In the chapter, someone asked Lu Xiangsheng and asked Sun Chengzong's military ability, to the effect that they were not named generals.

First of all, what is the standard of the name?

I will not compare the ancient figures with the modern era, I compare them with the other countries of the same era and the extraordinary military of other civilizations.

I say that I have the real name of the seventeenth century, the king of Sweden, Gustav Adolf II.His death was from December 9, 1594 to November 6, 1632, and coincided with the end of the Ming Dynasty.

I will enumerate the exploits of Gustav II, and we shall see why he was the father of modern warfare.

First, compulsory military service is introduced and a standing army is established.In the past, mercenaries were often used in wars in Europe.After Gustav II, it changed completely.

Second, rectify military discipline and establish a sense of honor among the military.Let the army transform from a complex of hooligans, beggars, merchants, and villains into a disciplined force.

Third, the integration of a large number of muskets in the infantry, reducing the size of the spears, improve the mobility and fire of the infantry.

Fourth, the artillery was improved and an independent artillery unit was established.

Fifth, the training of cavalry.

Sixth, the Gustav Crossing was created, allowing infantry, artillery, and cavalry to work together.

Seventh, the establishment of professional engineering and logistics units.

Eighth, specialized military training.

The above eight, whether it is the Ming or the full Qing at the end of the day, which of the generals did it?

Not one!

Many of the generals of the Ming Dynasty were hereditary, and they did not receive professional military training at all.The civil war is even more self-inflicted, even if it is the famous Sun Chengzong, is also arranged by his own imagination.

War is a very serious matter, and a professional team is needed.At the end of the Ming Dynasty, due to the perennial war, professional officers began to appear.But it was more than two hundred years old, and the army was rotten.

We often ridiculed the warring states of Japan at the same time that the village chiefs were fighting, but in fact, the military level of Da Ming was also very low at that time.The true names of the ancients can write military books, and they can write their own lessons to pass on to future generations.Who will do this at the end of the day?

So ask who will be named at the end of the day?In my eyes, basically not.
