New Army Exercises: a Study of the Early Forms of China's Modern Military Exercises
by Peng Hechao
About This Novel
Hui Cao, also known as "Autumn Cao" and "Da Cao", refers to modern military exercises. This book takes the New Army Parade as the research object, but it is not limited to the case study of the four military exercises in Hejian, Zhangde, Taihu, and Yongping. Instead, it places it in the process of China's modern military transformation for investigation and evaluation. The book makes full use of historical materials such as archives, anthologies, diaries, notes, newspapers and periodicals, especially the ancient books collected by the Institute of Modern History of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and the archives of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, the Peking University Library, the National Library of China, and Japanese history collected by the "Asian Historical Materials Center". The data not only outlines the development of China's modern military exercises from a macro perspective, but also reveals three early military exercise forms from a micro perspective, including review exercises, training exercises and autumn general exercises, and then evaluates the effectiveness, problems and institutional impact of the New Army Exercises. This book not only helps to expand the existing research horizons of the New Army, and further expands and deepens the research on military reforms during the New Deal period in the late Qing Dynasty; it can also make up for the shortcomings of previous academic circles that ignored the early history of China's modern military exercises, and enrich the research on China's modern military history from one aspect.
