I think it reflected the general situation in the Chinese military during the Ming and Qing dynasties, a lot of men and troops, but not very efficient just as they were. In the real history, poor leadership and outdated military organization made the massive Chinese army useless against Western invasion, but in this game, the player has the chance to alter it, mainly by playing around with good tactics and reforms. It's a lot of pain, because you have to pay attention to a lot of little things, and that's exactly how the rulers of the Celestial Empire felt.
