[edit] difficult to believe

I have a tough time believing this article. How did they build the fleet necessary to move over three quarters of a million men? Nations didn't and don't maintain navies, merchant or otherwise, of that size on lakes. How did they manuever? It's a long, thin, narrow lake. How did all those folks get there? This represents almost 10% of all men of military age at the time according to ming dynasty. I know there is no original research, but this article needs an answer to these basic questions. It really seems like bunk. Stargoat 02:54, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Shadowcry1000 (talk) 02:40, 20 November 2007 (UTC) I agree this article has practically no citations someone should really clean this up.

 Actually I believe that Poyang is the second largest lake in the country, not the largest one.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.24.137.242 (talk) 14:54, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
