Sima Yiyin raised three thousand dead soldiers, this matter itself is questionable, the history books say that Sima Yi secretly raised three thousand dead soldiers, scattered in the folk, at first glance it seems to be no problem, but careful analysis will find that there is a problem.
Ancient social management is very strict, not loose, Han inherited the Qin system, many systems are inherited from the Qin Dynasty, for example, the management of the common people Qin Dynasty implemented the "Shi Five System", the ordinary people one tithe one five group management, these populations have each other's supervision and reporting responsibility, one person commits crimes and many people are punished.
The Qin Dynasty established an official in charge of social order from the central to the local level- Wei, and there was a pavilion below, a pavilion for ten miles, strict management of ordinary people, household registration, number of people are registered, to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Cao Wei regime ruled steadily in the north for many years, these systems can not be without, right?
Moreover, the most important thing in the war and chaos years is the source of soldiers, and if the flow of population is not strictly controlled, where is the guarantee of military resources? Therefore, it is conceivable that the hukou and number of people in the cao wei rule area were strictly registered and managed.
Under such circumstances, it is very difficult to secretly raise three thousand dead soldiers. Besides, these people must be scattered to the people, what is their identity? Where do they live? How do they stand in strict social management without being discovered?
From the later Gaopingling Incident, it can be seen that these people are all soldiers who are full of war, not ordinary people, a strong young man who does not do anything and has no worries about food and clothing, does not make people suspicious? It is difficult to hide in society without being discovered.
Secondly, what do these people live on? Sima Yi paid them military salaries, how? The team of three thousand people, equivalent to a regiment of Beiyang warlords, is so large and easy to expose, these are all problems.
Third, it was the war-torn years, and each country had its own intelligence system, so how did Sima Yi's three thousand dead soldiers escape the ears and ears of the intelligence systems of Cao Wei, Shu Han, and Eastern Wu? Shu Han and Cao Wei were inseparable, even if Sima Yi was powerful in the State of Wei, the intelligence system did not dare to provoke him, and the intelligence system of Shu Han would still be afraid of him?
If there really were three thousand dead soldiers scattered among the people, could the Shu Han regime not know? Knowing why not report Cao Shuang, how good is it to borrow a knife to kill people and get rid of Sima Yi?
Fourth, these three thousand people suddenly disappeared from the army, and the Cao Wei regime would not find out? Won't you ask if you find out? There is also a doubt, that is, fifth, how can these three thousand people be gathered together in a short period of time? The ancient means of communication were relatively backward, so how could it be achieved that the three thousand people scattered among the people could be quickly assembled?
Some people say that overnight notices, overnight gatherings, to know that in ancient times, a strict curfew system was implemented, the city gate was opened and closed on time, and the city gate could not be opened or not.
From these aspects of analysis, Sima Yiyin raising three thousand dead soldiers is a suspicious thing, if it is true that three thousand dead soldiers are secretly raised, it is also in the army, not in the people. Sima Yi fought for the Cao Wei regime for many years, and his influence was extremely great, and it was likely that he would use his influence to secretly control a three-thousand-strong consort army, just like Yuan Shikai controlled the Beiyang Army, only in this way could it not be discovered, so such an army was mysterious and extremely brave.
So let's return to the theme, the end of these dead soldiers after the Gaopingling Incident. After the Gaopingling Incident, Sima Yi seized the actual control of Cao Wei, and although the situation at that time was favorable to Sima Yi, he still had many enemies, so this army was Sima Yi's greatest political capital, and his military strength could only grow and not weaken.
As a result, he would certainly give a great reward to this trustworthy force, further expand its strength, and as the basic force for his future seizure of power, control the entire Wei state through this force, and prepare for the next step of usurping power.
