Emperor Liang cleaned up his country's 70,000 soldiers in "Langya Bang", if this is the case, what will be the consequences?
Emperor Liang cleared the 70,000 soldiers in his own team, which is a number that cannot be ignored. Behind these 70,000 soldiers, there are 70,000 families, which directly affect the lives of 400,000 people.
Their influence is not limited to the military, but also involves 70 wealthy families in their country. There are at least 600 mid-ranking generals, all of whom have played an important role in the army and are an important part of the country's military power.
Any of them are in the top 10 in any county, and their family relationships are intricate, deeply rooted in their hometowns, forming a powerful force.
An army of 70,000 soldiers, the horses, weapons, baggage, and logistical resources required are huge expenses, and if realized in reality, it is enough to destroy the economic foundation of thousands of imperial merchant families.
These expenses are based on detailed historical records and can be used as a reference.
The author of the online article seems to ignore that the implementation of a large-scale military operation needs to take into account not only tactics and strategies, but also the relationship between the top leaders, the thoughts and feelings of the soldiers, and the entanglement of interests behind it.
In this author's vision, all characters are seen as robots, devoid of emotion and humanity, which is obviously incomplete. In reality, war can not be decided by relying solely on individual wisdom and force, but more importantly, it is the interweaving of political, economic, and other factors.
Therefore, whether it is the Son of Heaven of Liang or other historical figures, they need to take into account all relevant factors in order to make the right decisions.
If you have selfish desires and always want to monopolize everything, even the supreme ruler will eventually rebel against your relatives. On the contrary, if you can promote benevolent governance, even in remote mountainous areas, you will be admired and supported by people.
In reality, a wise leader will take care of the problems of his army, and even a powerful monarch like Han Gaozu will not purge them easily.
Successive emperors often eliminated only the head of the forces that posed a threat to the imperial power, and did not involve innocent soldiers. Historically, it took a huge price to settle an armed force of 70,000 soldiers.
For example, it is necessary to clear the army under the jurisdiction of Li Guang of the Western Han Dynasty 7 times, the army under the jurisdiction of Li Ling 10 times, the entire Western Military Region 2 times, the Jingzhou Corps of the Three Kingdoms 3 times, the Shu army of the Northern Expedition 1 time, and the Jin army of the Southern Dynasty resisting Fu Jian 1 time.
Therefore, it was the wisest choice for the emperor to get rid of the head.
Female frequency online writers, the degree of mastery of military knowledge is worrying. 90 per cent of them do not know the concept of "army", 80 per cent do not understand the meaning of "clearance", 50 per cent have a vague concept of "70,000", and 30 per cent do not even know what "their own country" means.
