When it comes to the most important thing in the ancient royal family, there is actually one thing that is more important than the throne, that is, the soldier's rune. If the imperial seal is a symbol of the identity of an emperor, then the soldier is also a symbol of the true strength of a country. The soldier's rune is a symbol that can command all the armies in the country, and to some extent, the soldier's symbol has a more definite power and role than the Chuanguo Jade Seal. Today we will talk about this, a very important military symbol in history. The ancestral treasures of the elderly can mobilize an army, and the experts require the elderly to hand them over to the state!
The soldier is a symbol of the strength of a country, in many cases the soldier should be in the hands of the general who leads the soldier to fight, the ruler has the right to issue the soldier to anyone he trusts, and in ancient times, the person who had the soldier had the right to rule the army. That is to say, the owner of the soldier is more likely to have real power than the emperor, so the owner of the soldier is a huge threat to the emperor. In the past dynasties, there have been many generals who have been highly meritorious and shocked, who have been killed by the emperor, and the biggest hidden worry of this is the soldier's symbol, because the strength of the soldier's symbol is too absolute, as long as there is a soldier's sign, you can mobilize troops, even if you are not the emperor.
There may be many people who will say, if the soldier rune is such an important thing, then why wouldn't anyone imitate it? Will there be any fakes? But in fact, this situation is very, very rare, because the soldier rune itself is a very important thing, its production project is quite complicated, and the production materials are very rare, very difficult to copy.
In the later period of feudal society, in order to prevent the generals from rebelling, the soldiers were made into two parts, one of which was in the hands of the general who ruled the army, and the other was in the hands of the emperor, only two pieces of soldiers in line with two for one, in order to command the army of the whole country, which was a kind of power containment for the emperor, and he could more confidently let the generals under his hands lead the soldiers to fight.
The wheel of history is rolling forward, and there is no such thing as a soldier in modern society, but the soldier's symbol in history is also a very important cultural relic. There was an old man surnamed Yi who had a soldier's charm in his hand, and his uncle was once a powerful general under Zeng Guofan, and he was also praised by the emperor, and was named a general of Jianwei, and was awarded this soldier's charm by the Xianfeng Emperor. At that time, having a soldier's charm was a very, very important thing, and the old man also regarded this piece of soldier's charm as his own heirloom, which had never been sold, even when the family economy was very difficult, he did not move this idea, because it represented the honor and inheritance of the family, and the old man felt that this piece of the soldier's rune was the most important thing in the family, and it could never be lost or sold.
After hearing about this incident, many experts ran to the old man's home to study this soldier's charm, and then many experts began to persuade the old man to hand over this soldier's charm to the state, so that he could get better protection, but the old man said that this was something left by the ancestors and did not hand it over!
