Chapitre 178: Chapter 104: Analysis of Mexica Social Classes: Land and Manpower_3

"The fiefs of Chinampa and villages owned by the two Princes could support a private army of six thousand, but in reality, it was four thousand Samurai. Plus, the market taxes from the two cities should be able to additionally support another thousand. After this internal purge, only the last thousand of the private army would remain under the control of the Prince of Tlacopan."

"Similarly, the lands of the Great Nobility could support nearly seventeen thousand Samurai. However, the Great Nobility also need substantial wealth to maintain their noble lifestyles. Their private armies add up to about ten thousand, equivalent to the Royal Family's military force, and they can also mobilize militia from the villages they own. As the military forces are distributed among different families, the Royal Family tries to win over part of the Great Nobility to suppress the entire group, ensuring their military forces follow the King's command."
