The first person to eat crab is often brave, because he has not eaten it before, but the result is good, because the crab is very delicious, and this exquisite metaphor actually misleads one thing, that is, most of the time, the first time you do something, there is a high probability that there will be no good results.
The first roar of the peasant uprising at the end of Qin was issued by Chen Sheng, because the Qin law was very harsh, and they were delayed in forming in Daze Township, and they were faced with the situation of death and death if they did not go, so they simply reversed it.
Later facts proved that Chen Sheng lied, because according to the excavated documents, according to the law of the time, it was not possible to be killed if the date was missed, but this discovery did not change the nature of the uprising, because they really could not survive.
Chinese no matter in any dynasty, if you can survive, you basically will not choose the road of rebellion, although Chen Sheng and Wu Guang lied, but the Qin law is harsh and it is really difficult to survive, it is certainly a fact, and this discovery of later generations cannot completely negate the nature of this peasant uprising.
But Chen Sheng is not a simple person, he is definitely not an ordinary peasant, although the history books write that he cultivated land for people, he is likely to be a descendant of the broken nobles of the Warring States period.
During the Warring States period, small countries were annexed in large numbers, and there were many down-and-out nobles, although their livelihood was indeed very difficult, a bit like peasants, but his vision and ambition were different from ordinary people.
A very obvious evidence is that Chen Sheng has a word, we know that in the "History", the text that introduces Chen Sheng is called "Chen Shi ShiJia", which is his word, and it should be known that only cultural people can have words.
Liu Bang has no words, not only no words, even the name is casual, his original name is Liu Ji, popularly speaking, it is the meaning of Liu Laosan, Bo ZhongShu Ji is the ancient used as a ranking name.
Even in the Yuan Dynasty, ordinary peasants also have no words, such as Zhu Yuanzhang, his real name is Zhu Zhongba, that is, the use of numbers to name, simple and easy to understand, from the fact that Chen Sheng has a name and a word, it can be seen that the first peasant uprising in China is definitely not accidental, Chen Sheng is not simple.
Chen Sheng did not do things casually, he had a keen insight into the situation at that time, and did two things to completely ignite the fire of this uprising at the end of Qin, the first of which was to blow up the army of Gongzi Fusu Xiangyan.
In the last years of the Warring States, the battle between the Chu State and the Qin State was the most tragic, and Daze Township belonged to the former land of the Chu State at that time, so there was a very good anti-Qin foundation here, playing the banner of the Chu State, which could increase the cohesion.
Chen Sheng saw this very clearly, but this was not enough to light the powder keg, and the real light of the powder keg was Chen Sheng's sentence, and the prince xiangning had a kind of feeling, which completely changed history.
Under the banner of Xiang Yan, it is reasonable to say that you should revive the Chu State, but Chen Sheng did not, he did not want to revive the original Chu State at all, and the name of the country he set was Zhang Chu, which is the meaning of Zhang Da Chu State.
And it is their own title of king, this is the first time in Chinese history that civilians have called the king, the previous kings are relying on ancestral blood, and Chen Sheng is the first time in history, using force to call the king, it can be said that it has created a precedent in history, everyone was shocked, it turned out that as long as the fist is large, the strength of the troops can be called king.
This is the climax that completely ignited the anti-Qin, but at the same time it also laid the root of the curse, this is actually Pandora's box, as long as it is released, it can never be recovered, those generals he sent out to conquer the east and the west, as long as they win the battle, they also called the king, and Chen Sheng did this, which was the main reason for Chen Sheng's failure.
Even Chen Sheng's father-in-law did not recognize Chen Sheng's identity as King, which shows that at that time, everyone was still somewhat resistant to this situation of using force to claim the king.
Force is good, but the problem is also huge, that is, your force will become weak at any time, when Zhang Handan defeated the rebel army continuously, Chen Sheng obviously could not support it, and finally he was killed by his own coachman, claiming the king by force, and finally died under the force.
Although later, the real Descendants of Xiang Yan, Xiang Liang and Xiang Yu, learned the lessons of Chen Sheng and made a descendant of the Chu royal family to be the King of Chu Huai, but after the variable of force was introduced by Chen Sheng, he could never go back, and then Xiang Yu also killed the King of Chu Huai by force to achieve a generation of overlords, unfortunately, Chen Sheng and Xiang Yu eventually made wedding dresses for Liu Bang.
