The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
In ancient times, the emperor was the master of the country, and the coast of the four seas belonged to him alone, enjoying the ultimate wealth and supreme power. Therefore, being an emperor is a beautiful thing that many people dream of, and this ultimate dream directly leads to many events of the king's seizure of the throne. Since ancient times, many dynasties have been changed from a successful rebellion, perhaps to overthrow tyranny, perhaps to hang the emperor, but in the final analysis, they are driven by desire to sit on the throne of the Nine-Five.
However, rebellion was a very big crime in ancient times, and many leaders who failed to rebel ended up in a very tragic end. In order to defend his rights and warn others not to follow suit, the emperor would often torture and torture the rebels to death, and they would also raid their homes to exterminate their clans, and even the entire clan of the surname would be destroyed.
But there is a phenomenon is very strange, want to rebel alone is certainly impossible to succeed, the cold weapon era of war and killing is nothing more than to win with more people, then follow the leader against the imperial court, and the emperor against since there is such a big risk, then it is bound to be a high return after success, will make the soldiers and generals in the team tear their hearts to follow.
But in fact, ordinary soldiers, even if they become victorious rebels in the mutiny, will only receive some rewards from Bo Tian Yinliang, not too rich rewards. However, if the rebellion fails, one person will die on the battlefield, no one will pursue its background, and if it is captured, then what awaits is the heavy punishment of Zhu Lian.
With such a disproportionate ratio of gain and loss, why do so many people follow their own generals to rebel? In fact, there are several reasons that can be seen in this, sometimes the fate of soldiers is not in their own hands.
Every rebellion in history has undoubtedly carried the banner of justice, and most of them have been hidden under the appearance of asking for the people's orders or suppressing adultery on the side of the Qing emperor, but in fact they have carried out this subversion of the dynasty and the seizure of the throne. But ordinary soldiers were still kept in the dark, and they were generally ordinary people who suffered from the heavy taxes of the imperial court. Once the generals who follow him are generous and kind to others, they will die for them in the name of justice.
However, once it is finally discovered that the truth is not as imagined, then it will be intimidated, has done something to betray the imperial court, and has no way to retreat if you want to stop the precipice, plus the imperial court in order to suppress the rebellion, it is bound to suppress and hurt the family and cronies of the leader of the uprising, which becomes the best warning. Many soldiers regretted it even if they knew they had boarded the thief's ship.
At this time, in order to stabilize the hearts and minds of the army, the generals will carry out propaganda and education in a timely manner, paint a magnificent picture for the officers and men under their command, and make them believe that as long as the rebellion is successful, they will change their fate and reverse their lives. And will promise that after overthrowing the old lord and laying the foundation, they will enjoy endless glory and wealth. This makes the soldiers have unlimited courage in the beautiful vision, and they work harder for themselves and their families on the battlefield.
Therefore, for the above reasons, ordinary soldiers will forget morality and turn their backs on personality, and follow the Lord to carry out the rebellion to the end. After all, ancient times were poor in resources and hierarchical, able to survive and possibly have a bright future. This is the driving force behind the struggle, and many people will fight to go forward.
