In 1900, when the Guangxu Emperor was in power, eight countries led by Britain, the United States, France, Germany, Russia, Japan, Italy, and Austria-Hungary launched a war of aggression against our country, and the United Nations army composed of eight countries reached a total of 50,000 people, well-equipped and well-trained, and did everything evil everywhere they went, plundering countless treasures of our country and bringing serious losses to our country. The trigger for this war originated from the Boxer Rebellion, when due to the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War and the signing of the "Maguan Treaty" with Japan, the Western powers began to covet the "fat meat" of our country. With the deepening of the national crisis, the people's awareness of struggle gradually rose, and the Boxer Rebellion broke out. The Eight-Power Coalition launched a war against our country on the pretext of suppressing the Boxers.
At that time, the Qing government was worried about internal and external troubles, politically decayed and faint, and its military strength was weakened, and the Eight Banner Army, which was brave and good at war in the past, had long lost its combat effectiveness, and millions of Qing troops were unable to fight. In 1901, China signed the "Xinugu Treaty", which not only bore huge reparations, but also completely reduced our country to a semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, bringing great disasters to the country and the people.
At the beginning of the 20th century, the Qing army achieved a partial modernization of weapons, and even some weapons were superior to the coalition forces, but most of the Qing army was greedy for life and afraid of death, weak and incompetent, coupled with the fact that the generals at that time took the lead in escaping, which led to the inability of most soldiers to resist. Then, if the Qing army was replaced by the Qin army, which was brave and good at war, would there be a different result?
Let's first look at the main equipment of the Eight-Power Alliance at that time, when the equipment of the Allied Forces was mainly in line with the characteristics of modern warfare, which would allow shooters or soldiers to hide behind buildings or barriers to shoot, and wait for the right time to conduct close combat. The military training and combat literacy of the allied soldiers were relatively high, and the equipment was relatively advanced, and the Qing army was timid and cowardly, and did not dare to fight with the coalition forces, resulting in defeat.
If replaced by the Qin army, we assume that the Qin army still uses combat weapons in the Warring States era, soldiers wear armor, holding knives, guns, swords and other weapons, mainly using infantry, cavalry combat, in this way, even if the Qin army is brave in combat, it will become the target of the coalition shooting, although wearing armor, it will still cause a lot of damage.
Then there is no possibility of victory for the Qin army? Yes and no, it depends on how the Qin Army applies. Most people think that the victory of the Qin army is based on soldiers on the battlefield hand-to-hand combat, in fact, it is not, the tactics of the Qin army are very famous, when the Qin army in the first fire confrontation with the coalition army, found that it can not gain the advantage, it can use tactics to ambush, give up the opportunity to confront the enemy army, in the process can absorb the weapons and equipment of the coalition army, in a reasonable tactical arrangement, may be able to cause greater casualties to the enemy army, but it will also fail, but it will not fail so tragically.
