Regarding the thoughts of these people, Wang Bo'an saw through them clearly, but he harbored no ill will because of this.
As an excellent commander, he understood the burning desire for victory among his soldiers and officers, which often stemmed from their own inner desires and yearnings. As long as it didn't affect his military plans, it was not only not a bad thing, but actually a good thing.
Hadn't one heard that, during the Pre-Qin period, because rewards and punishments were clear, the old Qin people were joyful at the prospect of battle, and eventually one nation conquered six nations, thereby uniting the world under Heaven and Earth?
Moreover, these officers and soldiers fought to the death, faced life and death; after the successful campaign against the Demon Race, was it excessive for them to seek a Divine Position, to pursue Longevity?
Not excessive at all, not in the least.
