Chapter 948: Bloody Rain
As a matter of fact, what happened to the capital, the grassroots military and civilians, and officials basically did not care about it, and they only cared about whether their income was reduced and whether prices were rising.
A smooth transition is Huang Han's established policy, and a lot of preliminary work has been done to this end, and if grain prices are well controlled, they will be able to better stabilize prices.
In recent years, high-yield crops have been promoted, water conservancy facilities have been built, and locks and a large number of small locks have been built in Nantongzhou, Yangzhou, Taizhou, and Haizhou, so as to improve the disaster-resistant capacity of the fields.
Everything Huang Han did was not in vain, and the natural disasters were better contained, and the total grain output was able to basically ensure the supply of rations.
Of course, this is also due to the promotion of the household registration book and grain book system, which has set a maximum price limit for the grain market, which originally had no discipline, and it is absolutely impossible for businessmen who are engaged in grain business to hoard and sell at high prices.
Because the price exceeds the maximum price, a state of emergency will be implemented, and the people can go to the "Red Flag Grain Bank" to buy rations at the same price according to the population.
With the hanging sword of the maximum price limit, grain merchants really dare not touch the high-voltage line, do business honestly, earn the price difference between retail and wholesale, and earn hard-earned money and technical money for rice and wheat processing into rice and flour.
The Longwu Naval Division led by Huang Yong has been escorting the maritime trade, and imports more than 4 million stone of grain from Da Viet, Quang Nam, Luzon, and Siam every year, and most of them are polished rice.
With this grain and the 20 million stones obtained from the division of the tuntian, it is enough to curb the price of grain and crack down on profiteers.
The "King of Han," who was supported by all the people, led more than 100,000 "Red Banner Army" to Beijing after completing Pingliao in a high-profile manner, and there was no need to deliberately show off his might and might, and the "Red Banner Army" would have already shocked the world.
Jiannu was originally a nightmare for the military and civilian eunuchs in the northern Ming Dynasty, but now it has been annihilated by the "King of Han".
The big businessmen with a little strength are the spokesmen of bureaucratic capital, and they are not only well-informed, but they also read books and newspapers, and of course they are aware of what will happen next.
I'm afraid that I can't tie my knot, how can anyone dare to fight with the "King of Han"?
Moreover, more than half of the capital of too many large businessmen has been invested in industry, and the funds used for speculation are already insufficient, so of course it is impossible to make waves.
Why did house prices rise again and again in later generations?
A big reason is that capital is promoting, without him, there are more and more people with capital, there are too few investment channels, and the speed of banknote depreciation is too fast.
In the end, the poor people who just needed to have their own nest overdrew their income for a lifetime, bought high-priced houses from speculators, and calculated the accounts, those hundreds or tens of millions of houses are equivalent to all of them being cast in silver.
In a responsible manner, Huang Han not only introduced policies and regulations to curb the greed of capital, but also guided capital to enter the industry.
In the next few days, Chongzhen, who had gradually adapted to loneliness, suddenly saw the minister again, which was a persuasion lobbyist group formed under the instruction of Huang Han.
A three-person group composed of Zheng Guochang, Wen Tiren, Yang Yipeng, Zhang Fengyi, Liang Tingdong, Wu Xiang, Zhang Zhiji, Zhu Chunchen, Zhang Zhifa, Kong Wenshi and other ministers and nobles took turns to enter the Forbidden City to chat with the emperor.
Everyone expressed a meaning, advising Chongzhen to understand the current affairs and Zen as soon as possible, and clearly pointed out that the entire capital was taken over by the "Red Flag Army", and the Ming Jinyiwei and Dongchang are now taking refuge in the "Han King".
If the emperor is obsessed, there may be a certain "Red Banner Army" general who will directly lead his troops into the Forbidden City to kill the emperor in order to invite merit.
But if Chongzhen chooses Zen Rang, then the "King of Han" will kill the White Horse and swear to protect the royal family, who dares to attack the Zhu Ming royal family, waiting for the severe punishment of the nine clans.
The piercing Wen Tiren spoke very bluntly, clearly pointing out that if the emperor is obsessed, the ministers also have a way to deal with it, and it is completely possible to announce that the middle way of the prince will collapse today, and then support the crown prince or a certain prince to succeed to the throne.
At that time, was it still difficult to coerce the young new monarch to take the Zen position?
Wen Tiren advised the emperor not to be stubborn anymore, why did he have to make the Forbidden City bloody?
These ministers and nobles not only came to the emperor every morning and afternoon to lobby, but also took turns to persuade the crown prince Zhu Cihong.
Wen Tiren, Zhang Fengyi, Liang Tingdong and others persuaded the emperor to be able to maintain the etiquette he should have, and persuaded the prince at the end who was destined not to ascend the throne to rely on the old and sell the old, and some words were naked threats.
They pointed out that the "King of Han" was benevolent, willing to protect the Zhu Ming royal family, and willing to give glory and wealth to the royal family.
But who can guarantee that the "King of Han" is a civil official and military general who can still maintain restraint when he has not received the news that Emperor Chongzhen promised Chan for a long time!
Zhu Cihong was not a hard bone, and he was suddenly disassertive when he was coaxed and frightened.
He simply came to the imperial study to meet his father and begged, and made it clear that he did not seek to be the emperor one day, but only wanted to be a rich man in peace and security in this life.
Although Chongzhen is strong, he also has a soft side, and he actually cares a lot about his sons.
In history, he forced the queen to be martyred, killed the six-year-old Princess Zhaoren with tears and broke Princess Kunxing's left arm, but did not kill several sons, but arranged for them to flee.
Now that several sons seem to be in the hands of the "King of Han", Chongzhen is inexplicably afraid.
A few days later, he learned from Zheng Guochang that the 60,000 elite Beijing battalions of the Yellow River defense line had been reorganized by the "King of Han", and when the Yellow River froze, he would go south with more than 100,000 "Red Banner Army" to recover the Central Plains.
The last glimmer of hope was shattered, and Chongzhen realized that the general trend had gone, and his heart had begun to waver.
The filthiness in the capital will not affect the military operations of the officers and men of the "Red Banner Army", and Han Zi, Sun Chuanting, and Chen Qiyu led the soldiers to join up with the men and horses who have already moved in place, and they did not rush to cross the Yellow River.
First, it is because it is time-consuming and cost-effective to organize 200,000 horses to cross the river at this time, and it is more ideal to wait for the Yellow River to freeze over a month later and launch a general attack.
Second, the "Red Banner Army" must be mixed with Liu Zhilun and Fangzhenghua's 60,000 elite men and horses of the Beijing Battalion, and it will take a run-in period of one or two months before they can be like a finger.
Liu Zhilun and Fang Zhenghua did not return to Beijing to show their attitude, and the two got a handwritten letter from Huang Han.
In the letter, Huang Han promised that Liu Zhilun could be selected to serve as a secretary of the general staff if he was willing to be an official in Beijing, and he was willing to be a local official, and he could be elected as a political envoy to the 13th Five-Year Plan of the two provinces, and if he was willing to lead troops, he could enter the General Staff Headquarters as the chief of the General Staff.
The current Ming Dynasty is no longer two capitals and thirteen provinces, there are more "Hanjiang Province" and "Liaodong Province", and it is temporarily "two capitals and fifteen provinces".
Next, the country of Da Viet and Quang Nam will be born, and the "Annam Province" will be born, and the "North Sea Province" will be established in the north of the Great Wall.
After the settlement of the Liukou, the "Red Banner Army" had to attack westward and cross the Tianshan Mountains to establish "Tianshan Province", "Xijiang Province", and "Northwest Province......
