But the most powerful ones are * * * and the United States ~, 195 1 10. 10, the total strength of the PLA increased to 6 1 10000, which was the period with the largest strength in the history of our army. At present, there are about 2.25 million troops in China.
Republic of China, 25 million. Among them, there are 8 million regular troops and 6.5438+0.7 million local security forces.
||||| If we simply look at historical records, the number of troops in China during the Western Zhou Dynasty should not exceed 200,000, because the military at that time,
System and statistics are relatively accurate. This is also the first time in China's history that the number of troops has been counted, before the summer.
The armies of the Northern and Shang Dynasties were basically in their infancy, and the actual number was difficult to count, but they kept a tradition.
In the past, it was recorded that during the war, prisoners, criminals and slaves were armed into an army, mainly including
The example is the battle of Makino in the Zhou and Shang Dynasties, but how many troops the two sides participated in at that time is still a historian.
The problem has been discussed, but the statement that there were 700 thousand troops in Shang Dynasty at that time can be basically denied. Because the Shang dynasty at that time
Our population and economy are simply not enough to maintain such a strong standing army.
The Western Zhou Dynasty was a relatively stable dynasty in the history of China, so the number of its troops remained in the dynasties of China.
A relatively low level. However, when history entered the Spring and Autumn Period, especially the Warring States Period, the number of troops in China became evil.
Sexual expansion. At that time, the total population of China would not exceed 20 million at most, but by the end of the Warring States period, the number of troops had reached an alarming level.
5 million, but this amount should have a lot of water. Because there are not many professional soldiers in the history of China, they mainly rely on war.
In the struggle, migrant workers and privileged classes are mainly armed. At that time, Zhao was robbed of 400 thousand in the battle of Changping, and his national strength was great.
As can be seen from the decline, at that time, the army was basically composed of young and mature laborers owned by the state, so in fact, all countries were.
When there is no war, the number of standing armies is basically not too large, and the seven heroes of the Warring States except Qin are all armed by the whole people.
Except for sending out millions of troops in wartime, other countries can basically maintain a standing army of about 654.38+10,000, which is very strong.
This does not include the relatively weak Yan and South Korea among the Seven Heroes, which can be seen from the war between Qi and Wei in the early Warring States period.
Come, because qi was quite powerful in the seven chivalrous men, and qi was also the first country to implement a standing army (
This is recorded in the history books), so Qi is even more disrespectful to write? Edge mode? Pen power? Sweating on your hips? A straw? Force you to rush? The number of standing troops that can be dispatched is about 65,438+10,000. In the meantime, China should be able to maintain the number of standing troops in general.
About 500,000 to 800,000 people are far from the record of 5 million people recorded in historical books. You can think about it, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
How can China's agriculture and economy support such a huge standing army?
As for the number of troops in Qin, it was relatively stable in the early stage, probably between 300 thousand and 500 thousand. But in the later period, especially farmers,
During the uprising, the number of Qin troops fluctuated greatly. For example, Zhang Han armed 200,000 troops overnight.
Prisoners and slaves in the imperial palace of the Qin Dynasty, so this period became another vicious expansion of the number of troops in the history of China
Period. The large-scale expansion of warlords in various places has led to economic and agricultural chaos, which is also Liu Bangneng's.
Xiang Yu was finally defeated because Liu Bang had the best agricultural foundation and the best economic foundation at that time. Han/Han/Chinese/human
In the Han-Xiongnu War in the early years of the dynasty, although historical records recorded that Liu Bang dispatched 700,000 troops, if the Han army was removed,
Logistics and temporary civilian workers joined the army, and the Han army should actually be only about 500,000 (the exact number is really difficult to estimate,
I hope to find accurate information for my friends. Later, due to the recuperation policy of the Han Dynasty, the number of troops was only
Maybe less than this, but not more than this. Coupled with the existence of a small kingdom in the Han Dynasty, the number of troops in the early Han Dynasty should be
About 300 thousand. However, when the Han Dynasty entered the middle period, especially during the period of Emperor Wu, the number of troops in the Han Dynasty appeared again.
A large-scale increase, this is because the Han Dynasty fought against the Xiongnu and the Western Regions, but this period did not exist for long.
Because the standing army in the farming era was actually the biggest economic burden of the country, the number of troops in the Han Dynasty appeared relatively late
Downward trend. After that, although there was a period of civil strife, the number of troops increased slightly, but throughout
During the Han Dynasty (Western Han Dynasty and Eastern Han Dynasty), the number of China's standing army remained at about 300,000, which was still relatively low.
Ping.
Then the history of China entered the first chaotic period, the Three Kingdoms. The historical records of this period are often biased.
Poor, such as Cao Cao and Sun Liulian, the number of soldiers participating in the war increased from nearly 2 million (Cao 150, Sun Liulian 20) to 400,000.
(Cao 300,000 or so, Sun Liu 65438+ 10,000 or so) are all recorded, which is evident. But we can know from more detailed records.
The battle of Guandu learned that Yuan Shao, who had a third of China's population and territory at that time, lost 65,438+10,000 troops and was completely defeated.
It can be seen that the number of troops at that time should not exceed 654.38+0 million. Romance of the Three Kingdoms and History of the Three Kingdoms are both millions of times.
How obvious the gap is, but as a literary work, it is understandable to make it up for literature.
After that, China entered a short period of reunification, but then something happened in the history of five chaos in China. this
During this period, the number of China's standing army was even more difficult to count. At that time, the war of 500,000 yuan happened several times in the history of China.
What's more, during the turbulent period of the Sixteen Countries and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the number of standing armies in China at this time.
The quantity shall not exceed1100,000 at most. Of course, the number of troops in this country may exceed the previous record of 500,000.
Later, in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, because the Central Grand Dynasty had an absolute advantage over neighboring countries for quite some time, the army
The number of troops showed an obvious downward trend, which can be seen from the Anshi Rebellion that broke out in the middle Tang Dynasty.
Lushan's army is about 654.38+ 10,000. As a result, Tongguan lost 654.38+10,000 troops in the Tang Dynasty and fell into a desperate situation where no soldiers could go out.
An obvious example, so the number of troops in China during the Sui and Tang Dynasties should not exceed the previous average level, that is, 300,000 to 500,000
a standing army
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, China's army once again showed the momentum of vicious expansion. At the same time, the central government faced more enemy troops around it.
In addition, the number of troops in China rose sharply and finally reached the highest point in history, close to 1 10,000 (excluding the Northern Song Dynasty).
300,000 troops from Liao and1.5,000 to 200,000 troops from Xixia, and a small number of troops from Tubo and Dali), but this is not the case.
It has been around for a long time. As the Northern Song Dynasty was defeated by Xu Jin, and the Southern Song Dynasty was partial to the south, China's army returned to about 800,000.
(About 300,000 Jin State, 300,000 to 400,000 Southern Song Dynasty, a few Dali, Tubo and Xixia), this period was the military in the history of China.
The first period of large-scale increase in the number of teams.
The subsequent Yuan Dynasty controlled the number of troops relatively strictly, and the cavalry of the ancient people in Bi Meng was more flexible.
And the system of racial differentiation, so the number of troops in China dropped to about 500,000 during this period.
The Ming Dynasty was another important period in China's history when the number of troops increased. In addition to the huge regular army, the Ming Dynasty even
The paramilitary organizations and intelligence secret service departments were first invented, which led to a sharp increase in the number of troops in the Ming Dynasty, and even increased taxes for this army together with the state, which indirectly led to its own demise. The number of troops in the Ming Dynasty was in China during this period.
For the first time in history, it broke through the 654.38+0 million mark. Among them, the number of fighters in Ning Guan is about 6.5438+0 million, left
Liang Yusheng's army in the south and the 8th Battalion near Nanking (Shi Kefa was in command of a battalion of soldiers at that time).
At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the number of troops in China dropped again on a large scale. In the early Qing Dynasty, apart from the Eight Banners Army and the Mongolian Army,
In addition to the 200,000 soldiers, there are about 200,000 in green camp, with a population of about 500,000. As the emperor's recuperation policy is
Many, which also led to a large-scale population growth in China, and provided an important leap for the number of troops in China.
The foundation of. After the mid-Qing Dynasty, due to political corruption and economic decline, national politics was in turmoil several times.
The peasant uprising led to a surge in the number of troops in China. During the Qianlong and Jiaqing periods, green camp's troops reached 700,000.
During this period, the total number of troops in China reached an all-time high, and various military and paramilitary forces reached 6,543,800+2,000.
In the history of China, the number of troops hovered between 300,000 and 500,000 most of the time. When dynasties change or civil strife occurs,
The number of people waiting for the army will surge in a short time, but it will not exceed 2 million, especially the growth of the standing army is slow. relationship entered unexpectedly into
Because the population is insufficient and the economy is not enough to maintain a huge standing army, why does it often appear in history?
The number of troops is inconsistent with the reality, which is related to the lax statistics in ancient times, the existence of a large number of civilian armed forces and the emperor's great joy. no
/kloc-After the 6th century, due to economic development and population increase, the number of troops in China began to change obviously.
Supplementary summary: Qin Dynasty: 50w (low productivity, no need to deal with the miscellaneous brand of peasant army in the later period ...)
