The princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States period often sent hundreds of tho

Yes. Because at the time of the Battle of Salhu, the Ming Dynasty had reached a terminal illness period, and there was no cure.

Yes, mainly because Salhu does not have so many people, so the number of troops is naturally less.

It is indeed like this, because the number of troops at that time was hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of thousands were just exaggerations.

There are many reasons for this, but I personally believe that there are several reasons: the conscription system is different, and the statistical differences are exaggerated. The different development of the social productive forces has led to different conscription systems in different periods.

China's conscription system and social productive forces in all periods were all constantly improving, and they were all established on the basis of the social economy at that time.

The Spring and Autumn Period belonged to the end of the slave society, the productivity was low, the economic foundation was weak and could not support many troops, and at the same time, the number of troops of each vassal state was stipulated in the early Western Zhou Dynasty, Zhou Tianzi had six armies, the number of troops was about 75,000 people, and the army of the vassal states had more than 30,000 people, and only a few thousand people. Most of the wars in the Spring and Autumn Period were aristocratic wars, which followed the Zhou rites and were not large in scale.

It was different when it entered the Warring States period, with the collapse of the slavery system and the Zhou rites, the establishment of the feudal landlord system, and the emergence of iron tools, the social productive forces were developed. In the world of great controversy, all countries are changing their laws to become stronger, merging with each other, and all countries basically implement the "system of all people being soldiers".

During the Ming Dynasty, with the development of social productive forces, professional soldiers appeared. The Ming Dynasty implemented the "guard system". The army was organized into two levels: guard and station.

One of the finch houses is set up, and several houses are guarded. The guard has a commander and a commander of 5,600 troops, and there are 1,000 households under the guard, and 100 households under 1,000 households. Soldiers have military status, hereditary army, stationed in Tuntian in peacetime, and appointed generals to lead the army in wartime.

The battle of Salhu took place in the late Ming Dynasty, and the guard system had gradually collapsed, and the military registration was a lowly status in the Ming Dynasty, and many military households fled. In addition, Liaodong belonged to the land of fetters in the Ming Dynasty, and the number of soldiers was not much. In addition, in the early days of the late Ming Dynasty, Sun Lu encountered the Xiaoice River period, grain production was reduced and the harvest failed, and the bitter cold land of Liaodong was far away from mountains and rivers, and the supply was difficult.

Statistical discrepancies are exaggerated.

During the Warring States period, the whole army was a military system, and the army was mostly temporarily conscripted peasants, and the two countries often exaggerated their numbers to intimidate each other.

During the Ming Dynasty, there were already professional soldiers, and the number of professional soldiers was counted. The Ming Dynasty is relatively recent, and the historical records are relatively true.

To sum up, it was common for the princes to send hundreds of thousands of people to fight during the Warring States Period, and it is reasonable that there were not many soldiers in the battle of Salhu in the Ming Dynasty.

1 agriculture and animal husbandry are extremely backward, the land production is very small, Qin only three or four million people, the origin of steaming, is that there are more people, and the carrying capacity of the land is limited, and there is no new technology to liberate the productive forces, waiting for others to occupy the homeland, it is better to take the initiative to go out to fight, 2 physiological health care is also very weak, people's lives are very fragile, life and death are down, 3 equipment technology is not available, all by brute force, who has great strength, who will be advantageous, there is no skill, all by brute force, naturally there are many people with great strength, (later generations have iron floating map, Hongyi cannons all need craftsmen to work in the rear, and there are three layers of armor, all need craftsmen who are large in the back,)

4 At that time, Zhan Zheng was not for living, but for the sake of living and --- survival.

Later generations of Zhan Steaming is also the whole people borrowed soldiers, but the process has been divided, some people go to the front to hit hard, part of the rear production, imagine a primitive village, a javelin, a shield, is a fighter, and do not need technical equipment, nor do you need the rear of the large production,,, full-screen brute force, when there is no need for technology, the power is the boss, the strength of the more people is great, the future of the steaming, thousands of people are busy for two or three months, before creating an artillery battle, the soldiers who go into battle, only a dozen people, press the button, the artillery battle was consumed, In fact, it is still the whole people borrowing soldiers, just the division of the process, during the Warring States period, rice was not popularized, Chu State is so large, there are only 3 million people, rice is popularized after the Han and Wei dynasties, imitation,

The Warring States period was an era of militarism, and in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, it was mainly the recruitment of soldiers and military salaries that dragged down the Ming Dynasty.

In the middle of the Shang Dynasty, the maximum mobilization capacity was 10,000, and women were good at commanding troops.

During the Western Zhou Dynasty, the Son of Heaven was ten thousand times, and a chariot had a horseman, a bearer, and an archer, a total of 30,000 people. The great princes are generally 3,000 times and have a force of 10,000 troops. During the Spring and Autumn Five Hegemonic Period, the overlord's troop mobilization often reached more than 30,000, and began to exceed Zhou Tianzi's maximum strength.

During the Warring States Period, the layers were increased, and all the people were soldiers.

Qin's mobilization capacity was 600,000 people, but there were logisticians inside. The total population of the Qin State was only about 3 million, and 5 people sent a soldier, and almost all the young men and strong laborers were sent to the battlefield. The mobilization capacity of the state of Chu is 800,000 people.

The guard system of the Ming Dynasty was similar to that of the government soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, and even similar to the green battalion of the Qing Dynasty, which served as soldiers for generations. In the early years of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the soldiers were tested by a long period of war and had strong combat effectiveness. However, after three generations of hereditary soldiers, about sixty years later, the combat effectiveness began to decline.

The soldiers of the guard, half soldier and half peasant, spent most of their time in agriculture and doing chores in peacetime, and their combat effectiveness became worse and worse. The government soldiers of the Tang Dynasty were not good when they arrived in the Tang Xuanzong period.

The Ming Dynasty's guards were completely out of order during the Zhengde period of Ming Wuzong, and there were as many as 1.6 million soldiers who fled from the world's guards.

After Jiajing, he mainly relied on recruitment, and recruiting soldiers required silver. A soldier needs at least 100 taels of silver a year, and the military salary is only part of it, and food, armor, **, etc. are all silver. In the battle of Salhu, the Ming army dispatched 10,000 people, and the military budget was 7 million taels.

The auxiliary army of North Korea and Yeh is about 20,000.

The finance of the Ming Dynasty mainly relied on land endowments, and the industrial and commercial taxes lagged far behind those of the Song Dynasty. If we want to increase wages, we must squeeze the peasants, and the peasants in Shaanxi, where the natural environment is the worst, will not be able to stand up in the first place. Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong are both from Shaanxi. Then, the Ming Dynasty was finished.

During the Chenghua period after Zheng He's death, some eunuchs persuaded the Chenghua Emperor to follow Chengzu's example and go to the West again. As a result, Liu Daxia in the military department refused to hand over Zheng He's navigation information. Some say that Liu Daxia burned it, and some say that Liu Daxia hid, but no one could find it in the end anyway.

Then, the Ming Dynasty entered an era when there was no ocean-going navy.

If in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there was still a powerful navy of the Zheng He style. Nurhachi, it is simply impossible to settle down on any coast of Liaoning. The logistics supply of the Ming Dynasty to Liaodong could be supplemented by the navy, avoiding the dilemma of an excessively long land logistics line.

An important reason for the failure of the Sui Dynasty's eastward expedition to Goguryeo was that the supply lines on the road were too long.

The Song Dynasty was often defeated by the Jin State with more than 100,000 troops at once (the Northern Song Dynasty lost 200,000 troops in the Battle of Taiyuan, the Northern Song Dynasty lost 100,000 troops in the Battle of Tongguan, the Northern Song Dynasty lost 100,000 in the Battle of Kaifeng, the Southern Song Dynasty lost 100,000 in the Battle of Fuping, and the Southern Song Dynasty lost 180,000 in the Battle of Fuping), but the Southern Song survived. There are many reasons, two of them: the Southern Song Dynasty was fighting on the inner front, and the Southern Song Dynasty had developed industrial and commercial taxes and had the money to continue to recruit soldiers.

Because in the later period of the Ming Dynasty, the army was no longer what it used to be, and the military system of the Ming Dynasty had great problems, and it was difficult to recruit soldiers.

Because the Ming Dynasty was in a period of peace, there were very few troops in peacetime, and it was already very good to have a standing army of more than 100,000, and the Warring States were at war for a long time, so there could be hundreds of thousands of troops.

During the Warring States Period, almost all the people were soldiers, in order to fight and survive, many people became soldiers, and they volunteered to be soldiers in the Ming Dynasty, of course, there were not so many people.

During the Warring States Period, all the people were soldiers, and everyone had to go to the battlefield, so hundreds of thousands of troops could be taken out, but this was no longer the case during the Ming Dynasty, the soldiers were all regular soldiers, and hundreds of thousands were already very many.
