How powerful is Wei Wushu, why can t you rebuild a Wei Wushu in the later period?

Wei Wushu is particularly powerful, and he is Cao Wei's elite troops, because Cao Wei did not have this ability in the later period, and his strength was not enough.

Wei Wushu never lost a battle during the Warring States Period, and once defeated 500,000 Qin troops with 50,000 people, because their training cycle and use funds are a lot, so Wei State does not have so much money to build such an army.

At the peak of Wei Wushu, Wu Qi led them to create a glorious record of 50,000 Wei Wushu defeating 500,000 Qin troops, creating an unsurpassed battle in ancient history to win more with less, which amazed future generations. After the defeat in the Battle of Baiqi in 293 BC, Wei Wushu completely withdrew from the stage of history, and it is unlikely that he wants to rebuild Wei Wushu.

It can be said that it is possible to defeat other countries without spending a single soldier, and it cannot be rebuilt, because no one can be so loyal to the emperor

Personally, I think that in the later period of the Wei Kingdom, it is completely possible to rebuild a Wei warrior, theoretically speaking, but there is a reason why it cannot be established.

It can be established because Wei Wushu is not a mercenary, not a foreign legion, and is composed of Wei people.

As long as Wei did not destroy the country, it would be effortless to form an army.

But to feed such a special forces, a high amount of military spending is required.

At its peak, the Wei state had a population of about 3 million, and the total number of Wei soldiers was about 70,000 to 10.

Due to Wei Wenhou's implementation of the law change and the construction of water conservancy, the economy flourished, the national strength was greatly enhanced, and the country was rich in order to strengthen the army.

After the death of Marquis Wen of Wei, Marquis Wu of Wei ascended the throne.

During his 25-year reign, the Marquis of Wei appointed Wu Qi, a military strategist, to carry out reforms, and the national strength continued to rise.

After the accession to the throne of King Wei Hui, the son of Marquis Wu of Wei, due to foreign policy mistakes, he formed alliances with other countries to make enemies of Qin, and also suffered military defeats and weakened national strength.

In 241 BC, the five kingdoms of Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han and Wei attacked Qin, and the last time they were defeated, Qin captured 400,000 people in Anyang Chaoge in the north of Wei and destroyed Wei Guo, leaving only 1 million people in Wei.

At this time, even if Wei Wushu was formed, he could not afford to raise it.

Secondly, there must be a place to recruit troops to form troops, the Wei country is poor, the territory is small, the population is small, and the source of troops is getting smaller and smaller.

King Hui of Wei died, King Xiang of Wei ascended the throne, Wei and Qin were at war, and Wei was defeated.

Throughout this period of history, it is not difficult to see that a strong country can afford military spending and build a strong army.

A strong country needs talented politicians to formulate appropriate national policies.

After the country becomes rich and strong, the conditions are ripe for the formation of an army, and there must be excellent military strategists.

As the saying goes, if a soldier bears, there will be a nest of bears.

Without excellent generals and correct strategies and tactics, no matter how good an army is, it will be defeated.

During the reign of Marquis Wu of Wei, the national strength of Wei continued to increase, and Wei Wushu was still full of combat effectiveness.

But at this time, they met Pang Juan, a mediocre commander, or Pang Juan was very good but met Sun Bin who was better than him, which sent the invincible Wei Wushu to the point of no return.

In short, the formation of Wei Wushu requires three conditions: the source of soldiers, national strength, and good generals. The Wei State did not have the three conditions, so Wei Wushu could only disappear.

At the beginning of the Wei state, it was divided into Jin with Han and Zhao, and Wei was divided into Hedong County, Banhexi County, Shangluodi, and Dong County. At first glance, Wei, Han, and Zhao did not seem to suffer losses in the territory when they were divided. After all, Hedong County, the richest county in the Jin State in the past, and Shangluo, the most strategically important place, were all in the hands of the Wei State.

But if you look at Wei's location from the map, you will find that Wei did not take much advantage when the three families divided the gold. The territory of Wei was located in the hinterland of the Central Plains and was surrounded by other vassal states, Qin to the west, Qi and Song to the east, Chu to the south, Korea to the southwest, and Zhao to the north. On the map, Wei is like a dumpling, surrounded by the territories of other vassal states.

In short, Wei was in a dangerous situation in the "land of four wars".

It's not that Wei doesn't want to, but that Wei has a weak heart. First, the country could not afford it, the training cost of Wei Wushu was expensive, and in the early days of Wei, the country was rich and strong, and it could still be supported, but in the later period, Wei had no money at all, and the national strength could not afford Wei Wushu's training; The second is that the real soul of Wei Wushu is those veterans with rich combat experience, but Wei has already defeated these veterans; The third is that Wei Wushu's training cycle is long, and he can't do it for ten or eight years, but how can the enemy give Wei such a long time?

Wu Qi led him to participate in the Southern Expedition and the Northern War, and made great contributions, but also fought for the 500 kilometers of land that was emptied of Qin, making the dynasty at that time reach more than 50,000 in its heyday, and won many battles with less to win more, such as the Battle of Yin and Jin.

It's amazing. It is the earliest professional army in China, and its combat effectiveness is particularly strong and lacking. Specifically, I remember that he fought in the south and north for 30 years, and won a total of 72 victories in the war, which is quite great.

Wei Wushu is very powerful, it is the first Ruchun in the ancient history of our country to be a relatively regular professional knowledge and resistance army, in this army of oak spring soldiers are all professional soldiers, the strength is very strong.
