I believe that when you watch costume dramas, you must often see that emperor so-and-so issued the so-called punishment of the so-called "Zhulian Nine Tribes" in order to punish the subjects who committed major crimes. In our impression, the Zhulian Nine Clan seems to be killing all the people who are related to themselves, and even in some gossip, even the neighbors are punished, which is really very terrible and cruel. Then many people will certainly wonder like me, since the horizontal and vertical are dead, why don't these people choose to escape? Although the possibility of success seems to be unlikely, there is still a glimmer of life in the good villain, and it is better to die than to live, it is better to stay and sit still!
In fact, there are many reasons why the ancients chose not to run away after being connected to the Nine Tribes. One of the reasons is that the emperors are not like the TV series in the five tribes, and even if they are connected to the nine tribes, they are not like we imagine, killing everyone in the family, in fact, the emperors still have a benevolent side, after all, the children are always innocent, and the children under the age of 16 in the family will not be connected to the nine tribes. And for the ancients who did not have filial piety and three, and no queen was great, they would rather die themselves, but also protect their children and leave their own bloodlines, so that they can leave a glimmer of hope at the end of their lives. On the other hand, if they choose to flee, it is a big taboo, and if they are guilty, their last kindness will also be exhausted, and once the prisoners are caught, their children will also be punished, and parents believe that no matter how ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, everyone will not bear to harm their children because of their mistakes.
Another reason is that the traffic at that time was far less developed than we are now. Now some old lai who committed crimes can also fly directly to other countries, and the most advanced transportation technology of that era may be horses, and other light feats such as those performed in some costume dramas actually do not exist, so at that time it was difficult for ordinary people to come up with a city gate. And in and out of the city gate must have relevant vouchers, the soldiers guarding the city gate are also very strict, not so good to fool, not to mention that the emperor will be angry to the nine tribes, must be a big criminal who treason and deceive the king, the portrait will be pasted on the street wall for the people to watch, playing the role of killing chickens and monkeys, so they also have no way to swing in public, if they really want to escape, they can only choose to walk from the wilderness, and they can only stay in that kind of place for a lifetime. We all know that the ancient people were very backbone, and for them, instead of hiding in that kind of place forever and being a savage barbarian and muddy, it was better to die.
The above is the reason why the ancient people did not run away when they were connected to the Nine Tribes. In general, it is too difficult to escape, and it is necessary to consider future generations. In fact, the cruel punishments of ancient times are really innumerable, and some of the other more cold-blooded punishments sound too perverted in our time, so many of these punishments are just to serve as a pastime when the emperors are bored. This is the evil consequence of imperial despotism.
