What weapons did the army use in the late Qing Dynasty?

This is a passage found on the Internet: "1884, the Qing court purchased more than 9,000 M 1882 rifles made by Remington from Lee Company (serial number 14000 to 2 1000 and 23,000 to 25,000), with a caliber of 43 Spain. The Chinese words "Buchheister and Company" were branded on the gun case. In addition, we bought 3,900 to 4,000 ready-made M 1879 old guns, which were modified by Remington Factory to use the same magazine. These rifles coincided with the Sino-French war. Feng Zicai, a veteran, led China's army and took the elite French foreign troops to test guns. 1From March 25th to 28th, 885, China and France fought fiercely at the Daqingshan and Fengweishan passes near Nanguan Town for three days, with 463 French casualties, accounting for about one fifth of the invading army. Finally, the French army retreated to the coast, and the Qing army pursued Langer all the way. The layout of the whole French army is on the verge of collapse, which is called a victory in the town. The report of the French army afterwards pointed out that most French troops used single-shot rifles, and a few marines used manual bolt rifles with tubular magazines, and because the loading time was too long, they fired single-shot after the first loading. The Li-style rifle of the Qing army was easy to load and had amazing firepower, so it suppressed the French attack with superior firepower. Thanks to Remington Company, this is one of the few wars in China's modern history in which our army has superior firepower to the enemy. Next time, it's probably time to wait until the end of the Anti-Japanese War, when the Yunnan-Burma Expeditionary Army slaughtered the Japanese army with a full set of American-made equipment. There was a joke. It is said that the people sent by the Qing court to buy guns chose Lee's rifle because they thought it was designed by China people. Of course, they should like to use it. " In addition, the Qing army was equipped with a large number of Hutchison 5-gun rifles, Spencer 9-gun rifles and Winchester 17-gun rifles.
