Chapter 521 Chongzheng Borrows Money
And at this time, what is Chong doing?
borrow money.
The good name is to accept donations.
It was Chongzheng who borrowed money from civil and military officials in the capital, and princes and marquis Xungui.
Not in vain, IOU.
However, the most speechless scene in history appeared.
In the huge capital city, there are thousands of officials and hundreds of princes and marquises, and they received a total of 180,000 taels of silver.
Among them, 80,000 was donated by the eunuchs in the palace, and 10,000 was donated by Queen Zhou.
The richest family in the Dali Dynasty in Wuyang Wuyang donated a total of 90,000 taels.
This can no longer be called a lack, it is clearly slapping Chongzheng in the face.
The most outstanding one is Zhou Kui, the father-in-law of Chongzheng.
It is very important whether there is someone to take the lead in the success or failure of donations.
As a virtuous housemate, Empress Zhou naturally thought of her father immediately, and wanted him to donate 200,000 taels.
My family knew about my own family affairs, so Empress Zhou dared to say this because she knew that her father was rich, and two hundred thousand taels was just a drizzle. Biqu library
As a result, Zhou Kui, a miser, was killed and had no money.
They also sent people to buy tattered clothes for the family to wear, and bought moldy rice to put in rice vats.
As long as people came to the palace, he would cry about being poor, and tell about his miserable life of being so poor that he could only live on moldy rice with tears and snot in his nose.
You can ask for silver, just fifty taels, nothing more.
Empress Zhou knew her father's temper, so it was absolutely impossible to donate 200,000 taels. She said that this amount was nothing more than waiting for her father to cut it
Even if the price is reduced to 10%, there is still 20,000 taels, which is enough.
As a result, two hundred thousand became fifty.
Empress Zhou burst into tears immediately, thinking that there would be no eggs under the overturned nest, she persuaded her in every possible way, but in the end Zhou Kui refused to let go.
Helpless, Empress Zhou had no choice but to sell the dowry jewelry at the bottom of the box, collected 10,000 taels and secretly sent someone to give it to Zhou Kui, and asked Zhou Kui to donate the 10,000 taels in her own name.
As a result, Zhou Kui donated, but he only donated five thousand taels.
I earned five thousand taels while crying!
When Queen Zhou heard about it, she was so angry that she wanted to sever ties with her father.
But no matter how angry Queen Zhou was, how ugly Chongzheng's face was.
That's all the money, 180,000 taels.
After being scattered by officials and generals at all levels, the stolen money falls on the heads of ordinary soldiers. Ten people can probably buy a moldy Zamian steamed bun.
Chongzheng took the 180,000 taels and handed it over to General Zhen Guo Cao Wenzhao.
As for Cao Wenzhao, although he has never gained the trust of the imperial court and is always on guard, as a general, he is really qualified.
In the battle against Nine Sides and Pinglu Land, although General Zhen Guo had lost, he still made great contributions in the end.
With the 180,000 taels of silver from Chongzheng, Cao Wenzhao led 10,000 elite soldiers out of Tongguan to meet Li Chuang's main force.
At this time, Chongzheng was still thinking that Cao Wenzhao could make another great contribution.
Good guy, 10,000 beats 400,000.
One dares to think, the other dares to do.
As for the result
, very skinny.
Cao Wenzhao was beaten so hard by Li Chuang that his head was full of bruises, and he fled back to the border town with only two thousand disabled soldiers in embarrassment, never to be ordered again.
The edict is that he suffered internal injuries and needs to recover.
After Cao Wenzhao's defeat, the Tongguan guard lasted for a symbolic day before surrendering.
Since then, the gate of the capital city has been opened, and the last barrier has been lost.
Chongzheng panicked and urgently ordered Shen Lian, the commander of Feiyuwei, to lead Feiyuwei and 30,000 people from the Beijing camp to face the intruders.
Shen Lianzuo invited the emperor to tour the south, but he was not allowed.
Zhao asked the prince to inspect the south of the Yangtze River, but he was not allowed.
Please stick to the capital and wait for help, no.
Helpless, Shen Lian could only lead the army.
However, Li Chuang's forward had arrived near Gyeonggi at this time, and Shen Lian led his army to defend Bazhou, supporting the capital while defending the canal, in order to change the situation.
Shen Lian was actually quite desperate in his heart, but he still saved a little luck, that was the guy who hadn't woken up after three months of sleep.
However... Shen Lian miscalculated this time.
That guy is so bad, he really doesn't care about anything.
Li Chuang's army of 500,000 troops pressed on Bazhou.
Shen Lian was under great pressure immediately, and was about to bite the bullet and start a fight. Li Chuang's army suddenly left 200,000 troops to besiege the city, and the remaining 300,000 troops went around the city and went straight to the capital.
Two days later, news came from Feige.
Gao Qiqian, the eunuch guarding the capital, surrendered the city, and the vanguard of the Chuang army has occupied the capital.
The Bazhou occupied by Shen Lian became an isolated city.
