It is often seen from movies and TV series that the emperor quickly gives half of the tiger charm to the general who leads the army, and the other half of the tiger charm of the general is in line with the emperor's half of the tiger, and when it is lifted, it can command the three armies to lead the army to attack the city and sweep through the Central Plains. Some people have questioned, a small tiger rune really has such a great ability? It was able to mobilize a million troops, a number of troops large enough to destroy other countries.
The Tiger Charm, a Crouching Tiger token made of bronze or gold, is a relic of troops transferred between emperors and generals. The Tiger Rune is divided into two, half in the hands of the emperor and half in the hands of the generals, and in wartime, the combination of the two can mobilize a large army, and mostly appear in the Spring and Autumn Warring States. It varies from country to country and cannot be universalized. Then some people asked, why doesn't no one dare to imitate the Tiger Rune and mobilize a million troops against the emperor?
One of the reasons is because the smelting technology at that time was backward, the imitation technology was not as convenient as modern, and their iron and gold industry was low, all filtered by hand, the purity was very low, and the tiger symbol was exquisite, the production process was refined and complex, if you want to imitate a tiger symbol, the royal family had to smelt many times to get a tiger symbol, not to mention the poor civilian class.
The second reason is that those who can mobilize hundreds of thousands and millions of troops must be famous generals of high moral standing, there must be many soldiers who know, and there have been meetings so many times, the officers at the next level are not vegetarians, how can they command the three armies without a point rank, then the country is not chaotic, even if your tiger charm is realistic, not a famous general, nothing.
Later, with the evolution, the role of the tiger rune on the army's command was reduced, such as the rebellion of Liu Xingju in the Western Han Dynasty, the "rebellion of the seven kings" of the Han Jing Emperor, etc. When the local warlords supported the army and respected themselves, and the royal family's strength was reduced, it was not enough to deter the king of the domain, and the tiger rune could not play any role. Therefore, the tiger rune is useful, that is also before, behind it is the strength of the emperor.
For the ancient people, imitating the tiger symbol is too complicated, and the general recognizes each other, it is too difficult to mobilize a million troops with a tiger symbol, honestly cultivate the field.
