Juvenile ambitions
Chen Shetaixi said: Huh, the bird is safe and knows the ambition of Honghu!
Chen Sheng was a native of Yangcheng, Nanyang County of the Qin Dynasty. He was poor in his childhood and was unable to make a living, so he was hired to someone else's house as a farming servant. One day when I was resting in the field, Wang Tian sighed. The people who worked with him to cultivate the land thought he was sick and asked him what’s wrong. He said: Don’t ask. If one day I can be rich, I will definitely let you enjoy it. , Will not forget you. The
companions all smiled and said: You are the same as us for farming, the same poor and humble, thinking about wealth.
Chen Shengchang sighed and said: The bird's ambition is safe and clear! After speaking, he sighed a few times and took the cow home.
was out of time and gave birth to an anti-intention
In 209 BC, Qin II issued an edict to Yangcheng, demanding that the poor from Luzuo be sent to Yuyang. The local officials in Yangcheng recruited 900 poor people, including Chen Sheng. During the roll call, Chen Sheng was found to be tall and handsome, so he was promoted to the chief of these 900 people. Another person named Wu Guang, who was as tall as Chen Sheng, was also promoted to be the chief of the village, and together with Chen Sheng, he led nine hundred people to Yuyang. The magistrate was afraid that they might change halfway, so he sent two generals to supervise them.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang led everyone to set off on the same day. After a few days of walking, they arrived at Daze Township. When it rained, they continued to fall for several days, seeing that they could not reach Yuyang on schedule. According to the law of the Qin Dynasty, the beheads were required to arrive on schedule, and the nine hundred people were very anxious.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang discussed quietly: There is still a thousand miles away from Yuyang. I don’t know when the rain will stop. The time limit set by the court is coming soon. We will definitely be overdue, and we will be beheaded if we are overdue. Are you willing to die?
Chen Sheng and Wu Guangnaimou said: If you die today, you will die, and you will die if you have a big plan. Is the country dead?
Wu Guang said: If you go, you will die, so let's run away!
Chen Sheng said: Escape is not a good way. We all leave our hometown. Where do we go when we run away? Even if there is a place to defect, it will be dead if caught. Fleeing is death, not running is also death, it is better to do something big, maybe you will be rich.
Wu Guang said: We have no power and no power, what can we do?
Chen Sheng said: The people of the world have suffered for a long time, but they are just powerless to resist. I heard that the current emperor is the youngest son of the first emperor and should not be an emperor. Fusu, the eldest son, was the eldest son and was virtuous, because he repeatedly advised the first emperor to anger him and was transferred out of the capital. The current emperor usurped the throne and killed Fusu. The common people only know that Fusu is virtuous, but that Fusu is dead. There is also Xiang Yan from Chu State who was also very prestigious. Some people said he was dead, and some said he ran away. If we want to make trouble, we better call on the world under their name. This place happens to be the place of Chu State before, and the people hate the Emperor Qin deeply. We will definitely get a response when we raise things.
Wu Guang thinks it is feasible, but because the matter is so important, he doesn't dare to act presumptuously. Z46z Since ancient times, fortune-telling people have been good at observing words and expressions . When Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's face are heavy, they know that there must be hidden feelings, so they asked them what they wanted to count. Chen Sheng couldn't say clearly, so he said a few words indiscriminately. The fortune-telling person followed the fortune-telling ritual and started a hexagram, and said to them: As long as you work together, you will succeed, but there are difficulties and obstacles, and it will not go well. You have to ask the ghosts and gods.
asked the gods by ghosts, took the opportunity to get upset
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang came out and discussed: Let us ask the ghosts and gods for fortunetellers, should we pray or worship? After thinking about it, Chen Sheng suddenly woke up and said: By the way, Chu people believe in ghosts and gods, and we must first use them to convince the crowd.
That night Chen Sheng hid the cloth with the words "Chen Sheng Wang" in the belly of the fish in advance. The next morning, people deliberately bought fish for dinner. When everyone took out the cloth from the belly of the fish and saw the words on it, they were surprised. In the evening, Wu Guang took the lantern and hid it secretly in the ancestral hall, wandering and learning from the fox shouting: Da Chuxing, King Chen Sheng. After everyone saw it, they thought they had encountered ghosts and spirits.There are many discussions.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang saw that the time came, he took advantage of the two generals to enter the camp when they were drunk, and said to the generals: God is raining continuously, and it is not possible to arrive at Yuyang on schedule. Once the time is over, we must decapitate. Come to tell us that we have to run away first. General
was angry when he heard that, and said: Do you dare to break the law? If you dare to go, behead now.
Wu Guang replied: You two are the prison army and have heavy responsibilities. Once the time limit expires, we are going to be killed. Can you two live?
When a general heard this, he drew his sword and slashed Wu Guang. Wu Guang had a quick eye and kicked the sword off with one foot. He picked it up and hacked the general with his backhand. The other general drew his sword and fought Wu Guang at the first glance. Chen Sheng ran behind the general and was killed.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang killed two generals, went out to gather the people, and said loudly: We all got here, blocked by rain, and the weather was clear. Even if we didn't sleep on the road, we couldn't reach Yuyang on schedule. If they are overdue, they will be cut off, and even if they are pardoned by luck, they will definitely not survive. In the north, the sky is cold, and the ice sky and snow cellars, who can afford it. If the husband does not die, he will die, and he will die vigorously. It's a life worthwhile to risk your death and do something big. The prince and general Xiangning is kind!
And the hero is immortal, and death is a big name, and the princes and generals are kind!
Seeing what Chen Sheng said was impassioned, everyone's heart and liver began to throb, but they were afraid of the two generals and did not dare to respond, so they all looked in the camp.
Chen Sheng saw through everyone's thoughts and said: The two of us are unwilling to die, and we don't want everyone to die in vain, so we decided to get involved and killed the two generals.
Everyone heard this and said in unison: Hearing and obeying orders, it's all by the two.
Chen Sheng chopped off the heads of the two officers and hung them on bamboo poles. Instruct everyone to build earth as an altar outside the camp, and make a big flag with a Chinese character written on it, and use the heads of two generals to sacrifice the flag. The blood on the head was dripped into the wine, and everyone drank the Tongxin wine one by one, swearing to the flag that Chen Sheng was the Lord and rebelled together. Chen Sheng called himself General, Wu Guang was the captain, and the country was named Chu. Chen Sheng ordered everyone to show his right arm as a sign.
is known as the Daze Township Uprising in history.
Xinghuo started a prairie fire and became king
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang after the uprising, first occupied Daze Township as a base. Then he collected farm tools such as iron rakes and used them as weapons, and went to the mountains to chop wood as a flag. After a few days of busy work, the sky was clear and the munitions were ready. Chen Sheng led the rebel army to capture Qinxian and Qiaoxian, and the momentum was greatly enhanced. When
came to attack Chenxian County, the rebel army had six or seven hundred vehicles, thousands of cavalry, and tens of thousands of infantry. It has been completely formed into a unit with complete arms, equipment foundation, and certain combat effectiveness. The basis of equipment is that at this time, only the forward troops of the rebels had knives and guns, and most of the weapons of the rear troops were farm tools and wooden sticks.
After the capture of Chen County, Chen Sheng established himself as the king, the country name Zhang Chu, which means Zhang Da Chu. Chen Sheng then made Wu Guang a false king and asked him to lead troops to attack Xingyang. Wuchen was selected as the general, and Shao Sao was the protector, to attack the former jurisdiction of the state of Zhao. Dispatch Deng Zong to attack Jiujiang, and Zhou City will attack the former Wei state. Accepting Cai Ci's suggestion, sent Zhou Wenjin to Guguan, intending to go straight to Xianyang. Z2z
The foreign enemy counterattacked, and the internal phase was jealous of Z4z
. At this time, Qin II was blinded by Zhao Gao. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang had been uprising for a few months, but I didn’t know. Zhou Wen took advantage of the opportunity of the Qin court to conceal from each other and broke into Hangu Pass. It was about to hit Xianyang before Qin Ershi got the report and called a hundred officials to discuss countermeasures.
Zhang Han Mao then volunteered to conquer Zhou Wen. Zhang Han did have the style of a general. He led the prisoners of Lishan. With strict military orders and excellent dispatch, he defeated Zhou Wen in the first battle and drove the rebels out of Hangu Pass. He pursued them all the way and forced Zhou Wen to commit suicide in Mianchi. After Zhou Wen's death, Wu Guang was also killed by general Tian Zang and Li Gui in Xingyang.
After killing Wu Guang, Tian Zang sent someone to see Chen Sheng with Wu Guang's head, and framed Wu Guang's rebellion. Originally, Wu Guang and Chen Sheng were in the uprising together, and their qualifications in the uprising army were comparable to Chen Sheng. When Chen Sheng was claiming the queen, he already had suspicions about Wu Guang. Tian Zang killed Wu Guang. Not only did Chen Sheng fail to look into it thoroughly, he went downhill and made Tian Zang a general.
treats relatives and friends harshly
At this time, Chen Sheng’s poor and lowly workers before he became successful, I heard that Chen ShengfaWhen he arrived, remembering what he said, "Don't forget each other if you are rich," they all came to Chen Sheng, hoping to win a bit of glory and wealth.
These farming servants came to Chenxian together to meet Chen Sheng, but they were blocked outside. They still wandered around the palace without giving up, and when Chen Sheng came out, they rushed forward and called Chen Sheng's nickname. Chen Sheng saw that they were all friends from the humble time, and he was too embarrassed to neglect, so he took them back to the palace.
These people entered the palace, their mouths were full of noise, and the palace guards were not good at it, so they took good wine and meat to block their mouths. Who knows that these people drank alcohol and said more nonsense: Chen She, Chen She, did not expect you to live in such a big palace today. A few others went on to say: Chen She was a farmer like us back then. He had a meal but not a meal. Why is so prominent now?
These people will tell you the old things before Chen Sheng, and laugh at them. Someone in the
palace reported what they had said to Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng is now the King of Chu. Now he is different from the past, so he could not allow them to humiliate himself so much. So he ordered several people who were talking nonsense to be tied up and cut their heads. . Now, these people were scared, and they didn't dare to think about "not forgetting each other" anymore, and they all ran back.
Chen Sheng's father-in-law and brother-in-law came to Chen Sheng. Chen Sheng left them in the palace, but the last time a fellow came to mess around, Chen Sheng treated them as domestic slaves. The father-in-law said angrily: relying on the strong to neglect the elders can not last long! Then he left without saying goodbye with his elder brother.
Because of these things, all his staff knew that Chen Sheng was mean, and they were all discouraged and refused to serve.
Chen Sheng disagrees, and appointed Zhu Fang as "Zhongzheng" and Hu Wu as "Secure", specializing in picketing officials' minor mistakes . Even some officials were not at fault. They were sent to jail just because they had a feast with Zhu and Hu. They were not handed over to the officials in charge of justice to be tried, and they were punished without authorization.
was defeated
Zhang Han came to relieve Xingyang's danger after eliminating Zhou Wen. Tian Zang and Li Gui were defeated and killed by Zhang Han. Zhang Han attacked all the way and drove to Chen County. Zhang He, the guard in the west of Chen County, reported to Chen Sheng and asked for support. Chen Sheng mobilized the generals to go for reinforcements, but the generals looked at each other coldly and refused to serve.
Chen Sheng had to bring someone to support himself. Before reaching Zhang He's camp, some defeated soldiers fled back, saying that Zhang He had been wiped out. Chen Sheng wanted to return to Chen County first, and then make plans. Just let the people who drove the car speed up. The driver of
was called Zhuang Jia. He was a little slow on the way, and was scolded by Chen Sheng. With a grudge, Zhuang Jia drove the car to Xia and became his father, so he stopped and stopped leaving. Chen Sheng was very anxious and called Zhuang Jia. As a result, Zhuang Jia took a sword and killed Chen Sheng. Z2z
After Zhuang Jia killed Chen Sheng, he immediately surrendered to the Qin army. Chen Sheng's Ministry regained Chen County, killed Zhuang Jia, and buried Chen Sheng in Mangdang Mountain. Z2z
Chen Sheng has been killed for a total of six months since he was the king of the army and was killed. At the beginning of the uprising, Chen Sheng responded to a hundred responses and died at the hands of a coachman. He did not put forward a clear political program and purpose, but just did not reconcile himself to death, hoping to become wealthy. After the event, he just got a little achievement, he became greedy for power, became the king of his own, and began to be jealous of his subordinates, the matter of how soon or later he would fail.
has always been a revolution, and the first person to attack often fails to succeed. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprised, but Wu Guang is insignificant. After the uprising, Chen Sheng showed a moral character that was extremely incompatible with his "Honghu Zhizhi". Kill the poor, deceive relatives, harsh generals, and mean and unkind. With a plowing servant and a shout, he became king. Fame is fast, and so is defeat. Chen Sheng and Wu Guangneng are remembered, but benefited from taking the lead in getting started and occupying the "first" in history, with far-reaching significance and low achievements.
