Individual bravery and genius command are meaningless in the face of absolute technical hierarchy. 【Reading.com】

Let's take Guan Yu and Guan Yunchang, whom Zhang Xianzhong admires the most, as an example. In his heyday, Guan Yunchang held an eighty-two pound Daguan knife. No matter how powerful he is, no matter how great he is, no matter how much he is like a god, he faces a teenage black African child with an AK47, and he can't escape being thrown to the ground by a shuttle.

If we open our minds and think about it together, we can come to the conclusion that the more advanced the weapons of war, the more equal human beings seem to be.

After all, the more in an era of low levels of productivity, the more people can achieve oppression and plunder of others by mastering weapons. However, the more developed the level of productive forces and the higher the level of development of weapons, the more the human world will develop towards a state of peace.

The most direct proof is that in modern society, it is impossible for a few hundred Western invaders to wipe out a nation with arquebuses.

Facts tell us that the lower the level of productive forces and the lower the level of weapons, the more wars there will be in human society, and the larger and longer the scale and duration of wars.

Before nuclear weapons were invented, humanity went through two world wars. However, after the invention of nuclear weapons, world war was basically suppressed to the greatest extent under the deterrence of nuclear weapons that could threaten the existence of all mankind and the entire earth.

Here's another example that is not very appropriate. In the modern United States, because everyone can own a gun, there are various school shootings and public shootings in the United States. However, if the American people had a nuclear egg, perhaps American society would be much more peaceful.

In the words of a relatively literate youth, the real equality of all people only exists in the face of death. And the weapon is the scythe in the hands of the Grim Reaper.

Wang Shuhui may be able to face the battlefield with some sour air in his head. But Zhang Xianzhong didn't have such a good life. What he had to face was a complete and unquestionable military defeat.

Although the artillery of the Fuxing Army was amazingly powerful, the real killing of the cannon to Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry troops was around 300 people. This is also because Zhang Xianzhong and his cavalry did not understand the range and power of the cannons of the Fuxing Army, and the hedgehogs were gathered within the range of the cannons of the Fuxing Army.

However, this shelling, which caused hundreds of casualties among Zhang Xianzhong's core troops, unexpectedly collapsed Zhang Xianzhong's core troops.

It is different from the people who were wrapped up by Zhang Xianzhong as cannon fodder after hearing the huge explosion behind them, running in the direction of the position of the revival army in fear and despair, and looking as if they were charging. Zhang Xianzhong's core troops fled to the rear after the collapse because of the pressure behind the formation.

These cavalry teams composed of bandits and fugitive frontier soldiers who barely controlled their horses in horror and panic have quite rich battlefield experience. In the face of a strong enemy, in the face of defeat, these experienced cavalry are very strategic and decisive.

Although everyone was dazed by the shelling of the Baath Army, no one knew what was happening. But to escape from this terrible place immediately is a common understanding. After they tried hard to control the frantic war horse, they immediately controlled the war horse and ran desperately in the opposite direction of the Baath Army's position.

We have all explained that it is not a good thing for an officer to support his own family, but when a soldier has no loyalty to the government and the army has no faith, this kind of thing is indeed a thing that cannot be done. Just as modern warlords need loyal troops to protect themselves from enemy bullets and their own black guns, officers in the late Ming Dynasty must also pay attention to their lives on the battlefield.

Think about it, as the main component of the Ming official army, there is not enough food and clothing, military salaries and materials have to be endlessly deducted and floated by officers and civilian officials, and they have to accept the beating and torture of officers at every turn, and the soldiers with extremely low social status, if they don't have advanced rifles, as soon as such soldiers go to the battlefield, they will be like the soldiers of the modern warlord army, and the first thing is to find an opportunity to hit the black guns of the officials on their side.

The eyes of the masses of the people are bright. The soldiers all know that in today's Ming Dynasty, there is corruption and spending money on officials, and below is endless plundering and torture of the common people. Isn't it a joke that such a court, such a government, wants to gain the support of the people and the loyalty of the soldiers!

Therefore, the officers of the Ming Dynasty army knew that as long as it was in a war, once their side lost, they didn't want to expect the soldiers to protect and take care of them. From the perspective of battlefield survival, they must be responsible for the safety of their own lives, spend a lot of money and effort, and maintain a costly team of family members by their side to protect their own safety.

The reason why Wu Sangui, a famous figure in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and a famous man in history, was able to stage a drama of celibacy to save his father back then, was not because the Wu family, as the general of Liaodong, spent a lot of effort to raise a large number of loyal family members. Otherwise, you let Wu Sangui's lump of 100 catties of fat be alone on the battlefield. The Tartars shot him through with a single arrow.

Zhang Xianzhong began to raise troops in 1624, and it has taken about three years to get a decent cavalry, which is really quite lucky.

In modern terms, there is a world of difference between the hanging silk turtle and the rich and handsome. Those rich and handsome people who were born in wealthy families have money and materials, and they can buy elite soldiers to become family members to protect their own safety. However, Zhang Xianzhong, who was born in the hanging turtle, has been tossing for three years, because of the long-term wandering battle, there is no base and logistics supply, and he still has almost no money.

Don't look at the peasant army, it seems to be quite majestic when it passes through the state and county. In fact, their prestige can only be reflected in ordinary people. The landlords and gentry who were really rich and well-fed were either in a well-defended city, or they had built forts in the countryside with strong defenses and thick walls.

This kind of landlord compound in the countryside is the same as paper paste for the Baxing Army, but for the peasant army, this kind of fortress is actually very difficult to break. It's not that they don't have the ability to break through these fortresses. The point is, because this kind of small fortress with hundreds of people killed and wounded dozens of people is very uneconomical for the peasant army. Moreover, once the battle is delayed, the officers and soldiers who hear the news will also cause them a lot of trouble.

So most of the time, as long as these landlord compounds give the rebel army some food and silver, the rebel army will not attack these landlord compounds.

In fact, just as most of the revolutionary parties in the late Qing Dynasty were composed of landlords and hooligans. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, these big landlords themselves were all part-time bandits and bandits. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, many small peasant rebel army leaders were even born as generations of slaves of these large landlord families.

Because Zhang Xianzhong did not have enough money and materials, he had no way to effectively buy his subordinates to serve him to the greatest extent. So after the great rout, Zhang Xianzhong's cavalry only cared about their own lives and ran wildly. As for the situation of Zhang Xianzhong, their leader, no one cares at all.

In fact, Zhang Xianzhong, who abandoned his horse early and fled to the bushes on both sides of the road, escaped with his life because of his choice.

Unbeknownst to the fleeing cavalry, the Baath Army had already set up a line of death lines consisting of barbed wire and Gatling guns on their way back
