During the Qianlong period, an archery competition between the bannermen and nobles was held. Most of the ancestors beat the Zhu family, who knelt down and called their father, and they could not even hit the fixed target five meters away!

As for the hard bow, as long as it can be opened half, it is considered qualified. As a result, with such low requirements, a large number of people have been eliminated...

Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers, it’s really an old lady’s New Year – it’s getting worse every year…

In fact, after the Eight Banners soldiers entered the Central Plains and established the northern world, the older generation of Eight Banners soldiers entered the elderly mode, and their successors had already failed to go through hard battles and had a level of the same combat effectiveness as the regular army in the late Ming Dynasty.

The south of the Ming Dynasty basically relied on the remaining power of the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers to drive the traitors like Wu Sangui to defeat them.

Why was the Three Feudal Rebellion so powerful?

It was because of the rebellion of the Three Feudalists that the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers could already receive pensions, while the next generation was used to the support of hardcore crops and was too lazy to practice martial arts and suffered!

Practicing martial arts is much harder than going to the gym!

In the 21st century, there are only a handful of people who can persevere in the gym to lose weight, let alone martial arts practices that are several times more tired than fitness?

So, we really can't blame the Eight Banners Heavenly Soldiers for too much expense. They are just ordinary people. If anyone lies at home, they will have the imperial food to eat, and what motivation is there to go to work and check in?

Even in the 21st century, if the state issues unemployment subsidies free of charge and keeps paying them, it is guaranteed that a large number of young men and women who do not work can be born.

Li Wei's American imperialism during the epidemic in his previous life was a good lesson, and just because of the relief funds, it attracted a tide of resignation!

The Eight Banners of the Qing Empire were actually groups who could receive steadily relief funds. It was strange that they didn’t eat, drink and have fun all day.

The answer is obvious. Even if the effective range of the soft bow is used to use the optimal uplift angle, it is impossible to compare with the smoothbore gun.

In history, those with a range of up to two or three hundred meters are the top ones among hard bows that ordinary people cannot pull!

If an ordinary archer can shoot a target within 50 meters, it is enough to be called a regular army!
