Some Allusions in "Joke Wars"

The chapter "Joker War" uses a lot of allusions. I will read out a reply from SB before. Let's take a look.

Let’s first look at the Eight Banners, Green Camp, and even when Xiang and Huai were brave enough to rise, they were all after the Second Opium War, and they were not discussed.

The Eight Banners belong to the vests of infantry combat soldiers. They are not considered as small armor. When Wulantai selected the Eight Banners to strengthen the front line of Guangxi to wipe out the Taiping Army, he once reported: "The Eight Banners are no longer accustomed to swords and spears, and there are no five bows and arrows... Only now we rely on them, only bird guns..." This is the case for the Eight Banners, and the Eight Banners in the capital. When Wulantai recruited a unit of 2,000 Guizhou soldiers from the former Qin Dingsan, the Eight Banners led by him, "only the bird guns brought by the slaves were sent to the teaching staff... The Guizhou soldiers mixed with swords and spears."

After the teaching was completed, the Eight Banners soldiers attacked Yong'an, and hundreds of Weining soldiers guarded the artillery positions. They were chased by seven Taiping soldiers with spears and short swords, and they were abandoned by more than ten large and large artillery positions, throwing into the torrent, and would rather drown than fight in hand.

The Eight Banners Horse Team, the Eight Banners Horse Team are mainly Jilin, Heilongjiang Horse Team and Mongolian Horse Team. Jilin Heilongjiang Horse Team 6,000 was once the main force of Jiangbei Camp, but it was this main force. In the hands-on battle with the Taiping Army, the wind was dispersed, and there were even "those who were not enough to escape, and kneel down and received a thief blade" of the Mongolian Horse Team was always called strong, but when the monk Wang and Shengbao were under the command of the Taiping Army Northern Expedition Army, the horse team was fought against the all-round horses of the civilians and horses of the Taiping Army.

Most of the time to wait. The magistrate of Tianjin Xie Zicheng once led a team to attack Duliumu City. The Mongolian horse team thought it was the back hall. As a result, when Xie Zicheng was stabbed to death by Taiping soldiers with a spear, hundreds of Mongolian horse teams were behind and waited and saw each other. When the Taiping army stepped forward with a spear, "…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………

What about the close combat ability of the Green Camp? As a national soldier, the fighting ability of the Green Camp is not mentioned.

Taking the Taiping Army as an example, during the battle in Guangxi, Xiang Rong Chu's army was definitely the first-class force in the green camp. However, they also claimed that "the short sword and dull spear are difficult to be a thief bandit and a rattan needle." When fighting, "the bandits are not close, they will use guns and cannons indiscriminately. When the guns are hot, they can't be released anymore. The bandits will use rattan rolls to hit me, and they will stand in a row, so they can only retreat." Therefore, Xiang Rong usually controls many reserve teams in war and pays attention to round-robin bombardment, so they generally suffer little losses, and are even called famous generals.

PS: The accurate head and lethality of the bird gun are really not very good. It is basically difficult to kill someone after thinking about it. Once, Bao Chao and Chen Yucheng fought fiercely. The head coaches of both sides were only a few hundred steps in a row. Bao Chao mobilized the entire army and gathered 200 known as "correct head spears" and blew Chen Yucheng hard, but the other person was not injured.

What about the training of the Hunan Army? It's better, but it's limited. Because Zeng and Hu were the ones who were not the most famous hand-to-hand combat fights that were famous for "attacking the civil and cannon stones with their bodies". Once, Zeng Tianyang, the "Flying General" of the Taiping Army, was riding alone and stabbed Tazibu's mount, but he accidentally missed the front and was stabbed to death. The Hunan Army emphasized building hard villages, fighting stupid battles, standing up, and hitting with cannon guns, and occasionally attacking. It was just throwing fire pots and throwing medicine bags. Very few large troops were in line with their hands and blades.

Our Qing Dynasty army had not yet evolved into firearms, but its combat concept was quite firearms. It emphasized using firearms as the main lethal force, and never advocated hand-to-hand combat.

At that time, the Western army attached unexpectedly to hand-to-hand combat. The large group of troops lined up a complete line, and there were many cases of bayonets using hand-to-hand charges. This kind of hand-to-hand charge required great discipline to restrain it. The shock to the nerves was amazing. Don’t think that foreign devils dare not fight with us. On the contrary, foreign devils believed that fighting hand-to-hand combat with us was the most cost-effective. In case of shooting, there were many artillery positions in the Qing Dynasty. Although "gunpowder is uneven particles and inferior sulfur, it has a strong smell after firing. The position of the artillery door was not opened correctly, the inner wall of the barrel was uneven, and the gun bed was the most unscientific design..." However, the casualties could not be controlled after the fight.

Generally, when the opponent's flowering bullets were endured behind the fort, the Qing Dynasty soldiers had the courage to not escape. However, as soon as they launched a decisive charge of white and blades, the Qing Dynasty soldiers collapsed. The carriages, horizontal, Haizhu and other series of forts were turned up toward Haikou, Guangzhou, and it was a pity that foreign devils used white and blades to charge, and the casualties were slightly more than we imagined. I won't talk about it here, so as not to hurt everyone's hearts. In the movies filmed by Director Xie, the Qing army generals waved their long blades and cut down six or seven opponents, which could only exist in our imagination. In addition, so many Eight Banners Green Camp soldiers in Dinghai died in the city, and they were also taken down by foreign devils by hand and blades. Two foreign devils died and 27 injured.

The Northwest Army's big swords have the advantage over the Japanese, which is also a propaganda. In the Feng Yuxiang era, the Northwest Army's big swords were twelve styles, which simplified the number of Bagua swords. But it was still complicated. The 32-year war of resistance on the Great Wall line. In fact, the 17th Army and even Shang Zhen's 32nd Army fought better than the 29th Army. However, the night attack of the Big Sword Team did have some results. When it came to real hand-to-hand combat, it was discovered that the flashy sword technique was not the opponent of the Japanese army's simple and powerful assassination technique. You can calculate it yourself. Is it a progress, with the force of waist, the distance that was cut through in the air, or the distance that was cut through in the air with the force of waist? If the bayonet enters your door, maybe it is not half swinging the knife.

In the later period when the 29th Army stabilized, Mr. Li Jinglin, a veteran of Beiyang and one of the most famous martial arts masters in the Republic of China, simplified the Northwest Army's big sword into only one move, which was to simplify it according to a move of "wrapting the head and brain" in the sword technique. During the fighting, the sword was slightly lowered under the waist, with the blade facing up and the back facing down. When the Japanese assassinated, they swung the knife to lift the rifle and chopped the head away. At 77, it is said that after using this knife instead, it was very effective in fighting.

As for the Central Army and even the warlords, the model orders are basically copied from Japan, and the assassination training is the same, it depends on the training level.

In the end, hand-to-hand combat tests determination, courage, and discipline. If both sides have the courage to fight to the death, the casualties are basically one-to-one. At the same time, hand-to-hand combat is also very short-lived, usually ending with one side's collapse.
