Hard work for a long time, hunger and cold. It actually made Qin lose the deer, and the first was the Han Fish. ——Liu Kezhuang
In the history of our country, Chen Sheng can be regarded as the first "poor second generation" to counterattack, and in the First World War of Dazexiang, he successfully launched his own fame and completed the feat of "the prince will have a kind of Hu".
However, although Chen Sheng enjoys a high reputation in history, he also has many "stains", such as the killing of Wu Guang. During the Dazexiang uprising, Wu Guang could be said to be Chen Sheng's right and left arm, so why did he want to kill this former brother?
Osawa Township Uprising
In terms of origin, Chen Sheng was an authentic "poor second generation", he had been a hired worker since he was a child, and he had not even read the books of the Eight Classics of Zheng'er.
However, although Chen Sheng's knowledge is insufficient, his vision is very long-term. Once, when he was ploughing the fields, he was not reconciled to the fate of being enslaved, and said to the big guys: "Go rich and noble, don't forget each other."
After hearing this sentence, many people scorned Chen Sheng, thinking that the big guys could not be rich. In this regard, Chen Sheng said helplessly: "Yan Que An Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhao."
After Qin II ascended the throne, he began to expropriate and violently levy against the people of the world, and the law was also very strict. Under such circumstances, the opportunity for Chen Sheng's rise quietly came.
In 209 AD, the imperial court recruited a large number of troops to garrison Yuyang, but it encountered heavy rain on the way, the road was blocked by floods, and it was impossible for 300 poor people and Chen Sheng to reach their destination as scheduled.
According to the laws of the Qin Dynasty, if soldiers could not reach their destinations as scheduled, then all people would be beheaded. At the critical moment of life and death, Chen Sheng decided to gamble and put up a banner against the Qin Dynasty.
At that time, he first consulted with a man named Wu Guang, and later created a momentum for himself--Da Chuxing and Chen Shengwang. As a result, these poor people really believed.
After everything was ready, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang killed the officials of the Qin Dynasty, and under the banners of "the world is bitter for a long time" and "the prince will have a kind of Xiangning", they began their own hegemonic business, and also opened the first peasant uprising in China's history.
A rebel army that is in a state of flux
After the success of the uprising, Chen Sheng, with more than 300 people, first captured Daze Township, and then captured Pu County, and used this as a base to continuously expand his territory, occupying a large area of land around Anhui and Henan in just a few months.
After the defeat of Chen County, Chen Sheng invited three very famous local old men, and with their support, established his own political power, with the name of "Zhang Chu".
After the establishment of the "Zhang Chu" regime, the anti-Qin in the world also reached a wave of climax, Liu Bang, Xiang Liang, Yingbu, Peng Yue and others were among them, and the anti-Qin had become a trend of fire.
At the peak of the rebel army, it once hit the land of Xingyang, and it was only more than a hundred miles away from Xianyang. At the same time, the strength of the rebel army has reached 100,000 people, and there are thousands of chariots.
Just when Zhang Chu's regime was about to take a step closer and destroy the Qin state, Zhang Handan stood up at this time, quickly organized hundreds of thousands of civilians, and fought the rebel army back outside Guanzhong.
It was also this time that the situation between the enemy and us changed greatly, the attacks of the rebels continued to lose, and Zhang Handan's large army was like a broken bamboo.
A few months later, he successively conquered the city that Chen Sheng had previously occupied, and directly attacked Chen County, the capital of the "Zhang Chu" regime. Soon after, Chen County was destroyed and Zhang Chu was destroyed, and Chen Sheng was also defeated and killed.
Looking back at the above introduction, the time from Chen Sheng's rebellion to the establishment of his own political power to the elimination of the regime has taken less than a year.
Many historians blame this on the "limitations of the peasant regime". In fact, the reason for the failure of the "Zhang Chu" regime was that Chen Sheng had an unshirkable responsibility.
In those years, Chen Sheng subtly changed
The turning point of the "Zhang Chu" regime must start from the time of Xingyang, because during that time, Chen Sheng did two things successively, one was to kill Wu Guang, and the other was to lose the hearts of the people.
It is said that after the establishment of the "Zhang Chu" regime, many early entrepreneurs began to enjoy the fruits of victory and claimed the title of king in various places. As a leader, Chen Sheng was naturally very resistant to this situation, but he did not have any way.
Later, when marching from Xingyang to Xianyang, Wu Guangjiu's attack was fruitless. As a result, Chen Sheng began to suspect that he also had the intention of "establishing himself as king", and then replaced Wu Guang with Zhou Wen.
In the early stage, although Zhou Wen also achieved good results, he was defeated by Zhang Handan in the later stage. At this time, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's views on the military conflicted, which also made him feel that he had lost control of Wu Guang.
Soon after, Wu Guang, who had lost trust, was killed by tian Zang, the leader of the rebel army, and Tian Zang beat Chen Sheng's name- the false king Jiao, who did not know the power of the army, could not be calculated, and was not condemned.
Afterwards, Chen Sheng not only did not punish Tian Zang, but also gave him a great reward. Wu Guang can be said to be Chen Sheng's "brother", and he still treats his brother like this, let alone other people? In this way, the generals in the rebel army were all in danger, the combat strength was rapidly declining, and failure was a matter of time.
In addition to Wu Guang's murder, another thing Chen Sheng did also made many people shameless. After Chen Sheng became king, a man who cultivated a piece of land came to him, and only after seeing him many times did he see Chen Sheng.
Because he was Chen Sheng's hometown, after entering the "Palace", he frequently talked about Chen Sheng's childhood. At this time, someone said to Chen Sheng: "Your fellow countrymen are so casual to you, which is detrimental to your majesty."
After hearing such words, Chen Sheng killed the fellow. After the incident, although Chen Sheng established his own majesty, he lost the hearts of the people, and many old friends left him, and "losing the hearts of the people" was also one of the reasons for Chen Sheng's failure.
Then again, why did Chen Sheng want to kill Wu Guang? Or is it an indirect killing of Wu Guang? In fact, Sima Qian gave a certain explanation in the "Records of History", roughly for two reasons.
After Chen Sheng became king, his psychology also underwent certain changes, and what was originally right became wrong. One of them, "Chen Shi ShiJia", records: "Wu Guangsu loves people, and soldiers are mostly users."
As a general, there is nothing wrong with loving soldiers like sons, but when Chen Sheng became king, Wu Guang's behavior was "supporting the soldiers and respecting themselves", which seriously threatened Chen Sheng's royal power.
The second is the Chronicle of History. Chen Shijia called "false Wang Jiao", in short, Wu Guang was very arrogant. During the entrepreneurial period, Wu Guang was arrogant to Chen Sheng, and he may be regarded as a "fierce general".
However, after the difference between the monarchs and the subjects, Wu Guang was still in such a state, and Chen Sheng's view of him would change, believing that Wu Guang was a threat, which was also one of the reasons why Chen Sheng changed generals in the Battle of Xingyang.
In fact, although the things of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang happened in ancient times, there are also many in the current workplace. During the entrepreneurial period, the status of brothers is equal, and after the success of entrepreneurship, the status of bosses, managers and employees is very clear.
If you don't recognize this, then the reason for the person's removal from the company is not far away, because you threaten the power of the boss.
