You may not feel admiration for Chen Sheng, but you must be familiar with the phrase "Gou Fugui, don't forget each other". Although Chen Sheng and Wu Guang may not be well known, the flames they ignited ignited countless hearts that wanted to overthrow the Qin Dynasty. Here's the problem, from the uprising to the glory to the defeat and death, the whole process took only half a year. What mistake did Chen Sheng make?**When reading the "Historical Records", I think Chen Sheng made two major mistakes. First, Chen Sheng deviated from the concept of "Gou is rich and noble, don't forget each other". When he was young, Chen Sheng and his partners ploughed the fields together, and someone always said: "If I develop in the future, I will never forget you."
Chen Sheng also had such feelings: "Gou Fugui, don't forget each other." The partners smiled, after all, they are all farmers, who would pursue wealth?When Chen Sheng was questioned, he sighed: "Whew!."
The bird's nest knows the ambition of the bird!Ma Yun once said that people must have dreams, which may be Chen Sheng's dream, but dreams need suitable soil. And it just so happened that Qin II provided this soil. In July 209 BC, Chen Sheng and others went to Yuyang as conscripted soldiers to defend it, but they encountered heavy rain on the way and exceeded the specified time limit. According to the laws of the state of Qin, this meant the death penalty.
Chen Sheng is faced with a choice, whether to automatically lead the death or resist?They chose to rebel, so they launched an uprising in Daze Township, known as the "Daze Township Uprising" in history. Chen Sheng took the lead in establishing "Zhang Chu", with the capital in Chen County, and proclaimed himself the "King of Chu", becoming the first revolutionary regime established by a peasant uprising. Despite Chen's success, his mistakes are also becoming apparent. In the process of founding the country, Chen Sheng killed a man who had been his partner only because the other party was amazed at the palace in Chen County. This decision frightened the other partners and no longer dared to get close. This scene reminds people of the episode between *** and Luo Blind, ** maintained a humble and approachable attitude, and became a role model for leaders.
The second mistake was Chen Sheng's mismanagement and abuse of talents. In the process of gradually expanding the scale of the organization, Chen Sheng did not manage talents reasonably, but appointed incompetent people such as Zhu Fang and Hu Wu to important positions. This management problem led the generals to attack the city and land outside, and use their lives to seek a better future for the rebel army, but around Chen Sheng, talents were abused and misled. Chen Sheng's mistakes disappointed the talents, and some even left Chen Sheng's camp. This mismanagement has left a profound lesson in history.
In the end, Chen Sheng suffered defeat and personally led his army against the Qin army, but returned defeated, and was eventually killed by his coachmen. This process took only half a year, and Chen Sheng became an anti-Qin gravedigger, and he was also the first to dig a pit and the first to fall. Although Chen Sheng's story ended in failure, he ignited the fire of anti-Qin, inspired more people with lofty ideals to join the uprising, and paved the way for the rise of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu and others. Chen Sheng's defeat is more like laying the groundwork for the rise of heroes later.
