The world has been suffering for a long time, why doesn t anyone in Guanzhong dare to rebel?

Because the Legalist politics pursued by the Qin State has always implemented the policy of "the people do not accumulate strength, and the subordinates will also use it". The people's livelihood and people's power in the world have been consumed in countless labor and hard labor, so no one can stand up and resist. As we all know, the Qin Dynasty was the first great unified dynasty in China's history;

It can be said that in the thousands of years of historical changes in Chinese history, it can be regarded as a remarkable position. The reason why the Qin State was able to grow smoothly from a small border country outside the border to the most powerful overlord in the world in terms of military strength is undoubtedly among the six countries; Of course, it was because Qin Xiaogong followed the Shang Dynasty to change the law, so that the Qin State became a "country of tigers and wolves" that pursued Legalist politics.

Of course, although Legalism had the necessary historical conditions for its birth at that time, it was also a rather cruel and violent political system. Therefore, the so-called "the world has suffered Qin for a long time", although the Qin State has always been able to use its own high-pressure means to deter all the people out of breath;

However, the common people still had a strong dissatisfaction with Qin Guohuai. In the end, Qin Shi Huang, a generation of heroes, passed away, and all the dissatisfaction converged into a vast ocean, completely overthrowing the Qin State; Moreover, the tyrannical Qin was forever engraved on the pillar of shame in history.

But let's think about it the other way, since everyone in the world has been suffering for a long time, when Shang Ying was "divided into five horses", it was also "the death of the clan, laughing for the world". Since everyone is so unaccustomed to them, why didn't they rebel before, and did they dare to raise the banner only after the death of Qin Shi Huang?

In fact, the question is not whether these people dare or not, but whether they can or not. There is such a sentence in the "Book of Shang Jun" written by Shang Ying, called:

The home does not accumulate millet, and the upper Tibetan is also. The country does not accumulate strength, and it is also used.

First, let the people have no room in their homes, so that they can first work hard, and secondly, they will not have the strength to rise up and rebel; Second, the state uses all kinds of labor to exhaust the people's livelihood and people's strength, so that the people have no ability to rise up and speak out against it.

The Qin State is prosperous, and it is not the Qin people who suffer but the people of other countries. You talk about the court behind your back, even if you praise the court and exterminate the clan.

Because the laws of the Qin Dynasty were cruel, if the rebellion was not successful, it would not be as simple as death, and it would be tortured to death.

It is from the "Chen Shi Family" in the "Historical Records" written by Sima Qian in the Western Han Dynasty.

The excerpt is as follows: In July of the first year of the second year, Fa Lu Zuo Shishu Yuyang, 900 people tun Daze Township. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang are all in charge of the line, and they are the tun chiefs. It will rain heavily, the road is impassable, and the degree (duó) has been lost.

If the deadline is lost, the law will be cut. Chen Sheng and Wu Guangnai conspired and said: "If you die today, you will die, and you will die if you make a big plan; Waiting for death, what about the dead country?

Chen Sheng said: "The world has been suffering for a long time.

The translation is as follows: In July of the first year of Qin II, the imperial court sent poor people to garrison Yuyang, and 900 people were stationed in Daze Township. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were both incorporated into the team of the Yan Shu and served as the commander of the tun. It happened that it was raining heavily, and the road was impassable, so it was estimated that it had been delayed.

If the deadline is missed, they should be beheaded according to the law (of the Qin Dynasty).

Chen Sheng and Wu Guang then discussed: "Now even if you escape (be captured), you will die, and if you start an uprising, you will die, and you will also die, is it okay to die for state affairs?" Chen Sheng said: "The people of the world have been ruled and persecuted by the Qin Dynasty for a long time.

Chen Shijia is one of Sima Qian's "Historical Records", which is a biography of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the leaders of the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty.

In 209 BC, 900 soldiers led by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang staged the first large-scale peasant uprising in Chinese history in Daze Township (southeast of present-day Suzhou, Anhui), which opened the prelude to the brutal rule of the Qin Dynasty. Based on the activities of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, this article describes in detail the whole process of Chen Sheng's uprising, as well as the succession and defeat of the rebel armies that rose one after another. The article recounts the great momentum of the rebel army and affirms Chen Sheng's exploits in the struggle against the rule of the Qin dynasty.

At the same time, the author Sima Qian also discussed the reasons for the final failure of the Chen Sheng uprising: the leaders of the uprising lacked the ability to command the overall situation, their own degeneration, and improper use of personnel, which led to the defeat of the rebel army in the battle and internal detachment. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang both died at the hands of their own entourage or subordinates, and their endings were deeply tragic.

"Chen Shijia" is from Sima Qian's "Historical Records" volume 50.
