"A strong man is not dead, and if he dies, he will raise a big name, and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning!" With the roar of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the vigorous peasant revolt at the end of Qin broke out, and then the rebel army sprung up like mushrooms.
The spark of a star can burn the plains, let alone a raging fire that burns through half of the sky? This fire has been swept into the "five steps on the first floor, ten steps and one pavilion; the corridor waist is back, and the eaves are high and the teeth are high", and the Great Qin River and Mountains are burned clean. But the question is, why was there no Chen Sheng's name when the army was raised to attack Xianyang, and when the Chu and Han dynasties fought in the later period, there was no Chen Sheng? Of course, nothing else happened, because in the year of the uprising, he was killed by his own coachman.
In July 209 BC, a group of Zhengfu who had gone to guard Yuyang were delayed in the Osawa Township generation due to heavy rainfall. Speaking of Dazexiang, this place is quite magical, Liu Bang and his mother's divine dragon dream is also here, and Liu Bang's snake-slaying uprising is also here. Well, the topic is not far away, let's continue to talk back to Chen Sheng.
Qin's laws were harsh, and if Zhengfu did not arrive at the designated place on time, he would lose his head; even if it was because of the torrential rain, even if it was a cause, he would inevitably be punished. Anyway, it is not good to go to Shushou, the uprising is good and good, the good villains can still live a few days of good life, under the comparison of the two, Chen Sheng found another tun commander Wu Guang, together with the "fish belly book collection" to create a momentum for themselves, and took the initiative to create a conflict to kill the two Qin officials guarding them, gather more than 900 recruits, and unveil the pole.
As soon as this first large-scale peasant uprising broke out in Chinese history, it was immediately echoed by the people, and everyone hated qin law and cruelty, so in a short period of time, Chen Sheng's army connected to five counties, and after occupying Chen County, he established himself as king, the regime named "Zhang Chu", Chen County was its capital, and Wu Guang, who revolted together, was named a false king.
But like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, when the people who occupied the ruling class gained power, they turned around and oppressed the internal masses, and Chen Sheng was like this. In addition, after all, they are only peasants, and they can win the early victory with a sense of anger, but it does not mean that they can always gain power without planning, without courtiers, and without generals.
Because Wu Guang sent an army to the west but attacked Xingyang for a long time, Chen Sheng sent another Zhou Wen to lead a large army to take Hangu directly, who knew that he directly encountered the hundreds of thousands of prisoners led by Zhang Handan to build the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang on Lishan Mountain, and was killed to the point of falling into the water, and Zhou Wen apologized for his sins. After Zhou Wen's death, Wu Guang was also killed by Tian Zang under the pretext of Chen Sheng's orders due to his disagreement with Tian Zang, and the two large armies were completely destroyed.
After Chen Sheng was proclaimed queen, his hometown had compatriots come to join him, and he didn't know until he was stopped halfway through, and then he pretended to recognize the other party. Chen Sheng's arrogance gradually alienated the rebel army internally, and the deaths of Wu Guang and Zhou Wen made him lose most of his power, and the Haojie who gathered around him left one after another, and the Qin army seized the opportunity to attack Chen Sheng, Chen Sheng was powerless to resist and collapsed.
In December 209 BC, Chen Sheng was forced by the Qin army to go to XiachengFu, and planned to start again, but was unexpectedly killed by his own coachman Zhuang Jia. Zhuang Jia followed Chen Sheng for several months, and was originally very convinced of Chen Sheng, but as Chen Sheng became more and more inflated, he also made Zhu Fang and Hu Wu supervise everyone's faults, and the degree of harshness was no less than that of qin; coupled with the qin dynasty general Zhang Handan's promise of heavy gold, there was a scene where Zhuang Jia killed Chen Sheng.
In just half a year, Chen Sheng began with the people's hearts, but in the end he still lost the hearts of the people.
