During the warlord war period of the Republic of China, the first thing was the progress of civilization, and there was no massacre of cities at every turn. Moreover, the warlords know that the civil war is not about grabbing land and not affecting the people. They are all Chinese. The war requires the population to work as backup support, and unlike in ancient times, the weapons are different. Mortality rates are generally reduced.
First of all, Western ideas were introduced during the Republic of China. It has a certain influence on thinking and realizes that people's hearts are the most insignificant and cannot be used to fight violence with violence. Literati and politicians are well aware of this and understand that if the people can live and work in peace and contentment, the people will be better inclined towards good rulers. When expanding the army, we did not forcibly recruit strong men involuntarily as in ancient times. Instead, we changed to the current idea of ????voluntarily serving as soldiers. This is much better than the ancients. And there is no strong military training. Many of them are ordinary people. They don't have real weapons and live ammunition, but there are just a lot of people in their aura.
The fighting methods during the Republic of China were different. At that time, thermal weapons, as well as advanced communication equipment and advanced medical equipment were already used. Under industrial production, there were many advanced weapons and there was no need to rely on a large number of weapons. The labor force came to serve the war indiscriminately. On the contrary, a large amount of labor is needed to produce food, develop industry, and commerce. Make certain gains in benefits. With advanced medical equipment, the mortality rate of the people has been reduced, thereby controlling the decline of the population. This is also one of the reasons for the stability of the population.
China’s population was not in a good place before the Qing Dynasty. In modern times, the population has grown rapidly. There are reasons for this. Many of them were hidden by landlords to evade taxes. During the Qing Dynasty, the system of dividing a person into an acre was implemented. , only then did the hidden people begin to show themselves.
Even if the population did not plummet during the Republic of China, the society was still in chaos and the people were in dire straits.
