Dozens of red cannons in the Qing army have to besiege and starve to death? The battle of Yaksa was due to the small Russian army

When China and Russia signed the Nerchinsk Treaty, the Chinese representative Soeto's brows stretched out, and the Russian representative also showed a long-lost smile. . In this treaty, Waixing'anling was assigned to Russia, and the boundary of this Waixing'anling was also blurred. We will not discuss the Qing court’s unprofessionalism on the border of the treaty. Here we will only talk about the more important second battle of Yaxa. In fact, the victory of the Qing army in this battle was not as simple as written in the history books. See how obvious the gap between China and foreign countries is at this time. And all of this, with the victory of the two battles of Yaksa, was ignored by the Qing Dynasty.

The battle of Yaksa was divided into two. For the first time, the Qing army, led by the commander Peng Chun, used a red cannon to destroy the wooden castle built by the Russian army in Yaksa and finally won. In this battle, the Russian army has 450 men and 300 matchlocks. After that, the Qing army demolished the castle of Yaksa and withdrew. However, the Russian army can be regarded as desperate. In the same year, that is, in the summer of 1685, he returned to Yaquesa to build. This time, the Russian army can also be considered to have gained a bit of wisdom. A brand new, civil and wood mixed structure castle stands up again in Yaksa.

Subsequently, Sabsu was appointed as the general of Heilongjiang, responsible for theCommand of the war. Speaking of the battle of Yaksa this time, I really felt "ashamed" for the Qing army. The Qing army, which claimed to have 50% firearm equipment rate, still fought with swords and spears in this battle. Among them, less than 100 guns are equipped. In this battle, the Qing army dispatched 3,000 people. If it weren’t for Peng Chun’s suggestion that “if you want to take the city of Yaksa, you must be unbreakable with red cannons,” it is estimated that the Qing army that appeared in front of the Russian army would not be much better than the natives in the Daxinganling Mountains.

Compared with the Qing army, the Russian army has more than 800 soldiers in this battle. Since the mid-17th century, a large number of wheeled flintlocks appeared in the army. In this battle, the Russian army was equipped with 850 flintlocks and 100 matchlocks. Of course, it is not who has more guns, but who has more guns. The Qing army was equipped with a large number of Hongyi cannons, but even so, the Qing army still relied on a large number to besiege the city. Why is this? The blame is that the Qing army misplaced the science and technology tree. In the Qing army's science and technology tree, the artillery developed towards light artillery. The Qing army, who "riding and shooting is the root of Manchuria", was not very keen on the city war itself. For the firearms equipment, a large number of them were also given to the Han army. Because the fire guns that were defeated by the Manchu cavalry were inferior to the Manchus. At this time, the Qing army's red cannons were mostly 6-pounders. Not long ago, in Zheng Chenggong's battle to conquer Taiwan, most of the Ming Army’s artillery was 18-pounder, even with 24-pounder. In the final general offensive, the Ming army’s artillery fired the Dutch mentally. After 7 months of siege, such shelling will force you to surrender. In the battle of Yaksa, it was fortunate that Kangxi had already stored food supplies for three years. Otherwise, the Qing army who had been besieging the city for ten months would have made plans because of the lack of food and grass.

We should thank Russia, because the battle between Russia and the Qing army is really a novice compared to the Netherlands and Zheng Chenggong Pecking each other. However, we should also blame the Russian cuisine. Because the Northeast is too far from the core area of ​​Russia, the regular Russian army did not participate in the war. If you can see the real combat effectiveness of the Russian army, I think the beaten Qing army will pay more attention to weapon upgrades. The seeds of the Opium War will not be planted at this moment.
