Jingshi, Luoyang.

"Bring it." Several soldiers forcibly took the money of a merchant who was about to pass through the city gates, and then threw some bonds at will.

"Fuck off, or Grandpa will make a hole in your head." The soldier raised the firearm in his hand and threatened loudly. The people in line had to watch honestly.

Not far from the merchant, there were two corpses, and on the corpses, there were two bonds with blood stains.

After the merchant left, the people behind had to step forward. Then a forcible search is carried out, and the money is found, which is directly regarded as the purchase of bonds.

Dong Zhuo ordered the issuance of bonds, and the implementation of paper money was met with great resistance, not to mention bonds. In everyone's opinion, bonds are completely deceptive, and no one will buy such a thing. This would be an unprecedented loss to them.

But the order must be carried out, otherwise, where the military expenditure comes from, relying only on the only few finances and taxes, it is simply impossible to sustain the increasingly huge military expenditure.

In order to solve such a purpose, Li Dao had to use the army again to carry out such a thing, and he had the army forcibly "sell" bonds.

The so-called sale is actually a robbery.

Many people don't have much money anymore, but the soldiers can search in the open, find out, give each other some bonds, and then take the money. Even if it is a paper issued by themselves, they will not take it, because the value of paper money is depreciating too quickly. The merchants still have a hundred dollars in their hands, but they already have ten thousand dollars in their hands. Paper money and bonds have become an important means for Dong Zhuo to accumulate wealth.

The people dare not speak out. The army is constantly patrolling the streets, and if there is the slightest dissatisfaction, they will correct the law on the spot, and many people will be killed. In order to survive, many people have to endure such a life to continue.

"The whole of Luoyang has fallen into a huge catastrophe, and if we want to restore it, not only the simple economic order, but also the confidence of the people must be restored as soon as possible. And Dong Zhuo's various behaviors have made it more difficult for us to recover. An intelligence officer wrote.

The IRA is also watching what is happening here. Regarding Dong Zhuo's various behaviors, they believe that Dong Zhuo will cause a situation that cannot be recovered at all for Luoyang's economy.

But the IRA is also only concerned, and there is still a lot more that they need to do.

For example, pay attention to the situation of the Kwantung Coalition Army. This part has dispersed the intelligence forces of the IRA a lot.

The Kwantung Coalition Army consisted of the 18th Route Local Armed Forces. Most of their military forces are equipped with the cold weapons of the past, and the logistics supply model has not changed. The army marched slowly, dragged. Inefficiency. Plus it is composed of the 18th Route Local Armed Forces. Ingredients are confused. Each has its own agenda. Their spirit of cooperation can be imagined. The IRA has been closely following these matters.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"We don't have a high evaluation of the Kwantung Coalition Army, and I think that as long as Dong Zhuo establishes an effective defensive front near Luoyang, the Kwantung Coalition Army will not be able to cross it at all, whether it is a field battle or a tough battle. The Kwantung Coalition lacked the necessary military strength to deal with such a thing. Ma Heng made an assessment based on the intelligence gathered by the intelligence department, which made a relevant comparison with the Republican Army, Dong Zhuo's army, and the Kwantung coalition army. In terms of weapons and equipment, transportation and logistical supplies, the Kwantung coalition forces are the worst, although they can mobilize more materials, but the problem is that the inefficient mode of transportation will increase their logistical pressure and make it difficult for them to develop to a greater extent, which is a great disaster for anyone.

Of course, this is just a purely military report. The angle of consideration is also very one-sided.

"IMHO. I believe that economic issues should be the most important concern for us. Jia Xu took out a telegram provided by the intelligence department and handed it to Shang Wu, the Minister of Defense is from military issues to politics, and in order to serve politics, many things must be understood, and can be done in some situations, in such a state, they must complete some of their own things, to achieve the development of the advantages of the relevant state

"Dong Zhuo has recently issued a large number of banknotes, and the denomination of their banknotes has risen from 100 to 10,000, perhaps, in the future, larger denominations of banknotes will appear, in such a situation, the speed of their inflation, and the crisis they may encounter in the future, will further increase, after all, it is difficult for the people to survive." Jia Xu said.

Shangwu nodded in agreement with such an opinion, but no one can say when this crisis will erupt, or whether it will erupt at the most critical time. It's just that it's a very potential threat.

"From a championship point of view, I don't think it's going to be very good in the absence of enough effective organisation. On top of that, there are a lot of people who pose a big threat to us, and in such a state, we don't actually have any benefits. Ma Heng said. In Ma Heng's view, any action that lacks effective organization is a failure, and the IRA is unlikely to gain enough from such an action that lacks actual and effective organization. This is a force that can be ignored.

"That's right, the lack of effective organization is a big threat to anyone. In such a situation, a lot of things will become difficult to act, and even if this happens, what will be the result? I think it's going to be very simple. Shang Wu said. Both Jia Xu and Ma Heng are well aware of what simple means: popular uprisings, in the absence of effective organization, cannot pose a threat at all, but on the contrary, can lead to more large-scale killings.

"At present, we have many, many plans, most of which are carried out by external forces to carry out our powerful military operations, but our military operations are, after all, external forces. If Dong Zhuo takes some violent measures to destroy, coupled with the powerful offensive of the Kwantung coalition army. In that case, our hope of seeking Luoyang will be completely frustrated, and we should understand that such a situation is. Shang Wu said.

The aim of the republican army is to occupy a complete Luoyang, and the military forces of both sides seem to have seen Luoyang as a huge battlefield, and the destructive power of the war, everyone is well aware that although the republican army will send troops, before the troops arrive, any accidents will happen.

"We can't get an empty Luoyang city. It's not what we want, and it's not what we want. Ma Heng said.

"So, we need to get this out of the way before it gets to the point where we don't want to see it get out of hand. It's still extremely powerful for us. Shang Wu said.

"I agree to do so. But as things stand, a lot of things are already moving towards situations that we can't deal with. Jia Xu said.

"So, we need the cooperation of the intelligence services, to organize, to take advantage of the general discontent of the population, and more of the support of forces, to propagandize, to fight the enemy, and, until our main military forces arrive, to hold out and cooperate with our operations." Shang Wu said.

"There's still a lot of pressure on them. On the one hand, it is still relatively difficult to resist Dong Zhuo's attack, and on the other hand, to stop the attack of the coalition forces. Shang Wu said. Shang Wu was worried that they were generally untrained, and that weapons were extremely lacking, and if the organization was not properly organized, the results could be imagined.

"I wonder if we can just co-opt some troops. They can directly give us a greater degree of convenience, after all, they are armed forces. Jia Xu proposed.

"I don't recommend doing this, those armies can't believe it, they are all hooligans in the army, they have no loyalty at all, they will keep causing us more trouble." Ma Heng said. Ma Heng hated the officers of the old army and their loyalty, and he thought that if those officers were co-opted, they would cause them great trouble.

"I have that concern unless we take direct control of their army so that they can follow our orders. In this way, we will not be suppressed by those armies, and even, to a greater extent, we will be disadvantaged. Shang Wu said.

"In other words, we are courting the grassroots, not those officers?" Jia Xu asked.

"Yes, the senior officers are of no use to us, they will cause us a lot of trouble, for example, the officers of the northern cavalry, although their official positions are not very large, but they are numerous, but they control too many cavalry, and our cavalry ranks cannot be built, and at the same time they cannot control each other, which is a very bad thing for us, and such a situation will cause us even more trouble. We don't want that kind of trouble. Shang Wu said.

The IRA must effectively control the other side, otherwise it will have the same problems as the cavalry of the northern nomads, who have their own armed forces, which pose a great challenge to the military power of the Republican Army, and in such a situation, the Republican Army really does not want to see a new situation arise.

At this time, in the Yanmen Pass area of the Republican Army, a new batch of special alcoholic beverages was being sold to those cavalry officers. Because those cavalry officers had threatened the Republican army's northern strategy to the greatest extent. Such a strategy will affect the development of many things for them.
