Schofield tank The Schofield tank named after its designer , was a New Zealand tank design of the Second World War . Developed in 1940 when it seemed that the Pacific War might reach New Zealand and with little likelihood of weapons coming from Britain , it did not enter service . It was designed to run on either tracks or wheels . Design and development . When a need for the production of indigenous armoured fighting vehicle s arose in 1940 , E . J . Schofield , a motor vehicle dealer for General Motors , in Wellington , approached the government with his own design . Schofield tank ' s was based on the chassis of a Chevrolet 6 hundredweight truck using the suspension from a Universal Carrier . Wheels normally carried on the hull could be bolted on so that it could use these rather than the tracks . As initially designed it had a crew of three : machine gunner and driver at the front and a second machine gun in a turret at the rear . The initial design performed badly in trials but the Government sought an improved version . Designed by another member of the original team , the improved model used a better transmission and the turret now contained a QF 2 pounder gun with a co - axial Besa machine gun . By the time it was complete - 1942 - New Zealand had received tanks from the UK and US . The armour plating was provided by the New Zealand Railways . The four wheels shared drive and idler sprockets with the track , and the move from wheels to track , and vice versa , could be made from within the hull . In 1943 the improved design prototype was shipped to Britain , where it was evaluated by the Department of Tank Design . Although not completely critical , the project was advised to be stopped . The tank was stored for a while and scrapped post war .

His cavalry retreated towards Díaz pursued by the imperial forces , who were caught in a lethal cross - fire from the concealed republican troops . While Díaz launched a frontal assault led by Manuel González ( later to become President of the Republic ) on the imperial forces , the surprise cavalry attack from rear decided the day . Aftermath . As a result of the battle , Díaz ' s forces were replenished with about 1 , 000 captured rifles , two field pieces and over 50 mules loaded with ammunition . He was able to continue his advance with little opposition , reaching Oaxaca on 8 October 1866 .

Joseon helped Ming China with 10 , 000 soldiers when Ming China attacked Manchurian Later Jin under Nurhaci in 1619 , but Korean General Gang Hong - rip surrendered to Nurhaci . Gang insisted that Korea did not hold anything against the Manchus and that he sent reinforcements only to repay an obligation to Ming . In Korea , the Western faction deposed the realist King Gwanghaegun ( Hangul : 광해군 , Hanja : 光海君 ) and installed King Injo in 1623 . This faction took explicit pro - Ming , anti - Manchu policies . In addition , Ming Mobile Corps Commander Mao Wenlong ( Hanja : 毛文龍 ) engaged in guerrilla warfare , based in an island off the Korean peninsula . The first Manchu expedition was triggered by Yi Gwal ' s rebellion against King Injo in 1624 . The revolt was soon crushed but remnants fled to Manchuria . They recommended Hong Taiji to invade Korea . War . In 1627 , Huang Taiji dispatched Amin , Jirgalang , Ajige and Yoto to Korea , guided by Gang Hong - rip and other Koreans . The Manchus managed to march deep into Korean territory . They defeated Mao Wenlong ' s troops but failed to capture the commander . When the Manchus advanced southward to Hwangju , King Injo fled from Hanseong ( Seoul ) to Ganghwa Island in panic . Despite the favorable situation , the Manchus pushed for peace negotiations , probably because Hong Taiji was concerned about the home defence . They offered peace to Korea , which was soon accepted , despite the opposition of some anti - Manchu statesmen who failed to appreciate the strong position of Manchus . The following settlement was agreed upon in Ganghwa Island : Meanwhile in Pyongyang , Amin looted the city for days before he was ordered by Hang Taji to sign the peace agreement . This agreement was more favorable to the Manchus . After the four month expedition , the Manchu army withdrew to Mukden . Aftermath . The two sides conducted postwar negotiations . The Manchus forced Korea to open markets near the borders because the long conflict with Ming brought economic hardship to the Manchus . Korea also returned the Warka tribe to Later Jin . The Manchus regularly exacted tribute from Korea . The relationship between Joseon and Later Jin remained uncomfortable and bleak . While the first invasion was not as catastrophic to Korea as the second , nine years later , would be , it was bitterly resented by Confucian statesmen and scholars who believed that it was treacherous for Korea to abandon Ming China after the Chinese assistance against Japan during the Seven - Year War . This resentment was inflamed when in 1636 the Manchus demanded to change the terms of diplomatic relationship from equality to Suzerainty - Tributary . The Korean Court , dominated by anti - Manchu hawks , rejected the demand . This led to the second Manchu invasion of Korea in 1636 .
