Anti Qing

Chapter 109 Token
According to the time informed by the former battalion to the various government offices in the city, everyone arrived outside the tent of the Chinese army as scheduled, and entered under the guidance of the soldiers of the standard battalion.

Li Zijing is dressed in a black tunic with arrows, a hat on his head, lined with cotton armor and fine chain mail, and stands on the north side with his hands behind his back.

On the table behind him, there was a beautiful machete slanted.

Among the generals of the garrison, there were a few older ones who were still relaxed before they came in, but their expressions changed suddenly when they saw the scimitar.

Even the face has become respectful.

Many local civil officials don't know the origin of this knife, but the military generals stationed in their places do know.

This scimitar was made of fine iron by Li Zicheng and his wife Gao Guiying when he was in power in Xiangyang in the 15th year of Chongzhen.

According to Li Zicheng, this knife will be used as the treasure of the Dashun royal family, and will be passed down from generation to generation, so that future generations will remember the hardships of Dashun in winning the country.

This scimitar was designed by Li Zicheng and Gao Guiying personally, and it has the same authority in the Dashun Army as the Great Qin Tiger Talisman.

In other words, this machete is a token of the Dashun royal family, and holding this machete is Li Zicheng's established heir to the throne.

Niu Quan didn't expect that he would be the first to ask the question, his eyes changed slightly, and then he came out with a smile.

In his heart, Li Zijing didn't want to go to that step.

Once the people in Xiangyang feel that there is no difference between whether Li Zijing comes or not, at that time, it will be difficult to pick up people's hearts.

This is a secret thing, and this is also a bad habit of these civil servants, but when the army is defeated, many people are too busy to take care of themselves.

The atmosphere inside the tent is also solemn, and the standard battalion soldiers who have experienced many battles are all standing around with their helmets on, staring closely at the civil and military men in the city who walked into the tent.

"It's all here."

Li Zijing stared at him for a while, then turned around and picked up the machete that Li Zicheng personally handed to him in Xi'an on the table.

Li Zijing was not without surprise, a sneer gradually appeared on his face, he stared at Niu Quan so hard that hairs all over his body, subconsciously avoiding his eyes, he said just now.

"Shang Ke?"

Many people are confused until now, except for a very few senior military generals who appear to be very honest, the rest are talking about it.

This person is Song Chengfu, the head of Baoyuan Bureau.

"Niufu Yin, since Dashun withdrew from Shanhaiguan, how has the trade of Yongchang coins in Xiangyang City been?"

"Many people may not know why I, Li Zijing, was sent to Xiangyang by His Majesty. I will tell you clearly today."

This is Li Zicheng's appointed military adviser in the former battalion, Gu Junen who was once known as the smiling tiger.

"How did I hear that the shops in the city don't accept Yongchang money, and the people have nowhere to spend it with Yongchang money?"

"Little King Chuang, it is true that you are in charge of the military affairs of the East Road, but your hand is too long!"

"Although Li Zijing is not talented, he can't watch the people being oppressed and bullied by corrupt officials like you and remain indifferent."

In this day and age, it is not the same as the work of later generations. Once it is posted in the WeChat group, everyone knows about it.

"The minting of the Kaibaoyuan Bureau was established by His Majesty Chongzhen in Xiangyang Dingzheng in the 15th year. Is Xiao Chuang Wang doing this to deceive the king?"

"You may want to ask, my former battalion seized the Baoyuan Bureau, and what I'm going to talk about next is exactly this matter."

"With this knife, Your Majesty entrusted Huguang to me."

Li Zijing squinted and turned his head.

After the Yunyang Ming army moved, Li Zijing felt the threat from the side of the couch. Compared with Gao Doushu, his movements were too slow and disorderly.

But now, apart from this knife, Li Zijing has no tokens to prove this order, so he can only take it out to try.

"Niufu Yin has been in charge of Xiangyang's government affairs for more than a year, so it's not clear about such a little thing?"

For a long time, Li Zijing couldn't figure out what Li Zicheng meant when he sent himself to Huguang. He didn't give an imperial decree, and he didn't give a seal, but he gave him a broken knife.

This was the first time since Li Zijing came to Xiangyang that he called on the entire city to be accounted for, and the cavalry conveyed it in an undeniable order.

Li Zijing cupped his fists far away in the direction of Guanzhong, and said in a solemn voice.

If it weren't for what the people from the Baoyuan Bureau said, Li Zijing might not have thought that this matter should have been done long ago.

Li Zijing's words put the naked reality on the table and lifted the fig leaf of these civil officials.

Some civil servants had resentment on their faces, obviously they had something to say in their stomachs, but because the scene was too serious, they didn't dare to be the first to speak.

This kind of secret is only known to those who followed Li Zicheng's rebellion and started as generals in the old days.

This is the first step in unifying the powers of the whole city.

Li Zijing decided to get straight to the point and not engage in those twists and turns, so he suddenly raised his voice and suppressed the discussion all at once.

Even Li Zijing's original body didn't know about this knife at all.

The words are concise and the tone is cold.

Same as Li Zijing at the beginning, concise and clear.

"It's okay."

Li Zijing traveled all the way through mountains and ridges, and walked through many no-man's lands before arriving in Xiangyang.

On the lower and two sides of the table are General Hao Yaoqi of Zuo Guoyi and General Wu Zhaosheng of You Guoyi. Neither of them could see any fluctuations in their expressions.

"I was ordered by Emperor Yongchang to control the generals in the battalion and control the military affairs of soldiers, horses, horses, food and military affairs in all roads in Dashun, Huguang."

On the way here, some people also heard that Qianying was sealing down 24 Baoyuan bureaus in the city and forcibly stopping the casting of Yongchang coins.

"sit down."

It is conceivable that it would be very difficult for the Guanzhong decree to be conveyed.

Once he can't be deterred, Li Zijing will take the worst method, which is to kill people to build power.

"Today, I called you here to unify the affairs of Xiangyang."

From their point of view, Li Zijing was indeed controlling the soldiers and horses of the East Road, but that was military affairs in the field, and he could not control them, the officials in the city.

It has been a month since Qianying came to Xiangyang, and the situation here has not improved in any way, even the threat on the side of the couch has not been resolved.

Niu Quan hadn't decided what to say, and the person who was asked was stunned, not knowing how to answer for a while, but an official below stood up.

Speaking of this, everyone's expressions are quite normal, they have known about this for a long time, and it has nothing to do with them.

The reason for such a strict posture in the garrison is to deter everyone and prepare for the worst.

Li Zijing's words were like a sharp knife, pressing on everyone's necks. Many people didn't understand what this little King Chuang was going to do.

The decrees issued by Li Zicheng at the Xi'an court meeting had a long and difficult road, and many of them did not reach Huguang.

While waiting for others, Li Zijing reflected.

Thinking back to Xiangyang, many things I have done have been messy, without any rules, and I feel like bumping around here and there.

Someone opened his mouth and was about to interrupt, but before they could speak, Li Zijing raised his voice again, suppressing everyone.

Taking a step forward in front of Li Zijing, there stood a short, fat, squinting scholar with a faint smile on his face.

Unification of powers, a major event that should have been ordered immediately after entering the city, was unexpectedly realized a month later.

"I have to take care of Huguang's military and political affairs now."

As he spoke, Li Zijing showed a faint murderous look all over his body, narrowed his eyes slightly, and took two steps forward to come to Song Chengfu.

"Master Song."

"I don't care, do you want to?"
