Chapter 1469 Refugees and layout!
The old capital was too lenient, and there were a total of "Emperor's Personal Army" and there were more than 50,000 regular troops. But this was the minimum force that suppressed the order of the capital and ensured the safety of the royal family. Once transferred, the market would be in chaos, so it could not be moved lightly.
It is the most basic thing to stand on ten steps in the city wall to defend the city. If you want to reduce the number of troops, the invading enemy can only build siege equipment and surround the attack on all sides, and they will not be able to defend it.
However, if there is no support for the situation outside, it will not take long. The same result will be the same. What should I do?
The clone is incompetent, the money is tight, the situation is critical, the time, place, and people are in harmony, and there is almost nothing. It's difficult, it's really difficult! Thinking of this, Yagens suddenly felt powerless again!
In the next month, the situation in the capital was still the same, except for the skyrocketing food prices. Poor and civilians starved to death or committed suicide!
Not only that, the gold and dollar coupons printed before Yagen Silk are similar to the banknotes of bald heads back then. They are not worth more than paper!
This situation has happened many times in China back then.
For example, in 1948, with the military defeat of the Kuomintang, economic imbalance, prices soaring, and currency depreciation, Xinjiang Commercial Bank was reorganized into a Xinjiang Provincial Bank again, the face value of the banknotes became larger and larger, from the minimum face value of 1 cent to the issuance face value of 600 million to 3 billion, until the maximum face value actually reached 6 billion yuan.
The excessive outbreak caused hyperinflation, which led to bankruptcy of a large number of urban middle classes, leading to great losses to the government and the people, and became one of the reasons for the rapid failure of the National People's Civil War.
By May 1949, the price of rice with one stone was more than 400 million gold coupons. Various transactions often had to be carried out in large bundles of banknotes. Due to the depreciation too quickly, prices at early age had changed drastically. In order to avoid losses, citizens and merchants did not want to hold gold coupons for banknotes. After trading or after pay, they would exchange them for foreign currency or physical goods as soon as possible, or simply refused to accept gold coupons.
The same thing is also the Jiaozi of the Song Dynasty.
Jiaozi is a currency issued in the Northern Song Dynasty in 1023 of the first year of Tiansheng in Renzong. It was once circulated as an official currency and was called "Kuan Jiaozi". It has been circulated in Sichuan for nearly 80 years.
It is the earliest banknote officially issued by the government in China and is also considered to be the earliest banknote used in the world. It is six or seven hundred years earlier than the United States and France in 1692 and France in 1716.
However, feudal governments often cannot effectively control the issuance of paper money. When huge government fiscal expenditures are needed, the government often cannot restrict its own behavior, use its power, abuses credibility, and issue paper money without restrictions, which ultimately leads to inflation.
This made the banknotes lose their credit and turned into waste paper. The fate of Jiaozi of the Northern Song Dynasty also proved this.
In this situation, the same is true for Yagensi's banknotes. Now, the locals have completely refused to accept them.
The news and information reached Zhu Zilong, and he laughed.
Of course, there is one reason why he is making trouble later in this situation, but in fact, Yagensi is not without moves.
There is no shortage of food, nor is there any shortage of money in the capital. As long as you make a little cruel, you can make it. It depends on whether he has the determination. What Zhu Zilong wants is that he has the determination, and then everyone who supports him is desperate for him.
Then, he can easily pass by, take over with 0 casualties and high prestige, and become the person who laughs to the end.
And if Yagensi had not completely abandoned many local forces, even if he could occupy it with a modern army, it would inevitably be like the US military in Afghanistan.
Then he would be in a difficult situation!
At present, Yagensi is very similar to an Emperor Chongzhen in the late Ming Dynasty. When Li Zicheng entered Beijing in the 17th year of Chongzhen, the whole world was desperate for Emperor Chongzhen. Any force felt that he should change his own people to occupy the world. Therefore, the mere 60,000 rebels and troops rushed to Beijing in the east, and all the more than 200,000 government troops turned against each other after fighting.
However, Yagensi's reputation has not been completely destroyed. She is still the strongest among all local forces, and the hope of the conservatives. If he sells his money and makes a desperate bet, the 120,000 to 30,000 government troops can still be brought together.
However, the army is easy to obtain, but food and grass are not that easy. So Zhu Zilong dug a hole for him here.
The foundation of his rule was these corrupt officials. If they were kind-hearted to persuade them to donate money and food, the Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty also did such a thing, but the result was that everyone would not lose their pennilessness. If they wanted to use violent means against the wealthy families in Beijing...
Haha, haha, haha.
However, once these overall situations are well laid out, just let it go.
Therefore, Zhu Zilong has been paying attention but has not used troops. What they have to do now is to make a fortune in silence and transfer more people!
Since the civil strife on the Holy Fire Continent, there has been "overpopulation" everywhere. The war has been continuous and more war refugees have been created. Zhu Zilong's goal is these people who have no confidence in the Holy Fire Empire and have lost their sense of identity.
It is too slow to transfer people only through slave traders and the cost is too high. So is there a free calculation?
Soon, at Tonghaikou on the edge of the south of the Yangtze River, a huge population concentration camp appeared next to a military camp that had just been completed.
In the open space surrounded by barbed wire, there were more unkempt refugees sitting on the ground crowded together. The food Zhu Zilong provided to the refugees was very simple. The paste made of boiled after adding water is also called "grain bricks". It contains sweet potato flour and bean dregs. The large piece weighs five pounds, and the small piece is about enough for one person to eat, but the taste is too bad and it is difficult to swallow.
The unscrupulous Zhu Zilong is reluctant to give it to others to eat the expired foods of modern times. However, there is no way. There are too many people coming, and there are not enough expired foods.
As long as you can't starve, just deal with it first.
Although this thing is so hard that it can't even chew the bugs, it doesn't even save even the preservatives?
Besides, these people have become refugees, so how can they be qualified to care that the food rations are too hard? Well, Zhu Zilong's integrity is still the same as before.
Then, depending on the situation, these refugees will either undergo several days of discipline training in the camp, or be directly escorted to the rear and undergo re-education on the way. The shelter stations ahead will also pour into a group of new foreign refugees, and the cycle of recurrence seems to have never stopped...
In the end, Secretary Dakang couldn't stand it.
It is said that part of the corn and moldy grain in the treasury can be taken out and sold to Zhu Zilong at a price of 30% off, and then both sides will bear half of it. Rescue these refugees to avoid them being too malnourished. At that time, even if there is a population, they will get sick every few days. How can they have a fart?
