One is to make guns, cannons and munitions, and the other is to make ships. Several military factories and machinery bureaus established in the early days of the Westernization Movement were small in scale and poorly equipped. Military factories with single product, large scale and good equipment include Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration, Fuzhou Shipping Bureau and Hubei Gun Factory. Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration was founded by Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang in Tongzhi four years. Covering 16 factory, copying and manufacturing British muzzle guns, Limmington rifles, German muskets, all kinds of artillery and armored ships. Fuzhou Shipbuilding Bureau was the main shipyard in Tongzhi for five years, and its shipbuilding speed was unmatched by other military factories at that time. Hubei Gun Factory was founded by Zhang Zhidong in the 15th year of Guangxu. Mainly divided into gun factories, gun factories, bullet factories and so on. Mainly produces small-caliber new fast guns and fast guns. However, in the process of self-improvement of the army, the army's military has also been reformed. The armed forces of the Qing dynasty were divided into three levels: soldiers, brave and soldiers. Soldiers, namely the Eight Banners and green camp, are the regular armed forces of the country, and their numbers, establishment, salaries and defense zones are all customized, so they are called national armies. Courage is official courage. When something happens, move it, and things will retreat. The amount, establishment and salary are not customized, but everything is customized according to the specific situation, so its quantity, equipment and status are not comparable to those of the Eight Banners and green camp. Ding, that is, Tuan Ding scattered in cities and rural areas, belongs to an uninterrupted organization and is actually armed with half soldiers and half people. In the early years of Jiaqing, the Qing Dynasty suppressed the An Baili Uprising, but the Eight Banners green camp was unable to suppress it, so Yingyong Armed Forces played a great role at this time. Therefore, when the Taiping Revolution broke out, the Qing government placed high hopes on the militia. It specially issued decrees and printed relevant documents for the reference of local officials and gentry, and appointed dozens of officials throughout the country to take charge of the Yong Tuan. However, due to the change of historical conditions, the expected effect has never been achieved. However, in the process of suppressing the revolution of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Yong Lian, represented by Xiang Army and Huai Army, played an unexpected role.
