The demise of the Qing Dynasty has the historical inertia of China in it
The foundation of a dynasty's existence is the existence and vitality of its main force.
The main task of an empire is to resist external humiliation and quell internal rebellions.
There were two main forces in the Qing Dynasty: one was destroyed by the Taiping Army's Jiangnan camp; the other was the Mongolian cavalry led by Seng Gelinqin, the latter was also destroyed by the Nian Army.
The Qing Dynasty cannot rely on its own strength to maintain its survival; it is like an empire that has lost the value of existence!
In Chinese history, the demise and decline of dynasties had to rely on private individuals. Maintain your own existence!
Ming Dynasty was like this in the past. His main force was consumed in constant rebellion, and the carefully armed Guanning cavalry became the vanguard of Qing Ming; the small court of Nanming had to rely on the army to maintain the Qinhuai line of defense. In the end, because of the soldiers' mutiny, they made a counterattack!
The demise of the Qing Dynasty has its historical inertia!
The establishment of the new army in the late Qing Dynasty had to rely on the support of the Huai army system
During the Opium War, the decay of the Eight Banners and the Green Camp was exposed and lost its significance as the main force. Therefore, the emperor of the Qing dynasty ordered the governors of the provinces to select personnel from them to retrain an army, which can be called "training army"!
However, in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement and the Nian Army Uprising, the peasant army's powerful field capability not only defeated the main force of the Qing Dynasty, but also the regular army in the hands of the local governor was not an enemy at all!
If the above army is a regular army that the Qing Dynasty may directly use, then the Hunan army The growth of the Huai Army completely broke away from this track.
Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and others have become members of the party with the continuous growth of the Hunan Army and the Huai Army! They used their power to support the development of the two armies.
After Zeng Guofan abolished the Hunan Army, the only force the Qing Dynasty could rely on was the Huai Army.
The people of the Huaijun system occupied all levels of the defense force of the Qing Dynasty!
The Qing Dynasty had to rely on people who were born in the Huai army system to prepare and train the new army.
Why did the Northern Army of the Qing Dynasty end the reign of the Qing Dynasty not da1a#935#4 The Beiyang Army ended the rule of the Qing Dynasty; it was Yuan Shikai who ended the rule of the Qing Dynasty!
Yuan Shikai can influence the Beiyang Army, but he cannot directly lead the Beiyang Army to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. Through the efforts of Cixi and Zaifeng, the court deprived Yuan Shikai of his official position and military power, and he no longer had a legal name to lead the Beiyang Army.
The reason why Yuan Shikai was able to lead the Beiyang Army to overthrow the Qing Dynasty was that he was the prime minister of the Qing Dynasty!
The Hunan Army and the Huai Army are private mercenaries! Yuan Shikai, born in the Huai Army system,The guidance for the Beiyang Army also mixed similar characteristics. However, as the standing army of the modern country, the Beiyang Army, although they belong to different factions, is basically the Beiyang Army of the Qing Dynasty!
Losing military power over the Beiyang Army, Yuan Shikai can only influence what they do and cannot tell them what to do!
Of course, the Beiyang Army of the Qing Dynasty was the main force. If it could not suppress the Revolutionary Party with all its strength, the Qing Dynasty could not deal with the Revolutionary Party by its own strength. After all, the main force of the Revolutionary Party was the new army!
