Comparison of the forces of the three countries 20, comparison of the forces of the three countries

1. Wei had the strongest military strength.

There are four or five hundred thousand total troops, but he has to garrison many places, Yongliang on the western front is 6-70,000, Jingyu on the southern line is 100,000, Xu Yang on the eastern line is 100,000, and Luoyang and its strongholds are 10-150,000.

2. Shu has the weakest military strength.

The army is about 10 to 130,000, 50,000 in Hanzhong on the northern front, 2-30,000 in Yong'an on the eastern front, and 3-50,000 in Chengdu each stronghold.

3, Wu Guo. The military strength was between the Wei and Shu states.

The total number of troops is around 20-250,000, and they are mainly deployed in Misukou and Nangun.

and other strongholds along the Yangtze River.

Wei: The total number of troops is about 40-450,000, 6-70,000 in Yongliang on the western front, 100,000 in Jingyu on the southern line, 100,000 in Xuyang on the eastern front, and 10-150,000 in Luoyang and its strongholds.

Shu: The total strength is about 10-130,000, 50,000 in Hanzhong on the northern front, 2-30,000 in Yong'an on the eastern front, and 3-50,000 strongholds in Chengdu.

Wu: The total number of troops is about 200,000-250,000, and they are mainly deployed in strongholds along the Yangtze River such as Misukou and Nanjun.

Early stage: about 700,000 in Wei, less than 100,000 in Shu, and 250,000 in Wu.

Medium: 65-700,000 in Wei, 10-150,000 in Shu, and 250,000 in Wu.

Later period: about 650,000 in Wei, about 500,000 in Shu, and 500,000 in Wu.

Wei: The total strength is around 60-650,000, Shu: the total strength is around 10-130,000, and Wu: The total strength is around 20-250,000,

Do they understand history or not, and anyone with a little bit of historical acumen knows that those broken numbers are unreliable, what is 670,000 in Wei, 100,000 in Shu, 200,000 in Wu, what nonsense.

Wei: Wei's information is not complete, but there is a saying that "the hukou is 603,000 and the population is 4,432,000." It is estimated that its strength is close to 800,000, and the number of officials is about 300,000.

Wei Zhanji, You, And, Qing, Yan, Henan, Yong, Liang, Qin 11 prefectures. Wei was the most powerful and occupied the rich land of the Central Plains.

Shu: Now I quote the figures from the Book of Scholars submitted by the second emperor Liu Chan when he subdued Wei in 263 AD, 30 years after Kong Ming's death. According to the "Book of Scholars", Shu's household registration and population were "280,000 households, 940,000 men and women, 102,000 soldiers with armor, and 40,000 officials."

This is the information provided by Shu Han**, which should be a rough standard. Shu Zhanyi, Liang Erzhou. It is the weakest of the three countries.

Wu: Wu's information is also not complete, in Wu's heyday, "the household registration was 523,000, and the population was 2.4 million. It is estimated that its strength is nearly 300,000 and its officers are 100,000. Wu Zhanyang, Jing, Guangzhou, Jiao four prefectures, Yangzhou was already a rich land, plus the later capture of Jingzhou, the strength increased greatly.

In the Battle of Guandu in 199, Yuan Shao had about 300,000 troops. Cao Cao is about 200,000. However, due to Cao Cao's enemies on all sides, the garrison and defense pressure was very great, and the army participating in the Battle of Guandu was about 30,000 and Yuan's army was about 100,000.

In the Battle of Chibi in 208, Cao Cao had an army of less than 500,000 and Liu Biao 100,000 in the south. Liu Biao had about 130,000, of which 120,000 surrendered and nominally surrendered Cao's army. Liu Qi and Liu Bei totaled less than 20,000, about 10,000.

Sun Quan has about 150,000, of which 30,000 are in Zhou Yu and 20,000 in Sun Quan's rear army.

In the Battle of Xiangfan in 219, Guan Yu's army totaled 10,000, Cao Ren's army was 10,000, Yu Ban's army was 30,000, and Xu Huang's 12 battalions were 20,000. Guan Yu initially attacked 30,000 troops, staying 10,000, including 10,000 in Nanjun, 1,000 in Yidu, and 3,000 in the remaining two counties. Guan Yu surrounded Xiang and Fan, annihilated 30,000 of the Forbidden Seventh Army, and repelled Xu Huang's army.

There were about 30,000 sneak attack troops in Jiangdong, including 10,000 troops in Lü Meng and 10,000 in Lu Xun's roundabout army.

In the Battle of Yiling in 221, Liu Bei's total strength was about 100,000, and the Eastern Expeditionary Army including the barbarian army was about 50,000. The total strength of Jiangdong is about 200,000, and Lu Xun's army includes about 70,000 reinforcements. In 263, Deng Ai destroyed Shu.

The total strength of Shu was 120,000, of which about 20,000 were annihilated and 10,000 surrendered. Cao Wei had a total army of 500,000, including 30,000 Deng Aijun, 110,000 Zhong Huijun, and 30,000 Zhuge Xu. In 280, Wu was destroyed.

The total strength of the Western Jin Dynasty was 550,000, and the Jiangdong was 230,000. 200,000 on the 6th route of the Wu army.

The specific figures are not easy to say, let's talk about the strategy, let's first say that Wu has the highest per capita GDP, the strategy is mainly based on water warfare, the requirements for equipment are high, there are the best surface combat teams of the three countries, the people's living standards are relatively high, the source of troops is not extensive, there are no territorial claims to foreign countries, the main direction of the enemy is Shu, but Shu and Wu have a certain amount of cooperation in the early stage, and the hostility period is relatively short. Diplomatic relations can be handled well in bilateral or multilateral relations. In summary, the defense is strong and the combat readiness is sufficient.

Wei: The GDP per capita is the lowest, the territory is vast, the population is large, the gap between the rich and the poor is large, and there are many internal contradictions. There are many soldiers, but the quality is poor, the equipment is poor, suitable for the tactics of the sea of people, and has an overwhelming advantage over Wu or Shu in a wide frontal battle.

Foreign relations: Because it is in a period of military contraction dominated by economic development, and at the same time is strategically harassed by Wu Shu or the Wu Shu alliance, fighting on two fronts is not conducive to military attacks. Summary, passive defense, low equipment, poor international relations, but with a strong potential for the development of the economy and military.

Shu State: The per capita GDP is average, the ratio of population to military strength is high, and the strategy is mainly based on military plunder in foreign wars, and the economic contradictions are transferred. The tactics are mainly based on mountain warfare, special warfare, and unrestricted warfare, and can form a local military superiority strike capability against Wei, and often win more than lose.

Summary: The space for economic development is small, the military is active and flexible, and the offensive is used instead of defense, but the high ratio of population to force leads to a long recovery period of the war, and it is not possible to launch a large-scale strategic war with a long time. Diplomacy, to pull Wu to fight Wei.

Introduction to the territory, population and army of the Three Kingdoms:

1. Shu State: Shu Han was built by Liu Bei, and he did not develop from the south of Jingzhou until after the Battle of Chibi with the assistance of Zhuge Liang. Its influence once covered Jingzhou, Yizhou and Hanzhong.

Before and after the founding of the country, there were many wars with Sun Wu and the loss of Jingzhou, and after Zhuge Liang settled in the south and the south, he obtained the territory of Yunnan, and gradually stabilized since then.

Territorial scope: The north confronts Cao Wei in the Qinling Mountains, and Hanzhong is an important town; It is adjacent to the Three Gorges in the east and Sun Wu, and Brazil is an important town; Southwest to Minjiang, Nanzhong, and Qiang, Di and Nanban adjacent. There are a total of 22 counties in Shuhan, and only one state is Yizhou.

Under the establishment of Yizhou, the governor of the prefecture was set up, and the county was governed by the southern part of Yizhou.

There are 280,000 households, 940,000 people, and a little more than 100,000 soldiers.

2. Wu State: The territory of Eastern Wu owned most of Yangzhou. After the Battle of Chibi, Sun Quan successively gained western Jingzhou, Jiaozhou, and after defeating Guan Yu, he gained the entire southern part of Jingzhou. Until Sun Quan became emperor, the territory stabilized.

Sun Wubei and Cao Wei confronted each other in the area of the Yangtze River, the Huai River and the Han River, with Jianye and Jiangling as important towns; It is adjacent to the Three Gorges in the west and Shuhan, and Xiling is an important town; It is bounded by the East China Sea in the east and south to the South China Sea, and the central part of Vietnam in the south.

Sun Wu originally had 32 counties and three states: Jingzhou, Yangzhou, and Jiaozhou. Guangzhou was established in 226 and later incorporated into Jiaozhou. By the time it was restored in 264, a total of one state was added.

Sun Wu had 523,000 households, 2.3 million people, and 230,000 soldiers, Wei State: Cao Wei's territory was greatly developed during Cao Cao's time, and Cao Pi said that the emperor was finalized after the founding of the country, accounting for about the entire North China region.

Roughly north to Shanxi, Hebei and Liaodong, adjacent to the Southern Xiongnu, Xianbei and Goguryeo; east to the Yellow Sea. In the southeast, it confronts Sun Wu in the area of the Yangtze River, the Huai River and the Han River, with Shouchun and Xiangyang as important towns; West to Gansu, and Hexi Xianbei, Qiang and Di adjacent. The southwest confronts Shu Han in the Qinling Mountains and Hexi, with Chang'an as the important town.

After the founding of the country, there were 87 counties and 12 prefectures, including: Sili, Xuzhou, Qingzhou, Yuzhou, Jizhou, Bingzhou, Youzhou, Yanzhou, Liangzhou, Yongzhou, Jingzhou, Yangzhou.

Cao Wei set up the Western Regions Changshi who governed Haitou and Wuji Lieutenant who governed Gaochang in the Western Regions. In 221, after Sun Quan became a vassal domain, Cao Wei let Sun Quan lead Jingzhou Mu, and set Jing Yang and other Sun Quan forces as Jingzhou, and the northern part of Jingzhou under the original direct jurisdiction of Cao Wei was renamed Yingzhou.

After the two sides broke up, Cao Wei restored Yingzhou to Jingzhou. From 220 to 226, it was divided into Qinzhou and finally incorporated into Yongzhou. After the destruction of Shu and Han, Yizhou was divided into Liangzhou, and a total of two states were added.

Cao Wei had 1.03 million households, 4.4328 million people, and 500,000 soldiers.

It is recorded in the history books that the population of the Han Dynasty was 3000w (Han Wu period?). It seems that there is also a saying that it is 1500w, I can't remember clearly), and at the end of the Three Kingdoms, Shu had a population of about 100w (I have counted the population that is not in the compilation, and it seems to be too much) Wu is about 150w (and there are certainly not so many) Wei is more, but it is only 300w

It can be seen from the above that the total population of the whole country at the end of the Three Kingdoms was only 600w (from one side, the Three Kingdoms fought too many wars, but at the same time, we can also see how corrupt the late Han Dynasty was. Go (the census was also very strict at that time).

The lack of people in the Three Kingdoms is a well-known thing Kong Ming went out of Qishan and won the battle, and he didn't want land, just the example of bringing people back to Shu is proof

Well, since the Three Kingdoms period, it was only 1500w people, which was in the same order of magnitude as Japan, but why did it send so many troops? Moreover, China is a typical agricultural country, and the people are tied to the land, so it is impossible to go to war often (although many fields in the Three Kingdoms era were destroyed by war, but Cao Cao's deeds of enclosing places in his own territory to farm for farmers also tell us that in fact, farming was also very important at that time) (ps: nonsense, when did the lord not value grain?)

That's why I said that if I had to find so many people to fight, unless the peasants who didn't fight were counted, (that is, if a place rebelled, all the people of that place would be regarded as rebels), it would be impossible to have an army of 10w at every turn At that time, about 35w people participated in the Battle of Chibi It was already a big war (so the description of this period of history in the Three Kingdoms is not short).

In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, hundreds of large and small battles were fought, except for a few famous battles, in fact, the other battles were very watery Either a few thousand people became hundreds of thousands, or they didn't exist at all, and they were fictitious by Mr. Luo, or they didn't explain the strength of the troops, and they were vaguely dragged over (this situation is the most, you can go and see).

Territory matters: Giving you a map is basically a long time to make it clear, as for the number of our troops, let's put it simply;

There are 280,000 households and 940,000 people in Shu, and there are only a little more than 100,000 soldiers.

There were 523,000 households and 2.3 million people in Wu, 230,000 soldiers in Sun and Wu, and 1,030,000 households and 4,4328,000 people in Wei; Cao Wei had 500,000 soldiers.

So Shu Han and Sun Wu had to unite to resist Cao Wei.

Zhuge 's Northern Expedition, the so-called "unify the Central Plains and restore the Han Dynasty" is actually just a slogan, and he knows it.

Shaanxi, Shanxi, Sichuan, Jiangdong... It's probably the central, eastern, and southeastern parts of China, and of course Hainan can also be counted, although it can't be controlled, and Taiwan, which was sent by the people of the Sun Wu regime at that time.

The northernmost part of the north is the Bohai Sea, no more than Beijing.

As for the strength of the Three Kingdoms, it would be good for you to take one zero in their claimed army of hundreds of thousands, which is more in line with historical facts.

Shu is Chengdu, Wei is Luoyang, Xuchang, and Wu is Jianye.

100w people are estimated to be like this.

The soldiers and horses of the Warring States are all accumulated over the years, and they are also related to the military system. In the Warring States county conscription system, peasants were the main targets of conscription. Military organizations are often combined with residents' organizations.

Coupled with the fierce competition between countries, the focus on construction, the good protection of the population, and the few large-scale battles, the main attack at that time was the city rather than the population. So there are a lot of troops. Cao Cao welcomed the imperial capital Xu and coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, especially in the Battle of Guandu, defeated Yuan Shao, and obtained the states of Hebei, Merge, and Qing, and his ruling area gradually took on the scale of a state.

At this time, the situation was too big, and it was no longer possible to lead an army (if not all of them) to fight everywhere as in the past, so the method of staying in the tun was born. To pacify a place, that is, to leave a part of the army to garrison there, and have one person as the commander in command, to command all the armies in the jurisdiction. This kind of Liutun system is actually the abuse of the military system of the military governors of the military divisions that prevailed below the Wei and Jin dynasties.

This situation occurred after Cao Cao defeated Yuan Shao to occupy Hebei and annex the states, and after the Chibi War, the situation of the Three Kingdoms was formed, and it was gradually fixed as a system. Moreover, the Eastern Han Dynasty itself was relatively defeated, and natural disasters caused the Yellow Turban Rebellion to occur, and it was normal for people to eat people and reduce the population. What's more, there are still exaggerations in historical books, and Sima Qian often adds some literary techniques to historical records.

The above is my guess, don't spray if you don't like it, the correctness may be lower.
