Đông Minh:
The '''[[Tây Sơn]] military tactics and organization''' enabled the [[Đại Việt]] to defeated Cambodia, [[Rattanakosin Kingdom (1782–1932)|Siam]], Laos, [[Qing empire]], and defeated [[Lê dynasty]], [[Trịnh Lords]], [[Nguyễn Lords]] in Vietnam civil war. But, at the last time, they was fall when [[Nguyễn Lords]]'s army make a counter offensive with support by French.
==Organization==
Total: 100.000 soldiers (1788):<ref name="HdQT"></ref>
The highest soldiers number of [[Tây Sơn]] was recorded at the time [[Qing]] invaded, about 100.000 troops. Enforcement orders, including the forced evacuation to the North Vietnam were extremely severe. Military inspection and military discipline are very strict. Military discipline also makes up for the weak part by hasty training to be able to fight. Based on the description of the Western missionaries at the time, the Tây Sơn almost used the "[[people's war]]", all were mobilized, the monks were also taken away soldiers, women and girls must follow the war. The elderly, children age 15 and older, trafficked, pirates, ethnic minorities are included in the army.<ref name="HdQT"/>
According to the letter of La Bartette to Blandin on June 25, 1786, "They destroyed all the finest churches here, they also destroyed all temples and captured all the monks gas to the battle."
[[Nguyễn Huệ]] did not hesitate to arson, slaughter if meet resistance, to destroy also have that also. Understanding the discipline of the military strength, he is very strict in the military and the reputation is serious.
Bertette and Dousssain, who had been evangelizing in [[Thuận Hóa]] for a long time, wrote in a letter dated June 11, 1788, Nguyễn Huệ sometimes dispatched between two and three hundred thousand troops.<ref>Viện Lịch sử Việt Nam, ''Quang Trung Nguyễn Huệ với chiến thắng Ngọc Hồi-Đống Đa'', NXB Quân đội nhân dân, 1992, pp 155-156.</ref>

The strength of each team, the unit, the direction is not uniform, it varies depending on the nature of the army, depending on the tactical location that units occupy. Typically, each team has between 60 and 100 soldiers, each with between 300 and 500 soldiers, ranging from 1,500 to 2,500. Compared to the military equivalent of Le, Trinh or Nguyen, there is no significant difference.<ref name="thttNH"></ref>
Joints and divisions are mixed units that include elements of infantry, artillery, cavalry, and statues (as part of a modern military unit at war).
===Army===
* '''Infantry'''
* '''Cavalry'''
* '''Artillery'''
* '''Elephantry'''
===Navy===
There are 673 warships, 53.250 soldiers under rules of [[Vũ Văn Dũng]] admiral.<ref name="bmsm"></ref> <ref name="smkttn"></ref>
There are two types of functions:
- Big boats to carry troops, food and other goods.
- Light and flexible boats used to encircle, attack and shock.
There are five types of warfare:
- ''Type-1 battleship'':<ref name="hststts"></ref>
9 boats, 700 sailors / boats, equipped with 60 cannon, each shot fired about 11 kg. This demonstrates that the firepower and the naval forces on the Tay Son warships were extremely strong and numerous. The largest boat in Tay Son is known as "[[Định Quốc]]" (today calls class warship), the [[Nguyễn dynasty]] itself calls it the "Đại hiệu". The [[Hoàng Lê nhất thống chí]] booklet describes the boat as a "Đại hiệu" as a mobile fort, on "setting up a hut, putting a big gun".
5 sailboats, 600 sailors / boats, 50 guns, each weighing about 11 kg.
- ''Type-2 battleship'':
40 sailboats, 200 sailors / boats, 16 cannons, weighed in half, weighed 5.4 kg each. This is a type of boat that is both effective in naval warfare, effectively attacking enemy ships by speed and firepower, while also transporting many troops, capable of attacking enemy at distant targets.
- Type-3 battleship:
93 boats / boats, equipped with only one cannon, but larger than any other artillery, fired approximately 16.3 kg.
- Type-4 battleship:
300 boats, 50 soldiers / boat, 1 small cannon.
- Type-5 battleship:
100 boats, 70 soldiers / boats.
And many other types of small boats.
Type-4 battleship and Type-5 battleship: are small, but are rated as very good. Because small to easily handle, if the river will run by oars, the number of sailors enough to row rowing; should be effective in navigating the river, transporting troops to attack the enemy from afar.
In 1788, [[Nguyễn Huệ]] was dissolved with [[Nguyễn Nhạc]] in the South Vietnam and was pressured from the north when the Qing Dynasty prepared to send troops to attack, the more he urged the naval organization to deal with the increasingly drastic situation. [[General Bảo]] was given 16 more boats and more vehicles to recruit troops.
Barizy (French naval officers in the [[Nguyễn lords]] ranks) reported on the forces of the Tây Sơn fleet led by [[Vũ Văn Dũng]] as follows:
"This force consists of 673 small and large vessels. In these numbers, there were larger ships armed with cannon and crew than the largest Western-style warships the [[Nguyễn Ánh]] had. "
In a letter from Jeaptiste Chaigneau, in Quy Nhon, the Tay Son navy had 54 ships, 93 boats, 300 gunboats, and 100 sailboats.
In a letter dated April 11, 1801, Barizy sent Letondal to write about the naval battle of Thi Nai in 1801, stating that the Tay Son navy had 4,800 transport boats in Thi Nai harbor.<ref>Nguyễn Việt – Vũ Minh Giang – Nguyễn Mạnh Hùng (1983), ''Quân thủy trong lịch sử chống ngoại xâm'', NXB Quân đội Nhân dân, pp 343, 344</ref>
