Which dynasty in ancient China had the strongest army?

Which dynasty in ancient China had the strongest army? Sweeping Europe, conquering the Middle East, destroying gold and flattening the Southern Song Dynasty were invincible throughout the thirteenth century. Nobody is afraid of such an army. Different from the traditional nomadic army, this army not only has super personal combat effectiveness, but also has strict military discipline that Han people are good at.

1, Yue Jiajun

Yue Jiajun was an anti-Jin army led by Yue Fei in the early Southern Song Dynasty. Yue Jiajun was mainly composed of Niu Hao and Dong Xian insurgents, and then gradually incorporated Yang Yao and other peasant military departments, absorbed Liang Xing and Li Bao of Shandong Lianghe Loyalty Society, and merged into an army. Fei declared discipline and strengthened training, claiming to be "freezing to death and not tearing down houses, starving to death and not plundering". Jin nobles have the saying that "it is easy to shake the mountain, but difficult to shake the Yue family army". The troops were stationed in Ezhou (now Wuchang, Hubei Province) and Xiangyang for a long time and lived there for a long time. At the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, many soldiers fought against Jin Meng. Yue Jiajun is just a folk saying, and there is no official recognition.

There is a plot in The Legend of the Condor Heroes. Genghis Khan sighed after listening to Guo Jing's story about Yue Fei: I hate being born a hundred years earlier and fighting this hero. Nowadays, there are still many arguments between Yue Jiajun and the Mongolian army about who is weak and who is strong, because the Mongolian army is still unable to defeat the declining Jin Army quickly, and it is often difficult to fight even when the troops are absolutely dominant. However, in the face of Jin Jun in its heyday, Yue Jiajun was still able to win the battle, although his strength was not as good as that of Jin Jun.. This shows the strength of his fighting capacity. More importantly, the Mongolian army is a group of robbers, and Yue Jiajun is a righteous teacher fighting to defend his homeland. How can the Mongolian army not be defeated by justice? If Genghis Khan had been born a hundred years earlier, I believe Mongolian folk songs would also lament: it is easy to shake the mountains, but difficult to shake the Yuejia army.

2 Dahan Tiejun, Huo Qubing and Wei Qing

Wei Qing, Huo Qubing, Li Guang and Zhao Chongguo, a series of colorful names, fascinate everyone in China and make everyone in China proud. The Huns ran across Europe in those days, and the 13-country allied forces could not stop it, and the Western Roman Empire soon perished. Such a powerful army finally fell under the iron hoof of the Han army. The Han army is an army that exerts the savage spirit of nomadic people and the tactical discipline of Han people to the extreme. Severe training and excellent generals have created a strong fighting capacity of this army. Huns are called lightning whips by Europeans. What if they meet the Han army? I believe they would rather see Xiongnu than Wei's illness. The Han Dynasty existed for more than 400 years. Different from other dynasties, even at the end of its rule, its army still maintained a strong fighting capacity. This is unmatched by other dynasties.

3. Eastern Jin Dynasty and Northern Government Soldiers

In the early years of Xiaowu in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in China, Xie Xuan formed an army for training. In the second year of Taiyuan (377), due to the powerful strength of the former Qin Dynasty, the court wrote to the civil and military generals to conquer the north. The imperial court thanked General Xuan Jianwu and Yanzhou secretariat, led the Guangling army to the north of the Yangtze River, and recruited Jin Yong. People from Xu (governing Jingkou) and Yanzhou (governing Guangling) joined the army in succession. Xie Xuan joined the army with Liu Laozhi, and often led the elite troops to take the lead, winning every battle. In the fourth year of Taiyuan, Xie Xuan took the secretariat of Xuzhou, Jingkou Town. The Eastern Jin Dynasty called Jingkou a "northern government soldier", so this army was called the northern government soldier. The Battle of Feishui is the most famous battle in the ancient history of China. 870,000 border guards were defeated by 80,000 northern government troops, and the northern government troops became famous all over the world. This is an elite division composed of northern farmers who fled to the south. Everyone has a blood feud with Wuhu, and everyone takes it as their responsibility to recover the rivers and mountains. This army includes Xie An, the most famous strategist in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and Liu Laozhi, the most famous general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Can be described as the elite of the elite. Ambitious Fu Jian met such an opponent, even if there were 8.7 million troops, how could it be unbeaten? Before the war, the conference semifinals shouted to drink horses and cut whips, only to be beaten out of the water by 80 thousand Han soldiers. It is said that when the good news came, Xie An simply said, "The younger generation has broken the enemy." But when I got home, I was so excited that I broke the threshold. It's ecstasy. In fact, ecstasy is not limited to Xie An! At that moment, the glory of Feishui condensed the history of China in that century into an eternal swan song. At the moment when the good news came, perhaps all the Han people in China were in tears.

4. Tang Jun

The Han and Tang Dynasties were the two peak periods of feudal society in China, and the Tang Dynasty brought China Wushu into full play. Tang Jun is a team with Han Chinese as the main force and mixed soldiers of all ethnic groups. In its heyday, its martial arts reached as far as the Caspian Sea. The Han Dynasty fought against the Huns and won a great victory a hundred years later. The Turks in the Tang Dynasty were not weaker than the Huns, but the Tang Dynasty ruled the world in World War I, and Li Jing attacked Yinshan at night and captured the Turkic Khan alive, which is a wonder of the ages. Later, the Tang army expanded its territory, and Outer Mongolia and the Western Regions were all China territory. That is the modern people in China feudal society. Tang Jun is well equipped and has plenty of horses. Cavalry is the main way of fighting, but it is also equipped with firearms. The ability to fight hard and fight in the field is first-class. Sufficient national strength and prosperous economy provide a guarantee for the strength of this army. Tang Jun's main rival was also a powerful country at that time. Later, the Turks invaded the West and established the Turkish Empire. The Arab Empire straddled Eurasia and stood side by side with the Tang Dynasty. Tubo empire based on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, eyeing the Central Plains. But its confrontation with Tang Jun is basically more defeat than victory. The Tang Dynasty fought against the Turks for decades, and achieved a series of victories, recovering the sudden riding against the Arab Empire. A number of famous soldiers emerged in the war against Tubo in the Tang Dynasty, and every victory against Tubo was almost a devastating blow to its military strength. Even in the weak period of the Tang Dynasty, although Tubo conquered Chang 'an several times, it was still unable to enter the Central Plains. As for the Arab Empire, it was defeated by Tang Jun in several medium-sized conflicts in the early days of Tianbao. Later, he used his national strength to launch the battle of Nero. In the face of 30,000 Tang Jun, 200,000 Afghan troops are still formidable. In the end, Tang Jun was defeated only because of the internal rebellion in Tang Jun, but the losses of the Arab army were several times that of Tang Jun. It was true that although the Arabs won, Tang Jun lost. Later, even if the Anshi Rebellion broke out, Arabs dared not enter the Western Regions. Unfortunately, such a powerful army was eventually destroyed by the civil war of An Shi Rebellion. Although the Anshi Rebellion had the brilliance of the Shence Army in the Tang Dynasty, it was difficult to turn the tide in the end. Such a powerful army can only be remembered in memory.

5. Qi Jiajun in Ming Dynasty

In the thirty-eighth year of Jiajing (1559), Qi Jiajun became an army in Yiwu, Zhejiang, with a total strength of 4,000 people, mainly farmers and miners in Dongyang, Yiwu. Qijiajun, named after Qi Jiguang, was a very famous army in Ming Dynasty. Qi Jiajun is famous for its strict military discipline, professional training level, the most advanced equipment in East Asia, invincible record of more than 100,000 levels and decapitation record.

The reason why Qi Jiajun was invincible was because Qi Jiguang's thought of running the army was extremely advanced. With the most advanced weapons and equipment in East Asia, Qi Jiajun's equipment is definitely the first in East Asia and the forefront in the world. There are breeched Shenwei general guns, Franco machine guns, large-caliber cannon, as well as shotgun, Japanese knives and armor. You know, thirty years later, Japan's most powerful Samoyed Corps had 20,000 muskets, but only two light machine guns. It was not until the edo period that large-scale artillery began to appear in Japan. As a local army, Qijiajun's firearms are even as advanced as Kyoto Jishen Camp.

6. Yuan Chonghuan Ning Guan Tieqi

Ning Guan Tieqi is a cavalry unit trained by Yuan Chonghuan. Its strength is not very large, but it is quite effective. It is the most elite army in the late Ming Dynasty, which can fight against the Eight Banners Army of the Qing Dynasty (the three armies in the late Ming Dynasty: Ning Guan fighters-Sun Chengzong and Yuan Chonghuan; Pool-Sun Chuanting; God-Lu Xiangsheng). Its name was added by later generations. All the soldiers in Ning Guan used the most advanced three-eyed spear at that time, which was extremely powerful. This is a weapon that can fire three rounds of bullets. This weapon is full of thorns, so it can be used as a mace in long-range or close-range combat. Often thousands of people chase tens of thousands of people. There is an old saying in the Ming army that Nuzhen is not satisfied with anything and cannot fight, but this myth was broken by a scholar named Yuan Chonghuan. In the Ming Dynasty, the system of civil servants' mental retardation was implemented, but it happened that he was lucky enough to catch up with the rare military genius Yuan Chonghuan. In the battle of Ningyuan, 1 0,000 disabled soldiers defeated 1 300,000 Eight Banners fighters, but this was an offensive and defensive war, and many people did not agree with it. But in the battle of Ningjin, Ning Guan fighters actually defeated the Manchu Eight Banners on the battlefield. The Liaodong Army has only 70,000 people, but it has built a Ningjin defense line that makes the Manchu feel overwhelmed. Later, Manchu invaded Beijing through Mongolia, and Ning Guan soldiers came to the rescue in the starry night. Nine thousand cavalry just stopped 108,000 banners outside Beijing. Although this battle was a fluke, it was enough to reflect the powerful fighting capacity of Ning Guan soldiers. If Emperor Chongzhen chooses a candidate, it is not impossible to recover Liao in five years. Ning Guan Tieqi has a high-quality cavalry team no less than the Eight Banners of Manchu Dynasty, and firearms equipment far stronger than the Eight Banners. Most of their cavalry are equipped with dragon guns and hundreds of first-class artillery, which can be said to be both offensive and defensive. Although this army is not as good as the Manchu Eight Banners in number, if the Ming Dynasty really gives General Yuan enough time to expand the army, it will certainly temper an invincible elite. I hate that the Ming emperor destroyed the Great Wall forever.

7. Chen Qingzhi White Robe Army

Great teachers and generals should not be imprisoned, and thousands of troops and horses should avoid white robes. This well-known ballad refers to Chen Qingzhi's White Robe Army. At that time, 7,000 white-robed troops went deep into the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, from Luoxian to Luoyang, and fought 47 times before and after, capturing 32 cities and being invincible. First, Xingyang was conquered, and then Qiu Daqian was defeated and Suiyang was conquered. Then the White-robed Army became a myth. In the end, because he was outnumbered, Er Zhurong poured the troops of the whole country south, lost 70,000 troops such as Yu Yang and Yuan Xian, and defeated Yuan Tianmu with 300,000 people. From beginning to end, Chen Qingzhi's army was only 7,000 men. Although Yuan Hao was escorted to Luoyang as an emperor, the troops recruited by Yuan Hao were not enough. Chen Qingzhi has created the greatest miracle in military history, unprecedented and unprecedented. Even when Lao Mao read the Biography of Chen Qingzhi, he said: Look at this biography again and you will be fascinated by it! Although all the ancient history books are suspected of exaggerating, we can still see the strength of Chen Qingzhi's army.

8. Manchu Eight Banners

The main body of Manchu Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners is cavalry. Their ordinary soldiers are divided into cavalry, soldiers and defenders, and their salaries are decreasing in turn. Ordinary men of Manchu Eight Banners and Mongolian Eight Banners can take the exam every three years from the age of ten. Those who meet the standards are garrison soldiers and enjoy military pay. After that, they can take a promotion exam every three years, and after passing the exam, they can be promoted to a higher level, and their wages will also increase. Whether you ride a horse or not, knights, warriors and guardians are all ranks. The Eight Banners of the Han Army, also known as Wuzhen Chaoha (heavily armed), are mainly artillery. Nowadays, when people talk about the Eight Banners of Manchuria, they will think of the dude in the Beijing teahouse. However, in East Asia in the17th century, the Eight Banners of Manchuria were indeed an invincible army that ran all over the world, opposing the Ming Dynasty, calming Korea, resisting Russia and unifying China. This army can be said to be the last glory of China's ancient military. The equipment of this army is relatively poor, but its soul and morale are the best. Strict military establishment, sinister living conditions and strong viability enabled this army to finally defeat the Ming Dynasty and unify China. However, this army finally repeated the tragedy of the Mongolian army. After occupying the Central Plains, it quickly degenerated, even several times faster than the Mongolian army. By the second half of the17th century, this army had basically become a bunch of useless straw bags, and the battle with Grdan in Mongolia was basically undertaken by the green camp army of the Han nationality. It took only 20 years for the Eight Banners to become a swan song, and they could only make a living by collecting hard-core crops in Beijing teahouses every month.

9. Daqin Tiger Division

Qin Jun swept Liuhe and won the world, which is rare in the world. Qin Jun can be said to be the most ethnic army in China. Compared with private armies such as Yue Jiajun, Qin Jun can achieve brilliant achievements no matter who is in command, and the strength of his army is amazing. Qin Jun had the best military system in the world at that time, which was enough to arouse the soldiers' desire for war. Qin Jun also had the strictest military discipline in the world at that time, with a mountain of military orders. Qin Jun also had the best chariots and crossbows in the world at that time. All this makes it dominate the world. The Han army fought the Huns for nearly a hundred years, and finally the border was eased. The battle of Qin Jun Hetao was the first battle to defeat Kun, and the Huns dared not go south to herd horses for ten years. Really can't rely on heaven to compete with each other. It can be said that the military success of the Han Dynasty absorbed the advantages of Qin Jun, but if the two armies competed, Qin Jun undoubtedly gained the upper hand.

10, Mongolian warrior

Sweeping Europe, conquering the Middle East, destroying gold and flattening the Southern Song Dynasty were invincible throughout the thirteenth century. Nobody is afraid of such an army. Different from the traditional nomadic army, this army not only has super personal combat effectiveness, but also has strict military discipline and advanced weapons and equipment that Han people are good at. It can not only carry out large-scale cavalry operations, but also be equipped with the most advanced artillery at that time, with super long-range strike capability. It is really a model of the perfect combination of scientific and technological advantages and combat effectiveness. No wonder Europeans call it the "yellow peril".
