Is it true that Chen Sheng was killed by his coachman?

It was really killed by his driver, Zhuang Jia.

After the death of Qin Shihuang, Hu Hai succeeded to the throne. He is extravagant and dissolute. The stricter system made the Epang Palace and the Imperial Tomb, which were built on a large scale during the first emperor's period, and the people who complained about the Xiongnu's war with South Vietnam even more miserable and lived in dire straits.

In July of the first year of Qin Ershi (209 BC), Chen Sheng was recruited to Yuyang. The accompanying peasant team marched to osawa Township, Qixian County, and met with continuous heavy rain, which blocked the road and prevented it from reaching its destination on time. According to the provisions of the Qin law, this delay should be cut. Just as everyone was in a hurry, Bobby Chen and Guangwu secretly discussed: In this case, running away is also death. It is better to die like this than to do the opposite. It's worth dying to do great things.

Therefore, they used the tactics of "fish belly full of pills" and "burning foxes" to launch a garrison uprising, kill the officers in custody, and put forward the slogan of "Great Chu Xing, Chen". Chen Sheng became a general and Guangwu became a captain, which led to the first peasant uprising army in history. It took only half a year for Chen Sheng to plan the uprising, claim the title of king and establish the country, and be defeated and killed by coachman Zhuang Jia. Why is there such a tragic ending in just half a year?

Chen Sheng has a noble personality. When I worked hard for others in my early years, my companions complained and felt that the future was bleak. He looked at the endless fields under the scorching sun and said to his companions, "Be rich and don't forget each other." When all his companions laughed at him, he hit back with "Sparrows know the ambition of swans". In osawa Town, he can make a hullabaloo about with all his arms, not only because of his prestige, but also because of the cooperation and secret manipulation of Guangwu. His arrogance prevented him from paying tribute to the Xiaxian when he was king, brainstorming and being approachable.

He is very arrogant. With the continuous growth of the team and the deepening of the anti-Qin struggle, Chen Sheng became more and more proud. He is partial to faith, not partial to listening, and he is cruel to heroes. He also killed a fellow villager who defected to him because he called him by his nickname. Therefore, it has lost more and more people's hearts. Generals sent to various places did not listen to Chen Sheng's restraint, and even killed each other for power and interests. For example, Tian Cang, the rebel general who besieged Xingyang, disagreed with Guangwu's opinion and killed Guangwu under the pretext of Chen Shengzhi's life, which led to the failure of the uprising.

Chen Sheng personally led the insurgents to fight back, but failed to recover the defeat after all. On the way back, he was killed by Zhuang Jia, the driver who followed him for several months. Some people say that Zhuang Jia was bought by Zhang Han to be an undercover, but I think it is because Zhuang Jia saw clearly Bobby Chen's bearing and personality, and thought that he had no chance to make a comeback and could not achieve a career. There is no hope to follow him, so it is better to kill him as the capital to take refuge in Zhang Han. So, Chen Sheng was killed with regret.
