When it comes to the troops of the Qing Dynasty, it seems to be very far away from our society, after all, that dark feudal system, for our generation, can only get some information from books or the Internet.
So, where did nearly a million troops go after the fall of the Qing Dynasty?
For the Qing Dynasty at that time, it may have been too much to take care of itself, and like people who will die, for everything, they can only resign themselves to fate and find their own places.
But after all, this is a spoiled organization, and there are a large number of soldiers and officers loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and they will certainly not be willing to leave like this.
However, in the face of the powerful invaders' foreign artillery, they were completely beaten and scaled, and even the enemy could not get close to them, so they fell one by one, and no matter how strong the will to fight, they could not win this war.
Where they went was a matter of considering the problem of some people in the military at that time.
Some of them returned to their hometowns, picked up hoes again, planted and cut wheat, some were reorganized into Yuan Shikai's troops and joined the national army, and some became bandits.
There are some reasons for the classification of these three types of people, and most of the people who go home to farm are the children of former officials.
Because the Qing army had no battle to fight in the Qing Dynasty's closed-door policy, and was under the idea of a sense of superiority all day long, but the military salary was quite a lot, so the army became the place that many people yearned for, and those who could find relations were looking for relations, and those who could bribe bribes were bribes.
This kind of person, you said that Yuan Shikai will go home one by one, the Qing Dynasty collapsed, naturally it is to go home and cultivate the land.
The second type of people who were recruited by Yuan Shikai were precisely those able people in the military, and these talents, whether in the past or now, would be favored by Bo Le, but the time had not yet come.
The third kind of bandits is also related to the environment at that time, the world is not peaceful, everyone wants to occupy the mountain as the king, dominate the party, coupled with the Qing Dynasty's discipline of soldiers is more lazy, so most of the soldiers have some anger, so they pulled a piece of cloth and became the king of the mountain, but we all know that this is still the fate of the tragic end.
However, there was also a Qing army that lasted until the 1980s and continued to use the Great Qing Law until 1987.
Is it not mistaken that modern society incorporates the laws of feudal society? There is no mistake, this Qing Dynasty army totaled 50,000 people, and has been stationed in the Kowloon Walled City in Hong Kong, holding hong Kong with loyalty for several years.
They still lived a life with Qing Dynasty characteristics in the Kowloon City Walled City, hanging the dragon flag of the Qing Dynasty, building Qing Dynasty houses, and later hanging the Chinese flag when the country was liberated, after all, they still Chinese in their bloodline identity.
Wasn't Hong Kong ceded to Britain at that time? In fact, Hong Kong was not all ceded to the British, of which the Kowloon Walled City clearly belonged to China, and the late Qing Dynasty tried not to cede this land and garrison it, just so that there would be a forward position when it was recovered after 99 years.
Without thinking about the collapse of the Qing Dynasty, this force still remembered its mission.
Britain once used the army to occupy the Kowloon Walled City, but the residents and soldiers in the city heroically resisted, and finally they all died, so that the Kowloon Walled City was a three-way place, because in Hong Kong under british colonization, China was powerless to manage, and Britain had no right to manage, after all, it belonged to Chinese territory.
The security in the Kowloon City Walled City is quite poor, there are all kinds of illegal and criminal acts, and some people hide in the Kowloon Walled Village when they commit crimes outside, and this place has become a slum in Hong Kong.
In 1987, China and the United Kingdom jointly negotiated to tear down the walls of the Kowloon Wall, demobilize about 50,000 people in the city, and build a park in addition to some Qing Dynasty buildings, which is now a world-class tourist attraction.
The end of an era is only the end of a regime, and those sons and daughters of China who retain Chinese blood will always be Chinese, and this kind of thinking is deeply rooted and deeply rooted in the marrow, and cannot be changed at will by imperialist powers.
