In 190 AD, the first year of the early peace of the Han Dynasty, in mid-April, Liu Biao wrote to the imperial court, reprimanding Yuan Shu, Sun Jian, and Wang Kuang for being disrespectful. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Can Liu Biao fight a war of words? Won't the three of Yuan Shu? With Liu Biao's recitals just passed to Chang'an, Yuan Shu's recitals and twists and turns also arrived, without exception, these recitals all said that Liu Biao, who was a pastor of Jingzhou, embezzled the property of the three people

The war of words, the endless war of words, but at least Jingzhou stabilized in a short period of time, and the people also got time to recuperate.

Although there is no major war in Jingzhou for the time being, a major earthquake broke out in Chang'an!!

In 190 AD, the first year of the early Han Dynasty, at the beginning of summer and May, the patriarch of the Xun clan, when the dynasty Sikong Xun Shuang died!!

Died at home, it was rumored that Xun Shuang died very comfortably and without any pain, but according to someone who revealed that the day before Xun Shuang's death, Dong Zhuo went to Sikong Mansion and had a very unpleasant quarrel with Xun Shuang, as if it was because Dong Zhuo wanted to open the furnace to create five baht coins, but it was not confirmed.

Of course, even if it has not been confirmed, but the people in Chang'an are panicked, if Dong Zhuozhen privately creates five baht money in order to raise money and grain, then the people in the Sanfu area will suffer.

Just when Chang'an was in turmoil, there was a big move in northern Xinjiang, this time the dominant nature was also the core of Liu Tai's regime, as the god king Liu Tai announced in public in Huacheng that the monetary system was reformulated, and the existing currency gold, silver, and five-baht money were abolished, and from now on, gold and silver in northern Xinjiang could only be used as a luxury product, and the five-baht money was all abandoned.

Earthquake!! Compared with Xun Shuang's death, the currency exchange initiative in northern Xinjiang is the real earthquake, Liu Tai's move can be said to be completely challenging the bottom line of the Han royal family, and even more than these royal relatives, including the gate lord clan and some big merchants were shocked by Liu Tai's actions.

You know, the five-baht coin is the longest-used currency in the history of my Chinese coins, and it is also a single table of weight as a monetary unit, which has played a very important role in the history of the development of my Chinese currency for 5,000 years, and the five-baht coin was originally released in the fifth year of the Han Dynasty Emperor Liu Che Yuanjia (118 BC), and the scope of use at the beginning was in the Central Plains, which has achieved very good results, and then was promoted to all the states and counties of the Han Dynasty, and has become the main coin for the people of the Han Dynasty to buy and sell items, although the development history of the five-baht coin, There are a few twists in the middle (it was abolished during the Wang Mang period), but it has been preserved and is of great significance to the rule of the Han Dynasty.

The five-baht coin laid the foundation of the Chinese tradition of round square holes. This small copper coin is round on the outside and square on the inside, symbolizing the universe of heaven and earth. The word "five baht" is cast in seal characters below. "Baht" is a kind of weight lecturer unit in ancient times, and one-twenty-fourth of one tael is one baht, so the so-called "five baht" is actually very light.

Liu Tai's abolition of the five-baht coin is really terrifying, you know, the five-baht coin symbolizes the long-lasting rule of the Han family, not to mention Liu Tai, who has not yet been called the emperor, even Liu Xiu, who founded the Eastern Han Dynasty, does not dare to abolish it easily, but the problem is that Liu Tai has ordered the abolition, and even the paper money is ready.

The reason why Liu Tai wants to issue a new currency during this time period is actually already ready, Liu Tai knows very well that after a while, Dong Zhuo will pay attention to the five baht money because of the lack of money and food, and he did so.

History records that Dong Zhuo built Hewu, melted nine of the twelve bronze men of the First Emperor, obtained five baht and nearly one billion, and messed up the coin system of Sanfu and even the whole world.

There are many kinds of new coins released in northern Xinjiang, and the proportion of exchange and the number of new coins are also very strictly controlled, and no one is allowed to point fingers at the coins.

This new law has not caused a very big shock without any accidents, in northern Xinjiang, the criminal law is generally not too unreasonable, even if the heavy punishment is only to punish the main culprit, it can be said that there are very few people who are implicated in the family, I don't think that this time Liu Tai in order to pave the way for the new currency, actually promulgated such a strict criminal law, the three ethnic exiles!!

Of course, no one dares to have any objections to Liu Tai's order, in northern Xinjiang, Liu Tai is a veritable emperor, who dares to be the first bird, then wait for death, well, for the time being, let's talk about the situation of the new currency.

There are four units of the new currency denomination released by Northern Xinjiang, namely cents, mao, jiao, and yuan, of which the units of cents and mao are relatively small, and the main exchange is five baht money, one cent is equivalent to ten five baht coins, ten cents is equal to one cent, and one cent is equal to one hundred five baht coins!

Next, ten cents is equal to one dime, one dime is equal to one thousand and five baht coins, ten jiao is equal to one yuan, and one yuan is equal to ten thousand plants and five baht coins.

After the yuan, the main exchange is gold and silver, the ratio of silver and five baht is very large, in the north of Xinjiang is the ratio of 1,000 to 1, because the development of the Northern Xinjiang regime is very good, so the proportion of gold and silver up and down is not very large, generally speaking, the market is one or two silver for a thousand dollars, well, that is to say, a dime is equal to one or two silver.

This proportion is actually very low, rumors in the Central Plains and other regions, even tens of thousands of five baht money can not be exchanged for one or two silver, silver is a limited item, although it can be excavated, but the number of unearthed is small, but the copper coin is different, the amount unearthed is very large, the production process is also very simple, some of the gate valve clan in order to earn great benefits, will pay attention to the private copper coin, so that the proportion of copper money is more cheap.

Speaking of silver, naturally can not forget gold, in fact, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, because gold is too valuable, most of it is used for rewards, and rarely circulates in private, but as a later generation, Liu Tai knows the value of gold very well, so after the establishment of the Northern Xinjiang regime, Liu Tai established gold as a trading currency, mainly used in the hands of the upper nobles.

The ratio of gold to silver is one to hundred, one pound of gold is equal to one hundred taels of silver, and when converted into paper money, one pound of gold is equal to ten yuan. (Note: In this era, the weight of a pound is very different from that of later generations, so don't confuse it, of course, this can also be distinguished.) Currency exchange is a big project, nearly 20 million people in northern Xinjiang, even ordinary people, at least tens of thousands of money at home, you know, tens of thousands of copper coins piled together can be comparable to a hill.

Although Liu Tai's move is a bit absurd, but it was supported by the people, in the third day after the promulgation of the new currency, the first batch of banknotes in various banks were exchanged almost, although Liu Tai prepared a lot of banknotes, but can not be thrown down at once, when the time comes to form inflation, it will be a very troublesome thing.

Of course, gold and silver as currency was canceled, but it does not mean that it was abandoned, Liu Tai announced in Hwaseong that from then on gold and silver are valuables, it can also be said to be hard currency, and there is no limit to the time for exchanging paper money, there is a limit on the five baht money, and it is not exchanged within a limited time, and after the time, the five baht money will be placed at home as a shareholder.

At the same time, in order to alleviate the pressure on the bank, Liu Tai allowed some local commercial banks to buy gold and silver, and the proportion should be about the same as that of the bank, and these gold and silver collections were mainly used to create valuables, such as gold and silver necklaces, bracelets and other things.

Some local gold banks are also allowed to buy gold and silver with paper money, but they must give a similar proportion to the banks, otherwise they will be punished by the government. This article must be declared.

Northern Xinjiang is the focus of attention of the princes and people of the world, how can such a big move not be publicized? As expected, the news of the birth of the new currency swept the whole world in just over a month, and the consequences were also very serious, except for Hebei, the five baht coins in the major states and counties were depreciated on a large scale, and even some businessmen who saw business opportunities bought the five baht coins in the hands of the people at a very low price, sent them to Hebei to exchange paper money, and then used paper money to buy Hebei goods.

In order to prevent this situation from continuing to occur, Liu Tai announced that those who can exchange paper money must be the people of northern Xinjiang who have registered their accounts, and some foreign businessmen must exchange gold and silver for paper money, as for copper coins, they should keep it themselves.

In fact, in this exchange tide, not only the merchants frantically purchased the five baht money in the Central Plains and other regions, but even some of the gate valve clans, including the princes, were involved, Liu Tai's hand, it can be said that these princes, gate valves, and merchants suffered heavy losses in an instant, and it is good to say that the depreciated five baht money is exchanged for district banknotes, but it is not a fool to exchange precious gold and silver for a bunch of paper.

Gate valves, princes suffered heavy losses, this is a phenomenon that Liu Tai is willing to see, and the people because of the continuous depreciation of the five baht money, even the son can not survive, this is not the situation that Liu Tai wants to see, after all, how to say, the reason why Liu Tai wants to do this, or for the sake of the people, if because of their own reasons, the people in the Central Plains and other regions have lost their way of life, how can it not be said.

In order to minimize this situation, Liu Tai issued another order, that is, ordinary people can exchange paper money at the branches of Kyushu commercial banks in various places, and buy things from the commercial houses with paper money, of course, if they are willing to migrate to northern Xinjiang, the commercial banks are still unconditionally responsible for sending them to northern Xinjiang to live, which is an iron law that has not changed.

Liu Tai's measures for the people naturally touched a large part of the people, if these people were not too fond of the soil, I am afraid that they would have followed the business house to the north of Xinjiang a long time ago, but the problem is that sometimes even if they want to migrate, the local government will not allow it.

After Liu Tai issued the new currency, some interested princes, such as Cao Ying, Yuan Shao, Liu Bei and others, saw the impact of the new currency on the people under their rule, and immediately ordered that the people were strictly forbidden to leave the country.

The matter of the new currency, for the time being, it will come to an end, let's pay attention to the war in the Western Regions, since November 189, Wen Chou entered the Western Regions, now nearly eight months have passed, these eight months, the war in the Western Regions is unpredictable, although the Tianci army has no major losses, but it is also very tired, it is rumored that Wen Chou, who is the main general, has many hands in front of the battle, if it is not for Wen Chou's bravery, the Tianci army is afraid that it will suffer several big losses.

There are as many as 350,000 iron horsemen in the Rest Empire, and the commander is the Emperor of Rest, and the morale is naturally like a rainbow, and the most important thing is that the rest is close to the Western Regions, and the problems of grain and grass are easy to solve, so the situation of Wen Chou is very unfavorable.

In any case, Wen Chou only has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and he is fighting in other countries, and his morale is very low, not only is food and grass and baggage a big problem, but a series of things such as drugs in the army are bothering Wen Chou, Wen Chou is very tired and difficult, but he has persevered until now.

The battle of more than eight months in the Western Regions is the longest war fought since the establishment of the Northern Xinjiang regime, the most difficult logistical supply, and the lowest morale, in fact, Liu Tai has wanted to temporarily give up the governance of the Western Regions several times, and after recovering Liangzhou, he will consider the Western Regions, but the problem is that the old man of the Rest Empire is too much, and he actually pressed the Tianci army step by step, and the Tianci army was very tired, and Liu Tai, who was already relatively stubborn, how could he admit defeat to the old man in peace?

However, there has been good news from the Western Regions recently, which makes Liu Tai smile, what good news? In order to conquer the Western Regions, the old man went out with all his might, and there were not many soldiers and horses left in the country, and most of the people who stayed were not henchmen, so some people who coveted the territory and throne of the Rest Empire naturally came out.

The first to set off a rebellion in Anbu was the younger brother of the old man Vologis IV, Osroes, who not only occupied the royal city with private soldiers, but also inherited the throne on the spot, announced the abolition of Vologis IV's throne, and demanded that Vologis IV immediately exchange military power for the country.

Bold, very bold, you know, Osroes has only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands, and he dares to argue with the old man who has 350,000 iron horsemen? Isn't this looking for death?

Angry, the old man was very angry, why did he have such a stupid brother? He is expanding his territory, and as a younger brother, he is actually making trouble at home, isn't this a fool?

But the problem is that now in the war situation in the Western Regions, the Tianci army has retreated all of a sudden, and the 350,000 iron horsemen who rest in peace in peace cannot retreat at once.

After entering the Western Regions, this resting old man was fascinated by the Western Regions, sixty or seventy-year-old people, they don't know what is called moderation, one dragon and two phoenixes play more diligently than anything else, if there is no big emotion, it's okay, now the mood is coming, can support it?

The old man fell ill, saw the fighter plane, and launched an attack on the rest camp for the first time, late at night, hundreds of thousands of Tianci troops rushed into the rest of the camp, and fled in embarrassment with 350,000 rest iron horses, but unfortunately, the combat power of the rest iron horses was really good, after some chaos, or blocked Wen Chou's offensive, seeing that there was no cheap to pick up, Wen Chou could only retreat.

Although the rest of the iron cavalry reacted quickly, but the casualties were still as many as 30,000, such a big loss, in the battle of up to half a year has never appeared, the rest of the old man who got the news was vomited blood again, it can be said that he was dying, in desperation, the rest of the old man could only hand over the command to the daughter Vologis and Dianfen who went out with the army.

Yes, it's the daughter, the youngest daughter of the old man, well, what about the other sons? Dead, all dead, killed by the Romans and Kushans, the two falls of the national capital, what else can be left for the old man to rest? Even those delicate princesses were captured by those Roman generals for recreation, and they wore an unknown number of green hats on their heads.

Diana Fen is a female general, a female general who shows the army as her home, and she advocates the rule of force very much, and the old man actually said many times that if Dianfen is a son, there is no dispute, and the throne will definitely pass to Dianfen.

Of course, this is said before all the sons of the old man died, after the death, Dianfen became the only heir to the throne, and the only bloodline of the old man, not to Dianfen, to whom? Is it difficult to give it back to others?

In fact, the reason why Osroes wants to rebel is that there is a big reason for Dianfen, in Osroes's opinion, Dianfen is too strong as a woman, and the phrase "the most poisonous woman's heart" is a woman, and Dianfen is likely to become a representative of this famous saying, can Osroes not be afraid, can he not be worried?

Dianfen inherited the throne, Osroes didn't have any nonsense to say, but Dianfen said that if she gave birth to a son and a half daughter, it would be troublesome, you know, although the throne of the Rest Empire can be passed on to the female surname, but the descendants of the female surname have no inheritance rights, and can only be selected from the royal family.

Well, there is also a special condition, the descendants of the female surname can inherit the throne, that is, the children of the royal family are almost dead, and there is no male surname to inherit the throne Ha, a very good idea, and a very good tradition, I really don't know which stupid ancestor of the Rest Empire set a special case, in Osroes's view, this special case is completely prepared for Dianfen, Dianfen's strength can be famous, if you inherit the throne, can you not pave the way for your children? I'm afraid that when the time comes, I will do it to the members of the royal family as soon as possible.

Is there a difference between dying in a few years and dying right now?

No!

So of course, Osroes rebelled and became emperor!

Osroes II!
