will. When word came of the approaching standards of Wu Sangui (with Dorgon in the rear, so as to present to the
Chinese as if a Chinese general alone was coming to their aid, not realizing the political maneuvering of Dorgon), Li had no choice BUT to flee. He was not in control of Beijing, it was in total chaos. That is worth mentioning. Had he had discipline amongst his ranks he might have had a chance at defending such a paramount position as the capital itself. It is important that readers understand this. Please, do not leave that out, I will expand later with proper sources. This is my second to last week of school, I will be doing MAJOR reconstruction to the Ming article afterwards. Thank you for your help. It is very much needed for such a hefty topic as a three century period of China.--

artworks from the Sui/Tang
Dynasties? I've also seen many Han stone reliefs; some reliefs provided on that page by Professor Todd are unquestionably from Han period tomb walls. However, the lack of wear-and-tear and lanky artistic style on the image in question does raise an eyebrow or two, I will admit. I'll need more evidence, though, before I am totally convinced that the images should be removed. Cheers!--

Hi Gnip. Are you certain about this? Prof. Gary Lee Todd did not provide any sort of wall plaque describing the artwork, but he did place the image in a page specifically labeled as showing
Chinese artwork from its inception up to the end of the Han Dynasty. Could you provide some sort of comparison

That's all good. By the way, where does Sun Tzu's citation talk about the Tang? I checked the Sui-Tang section, there were no griffith citations. As to the equipment section, I was trying to give the reader an overview of the equipment of the
Chinese army in late imperial times (etc., Song onwards),

which is from your source. The Ming armies relied on gunpowder weapons to a great deal and developed them, while
Manchus viewed gunpowder weapons (and new inventions/economic development in general) as a threat to their rule. This was a major reason for China's decline starting from the 17th century

Of course you should note his final outcome, but leave the info about him fleeing
Beijing, I will add to that. It is important. He was forced to flee Beijing because unlike Dorgon and Wu, had had no discipline and authority amongst his rag-tag ranks, who disobeyed his orders and pillaged the city at

I'm not sure what you mean. I checked the sources and the last one was pretty specific that gunpowder bombs were thrown on catapults. Gunpowder bombs were called "thundercrash bombs" during this era, but I don't know why that should be important. I think I can help better if you clarify what you're

limiting the use of firearms to a single centralized body of people specially trained and easily controlled, and keeping the production of weapons under direct state control, could be measures meant as much to rationalize the deployment of artillery in military campaigns as to prevent the

I should have kept the fact that he was killed afterwards, didn't I? I can't remember if I did or not. The actual certain event of his death is somewhat hazy in historical records, if I recall reading a while back. Conflicting accounts of how he actually died after he fled
