I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

[In China, which province has the best fighters? ]

[This question has always been a hot topic among netizens. ]

[After all, in Chinese history, there have been many powerful armies with regional characteristics. ]

[For example, the Great Qin elites from Guanzhong, the Eastern Han Yuyang Tuqidu from Hebei, and the Qingzhou Army that Cao Cao relied on to conquer the world were mostly from Shandong, and the powerful Wagang Army at the end of the Sui Dynasty was mostly from Henan. ]

[So which province has the best fighters? ]

……

The Great Qin plane.

Qin Shihuang's eyes were full of pride and confidence.

Who is the best fighter?

It must be the Guanzhong men of the Great Qin!

The Great Qin Iron Cavalry swept across the world, unified the world, and ended hundreds of years of war in China. This is the best proof!

……

The Great Tang Taizong plane.

Li Shimin also holds this view.

The peak Tang army was mainly composed of the sons of good families in Guanzhong.

When he unified the world, he also

……

[For this question, let's look at it from the perspective of historical changes. ]

[As usual, stack armor first. The examples of various provinces cited in this video are ranked in no particular order, and there is absolutely no intention to belittle or discriminate against any province. ]

……

"Start quickly."

Many ancient people in all dynasties are already waiting impatiently to see the specific content of the feature film.

……

[From the history after the Spring and Autumn Period, the people of Shaanxi are undoubtedly the first batch of the most capable fighters. ]

[The Qin State has gradually shown its strong combat effectiveness since the Spring and Autumn Period, but due to the large gap between its national strength and that of the great powers in the east, such as Jin and Qi, it has not achieved any military achievements. 】

[In the Warring States Period, after the reform and the establishment of farming and warfare as the national policy, the combat effectiveness of the Qin army gradually became stronger as the national power rose, and it won more and lost less in the wars with the eastern countries. 】

[The "Book of Han" refers to the discussion of the armies of the Warring States countries, and specifically praises the armies of Qin, Qi, and Wei: "Qi Min is strong in fighting skills, Wei Hui is brave in fighting soldiers, and Qin Zhao is victorious in fighting soldiers."]

[The same volume also quoted Xunzi's words, calling the Qin army the strongest: "Therefore, Qi's fighting skills cannot match Wei's fighting soldiers, and Wei's fighting soldiers cannot stand up to Qin's fighting soldiers."]

……

Warring States plane.

389 BC.

Wu Qi snorted coldly, feeling very dissatisfied.

What do you mean "Wei's fighting soldiers cannot stand up to Qin's fighting soldiers"?

It's just nonsense!

In the just concluded Yinjin battle, he led 50,000 Wei Wuzu to defeat 500,000 Qin troops.

Isn't it obvious who is stronger and who is weaker?

However.

What Wu Qi didn't know was that the so-called "Qin's elite soldiers" did not refer to the 500,000 Qin troops that he had just defeated.

It was the Qin elite soldiers that Qin had built with all its strength after Shang Yang's reforms and blessed with a 20-level military merit system.

The combat effectiveness of these two isThere is a world of difference.

…

Warring States plane.

293 BC.

Bai Qi looked at the huge screen in the sky, and his eyes burst with fighting spirit.

He had just led the Qin elite to annihilate 24 Han Wei coalition forces at Yique Longmen, completely clearing the way for the Qin army to advance eastward.

Among the 24 Han Wei coalition forces, there was Wei Wuzu.

However.

In Bai Qi's eyes, the so-called "Wei Wuzu" of Wei State was completely in name only.

Whether from the perspective of the leading generals or the composition of the soldiers, they were not the real "Wei Wuzu".

The "Wei Wuzu" who was carefully trained and led by Wu Qi himself was the real "Wei Wuzu"!

It was the "Wei Wuzu" that Bai Qi wanted to compete with the most!

"It's a pity that I can't fight him!"

Bai Qi sighed in his heart, feeling very regretful.

If he led the "Daqin Ruishi" to fight against the "Wei Wuzu" led by Wu Qi, then who was stronger and who was weaker could be determined?

And Bai Qi firmly believed that he would be the final winner.

Unfortunately, the timing was not right.

There is no way to really verify it.

...

[As for why the Qin army was so powerful, it was not because its physique was stronger than that of the Eastern countries, but because of the national system. 】

【“The Qin people live in poverty and make their people cruel. They use power to rob them, hide them in hardship, accustom them to rewards and celebrations, and punish them, so that the people can only seek benefits from the superiors through war.”】

【In other words, the Qin State formed a social atmosphere of starting with military merit. After more than a hundred years of accumulation, the Qin people's temperament of war and killing was solidified, and the combat effectiveness of the Qin army naturally strengthened the country. 】

……

Many ancient people nodded in agreement on the many dynasties after the Qin Dynasty.

The fact that the Qin State finally became the strongest of the seven powers in the Warring States Period and destroyed the six countries to unify the world was absolutely due to the twenty-level military merit system.

According to the people of later generations, it was this military merit system that made the Qin State a war machine.

……

【By the time of the Western Han Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the Wu soldiers was extremely strong. 】

【Wu includes the current Zhejiang, southern Jiangsu, southern Anhui, northern Jiangxi and other regions. The people here have always been strong. "The kings of Wu and Yue are all brave, so their people still like to use swords and are willing to fight." ("Han Shu Geography")】

【So much so that when King Wu Liu Bi later led the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion and fought against the central army of the Han Dynasty, the famous general Zhou Yafu had to temporarily avoid the front and use the strong city of Liang as a buffer to consume the combat effectiveness of the Wu army. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty.

Zhou Yafu was unhappy.

Why does this sound like he is afraid of the King of Wu.

He chose to retreat, just a strategic choice based on the overall situation.

He didn't care about the King of Wu at all.

What he considered was the overall situation of suppressing the rebellion.

……

[In the Eastern Han Dynasty, because of the confrontation with the northern nomadic peoples, the Hebei soldiers represented by Yuyang Tuqi began to emerge and show their bravery for a while. ]

[For example, when Emperor Guangwu of the Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu, started his army to fight against Wang Mang, he relied on the Hebei soldiers to start his business. ]

[When Yao Qi, one of the 28th Yuntai, persuaded Liu Xiu to leave Emperor Gengshi, he said: "The land of Hebei borders the border, and the people are used to fighting, and are known for their bravery." ]

[Geng Yan also said: "With the use of Yuyang and Shanggu soldiers and horses in the country, the Tuqi will be sent back to crush the mob, just like crushing dry wood and breaking rotten ears." ]

……

The plane of Emperor Guangwu of the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Liu Xiu nodded slightly.

He recognized the combat effectiveness of the Yuyang Tuqi.

This is one of the best soldiers in the world. In the process of conquering the world, this elite cavalry played a huge role.

……

[The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were the second time that Shaanxi people’s fighting power exploded, and it even lasted until the late Northern Dynasties and the early Tang Dynasty. ]

[The Yuwen Xianbei occupied Guanzhong and established the Western Wei and Northern Zhou. They were able to grow from weak to strong and eventually destroy the Northern Qi and unify the north. The strong fighting power of the army was a major factor. ]

[Although the armed forces that Yuwen Xianbei started with were from Wuchuan Xianbei in Daibei, the Xianbei people were almost slaughtered and consumed in the war at the beginning of the founding of the country. ]

[The soldiers recruited by the Western Wei and Northern Zhou were mostly the sons of wealthy families in Guanzhong and Longyou, such as the Wei, Yang, and Wang families in Guanzhong, and the Han people such as Quan, Fu, Li, and Yang in Shangluo and Hanzhong. They were all recruited into the army and became the backbone of the Northern Zhou army. ]

[The reason why the people of Guanzhong were able to fight during this period was different from the Qin State during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but because of the fierce folk customs. 】

【The Sui Dynasty Geography commented: "Striving for the benefits of the morning and evening, doing nothing, competing for the end of a needle and knife... The land is adjacent to the border, and many people value martial arts, which is also the custom." It roughly means that due to the frequent wars during the Wei and Jin Dynasties, the Han people in the Guan and Long areas also became brave. 】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin thought that the children of Guanzhong were good at fighting. In addition to the frequent wars caused by the border, there were also institutional reasons.

The military merit system of the Qin Dynasty not only made the Qin State strong, but also profoundly influenced the customs of the people in Guanzhong, making them extremely fierce.

The men in Guanzhong are not only hardworking and disciplined, but also have a good martial spirit.

They are brave and good at fighting, and they are not proud of private fights. It is an excellent source of soldiers.

……

[During the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, in addition to the powerful Guanlong soldiers of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the Northern Jin Dynasty's Northern Palace soldiers, who were mainly composed of refugees from the Jianghuai River, also burst out with amazing combat effectiveness. ]

[This so-called Jianghuai roughly corresponds to today's Anhui Province and northern Jiangsu Province, that is, the area north and south of the Huaihe River. ]

[During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, this area was a tug-of-war zone between the northern Hu regime and the southern Han regime. The local Han people suffered from the massacre of the Hu people, so they rose up to resist. Over time, their combat experience gradually accumulated. ]

……

See here.

Many ancient people from all dynasties sighed. (To read the exciting novels, go to Fulu Novel Network!)

In that chaotic era, the Han people were really miserable and were slaughtered by the Hu people.

Thinking of this.

Many ancient people remembered Ran Min who issued the "Kill the Hu Order".

Perhaps this person issued this order out of selfishness, but no matter what, in this matter, objectively speaking, this person has made contributions.

……[]

The plane of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao snorted coldly:

"Waste!"

He was scolding Sima Yi's Sima family.

What are the Hu people? How can they show off their power in the Central Plains?

Look at it now. Even if the various parties in the Central Plains are fighting for hegemony and it has become a mess, the Hu people outside the Great Wall dare not come in.

I didn't expect that decades after the Sima family attempted to usurp the throne, the Hu people dared to invade the Central Plains and massacre the Han people.

This is enough to prove how useless the Sima family is.

Fortunately, in this life, there is a magical giant screen in front of him that reveals the secrets, and he was able to see through the Sima family's conspiracy in advance.

So, everything can change.

The Sima family will definitely be uprooted by him!

A fierce look flashed in Cao Cao's eyes.

……

【Later, the pressure caused by the Hu people became greater and greater, and a large number of Han people became refugees and went south to join the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Men of insight such as Xi Jian and Xie An consciously recruited them as soldiers and trained them, thus training the Northern Army that was famous in the Jin and Song dynasties. 】

【At the turn of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Liu Song Dynasty, the Northern Army eliminated the uprisings of Sun En, Lu Xun, and Xu Daofu, the separatist regime of Qiao Zong in Shu, and quelled the "Three Rebellions in Jingzhou". 】

【Externally, it created a great victory of Feishui, where 80,000 people defeated 800,000 enemy troops, and also swallowed up the Southern Yan and the Later Qin, and defeated the Northern Wei cavalry. 】

……

"80,000 people defeated 800,000?!"

Many ancient people were extremely shocked in the many dynasties before the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

With a ten-fold difference in military strength, it was not a battle to defend the city, but they could still win. It was really amazing.

Based on this record, the Northern Army can be regarded as the strongest army in the world.

……

【The Northern Army is extremely good at fighting with fewer troops. 】

[Regardless of whether they are in an advantageous position at the strategic and campaign level, they have repeatedly defeated the enemy with a small number of troops at the battle level. 】

0 Ask for flowers

[Its combat effectiveness is very rare in the past dynasties. 】

Barrage flew out:

"The Northern Palace Army is indeed powerful. If we were to select the strongest army in ancient China, the Northern Palace Army would definitely be on the list."

"Reply - That's inevitable. I've seen any selection of the ten most powerful armies in ancient Chinese history, or nine armies, or eight armies, and the Northern Palace Army is definitely on the list."

"Reply - I don't know which army is the strongest?"

"Reply - Everyone has their own opinions, and there is no unified one's standard, and there is no way to make these armies fight each other? "

"Reply--It would be very interesting if they could really compete with each other."

"Reply--I choose Qi's army because they have firearms."

"Reply--Then the Shenjiying also has firearms."

"Reply--The firearms at that time were not so strong and could not play a role in dominating the outcome."

"..."

Looking at these barrages of comments on the sky screen, many ancient people from all dynasties had their own ideas.

Warring States plane.

Wu Qi: "The strongest army in ancient China? It must be Wei Wuzu!"

Daqin plane.

Qin Shihuang: "The strongest must be my Daqin Ruishi!"

The plane of the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

Cao Cao: "My Tiger and Leopard Cavalry should be the leader! ”

Tang Taizong plane.

Li Shimin: "My Black Armor Cavalry is undoubtedly the strongest army in history!"

Southern Song plane.

Yue Fei: "This strongest position, Beiwei Army is the best!"

More dynasties planes.

More people: ...

In the thousands of years of ancient Chinese history, many powerful armies have emerged, all of which have radiated brilliant light in their respective eras.

And the founders or commanders of these armies all firmly believe that their armies are the strongest.

In addition.

In many dynasties planes, there are many ancient people who express their opinions and say which army is the strongest army in ancient China in their hearts?

……

[During the Southern Dynasties, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers of Jingxiang and Lingnan was also praised under certain historical conditions. ]

[The scope of Jingxiang is roughly equivalent to the current Hubei Province. ]

[Because it is located at the northwest border of the southern regime, it has been fighting with the north for many years, so its combat effectiveness has been well trained. Its people often practice archery and horse riding, and its combat effectiveness is the best among the southern states. ]

[The basic military force of the Liang Dynasty established by Emperor Wu of Liang, Xiao Yan, came from Xiangyang . 】

【Later, at the end of the Liang Dynasty, Emperor Yuan of Liang, Xiao Yi, pacified Hou Jing's rebellion in the east, attacked Xiao Ji in Shu in the west, and annexed the three kings of the Xiao family. The soldiers of Jingzhou under his command were extremely resistant to hard fighting, and they recovered after many defeats, which made them highly valued by people at that time. 】

……

Many ancient people from all dynasties saw this and discovered one thing:

That is, generally speaking, the more frequent the wars, the better the people are at fighting.

On the one hand, it is the need for survival that forces people to be strong, and on the other hand, the more wars they fight, will become experienced.

……

[Lingnan soldiers, that is, Guangdong soldiers. ]

[When Hou Jing rebelled, Chen Baxian led the Nanjiang heroes from Lingnan all the way north, with a force of about 50,000, and fought against Wang Sengbian's army in Jingzhou, and jointly eliminated Hou Jing's rebellious army. ]

[Later, Chen Baxian led the Lingnan soldiers to attack and kill Wang Sengbian, openly breaking with the Northern Qi, and in the battle of Xuanwu Lake, annihilated nearly 100,000 Northern Qi troops. ]

[This battle not only made LingnanThe reputation of the Southern Soldiers also helped the Han regime in the Southern Dynasties to continue its national fortune for another thirty years, which should not be underestimated. 】

……

Many ancient people in the Central Plains were quite shocked by the many dynasties in the Northern and Southern Dynasties.

They had never thought that the Lingnan soldiers could be so fierce.

Because Lingnan was a remote place in ancient China, the Central Plains did not know much about it.

They were not very familiar with the local people and customs.

This was the first time they heard about the relevant achievements of the Lingnan soldiers, so they were a little shocked.

……

【At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Henan people, who had been unknown for a long time, suddenly broke out with powerful combat effectiveness, represented by the Wagang Army. 】

【Henan has been repeatedly separated and turbulent since the Yongjia Rebellion, and many people have been displaced and have been trapped in the disaster of war for a long time. 】

【Later Zhao and Jin general Zu Ti fought for Henan, Northern Wei and Liu Song fought repeatedly in Henan, until Zhou Qi divided the east and west, Luoyang, Xingyang, and Lushan became the front line, and Nanyang in the southwest and Yiyang in the southeast were the front lines of the war between the north and the south, so the customs of the people in Yuzhou became increasingly brave and warlike. 】

【Therefore, the "Geographical Records of Sui Shu" pointed out: "Since the three parties have been in a tripartite situation, they are located in the border areas, where soldiers and horses gather, and they have lost their old customs." 】

【Less than 40 years after Zhou and Sui unified the north, the whole country fell into chaos again, and the bravery accumulated in Henan for more than 300 years rose up. 】

【Therefore, although the great uprising at the end of the Sui Dynasty started in Shandong, it reached its peak in Henan. 】

[Zu Junyan, a great talent during the Sui and Tang dynasties, boasted about the might of the Wagang Army in his edict to attack Emperor Yang of Sui: "One million troops form a brigade, four or seven are named, with a breath, the Yellow River and the Wei River stop flowing, and with a shout, the Song and Hua Rivers are pulled out. With this attack, no city will not fall; with this attack, no battle formation will not be destroyed!". 】

[The Wagang Army was extremely powerful and conquered most of Henan and western Shandong. The uprisings in various places all pushed Wagang to be the leader. 】

[There were many brave generals in the army, such as Xu Shiji, Qin Qiong, Cheng Zhijie, etc., all of whom made great contributions to the world. Yu].
