In China's ancient feudal moral concept, the most important and noble quality of being a courtier is loyalty to the monarch. Because of this moral shackle, the emperors of all dynasties and generations were able to maintain their rule. Otherwise, these self-proclaimed founding heroes and generals would have divided the world long ago.
As a result of the mainstream culture, there has never been a shortage of loyal subjects in the history of our country. Their stories are familiar to us since childhood, such as Yue Fei, who heroically resisted Jin, or Fang Xiaoru, who died for Emperor Jianwen and finally was zhu Di and fang xiaoru of the Ten Tribes.
Admittedly, the story of the loyal minister has long been heard. Today, I will tell you a few stories of rebels with personalities, who jumped out of the traditional feudal morality and looked very rebellious at the time. However, after thousands of years, it seems that it is actually normal.
There are a total of 3 famous rebel generals in the history of our country, and the third place is believed to be Wu Sangui. Whether in the TV series "Kangxi Dynasty" or "Deer DingJi", we have seen his figure. He was the key figure in the demise of the Ming Dynasty, and if it were not for his release of the Qing army into the customs, perhaps the Ming Dynasty would still survive.
So, how did Wu Sangui become a traitor to the Ming Dynasty step by step? He was born in the Wanli period, his ancestors were shoguns, Wu Sangui learned martial arts from an early age, and his skills were also mastered. After winning the Wu Zhuangyuan at the age of 20, he directly followed his father and became a Ming army of the Eight Classics.
Although he was a soldier, Wu Sangui did not have the firm position of a soldier at all. In the last year of Chongzhen, Zhu Youjian pinned all his hopes on Wu Sangui, who had a heavy army outside Guanwai, but when Wu Sangui was still hesitating, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, attacked Yanjing, and the Ming Dynasty was destroyed.
Seeing that the Savior was hopeless, coupled with the strong and strong soldiers of li zicheng, he was far from being an opponent. Wu Sangui actually defected to the Qing army outside guanwai, hoping to rely on them to complete his own power. However, shortly after the Qing army entered the customs, Wu Sangui was also liquidated by Kangxi.
The second in line should be Yingbu, this person may not be very familiar to everyone. He was a subordinate of Xiang Yu, the king of Western Chu, and initially followed Xiang Liang. Later, because Xiang Liang was Xiang Yu's uncle, and Xiang Yu's anti-Qin campaign was the most powerful at that time, they merged together under Xiang Yu.
Yingbu has good military talent and skills, but he and Xiang Yu have a very similar personality, and both are thorns. Especially after winning several battles and being crowned as the Queen of Jiujiang by Xiang Yu, she was no longer jealous of Xiang Yu and repeatedly quarreled with Xiang Yu.
Liu Bang also took the opportunity to send Sui He to plot against Yingbu, and the simple-minded Yingbu was persuaded to become Liu Bang's undercover in Xiang Yu's army. In the end, when Liu Bang took the Chu-Han War of Hegemony and unified the Han Dynasty, Yingbu was also named the King of Huainan.
However, any monarch with a little political common sense knows that this kind of two-minded traitor must not be reused, and today he can be sentenced to the original master, and tomorrow he may betray you. Therefore, in 196 BC, Liu Bang casually found a reason to kill Yingbu.
The first to rank naturally is lü Bu, the "three surname household slaves" in the Three Kingdoms period. He dared to call the second, no one dared to call the first. Although Lü Bu's bravery was rumored by posterity to be a god, and he was even named the god of war, he never whitewashed the fact that he was a traitor.
He first served as a knight lieutenant under The Prefecture Assassin Shi Dingyuan, and later switched to Dong Zhuomen to kill Ding Yuan, and even defeated Dong Zhuo as his righteous father. However, Dong Zhuo did not stay here for long, and later Situ Wang Yun used the mink cicada to seduce his soul, causing him and Dong Zhuo to turn against each other, and finally killed his father with his own hands.
However, for a rebel general like Lü Bu, our neighbor Japan has a very high evaluation of him, and in their view, Lü Bu's constant change of camp is just a struggle for his own destiny, which is worthy of respect.
They not only regard Lü Bu as a hero, but also beautify him in various games and film and television dramas as a loyal and courageous warrior, which really makes our people scratch their heads. However, it is not surprising that Japan was able to destroy Tianliang and commit atrocities against our country during World War II, and it is not surprising that Lü Bu was regarded as a hero.
