The history of mankind is a history of war, and war is the most terrible disaster for mankind. In all wars, there is an unjust side, but almost all the participants in the war consider themselves to be the "righteous" side, and there are some war initiators, in order to cover up their true purposes, to find a "very just" reason for the war, so that the war they start appears justified and their soldiers are willing to die for themselves.
However, in the wars in history, there are times when you can't find a suitable reason, since you can't tell your true purpose, you can only find a random excuse to start a war, which is better than nothing or tell the truth, so there are strange war excuses and reasons in history. Today's article is purely for fun, if it is not written rigorously, please forgive me.
At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, in Beiliang, on the border between Wu and Chu, two hard-working girls were picking mulberry leaves, one of them was from Chu and the other was from Wu. Because the tree grows on the border, both men said that it was a mulberry tree in their own country, and in order to fight for the mulberry leaves on this mulberry tree, the two girls had a verbal altercation, and then the conflict escalated, and the two men started a fight.
Since it was a fight, naturally some people suffered losses, and some people were naked, but the result was that the girl from Chu State did not win, was injured, and ran back to complain crying. The parents of the girl in Chu saw that their girl was being bullied, and they were willing to endure it, and immediately took someone to find the other party to theorize, but the other party's attitude was very tough, he didn't admit his mistake at all, and he spoke very arrogantly.
This time it was the turn of the people of the Wu State to quit, and they gathered a group of people and killed all the people who beat people in the Chu State. When the local parents and officials of Chu learned about it, they were furious, saying that the people of Wu were too bold to attack our territory and kill people on our territory. So he immediately sent troops to take revenge and killed all the people in that village in Chu State.
When the king of Wu learned the news, he was furious, and ordered to send troops to attack the county seat of Chu that caused the dispute, and after the capture, he also ordered the slaughter of the city, which was originally a seemingly small thing, but it turned out to be like a butterfly effect, attracting the swords and soldiers of the two countries to meet each other, causing the common people to suffer miserably.
Qi Huangong, one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period, once went boating on the lake with his beloved wife Cai Ji, which was originally a very romantic thing, but this Cai Ji may have been lively by nature, and he was interested in the boat and shook the boat from side to side.
Qi Huangong is a northerner, and it is okay to sit on a steady boat, but the boat was shaken by his wife, and Qi Huangong was so frightened that he hurriedly grabbed the boat gang and loudly ordered Cai Ji to stop shaking the boat. And Cai Ji saw that the usually majestic Qi Huan Gong was so scared at the moment, and her heart blossomed, not only did she not stop, but she shook even more, and Qi Huan Gong grabbed the boat gang tightly and didn't dare to move.
After the ship finally docked easily, Qi Huan Gong finally stopped the fear in his heart and showed an angry expression, while Cai Ji behind him was still smiling.
But soon Cai Ji couldn't laugh, because Duke Qi Huan sent Cai Ji back to her mother's house because of this scandal, which was a very serious matter in ancient times, although the etiquette was not so serious in the Spring and Autumn Period, but this incident was enough to disgrace her mother's family. Sure enough, Cai Ji's family felt that it was a shame for their daughter to be returned, and in a fit of anger, they married their daughter to someone else.
Qi Huangong's original intention was to go back and let the old man educate him, and then send it back, but he waited for a long time, but he didn't see anyone, so he sent someone to inquire, it didn't matter if he inquired, he was so angry that Qi Huangong was choked enough, I didn't say no, you actually married my wife to someone else, how can you bear it.
Qi Huan Gong felt that he had been greatly insulted, so he transferred the Eight-Nation Coalition Army, which was preparing to attack the Chu State, to the Cai State, and defeated his father-in-law first, which was a war caused by a very common frolic between the husband and wife.
In 1096 AD, there was a war between the Jurchen tribes in the northeast, and the Wanyan tribe and the Sushilie tribe began to fight because of interests, but the Sushilie tribe lost, and his chieftain A Shu ran to the Liao State to seek the protection of the Liao State. The Wanyan tribe then rushed to the Liao State and asked the Liao State for people, but the Liao State refused to hand over the people and ordered the Wanyan tribe to retreat. Because the Liao State was very strong at that time, and the strength of the Jurchen tribe was not good, the Wanyan tribe had to retreat.
In 1114 A.D., the full-fledged Jurchen tribe went to the Liao State to ask for A Shu who was taken in by the Liao State, but the Liao State still refused to call anyone, so the leader of the Jurchen tribe Wanyan Agu beat the Liao State for not handing over the great crime of A Shu, and sacrificed to heaven and earth, and raised troops to attack the Liao State.
Since then, the Jin State and the Liao State have fought for more than ten years, and every time there is a war, the Jin State has to ask the Liao State for the person A Shu, and the Liao State also feels that this person is very important and refuses to hand over the person. It wasn't until after the collapse of the Liao State that the Jin State finally caught Ah Shu, originally the two countries fought for more than ten years because of this person, if they got their wish, they must give a five-horse corpse, a thousand knives and the like, otherwise how can they be worthy of this ten-year war!
But Jin Guo's operation shocked everyone's jaws, and they just lightly slapped Ah Shu a few big boards, and released the !!The operation of the Jin Guoren perfectly explains what is the excuse for war, it seems that it does not matter what the excuse is, "I want to hit you" is the most important.
King Louis VII of France is known as the "beautiful beard" because of his beautiful beard, he married the daughter of a French duke, and got the dowry of two provinces in the south of France.
In 1152 A.D., for unknown reasons, Louis VII suddenly became so dissatisfied with his beards that he hated them so much that he shaved them clean. His wife was very dissatisfied, and found her beardless husband to look very ugly, so the two quarreled, but Louis VII firmly refused to grow a beard, so she divorced him.
Originally, divorce was not a big deal for a king, but after divorcing him, his wife married King Henry II of England and asked Louis VII to give Henry II the two provinces that his previous wife had married. Louis VII naturally would not agree to such an "unreasonable demand", so Henry II sent troops to seize the dowry by force.
The war lasted for 301 years, and it was not until 1453 that the two countries announced reconciliation, at which point the war-fighters had forgotten what caused the war in the first place.
In fact, all wars in the world are for profit, but in order to cover up this true idea, we have to give some strange or seemingly righteous reasons, from ancient times to the present.
In a light-hearted and humorous tone, this article vividly and interestingly portrays some of the historical absurd justifications for war, drawing the reader into a cheerful and laughing atmosphere. Through delicate textual descriptions, the author succeeds in showing some seemingly nonsensical causes of war in human history, while also hinting at the ridiculous nature of war.
First of all, the story of the Mulberry Leaf War is laughable, and two girls start a fierce war between the two countries because of a mulberry tree. This kind of trivial matter has evolved into a contradiction between countries because of misunderstandings and disputes, which fully reflects the stupidity of human beings who may have to persevere to the end because of the problem of face when faced with trivial things.
The war caused by the play of husband and wife takes a skirmish between Qi Huan and his wife as the starting point, and depicts how a farce between husband and wife can turn into a conflict between countries through exaggerated techniques. This depiction of national events triggered by individual problems is both humorous and profound, and makes people think about the absurdity of human nature.
The story of Ah Shu highlights the endless wars fought by some countries for the sake of their supposed honor, and the terrible price paid for fighting for one person through the long war that broke out between the Jurchen tribe and the Liao state over a single person. This reflects the fictional nature of some wars and the ridiculousness of people's willingness to sacrifice huge interests in the face of war in order to save face.
Finally, the Beard War is based on the 301 Year War of King Louis VII of France over beard problems. This absurd scene magnifies the excessive pursuit of beauty and vanity at the national level, and one can't help but cry and laugh at the war that people are waging for the smallest things.
Through vivid descriptions and exaggerations, the whole article conveys to the reader in a light-hearted tone a deep reflection on the absurdity of human nature. At the same time, through the narration of some strange wars in history, it reminds people to reflect on the root causes of wars, so that readers can also feel a deep reflection on human history in laughter.
