With 400,000 troops in his hands, why did he not dare to rebel?
The first point is that Ao Bai in history has never had the intention of rebellion, and he has always been loyal to the Qing Dynasty. From Huang Taiji to Kangxi, he did his best to assist. In the later period, he was pampered and arrogant, and there was no one in his eyes, but for him, power was more important than the dragon chair. As an old man of the Three Dynasties, he does have the capital to dominate. After the young Kangxi succeeded to the throne, Ao Bai began to assist him, and after many years of getting along, there was already a relationship between the two, so Ao Bai naturally would not kill the killer. Even Emperor Kangxi at that time, after he was captured alive, did not choose to cut the grass and eradicate it. This point has been verified in the Yongzheng period, not only did not have the intention of rebellion, but wholeheartedly assisted Kangxi, but because of the high merit, Emperor Kangxi had to be feared and had to be removed, after Yongzheng ascended the throne, he washed away the grievances for Aobai, and at the same time treated his children and grandchildren well.
The second point is that it has an important relationship with the pattern of the court at that time, if there is internal strife, the Qing Dynasty may be in danger, especially the new emperor succeeds to the throne, many ministers will naturally have a rebellious heart, at this time, if Aobai launches a mutiny again, the situation in the court may be difficult to control. What's more, the Qing Dynasty at that time, as well as the threat of Wu Sangui in the north, if there is a conflict within the Qing Dynasty, it is likely that Wu Sangui will seize the opportunity, and after weighing the pros and cons, Ao Bai chooses to assist Emperor Kangxi in managing the country, after all, he is also a high power, and there is no need to gamble his family's life for the throne.
The third point is that if Aobai mutinies, he will not necessarily win, although on the surface Aobai has 400,000 soldiers, but most of these people are loyal to the Qing Dynasty, that is to say, if Aobai launches a mutiny, maybe his real strength is not so much, and Aobai himself will naturally not take this risk.
The fourth point, that is, Kangxi's backer is the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang, since Nurhachi, the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang began to contribute to the Qing Dynasty, the four ministers have the opportunity to assist Emperor Kangxi, and they are all attributed to Xiaozhuang, Emperor Kangxi captured Aobai, this may be Xiaozhuang's strategy, after all, how can a teenage child have such courage. Ao Bai naturally knows Xiaozhuang's ability, so he will not take the initiative to take risks, let alone rebel and replace Kangxi, after all, Ao Bai just wants power. #鳌拜#
