The North Korean counterfeit banknote case not only involved ordinary North Koreans, but also the North Korean gentry and some North Korean officials who did not enter the flag. For these Koreans who have a large amount of counterfeit banknotes, the Qing army does not care where they come from, in short, as long as they find that someone has used counterfeit banknotes with an amount of more than 50 taels of silver, they will be killed, their homes will be raided, and their families will be sent as slaves.www.biquge.info

Because counterfeit banknotes have been spreading on the Korean Peninsula for almost a year, not only North Koreans have counterfeit banknotes in their hands, but even the North Korean Eight Banners trading houses, and even the Manchurian, Mongolian and Han Eight Banners stationed on the Korean Peninsula have a certain amount of counterfeit banknotes.

After all, the Qing Dynasty dragon banknote is the only legal currency on the Korean Peninsula, although the military salary of the Eight Banners soldiers is in white silver, but they have to come into contact with the Qing Dynasty dragon money when they buy special offerings for the Eight Banners in North Korea, go to the tobacco house to smoke, buy cigarettes, buy various daily necessities, or go to the Qinglou to eat, drink and have fun.

There was an exchange of dragon money inside the banner barracks, and silver was exchanged for Qing dragon money for consumption in Korea. The unused dragon banknotes that go out, or the dragon banknotes that are recovered, can be exchanged for back, which is the privilege of the flag people.

However, there are many counterfeit banknotes in the Daqing Dragon Banknotes recovered by the bannermen. In this way, the flag man also used counterfeit money, but if the flag man accidentally used the counterfeit banknote, he would not be punished in any way.

In fact, there are some flag people who know that they get the counterfeit banknotes in their hands, but they are reluctant to hand them over, but spend the fake money, anyway, the counterfeit money flows into the hands of the North Koreans, and the North Koreans use it because they are unlucky.

The Qing army went on a killing spree on the Korean Peninsula, because when the North Korean counterfeit money case killed people in North Korea, the Qing court was also investigating counterfeit money in various parts of the north, but the intensity was not as great as that of the Korean Peninsula, and the people were not killed, and the relative means were relatively mild.

Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Shaanxi and other places that use the dragon banknotes of the Qing Dynasty have appeared almost the same as the real money of the fake dragon banknotes, from ordinary farmers to Han officials, there are more or less fake dragon banknotes in their hands, the bigger the official, the more money people have, the more counterfeit money in their hands, after all, from the Qing Dynasty soon after the issuance of the dragon banknotes, the fake dragon banknotes printed by the Nanyang Bank entered the north and have penetrated into all parts of the Qing court.

Bumu Butai and Kangxi did not dare to kill all the gentry and Han officials under any circumstances, and these influential people accidentally used counterfeit money, and the Qing court could only pinch their noses and admit it.

As for the ordinary green battalion soldiers, peasants and merchants, the Qing court would not have dealt with it much. When encountering the green battalion soldiers and peasants who used counterfeit banknotes, because the amount was not large, they simply confiscated the counterfeit banknotes. As for the merchants, the Qing court was not very easy to deal with, after all, the profiteers who had nothing to do with the court had been slaughtered as fat pigs, and most of the remaining merchants were related to the banner people and high-ranking officials, and many smuggling businesses were traded with the acquiescence of the Qing court.

Although the amount of counterfeit banknotes in the hands of merchants is relatively huge, which has created a lot of trouble for the Qing court and Jin merchants, but at present, the Qing court does not dare to punish them for the time being, unless some fat pigs are ready to be slaughtered, if ordinary merchants are found to use counterfeit banknotes, that is, the counterfeit banknotes are confiscated, and there is not much punishment.

Although the Qing court adopted measures such as delaying time to limit the squeeze on the cash, the counterfeit banknote incident had an extremely bad impact on the Qing dragon banknotes, which were already very creditworthy, and people became more distrustful of such banknotes.

In the capital, Cheng Wancai, who had received his military salary, waited anxiously in line at the gate of the Daqing Bank, wanting to exchange the Daqing dragon banknotes in his hand for cash. But he came early in the morning, but there was a crowd in front of him, and he didn't know if it would be his turn to queue until the evening, it was still a problem.

"Why do so many people come to redeem? More people than some time ago? Cheng Wancai muttered.

In the queue, a man dressed as a servant said, "This old man, do you really don't know or don't you know?" There are a lot of counterfeit banknotes in Jingshi! If you don't exchange it quickly, the dragon banknotes will be worthless! ”

……

Thousands of miles away, on the plank road leading from Chengdu to Chencang, a large army wearing colorful military uniforms is walking on the plank road by the mountain river.

Wearing blue cotton armor, a red cloak, and a white felt hat were the veteran soldiers of the Loyal Battalion; Wearing the old red mandarin duck battle jacket and goose yellow felt hat were soldiers recruited later by the loyal battalion; Wearing khaki cotton armor and khaki felt hats were veterans of the merger of the Great Western Army and the Loyal Battalion; Wearing a brand-new red and white mandarin duck jacket and a six-petal helmet, it was the Sichuan Army of the Qiongzhou Army; Wearing a green military uniform and a green military cap, it was a straggler of the Qiongzhou Army. There are also those who are dressed in civilian clothes, wearing a number coat, and wearing an earthy yellow felt hat, which are auxiliary soldiers and people.

Behind the infantry of the brigade were followed by groups of artillerymen, the horses and mules carrying the disassembled cannons on their backs, some with a barrel, some with gun carriages and wheels.

The Sichuan-Shaanxi plank road can not withstand too heavy vehicles to pass, so Zhuge Liang invented the wooden ox and flowing horse in order to solve the problem of logistics and heavy transportation, which is actually a wheelbarrow to meet the requirements of transportation in the mountainous areas of Sichuan. It was precisely because the large artillery trucks could not pass through the plank road, so the artillery of the Qiongzhou Army who assisted in the battle separated the artillery and transported it by mules.

The barrels of the six-pounder howitzers were very light, weighing only more than 200 pounds, and when disassembled, one cannon could be transported away with three mules.

Behind the howitzer artillery team was the mortar artillery team.

According to the agreement between Wang Yu and Li Laiheng, the Qiongzhou Army dispatched the Sichuan Army to assist in the battle, mainly using musketeers, stragglers and artillery to cooperate with the Loyal Battalion's northern expedition to Shaanxi.

Xu Ming, who has been promoted to the general of the stragglers, walks in the team, he has been in the army for five years, but in the past five years, except for the contact with a small group of Tartars, the Qiongzhou army in central Sichuan has never fought a big battle. At first, there were still small groups of Tartars to harass, but after suffering a few losses, they never dared to come again. Today, the army is finally going to go on the Northern Expedition, Xu Ming's heart is full of desire for battle, and he can't wait to arrive at Chencang as soon as possible and plunge into the fierce battle.

"Brethren! Sing along with me! Xu Ming shouted.

"Ninety-nine with a steel knife, kill all Hu Erfang!" On the mountain road, more than 100 stragglers in green military uniforms sang a loud military song.

Lin Erhu, who was once a prisoner of the Green Battalion, was also in the stragglers, because of his accurate marksmanship, after consuming more than 20,000 bullets for training, Lin Erhu also carried a rifled gun and became a skirmisher.

In front of the Ming army, a group headed by Chen Shuigen walked like a fly at night, walking between the mountains and forests. Their task was to find a way in front of the main force so that the army would not be ambushed by the Qing army in the mountainous area with difficult terrain. Along the way, the Night Harvest team eliminated many Qing army spies.
