5032 Step by step

The people in the capital did not know that the court was trying every means to ease the crisis. Ordinary Han people did not know, and the Eight Banners' children knew some news, but their incompetent brains could not understand at all.

This dandy who doesn’t like learning, doesn’t like analyzing new things, and always digs deep into the old traditions, can only look at the problem from an angle that they can understand.

Then they only have the last emotion left, that is despair!

The forced exchange of gold began on April 19th, and the people in the capital were stunned. They watched helplessly as the shops in Nancheng and the Zheng Palace were robbed.

At first they still had fantasies that the imperial court's knife would only chop on fat sheep, and that these small families should not have any problems.

However, on April 20, the Qing Dynasty began to use a tough word to continue to promote the gold exchange order, forcing all people in the capital to not store gold in private.

All personal possession of gold is illegal!

On April 20, Prince Lao Li and Prince Rui's family were also confiscated. The people did not know at all how much gold they exchanged for.

However, for the purpose of publicity, the streets outside the palace did not have martial law but allowed the people to watch.

On this day, the Eight Banners were all frightened. They found that their previous luck was so ridiculous. The royal palace was sinister but the door was wide open today. Teams of soldiers rushed in, and groups of palace servants were invited out politely.

The court would never say that it was here to search the house. What they had to do was to exchange gold politely, but how could the Baoyi slaves who had been loyal to the prince for several lifetimes let the court snatch the master's gold?

Some dilapidated bannermen on the outer wall of the back garden could hear intermittent screams from inside through the wall. People said that the person inside accidentally fell and injured his feet. Do you believe it?

Anyway, after screaming for a long time, boxes of gold were carried out from the gate of the palace!

The crowd exclaimed and breathed in. No one expected that there would be so much gold in the palace, and hundreds of boxes were not shipped. Some boxes could not be covered with lids, and golden light shone out from it.

Occasionally, two golden seeds fell out of the crack in the box. An ignorant child rushed over to pick them up. He was so scared that the old man next to him dragged them back, and thrust them across his butt, making the child cry loudly!

"Young and young men! Prince Lao Li didn't keep it, and Prince Rui's family was also confiscated... This court is really here!"

"Tsk tsk tsk... I never expected this to happen. People have previously said that Prince Zheng and Master Wansui were not in the way, and conspired to betray Master Wansui, so they were searched by the excuse of exchanging gold..."

"But now it doesn't look like it. Prince Lao Li is as old as he can't rebel anymore, so he's copied it..."

"Shhh... Speak quietly, don't let these Southern Barbarians hear it. These Southern Barbarians in Wuyi Mountain have no relatives, and they are all very good at starting..."

"That's right, even Xishan Camp is not a good thing. It's filled with Han Han stinky coolies from Shandong, Zhili. Once they are taken and robbed, they will come to bully us. Look how clean they have searched their houses?"

"Haha, how about the kidnapper? Those wild Jurchens were trained by the Rakshasa devils. They were beaten by the Rakshasa devils during the Kangxi period in the outer Xing'anling. These wild Jurchens have long forgotten that we are the same ancestor!"

"It's so cruel to start one by one... the gilds on the furniture were removed..."

"What's this? You don't know. The gold-plated copper jar that was in the palace was being prepared for water, and the gold paint on it was scraped off with a knife!"

"Damn... all these golds will be sent to the Chinese people, buy their foreign guns and cannons to finally blow us up!"

"What's wrong with this year's life? What's wrong..."

The crowd was talking carefully, and suddenly it was like the cold wind blew across the grassland, and a group of chirping grasshoppers suddenly shut up!

It turned out that a team of cavalrymen marched quickly and rushed past them with great might. Just now, the seven playboys who were dissatisfied with eight resentment had their whole family replaced with flattering smiles.

The storm had just begun. On April 21, another news that shocked the people of the capital came. A large number of soldiers suddenly arrived in the idle Prince Gong’s Mansion, Prince Qing’s Mansion, and Prince Chun’s Mansion.

I don’t know where these soldiers got the information, but they actually searched several secret gold-hiding places from the three palaces. The gold copied from the three palaces was more than 200,000 taels.

"It's over! It's over! Even the Kong Prince's Mansion was raised to get gold. This is a three-foot-thick-drawn ground..."

All the bannermen felt that the knife was about to fall on their heads. At this time, they heard the shouts of the staff members on the street, and their backs were covered in cold sweat.

"I'll exchange gold... The army and civilians in the capital are persuaded to exchange gold... to go to the national crisis together!"

"During the war, no one is allowed to own gold... Please take the initiative to exchange it..."

Bang bang bang bang... The gong was ringing, which made people's hearts tremble. A few days ago, I thought this was a way, but when they saw that the prince could not even block the knife, how could they survive?

On April 22, it has been four days since the capital exchanged gold, and today it is finally time to close the net!

The entire Beijing Police Bureau led by King Yu Benge was dispatched. The Beijing Police Bureau evolved from the Jiumen Admiral Office. All the soldiers from the Jiumen Admiral Office were directly assigned to the King Yu to adapt.

The Nine Gate Admiral's Mansion was an important defensive force in the capital, with about 20,000 people in charge. Later, the refugees in the capital caused a disaster. King Yu followed the imperial edict and expanded his army to 10,000 and selected 10,000 victims to join the police force.

On the one hand, it solves the problem of disaster victims eating, and on the other hand, it also increases the policeman's staff.

Thirty thousand police officers and the new army allocated more than 10,000 troops. From today on, King Yu ordered officials of all sizes to force the people of the capital to exchange gold in sections.

"All the men listened! Your Majesty was kind and righteous, and gave the people of the capital four days to let them enjoy themselves freely... But! These unruly people who do not know how to be kind are actually heartless!"

"In four days, no one of the people took the initiative to exchange gold!"

"The court is furious! From today on, you will exchange gold from door to door in each area. Anyone who dares to hide his own private matters will be punished as a crime of colluding with the enemy!"

"No matter Manchu and Han, official position, or identity... the palace has already spoken. Even if the Empress Dowager and the Master Long live himself in the backstage, the gold must be exchanged!"

"Come here... bring out the gold coupon... Listen, this time, there is no account of the Ministry of Revenue to follow, so I can't open the receipt..."

"This is a gold coupon, one or two units of gold coupons... As much gold coupons as you exchange, you will give the people as much gold coupons. In the future, let the people use this gold coupon to get gold from the Ministry of Revenue!"

"Haha... The Qing Dynasty has raised you for more than 200 years, and it is time for you to work together with the country!"

"Action! Don't let anyone go!"
