Still, take the number down for LotR medieval number (which I'm pretty sure was lower), then think about it this way; how many soldiers per citizen. For the Mong dynasty, 1/200 which I honestly don't claim to know how far-fetch it might be. Later periods which Xin is currently in (Xin is about the same tech level as the Tang and beginnings of the Ming)

Heck even the Han dynasty had a massive army and they didn't even rule all of main land china.

If I did one soldier for every 200 citizens it would still be around a million tbh... and even then I currently have all males being trained in militias (Not full time though just monthly)
