The turmoil actually started in the capital first, and the notice abolishing paper money was torn up as soon as it was posted! A large amount of paper money in the hands of the people has become waste paper, and many people have been in vain overnight after many years of continuation, and this anger is incomparable! The crowd began to storm the government and the Royal First Bank!

A large number of people exchanged the corresponding silver taels and gold from the bank from the beginning, but the bank obviously could not withstand this run, and soon closed the door and closed the board, and the people with a large amount of paper money went to the official mansion, hoping that the official family could give an explanation! But the government is just adhering to the will of the imperial court, and these chaotic people are naturally driven out by sticks.

So the crowd finally became angry, and they carried sticks and other weapons and began to storm all the outlets of the government and the First Royal Bank, from the beginning of the impact to the final smashing and looting, they grabbed the officials and their subordinates, stripped naked and beat them to death! Then he rushed into the treasury and robbed it, and the First Royal Bank was naturally among the ranks of the robbers.

The armament of the patrol soldiers and horses in the capital is now in charge of part of the royal guards who came to Xiao Ming to reorganize, but the elite troops are basically going to the front line, and after the war subsides, they are stationed in the local area, controlled by the military's privy council, and the forbidden army guarded by Kangjing is all reorganized into the guards, and what remains is some old, weak, sick and disabled!

Over the years, because the military has been under the supervision of the cabinet and the Privy Council, the entire armed escort force in Kangjing is basically responsible for these second-line guards, and Gaozong once made a request to Xiao Ming, so Xiao Ming transformed a part of the Tiger Guards into the guards of Gyeonggi, known as the Great Song Dynasty Royal Tiger Army!

The City Patrol Division naturally could not stand idly by in the face of the turmoil, and immediately whistled and dispatched, they dispersed the crowd and arrested those ruffians and hooligans who were looking for sex to cause trouble, and the first evildoers who smashed and looted! But the City Patrol Division was not equipped with advanced weapons, his hands were full of clubs, and his knives and guns were still in the warehouse, and he could not take them out without the orders of the Privy Council!

The city patrol division takes the second-line guards as the team, but as many people choose to retire and join the factory to work, a large number of personnel have been lost, and they have no choice but to recruit in the society, but at present, the country is stable, the people are rich, and no one is willing to be a soldier at this time, only those idle people in the society are willing, or go to the city patrol division after increasing the monthly salary, so the quality of these people is not high, and when suppressing the turmoil, they also participate in robberies from time to time!

In desperation, the imperial court mobilized more than 20,000 people from Liu Qi's Guards Yao Wushi and Banding Division in Zhenjiang to enter Beijing to quell the rebellion, which is currently the most elite troops of the Great Song Dynasty, equipped with the most advanced rifles and artillery! As soon as Liu Qi's department entered the Beijing Division, the turmoil was suppressed, these people were some rabble, although the people were angry, they lacked the correct demands and leaders, so the trouble dispersed quickly!

But soon, this chaos began to spread, first in several counties in the suburbs of Beijing, and finally in major cities, the entire streets of Hangzhou and Mingzhou were in shambles, the people closed their doors, and the bustling city streets were full of smashing and looting! All businesses are closed for shelter, and many people are afraid to go out on the streets.

In desperation, Liu Qi's troops rushed to these cities from Beijing to extinguish the fire, but they caught this piece and caught it again, and in the second month, all the roads in the south of the Yangtze River and the two Zhejiang roads were all in chaos, and the whole country began large-scale chaos!

The whole cabinet is worried, if this chaos does not stop, the next step will definitely develop into an armed insurrection! The whole society was about to become turbulent, and several important ministers all came to Gaozong to complain about the situation, hoping that Gaozong would stop abolishing paper money and stabilize the situation first, but Gaozong was still furious.

"Let you discuss and come up with a solution, but you can't come up with it, and now I come up with a way and you oppose it! What's the use of your cabinet, the current chaos is bound to use heavy punishments, the widows must not only insist, but also severely suppress, the leader will punish the nine clans, see which one dares to make trouble? ”

At the same time, the redemption of the third batch of railway bonds expired, due to everyone's expectations for the prospects of the whole country, so the price of the bonds also fell sharply repeatedly, and the entire bond market also fell into a downturn.

Now when the third installment arrives, the first bank and the household department of the Great Song Dynasty have taken out the money at all, and the reputation of the Royal Railway Company of the Great Song Dynasty has been discredited, and the door is crowded with people, and everyone has scolded that they have no promise, and many chaotic people take advantage of the situation to coax and prepare to smash the office of the railway company!

The same thing happened at the outlets of the First Royal Bank, as well as at the main offices of the Royal Railways, and many places had already been smashed, and the bank guys were basically afraid to go to work again, but soon a notice was posted at the offices of all the railway companies!

At present, the First Bank cannot pay the payment, but the Richang Longsheng Bank can, and the investors who hold the bonds are invited to go to the Richang Longsheng Bank to redeem the bonds, and the bank also acquires the newly issued bonds.

This is undoubtedly good news, and suddenly a large number of people went to the bank outlets of Richang Longsheng to redeem the bonds, and the redemption of the Richang Longsheng is very stable, and it is according to the actual value of the bonds, and it is an overseas silver coin! This silver coin entered the market sneakily under certain circumstances, and it was sought after as soon as it appeared!

Richang Longsheng Bank claims that this kind of silver coin has been approved to be linked to the gold stored by Richang Longsheng Bank due to the very advanced casting process, and can also be cashed in gold according to the market value, which undoubtedly gives investors a kind of confidence, that is, Richang Longsheng gold reserves are abnormally abundant, and many people know that the real thing behind Richang Longsheng is Xiao Ming.

The Japanese silver coins flowing to Shuri were all used to mint silver coins, and such silver coins continued to flow to the country of the Great Song Dynasty, not only to acquire a large number of railway bonds and to absorb those high-quality assets such as mines, farms, large-scale machinery manufacturing, shipbuilding, etc.

Such a thing will naturally be noticed by the pedestrian division, so there are constantly such reports sent to Gaozong, Gaozong Zhao Gou is naturally very angry about this matter, and he finally decided to take action, and the target is Ai Qili, the actual head of Richang Longsheng who has resigned from the First Bank of the Imperial Bank!

The pedestrian division and the capital's arresters acted together to quickly surround Aiqi's mansion in the capital, but they pounced! Ai Qili has long since disappeared, and Gaozong cannot seize the Renchang Longsheng Bank, because according to the provisions of the Law on Trade and Trade, banks engaged in financial and commercial activities are protected by law, and the entire criminal department currently does not have the right to exercise judicial power over banks and large merchants!

Only then did Gaozong know that many of the laws and regulations designated by Xiao Ming were weakening the imperial power and the imperial court, which made him even more annoyed! The unfortunate thing was not over, three days later, except for Shen Gai and Tang Siwei in the imperial cabinet, all the first and auxiliary ministers resigned to Gaozong! Everyone is powerless to change the current chaos, so they can only pick and choose!

The cabinet shoulders all aspects of the entire Great Song Kingdom, the first assistant is basically elected by a hundred officials, Shang Province and several ministers of the Privy Council currently only leave a few people in the Privy Council, and no one can exist militarily, the general resignation of the cabinet paralyzed the entire government immediately, and Gaozong had to participate in the entire political affairs of the country by himself!

However, the turmoil in the centralized country has already arisen, and sending troops to suppress it requires the consent of several ministers of the Privy Council, and Gaozong also knows that they will not agree, if he strongly asks and intervenes, they will have to agree under the weight of imperial power, but this will definitely force these people to resign, and it will be over at that time!

The urgent Stagecoach Express constantly reported the turmoil in various places to Gaozong, and the flying kite system has long been unable to provide information for the entire imperial court, which is an additional device provided by the Mo family to Richanglong, but since Richanglong was forcibly annexed by Gaozong, the national material price has risen sharply, and the Mo family claims that there is a lack of necessary raw materials, the stability of the flying kite cannot be guaranteed, and the routine maintenance cannot be completed, so the stagecoach express system is used again.

In the second month of the incident, the situation was even worse, there was finally a food shortage in most parts of the north, and a large number of hungry people began to gather in Jiangnan and Jingshi, and the pressure in Jiangnan and other places suddenly increased sharply, or it would not be long before Jiangnan and other places would also have a food shortage, but Liangguang and Fujian Road, which have a large amount of grain, were not spared, and the food shortage was more fierce than elsewhere!

The Great Supervision Office specially sent people to investigate, but found that there were various channels for profiteers who hoarded grain in various places, and although a large number of such people were arrested, they could not cut off such things, and the flow of grain became even more confusing, and after several changes, they even disappeared, which made the inspectors have no idea where to start.

Finally, a small area of armed riots finally broke out in several remote places first, and the Great Song Dynasty Jiedu envoy had no right to deal with it, because the current Jiedu envoy was only an honorary official position for those who had made outstanding military achievements, and had no actual authority, and the real power of the envoy had no right to mobilize the army.

First of all, there was a rebellion in Jinghu and Jinghu, and the revolt belonged to the destitute people in the urban and rural areas, and with the support of a large number of urban workers, they not only obtained weapons but also gained control of the railway, so that the trains ordered by the imperial court to transfer grain from the Lianghu Valley to Jiangnan were all detained when they passed through the areas under their control, and then a large-scale food shortage finally broke out in Jiangnan!

Gaozong Zhao Gou looked haggard, he didn't sleep for a few days and nights, and the attendants of the Yellow Gate kept running to the Qinzheng Palace, sending stacks of urgent recitals of chaos all over the country to Gaozong's desk, but he couldn't see it at all! After a long sigh, Gojong collapsed backwards on the dragon chair.

"Is it really such incompetence to be a widow?" Zhao Gou was extremely frustrated!

At this time, the university scholar, the first assistant of the cabinet, Tang Sihui, ran in a panic, he knelt down and kowtowed, saying long live, after Gaozong retreated left and right, Tang Sihui stepped forward and reported: "It is rumored that Xiao Ming, the imperial master, was not killed, and he will return to Kangjing in the near future, Your Majesty, how should I wait?" ”

"What! He's coming back? Gaozong asked in surprise.

"The ministers in the court and the central government are all rumoring, this kind of thing should not be fake!" Tang Si retired.

Gaozong suddenly smiled nervously: "Okay, good! It's good to be back! I look at this kind of chaos, how he solved it! ”

Tang Sihui asked, "Your Majesty, how to deal with the matter of Changlong that day?" "He was the one who helped Gojong the most in the time of Richanglong, so he was most concerned about this.

"Just give it back to him, it's an empty shelf anyway!"

Tang Si retreated: "I'm afraid that he will not give up, if this national chaos is popular because of his return, where is Your Majesty's authority?" ”

Gaozong suddenly said with a sense of excitement: "Everything but according to the will of heaven......!" ”
