In ancient times, all the actions of soldiers were only obeyed by the person holding the "soldier talisman", so there is a question here, the emperor did not recognize only the soldier talisman, and the superior leaders who were greater than the officer holding the talisman did not recognize it, what was the reason.
The general form of the soldier is divided into two halves in the shape of a tiger, which is generally in the hands of the emperor called the "Jun Fu", when the emperor this "Jun Fu" and the "General Fu" in the hands of the generals in charge of the army can mobilize the army.
So if I forge a talisman, or if I rebel when I get it, won't I be able to become emperor? The answer is no.
The manufacture of the first talisman is very sophisticated, with an inscription engraved on it, the two talismans are very consistent, and there is also a holy decree, as well as accompanying officials, "Jun Fu" is really not many people have seen it, let alone fake. The gaps in the talismans, as well as the special patterns, make it difficult for the counterfeiters.
Second, if you get a talisman, you can command the world? Otherwise, eggs will not be put in one basket, and there are so many armies in a country, so they are all divided to manage. There are more than 10 complete military talismans in a country, and if you master one and rebel, then you are the public enemy of the world.
If the military talisman is so important, why do soldiers only recognize the military talisman and not the emperor himself, or the more senior general? First of all, in order to make the country's army mobilization the safest and most convenient, he needs a tool, and this tool is the soldier talisman, and the soldier talisman is an iconic tool.
Secondly, the ancient soldiers did not have a high level of education, and they could not understand the holy decree or any document at all, and many people had never even seen the holy decree. Without an authoritative icon, it is easy for someone to falsely proclaim the decree and thus threaten the state.
Furthermore, how many people have seen the emperor? And how many people have seen high-ranking generals. Since I don't know if the person in front of me is real or not, then how can I deal with it, at this time, you take out the talisman so that I can obey your order.
Finally, it seems that the use of military talismans is very dangerous, but in fact, on the contrary, in order to avoid the selfishness of local generals, the possibility of rebellion is relatively small if the soldiers only recognize the military talismans, and try to avoid the situation that only generals do not recognize the emperor.
With the progress of society, communication is becoming more and more developed, and the cultural level of soldiers has improved, and the military talisman has also withdrawn from use.
