Chapter 1276: Unstoppable

Huang Taiji didn't expect that Liaodong's action to dismantle the border army was so rapid, to say that Tan Tai and Jia Jihan also worked very hard, and launched an intelligence network at all costs, wanting to muddy the water in Liaodong, so that the matter of dismantling the border army could not go smoothly, and it seemed that good results were achieved, but unfortunately Lu Xiangsheng was very smart, and he didn't care about the rumors that spread everywhere at all, nor did he punish the sergeants who spread rumors, but grasped the essence of the problem, and directly started with the abolition of the border army, focusing on stabilizing the sergeants. As the saying goes, fortresses are breached from the inside, people grasp the key points, and there are no problems themselves, and it is difficult for external forces to interfere.

The smooth dismantling of the Liaodong border army, as well as the strength of the garrison, made Huang Taiji very depressed, seeing the hope of the Great Qing State attacking Liaodong, came to naught, and now the important duty is to stabilize the situation of the Great Qing State, stabilize the situation in Guangning, Xipingbao and Yizhou and other places that have been occupied again, including the situation in the grassland, and once again begin to self-concentrate and be ready to meet the attack of the Great Jin Dynasty at any time.

Everything has advantages and disadvantages, the warriors of the Great Qing Kingdom occupied Guangning, Xipingbao and Yizhou and other places, and once again obtained a large area of land, and Shenyang, the capital of the Great Qing Kingdom, also had a more stable barrier, but because of the occupation of Guangning, the mutual market with the Guannai naturally stopped, there was a problem with the supply of goods, Huang Taiji did not care, the imperial court has taken a lot of means, purchased a large number of food and other necessary materials, but the people below feel inconvenient, and the goods that can be purchased casually on weekdays, It's not so easy to buy at this time.

The most fatal thing is that the Great Jin Dynasty began to trade in Yanka, Liaodong, and the merchants who traveled to and from Shenyang and Ningyuan began to feel great pressure.

However, at this time, the imperial court set up banks in Ningyuan and Jinzhou. If the merchants can deposit the gold, silver and jewelry in the bank, and at the same time are willing to use the paper money issued by the imperial court, they can still secretly engage in commercial transactions. Including businessmen who do not actively use banknotes, it is almost impossible to think of being able to leave the confines of Montenegro, and it is even more impossible to engage in merchant trading.

This secret soon spread among the merchants.

Almost without mobilization, the banks in Ningyuan and Jinzhou quickly began to become popular, and a large number of merchants began to deposit gold, silver and jewelry, and at the same time began to use the paper money issued by the Great Jin Dynasty.

Speaking of banknotes, there is also an episode in this. Originally, when issuing banknotes, Zhu Xianxuan and others took into account that the consumption level of the old people was not very high, so when designing banknotes, the denominations were not very large, but as time went by, the household department began to put forward opinions, that is, the issued banknotes. The denomination is too small, especially in the process of commodity trading in places such as docks. This kind of drawback appeared, and piles of banknotes circulated, and merchants also felt inconvenient.

So after reporting to the emperor, the household began to issue banknotes worth two taels, five taels, ten taels, twenty taels, fifty taels and one hundred taels of silver, but the circulation of these banknotes was not very large, and they appeared on the market. It is mainly paper money worth one tael of silver, and as for those large-denomination banknotes, the focus is still on large commercial transactions.

A large amount of gold and silver were deposited in the bank, and many banknotes came out of the bank and began to circulate in Liaodong. Almost in the shortest possible time, Liaodong was full of banknotes.

In fact, there are 100,000 Jiangning battalion soldiers in Liaodong, these soldiers are the main force of consumption, once they fully begin to use paper money, the circulation of paper money in Liaodong is a matter of course, plus the merchants from the Guannai, has been using paper money for a period of time, for the role and value of paper money, is very clear, but also very assured, the most important thing is that the use of paper money is indeed very convenient, a variety of factors combined, so that Liaodong quickly and the same as the Guannei.

When the banknotes issued by the Great Jin Dynasty were introduced to Liaodong, Huang Taiji didn't care for a while, anyway, these banknotes are equivalent to the same amount of silver, and there is nothing remarkable, Huang Taiji even personally collected several banknotes, after carefully studying these banknotes, he found that the design of these banknotes is very sophisticated, and he praised it.

Huang Taiji is not without other ideas, the Song Dynasty issued Jiaozi, once had a significant role, but the issuance of Jiaozi lessons, Huang Taiji is also clear, on the one hand, he admires Su Tiancheng's courage, dare to directly issue banknotes, on the other hand, he also watched the posture of watching the play, pay attention to the development of things, he has a fixed understanding in his mind, the Jin Dynasty issued paper money, the purpose must be to absorb the wealth of the people, once the wealth is stripped of the hand, the value of the paper money will be greatly discounted, and even become waste paper.

Huang Taiji's negligence will have a huge impact on the future.

In the court of the Great Qing Dynasty, there are still some Han officials, but after the incident of Fan Wencheng, the Han officials rarely speak, most of them think of Ming Zhe to protect themselves, and summarize that the service of the Great Qing Kingdom and the Han people who are desperate for the ground, there is almost no good ending, in fact, the unification of the currency and the establishment of banks, the benefits obtained are all from the Great Jin Dynasty, which must have a huge impact on the Qing Dynasty, at least the economic lifeline has been seized.

The Manchu nobles would not think so carefully, and the Han officials who understood the strange situation would not speak, and Huang Taiji was in this atmosphere, and did not take any measures, so that the Great Qing Kingdom slowly began to fall into the abyss, and gradually began to rely on the Great Jin Dynasty economically.

The situation in Liaodong quickly stabilized, and the Houjin Tartars did not attack, and the imperial court did not ask Lu Xiangsheng to launch an attack.

Lu Xiangsheng, who was in a hurry, once gave a lesson to the imperial court, thinking that the eastern Liaodong border army had been dismantled in place, and the combat effectiveness had been greatly improved, and at this time it was possible to launch an attack on Guangning, Xipingbao and Yizhou, and strive to recover these places before the year.

Lu Xiangsheng received a reply from the imperial court, asking to temporarily stabilize Liaodong, not to think about the conquest, today's Liaodong, the most important thing is to think that there are three aspects, the first aspect is to develop a good bank, the second aspect is to promote the circulation of paper money, the third aspect is to promote the development of Liaodong's economy and trade, of course, the training of Jiangning battalion soldiers can not be relaxed.

After receiving the imperial court's edict, Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Yingyuan conducted a careful analysis, and also carefully analyzed the letter written by Prime Minister Zhu Xianxuan, and finally understood the imperial court's plan to completely defeat the Houjin Tartar from the root.

Once they understood the meaning of the imperial court, Lu Xiangsheng, Yan Yingyuan and others were unswerving in their implementation.

Zu Dashou and Zu Dale are stepping up the training of officers and men, and the remaining Liaodong Border Army and the officers and men of the Jiangning Battalion have been mixed together; in terms of personal quality and combat effectiveness, there is a gap between the original Liaodong Border Army, and this needs to be improved in the training on weekdays, and the focus is on making efforts in terms of personal belief and observance of military discipline.

The best situation now is that the original Liaodong Frontier Army, after the dismantling, the remaining 50,000 sergeants, the military salary was quickly solved, almost overnight, the salary was raised, in fact, the military salary is one of the best means to encourage the sergeant to serve, for thousands of years.

Became a member of the Jiangning Battalion soldiers, Yu Lu was solved, the original Liaodong Border Army, burst out with great enthusiasm, and soon devoted themselves to training, the remaining sergeants are basically the backbone of the original Liaodong Border Army, and the Jiangning Battalion soldiers have had a lot of intersections, and they also know the combat effectiveness of the Jiangning Battalion soldiers, and now they have become one of them, with the same Yulu, if there is still a gap in combat effectiveness, then it can't be said.

What is more crucial is that in the process of dismantling the Liaodong Border Army, the competition is very fierce, and only 50,000 of the more than 200,000 sergeants remained, which is enough to show that those who remain are the backbone, and since they are the backbone, they must show their own ability and prove that they are truly worthy of staying.

Under the influence of these factors, the morale of the officers and men of the Jiangning battalion stationed in Liaodong was particularly high.

During this period, there were also several small-scale clashes, focusing on the clashes around Montenegro, these conflicts, in essence, were provoked by the Jiangning battalion soldiers, and the two sides fought on a small scale, and it was the Jiangning battalion soldiers who finally won the victory.

After so many years, whether it is the Manchurian Eight Banners or the Han Eight Banners, when fighting with the Jiangning Battalion, they have not been able to take advantage of the slightest advantage, they are basically defeated, and they have suffered heavy losses.

The situation in Liaodong has stabilized unprecedentedly, and Lu Xiangsheng has also completed the tasks assigned by the imperial court very well.

In the blink of an eye, the autumn harvest season is coming, the climate of Liaodong is also good, there is not much famine, and the autumn harvest is also expected, so that the people living in Liaodong can be stabilized, speaking of the people living in Liaodong, the changes encountered are countless, I don't know how many upheavals the road has passed, if it is not for the homeland, there is almost no one left here, fortunately, the situation in Liaodong has barely stabilized in recent years, even if the Jin Tatars reoccupied Guangning, Xipingbao and Yizhou and other places, There was no large-scale fighting, and the common people did not suffer much loss.

The autumn harvest season is coming, and Lu Xiangsheng and Yan Yingyuan have more important things to do, that is, to buy a large amount of grain from Guangning, Yizhou and Xipingbao, so that the merchants can complete these tasks, and finally get the neck of Houjin Tartar economically.
