War is also a way of resource flow and can be accepted by everyone. Resources can flow from military aristocrats to citizens and to free people. To mobilize more soldiers, resources need to sink.
However, if the resources are subsided, the resource must be supplemented, otherwise the game will not be able to continue.
Bread, bathhouse, and gladiator are the welfare envied by the free people and the reason for the corruption of citizens. In the end, citizens' combat effectiveness became weaker and weaker, and the free people became stronger and stronger. The free people who obtained resources would not listen to the orders of the Senate, but would only obey the orders of the general who led their victory. So Rome entered the era of the four emperors' co-governance.
Both Rome and the Qin Dynasty faced the problem of expansion to the extreme, but Rome was divided, and the Qin Dynasty directly became the Han Dynasty. Eastern Rome chose the Uni-Divine Cult, while the Han Dynasty chose to continue the county system.
War is not necessarily beneficial to the nobles. If the nobles can win by relying on their equipment advantages, that is OK. For example, before the sun does not set, the First World Expo was held. The culture of military aristocrats was popular all over the world, and the culture of gentlemen is desirable. But with the beginning of World War I, European countries began to convene civilians, and the scale of the war became larger and larger. Then the US imperialists mobilized free people and the potential for war reached a higher level.
When the advantages of weapons and equipment are gone, citizens will be summoned. If citizens cannot win, they will mobilize free people. This is what the old Romans did.
The Central Plains also experienced excessive and development of military aristocrats, Wei Wushang, and Qin army. The army also experienced many changes, but it was usually farming and warfare. The farmers with land were the main source of the army. Whether it was military farming, military military system, military households, or the Eight Banners, they were usually farming or hunting, and were responsible for fighting during wars.
But over time, the living conditions of these land-based military families will become worse and worse. If they cannot make money, they will be unhappy and will eventually lose their combat effectiveness. The same is true for military households and the Eight Banners. They are all restricted from doing business or imperial examinations, and their children can only join the army. However, not only does it have no income, but they also have to pay for money, so no one will join the army.
It can be said that someone is doing a profitable business, but no one is asking about losing money. If you can make money by joining the army, you can make money, military farms, military households, and the Eight Banners will not collapse.
But the problem is that it is impossible to make money all the time in war. If you can make money all the time, just keep fighting and making money all the time. Even the great powers after the Industrial Revolution have been declining because of war, let alone agricultural countries.
Since people who are unable to make money in wars, the people who are limited to joining the army naturally cannot stand it.
Of course there is also a strange Song Dynasty. The millions of troops were trained by the people themselves. The Song Dynasty's army went to fight against the rebels, won the reunion, and lost the recruitment. The Song Dynasty did not train the army, but was just the porters of the army. It was entirely the rebels from various places who were able to fight. People who could fight in various places gathered together to revolt. Isn't it a good army?
Roman citizens had the obligation to fight, and had the welfare of citizens: bread, bathhouses, gladiators. Military households and the Eight Banners also had their own obligations, and of course there were also benefits, but they were not citizens, but soldiers’ families.
If the military households and the Eight Banners cannot win, the dynasty will have to change. Because if the people are mobilized in various places, the court will not have so much money. The Hunan Army, Sichuan Army and other training in various places will become warlords and will also become divided.
Because the people live in their hometowns and have no communication with people outside, they must believe in their fellow villagers, rather than believing in the despicable foreigners.
However, the Eastern warlords' melee also demanded the construction of a system that public world is the only one who would not accept the system of Hunan Army and Sichuan Army.
The Roman citizenship system, citizens in all places had to be the bosses and had to occupy absolute dominance. Just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, I was a free citizen of Qi. When I became a Qi person in war, I hope to protect the interests of Qi people. The Zheng people protected the interests of Zheng people...
The Aryans protected the interests of the Aryans, and the Anglos protected the interests of the Anglos... They all wanted to be citizens themselves and others were free people.
When warlords fought in a melee, they had to choose an organization that could represent all regions. Even the Eight Banners could not only represent Manchus, they had to have the Eight Banners of Han and the Lifan Academy. If they only wanted to be citizens and others would not agree, the Eight Banners would not get the authority of the world.
However, the Romans had no idea of ​​publicizing the world. They just needed to get the crown of the pope, and then the citizens were supreme, and the others were free people.
Just like Qi, Chu, Zhao, Wei, Han, Qin and Yan in the Warring States Period, they all believed that they were the most important, and people from other countries were second-class people.
Then you will naturally have to fight, until you are invincible, and until everyone is willing to admit it.
After the Qin and Han dynasties, the great Eastern powers had a county system. Everyone wanted to take power in the world, so that they had to use representatives from various places so that everyone could defend the emperor. Although warlords in different regions were not familiar with them, they could still fight, but the purpose of fighting was to choose a wise king.
The goal of the Western war is to make everyone recognize that they are the boss and that they are not responsible for solving problems. In the Eastern war, they choose a system that everyone can accept. It is okay not to be the boss, but the boss they recognize must be able to solve problems.
Doomsday focuses on finding people with hardships, and the enemy should be bad luck, not people with hardships. Anyone who is the boss must fight against bad luck. Others can fight against it, and you can be your own younger brother.
If you can't fight against bad luck and want to be the boss, don't blame me for being rude, I can do it.
Therefore, the East and the West have similarities, such as the laws of war. When it comes to the point where only the free people can win, it is not far from division. But there are also different places. The main force of the West is citizens; the main force of the East is military households and the Eight Banners. The ultimate goal of the West to fight is to make its citizens the boss, and the ultimate goal of the East to fight is to solve the problem. If anyone fights for himself, he will not get everyone's support and will eventually fail.
Solving problems is good for everyone, and being the boss yourself is good for yourself. For a unified civilization, you must choose the former.
In the era of cyberpunk, the advantages of weapons and equipment appear again. Those who can master weapons will become military aristocrats. Powerful weapons can make the people desperate. Military aristocrats who master military technology are everything.
Fights between military aristocrats are mainstream, but with the development, civilization still needs to mobilize citizens and free people, and this is the process of development.
This is how Greece developed, this is how Rome developed, this is how Anklahoma Saxons developed, and this is how any civilization developed from small to large. Just like a family business expands into a listed company, it is regular.

At the beginning, they had some advantage and used their advantages to kill all sides. But advantages could not always be advantages, so they began to win over their teammates to form power.
With the support of his teammates, he continued to expand externally. Then he expanded to the extreme, encountered various targets and counterattacks, so he began to mobilize free people.
Once the free people rose, the regional forces of all parties became bigger and stronger, resisting the court.
The same is true for religion. When it was very weak at the beginning, it emphasized that only the chosen ones of God were chosen by God. When they could not beat others, God loved the world. After the scope became larger and larger, all regions explained their own teachings, and the Monotheistic religion was divided into different factions.
"Simply put, it is a matter of control. At the beginning, I discovered my advantages, mastered them, and killed all sides. But soon the territory I could control reached its limit and needed help. So I introduced that citizenship first, everyone would help me, I will give you bread, bathhouses, and fight. Then the territory continued to expand, and the challenges of barbarians became more and more intense, and there were not enough citizens. So I let the free people join and become citizens. But once the free people are more powerful, the power is in the hands of warlords from all over the country, and the advantages are also transferred to their hands, so it was divided." Dogusa has been studying history and is now a history professor, knowing that this is the development law from small to large.
