Head of a Fishing Village in the Late Ming Dynasty

No matter how good the flintlock gun is, it cannot replace the rifle bow. The matchlock gun has several shortcomings that cannot be solved: firstly, it is unstable and the matchlock is easily affected; secondly, it is complicated to operate; thirdly, it cannot be positioned densely. This is the most terrible thing. Although the flintlock gun is not very good in terms of accuracy and shooting efficiency, it can allow infantry to stand densely to increase the firepower density, so that the killing efficiency of infantry firearms against the enemy is greatly improved.

In the late Ming Dynasty, the official army had many cannons. The authentic Qi family army was also destroyed by cannons. How could a thousand official troops attack a village without cannons? Still have to pay attention.

At first I thought you were going to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Huguang and Fujian, but then you settled down in Huai'an. Now I feel like you are always causing trouble. I think in the early stage, you should cause less trouble and build more. Spend more pen and ink writing about construction, don't just brush it off in one stroke. Farming in the early stage and fighting for hegemony in the later stage, building high walls and accumulating grain, right?

The purpose of this book is to truly reflect the true combat effectiveness of all forces in the late Ming Dynasty. For example, the Ming Dynasty's official army was already very weak in combat effectiveness. The court could hardly guarantee military pay, military rations, and ordnance, and was in a state of bankruptcy and collapse in combat effectiveness. Chen Xinjia, Minister of the Ministry of War, remonstrated with Emperor Chongzhen more than once: The emperor only has one property, and if it is destroyed, it will be gone. This set of assets refers to Sun Chuanting's Qin army, and perhaps Guan Ning's army. The other armies were completely vulnerable. This was the situation when the Qing army went south, with hundreds of thousands and hundreds of thousands of troops surrendering. However, after these surrendered Ming armies were incorporated, they had many achievements in attacking other Ming armies that persisted in resisting, such as Li Chengdong. The combat effectiveness is so weak that it is like this. The only ones who can still fight are the personal retainers compiled and trained by generals at all levels. They can sometimes compete with the elite Eight Banners soldiers, but their scale is extremely small and it is difficult to form a mass advantage. Therefore, in the late Ming Dynasty, especially in the Jiangnan area, the officers and soldiers brought out muskets and artillery at every turn, which is purely conjecture. As for bows and arrows, by the Jiajing and Wanli years, there were almost no soldiers in the Jiangnan Guards who could shoot hard bows. During routine drills, the bows and arrows used were soft bows with no lethality. This can be seen in Tan Lun's article. This is also the reason why Qi Jiguang directly used muskets instead of training archers.

Support! The story is very interesting~

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, taxes could not be collected well, so how could we impose a sea ban? Do we have the ability to enforce it? If the grassroots level is ruined, what policy enforcement capability is left? No matter how good the policy is, what's the use if it can't be implemented?

Although, the illustrations discouraged me.

In Xuzhou, there have been more than 50 large-scale conquests in the past dynasties. It is difficult to discuss the rights and wrongs.

Nice introduction. See first to respect!

Because I was listening to it while driving, I didn't pay attention to whether there were illustrations. However, the illustrations at least show that the author put his heart into writing. In other words, sometimes too much care may not achieve the desired effect. For example, many people's view of history is not so relaxed and cartoonish. I have read a lot of online novels, or listened to a lot, so there must be some good books that I have missed, but if I miss them, I miss them, because the beginning of the book did not attract me, that's all. So I think a smart book must have an attractive beginning. It's the threshold of a book. It's hard to predict what will happen next in this book, but the beginning still attracted me.

It looks pretty good. Keep it up, author.

The introduction is good. If there is no brainless harem, I am ready to pursue it
