Although these weapons have long been outdated in Europe, in the Manchu Empire, compared with the improved arquebuses and red-coated cannons, they are still quite advanced, at least they can narrow the generation gap with the Han army......

It's not that the Russian Empire doesn't want to provide more advanced weapons, it's just that the scientific research strength of the Russian Empire is at the bottom of the European continent, and the front-loading smoothbore cannon and flintlock pistol are already the best equipment that Tsarist Russia can come up with......

As for the rear-loading rifled guns and rear-loading guns, Tsarist Russia has only just begun to develop them, and the samples have not yet been taken out......

Emperor Qianlong naturally understood the ambitions of the Tsarist Empire, but the ambitions of the Tsarist Empire were at most to swallow a large piece of territory, while the Han army wanted to overthrow its own old bottom!

The two are relatively lighter, and Emperor Qianlong naturally chose to cooperate with the Tsarist Russian Empire!

After the Qianlong Emperor signed a military alliance treaty with the envoys of the Tsarist Empire, the hardcover flintlock samples and front-loading smoothbore guns were immediately sent to the Ordnance Bureau in Taiyuan, Shanxi, and the Russian military craftsmen who accompanied them guided the craftsmen of the Manchu Empire to imitate this weapon!

The cavalry of the Eight Banners Army was slaughtered in front of the Maxin heavy machine gun, and Emperor Qianlong naturally saw that the things of the ancestors of archery and horse riding have long been outdated, and he plans to comprehensively learn from the Han army and Russian allies to create a new army unit with pure firearms!

The construction of flintlock pistols and front-loading smoothbore guns was not difficult, and with the guidance of Russian craftsmen, the Manchu Empire quickly copied these weapons, and as long as it lasted a little longer, the Qianlong Emperor was able to equip the new army with full firearms!

As for the problem that these firearms lagged behind the Han army, Emperor Qianlong could no longer take care of it, at least, the troops using firearms were stronger than archers and horses......

As for the issue of betraying national interests, Emperor Qianlong has already let go, and in his heart, what he can't get, then smash it and no one can think of it!

In such a crisis situation, Emperor Qianlong not only let go of all interests to cooperate with the Tsarist Empire, but also summoned all his ministers, intending to make a desperate bet and delegate the firmly controlled military power to the hands of Hanchen!

Although the Han army under the banner of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Han Dynasty has a natural Han support rate, the Han Empire from overseas also has a fatal flaw, that is, their weak foundation in the land of China is ruthless!

Zhao Dutian's secret service that has been infiltrating for decades has only mastered the gangsters under the land of China, and he belongs to the kind that can't be put on the table, and the heroes of the Manchu Empire are not the hooligans and gangsters who the secret service can compete with with money!

This is also the reason why all the halls of the secret service have to rely on the Manchu government to survive, those green forest heroes who have real kung fu are not a problem to fight a dozen junior brothers of the secret service!

The local gentry of the Manchu Empire had an inextricable relationship with those heroes of the green forest, and even many martial arts halls themselves relied on the support of the gentry!

These local snakes in the land of China are the real local dark forces!

The reason why the Han army did not encounter the obstruction of these local snakes was mainly because the secret service did a good job of pacifying, coupled with the fact that the Manchu Empire had extremely restricted the rights of the Han Chen, and the local gentry felt that whoever came to power in the two families was the same for them!

What Emperor Qianlong wanted to break was this wait-and-see balance of the local gentry!

What Zhao Dutian wants is a unified centralized system, even if he defeats the Chinese country, it is impossible to give too much power to the local gentry, otherwise, in the future, conscription and taxation will be scraped off a large layer by the local gentry!

Why did a certain party on the earth in later generations want to remove the gentry class completely, not for the sake of population and land?

Therefore, there is actually a basic contradiction between the Han army and the local gentry!

Being able to maintain this kind of neutrality is already the limit of the Han army's restraint, and if there is a deeper cooperation, the Han Empire is likely to be fully infiltrated by these local snakes!

Don't look at the gentry class to fight, but they all play officialdom and interpersonal relations very slippery, if the Han army really opens its mouth to cooperate with the gentry class, it won't take a few years, Zhao Dutian wants to move the local gentry again, but it will hurt the capital!

Therefore, the Han army has only maintained the neutrality of the local gentry, and has not paid too much attention to and allowed them to take refuge in their initiative!

Emperor Qianlong naturally knew this, although he didn't know Zhao Dutian's ambitions, it did not prevent him from delegating power to the local gentry!

Now the Manchu Empire is at an all-round disadvantage, and if you don't hurry up everything and fight hard, you won't have a chance to fight hard!

The rural group exercises, and the orders of the Han ministers, spread from Taiyuan, Shanxi to the entire land of China!

Emperor Qianlong completely abandoned the restraint on the Han people, and the legitimacy of official documents and laws gave the green light to the local gentry!

Generally speaking, as long as the local gentry have money and are willing to follow the Han army, they can expand the army at will and organize regimental training.

Of course, the imperial court only gave permission, but there was no money and food supply, and after losing the Jiangnan tax, the Manchu court was already stretched thin to form a new army, but there was no money to supply the regimental training!

Emperor Qianlong took advantage of the ambitions of the rich Han gentry!

How could the Han gentry, who had prestige in the local area, suddenly have the opportunity to build their own army and practice, and were personally promised a good future by the Manchu emperor?

This is a chance to ascend to heaven in one step, much greater than the chance of ascending to heaven in the imperial examination!

Besides, as long as there is military power in hand, the imperial court will have to think twice before doing it, after all, this is not a group training of one or two families, but the entire Central Plains has been let go!

In order to save money and food, Emperor Qianlong did not spend money on regimental training, and at the same time, a large number of useless and repeatedly defected green battalion troops of the Han army, except for a few elite green battalions, all were disbanded!

Even if there is no supply of money and food from the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Green Camp is a big money-consuming household, Emperor Qianlong can re-establish a group of Eight Banners New Army dominated by the children of the banner people!

There are also many poor people among the banner people, and the Han army is digging their hardcore crop foundation, and the enthusiasm for joining the army to fight is still quite high!

Among the millions of banner people, tens of thousands of poor ghosts are singled out, which is more than enough!

In this way, when the Han army consolidated the coastal occupation areas and trained the new Han army, the Manchu Empire ruled by Emperor Qianlong recklessly opened the national group training mode, and began to form a pure firearms New Army of the Eight Banners with the cut green battalion salary!
