太平天国将士,在世界资本主义近代化潮流涌入中国的影响下,从对敌的频繁战争中,逐步认识了西方军事科学技术的先进。在革命的中后期,也开展了规模可观的购买、引进与仿造西方先进武器装备的“洋务”活动。这些追求军事技术近代化的活动,对改善太平军的装备、提高部队的战斗力、并为保卫革命政权与根据地、痛打外国侵略者及其走狗清王朝创造了更为有利的条件。太平天国在军事技术方面所作的种种努力也应作为中国军事近代化发端的源头之一。
Under the influence of the influx of modern capitalism into China, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom soldiers gradually realized the advanced western military science and technology from the frequent warfare against the enemy. In the middle and later stages of the revolution, large-scale purchases of foreign affairs were also carried out to introduce and copy the Western advanced weaponry and equipment. These activities of pursuing the modernization of military technology have created even more favorable conditions for improving the Taipings’ equipment and enhancing the combat effectiveness of the armed forces and for defending the revolutionary regimes and bases and for beating the foreign invaders and their lackeys during the Qing dynasty. The efforts of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in military technology should also serve as one of the sources of the military modernization of China.
