Why, in ancient times, as long as the general rebelled, the soldiers would also follow the rebellion? For ordinary soldiers, even if the rebellion is successful, they can only get one or two acres of thin land at most, and the benefits are not great, and if they fail, they will not only be killed, but also be "Yi San" and "Nine Tribes". Compared with the two, the cost of failure is too high. Instead of this, when the leader wants to rebel, the soldier's direct run is not enough, why should he follow the risk. In fact, it is still a problem of poor information.
In ancient times, when imperial power was supreme, the status of the emperor was supreme, and if there was open opposition, it was rebellion. It is not only morally condemned, but also highly risky. Normally, very few people would venture. This means that the rebellious civilian and military generals will lose a large number of supporters. It is likely that the courtiers could not find their accomplices and helpers; the military generals could not move the food and grass of the soldiers and horses.
Therefore, when those civilian and military generals rebelled in ancient times, they would make up a good reason for themselves. The coup d'état of his Chinese subjects was generally Zen concession, and the puppet emperor was either unwell or unworthy of the throne, and eventually abdicated and abdicated. This was the case with people like Cao Pi, Sima Yan, Yang Jian, and others. More crucially, they had to repeatedly resign before they zen renunciated. In this way, he actually did not want to be an emperor and had always been loyal subjects. The reason why I have received this heavy responsibility is entirely for the sake of the world' life, which is really too wronged.
As for the military generals, most of them are "Qing Jun's side", which means that the emperor has traitors around him, who have been deceived, and need them to raise troops to rescue them. For example, in the Rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms of the Western Han Dynasty, the banner raised by the princes was "Chao Chao," and as a result, the Han Jing Emperor cut off all the mistakes, and the princes still did not make a mistake; the Eastern Jin Dynasty King Dun raised an army under the name of "revenge against the traitorous minister Liu Kui". As a result, after he occupied the capital city of Jiankang, he did not leave directly. There was also the An Shi Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, and An Lushan claimed that he was ordered to fight against the rebellious minister Yang Guozhong. Later, Yang Guozhong was killed by the rebels at Ma Songyi, and An Lushan still did not give up.
We all know that whether it is abdicating the throne and letting the sages or the Qing jun side, it is actually an excuse. But at that time, the people of the world did not necessarily understand the inside story, the ancient information was very closed, and many people may not know what is on the other side of the mountain for a lifetime. So, in that era, it was easy to play with a little bit of information difference. Secondly, in ancient times, soldiers often only knew the general, but not the emperor. In ancient times, communication was not developed, just as the so-called "mountain high emperor far away", the soldiers in the army basically did not have the opportunity to see the emperor in their lifetime, naturally there was no closeness, and under the ancient military system, the orders obeyed by the soldiers and the salaries they received were from the generals, and the generals who got along day and night were also generals, to put it bluntly, the life of the family was also closely related to the decisions of the generals, and the feelings for the generals were naturally much closer than those of the emperor who was high above.
In addition, there is another point, that is, involuntarily. For example: For example, if you are a small leader of the army, the general suddenly summoned you, saying that there is a prince who has rebelled and has taken the emperor hostage, and we are going to rush into the palace to save the emperor, so you start to attack the palace, and halfway through the fight, you suddenly find that the emperor is fine, you are the anti-thief, is it useful for you to surrender at this time? Even if you have no intention of rebelling in your heart, but your behavior is already in rebellion, won't the people who surrender will not kill you? Rebellion is to curse the Nine Tribes, but if you take the Imperial City, you are from the dragon, a lifetime of glory and wealth, do you have any other way to choose? Surely not, you will only become the most thorough anti-thief.
