The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 436 The Japanese Pirates' Provocation

Procedurally speaking, to rehabilitate those who died unjustly, we must first overturn the previous judgments imposed on them by the law.

That is to say, a comprehensive reversal of the case is carried out from various aspects such as witness evidence, confession and judgment.

After the legal procedures are completed, an edict must be issued in the name of the regent to inform the world.

In the end, in order to show the benevolence and guilt of the regent and the court, some appropriate compensation will be given to the families of the two.

For example, granting titles or material compensation to the descendants, or bestowing some vain titles to the descendants of the two families.

In this way, the entire program is basically completed.

Xia Junze attached great importance to this matter, and hastily summoned the San Judiciary and the officials of the relevant yamen for discussion, and quickly drew up a charter, which was reported to the Prince Regent's Mansion.

After Jiang Chuan read it, he agreed with the basic regulations and ordered to search for Yuan Chonghuan's descendants.Once you find it, you must bring it to yourself as soon as possible.

This matter is proceeding methodically and quickly.

At the same time, Xia Junze also reported the lack of food in the capital to Jiang Chuan.

Xia Junze looked anxious. He bluntly said that in today's capital, the price of food has already been reached.A bucket of ten taels of silver is so expensive.And it keeps rising.

Even so, the common people could not buy food with money.If there is no way to adjust grain from other places, I am afraid that there will be a chaos in the capital.

Looking at Xia Junze who was full of worries, Jiang Chuan seemed not worried, calm and calm.

Facing the attitude of the regent, Xia Junze was puzzled. He didn't know why the regent was so relaxed. Could it be that all the previous actions were just for fame?
Jiang Chuan saw his thoughts and just told him lightly not to worry.He already knew about the shortage of food in the capital, and he was already thinking of a solution.

Within a few days, the problem of food shortage in the capital will be greatly alleviated.And within a month, the food price in the entire capital will drop to completely return to normal.

Xia Junze was puzzled. He didn't know where the regent would send a large amount of food. After all, the capital had a population of one million, and the daily food consumption alone was an astronomical figure.The only places that the imperial court can control now are the Northern Zhili area and King Qin's Liaodong.Although Qingzhou has been recovered, it has been poisoned by bandits and it will take time to restore order. Naturally, it is impossible to provide food.

However, Jiang Chuan intentionally said that it was not easy for him to get to the bottom of it, so he could only wait and see.

The lack of food can be said to be a huge difficulty for others.But for Jiang Chuan, who owns the fortress base, this is simply a trivial matter.

Jiang Chuan personally arranged things, and the imperial court executed them very efficiently.

Three days later, the imperial court rehabilitated Yuan Chonghuan and Zhou Yunyi.The Prince Regent's Mansion issued a royal edict, which not only restored the reputation of the two, but also posthumously named Yuan Chonghuan as the crown prince and Taifu, and added the feudal title of Marquis of An, posthumously titled Zhongzheng.

Zhou Yuanyi posthumously conferred the crown prince Shao Fu, all his family members were exonerated, and his wife, Lu Shi, was conferred the title of third-rank imperial wife.

The imperial court confiscated all the artifacts in the mansion that day, and all the family property was returned, and Yuan's family was compensated with ten thousand taels of silver, and Zhou's family was compensated with 5000 taels of silver.If the descendants of the two families have the intention to reimburse the imperial court, they can be exempted from the entrance examination to study in Taixue.If you wish to join the army, you can directly join the Prince's Guard Battalion.

As soon as the news came out, the capital was boiling.

The common people talked a lot, and there was a sound of praise between the government and the opposition.

Zhou Yunyi's son, Zhou Deze, is now recuperating in Jiangchuan Prince Qin's mansion. Although he knew that the regent wanted to vindicate his father, when he heard the news came true, he was so excited that he burst into tears. Said that he would swear allegiance to the Regent to the death.

Deng Xiaojin, Zhou Yunyi's adopted daughter, is even more grateful to Jiang Chuan, and she does her best to serve Jiang Chuan, which is omitted.

However, the Yuan family's situation was quite different.

Yuan Chonghuan died of injustice that day, and his death was extremely tragic.All his family members were implicated.Some people were killed, some people were exiled, and many people fled in disorder without trace.

Jiang Chuan also ordered the local governments to search for the descendants of the Yuan family, and once they were found, they should treat them preferentially and send them to the capital.

through this thing.The name of Jiangchuan Regent's benevolence and righteousness quickly spread among the people in the capital, attracting countless voices of praise.

Many people thought that the regent was so benevolent, and in turn cursed the emperor who was locked in the palace for being cruel and immoral.

It was another matter that brought the regent's prestige to a peak.

The food shortage in the capital has been going on for a long time, and the people's grievances are boiling. The soldiers and horses of the Nine Cities dispatch thousands of troops every day to maintain order.

Seeing that it was about to lead to a big chaos, Shuntian Mansion, the major yamen of the imperial court, and even the cabinet were all in a hurry, but no one had a good plan.

Just when everyone was anxious, the first batch of grain sent by the King of Qin from nowhere entered the capital.

As soon as this batch of grain entered Beijing, it was quickly thrown into the market and sold at a par price of one tael of silver per bucket of grain, which immediately aroused looting by the people.

Fortunately, under the maintenance of order by the army, there was no stampede.

As soon as foreign grains entered the capital, grain prices immediately fell.

However, many merchants still hold a wait-and-see attitude, and did not immediately release grain prices for sale.

In their thinking, it was impossible for the imperial court to transfer too much food. At most, it could only alleviate the urgent need.

Unexpectedly, in the next few days, a large amount of grain was transported into Beijing every day, and then quickly put into the market.

The people in the capital rushed to tell each other that everyone could buy food, and the price was extremely low, all of a sudden.The people in the capital's love for the regent Jiang Chuan reached a peak.

In contrast, the grain merchants who are hoarding are starting to panic, and the hoarded grain will not be sold.Now the weather is getting hotter and raining more and more.Once the storage is not good, the food is easy to mold, and at that time it will be lost.

So these grain merchants gritted their teeth, stomped their feet, hurriedly opened stores to sell, and lowered the price to the same price as the imperial court's official grain.

It's a pity that Jiang Chuan made up his mind to make these profiteers completely unlucky. Once they adjusted the price, Jiang Chuan left and ordered the price of grain to be halved, half a tael for a bucket.

Jiang Chuan has a fortress base, and he is not afraid of losing money. He said that all his grain is exchanged from the base. Although he has to pay a [-]% handling fee, the money is nothing compared to the money he earns from selling grain. worth mentioning.

Moreover, as more and more grain was transferred to Beijing, the food shortage in the capital was alleviated at an extremely fast speed, and the mood of the people in the capital quickly settled down.

Those grain merchants hoarded a large amount of grain at a price several times higher than the current price, just waiting to make a fortune during the critical period.However, he never expected that the Prince Regent, who was born out of nowhere, would be able to transfer a large amount of food in a short period of time, and calm down the food shortage problem at an unimaginable speed.

Even if these grain merchants vomit blood and sell them at a big sale at this time, they will suffer heavy losses.Not to mention getting back the money, it's not bad if you don't lose your pants.

However, the price of official food is still being reduced, which makes them curse and continue to follow through with gritted teeth.

It's a pity that the people in the capital hate these profiteers to the core. In addition, the official food supply is very sufficient now, so few people come to buy food at all.

Even if there are occasional uninformed people who come to buy grain, there are still kind-hearted people who will persuade him not to buy grain at the door of these grain stores, and then take them to the government-owned grain store to buy, and those grain merchants vomit blood even more. .But they didn't dare to be violent, because [-]% of the soldiers of Bingma Division were wandering around the door, and those who disturbed their business didn't care, but as long as they dared to make a move, the soldiers would come over to clean them up immediately.

These grain merchants complained endlessly, but there was nothing they could do.

But what made them even more miserable was that after the price of grain was completely stabilized, the government immediately closed down their grain shop for the crime of hoarding and disturbing the order in the capital.And brought the owner and shopkeeper to the Yamen for interrogation.

As a result, the people in the capital raised their hands to applaud and shouted long live the Regent. Many people even set up a shrine to the Regent Jiang Chuan at home, burning incense and praying every day.

When Jiang Chuan heard about this, he couldn't laugh or cry, but he knew the kindness of the people and let him go.

When Jiang Chuan wins people's hearts in the capital, stabilizes internal affairs, and stabilizes prices.

The Qin army's battle in Qingzhou also came to an end.After the recovery of Jinan Prefecture, Yanzhou Prefecture, Laizhou Prefecture, Dengzhou Prefecture, Dongchang Prefecture, Daming Prefecture and other prefectures and counties were recovered one after another.

The remnants of the Dashun army fled one after another like the scorching sun in the snow, and the states recovered one after another.The strength of the Qin army quickly expanded to the entire Qingzhou.

Hu Zongxian is now appointed by Jiang Chuan as the governor of Qingzhou, with full authority to act in Qingzhou and Jiangnan wars, as well as the reconstruction of order after the restoration.

Hu Zongxian was preparing to send an ambitious army to continue southward, marching towards the Central Plains and the Jiangnan area.An unexpected force came into Qin Jun's sight.

On May 400th, a group of Japanese pirates attacked Weihaiwei, Qingzhou from the sea by boat, killing more than [-] soldiers and civilians in Weihaiwei, and kidnapping nearly [-] women. leave.

When the news reached Qingzhou Governor's Mansion, Hu Zongxian was furious.On the one hand, he reported to the Prince Regent's Mansion in the capital, and on the other hand, he rectified his armaments, sent people to contact the Black Ice Platform, collected information about Japanese pirates, and prepared to exterminate this group of Japanese pirates and avenge the people who died in Weihaiwei.

When the news reached the capital, Jiang Chuan was furious.Although he had expected that the Japanese pirates would take advantage of the troubled waters when he was fighting with Li Zi, he did not expect the Japanese pirates' attack to be so unexpected, so cruel and inhuman.

Moreover, the Japanese pirates' arrogance is obviously not just for simple robbery, it looks more like a provocation and temptation.

If he can't quickly wipe out this group of Japanese pirates and pay them back ten times and a hundred times, there will be more and more attacks like this in the future, and then he will be devastated, and Qingzhou, which is finally stable, will be in turmoil again.
