The capacity of middle school history textbooks is limited, and it is impossible to include every figure and every incident in Chinese history, but if the Guangxi wolf soldiers have not been mentioned in real history, it is obviously impossible, otherwise where do you know about the Guangxi wolf soldiers? Relying on word of mouth from older generations? Therefore, it can only be said that the Guangxi wolf soldiers have few records in history.
So why are there so few records of such a strong Guangxi wolf soldier?
Guangxi wolf soldiers originated in the Ming Dynasty, is formed by the local Zhuang tusi local armed forces, since the Ming Dynasty in the orthodox years to achieve great results in the recruitment of wolf soldiers, the requisition of Guangxi wolf soldiers has become a later practice, and Guangxi wolf soldiers have indeed achieved many achievements, Yuan Chonghuan once defeated Nurhaci 130,000 troops with 10,000 wolf soldiers.
Until the modern Republic of China period, the Seventh Army that came out of Guangxi was also called the Steel Army, and some people called it the Wolf Soldier.
There must be a reason why such a brave army has not been known in history.
First, Guangxi sent wolf soldiers, but Guangxi lacked famous generals.
It is said that a thousand armies are easy to get and difficult to find, and if a unit wants to be famous, itself is disciplined, and being able to fight is one of the points, but having a general with outstanding ability is the most important thing, because when an army is publicized as an example, the best propaganda object is naturally the person with the highest merit, that is, the commander of this army, because everyone has heroism.
Therefore, like the Qi family army in history, the Yue family army can be passed down through the ages, a large part of the reason is caused by the aura of Qi Jiguang and Yue Fei, of course, this is not to deny the merits of the soldiers in it, after all, there is no strong army, the general can not win every battle, play such a high prestige.
Although the Guangxi wolf soldiers are strong in combat, there are really few generals who can be counted, taking the Ming Dynasty's great victory over Nurhaci, the leader is Yuan Chonghuan, and Yuan Chonghuan is a Guangdong person.
Although there were Gui generals such as Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi during the Republic of China period, in addition to the heroism on the anti-Japanese battlefield, the actions of the warlords during the melee period were really difficult to be publicized as heroes.
Similarly, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period, although the generals of the Taiping Army had good records, because the final outcome of the Taiping Army at that time was to fail, and the orthodox ruler was still the Qing court, the series of Guangxi generals of the Taiping Army were also not recorded too much, and naturally, the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers would not be mentioned too much.
Second, there have been meritorious deeds, and the merits and demerits have been offset.
Although the Guangxi wolf soldiers have always been brave and fierce to kill the enemy and make countless contributions, because the Guangxi wolf soldiers are generally not ordered by the officials dispatched by the central authorities, they only obey the commanders they recognize, and because the generals are ineffective in command and some problems of popular customs, military discipline is not particularly good.
Especially when fighting abroad, there are also many acts of looting and harming the people, so that the people in other provinces are afraid of wolf soldiers more than thieves, also known as Guangxi monkey soldiers, ape soldiers, etc. Because strict military discipline, treating the people well, and so on can be said to be the most fundamental policy of successive rulers, it is not possible to do so, and it is necessary to publicize it in this way, as a propagandized unit, it is natural to meet this minimum condition, and because the Guangxi wolf soldiers have their own disgraceful side, the history books naturally do not mention the Guangxi wolf soldiers excessively.
Another important point is that if you want to be publicized by future generations, your position must also be correct, guangxi wolf soldiers were originally founded to suppress the internal minority uprisings, and were used by feudal rulers as guns to "fight civil wars" as local ace troops, which have certain "historical stains" and original sins, and are not suitable for high-profile propaganda.
Finally, from the Ming Dynasty to the Republic of China period, Guangxi people also rose to the high-level leadership group that had risen to the center of central rule, and there was no one in the DPRK, so naturally this degree of official recognition and propaganda and beautification could not keep up.
It cannot be denied that the Guangxi wolf soldiers are powerful, but it has to be said that many parts of our country have produced strong armies, such as the Gan Army, the Sichuan Army, and the Xiang Army, and their performance in the history of domestic and foreign wars can be said to be no worse than that of the Guangxi Wolf Soldiers.
So we don't have to dwell too much on the Guangxi wolf soldiers and not be mentioned too much in the history books, because every place has soldiers who can fight.
The history books should record more of the major events in the torrent of history, or the great reformers, innovators, pioneers, and some major events that could change the environment at that time in this thousands of years of history and bravely pioneered and sought the well-being of the people.
As for whether you can fight or not, as long as you have not subverted an old dynasty and established a new dynasty, then in history, you have not been recorded too much, it is perfectly normal, the winner of the prince and the loser of the Kou, this theory is also common here.
