The peasant war at the end of Qin Dynasty is also called peasant uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty. At the end of Qin Dynasty, peasant uprisings broke out all over the country, which was the first nationwide peasant uprising in the history of China.

Dazexiang Uprising
After the uprising, the rebels first captured Qixian, and then the soldiers were divided into two ways: Chen Guang ordered R&F (now northeast of Suzhou, Anhui Province) to attack the east of Qixian; Chen Sheng led the main force to the west and successively captured Luo (now southwest of Suzhou, Anhui Province), Yan (now west of Yongcheng, Henan Province), Zhe (now north of Zhecheng County, Henan Province) and Qiao (now Bozhou, Anhui Province).
Along the way, the people who suffered from Qin for a long time joined the rebel army. By the time we reached the vicinity of Chen County (now Huaiyang, Henan Province), the rebels had six or seven hundred chariots, more than a thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of people.
The insurgents established the "Zhang Chu" regime in Chen Jian, and Chen Sheng was elected as the king. The establishment of Zhang Chu regime promoted the climax of the national anti-Qin struggle. Farmers all over the country killed the Dragon Officer in response to Chen Sheng, and Chen Sheng divided troops in all directions with Chen as the center to expand the influence of the revolutionary regime.
County magistrate Chen is Wang.
Chenjun was the county seat of Chenjun in Qin Dynasty and an important city at that time. After the rebels occupied Chen County, Chen Sheng and the local people were summoned to discuss important matters with the heroes. People and heroes advised Chen Sheng to be king, so Chen Sheng was crowned king with the title "Zhang Chu" (meaning Chu State, some people think it is a title, others think it is a slogan). After the news of Chen Sheng Uprising and King-claiming came out,
Therefore, Chen Sheng decided to attack Qin from the west, north and south with the main force of the Western Expedition, in order to attack Qin and expand his power: Chen Sheng appointed Guangwu as the fake king (fake agent) and supervised the generals to attack Xingyang, an important part of Qin (now the northwest of Zhengzhou), opening the way for tackling key problems in China and Xianyang; He also ordered Luo (now southwest of Suzhou, Anhui Province) to stay in the southwest and attack Nanyang County (now Nanyang City, Henan Province) in order to attack Guanzhong through Wuguan.
Chen, Shao sister-in-law, were ordered to northern expedition Zhao, and were ordered to northern expedition Wei. Deng Zong, a native of Ruyin (now Fuyang, Anhui Province), was ordered to attack Jiujiang County in the south. Prior to this, Ying Ge attacked Ying Ge, east of Qixian County. After capturing Dongcheng (now southeast of Dingyuan County, Anhui Province), private Chu Xiangqiang became the king of Chu. Later, when Ying Ge heard that Chen Jun of Shengzai Chen was king, he killed Xiang Qiang and came back.
Failure of the western expedition
Xingyang is an important town in the Central Plains. The army of Guangwu's Western Expedition is at the gate of Xingyang, and Li You (son of Li Si), the chief of Sanchuan County in Qin Dynasty, is guarding Xingyang. With the strength of the city, Guangwu could not control the city, and Xingyang could only be surrounded and the two sides were deadlocked. So Chen Sheng appointed Zhou Wen (also known as the sage of Chen County) as the general, and made a western expedition to the State of Qin, bypassing Xingyang and expanding all the way to Hanguguan (.
In September of the first year of Qin Ershi, Zhou Wen advanced into the war zone (now Lintong East, Shaanxi Province) and stationed troops. Qin Ershi was rewarded, but it was better to dispatch troops. So he pardoned the criminals and slaves in Lishan, gave them to Zhang Han, a junior official, to resist the defeat of Zhou Wen and Zhou Wen, withdrew from Hangu Pass, and stayed in Cao Yang (now northeast of Lingbao, Henan) for two or three months. Zhang Han led Qin Jun to pursue.
After Zhou Wenjun's defeat, Tian Cang, the general of Chu army who besieged Xingyang, and others discussed: "After Zhou Wen's defeat, Qin Jun will come, and our army has not captured Xingyang. When Qin Jun arrives, our army will be defeated. It is better to send a few soldiers to monitor Qin Jun, who besieged Xingyang, and meet Qin Jun, who led a good soldier eastward. Today, the fake Wang Guangwu is arrogant and doesn't know how to fight, so he can't discuss with him. If he doesn't kill him, I'm afraid he will be defeated.
As a result, several generals lied that they were ordered by Chen Sheng, killed Guangwu and dedicated their heads to Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng acknowledged the fait accompli and sent an envoy to give Tian Cang the seal of Lingyin (Chu called it Prime Minister Lingyin), making him a general of the whole army. Then, Tian Cang ordered Li Gui and other generals to continue to monitor the besieged Qin Jun in Xingyang City, and led his elite soldiers to Aocang (now northwest of Zhengzhou, Henan Province) to meet Qin Jun in Zhang Han.
Zhang Han invaded Xingyang, defeated the Chu army led by Li Gui, and killed Li Gui and others.
Chen Sheng was defeated.
Yangcheng people Deng said that he led an army stationed in Tan (now jia county, Henan Province, the original history book "Tan", now Tancheng, Shandong Province, should be a mistake), and was defeated by another general of Qin. Deng said that his troops fled back to Chen County, and Luo (now southwest of Suzhou, Anhui Province) led an army stationed in Xu (now Henan Province).
After Zhang Han defeated Wu Xu of Xu Jun, he attacked Chen Jun, and Cai Ci, the (title) of Shangzhu State (the name of the highest military attache of Chu State), died. Then, Zhang Han attacked Zhang He, the Chu army west of Chen County, and Chen Sheng personally went out of the city to bid. As a result, the Chu army was defeated and Zhang He died.
In December of the second year of Qin Ershi, Chen Sheng retreated to Ruyin (now Fuyang, Anhui Province) and later defected to his father in Xiacheng (now southeast of Guoyang County, Anhui Province). Zhuang Jia, his driver, defected, killed Chen Sheng and surrendered to Qin Jun. After his death, Chen Sheng was buried in Dangshan (now south of Dangshan County, Anhui Province), the recluse king of posthumous title.
After Chen Sheng's death, Lv Chen, his former valet and general, organized an army (Cangtou Army) wearing police tactical unit, which rose from Xinyang (now north of Jieshou County, Anhui Province), captured Chen Jun in the north, killed Zhuang Jia, and brought Chen Jun back under the control of Chu Army. At this time, Song Liujun of Chen Sheng's Western Expedition has occupied Nanyang County.
But when I heard that Chen Sheng was dead, Liu Song was terrified. Wanxian County was recaptured by Qin Jun, and it was no longer possible to go west to Wuguan. So he went east to Xincai (now Xincai, Henan), met Qin Jun, and Liu Song led the army to surrender. The Qin Dynasty escorted Liu Song to Xianyang and executed him.
After Chen county was recovered, the left and right armies attacked Chen again, and they were defeated, but he still packed up and prepared to start again. He joined forces with the thieves in Poyang (now the northeast of Poyang County, Jiangxi Province) and fought back against the left and right commanders, breaking Qingbo (now the southwest of Xincai County, Henan Province) and bringing Chen County under the control of the Chu army again. At this time, Xiang Liang also named Xiong Xin King of Chu.
Chen Sheng claimed that the King was dead. Although it was only half a year ago, his anti-Qin uprising had burst its banks and was unstoppable. The Qin Dynasty was eventually enfeoffed by Chen Sheng and its vassals were destroyed, which was the result of Chen Sheng's first uprising.
