After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, there were too many projects done, too big, too many laborers, too heavy conscription, too strict laws, and the death penalty at every turn, and people had no way to live, so they could only work hard. There is nothing wrong with the world's bitter Qin for a long time, and regardless of whether the Afang Palace really exists, the Guanglishan Tomb, the Great Wall, the Chi Road, and the transportation construction of the Southern Expedition to Baiyue, these super projects have been launched together in more than ten years, and it is not something that Daqin with a population of 20 million can bear just after the war. These things the nobles will not do, they are all done by the people at the bottom.
The State of Qin went too far and extreme on the road of legalism (not that the rule of law is wrong), only focusing on utilitarianism and not paying attention to moral indoctrination, the whole country from top to bottom from officials to the people lacked consensus, there was no cohesion, when Qin Shi Huang was alive, the bureaucracy was actually full of holes, otherwise there was no way to explain Qin Shi Huang to patrol around, and finally died in the dunes. Fugitives such as Zhang Liang and Xiangliang can get away with it everywhere under the cover of officials everywhere, and Li Si, as the prime minister of the empire, only remembered the good times when he went out of the city to hunt in his hometown before he died, and did not have any self-reflection and self-blame for the collapse of the country.
The reason why Chen Sheng developed too fast was actually to follow the trend, Chen Sheng was only the first to raise the banner of righteousness against Qin, and small groups of armed forces everywhere who occupied mountains as kings were everywhere. The general of the Chu State, Heng Chu, had several thousand people in his hands, Song Yi had fifty thousand people in his hands, and Chen Ying was just a county order, and he actually gathered 30,000 people. If it weren't for Chen Sheng's internal strife and defeat too quickly, these armed forces would have gathered under Chen Sheng's account. Speaking of which, in the era of cold weapons, someone can pull up an army, Daqin ruled the country with violence, and was eventually violently overthrown, and Yu Zheng never expected that the empire he established would eventually involve his own family to be killed cleanly, and hundreds of years of inheritance would be destroyed.
The rule of law is conducive to stability, but it also restricts people's subjective initiative. There are too many rules and regulations for officials in the Qin State, and it is estimated that they will have to ask for instructions layer by layer, coupled with the inconvenience of transportation, the transmission of instructions consumes time and misses the opportunity. The rebel army, on the contrary, can fight as much as they want, without asking for instructions, and will not suffer the fate of the foreign king. Maneuvering and flexible when fighting a war, Liu Bang entered Xianyang, and he could try not to fight without fighting, and surrendered to others without fighting, so the momentum was like a broken bamboo. Qin Law was harsh, and there were repeated battles, and the lower classes were better off alive than dead, and the people's grievances were boiling, which was a collapse. The upper class Zhao Gaohu acted perversely, and the monarch divorced from virtue, which was called disintegration. This situation, even if Qin Shi Huang is alive, will not escape destruction.
The Qin Dynasty is the first great unified empire, the remnants of the six countries are still there, and Qin is severely punished, the people of the six countries are miserable, and naturally their hearts are to the motherland, coupled with the slogan "Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu", let Chen Sheng revolt, in the name of "Zhang Chu", the remnants of the six countries can also watch behind and rise with the trend, after all, the gun shot the first bird, and the facts also proved that Zhang Wei's priority was Chen Sheng Wuguang.
The composition of the Lishan Prisoner Army is not all prisoners, but there are also many ordinary people who "serve in service", and among these people, they are mixed with the Qin Capital Garrison as the backbone, supplemented by Qin's sharp weapons, and they can immediately form combat effectiveness and accumulate experience by fighting against the poorly equipped rebel army. At the same time, the Qin people were recruited to replenish the army as backup, which shows that Zhang Wei had backup troops and did not rely only on Lishan prisoners. In the end, it was precisely because most of the troops that could be sent to the battlefield, the garrison was insufficient, and there was Zhao Gao killing Hu Hai inside, and the people were panicked, and how to resist Liu Bang's army. Under internal and external troubles, the death of the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty was inevitable.
In fact, after the establishment of a new dynasty, the second emperor is very important, otherwise it is easy to die in the country. Xia was also the second dynasty, but later it was restored, and Zhou was the same, King Wu of Zhou just died, and rebelled everywhere, fortunately there was the Duke of Zhou, and the Qin Dynasty was the same, but unfortunately there was no "Duke of Zhou". Because after the death of the first emperor, the original opposition forces will be resurrected, and how to deal with it at this time is very important.
