Inaccurate Joseon Numbers?

[edit]

I highly doubt that Joseon somehow fielded "80,000-130,000" manpower when even in their worst land defeats during the war (Chungju, Imjin River) they usually rallied between 9,000-18,000 men. I mean this seems like a ridiculous number during the official wikipedia page even states the entirety of the Korean forces during the war as... "84,500+–192,000 (including sailors and insurgent fighters)"

So somehow either Joseon mobilized between 60% to 100% of its manpower after losing Gyeongsang and Gangwon Provinces (Two of its three most populous provinces) and somehow rallied a massive army with just Jeolla Province, or these numbers are fabricated. Again, Joseon clearly lost Yongin but these numbers are absurd. Sunnyediting99 (talk) 21:08, 19 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
