The soldiers would freeze to death if they didn't rebel.
But ultimately, it was related to the Grand Secretary diverting some military funds for troop training.
Yet, the Grand Secretary couldn't be entirely blamed for the troop training.
Because this troop training deducted half a percent from the military funds of the Nine Borders, but since it was an actual half-percent, it was earmarked for specific use.
And originally, only one-tenth of the military funds of the Nine Borders reached actual deployment.
So effectively, the Grand Secretary took half a percent, and as a result, it cut down the actual funds by half.
Therefore, for the Governor, Assistant General, and others, it was very unfair. They didn't get a single Copper Coin more than in previous years, yet they all lost their lives.
