Xiang Fei survived the disaster, ran all the way, and followed Liu Zongmin back to Beijing.

As soon as he arrived in Beijing, the terror of defeated soldiers began to regroup. Liu Zongmin experienced many battles, especially after repeated defeats, and had a lot of experience in reorganizing defeated soldiers. If it were about speculating on public debt, General Liu was only at the right level, but if it was about gathering and reorganizing defeated soldiers, General Liu was definitely unparalleled in the world. In fact, this battle was a defeat, with only two generals under his command injured, Hao Yaoqi and Yuan Zongdi were two generals who were unfortunately injured. Since the generals had no losses and the generals were there, they were there, so the reorganization was still smooth. Those who could run out were elite soldiers, and some soldiers of the Dashun Army near Beijing were drawn to replenish them, and they barely formed an elite army of the Dashun Army.

Luo Dinglong was killed, Xiang Fei was promoted to become a thousand households. On the fourth day, Zhong Dazhu, who was injured on the back, also returned to the camp. Zhong Dazhu was hit by shrapnel, but fortunately his injuries were not serious. After the army collapsed, Zhong Dazhu wanted to be a deserter, but once he left, he had to run back to Beijing reluctantly. Once he hesitated, he wandered, and delayed, he was three days later than Xiang Fei. Xiang Fei fled first, and had already been promoted to a thousand households. Zhong Dazhu had not caught up and was still one hundred households.

Like Zhong Dazhu, who wanted to be a deserter, but later he was reluctant to invest in the fundraising funds in Pingliao's government bonds. There were many such Dashun soldiers, and nearly 60,000 people returned to the team one after another, which made Liu Zongmin unexpected. Liu Zongmin accommodated the remnants of defeated soldiers, and there were more than 80,000 people who fled back to Beijing, which made Liu Zongmin breathe a sigh of relief. Liu Zongmin couldn't help but admire Niu Jinxing's knowledge. Prime Minister Niu's guess of people's hearts is really not a big deal! Mr. Liu was also glad that the Pingliao's government bonds were It has various magical effects, such as allowing the hearts of Beijingers to submit to the hearts of the people, such as allowing the soldiers who participated in the fundraising to return to the team. Based on General Liu's years of experience in defeating wars, the army was dispersed and the few who could gather again. If it were in the past, such a great defeat would be able to gather 20,000 or 30,000 troops and horses to burn incense. Liu Zongmin did not know that "those who have constant property have perseverance" had never heard of the saying "trapped". Unfortunately, these Dashun soldiers were trapped by the "Pingliamentary Debt" and had nothing to do when they became deserters, so they could only continue to serve in the Dashun army.

Now, Liu Zongmin, with other Dashun troops near Beijing, has a total of 200,000 troops, and it should be no problem to defend Beijing. With the new firearms transported from Nanjing, after seeing Zhang Hanfei and his team of staff demonstrating the power of rocket launchers, Liu Zongmin was full of confidence again. Of course, this time, Liu Zongmin did not dare to be arrogant and began to train according to the training outline provided by Zhang Hanfei, and personally listened to these staff members from Nanjing teaching new tactics. For Liu Zongmin, this is a miraculous progress.

Since the remnants of Dashun Army returned to the team one after another, and the new training was launched, the morale of the Dashun Army that was about to collapse for a time has rebounded significantly. However, this great defeat caused the collapse of the "Pingliao Public Debt" and it will not be able to recover for a while after the collapse. At this moment, almost all the people with a little family income in Beijing have been trapped.

Xiang Fei asked someone to bring a letter to Luo Dong to the military camp outside the city. Luo Dong was a food and grass official, and his freedom was much greater than that of Xiang Fei, so Luo Dinglong's votes of Pingliao bought by his subordinates raised funds. Luo Dong took care of them. Luo Dinglong died and many brothers died. Their Pingliao bonds had to be sold for real money and silver, and brought back to their families, of course, the premise was to find their relatives. In addition, most of the surviving soldiers were ready to sell their "Pingliao bonds". Since their defeat, the Dashun army had no idea when they could pacify Liao. Anyway, it was definitely not as boasted in the "Ta Kung Pao" that could beat the Tartars in one fell swoop. Most of them wanted to convert the public debt into silver. Nowadays, it would be better to have real money and silver!

Luo Dong came to the camp and said to Xiang Fei:

"Brother Xiang, do you know the current market for Pingliao's public debt?"

Xiang Fei answered truthfully:

"I have been reorganizing these days and training troops. I finally found you a letter to find you. I just heard that the public debt market is not good. The entire military camp has been training in closed these days. How can we know the public debt market!"

"So that's the case, that's not a wonder. Alas! The current price of public bonds is around one cent and three cents of silver, and rumors will fall to one cent of silver. At this price, it will be a big loss! Do you want to sell it? If you want to sell it, I will list it tomorrow, but it's a big problem to sell it by one cent of silver. But then again, people who sold it at such a low price in the past regretted it after all. After selling it, don't regret it if it rises again!"

It took Zhong Dazhu a long time to react, pressed Luo Dong's shoulder and shouted:

"What? You make it clear, the government bonds have fallen to one cent and four cents of silver?"

Zhong Dazhu was tall and big. Although he was injured on his back, he was just a minor injury. This press almost pressed Luo Dong down. Obviously, Zhong Dazhu was too shocked, and the public debt actually fell to the price of vomiting blood, and he still didn't want to believe Luo Dong's words. Xiang Fei hurriedly grabbed Zhong Dazhu, Luo Dong quickly moved back a few steps and said solemnly:

"Brother Zhong, if I tell a lie, it will be thunder. Luo Dinglong and I are fellow villagers. He is dead. Do I still want to make money from the dead? Go and inquire about what the current public debt is. On that day, the news of the crushing defeat in Beijing was first heard. In panic, the public debt fell and suddenly fell to the price of one cent of silver. The two days were still better, and it rebounded to one cent of three cents of silver. It was rumored that General Liu was preparing to recover Shanhaiguan in one fell swoop. The price of the public debt was once optimistic and came up again.

After nine cents and two cents of silver, Shanhaiguan suffered a big defeat, and the government bonds collapsed suddenly, and it fell to more than one cent of silver. No one expected it! A few days ago, rumors spread everywhere, saying that Beijing would soon be out of business, so many people were eager to sell government bonds and flee south, so regardless of the loss, no matter what price, it would be enough to sell them and exchange them for real money and silver. Thanks to the emperor's order, the exchange's government bond transaction price must not be lower than one cent of silver, so that the market has not been lower than one cent of silver."

Xiang Fei thought about it, what Luo Dong said was true. On that day, he threw away his armor and fled back to Beijing. Even he thought Beijing was in danger. Thinking about the battle at Shanhaiguan, Luo Dinglong fell to his right side a few steps away, and his brain was splashed. The rain of bullets knocked out the brothers' seven souls and six spirits. At that time, except for running away desperately, everyone had no other thoughts in their hearts. Until they heard some lectures from people from Nanjing.

The offensive and defensive tactics of firearms realized that such a charge was no different from a death. If it were today, even if it was not comparable to the Tartars, at least they would not have been defeated so badly! Alas! Since I thought the Tartars would take advantage of the victory that day, Beijing could be put on a verge of chaos. At that time, the people in Beijing were of course in chaos. Fleeing south was probably something that most people would think of at the first time. Thinking of this festival, Xiang Fei said:

"Brother Luo, Shanhaiguan is defeated, and the public debt market will naturally fall sharply. I can imagine this, but I didn't expect it to be so miserable. Alas! It's not surprising that it fell to this price. No matter what, the dead brothers, should I help them sell their public debt, and send the money to their families. Mr. Liu has arrangements for giving money. In short, the brothers can rest in peace! As for the public debt of the living person, I will not sell it at such a low price. Maybe it will rise in the future. It will be a loss to sell it at this time! Dazhu, I think the public debt of the living person should not be rushed. Anyway, I don't wait for the money to spend. What if it rises sharply in the future! What do you think?"

Zhong Dazhu rarely cares about his money on weekdays and has never had any idea about silver. What he cares more about is that he can eat and drink. When Luo Dinglong was there, he listened to Luo Dinglong in everything. Luo Dinglong died, and now Xiang Fei has become his backbone. He said silly:

"Our public debt was originally made money, but we didn't sell it at that time. Now we only have a pair of shorts left. If we sell it at this time, if it increases to one or five cents of silver in the future, we will really regret it! If you don't sell it, I won't sell it either. Go back and tell the brothers, you will only sell it if you fools!"

Xiang Fei breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Luo Dong and said:

"Then please Brother Ro, sell the debt of the brother who died first. Don't move the rest first, and wait until the market is ready."

Luo Dong nodded repeatedly and sighed:

"Oh! My fellow villager Luo Dinglong had a great future, but he had no blessings and enjoyment! Well, I'll do it."

It was noon again, at Lao Chenji Restaurant opposite the Beijing Public Bond Exchange, four young men sat in the empty restaurant, drinking and chatting.

The thin young master Liao shook off the folding fan, closed it leisurely, knocked on the table with the folding fan, and said slowly:

"Since the opening of the exchange opposite, this old Chen Ji Restaurant has often been crowded. I didn't expect that this time the government bonds fell sharply. This restaurant, which was originally a bustling one, would be neglected!"

The fat young master Long had not swallowed the chicken legs in his mouth, and said in a hurry:

"Isn't it? Look, the waiter drinks more than we do!"

Mr. Lin still looked sick and said with a smile:

"The world is bustling, all for profit, and all for profit. In the past, it was bustling here because the exchanges on the opposite side made the world profitable. Now that the public debts are falling so badly, all those who hold the public debts are losing a lot, so naturally no one cares about it here."

The big-eared Young Master Dai sighed and said:

"Young Master Fan is foresighted. When it rose to more than one tael of silver, he sold all the government bonds and went to Nanjing to trade stocks. It's really admirable! It's a pity that he was holding the government bonds and still hugging them and not selling them when he made one or two times the profit. Haha, I'm so trapped now. I'm ashamed!"

Young Master Long smiled bitterly and said:

"I'm not the same, hehe, I'll be trapped. Fortunately, I don't wait for the money to be trapped in the public debt to have a meal. I heard that in the Liu private equity fund, many small households are waiting for money to eat and have to cut their money to sell their debts. That's a fool, and they can't make a comeback!"

Mr. Liao said with a solemn look on his face:

"Brother Long, the full man doesn't know that the hungry man is hungry! The rice price in Beijing has risen to eight taels of silver per stone. Now it's just that the young and innocent people are not allowed to buy it. In addition, the rice price will probably rise. Those people who are fighting for money originally wanted to raise funds to make money on public debt, but they have to eat first. People are going to starve to death, so what are you going to care about whether you lose or not! Sell the public debt first and talk about it. Alas!"

In this battle of Shanhaiguan, the Dashun army was defeated, and all the food, grass and supplies were captured by the Qing army. Dashun had to buy grain again. Dashun also made a large-scale purchase of grain again last year, but the results were very little. The situation was turbulent in various places, and the fields were often deserted. What Li Zicheng was good at was to smash an old world and had not yet built a new world to govern the country, and the grain still failed. So he had to sell grain from Nanjing in large quantities. Fortunately, the Ming Dynasty quickly planted a season of sweet potatoes, and in addition, he tried his best to urge farmers to grow grain, and finally he could still be self-sufficient. As for selling grain and Li Zicheng, rice and sweet potatoes could barely be supplied. However, Dashun was robbed of grain and had to buy one million stones of grain from Nanjing at once. Where did the Ming Dynasty get so much food takeaway? It was finally easy to get 500,000 stones of grain, but I don’t know when it will be transported to Beijing. Therefore, the grain prices in Beijing rose sharply.

Mr. Lin picked up the wine glass and made a statement of urging him to drink:

"Three guys, I'll drink this glass of wine first, three of you will do whatever you want. Most of the government bonds I have sold above nine cents of silver, and there are not much left in my hands. I'm determined to sell all the government bonds, and then go to Nanjing, and I'm ready to do some new business in Nanjing. Haha! As far as I see, Dashun's crisis should be overcome, and there will be a chance of recovery of the government bonds. The three brothers' hands can keep the government bonds in their hands. There will be a turnaround in the future. However, you must avoid being too greedy. If you rise to the appropriate price, you must take decisive action. Looking at Dashun's military and political affairs, you won't see any grand atmosphere, so you have this suggestion. Three brothers', go to Nanjing here, and if you go to Nanjing in the future, just come to me."

Mr. Liao bowed and said:

"Congratulations to Brother Lin! More than half of the public debts are thrown into his hands, so the people under him are trapped, otherwise they would have followed Brother Lin to Nanjing. But I still want to congratulate Brother Lin!"

Young Master Long and Young Master Dai also bowed their hands at the same time, Young Master Long said:

"Congratulations to Brother Lin for escaping from the sea of ​​suffering! Brother Dai and Brother Dai are deeply trapped and are now trapped in Beijing, and they cannot move at all. I wish Brother Lin a prosperous business in this glass of wine!"

Mr. Dai finished drinking the wine in the glass in one sip and laughed:

"It's not just the three of us who are trapped! I heard that Dashun's soldiers raised funds to buy public debts, and they were all trapped one by one, so they couldn't even be regarded as deserters! Haha! Haha!"
