In ancient times, wars often lasted for three or five years, what if a soldier wanted a wife? Look at the way the court came up with
China's history has experienced the replacement of many dynasties, and it is also known from this that the ancients were often faced with the disturbances of war, just like the world's 1st and 2nd world wars, although the wars of the ancients on the mainland were all domestic disputes, but because the continent was too large and the population was also huge, a war in the country was not lost to the common war of many other countries at all!
Then also because the continent is very extensive, so often the march to fight in the road needs to delay three years and five years, and finally will meet the enemy on the battlefield, the process of marching is very boring, and if you do not pay attention, it may be sneaked in, then in the long night, if these soldiers want to wives, what to do? In order to let the soldiers improve their enthusiasm for combat, the imperial court also came up with many ways and measures to deal with them, which seems to be really direct now!
First of all, the first is to take the wife with you, but this method was soon abandoned by the imperial court, the march to fight is very difficult, taking the wife and children will drag down the entire process of the army's progress, while the delicate wife lives with a group of men every day, the soldier himself is certainly not happy, plus there are many young soldiers, there are no wives and children at all, see the soldiers who can take their wives to the battlefield, the heart is even more dissatisfied!
The second is that meritorious soldiers will be rewarded by the imperial court, for example, soldiers can choose themselves, whether they want property or women? And most women refer to captives, these captives may be born very noble, even princesses, they are not only beautiful, the posture is also very elegant, these female captives to the soldiers, the soldiers will soon be able to arouse a high momentum of battle, but the victims of these wars!
The last one is similar to the comfort women during the Japanese invasion of China, and the comfort women on the ancient battlefield were mostly prostitutes and widows in the Qinglou, and the imperial court would give them money, so that they lived in the middle of the mountain in the evening, or between the grass piles, just waiting for the soldiers to return triumphantly!
In fact, whether it is prostitutes or widows, they all have human rights, and they do not necessarily want to act as the "wives" of soldiers, which can also be seen from how inferior and unappreciated women were in ancient times.
