Chapter 19: Chen Sheng and Wu Guang
In the first year, students read and write in order to get out of the mountains and live a better life in the outside world.
Don't look at the people in Qingshanzhai who live well, at least they can eat enough, but in addition to the full meal, other places are very lacking.
For example, the problem of illness, everyone will get sick, once sick, there is no doctor in the cottage, and there is no money to go to the outside world to find a doctor to see a doctor and buy medicine, ordinary minor diseases are fine, relying on people's own resistance, it will not take long to recover, suffering from other serious diseases, almost can only wait for death.
If they could, no one would want to stay in the mountains and live in isolation.
Compared with adults who have married and had children and want to pursue a stable life, Fang Nan's students are still relatively young and have the idea of pursuing a better life, with this pursuit, in the first year, most of the students are studying hard to master the knowledge taught by Fang Nan as much as possible, which is their ability to live in the outside world after leaving the mountain.
Now that the second school year has just started half a month, the students' thinking has undergone some changes, and they have taken more than a dozen general knowledge classes, and they have found that learning knowledge is such an interesting thing, no longer because of the pursuit of life in the outside world, but to observe the things around them, to think about the things around them.
This kind of change allows students to increase their ability to think for themselves, which is a good thing, and Fang Nan doesn't want to teach some ordinary students who are "cramming".
In the new school year, the students' learning life is not only the change of adding general knowledge classes, but also the frequency of Fang Nan's storytelling.
Fang Nan has described the modern world to the students, told mythological stories, and also told historical stories, compared to the first two, historical stories are the most told by Fang Nan.
Today's story is particularly important to Fang Nan, as this is the first time Fang Nan has told students about the "peasant uprising".
In the school, when they saw the teacher telling a story, all the students sat down honestly and focused all their attention on Teacher Fang Nan, listening to the teacher's story is one of the few entertainment activities in the cottage, and they can also tell their own stories to their families when they return home after listening to the story.
"Today we are telling a story that happened at the end of the Qin Dynasty, there are two celebrities in the story, one is called Chen Sheng, and the other is called Wu Guang.
There is a record in the "Historical Records": When Chen Shi was young, he tried to farm with people's helpers, dropped out of farming, hated for a long time, and said: 'Gou is rich and noble, don't forget each other.' The servant smiled and said, "If you are a servant, how can you be rich?" Chen Shi sighed and said, "Huh! ’
Chen Sheng is Chen Sheng, the word is involved, just from the sentence 'The Swallow Bird Knows the Ambition of the Bird', we can see that Chen Sheng is not an ordinary person.
In July of the first year of Qin II, the Qin Dynasty conscripted troops to defend Yuyang, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang were also among the conscriptions, and were appointed as the commanders of the team, and the two of them and 900 other poor peasants were escorted by two Qin officials to Yuyang day and night.
When going to Daze Township, Qi County, encountered heavy rain for days, the road was blocked by floods, impassable, everyone saw that the deadline for arriving at Yuyang was approaching, anxious like ants on a hot pot, I don't know what to do, because the Qin Dynasty decree is very strict, all the soldiers who conquer the border, do not arrive at the designated place on time, will be beheaded.
Chen Sheng and Wu Guang killed two Qin officials together, summoned their subordinates and said: 'When it rains, the public has lost the deadline, and the overdue should be beheaded.' By the first order, do not behead, and the dead are fixed sixteen or seventeen. And the strong man is not dead, and he is famous when he dies, and the prince will have a kind of Xiangning! ’
The sentence "the prince and the general Xiangning has a kind of" aroused the anger of the companions, and they were willing to obey the dispatch of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, Chen Sheng appointed himself as a general, and Wu Guang as a captain, first attacked Daze Township, and then attacked Qi County, and conquered many cities in a row, which caused a very big impact at that time.
Under the influence of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, the people in various counties who could not stand the tyranny of the officials of the Qin Dynasty arrested and sentenced their officials and killed them in response to Chen Sheng, and within three months of the uprising, there were people in Zhao, Qi, Yan, Wei and other places who established themselves as kings under the banner of restoring the Six Kingdoms.
However, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising lasted only six months, Wu Guang was killed by his subordinates in Xingyang, and Chen Sheng was killed by his coachman Zhuang Jia Design on the way to escape. In the end, Zhuang Jia took Chen Sheng's head to ask Qin Jun for merit and reward.
However, the uprising of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang fundamentally shook the rule of the Qin Dynasty, creating favorable conditions for Xiang Yu and Liu Bang to follow, and finally the Qin Dynasty collapsed. ”
"The teacher has finished telling the story about Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, and now the teacher asks the students a question: What do you think after listening to this story?"
Not long after Fang Nan asked the question, Wang Mu was the first to stand up and said: "Teacher, I think that the Qin Dynasty died in tyranny, if the Qin Dynasty could be better to the common people in the world, the Qin Dynasty would not have died second." ”
Wang Mu's words are not something that ordinary people can say, even teenagers who have been learning to read and write for several years in the outside school are difficult to say such words, but these words came from the mouth of a mountain people's child, which shows that after a year of education in Fang Nan, Wang Mu and other students' knowledge has greatly increased.
After Wang Mu, Xu Yue'er stood up and said: "Yan Que knows the ambition of the bird, Chen Sheng was just an ordinary person when he was young, but he has lofty ambitions that others do not have, I think we should all set a goal and work towards it." ”
Zhou Lei, Hu Zhuang, He Yan, Lin Qiuyu and other students all stood up one by one and expressed their thoughts, some said "Yanque Anzhi Honghu Zhizhi", some said "the Qin Dynasty died in tyranny", some said "the prince will have a kind of Xiangning", and a few students said "The Qin Dynasty was not good to the common people, and the common people stood up against the Qin Dynasty".
Hearing these remarks, Fang Nan nodded, did not say "right" or "wrong", Fang Nan was not in a hurry to input the idea of "creating a rebellion against the Ming Dynasty" into the minds of the students, just take it slowly step by step, after all, Fang Nan himself is only thirteen years old.
It's just a story, and Fang Nan's students don't have the idea of "creating a rebellion against the Ming Dynasty" in their minds, which is still far away from them, they are listening to a story, and after listening to the story, they can tell their thoughts, but they can do things like "goals" in advance.
After class, a student told the other students about the goal he had just set: "I want to be a big landlord and own a lot of farmland." ”
Some students also said, "I want to be a big official, so that the people of the whole world can have enough to eat." ”
Hu Zhuang also set a goal for himself, to be a general who commands thousands of troops and horses in the future, and kills all the bandits.
