Reasons for the Failure of Guangwu Uprising in Chen Sheng

1, there is an idiom in China that pride goes before a fall, which means that proud soldiers are bound to be defeated on the battlefield. As soon as Chen Shengzai took office, he became very proud, listened to other people's slanders and killed his own people at will. Gradually, his relationship with the people who rebelled together was not as friendly as before.

2. Chen Sheng and Guangwu are farmers, unable to change their limitations and have no combat experience. On the battlefield, they only know how to fight hard, but they don't know that fighting can rely on wisdom. Therefore, if you want to win the battle, you must know some military knowledge and have a good method of war command. So this is also one of the reasons why the Guangwu Uprising in Chen Sheng failed.

3. Chen Sheng and Guangwu did not have good leadership skills, and they could not get rid of the limitations of the peasant class. Even if the uprising succeeded in becoming the monarch China, there was still no progress. But society is moving forward, and they have no chance to develop without a way forward.

Extended data:

Daze Township Uprising, also known as "Chen Guang Uprising", was a part of the peasant war at the end of Qin Dynasty. This uprising dealt a heavy blow to the Qin Dynasty and opened the prelude to the peasant uprising at the end of the Qin Dynasty. This is the first large-scale civilian uprising in the history of China.

In the autumn of the first year of Qin Ershi (the first 209 years), the Qin court recruited Zuopin to defend Yuyang, and recruited more than 900 people including Chen Sheng to defend Yuyang. On the way, I was stopped by heavy rain in osawa Township (now Suzhou) of Qixian County, so I couldn't reach my destination as scheduled. In desperation, Chen Sheng and Guangwu led the defenders to kill the officers who escorted them and launched the army.

The insurgents elected Chen Sheng as general and Guangwu as captain. Lianke osawa Township and Qixian County established the Zhang Chu regime in Chenxian County (now Huaiyang, Henan Province), and all localities responded in succession.

Daze Township Uprising failed because of Chen Sheng's pride after seizing power and Qin General Zhang Han's suppression of Qin Jun.
