There is a word we can often hear now-"not forgetting the original intention", once you forget, then you are likely to suffer serious setbacks and go to failure.
As early as the end of the Qin Dynasty, there was a person who used his own body to warn us, and this person was Chen Sheng.
After the establishment of the Qin Dynasty, society transitioned from slavery to feudal landlordism. Chen Sheng was not a landlord, but a hired servant for the landlord. Although the Qin Dynasty established a dynasty in the new era, it still carried the corrupt elements of the past era, so the oppression of the people was extremely deep.
Chen Sheng is in this era, he is unwilling to be enslaved all his life, and he is always thinking about how to change his fate. At the same time, he was sympathetic to people who shared his fate.
One day, he was working in the field with his friends, and when he was chatting, he said to his friendsDon't forget each other.
After listening to it, the others thought this idea was very funny, and couldn't help laughing, we are all the people at the bottom who work for people, ** from the rich?
Chen Sheng didn't think so, he sighedThe finch knows the ambition of the bird
After Qin II succeeded to the throne, not only did not ease social contradictions, but intensified the exploitation of the people. At the same time, he also collaborated with Zhao Gao to kill his brothers and sisters, and killed loyal and outspoken courtiers, which greatly aggravated social contradictions.
Later, Chen Sheng, as the commander of the tun, took the soldiers to Yuyang to defend it, and with him was his newly acquainted friend Wu Guang. When they arrived in the Daze Township area, heavy rain hindered their path.
Chen Sheng saw this opportunity, so he approached Wu Guang to discuss what to do. He told Wu Guang that these people would not be able to reach their destination on time no matter what, and that they would be executed according to the law, even if they escaped and were caught.
He also analyzed the current situation to Wu Guang, on the one hand, the imperial court oppressed the people very deeply, and everyone had been dissatisfied with the imperial court for a long time, on the other hand, the imperial court also brutalized Zhongliang, and we can raise the banner of these loyal and good people to revolt.
I think the reason why Chen Sheng and Wu Guanggang were able to discuss such a thing after they knew each other for a long time was that the two had revealed the same idea of dissatisfaction with the Qin Dynasty when they communicated before.
After hearing this, Wu Guang agreed, and according to the custom at the time, the two went to the warlock for divination. The warlock told them that they would succeed and suggested that they could take advantage of superstition.
So the two of them used cinnabar to write the silk of "Chen Shengwang" and put it into the belly of the fish they bought, and Wu Guang also went to the deserted temple in the middle of the night to light a bonfire, and also learned to call a fox, which is equivalent to the current ** propaganda, so that the people below are a little mentally prepared.
When the two saw that the time was ripe, Wu Guang deliberately angered the accompanying officials and attracted whipping. When they aroused the anger of the people, the two took advantage of the situation to kill them.
Then Chen Sheng summoned everyone, aroused the hatred of the Qin Dynasty in everyone's hearts, and finally announced an uprising. Chen Sheng set himself up as a general, with Wu Guang as the captain, and captured Daze Township in one fell swoop, and then quickly captured the county seat of Qixian.
Because the people's hatred for the Qin Dynasty had been suppressed for a long time, the uprising team led by Chen Sheng quickly grew, and in less than a month, it connected five counties, including Kebei County, Yu County, Ku County, Zhe County, and Qian County.
Chen Sheng was still very capable, and after taking a large area at the junction of Anhui and Henan, he decided to attack the strategically important Chen County. At this time, the rule of the Qin Dynasty was no longer good, and the county guards and county commanders of Chen County fled in despair, leaving the county to resist stubbornly.
However, at this time, the rebel army was gaining momentum, and the local Qin army became a frightened bird, so Chen County soon collapsed and was occupied by the rebel army.
After entering the city, Chen Sheng summoned the three local elders and Haoqiang, and some people thought that he had made great contributions to the fight against the Qin Dynasty and should be called king.
Chen Sheng listened to this suggestion and finally decided to call Wang Liguo, with Chen County as the capital and the country name "Zhang Chu", which was also the first peasant regime in Chinese history.
After Chen Sheng became king, it may be that the feeling after being the king made him forget the old days, and he was no longer the person who sympathized with the bottom, which also made his group finally fall apart.
The fellow villagers who used to farm with him heard that he had come to be king, and they came to him from their hometownAs a result, after waiting for a long time, no one paid attention to him. It wasn't until Chen Sheng went out that he blocked the road and called him by his nickname that he was summoned and rode back to the palace together.
Because he was Chen Sheng's former friend, he was more casual with Chen Sheng, and talked about a lot of things in Chen Sheng's past. Someone said to Chen Sheng, this person is ignorant and deliberately talks nonsense, damaging your dignity.
After Chen Sheng found out, he killed this little friend. This little friend did something inappropriate, but Chen Sheng's own approach was even more inappropriate, this move completely isolated himself, and no one dared to approach him casually after that.
If this is the case, Chen Sheng has no friends at most, and the group he rebelled against will still respect him for the sake of collective interests. The key is that some of Chen Sheng's practices have offended his core forces.
Chen Sheng appointed Zhu Fang as Zhongzheng and Hu Wu as the secretary, specializing in supervising the mistakes of the ministers. When the soldiers returned from the siege, they found fault with the generals.
Once they don't like the erring generals, they don't hand them over to the management and trial in charge of justice, and they use lynching to deal with them on their own. Chen Sheng thinks that the two of them are defending his interests, so he trusts them very much.

In addition, when Wu Guang led a large army westward and attacked XingyangTian Zang killed Wu Guang under the pretense of Chen Sheng's order, and also sent Wu Guang's head to Chen Sheng.
Chen Sheng not only did not punish him, but also sent the Great Seal of the Chu State Order Yin and appointed Tian Zang as the general to fight against the upcoming army of Zhang Han. Even if Chen Sheng's move was to allow Tian Zang to deal with the Qin army, this would be a short-term benefit and a long-term harm.
Chen Sheng's decision greatly deepened the sense of crisis among the other rebel partners, and Chen Sheng was even more alienated. The generals he sent to various places began to claim the throne, either to stand on their own feet or to support them, and the rebel army fell apart.
With Chen Sheng's regime isolated, after Zhang Han resolved the crisis in Xingyang, he began to go all out to deal with Chen Sheng, a rising bird. Soon Chen Sheng's army was defeated by Zhang Han, and Chen Sheng was forced to retreat to Xiacheng's father.
Just when Chen Sheng was about to work hard again, he was killed by Zhuang Jia, a coachman who had been following him for months. Of course, although Chen Sheng died, many of his friends who rebelled together were still there, and they eventually overthrew the Qin Dynasty.
Chen Sheng's biggest problem, in my opinion, is that he forgot his original intention and his strength, so in the end, he himself was defeated.
