He was an employee when he was young. Under the brutal rule of the Qin Dynasty, the class was deeply oppressed. He doesn't want to be enslaved, and sympathizes with people who share his fate. One day, he said to his fellow peasants, "If someone is rich in the future, don't forget a poor brother who suffers." . Everyone felt funny: "Let's try farming for others. Where did you get rich? " Chen Sheng sighed: "How do birds know the ambition of swans!"
In July of the first year of Qin Ershi, the imperial court called up troops to guard Yuyang, and Chen Sheng was also called as the leader. Accompanied by two Qin officials, he and 900 other poor farmers went to Yuyang day and night. When traveling to osawa Township, Qixian County, the road was blocked by flood and impassable. Everyone saw that the deadline to reach Yuyang was coming, and they were anxious like ants on hot bricks. They don't know what to do. According to the cool law of the Qin dynasty, all soldiers who were called up to defend the border but did not arrive at the designated place on time were cut off.
In the life-and-death struggle, Chen Sheng resolutely decided to plan an uprising. That night, Chen Sheng quietly discussed with another Tundu Guangwu. Yang's servant Wu was also born in poverty. Although they have known each other for a short time, they are friends who talk about everything. Chen Sheng said to Guangwu, "It's thousands of miles away from Yuyang, so we can't reach Yuyang on time. Our present situation is that if we go, we will die; If we run away, we will die. I would rather die for my country than for my country. " Then Chen Sheng analyzed the current situation: "The world has been devastated by the State of Qin for a long time, and the people have imposed exorbitant taxes and levies on the State of Qin, which is unbearable. It is said that the youngest son of Qin Shihuang is the second emperor Hu Hai. He shouldn't have succeeded to the throne, but his eldest son, Fu Su. Fu was a clever man, but he was killed by II for no reason. There is also a famous man named Xiang Yan, who used to be a famous soldier in Chu. He has made outstanding achievements in military affairs and taking care of soldiers. Now people don't know whether these two people are alive or dead. Why not call on everyone in their name to rise up against the tyranny of the Qin dynasty? " [8] "Emperor Guangwu admired Chen Sheng's courage and thought that his ideas were in line with the wishes of the people at that time, and he fully supported Chen Sheng's decision to" subjugate the country "and" seek great solutions ".
In ancient times, religious superstitions predicting good luck or bad luck prevailed. After some planning, Bobby Chen and Guangwu specially found a fortune teller to pray for good or bad luck. [9] A wise man knows what this means and says, "Your career can be successful, and you can make great contributions to the people. But you have to ask ghosts and gods. " He Guangwu and Bobby Chen were very happy after hearing this. They realized the truth that ghosts and gods "dominate the world" from the words of fortune tellers. So, they wrote three words on the silk handkerchief with cinnabar, and then stuffed them into the fish caught by fishermen. Soldiers from Dijon came back to buy fish to eat. They were surprised to find "Dan Shu" in the fish's stomach. At the same time, Chen Sheng let Guangwu lurk in an abandoned temple near the camp. In the middle of the night, he lit a bonfire near the temple, pretended to be a jack-o'-lantern, imitated the fox's voice and shouted, "Chu Xing, Chen Sheng! The sleeping Dijon soldiers woke up with a start and were very scared. The next day, Junzu pointed to Bobby Chen in a low voice. In addition, Chen Sheng was warm and friendly to his subordinates at ordinary times, and linked the image of Chen Sheng with the revival of Chu culture. Therefore, Sheng's prestige is mixed.
