Can, now a division is about 10,000 people, from the number of people, to fight against the whole Ming Dynasty, the number of people have no advantage, but let the 10,000 people holding modern guns, and also not limit the ammunition, that is not hot weapons massacre cold weapons. Ancient China but cold weapons against cold weapons, there are many battles with less than more, such as the battle of Guandu, the battle of Red Cliff, the battle of the Interfluo. Interfluo battle as an example, at that time the Eastern Jin Dynasty northern government soldiers are also 8000 people, Fu Jian called million, but did not gather finished, then in the Interfluo also have into the 300,000 people. Think about this ratio, and then think about the Opium War in the modern Qing Dynasty, hot and cold weapons are not a platform and level. Plus our current combat thinking and combat strategy is not worse than the Ming Dynasty, right, the victory is beyond doubt.
One, hot weapons against cold weapons, innate absolute advantage
How strong is the power of a modern integrated division? More than a hundred tanks, hundreds of cars are certainly there, there are also airplanes, not to mention, just a few airplanes Ming Dynasty army will have to lose. Take the world's stronger integrated divisions now, all kinds of helicopters have several hundred. An integrated division is fully staffed and equipped, about 12,000 or even 13,000 people, artillery, tanks armored vehicles, helicopters, etc. are also equipped. One caveat, unlimited ammunition. Such an army that endures with hot weapons and is equipped with airplanes, artillery, and tanks, when put into the ancient cold weapon battlefield, is it not like the heavenly soldiers and generals in mythology or the demon king in hell. Sensei, anyway, mortals are no match. Any dynasty, whether before or after the Ming Dynasty, encountered such a team, regimentation.
Some would say that the Ming Dynasty already had a firearm? The Red Cannon. Indeed, but the firearms of the Ming Dynasty could not be compared to modern weapons in terms of accuracy, precision and range, not to mention, the number of red-coated cannons of the Ming Dynasty was limited. Ammunition was also limited, and compared to modern weapons, it was child's play.
Two, strategic thinking and strategic decision-making
The strategic thinking of the army now, is that we have precipitated thousands of years of military war experience, our war thinking paper money Ming Dynasty advanced, will not be regressed by them, the Ming Dynasty's war thinking we know, but our current war thinking and strategy, the Ming Dynasty at that time the ground does not know. We don't know. The human race has gone through a long period of war and turmoil in recent times, World War I and World War II, both of which were world-class, and the people of the Ming Dynasty were certainly unable to understand the modern war ideology.
Three, psychological support
It is estimated that if you really let the Ming Dynasty people see a whole division now, directly scared of confused are possible, because all the weapons, equipment, including clothing and costumes are not the same, may be in the ancient people's impression. If a modern person goes to ancient times, he will not be regarded as a god, but may be regarded as a rakshasa. Plus the superstitious beliefs of the ancients, it may be true that they will surrender without a fight.
Here is not to belittle the meaning of the Ming Dynasty, in fact, at the same time, the Ming Dynasty is already very powerful country, Zheng He went to the West, than Europe almost a century ago. It's just that you can't really compare it that way, and it's inherently unfair to compare the cold-weapon era with the hot-weapon era.
