Summary: At present, the situation around China has entered an "eventful autumn", with territorial disputes, emergencies and hidden contradictions bringing various pressures and challenges.
The mainland has a long history, and each dynasty has the most powerful military force of that period, and the best quality, growth potential and value of the source of troops are also different.
Compared with the dynasty with the most similar environment and the closest time span today, the Daming Empire:
The Datong soldiers can ride and shoot well, are good at forming villages, and have been enemies of Mongolia over the years, and have fought many battles.
The most famous in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was the Qi Family Army, the Yiwu soldiers from Zhejiang were smart and fierce, and again the Fujian and Sichuan pikemen were also quite powerful.
The Shaanxi soldiers endured bitter cold and hard battles, while the obedient Mongol soldiers endured hunger and thirst, were good at riding and shooting, and rushed and haunted.
As for the wolf soil soldiers in the southwest region, they are the Guangxi wolf soldiers and the Hunan Tujia soldiers, mainly from the Huguang region.
And the red seedlings of Yongshun and Baojing in Xiangxi, as well as Yaozhuang in Guangxi, are fierce and barbaric, fearless in battle, and have a strong physique and good fighting, which were the armed forces that the Ming Dynasty particularly relied on.
If time passes, in this era, which region has the strongest source of troops?
The first place is of course the three eastern provinces and Inner Mongolia, due to climate and environmental reasons, the soldiers from the northeast are tall, bloody, and impactful, and it has been a place of arrogant soldiers since ancient times, and most of the main force of the Fourth Field Army of the Liberation War were northeasterners.
The second place is the Sichuan soldiers, during the Anti-Japanese War 3 million Sichuan troops out of Sichuan, which is impressive, and the Sichuan soldiers endure hardships and stand hard work, dare to fight and fight, and have a hot temper, and they are all good soldiers.
In third place are the soldiers from the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia region, their endurance is extraordinary, they are extremely brave on the battlefield, dare to rush and fight, they seem to have spirit, and their mass base is good and sincere.
Ranked fourth is the soldiers from Hunan Province, the Xiang Army has been famous since the end of the Qing Dynasty, and many excellent generals have emerged, which continued until the Liberation War period, and a considerable number of the founding generals were from Xiang Province.
The fifth place is Henan Province, because Henan has a large population, likes to go south and north, has strong adaptability, and is relatively intelligent, so there are many soldiers with Henan accents in the army.
In addition, the sources of troops from Shandong, Anhui, Qinghai-Tibet, Yungui, and Xinjiang can also rush to fight well, and they all have good performance, and the relatively weak ones are the sources of troops in Zhejiang, Liangguang, Jiangxi, and Fujian, and the body plate is relatively weak, and the explosive power is not enough.
The quality of the source of troops according to the province is not all absolute
The ancients: "Northerners ride horses, southerners make boats", saying that northerners are good at riding and shooting, and Jiangnan people are used to making boats and water battles, but this is also divided into when to say, it is obviously out of place now.
At that time, the Red Army came to Jiangxi, recruited Jiangxi people to join the Red Army, and repeatedly beat the Kuomintang troops, even if it was later handed over to the command of the Germans, but still had good combat power.
The Red Fourth Front Army entered Sichuan and recruited a large number of Sichuan soldiers, and as a result, the local warlords in Sichuan were hanged, and later General Xu Haidong led the second-line troops in the Hubei-Yuwan region, and turned to fight thousands of miles, disrupting the northwest and stabilizing the base area in northern Shaanxi.
During the Anti-Japanese War, the Eighth Route Army recruited hundreds of thousands of North China soldiers, which became the basic force of the People's Liberation Army, which could withstand the Japanese army and crush the strength of the Kuomintang troops.
In 1945, the Eighth Route Army entered the northeast and recruited hundreds of thousands of northeast soldiers, becoming the basic force of the four fields, and as a result, it fought from the north to the south, and was invincible.
Let's mention the Ye Ting Independent Regiment in those years, in the Ye Ting Independent Regiment, the proportion of Guangdong soldiers is very high, and the results are obvious to all, which shows that whether the army can fight or not, and the relationship with the province is not too big.
epilogue
In fact, no matter how big the regional difference is, the difference between people is not obvious, only training, equipment, and will to fight are reliable.
In addition to high-quality troops, the real decisive thing is the well-trained troops with sufficient armament, food and salary.
