The Imperial City Division of the Shangwu Dynasty was indeed numerous, the total number of its personnel across the entire dynasty... not less than two hundred thousand people! This was an astonishing figure, considering that those who could enter the Imperial City Division must be cultivators. And they must be cultivators trained by the Imperial City Division from an early age to ensure their loyalty. Those cultivators who joined halfway could not guarantee loyalty.
That is to say... just the Imperial City Division, a special government institution, had no less than... two hundred thousand cultivators! Such a number, if placed within the Great Zhou Dynasty, was unimaginable! It is known that the regular army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, in total, only had a few hundred thousand soldiers. While the Shangwu Dynasty had two hundred thousand people just in one Imperial City Division, the disparity in national power between the two was not minor.
