows of the Qing army still could not cause fatal damage to the Huaxia army, and the casualties were definitely there, but not too big.

In terms of power, due to the development of granular gunpowder of black powder, the Jingai 1 not only has the same range as the Qing army's heavy bow and arrow, but also can break the enemy's armor, no matter how many layers of armor the Qing army puts on their bodies, it is impossible not to be killed.

The bows and arrows of the Qing army hit the armor worn by the soldiers of the Huaxia Army, and only three or four percent of them would penetrate the armor in the weak places, or directly cause damage to the weak, unprotected parts such as the middle door, and the others were bounced off.

This is the reason why the Huaxia army was able to resist the shooting of the Qing army's bow and arrow, and continued to attack the enemy with arquebuses.

After all, the strength of the Qing army is small, which means that the Manchurian soldiers, the kind of veterans, can pull out such a heavy bow and arrow, and there will not be too many Manchurian veterans who shoot arrows into the camp of the Chinese army, and the Chinese army spends most of its combat time and uses inferior weapons and equipment, and only relies on the number of green battalion soldiers to fight, some are Han army flags, but the bows and arrows of the Han army flag will not be so powerful or not so many skilled veterans, most of them are transformed from serfs, and the Qing army will not equip them with good weapons.

Another point in intelligence is that the Qing army, which is accustomed to bows and arrows, swords and other weapons, is not very happy with the training and use of firearms, and many people are perfunctory, just building a shelf.

And didn't train seriously.

According to the intelligence, the morale of the Qing army was not high, and most of them were strong men who were forcibly pulled over, either farmers or defeated soldiers, or strong men who had no intention of fighting and just wanted to eat enough and other soldiers of the original Ming Dynasty.

The main advantage of the Qing army is that there are many soldiers, and they are equipped with muskets and artillery that are not easy to explode, and those that imitate the Jinhua Righteous Army are no, they are the low-generation weapons of the Huaxia Army.

And now Zhang Qiang has eliminated all the Jingai-1 rifles in the army and replaced them with militia units, and increased the number of arquebusiers to the garrison troops, adding hundreds of arquebusiers, plus a few three-pounder guns, so that the garrison is equivalent to the level of the Huaxia Army before the war with the Qing army of 600,000.

This is how the Huaxia Army continued to improve, and then constantly adjusted the military system, gave the eliminated weapons and equipment to the troops below, improved the combat effectiveness of the troops, and improved the level of the troops.

After having territory and strength, they joined the cavalry and scouts, and reorganized the army, so that the army was more regular, and there were more troops who had seen blood.

Then, there were more veterans, and the various units were rapidly expanded, and some young and strong people were gathered, and there were more militiamen who could fight.

After a few victories and more captures, all the weapons and armor were replaced, and the troops had veterans of the Ming army who had fought in the war to participate, and after the re-regulation and adjustment, at this time it was already equivalent to the combat effectiveness level of the troops of the Liukou or the local garrison of the Ming army.

After that, the strength is better than that of the Ming army, equipped with captured Qing army shotguns, Ming army guns, artillery, combat effectiveness can completely defeat the Ming army, and some of the Qing army's green battalion troops, the same strength, or some troops, can defeat the Qing army's green battalion.

Then, with the passage of time, the number of firearms troops increased, and the troops were further developed to the regular, and they were able to reach the combat effectiveness of the Han army banner, and the Jinhua Righteous Army had actually become the elite combat unit of the Ming army.

After several battles with the Qing army, the combat effectiveness was comparable to that of a group of Qing troops, and the Jinhua Righteous Army was already a regular local armed elite soldier of the Ming army.

When the Jinhua Righteous Army was restructured, it had completely produced the combat effectiveness of the most elite troops of the Qing Army and marched towards the era of firearms. At this time, even if twice the Qing army troops came over, the Jinhua Righteous Army was already able to resist and even win.

It became the Huaxia Army, annihilated two groups of pirates, calculated the Longwu regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty, calculated the treasure island of Zheng Chenggong, and calculated King Lu, the Huaxia Army had at least thrown off the strength of the Qing army for twenty or thirty years.

Now, Zhang Qiang dares to say that the Huaxia Army has been behind the Qing Army for half a century, and the Qing Army cannot defeat the Huaxia Army if it changes, because they are half a century behind the Huaxia Army and cannot catch up.

Not enough to be afraid.
