The full text and translation of Chen She family

Chen Sheng, a native of Yangcheng, is called She. Guangwu is from Yang Xia, and his name is Uncle. When Chen She was young, he was hired to farm with others. Once, he stopped farming and went to the high ground by the field (rest). He sighed and hated for a long time because of disappointment, and said, "If anyone has money, don't forget each other." The hired man smiled and replied, "You are hired to farm the land. Where did you get rich? " Chen Sheng sighed and said, "Alas, how do sparrows know the swan's ambition!"

In July of the first year of Qin Ershi, the court recruited poor people to stay in Yuyang, and 900 people stopped in osawa Township. Chen Sheng and Guangwu were both incorporated into the Guard and served as the captain of the Guard. It coincided with the heavy rain and the road was impassable. It is estimated that the deadline for guarding the border has been postponed. If you are late, you will be beheaded according to the law. Chen Sheng discussed with Guangwu and said, "Now it is death to flee, and so is the uprising. It's also death, and it's for national affairs, okay? " Chen Sheng said, "People all over the world have suffered from Qin for a long time. I heard that Qin Ershi, the youngest son, should not be a monarch, but his eldest son, Fu Su. Because of Fu Su's repeated exhortation, the emperor sent him to lead troops out of the customs. Now some people hear that he is innocent and junior killed him. Most people heard that he was clever, but they didn't know that he was dead. Xiang Yan, the general of Chu State, has repeatedly made meritorious military service and cared for soldiers. The Chu people love him very much. Some people think he is dead, others think he has escaped. Now, if we pretend that our people are a team claiming to be sons Fu Su and General Xiang Yan, and set out for the world, there should be many people responding. " Guangwu thinks what he said is right. Go to divination. The fortune teller knew their intention and said, "Everything you want to do can be successful, and you can make contributions. But have you asked ghosts and gods? " Bobby Chen and Guangwu are very happy. They thought about it and the diviner said, "This is just to teach us to subdue everyone first." It's just that vermilion writes the word "Chen" on silk and puts it in the belly of fish caught by others. The soldier bought fish to cook, and found that there were words written on the silk in the belly of the fish, which was already strange. Chen Sheng also secretly sent Guangwu to a temple in the jungle next to the station. After dark, he held a bonfire and pretended to be a jack-o'-lantern. He screamed with a fox, "Chu Xing, Chen Wangsheng." The soldiers were in a panic at night. The next day, the soldiers talked about it everywhere, pointing at each other and gesturing to Bobby Chen with their eyes.

Guangwu always cares about his foot soldiers, and the soldiers are more willing to obey Guangwu's orders. One day, two officers escorting the guards were drunk. Guangwu deliberately said many times that he wanted to escape, which made the officers very angry and made them insult him to anger the soldiers. That officer really whipped Guangwu. The officer drew his sword (to kill Guangwu), and Guangwu jumped up, grabbed the sword and killed the officer. Chen Sheng helped him and killed two officers together. Chen Sheng and Guangwu told their subordinates, "You got wet in the heavy rain, which delayed the time of guarding the border. If you miss it, you will be beheaded. Even if they can only be exempted from execution, six or seven out of ten people died because they were guarding the border. Besides, it's okay for a strong man not to die. If he dies, he will do great things. Will princes have natural noble species? " Everyone who belongs to it says, "obey your orders." So he pretended to be the team of Fu Su and Xiang Yan, and obeyed the wishes of the people. Showing your right arm (as a sign of the uprising) is called big out. Build a platform (with earth) and swear to sacrifice the heads of (two) captains to heaven. Bobby Chen became a general and Guangwu became a captain. The insurgents first captured osawa Township, retreated from osawa Township and attacked Qixian County. After the capture of Qixian, he led troops to capture the east of Qixian and attacked Luo, Zhou, Zhe, Qiao and other places, all of which were captured. During the March, the soldiers were gathered along the road. In Chen county, there are six or seven hundred chariots, more than one thousand cavalry and tens of thousands of infantry. When attacking Chen county, the county magistrate and the county magistrate were not in the city, and only the officials guarding the city fought the rebels in the hole in the gate. The insurgents could not be defeated (for a while), and the guarding city was killed (soon). The insurgents entered the city and occupied Chen County. A few days later, it was ordered to convene a meeting between township government officials and local celebrities to discuss. Township officials and prestigious people all said, "General, you personally wore solid armor and held sharp weapons to crusade against the tyrant's evil deeds, destroy the tyrannical Qin Dynasty and rebuild the State of Chu. In terms of contribution, you should be the king. " Chen Sheng became king, with the title "Zhang Chu", which means "Zhang Da Chu State". At this time, in the Qin Dynasty, the people oppressed by officials in various counties and counties punished the local governor and killed them in response to Chen She.

Chen Sheng was king for six months. After he became king, he took Chen County as his capital. Once upon a time, a man who was hired by him to farm heard that he had become a king and came to Chen County. He knocked on the door of the palace and said, "I want to see Chen She." The officer guarding the palace gate will tie him up. After his repeated explanations, he was released, but he still refused to inform him. When Wang Chen went out, he stopped on the road and shouted Chen She's name. When Wang Chen heard this, he summoned him and returned to the palace in a car with him. After entering the palace, I looked at the hall, the house and the curtain. The guests said, "Hey! King Chen She's palace is high and deep! " Chu people called "Duo" "Gang", so the saying that "Gang is king" spread all over the world from Chen She. This guest is more and more free to go in and out of the palace, and often tells people some old stories about Chen She. Someone said to Wang Chen, "Your guests are ignorant and talk nonsense, which is harmful to your majesty." Wang Chen killed the visitor. Since then, all Wang Chen's old friends have left voluntarily, and there is no one close to Wang Chen anymore.
