Under the rule of Qin dynasty, the corvee tax burden of ordinary people was heavy, and the criminal law became more and more harsh. Working people are struggling with hunger and death.

In the autumn of 209 BC, more than 900 people, including Chen Sheng and others, were sent to Yuyang to defend the border. On the way, they were blocked by the rainstorm in osawa Township, and could not reach their destination as scheduled. According to the law of the Qin dynasty, you will be beheaded if it expires.

In desperation, Chen Guang led the garrison, killed the commander who escorted the garrison, and launched a mutiny with the slogan "Great Chu Xing, Chen". The insurgents elected Chen Sheng as a general and a captain, and even established the Zhang Chu regime in Chen County in Ozawa Township and Qixian County, and all localities responded in succession.

The historical background of Guangwu Uprising in Chen Sheng;

In order to resist the Huns, Qin Shihuang sent people to build the Great Wall, sent 300,000 troops and collected hundreds of thousands of civilian workers. In order to develop the south, 300,000 soldiers and civilians were mobilized. He also used 700,000 prisoners to start building a huge and luxurious Epang Palace.

When he ascended the throne for the second time, he recruited hundreds of thousands of prisoners and civilian workers from all over the country and built the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor on a large scale. This tomb is very large and deep, melting a lot of copper and pouring it on the foundation, which is covered with stone chambers, tombs and tombs. II also asked craftsmen to dig rivers, lakes and oceans in the tombs and fill them with mercury. And then buried Qin Shihuang there.

After burial, in order to prevent future grave robbers, craftsmen were also required to install killing equipment in the tomb. Finally, all the craftsmen who built the tomb were brutally buried in the tomb, and no one was allowed to come out.

Before the completion of the tomb, II and Zhao Gao continued to build Epang Palace. At that time, the population of China was only 20 million, not including women and children. Almost two or three million people were sent back and forth to build the Great Wall, defend Lingnan, repair Epang Palace and build graves. I don't know how much manpower and financial resources have been spent, which has driven the people to complain.
