Although Wang Qi held a large army, he still did not dare to rebel, because Wang Qi was well aware of the qin king's personality. Not to mention whether Wang Qi can succeed in plotting rebellion, as long as Wang Qi dares to rebel, Wang Qi will definitely not have a good end, Qin Wang Yingzheng is not a benevolent emperor, so Wang Qi does not dare to rebel from the heart, and secondly, there is a lack of conditions for rebellion, and Wang Qi himself is an aristocrat, with no worries about food and clothing, there is no need to rebel.
Although Qin Shi Huang was an enterprising and talented emperor, his will was tenacious, calm and calm, his temperament was sharp, he was fierce and courageous, and he did not care about his feelings. However, Yingzheng also has no shortage of the fierceness of the emperor, whose personality is suspicious, cruel, mean, and unkind, and has a strong sense of revenge, which can be seen from the incidents of rebellion and rebellion before Yingzheng.
In the "Rebellion of Concubine Yi" that occurred at the time of the Crowning of the King of Qin, Yingzheng not only put Concubine Yi in the punishment of car splitting and destroying the three tribes, but also his main henchmen were also shown to the public, and all his followers were punished, even his own biological mother Zhao Ji (who lived in Yongcheng and severed the mother-son relationship), Yingzheng did not let go, so it can be seen that Yingzheng was a fierce emperor. If Wang Qi supports the army and respects himself and plots rebellion, his fate can be imagined.
Based on Wang Qi's understanding of The Qin Emperor Yingzheng, Wang Qi did not dare to rebel, for example, when Wang Qi sent troops to attack the Chu State, he repeatedly proposed to Yingzheng to reward him with money and wealth, and Wang Qi's purpose in doing so was to dispel Yinzheng's suspicions about himself. And even if Wang Qi plotted rebellion, it was difficult to succeed, for many reasons, such as: the grain and grass problem, the conscription system at that time, ideological rule, etc., which were answered in detail later.
In the battle of Qin to destroy the Chu state, Wang Qi commanded more than 600,000 troops, why did he not dare to rebel?
The "Chronicle of History" records: "Twenty-three years later, the King of Qin summoned Wang Qi again, and he raised him up, so that he would strike Jing. "....."So Wang Qi sent 600,000 soldiers to Bashang.
Twenty-three years after the reign of the Qin Dynasty, Qin Shi Huang sent the general Wang Qi to lead more than 600,000 troops to attack the Chu state, which lasted more than a year, the Qin army of the Chu army was defeated under the iron hooves, the Chu capital Shouchun was attacked by the Qin army, the king of Chu was captured, and soon after, Xiong Qi (the last King of Chu) of Changping, who was supported by Xiang Yan, was also defeated and killed, and at this point, the State of Chu was completely destroyed. Then, when Wang Qi destroyed Chu, he commanded most of the qin forces in his hands, so why didn't he dare to rebel?
There are three main reasons: First, Wang Qi does not have the conditions for rebellion, Wang Qi is almost impossible to rebel successfully, wang Qi's more than 600,000 troops under the command of Wang Qi can be said to be the majority of the qin state's military strength, but rebellion is not as long as there are troops; second: Wang Qi does not dare to rebel, because Wang Qi is well aware of the human nature of Qin Wang's government, if it fails, Wang Qi himself not only has no good results, but also affects his family: Three: Wang Qi does not have to rebel, Wang Qi has great military achievements, has a very high title, is a nobleman of the Qin state, and has no worries about food and clothing. Why use the lives of the whole family to rebel?
Wang Qi did not have the conditions to rebel
The more than 600,000 troops commanded by Wang Qi are the majority of the qin forces, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strength of the qin state, and on the bright side, Wang Qi has absolute superiority in force. But in fact, this is not the case, although Wang Qi commanded more than 600,000 troops, but these more than 600,000 troops completely obeyed his command, in the purpose of attacking the Chu state, the army naturally obeyed Wang Qi's orders, but if it was a rebellion, it was another result.
Taking a step back, Wang Qi dared to rebel, but did the soldiers below dare to rebel? After the Shang Martingale Transformation Law, the laws of the Qin State were much more perfect, and the "heavy punishment for misdemeanors" and "the law of sitting together" were classic examples of criminal law. As we all know, rebellion in ancient dynasties and dynasties is a felony, it can be said that it is a felony in felony, even the Danshu iron coupon can not avoid death, as for how to die, it depends on the mood of the emperor.
Even if Wang Qi is not afraid of death, the soldiers below are not afraid of death! Even if the soldiers themselves are not afraid of death, they must also think about the family members who remain in the Qin Kingdom, the Qin State's continuous sitting method is not a decoration, and if Wang Zhai plots rebellion, Ying Zheng may take the possible Wang Qi and the soldier's family to open a knife. And according to the conscription system of the Qin State, it is difficult to have deep feelings between the generals and the soldiers, and the soldiers do not have to risk their own lives and the lives of their relatives, so it is difficult for Wang Qi to rebel.
During the Warring States period, the princely states basically practiced the "county conscription system". Because in the Warring States period, the war was no longer dominated by the struggle for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period, but rose to a war of annihilation, and when the country faced the survival of the country, it was bound to intensify the confrontation, and even fight for the whole country. With the expansion of the scale of the war, the princely states appeared a system of all-people military force, which also led to the fact that in the late Warring States period, the princely states could gather hundreds of thousands of troops, even with millions of troops.
In order to be strong or to survive, the princely states needed a strong force, and for this reason military service was extended to all men in the country. The State of Qin stipulated that all men over the age of 17 must register with the government, and after registering the roster (known as "Fu Nationality"), they began to serve and enlist at any time. Registered men are required to serve two years of military service, and in addition to two years of military service, they also have to serve one month in the county and carry out tasks such as building walls and roads.
He was not exempted from military service until the age of 60 (those who had a knighthood could be limited to 56 years old), and some princely states postponed it to the age of 65. In this time period, if there is a war, the Fu nationals will have to wait for the conscription at any time, but the Qin state is not a million people with armor all year round, after all, for the consumption of grain and grass for millions of troops, the Qin state is also difficult to supply for a long time, only in the event of war, it will be temporarily conscripted. After the Shang martingale changed the law, the Qin state implemented the "policy of cultivating war", and in wartime, all the people were soldiers, and when there was no war, they cultivated land.
In this case, the soldiers of the Qin State did not serve in the army all year round, and most of the soldiers still had to farm at home when there was no war, so the contact time between most soldiers and generals was not long, so there was no deep feeling. Moreover, Wang Zhai commanded an army of more than 600,000 troops, and I believe that many, many soldiers and soldiers had never seen Wang Qi, a general, and if they had any feelings, if the soldiers rebelled, their families would be affected.
Under such circumstances, most of the soldiers would basically not rebel with Wang Qi, and if Wang Qi plotted, the army might mutiny, and even unite to take Wang Qi down and send him to Ying Zheng, so even if Wang Qi commanded an army of 600,000 people, he could not rebel. And the consumption of grain and grass for the 600,000-strong army is very large, and the grain and grass are supplied by the Qin State, as the saying goes, "the soldiers and horses are not moved, the grain and grass go first", and sufficient grain and grass is the balance that can affect victory.
If Wang Qi plotted a rebellion and Ying Zheng cut off the supply of grain and grass and other materials, how long would hundreds of thousands of troops be able to sustain. In addition, in ancient times, it was important that "the division was famous", and Wang Qi needed to have a legitimate reason for sending troops to rebel, such as the Battle of Changping between Qin and Zhao, when the State of Qin attacked the State of Zhao, because the State of Zhao gave Korea to the Shangdang land of the State of Qin as its own, the State of Qin had a reason to send troops, and the same was true of the "Battle of Fuhe" before Qin Zhao (the State of Qin took zhao's non-fulfillment of the agreement to exchange the city as a reason).
Wang Qi had no reason to rebel, that is, the division is nameless, the division is nameless, the division is nameless, and the so-called "those who win the hearts and minds of the people win the world." War is not a simple confrontation of force, but also a confrontation of the people's hearts, if the division is unknown, it is difficult to achieve the final victory, it is impossible to win, and naturally there is no good end. Even when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted in Dazexiang, they also had the reason of "the world was bitter for a long time", in the name of Gongzi Fusu and Xiang Yan, they called on the people of the world, so they gathered the people's hearts and minds, and in the early stage, they went all the way to attack the city.
As a courtier of the Qin Dynasty, if Wang Qi plotted rebellion, it was an act of betrayal, and in ancient times, advocating loyalty and righteousness, coupled with the ideological rule of the nobility, betrayal not only did not get the support of the people's hearts, but also suffered condemnation from the people. Although the Zhou Dynasty had ruled for hundreds of years, after hundreds of years of Zhou ritual constraints, the etiquette law had been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and this could not be changed in a short period of time.
Under this ideological control, the populace will only think that the army is the army of the monarch, the army of the country, not the general. If Wang Qi plots rebellion, he will not be able to pass the people's pass, the people will not support it, and he will stand up against it; if he adds that the teacher is unknown, the rebellion will only be condemned and resisted by the people. In addition, many factors restricted the generals from plotting rebellion, such as supervision of the army, prestige, etc. Under various conditions, Wang Qi did not have the conditions for rebellion, and even if the rebellion could not be successful.
Wang Qi did not dare to rebel
The "Records of History" records: "Changxin Hou Yi was aware of the chaos, and Wang Zhizhi ordered Xiang Guo, Changping Jun, and Chang Wenjun to attack Yi. ”
Wang Qi began to serve The King of Qin when he was a teenager, and after decades of getting along, Wang Qi was well aware of The character of Yingzheng, as mentioned above, the King of Qin was a man, with a suspicious, cruel, mean, and widowed personality, just take Lü Buwei, who was respected by Yingzheng as the "Middle Father", Lü Buwei had the merit of countering the rebellion in the rebellion of Concubine Yi, but he was also deposed because he was implicated, which was still remembered that Lü Buwei had a great merit for Qin, and in the case of everyone's intercession, And Yingzheng originally wanted to kill Lü Buwei.
But in the end, Lü Buwei also failed to die because of Yingzheng's suspicious personality, Lü Buwei was reprimanded out of Xianyang, and after returning to his Luoyang fiefdom, because of the endless greetings of guests, he was suspected by Yingzheng, so he moved Lü Buwei's family to Shudi, and finally Lü Buwei committed suicide by drinking poisonous wine on the way, which was forced to die by Yingzheng. And Yingzheng's treatment of the main perpetrator of the rebellion was even more brutal, And Yin Yi was split by the car and cursed the three tribes, the main participants were beheaded, and the followers should be punished, and even his own biological mother was imprisoned, and declared that he would break off the mother-son relationship and never see him again.
It can be seen that Yingzheng is not a benevolent monarch, fierce, even his own mother. Ancient royal affection is weak, because born in the royal family, from childhood to contact with his father and mother is not much time, and Yingzheng was born in the Zhao Kingdom (his father Qin Zhuang Xiang Wang was a hostage to the Zhao Kingdom in the early years), the father returned to China and did not bring back Yingzheng, in such a situation, it is Yingzheng's mother Zhao Ji, who has been accompanying and protecting Yingzheng for nine years, but even so, Yingzheng did not let go of his own mother, so you can also see The meanness and widowhood of Yingzheng.
The "Chronicle of History" records: "Wang Qixing, please Mitian House Garden Pond is very crowded. ... Wang Qi had reached the pass, and the envoy also invited the five generations of good farmers. Or: "The general's begging for loans is also very much done." Wang Qiyue: "Not really." The king of Fuqin was embarrassed and unbelieving. Now that the Qin kingdom is a soldier and entrusted to me, I will not ask Tian Zhao to be self-reliant for the inheritance of my descendants, and Gu ling the king of Qin to sit and suspect me of evil? ””
Yin Zheng is also the same for his mother, not to mention that Wang Qi is only a courtier, not even a member of the clan, if Wang Qi dares to rebel, in the end it will depend on how to die, with the character of Ying Zheng, it is estimated that he will be punished by car splitting and Yi three tribes. In his early years, Wang Qi experienced the incident of the King of Qin eradicating Concubine Yi and Lü Buwei, knew the king of Qin's personality, and was well aware of The suspicious character of Yingzheng, fearing that he would be killed by Yingzheng, so when he went out to the Chu Kingdom and on the way, he repeatedly asked For property and property from Yingzheng, in order to show his firm will to go out on the expedition and had no other ideas.
Moreover, Yin Zheng's revenge psychology was extremely strong, and when he attacked the Zhao State, Yin Zheng also personally went to Handan to kill all the enemies when he was young. In the face of such a King of Qin, how not to be afraid, How wang Qi did not plot rebellion, they were all afraid of being suspected by Ying Zheng, they all calculated this part, how could they not know the fate of their rebellion, how could they not consider that their families would be implicated. Therefore, Wang Qi himself did not dare to rebel, and he was also afraid that the King of Qin would suspect his personality. After Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, there was no record of Wang Qi's subsequent experience, and he thought that he also understood the character of Qin Wang Yingzheng, retreated in a rapid, and ended up with a good ending.
There was no need for Wang Qi to rebel
The "Chronicle of History" records: "Wang Qi, the people of Dongxiang in Pinyang. Few and good soldiers, things Qin Shi Huang. In the eleventh year of the First Emperor, Zhai will attack Zhao Fuhe, break it, and pull out the nine cities."
Wang Qi served Qin Shi Huang in his early years, compared to others, Qin Shi Huang was more trusting of Wang Qi, Wang Qi was also reused, from the historical records, Wang Qi appeared as a general, and then led the army to sweep through the Three Jins, laying a lot of territory for the Qin State, with Wang Qi's military merit, it is completely able to exchange for a very good title, as long as he does not make mistakes, the glory and wealth can not be enjoyed for life, and his children and grandchildren can also inherit the title of Wang Qi, in fact, his son Wang Ben, his grandson Wang Li also have a knighthood because of his merits.
The stronger the Qin state, the better It will be for Wang Qi to pass, and vice versa, Wang Qi can only have a good ending if he guards the Qin State and makes the Qin State continue to grow. But if you have a good life, risk your life and implicate your family to rebel, this belongs to the lantern in the toilet - "looking for death", as long as Wang Qi's head is normal, he will not rebel, and there is no need to rebel.
epilogue:
Through all the above reasons, Wang Qi would definitely not rebel. First of all, as a nobleman of the Qin State, Wang Qi had no worries about food and clothing, and his future was bright, there was no need to live a good life, but he gambled on the lives of his whole family to rebel. Secondly, Wang Qi did not dare to rebel, even if he commanded more than 600,000 troops, Wang Qi did not have the conditions to rebel, even if he plotted, it was almost impossible to succeed, and then he would face the anger of Qin Wang Yingzheng and end up with a tragic death. In the end, as a courtier, if Wang Qi committed the following crimes, he would not only not get the support of the people, but also leave a name for eternity.
