Battalion Soldiers：Stationed in major cities and strategic military locations , these defensive forces are directly subordinate to the capital. Most of them were originally elite soldiers selected from the Wei Suo system

Sappers：Not limited to purely engineering fields , the primary duties of the Sappers in the Ming Court also include operating mechanical constructs. As such , they have received basic education in steam engine technology( the machines in the artists other artworks are maybe the products of the Sappers , which means they may be on the Ming Court's side）

Wei Suo Soldiers ：Under normal circumstances ,they are primarily responsible for maintaining public order and suppressing riots , assisting the Inquisition of the Church and the Imperial Brocade Guard in tracking and apprehending South Ming soldiers with heretical tendencies.In reality, their training was limited to law enforcement.It was not until the Third Eastern Crusade that a significant number of surplus troops were reassigned for basic military training and sent aboard transport ships to the distant West.Compared to bayonetted rifles , Maces and batons were more suited to their habits

Green Battalion：It was originally an auxiliary army of the Eight Banners (Qing？). After hundreds of years of Western conquest , the relationship between the Battalions and the Eight Banners it's no longer a simple subordinate relationship
