Chen Sheng Uprising and Guangwu Uprising were the first large-scale peasant uprisings in the history of China, which broke out at the end of Qin Dynasty.

In 2 10 BC, Qin Shihuang swam eastward to the sand dunes (now Pingxiang and Guangzong in Hebei Province) and suddenly died of illness. Zhao Gao

Forged the will of Qin Shihuang, forced Prince Fu Su to death, and made Hu Hai, the youngest son of Qin Shihuang, emperor. This is Qin Ershi.

Qin Ershi was a fatuous and cruel emperor. When Qin Shihuang was buried, he ordered all craftsmen to be sealed in the mausoleum.

In the grave. He continued to build Epang Palace and raised a large number of dogs, horses and animals for hunting. The corvee tax burden of ordinary people is heavier.

For severe punishment, the criminal law is becoming more and more severe. At that time, there was a phenomenon in society that "criminals were half in the road and the dead were in the city"

Elephant. Working people are struggling with hunger and death.

In 209 BC, Qin Ershi ordered the recruitment of 900 poor farmers in the Huaihe River basin to defend Yuyang (now Miyun, Beijing).

Among them, Chen Sheng from a peasant family and Guangwu from a poor peasant family were appointed as village heads. July is the rainy season.

Festival.

When they arrived at osawa Township in Qixian County (southwest of Suxian County), continuous rain stopped them here.

Can't arrive at Yuyang garrison as scheduled. Qin law "cut off when it is overdue", and these 900 defenders face death threats.

They were escorted by two county commanders. These two county commanders are cruel to everyone. Just as they collided with each other,

Chen Sheng and Guangwu took the opportunity to kill the county commander. Then I say to you: In case of rainstorm, you are all late, and you will be punished if you are late.

Cut it. Even if they don't kill us, 7C 10 will die in the frontier. In addition, when a strong man dies, he will do something.

A vigorous career! His words inspired the soldiers to fight. These 900 garrisons "cut firewood for soldiers and uncover poles for flags."

Everyone elected Chen Sheng as the general and captain, and put forward the slogan of "killing Qin by cutting the road" to form a peasant army.

Rebels. The first peasant uprising broke out in the history of China.

Chen Sheng, that is, Chen She, Yangcheng (now southwest of Henan Shangshui), was born in a farmhouse;

Guangwu, a native of Yang Xia (now Taikang), is also a farmer. In order to expand their influence, they gathered at the station at night.

A bonfire was lit in the temple, and the foxes sang songs and shouted "Great Chu Xing, Chen", which was passed down as a myth by the people. Bobby Chen, Guangwu.

Led the peasant uprising army, first occupied osawa Township, then captured Qixian County, and soon captured five or six counties. Rebel station

Poor farmers everywhere responded in succession. When the insurgents approached Chen County (now Huaiyang, Henan Province), there were six or seven hundred chariots.

Yes, there are more than 1000 cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry. Chen county is a strategic place, where Chu established its capital in the later period. Bobby Chen, Wu

Light led the insurgents to capture Chen County, and established the "Zhang Chu" regime, with Chen Sheng as king. This is the first time in the history of China.

Peasant revolutionary regime.

Chen county became the center of the national peasant uprising. The rebel army advanced with victory and attacked the state of Qin in three ways. Guangwu is a "fake king",

Strike Xingyang in the west; Chen Wu went north to Zhao Di and attacked Wei Chi of Ren Wei Zhou. Wu Guangwei Xingyang has been unable to attack for a long time. Bobby Chen ordered a novel again.

As a general, he led the way around Xingyang, attacked Guanzhong and breached Hangu Pass. By this time, the insurgents had grown to hundreds of thousands.

There are thousands of personnel carriers.

At this time, Zhang Er and Chen Yu, representatives of the old aristocratic forces who infiltrated into the uprising army, plotted to split the uprising army. they

Chen Sheng didn't see through the plot, so he made Chen Wu the general, and Zhang Er and Chen Yu the left and right captains to lead the way.

In 2000, soldiers crossed the Yellow River to the north. Zhang Er and Chen Yu occupied more than 30 cities by surrendering and reusing Qin officials.

Zhou Wenjun has rapidly developed into a city with hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and entered the Guanzhong (now Lintong, Shaanxi) war zone, approaching step by step.

Xianyang. Qin Ershi was very alarmed when he saw that the rebels had hit near the capital. He quickly sent Shaofu Zhang Han to lead hundreds of thousands of people to Lishan.

The criminal who repaired the tomb met the rebels. At the same time, Wang Li's 300,000 troops came back from the frontier fortress to fight the rebels. Zhou Wen

Although the peasant army he led fought bravely, it lacked training and combat experience because it fought alone. In Qin Jun.

Suddenly attacked, he was defeated and forced to quit Hangu Pass. He was stationed in Cao Yang (Lingbao Cave, Henan Province) and waited for reinforcements.

After Chen Wu occupied Handan, the ancient capital of Zhao, he became the king of Zhao with the encouragement of Zhang Er and Chen Yu. Bobby Chen, for the sake of the big picture,

Reluctantly admit this, and ordered him to lead the army to the west to support Zhou Wen. Zhang Er and Chen Yu not only failed to rescue the peasant army in Zhou Wen, but instead.

Under the regime, Chen Wu was the prince of Zhao, Chen Yu was the general, and Zhang Er was the right prime minister, who did not listen to Chen Sheng. Then, the six countries

The old nobles successively ceded territory to claim the title of king, Hanbitsoft claimed the title of king, and Wei blamed Wang Wei and became the king of Qi. That's it, Bobby Chen,

The rebels led by Guangwu are under attack between Scylla and Charybdis. Zhou Wen led the army to persist in the struggle in Cao Yang for three months and failed many times.

Back to Mianchi. Because the rebels were outnumbered and had no backup, the losses were too great, and Zhou Wen finally committed suicide. Soon,

Guangwu, who besieged Xingyang, was killed by Tian Cang. After Guangwu's death, the morale of the army collapsed. Zhang Han, the general of Qin, led an army to attack Tiancang.

Defeated and killed. Several other insurgents were divided by Qin Jun one after another. In 209 BC, in 65438+February, Zhang Han led the army.

When Chen Jun came, Chen Sheng personally led the rebels to resist. Unfortunately, because of too few troops, I lost to my father in downtown (now

Southeast of Yang Guo, Anhui). At this time, his driver Zhuang Jia assassinated Chen Sheng and surrendered to Qin Jun.

Lv Chen and Chen Sheng's men persisted in their struggle. The "Cangtou Army" led by Lv Chen counterattacked and recovered Chen County twice.

Executed the traitor Zhuang Jia. This insurgent army later joined the insurgent army led by Xiang Yu, Liu Bang and others, and continued to cooperate with Qin Jun.

Fight. In 206 BC, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed under the heavy blow of peasant rebels.

Although the peasant uprising led by Chen Sheng and Guangwu failed, it left a glorious stroke in the history of China.

One page. The peasant army overthrew the Qin Dynasty, hit the landlord class, promoted social progress and opened up ancient China.

The revolutionary road of peasants' resistance to feudal rule. The peasant army established a revolutionary regime in the struggle and created an unprecedented history.

The miracle of history set a shining example for the peasant uprising in later generations.
