Bobby Chen was an ambitious man when he was young. He came from a peasant family and worked as a long-term laborer for the landlord since he was a child. He was deeply oppressed and exploited, and his heart was "disappointed for a long time". He gradually formed the idea of resisting oppression and changing reality. He once said that "the sparrow knows the ambition of the swan" and he was determined to do great things since he was a child. At that time, during the brutal rule of the Qin Dynasty, class oppression was deep. He does not want to be enslaved by others. He said to his fellow peasants, "If you are rich, don't forget each other." In other words, if anyone is rich in the future, don't forget a poor brother who has suffered a lot. Everyone was amused: "We worked hard to farm for others, where did we get the money?" Chen Sheng couldn't help feeling something and sighed: "Swallows know the ambition of swans!" ("Historical Records? Chen She family) The poor peasants deceived by the ruling class's preaching that "wealth is in the sky" can't understand the advanced thought that actually represents their own class to get rid of poverty and oppression. Bobby Chen's outstanding point is that he saw the unfairness between poverty and wealth for the first time and put forward simple and brave demands to change it. The determination to resist fate burns like a fire in Bobby Chen's chest. Soon, he proved his brave words to people with practical actions. In July of the first year of Qin Ershi (209 BC), the imperial court recruited a large number of soldiers to defend Yuyang (now southwest of Miyun, Beijing), and Chen Sheng was also among the conscripts and was appointed as the head of the team. He and 900 other poor farmers, escorted by two Qin officials, went to Yuyang day and night. Osawa Township in Qixian County (now Xisipo in Suzhou, Anhui Province) is impassable. The deadline to reach Yuyang is coming, and everyone is like ants on hot bricks, and I don't know what to do. Because according to the cool law of Qin, all soldiers who are stationed at the border and do not arrive at the designated place on time will be beheaded. At the critical moment of life and death, Chen Sheng resolutely decided to plan an uprising. That night, Bobby Chen quietly consulted another stationmaster, Guangwu. After Chen Sheng became king, his thoughts gradually evolved. The relationship with the masses is becoming more and more alienated. For example, a fellow villager who was a landlord with Bobby Chen heard that he was the king, so he came to Chen County from his hometown in Yangcheng, Dengfeng to find him. He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one answered. He was summoned until Bobby Chen went out to call his nickname. Because I am an old friend of Bobby Chen, I come and go very casually, and sometimes I can't help talking about some old things about Bobby Chen's hometown in Bobby Chen. Soon someone said to Bobby Chen, "Guest! Chen She family) Bobby Chen was so angry that he killed his "nonsense" partner. The phrase "forget about others when you are rich" has long been forgotten. Since then, "Wang Chen's old friends are all brought by themselves, so they are all kings without relatives" (Historical Records? Chen She family "). On the other hand, with the development of the anti-Qin struggle, the centrifugal tendency within the revolutionary ranks is also breeding and spreading. The generals sent by Chen Sheng to different places had different opinions, contending for the title of king, and the rebels split openly. For example, the military and political minister of the Northern Expedition became the leader of the separatist regime. His ministry, Hanbitsoft, became a prince after raiding Yan. Although Zhou, who captured the hometown of Wei, did not stand on his own feet as king, he established Ningling, a descendant of Wei. At the same time, the heroes who rallied around to protect themselves no longer listened to Chen Sheng's containment, and directly isolated Chen Sheng's "Zhang Chu" regime as the main force against Qin, giving them a chance to fight back. After Qin lifted the siege of Xingyang by rebels, it attacked Chen Jun with all its strength. In the first year of Qin Ershi (209 BC), Chen Sheng personally led the peasant army soldiers to launch a fierce battle with Qin Jun, although he struggled badly. My father, who was forced to retreat to the lower city (now northwest of Mengcheng, Anhui Province), was ready to regroup and fight Qin again. But unexpectedly, he was killed by Zhuang Jia, the coachman who followed him for several months, which became a permanent regret. Chen Sheng's murder aroused the great indignation of his old servant and general Lv Chen. He raised the banner of righteousness again in Xinyang (now northern Anhui), formed the "Cangtou Army", retaken Chen County from his hands and executed him. Raise the banner of "Zhang Chu" again. Originally, the Ministry that was ordered to develop in the east was called Ping. Under the guise of Chen Sheng, Xiang Liang, the son of Xiang Liang, a former Chu star, was worshipped as a pillar country, so that he could cross the Wujiang River and attack Qin in the west. The anti-Qin struggle has revived. Chen Sheng planned an uprising called Wang Liguo, which lasted only half a year and was defeated and killed, but the anti-Qin fire he lit burned more than half of China. "Chen Sheng is dead. Three years later, the peasant uprising army led by Liu Bang entered Xianyang, overthrew the rule of the Qin Dynasty, and finally won the first large-scale peasant war in China history. Chen Sheng was buried in the southwest of the main peak of Mangdang Mountain after his death. After Liu Bang proclaimed himself emperor, he made Chen Sheng a "hidden king" and sent 30 servants to guard Chen Sheng's tomb, offering sacrifices to Chen Sheng every year as a vassal.
Bobby Chen's overall evaluation is mostly positive, while Bobby Chen's partial measures are not. Many people can't see Chen Sheng's pioneering work against Qin, and think that they have to fight against fear of death. In fact, Bobby Chen himself has made it very clear that every man is responsible for the death of a strong man. What's his name? Is it just to be king, and die after addiction? No, from the very beginning, Chen Sheng took it as his duty to overthrow the tyranny of Qin, and did not wait for Chen to become king. Ying Ge was sent to the East. Later, he was sent back to be called Pingdonglue, which seemed to have a sense of repetition. According to the map of Bobby Chen, it is impossible for the old Chu area not to recover. Then, after sending Ying Ge, just like sending Zhang Zhou after sending Guangwu. Chen Sheng's strategy is all-round: centering on Chen, he sent troops to attack Sanchuan County, Wan County, Jiujiang County, Guangling County, Zhao County in the north, Wei Dynasty in the northeast, and Ge Yingdong consolidated the rear.
These recognizable people are in perfect order, covering the whole world. So, what Bobby Chen did was make a living. Based on Chen, attack from all sides, and the ambition of the world is unobstructed. This is in line with his declaration that "princes would rather have seeds" at the beginning of the uprising. Chen Sheng spared no effort to attack Qin, showing a strong determination to give up Qin. The so-called "although Chu has three families, Qin will die." Chen Shengbu adopted the tactics of continuous combat and did not give the Qin Dynasty a chance to breathe. These tactics were adopted when Chu defeated Xiang Yan at the end of the Warring States Period, and Chen Sheng was the old army of Xiang Yan, so this tactic is no stranger. Since then, the method of continuous operations has been widely used in Qin Chu. After Liu Xiang attacked Qin, it was also a stormy continuous operation, which was in the same strain as Chen Sheng's tactics.
Chen Sheng certainly has his historical limitations. His predecessors accused him of reusing villains, which was one of the harsh laws of the Qin Dynasty. Zhao Gao told Qin Ershi that those who are far away are near, and those who are cheap are expensive. Chen Sheng reused Zhu Fang, Hu Wu and others, chilling his subordinates and alienating his cronies, so he soon lost. In Bobby Chen's view, he had to. After all, he came from the bottom of society and was not familiar with the way of ruling, so he had to choose a ready-made way to start. The ready-made method is exactly the tyranny of the Qin dynasty that he strongly opposed. It's easy for our descendants to stand and talk. If they put themselves in their shoes, I'm afraid it makes no difference to act. Who has no limitations? And this phenomenon may not be the limit, so let's do it. There may be a dominant nature here. Is there a law of getting something for nothing? Our Party's Yan 'an rectification seems to have been carried out without work, and Peng and Chen Yi were all criticized to death.
However, Bobby Chen did have an addiction. His hometown said that his king was quite like that, that's what he meant. Moreover, not only the king is serious, but no one dares to take his words seriously. Chen Wu established herself as the queen, and Chen Sheng constantly encouraged Chen Wu to attack the State of Qin. Although disloyal, he sent people to attack the state of Qin. Sima An, the ancestor of the Sima royal family in the late Jin Dynasty, was sent to Hanoi and was also sent.
