When it comes to Japan's Sengoku period, this is the most exciting history of Japan. Japan's history is more similar to that of China, from the tribal era to the division of feudalism and finally to the unification. It's just that China has come a few cycles, while Japan has only come once. This history, due to the rendering of Japanese games, is considered to be popular in China. However, there are a few points that we may not be unaware of. In European parlance, Japan is a bunch of "kids riding dogs to fight." And this kind of war, in the eyes of Chinese, most of them say that children in several villages fight in groups. Let's see if it's really real.
Honda Tadatsukatsu, a warrior known in Japan as the "first warrior of the Sengoku" and "Oninohei Hachi", if it is not direct enough, then take a person as an analogy, you will know. That is China's Lü Bu, it is estimated that it should be more intuitive. So how tall is this benevolent brother? It is only about 140cm. Some people may scold the editor, this height is what you said is so tall that it is so tall? It is certainly not a small editor's nonsense for no reason, this is based on the armor of Honda Tadatsu and some related historical materials. This Honda Tadatsukatsu was one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Tokugawa and could be said to be a capable general. Such a figure is only one meter and four meters, which is basically the height of a sixth-grader in elementary school. Now the child is well nourished, if a primary school student grows older, it is estimated that there are one meter six. If you just talk about one person, it may not be convincing enough. Let's take a look at the next one. Then after we finish talking about Lü Bu, let's talk about Zhao Yun. Known in Japan as Zhao Yun, Sanada Yukimura, the "first soldier of Japan". How tall is this Sanada Yukimura? It is about 150~160cm, and it doesn't look very tall either. In our country now, it is really a short man.
After talking about the warriors, let's pick a few good nutrition. For example, the Japanese daimyo, this is considered to have a better life in Japan. So how tall are the daimyo? The character who finally unified Japan and defeated the descendants of Toyotomi Hideyoshi was only 156cm. In fact, this height is already quite good in Japan. Having said so many short, is there any tall? Don't say, there really is. For example, Toyotomi Hideyoshi's son Toyotomi Hideyoshi was still very tall. This big brother, 178cm, is basically a giant in Japan. Therefore, many people suspect that he is not the son of Toyotomi Hideyoshi. Toyotomi Hideyoshi is only 140 to 150 cm tall. During the Sengoku period, this figure who unified Japan was called "Monkey". Although he is not tall, his heart is still very high. He once vowed to occupy China, Mongolia, and India. However, in North Korea, he was taught to be a man by the Ming Dynasty, who had not been a big brother for many years. Well, having said height, let's look at the size of the Japanese Sengoku.
The Sekigahara Battle was one of the largest battles in Japan, because at this time Japan was mainly two major forces. And how big is this battle? At that time, Tokugawa Ieyasu's Eastern Army had nearly 100,000 people, and Ishida 30%, the Western Army, had about 80,000 people. This scale still seems to be quite a lot, basically comparable to the Chibi War or the Battle of Guandu. In the Battle of Wenlu, which invaded Korea, the size of the Japanese army was also about 140,000. So, what about the Battle of Salhu at about the same time? The Ming army had only 100,000 men. It seems that Japan is not a village-to-village war. Of course, this depends on how you look at it. The invasion of Korea and the joint battle of Sekigahara were Japan's mobilization of the whole country's troops, and at this time Japan was basically a soldier for the whole people, because the Warring States period was a time when Japan fought for a long time, and generally those who could fight wars were on the battlefield. In the Battle of Salhu, the Ming army of 100,000 was not all combat strength, but the Ming Dynasty had a million troops. Of course, we do not say anything about the combat effectiveness of the guards.
Compared with China, although the scale of the Chibi War seems to be slightly smaller than the Guanyuan Hezhan, the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty Jiajing Wanli Period were more than 1,000 years apart, and the population of the whole country at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty was not necessarily 20 million. Therefore, most of the time, the wars in Japan's Sengoku period were fought by children in the county seats. I don't know, do you have a sense of picture.
