The king of the four famous generals of the Warring States

Wang Qi, a rare general talent of the Qin State, was a non-negligible existence at that time, and with his outstanding military command skills, he was called the "Four Famous Generals of the Warring States" together with Bai Qi, Li Mu and Lian Po.

Wang Qi began to serve Yingzheng from a very young age. However, in the early days, Ying Zheng did not have much power in his hands, Lü Buwei controlled everything, and there was also a concubine in the harem who did not do evil.

After the eradication of Lü Buwei and Yan Yi, the Qin king Yingzheng officially pro-government, and the war of the Qin state to unify the world began.

Except for the first destruction of Korea, in which Wang Qi did not participate, the other five kingdoms were either destroyed by Wang Qi's troops or conquered by his son Wang Ben.

Before attacking the State of Chu, Qin Shi Huang summoned a group of ministers to discuss the plan to destroy Chu, Wang Zhai thought that "it is impossible to have 600,000 people", Qin Shi Huang was not satisfied, how to use so much, at this time, Li Xin thought that 200,000 could be, so Ying Zheng let him go, and the result was defeated. There was no way, Yingzheng could only let Wang Qi lead 600,000 troops to the south to attack Chu, but the result was victory.

So the question is, Wang Qi's father and son held 600,000 Qin soldiers at that time, why did they not dare to rebel?

You know, rebellion is not so easy, many people think that with military power they can rebel, which is wrong. Not all the generals were Zhao Kuangyin and others, and not all soldiers wanted to add yellow robes to their superiors.

Therefore, Wang Qi is also a generation of famous generals, and he understands this truth. If the Qin Dynasty was already on the verge of extinction, or if it was at the time of Qin II, the rebellion was still excusable, and at the stage of Qin Shi Huang, there was no reason to rebel.

The division is unknown, which is a huge drawback for him. Besides, the soldiers also have family members, all in the Qin Kingdom, if there is a sudden rebellion, then what will happen to their own families? Who wants to rebel with the general without any reason.

Conspiracy to rebel is a felony, and to blame the three tribes is to lose one's own bad luck. It was only Wang Qi who won well. That is to say, there was no interest relationship between Wang Qi and the soldiers.

In addition, the Qin state implemented a conscription system, and men of the right age were required to register and start serving in the military. The soldiers belong to the Qin state, not to a certain general, which is not the same concept as the jiedushi in the late Tang Dynasty.

That is to say, Wang Qi only had the right to lead the soldiers to fight, and the soldiers followed him, also in order to obey the wishes of the imperial court. If he's going to rebel, then it's a different story.

Although we often say that the king's orders will be outside, if you want to rebel, it can be seen that all soldiers are not willing. At best, only some familiar people who have followed him for a long time will agree, at least not in number to 600,000 people.

Why Did Qin Shi Huang dare to put so many armies under the command of Wang Qi's father and son was not completely defenseless. The State of Qin set up a supervision army in the army to prevent soldiers from rebelling. These supervising troops were all dispatched by the imperial court, not to the generals, only to the imperial court, their role was to monitor and supervise the army, specifically to supervise the military masters.

If Wang Qi wanted to rebel, even if he killed the overseers, it would be useless, and Qin Shi Huang was also wary of this.

Wang Qi was just a general, and no matter how influential he was, he was not able to gain most of his support. Even if he reluctantly rebelled, the results waiting for him would not be much better.
