Chapter 87
And since the First Emperor destroyed the six states, there have been no royal families left in this world.
Therefore, now, if you are not of the imperial family and not of the nobility, you can never dream of becoming an official!
And Ying Su making the nobility pay taxes, moreover, according to the Qin Banzhi tax system, absolutely counts as touching the interests of all nobles in the world!
All nobles in the world are furious!
Inside Xianyang City, when people discuss matters, there is still some Gu Ji; they only discuss it in someone's house!
But... in other commanderies, discussing this matter is done directly at the Commandery Governor's Office!
It is spacious here, big enough to accommodate enough people!
Discussing matters here is also convenient enough!
So, they directly discuss the great matter of rebellion at the Commandery Governor's Office!
Saying such words is truly laughable.
But... in their mouths, they cannot say it that way; according to their argument, the new emperor is holding the First Emperor hostage, forcing the First Emperor to abdicate; now, we must attack and enter Xianyang to help the First Emperor regain the throne!
In the blink of an eye, everyone entered the Commandery Governor's Office!
A noble said, "Nowadays, our resistance to paying taxes is useless; the rebellious son Ying Su will kill anyone who does not pay taxes. Under the rule of the First Emperor, this is absolutely impossible; the First Emperor loved the nobility, and even when destroying states, he never touched a hair on our nobles!"
"Therefore, we must support the First Emperor!"
"Push this new emperor down and welcome the First Emperor back to the throne!"
Another noble said, "Yes, this time, to support the First Emperor, I contribute five hundred private soldiers from my family; for no other reason, but to vent our anger for the nobility!"
"Who does he Ying Su think he is? Does he really think that once he becomes emperor, everyone will listen to his words like fools?"
"What kind of thing is he, making the nobility pay taxes?"
"From the Xia Dynasty to the present, there has never been the argument of making the nobility pay taxes!"
"In our former Yan State, we did not pay taxes; even until now, we do not pay a single grain of tax!"
"Attack and enter Xianyang City!"
"Hail the First Emperor!"
"Attack and enter Xianyang City!"
"Hail the First Emperor!"
At that moment, many people began to shout!
Similarly, many people also began to donate their family private soldiers!
Just like that, you five hundred, I three hundred, he eight hundred!
In the blink of an eye, a small Kuaiji Commandery actually gathered a full sixty thousand private soldiers!
But soon, everyone hesitated; who should lead this private army to merge with the private armies of the whole world and kill into Xianyang City!
At that moment, everyone was recommending each other.
But no one was willing to yield!
At the critical moment, the largest noble of Kuaiji Commandery recommended Xiang Lianggong!
"Xiang Lianggong?"
"Who is this person?"
Many people had never heard of this name!
But after the name Xiang Yan was revealed, everyone stood in awe!
In former years, he held off Wang Jian's six hundred thousand troops with a hundred thousand troops for a full three years.
In the end, although he was defeated, causing the Chu State to be destroyed!
However, with such a record of a hundred thousand troops losing to six hundred thousand, even though he lost, it is hard to say he was not a hero!
Such a figure made everyone admire him!
But admiration is admiration; letting Xiang Yan lead the troops, some still did not submit!
Xiang Yan did not waste words and directly gave Xiang Yu a wink.
Instantly, Xiang Yu looked at a great tripod weighing a thousand jin and said to everyone, "If I lift this tripod, I will not only lead the troops of Kuaiji, but you must also write recommendation letters for me, so that all the private armies of the nobles in the world will be led by me!"
"In this battle, if I, Xiang Yu, do not destroy the Qin State and do not kill Ying Zheng, I am willing to cut my own throat!"
He shouted aloud...
And as soon as these words were spoken, everyone was stunned!
Destroy the Qin State, kill Ying Zheng?
Everyone's hearts panicked to the extreme!
Xiang Lianggong even glared fiercely at Xiang Yu and shouted angrily at him, "What nonsense are you spouting? What killing Ying Zheng, what destroying the Qin State?"
"It is to force Ying Su to abdicate, welcome the First Emperor back, and suggest to the First Emperor to return to the feudal system!"
He shouted.
And as soon as these words were spoken, the nobles present felt much more comfortable.
As for words like destroying the Qin State and killing Ying Zheng, many people only thought of them; if asked to do it, they truly dared not!
Ying Zheng!
Who is Ying Zheng?
A fierce man who swept through the six states and unified the world!
Common people are just too ignorant, which is why they dare to talk about rebellion!
Nobles?
Which noble dares to talk about rebellion while the First Emperor Ying Zheng is alive?
Moreover, do you think Wang Jian, Wang Ben, General Meng Tian, Tell Meng Wu, and these people are vegetarians?
If you say you are welcoming the First Emperor back, then these people might not care.
But if you say you are destroying the Qin State, try it?
Besides that, there are also the nobles of the former Qin State!
If you destroy the Qin State, those nobles of the Qin State will not agree either!
After all, after unifying the six states, under the rule of the First Emperor, they were the ones who benefited the most!
Moreover, in the thirty-six commanderies of the Qin State, nobles appointed by Qin Shi Huang were stationed everywhere.
If you say something about destroying the Qin State, look and see if these people will immediately report to the First Emperor Ying Zheng!
At that time, look and see which side the First Emperor Ying Zheng will stand on?
Therefore, even if they want to, the words "destroy the Qin State" can never be spoken.
What they want to resist is merely the nobles paying taxes!
Under Xiang Liang's repeated assurances, the nobles all turned to look at Xiang Yu.
He said he could lift a thousand-jin tripod?
One person said, "If you lift this tripod, I will abide by your words!"
The others nodded!
Although the actual weight of this tripod was not a thousand jin, it was still seven hundred jin.
Being able to lift a seven-hundred-jin tripod also makes one a divine person!
Fully qualified to lead troops!
Xiang Yu did not delay a single moment and directly lifted the tripod over his head!
The crowd watched helplessly as Xiang Yu not only lifted the seven-hundred-jin tripod but showed not the slightest sign of strain; at that moment, they instantly felt it was miraculous.
Similarly, without any delay, he directly took command of the sixty thousand private armies gathered from the Kuaiji Commandery!
At the same time, he also obtained recommendation letters from all the nobles of the Kuaiji Commandery!
Electing him as the Grand General of all the private armies of the nobles under heaven!
As for exactly how many troops this could gather, no one knew, but there was no doubt it would be very, very many!
Because, at the place where troops were gathering, it was not just the Kuaiji Commandery!
All the nobles of the thirty-six commanderies were gathering!
Next, Xiang Yu's goal was to lead the sixty thousand private armies to Julu Commandery.
This was the result of a joint deliberation by all the nobles under heaven; all private armies under heaven were gathering at Julu!
Afterwards, they would attack Xianyang City and welcome the First Emperor!
Also because of this slogan, during their march, no one blocked them at all!
On the contrary, the governors of those cities and commanderies, 2.3, looked at them with the gaze of seeing a hero!
