Chapter 170: The Advancing Qin Army

The officials were stunned for a moment, visibly hesitating.

Jiang Chuan's tough style is more or less in everyone's minds.

Just shouted a few voices in the crowd and didn't tighten, after all, the law does not hold the people accountable, and Jiang Chuan cannot punish everyone.

But now that they want to stand up alone, many people hesitate and fear, who knows what is waiting for them when they stand out?

Seeing that no one stood up, Director Zhou said: "I'll ask again, if you don't accept fiat currency, please come forward." If you don't stand up, if you have any objections, then don't blame the court for being strict. ”

As soon as he said this, someone finally stood up.

"Hmph, what is the official afraid of, the man is frank, if he doesn't accept it, he doesn't accept it." The man who stood up straightened his chest and said loudly, looking very excited.

"Lord Zhao, count yourself as a junior brother." One immediately followed, and also stood in the open space on the right.

Then a number of people came forward one after another.

"Is there any other adult who doesn't accept fiat currency?" Director Zhou asked with a faint smile.

No one has stepped forward anymore.

Most of the officials are not stupid, and at this time, many people can see that something is not right.

After waiting, Director Zhou saw that no one stood up again, picked up an official document from the table and read it aloud: "The regent Wang Yi is here, and the ministers will take the order!" ”

When all the officials heard this, they all knelt down to listen to the order.

"Legal tender is the legal tender of the country, and if you refuse to accept legal tender, you can be regarded as confronting the imperial court and disobeying orders. As an official of the imperial court, you openly oppose the decrees of the imperial court, which is by no means the way of a human servant, and it is really a great rebellion. In this case, the king was immediately removed from his official positions and fame, and demoted to the rank of commoner. If there is a knighthood, all titles are exempted, and they are also reduced to commoners. In addition, during the investigation of the rights and wrongs of the official body, the Jinyi guard violated the law and discipline and brought disaster to the country and the people. If there is verification, it will be handled in a separate case. Regent Egawa Order. ”

After Director Zhou read the king's decree aloud, with a wave of his hand, a group of brocade-clothed guards rushed out from behind, pounced in front of the officials who stood up, rudely took off their official hats, stripped off their official uniforms, and wrapped the chains around their waists at the same time.

These officials only reacted at this time, panicking one by one, shouting and struggling, but there was the opponent of this group of wolf-like Jinyi guards.

Anyone who intervened and resisted was either knocked out of his teeth by the scabbard of the embroidered spring knife, or he was kicked to the ground and couldn't get up.

In fact, these brocade guards have long been completely controlled by the Black Ice Platform and have become the peripheral organizations of the Black Ice Platform.

Chen Zhaojun is actually under the actual control of Jinyiwei now, and Jinyiwei's command room is also obedient in front of him.

Soon, all these officials who stood up were locked up by the Jinyi guards, and they all wore disheveled heads, their noses were blue and their faces were swollen, and only a close-fitting white middle coat remained, which looked so embarrassed.

The remaining officials at the scene were shocked, frightened and angry, but they didn't expect that if they didn't accept the fiat currency, they would not only lose their crown and be dismissed, but also go to the edict of Jinyiwei, which was simply too expensive.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is imperative for the imperial court to implement fiat currency, and no one can stop it. Zhou Mou advises all the adults, those who know the times are Junjie, if they still want to use the mantis arm as a car, these people in front of them will be the end. To tell you the truth that you don't like to hear, the Ming Dynasty is not suspended without you. In this big tomorrow, there are not many others, but there are many people. If you feel that the position under the ass is panicking, then give way as soon as possible, and the people waiting for the upper position in the back can still line up. That's all, you can do it yourself. ”

Director Zhou's words made the rest of the people feel a stir in their hearts.

This is absolutely to the point, and anyone in this world can leave it.

Jiang Chuan also said the same thing, that is, to tell these officials that if they still want to continue to work, then cooperate well. If you don't want to do it, get out of here as soon as possible, there are still many people waiting behind.

Jiang Chuan's attitude has always been very clear, that is, even if all the officials of the imperial court are gone, he is not afraid.

On the contrary, he even hoped from the bottom of his heart that it would be better for these people to resign, so that he could rebuild a new regime without any scruples.

The officials who stood up were quickly pushed and taken away by the brocade guards, and the rest of the people regained their quiet, and no one dared to make trouble anymore.

"Okay, it seems that the rest of you are all handsome people who know the times. Then let's start handing out the money. Director Zhou looked at the rest of the people and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The bank staff behind the desk of "Shoufu Xia-sama" began to look at the roll call of the roster, and the people on the side handed the fiat currency that had already been counted to Shoufu Xia Junze, who was the first to step forward.

Xia Junze took his share of the money, counted it, and then nodded, "There is labor." ”

The other officials didn't say anything when they saw Shousuke, and they didn't dare to do anything more, so they all quietly lined up to receive their salaries.

……………………

Jiangchuan's purpose is to use coercive means to promote fiat currency from top to bottom, as long as these big shops and officials are dealt with first, it will be much easier for the people below.

The common people also look at the above, if the big shops start to accept fiat currency, and the officials also start to use fiat currency, the people will not have much to worry about accepting it.

When Jiang Chuan was vigorously promoting fiat currency in the capital, the two armies of Di Qing and Baishan were also constantly recovering lost territory.

Let's talk about Di Qing's army to conquer the east, since the recovery of Jinling and the annihilation of 80,000 Dashun troops, the Qin army can be said to be invincible in the entire Jiangnan region, a thousand miles a day.

Yingtianfu, Suzhou, Ningguofu, Huizhou, Songjiang, and Hangzhou have recovered and returned to the imperial court.

The Qin army's naval division divided a detachment and cooperated with the Qin army to go up the river, conquering Anqing Mansion and Jiujiang Mansion all the way, reaching Huangzhou Mansion, and arriving at Wuchang City.

Another force of the eastern army was led by Di Qing's lieutenant general, and it was also all the way to conquer the city, successively recovering Luzhou Mansion and Anqing Mansion, pressing towards Wuchang City from the north, and the main force led by Di Qing formed a flanking trend on Wuchang City.

Wuchang City is an important town in Huguang, and its strategic location is very important, and it has always been a place that soldiers must defend.

It's just that at this time, Wuchang City no longer has enough defense force, and the defenders only have less than 50,000 horses, and most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled.

The Wuchang garrison did not wait for Di Qing's army to arrive at the city, and then sent people to surrender to Di Qing.

The Qin army occupied Wuchang City without bloodshed.

After the loss of Wuchang, the prestige of the Dashun army plummeted, and the county capitals of Huguang surrendered to the imperial court one after another, and Wuchang Mansion, Jingzhou Mansion, Xiangyang Mansion, Changde Mansion, Kuizhou Mansion, Jingzhou Mansion and so on were recovered one after another.

The entire Jiangnan region was full of the Qin army's triumphant advance, and the local armed forces and green forest armed forces from all over the country also came to vote, and the power of the Dashun army was almost uprooted and completely expelled from the Huguang area in the south of the Yangtze River.

Di Qing's troops pointed directly at Yuzhou in the Central Plains, and all parts of Yuzhou also surrendered, and Di Qing's vanguard army had passed through Nanyang Mansion and was approaching Tongguan, the gateway to Shaanxi.

At this time, the army led by Bai Shan had completely recovered Jinzhou, and led the army to cross the Yellow River, enter the territory of Yan'an, and was rapidly advancing in the direction of Xi'an City.

The two armies have faintly formed a flanking attack on the remnants of the Great Shun Kingdom.
