What are the idioms and allusions about Guangwu Uprising in Chen Sheng?
launch a revolt
During the reign of the Qin Dynasty, the population of the whole country was only 20 million, but building the Great Wall, guarding the southern development, building the luxurious Epang Palace, building the mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, etc. cost a total of two or three million people and unknown human and financial resources. Taxes, military service, corvee and criminal law are also very heavy, and the burden on the people is too heavy and life is very hard. In 209 BC, Yangcheng (southeast of Dengfeng County, Henan Province) local officials sent two officers to escort 900 migrant workers to Yuyang (southwest of Miyun County, Beijing) for defense. They are in a hurry every day for fear of missing the date. Because the laws of the Qin Dynasty are very harsh, if you miss the deadline, you will be beheaded.
When these people went to osawa Township (southeast of Suxian County, Anhui Province), they were caught in a continuous rainstorm, and the roads were flooded and impassable. They had to stop and wait and watch the time go by.
One of the migrant workers named Chen Sheng secretly discussed with his friend Guangwu: "It is thousands of miles from Yuyang, so we can't finish the work before the deadline. Are we going to die in vain? " Guangwu said, "Let's run away." Chen Sheng said, "No, escaping and being caught back is death. They're all dead anyway. It is better to rebel. Even death is better than death in vain. The people have had enough of the sufferings of the Qin Dynasty. It is said that Qin Ershi is the youngest son, and it is his brother Fu Su who should be emperor. Xiang Yan, the general of Chu, is a hero. Let's call on the world to play II in the name of Fu Su and Xiang Yan. People from Chu will certainly come to help us. "
So Chen Sheng called everyone together and said, "A person can't die in vain, because he will become famous when he dies. Is it meant to be? "
Everyone unanimously agreed that Chen Sheng and Guangwu were elected as leaders, and 900 people occupied osawa Township at once, playing the banner of "Chu State". Farmers nearby responded after hearing the news. Without weapons, they cut branches to make swords and spears and bamboo to make flagpoles. The ranks have grown rapidly, which is called "rise" in history.
This insurgent army captured Chen County (Huaiyang, Henan Province), and Chen Sheng was acclaimed as "King" with the title of "Zhang Chu".
Driven by this rebel army, people all over the country have killed officials. In response to the uprising, the storm swept through most parts of China.
However, because the front line of the insurgents was too long and the orders were not unified, they only lasted for three months in the case of Qin Jun's fierce counterattack and isolation. After the failure of Chen Sheng and the uprising, the peasant army led by Xiang Yu and Liu Bang continued the struggle against Qin. In 207 BC, Xiang Yu defeated Qin Jun's main force at Julu. At the same time, Liu Bangling came to Xianyang. The rulers of the Qin Dynasty surrendered to Liu Bang, and the Qin Dynasty perished.
"Death" comes from the idiom and famous sentence of uprising in Chen Sheng.
