Everyone knows that in the history of China has experienced a long period of feudal dynasty era, and the Qing Dynasty as the closest to China's modern feudal dynasty, we can say that it is very familiar, the late Qing government is corrupt, directly led to the demise of the Qing Dynasty, but the Qing Dynasty in the face of foreign invasion, in fact, there is a war force, at least we have the advantage in numbers is still very obvious, the Qing government at that time as many as 1 million troops, but the Qing government blindly gave in, in addition to the combat equipment is not as good as others, It soon collapsed, but after the fall of the Qing government, where did the army of more than 1 million go?
Each dynasty has its own army, which is the most basic guarantee against foreign enemies, the Qing government at the beginning is actually still very powerful, especially the Eight Flags Green Camp, it is the regular army of the Qing government, the combat effectiveness is very strong, the core army of the Qing government, but with the development of the Qing government, more and more corrupt officials, gradually infiltrated into the Eight Flags Green Camp, and later their strength also declined a lot, usually scattered training, there is no previous tiger and wolf division style.
After that, the Qing government began to cut the Eight Banners Green Camp, Zeng Guofan formed a very powerful army in this context, this army was the later Xiang Army, and Li Hongzhang also recruited more than 6,000 people in his hometown and formed the Huai Army, these two units were later famous troops, and the Eight Banners Green Battalion at this time also became a logistics force-like existence, and the late Qing government could mobilize these three troops, with millions of people.
However, after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, these three armies fought for each other and began a situation of warlord division, but of course, in addition to them there were many Qing troops hidden, Hong Kong at that time there was a place called Kowloon City Walled, where a large number of descendants of the Qing Army were hidden, they still retained a lot of feudal cultural customs, and finally discovered by the British government in Hong Kong in 1992, did not expect the Qing Dynasty to fall for so long, there are still so many descendants of the Qing Dynasty here, what do you think about it?
