This is a story about the peasant uprising led by Chen Sheng and Guangwu at the end of Qin Dynasty. The peasant uprising at the end of Qin Dynasty led by Chen Sheng and Guangwu was the first nationwide peasant war in the history of China. At the end of the Warring States period, after years of annexation war, the situation of vassal separatism was replaced by the unified Qin Dynasty. However, after Qin Shihuang annexed the six countries, he did not pay attention to rest with the people, stabilize the society and restore the economy. During the war of annexation, he had the architectural styles of the palaces of the Six Kingdoms drawn, copied in Xianyang, reaching 200 to 300, and built a large-scale Epang Palace and a luxurious Lishan Mausoleum. Others, such as building the Great Wall, repairing the Equator Road, and sending troops to crusade against Xiongnu and South Vietnam, have played a positive role in consolidating national unity. However, due to the long-term consumption of a lot of human and financial resources, it not only increased the burden on the people, but also made farmers too busy to engage in production, which seriously damaged social and economic life, resulting in a situation of "men's farming is not enough to eat, and women's spinning is not enough to cover up". At the same time, the rulers of the Qin dynasty also enacted cruel laws with severe punishments. People often violated criminal laws, with hundreds of thousands and millions of criminals and prisoners. The people of the former six eastern countries suffered more. In the later years of Qin Shihuang's rule, the resistance of the broad masses of the people continued to occur, and the remnants of the nobles of the six countries also took the opportunity to carry out anti-Qin activities. In the 29th year (2 18), Qin Shihuang was attacked by an assassin when he was crossing Bolangsha (now northwest of Zhongmou, Henan). In thirty-six years, a meteorite landed in Dong Jun, and someone carved the words "the first emperor died and divided the world" on the stone to carry out anti-Qin propaganda.

Qin Ershi Hu Hai acceded to the throne after Qin Shihuang died of illness in the sand dunes. He appointed Zhao Gao to rebuild Epang Palace. He recruited 50,000 troops to guard Xianyang, making him "more legal", with strict supervision and deeper usage. The result is that "criminals are half in the road, and the dead are in the city." Many old ministers of Qin Shihuang and Qin imperial clan were killed because of Zhao Gao's framing, and the contradictions within the ruling class became increasingly acute. By the end of the second year, there was a social crisis. "The ministers' admonishers thought it was slander, the officials stood their ground, and their fears were aroused at the first time."

In July of the first year of Qin Ershi (209 BC), 900 people were stationed in Yuyang, with Chen Sheng and Guangwu as commanders. Bobby Chen (? Word ~ 208) refers to Yangcheng (now southwest of Henan Shangshui), and he worked as a servant in his early years. Guangwu (? Uncle ~ 208), a native of Yang Xia (now Taikang, Henan), was also a poor peasant. They arrived in osawa Township (now the southeast of Su County, Anhui Province), and were delayed by heavy rain. According to Qin law, if it expires, it will be beheaded. Chen Sheng launched a garrison uprising with the tactics of "a fish full of Dan" and "Fokko", and put forward the slogan of "Great Chu Prosperity, Chen". Chen Sheng encouraged the guards to say, "When a strong man dies, he is himself. If he dies, he will raise his name and the prince will have seeds! " So he established himself as a general, took Guangwu as his surname, and called on the masses to revolt in the name of Fuxi, the eldest son of Qin Shihuang, and Xiang Yan, the general of Chu.

The insurgents quickly captured Qixian (now south of Suxian, Anhui Province). Chen Sheng sent Ying Ge to lead the troops eastward, and at the same time occupied □ (now southwest of Suxian County, Anhui Province) with the main force. □ (now Yongcheng West, Henan), (now Luyidong, Henan), Zhe (now Zhecheng North, Henan) and other counties. The broad masses of peasants "cut firewood for soldiers and uncover poles as flags" and actively participated in the uprising team. When the rebels entered Chen County (now Huaiyang, Henan Province), there were tens of thousands of infantry, more than a thousand cavalry and six or seven hundred vehicles. Chen Sheng called on the old heroes of the local people to discuss big plans. After and after, Wei's celebrities advised him to establish six countries in order to win the support of the old nobles. Chen Sheng didn't listen, became king on his own, made him a fake king, led the army to attack Xingyang in the west, ordered Zhao in the north, Deng Zongnan conquered Jiujiang, and Zhou seized Wei in the city. The establishment of Zhang Chu regime promoted the climax of the nationwide anti-Qin struggle. Suffering from Qin politics for a long time, people everywhere killed Qin officials in succession and responded to Chen Sheng.
