Under severe punishment and oppression, people's lives are overwhelmed. Finally, in the third year of Hu Hai's rule, Chen Guang stepped forward and waved flags, and the world responded in succession, which opened the prelude to overthrowing the unified Qin State.
According to historical records, Chen Sheng's words are related to the adherents of Chu.
In 209 BC, Chen Sheng led a group of able-bodied men who missed the time to defend the border because of continuous rain. According to Qin law, it is a capital crime to behead. It was born to die anyway. After some planning, Chen Sheng simply led more than 900 people to revolt in osawa Township, becoming the pioneer who led the peasant uprising for the first time in history.
At first, Chen Sheng and others took advantage of people's reverence for the gods and spirits of heaven and earth to find someone to read divination, and wrote "Chen" on silk books and put it in the belly of fish, so as to confuse the people and create the atmosphere of rebel leaders.
Later, Liu Bang's White Snake Uprising, known as Chi Di Zi, was also learned from Chen Sheng and had the same effect. Only the latter is more mysterious, higher and more confusing.
At the same time, in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, Chu still had great influence. Due to historical reasons, after Qin unified the six countries, Chu people were brutally persecuted. Therefore, the Chu people and the Qin Dynasty forged a deep hatred. "Although there are three families in Chu, Qin will perish" is deeply rooted in everyone's heart in Chu.
Shortly after the uprising, Chen Sheng, with the help of this powerful spiritual force, called on the adherents of Chu to conquer some important counties, became king in Chenjun and established the Zhang Chu regime.
According to Records of the Historian, "If you want to expand the State of Chu, it is called Zhang Chu", and Chen Sheng takes the revival of the State of Chu as his own responsibility, so it is called "King Zhang Chu".
Some people think that Bobby Chen and Guangwu, as farmers' leaders, have no culture and ambition, but they are not.
When he was young, Chen Sheng said to those who laughed at him, "Swallows know the ambition of swans!" This detail reflects from the side that Bobby Chen is an ideal and ambitious person.
During the uprising, Chen Sheng was the leader who led the able-bodied men. After the Gan Jie Uprising, Chen Shengshen recruited a large number of military advisers, and celebrities such as Zhang Er, Chen Yu and Confucius also defected.
A group of people of insight began to carry out organized, planned and prepared rebellion, which once made the rulers of Qin state panic.
Chen Sheng's uprising slogan is: "A prince would rather have seeds!" Domineering and heroic. This resounding slogan hit people's hearts and played a good publicity effect. Rebels from all walks of life in the country responded in succession, and princes and nobles from all walks of life returned to China in succession. However, powerful people from all walks of life gathered together to slay the generals of the Qin county magistrate and set out in succession. I don't know how many people in the world are kings
The peasant uprising led by Chen Sheng, like a single spark, exploded the whole land of China. The destruction of Qiang Qin really happened among the population.
The following story is a bit bloody, and the world disputes are out of control. Although Chen Sheng was the king, his generals went their own way and set wild horses on the Western Expedition. Without discipline, Bobby Chen was a little overwhelmed when he started to take control.
As the saying goes, war is not a child's play, but a comprehensive strength. After all, the mighty Qin Jun is not a decoration. Eventually, the rebels were suppressed by Qin Jun.
Chen Sheng, who had been "King Zhang Chu" for half a year, was killed by his driver Zhuang Jia on his way back, and the uprising ended in failure.
However, the fire of Bobby Chen's uprising did not go out. After Chen Sheng's death, the Liu Xiangyu gang quickly staged a comeback and continued his cause of overthrowing Qiang Qin. After some fighting, under the leadership of Xiang Yu, the Qin Dynasty was really overthrown. After that, Xiang Yu and Liu Bang fought for five years.
Although the Chen Sheng Uprising ended in failure and lasted for a short time, it was of great historical significance as the first large-scale peasant uprising. At that time, Liu Bang, as a rising rebel leader, proclaimed himself emperor and made Chen Sheng a "hidden king" to commemorate his contribution.
In Sima Qian's view, although Chen Sheng was only a farmer and had been king for several months, he was a respectable figure. Therefore, in Historical Records of Chen She Family, he listed Chen Sheng as a general, and together with Confucius, Gou Jian, Chen Ping and Xiao He, he fully affirmed his historical achievements, which is also a rare example in history.
