Personage introduction

Hu Hai, the second emperor of the Qin Dynasty, completely shattered the good dream of the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty to pass on the throne to all generations. The fatuous rule of Qin II

In the autumn of 210 BC (the 37th year of the first emperor of Qin Dynasty), the first emperor of Qin Dynasty died on his way to the sand dune (northeast of Pingxiang County, Hebei Province). Eunuch Zhao Gao wooed Lisi, forged imperial edicts, abolished Fu Su, and established Hu Hai as emperor, which was Qin II.

Qin II was a fatuous monarch, whose cruelty was higher than that of Qin Shihuang. When he buried the first emperor of Qin Dynasty, he ordered that all the maids without children in the harem should be buried. He was afraid that the secrets of the mausoleum would be revealed and the craftsmen who built the mausoleum would be buried alive.

Qin II raised a large number of dogs, horses and animals for hunting. When Xianyang was short of food and grass, the officials of the counties forced the people to collect and deliver them. People who transport grain and grass should bring their own dry grain, and they are not allowed to eat grain within 300 li of Xianyang, which has pushed the peasants into a desperate situation of death.

Penalty of Qin II

When Qin Shihuang was the first emperor, the punishment was already very severe. One person broke the law, and three families, one family broke the law, and the neighbors sat together. The second made greater efforts to "kill people as loyal ministers", and officials at all levels were executioners who pursued this kind of criminal law. Such as Fan Yang's order to kill people like numbness, resulting in the tragic situation that "the criminals are half in the way, and the dead people accumulate in the city every day.".

At the same time, the struggle within the ruling class is also very sharp. In order to consolidate his position, Qin II not only killed Meng Tian, Feng Quji and other ministers, but also killed more than 20 of his brothers and sisters.

At this time, the already sharp class contradictions reached their climax, and the long brewing peasant uprising finally broke out. rise up in arms

In July 209 B.C. (the first year of Qin II), Qin II ordered that 900 poor farmers along the Huaihe River be recruited to Yuyang (Miyun, Beijing) for garrison. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were also enlisted, and designated as Tun Chang.

Under the supervision of Qin Wei, the 900 soldiers traveled to Daze Township, Qi county (liucunji, xishipo Township, Suxian County, Anhui Province). They were unable to reach the designated place on schedule due to heavy rain and blocked roads. According to the law of Qin Dynasty, garrison soldiers should be beheaded if they are delayed.

At this critical moment of life and death, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang conspired to revolt. They killed Qin Wei and launched a garrison uprising, known as the "great Chu". Chen Sheng became a general and Wu Guang was a Duwei. The garrison soldiers "cut wood into soldiers and uncovered poles as flags" and raised the banner of the first large-scale peasant war in Chinese history.
