Chapter 521 Chongzheng Borrows Money
And at this time, what Chong is doing?
Borrow money.
It is famous for its reputation, and it is donated.
It means that Chongzheng borrowed money from all civil and military officials and princes and nobles in the capital.
It’s not in vain, write an IOU.
However, the most speechless scene in history appeared.
In such a huge capital, there were thousands of officials and more than a hundred kings and princes, and a total of 180,000 taels of silver were collected.
Among them, 80,000 were donated by eunuchs in the palace, and 10,000 were donated by Queen Zhou.
This Wuyang, a large area of Wuyang, the most wealthy dog family in the Dali Dynasty, donated a total of 90,000 taels.
This can no longer be called a slap in Chongzheng's face.
The most excellent one is Chongzheng's father-in-law Zhou Kui.
Whether or not someone takes the lead is important whether or not someone takes the lead.
As a good wife, Empress Zhou naturally thought of her father at the first time and wanted her father to donate 200,000 taels.
My family knows her own affairs, and Empress Zhou dares to speak out, so naturally she knows that her father is rich, and 200,000 taels are just a drizzle.
As a result, Zhou Kui, the wealthy slave, bit him to death and had no money.
He also sent someone to buy ragged clothes for his family to wear, and buy moldy rice into the rice jar.
As long as someone comes to the palace, he will cry poorly, and tears and snot tell the tragic story of him being so poor that he can only eat moldy rice to survive.
It's okay to ask for money, just fifty taels, and there's no more.
Queen Zhou knew her father's temperament and it was absolutely impossible to donate 200,000 taels. She said that this number was nothing more than waiting for her father to bargain. Even if she cut it to 10%, there would be 20,000 taels, which was enough.
As a result, 200,000 becomes fifty.
Queen Zhou cried out in anger, and there was no end to the nest when it was destroyed. She tried every means to persuade her, but Zhou Kui refused to let go.
Helplessly, Empress Zhou had no choice but to sell the dowry jewelry that was in the box, and secretly sent someone to Zhou Kui to donate this ten thousand taels in her own name.
As a result, Zhou Kui donated, but only donated 5,000 taels.
I earned 5,000 taels by myself!
When Queen Zhou heard about it, she was so angry that she wanted to break off relations with her father.
But no matter how angry Empress Zhou was, Chong Zheng's face looked ugly.
That’s all the money, 180,000 taels.
After scattering it, the leaders passed through officials at all levels, and the generals fell on ordinary soldiers. Ten people could probably buy a moldy, mixed bun.
Chongzheng took the 180,000 taels and handed it over to Cao Wenzhao, the general of the State.
Although Cao Wenzhao had never gained the trust of the court and was guarded against everywhere, as a general, he was really qualified.
Although the general of Zhenguo lost in the battle against the nine borders, he still made great contributions.
Carrying the 180,000 taels of silver given by Chongzheng, Cao Wenzhao led 10,000 elite troops out of Tongguan to fight against Li Chuang's main force.
At this time, Chongzheng was still thinking that Cao Wenzhao would create another contribution to heaven.
Good guy, 10,000 to 400,000.
One dares to think and the other dares to do.
As for the result, it is very skinny.
Cao Wenzhao was beaten up by Li Chuang, and his head was covered with bags. He fled back to the border city with only two thousand remaining soldiers, and he never responded to the imperial edict again.
The imperial edict was to suffer internal injuries and heal the wound.
As soon as Cao Wenzhao was defeated, the guards of Tongguan symbolically held on for a day and surrendered.
Since then, the gates of the capital have been opened and the last barrier has been lost.
Chongzheng was panicked and urgently ordered the Feiyugu Commander Shen Lian to lead the Feiyugu and 30,000 people in the Jingying camp to fight the thieves.
Shen Lian asked the emperor to make a southern tour, but it was not allowed.
The request for the prince to inspect Jiangnan was not allowed.
Requesting to defend the capital and wait for assistance is not allowed.
Helplessly, Shen Lian had to lead the army to the expedition.
However, at this time, Li Chuang's forward had arrived near the capital. Shen Lian led his army to defend Bazhou, supporting the capital and defending the canal to take effect on changes in the current situation.
Chen Lian was actually quite desperate, but he still had a hint of luck, that was the guy who had been sleeping for three months but still had not woken up.
However... this time Chen Lian miscalculated.
That guy was so stupid that he really didn't care about anything.
Li Chuang's army of 500,000 was pressing towards Bazhou.
Chen Lian was immediately under great pressure and was about to bite the bullet and start fighting. Li Chuang's army suddenly left 200,000 troops besieged the city, and the remaining 300,000 were passing around the city and heading straight to the capital.
Two days later, Feige heard from news.
The eunuch guarding the capital city Gao Qi sneaked into the city and surrendered, and the vanguard of the rebel army had occupied the capital city.
