胡武 / Hu Wu (Zhang Chu)

胡武 / Hu Wu enters the wiki through Qinji 129-3 as the si guo inspection official 陈胜 appoints alongside 诸坊. His job is to inspect faults among Zhang Chu officials and commanders.

The source says the pair’s enforcement is extremely harsh: returning commanders are criticized, people they or Chen Sheng dislike are handled without normal judicial review, and severe treatment of commoners is treated as loyalty. Hu Wu therefore helps turn 张楚政权 from a revolt with broad symbolic appeal into a fearful court around Chen Sheng.
