Zhao Shouhong's move made the officials in the capital panic. Who has been an official for many years and has not made a mistake. They are afraid that Zhao Shouhong will hold on to the mistake and ruin their reputation.After a month, those officials gradually understood that the vast majority of Zhao Shouhong's participants were post-Jin officials, and most of these people were fence-sitters that no one cared about.The constitutionalists don't care about these people, and the diehards don't bother to care about them, so most of these people were dismissed and investigated in the end.

There were not many things to do in the early morning court this day, and the ministers quickly finished talking about their own affairs, and when they were about to leave the court, everyone's eyes turned to Zhao Shouhong in unison.These days, they were all used to it. The Imperial Envoy of the Right Capital would participate in an official performance every two days, so that the eunuch who called out to retreat had to look at him every day before he would sing.

"I have a book to play." Everyone thought in their hearts that sure enough, the imperial envoy of the right capital was going to participate in the performance again.Those Hualan officials were very relaxed, they knew that no matter what, they would not be able to participate in the performance, but the Jin family ministers were all in danger, and they didn't know who would be in trouble again.

Sure enough, Zhao Shouhong came to the center and knelt down and shouted: "The Minister of the Ministry of War, Tie Liang, accepted bribes to search for the people's fat and anointment, and also sold arms privately, causing the new army to lack weapons."

Hearing Zhao Shouhong's intro, Tie Liang jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Nonsense, this is complete nonsense."

"Tie Liang pay attention to his identity, don't yell at the court." Zaifeng reminded, after all, Tie Liang is his right-hand man and the core figure of the diehards, so he must not easily cause problems.

Only then did Tie Liang calm down, and he quickly knelt down and said, "I'm dead, I'm not willing to be ruined by others, that's why I'm so excited. I hope that the queen mother and the regent are sympathetic, and you must not listen to slander." Tie Liang felt a little guilty when he said these words. After all, he had done all the things Zhao Shouhong said, and Zhao Shouhong would not be aimless every time he participated in the performance.

"I have solid evidence to point out the crime committed by Master Tieliang, and it is by no means a lie." Sure enough, Zhao Shouhong produced another evidence.Tie Liang felt that his head was buzzing and he was completely confused, and he didn't know how to refute.

Zaifeng felt a little hot when holding the evidence passed by the eunuch.He knew the importance of Tieliang to him, and this was absolutely necessary, otherwise he would cut off his own arm.However, he had dealt with many officials based on the real evidence before. Once he favored Tie Liang, all other officials would be alienated, and his own losses would be even greater.Zaifeng knew that Zhao Shouhong's seemingly useless participation these days was actually a big trap for himself, but he slipped into it unknowingly. It seems a bit too late to wake up now.

Chapter 325 The End of the Myth

At this time, Zaifeng felt that he was holding a hot soldering iron in his hand, and he couldn't hold it or let it go. He took a hard look at Zhao Shouhong, and cursed in his heart that this guy would cause problems for him. "This king will personally investigate this matter and give everyone an explanation as soon as possible." At this time, Zaifeng could only delay time and slowly think of a solution.

Zhao Shouhong was not in a hurry about this, anyway, the memorial had already been submitted, and the evidence was handed up in front of many civil and military officials.Recently, many ministers have been punished because of the evidence he presented, and now the evidence he handed over in full view, let alone verified, even if he handed over two blank sheets of paper, Zaifeng dare not say it.After all, Tie Liang is his confidant, this is not a secret at all.If he dares to say that there is no evidence, everyone will think that he is partial to his own people, which will make all the centrists abandon him.

"Shou Hong has a good trick, this time he really beat a snake and hit seven inches, and his tricks are really sophisticated." Walking out of the hall, Xu Haichang came up with a smile and said in a low voice.A few days ago, Xu Haichang felt that Zhao Shouhong had made too many enemies, causing the centrists to fall to the diehards, but today's memorial immediately reversed the situation.

Now Zaifeng is hard at both ends. If Tieliang is defeated, the diehards will be divided.Everyone will think that Zaifeng does not protect his own people, and following him will make him feel insecure.If Tieliang is defended, those in the middle will think that Zaifeng is unfair, and there is no hope of following him, so they will rely on the constitutionalists. Zaifeng is bound to suffer a heavy loss this time.

Now Xu Haichang feels that Zhao Shouhong is really clever, he is simply a genius born in the world.He actually kept Zaifeng in the dark with such means, and finally gave him a slap in the face.

"Master Xu, you're being polite. I'm just protecting myself. It's just a small warning who told them to plot against me everywhere." Zhao Shouhong smiled and said goodbye to Xu Haichang.

Zhao Shouhong returned to his mansion as usual, and continued to be his otaku, but the entire imperial capital was boiling because of this.The regent Zaifeng's confidant Tie Liang, Minister of the Ministry of War, participated in the performance. The constitutionalists cheered for this, but the diehards felt like mourning.Since retiring from the court, Zaifeng has not stopped for a while.Those diehards came to him to intercede with Tie Liang one after another, which annoyed him very much.

This kind of situation does not mean that Tie Liang's popularity is good, these people are completely planned for themselves in the sad heart of the rabbit and the fox.Zhao Shouhong kept playing, and maybe one day it would fall on his own head. If Zaifeng let Tie Liang go today, they would be guaranteed.In the future, Zaifeng would let him go if he was to participate in the performance.

This matter has been dragged on for several days. In order to prevent Zai Feng from getting a chance to get away with it, Zhao Shouhong is not participating in other people's performances, and just waits for Tie Liang's matter to end.Regarding Tie Liang's punishment, Zai Feng really had a headache, after much deliberation, he had to make a compromise judgment.

Tie Liang was demoted to three grades and fined a salary of one year, and was allowed to perform crimes and meritorious deeds, and Yin Chang took over as Shangshu of the Ministry of Army.This punishment was Zaifeng's limit, but it did not satisfy the ministers.After all, Zaifeng was decisive in dealing with those wall-riding factions before, but he was soft when he came to his own people, how could this be convincing.

The diehards began to plan how to deal with Zhao Shouhong to save face, and everyone was wary of who Zhao Shouhong would play next.But soon they lost the energy to care about these matters, because the rubber stocks that were passed down as myths finally began to fall.

July [-] was the height of summer, and the heat in the northern hemisphere was almost unbearable, but this temperature could not warm the cold hearts of London securities dealers. On the morning of July [-]th, the London Stock Exchange had just opened, and all the stockholders were talking and laughing as usual, and they were in a very relaxed mood, without any tension that they should have in the stock market every day.

Rubber stocks have been rising for too long, so long that they have forgotten what it means to fall in stock prices. In their view, the glory of rubber has just begun, and rubber stocks still have a lot to do.All they have to do when they come to the stock market every day is to see how much their stocks have increased and whether they should buy some more stocks.

Mr. Warrens is such a person. He was originally a fruit merchant with his own shop and good income, and he was the envy of the people around him.Since rubber stocks began to rise steadily, the envy of the people around him became more and more.Relying on his keen sense of smell, he bought rubber stocks early on. As the stocks doubled and rose, his assets also expanded rapidly.

Profits in stocks can drive anyone crazy, and Mr. Warrens is no exception.He quickly sold his fruit shop, pawned all his properties, and pooled his funds into the stock market.Looking at the rising stock price, Warrens was already in a trance. When he entered the stock hall, he was thinking about which restaurant he should go to eat today.

A restaurant has just opened on Heike Qiao Road recently, and the veal there is very tender.Perhaps a bottle of [-] should be added, and the wife's coat is a bit worn, and some tweed and lace should be bought.

While Warrens was thinking about the complicated affairs at home, he suddenly heard a burst of exclamation.This voice was not made by one person, it was made almost simultaneously from all corners of the trading floor, and the fear and anxiety in that voice made people shiver.

Warrens looked up suddenly, and the large red area on the stock price board made him feel a little glaring.This is impossible. Warrens' first thought was that he had made a mistake. He rubbed his eyes desperately, and when he looked at the price board again, the red color remained the same.

In the stock market pricing rules of the Western Continent and New World countries, green means rising, while red means falling.Looking at the red eyes that represent falling, Warrens can feel the world spinning.He quickly calmed down, comforting himself that those stocks that fell were traditional stocks, and rubber stocks should be rising, while looking for those familiar names on the price board.

Warrens' complexion changed completely. He found that there was not a single stock in the entire stock market that went up, and those that fell the worst were rubber stocks.Warrens immediately reacted, he desperately rushed to the counter, hoping to sell all his stocks before losing money, but other people thought the same as him.

The entire securities hall suddenly became chaotic, and there was a long queue in front of the counter in an instant. People pushed and hugged each other, hoping to sell the stocks as soon as possible.However, the rate of decline of the stock was too fast. When the sell order was filled out, the price of the stock was already lower than the price of the sell order, and no one could sell it.

Chapter 326 A series of bad news

Looking at the plummeting stocks, everyone went crazy. They crowded and wanted to sell the stocks, even if they were sold at the price they bought, but it was all to no avail.The rate of the stock's decline was too fast, and it soon fell below the issue price. A rubber stock that had risen to two hundred pounds actually fell below ten pounds within an hour.

Warrens was already desperate. Looking at the stocks that had fallen to the bottom, he knew that he was finished.Thinking of his bankruptcy, the mortgaged real estate will be taken back by the bank, his wife and daughter will be forced to leave, and he will become a homeless man with no money, and he feels chills all over his body.

There was a scream of "ah", followed by a heavy landing, the sound hit everyone's heart heavily, and finally someone couldn't bear the stimulation of bankruptcy and committed suicide.There were a lot of suicides in London on this day. In front of Big Ben and under the Thames Bridge, almost all of them became morgues. The fire brigade, which was originally in charge of fighting the fire, became a corpse collection team. They were busy collecting corpses all day. into chaos.

In fact, the situation in major cities in the Western Continent is similar. With the collapse of this wave of rubber stocks, other traditional stocks have also been greatly affected.All stocks in the entire stock market fell in response, and the economy of the entire world fell into a downturn again.

This turmoil started in Gwanghae yesterday. To the surprise of all foreigners, Gwanghae, a city in a weak country, has become a barometer of the world stock market.Taking advantage of the more than ten hours between the opening of the Guanghai Stock Exchange and the London Stock Exchange, Shen Ruoxue made a perfect stop.

This was a stock market crash without warning, and the stock market crash started when the major foreign firms were not prepared at all and had no time to withdraw funds.As soon as the market opened, Shen Ruoxue began to ship in large quantities, throwing out all kinds of stocks in her hands. Then a news came that several rubber companies were empty shells. They had neither rubber plantations nor Dongzhai. Occupy land in the Negeri Islands.

The news of the Dongzhaini Self-Defense Forces besieging Batavia also appeared. After a year of arduous struggle, the Dongzhaini Self-Defense Forces led by Liu Bozhao and Zhang Yunfeng continued to grow and their combat effectiveness continued to increase.Finally, Liu Bozhao seized an opportunity. During the second siege of Semarang, he lured the red-haired fleet into the port by tricks, and then sent a commando to lay a large number of mines in the port, trapping the red-haired fleet in the harbor. among the ports.

Then the Dongzhaini Self-Defense Forces defeated the Red-haired defenders with superior strength and captured all the Red-haired navy.Losing the sea barrier, the red-haired man fell into a passive and beaten situation.The coastal cities were conquered one by one, and the red-haired men were too small to do anything.

Soon Liu Bozhao gathered an army of [-] to attack Batavia, which was garrisoned by [-] red-haired people. This was the last stronghold of the red-haired people on Java Island and the seat of the red-haired governor.Once this place is lost, the red-haired people will lose their largest stronghold on the East Zhaini Islands, and their power will inevitably be greatly weakened.

What's even more frightening is that Batavia has a complete ship repair yard. Once the Eastern Zhaini Self-Defense Forces occupy this place, they can use these equipment to maintain the red-haired navy. As long as there are enough crews, they can run across the entire Eastern Zhaini Islands , Occupy any red-haired man's territory at will.And the red-haired man who used the power of the sea to show off his power at the beginning will become a fish on the chopping board, let the opponent flatten and round it, and even fail to make the defenders form a joint force.

Once the East Zhaini Self-Defense Forces disrupt the entire East Zhaini Islands, it will mean that a large number of rubber producing areas will be forced to stop production, and many rubber stocks with plantations there will go bankrupt without exception.This serious news quickly spread to Guanghai, and indirectly affected the trend of the stock market.Since the day before, Shen Ruoxue has been buying short in the futures market. Since she has sufficient funds, it is impossible for foreigners to keep a large amount of funds in the Eastern Continent, which makes it difficult for them to fight.

The turmoil in the futures soon affected the stock market. Under such multiple influences, the stocks naturally plummeted, leaving many investors with no time to sell.Langezhi stock, which was originally worth [-] taels, fell to [-] taels, and rubber stocks plummeted all the way. Both Hualan people and foreigners became victims.

Chen Yiqing lost more than [-] million taels, Dai Jiabao lost more than [-] taels, and Lu Dasheng lost more than [-] million taels. The money bank in Guanghai City was already tight and they couldn't think of a way out.Standard Chartered Bank lost [-] million pounds, Agricole Bank lost more than [-] million francs, and Zhengjin Bank’s [-] million yen was in vain. Many foreigners in Gwanghae’s foreign companies, shipyards and other factories are short of funds because of investing in stocks. on the verge of bankruptcy.

However, these foreign industries are somewhat stronger in resisting blows, and the Hualan bank was the first to go bankrupt. On July 7, Zhengyuan Bank and Qianyu Bank closed first. On July 21, Zhaokang Bank and Senyuan Bank announced their closure. On July 22, Yuanfeng Bank went bankrupt. On July 23, Huida and other three banks followed suit.

Eight banks tied to stocks closed down one after another, causing great panic in the city's banking industry.After the eight banks closed down, more than 139 million taels of banknotes owed to Guanghai Foreign Bank could not be repaid. The foreign banks, which could not guarantee themselves, immediately threatened to take back the money lent to Guanghai Bank.

The "Guofeng Bao" reported on that day: "The capital of Chinese merchants in the bank has completely dried up, and there is no way to accommodate the various banks. However, foreign banks are also difficult to sustain, and they are also on the verge of bankruptcy." Guanghai's financial industry is facing difficulties. risk of collapse.

Facing Gwanghae's turbulent financial market, Gwanghae Daotai Cai Naihuang no longer cared about making troubles for Qin Zhongyi.At the beginning, Cai Naihuang couldn't go to Qin Zhongyi for help because he was so utterly outspoken. In order to save the crisis, he and Zhou Jinzhen, the Prime Minister of the Guanghai Chamber of Commerce, drove to Nandu on the night of the 24th to meet Zhang Renjun, the Governor of Liangjiang.On the return trip, Cai Naihuang went to Suzhou to meet Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangbei, and asked them to report the crisis of Ming Guanghai to the court and try to save it.

Before the court's decree came down, Yan Yibin, the owner of Yuanfengrun Bank, and Liu Ansheng came to Cai Naihuang again, hoping that the Gwanghae local government would take measures to maintain the market.But the impact of this trend is too wide and too deep. Only the Deyuan Bank jointly opened by Yan Yibin and Liu Ansheng suffered a loss of [-] million taels in speculation, which is equivalent to the collapsed Zhengyuan Bank. Only by doing our best to support can we not fall down.

However, Deyuan's family is not the only one that is on the verge of bankruptcy and urgently needs rescue. Cai Naihuang believes that Yan Yibin and Liu Ansheng "are both famous and wealthy in Ningjiang Province, and they came to ask for it in a hurry... Although they have valuable properties, they cannot be used for a while. If they don't come out If it is maintained, it will inevitably lead to bankruptcy, which will make Guanghai Bank even worse."

Chapter 327 Financial Turmoil

Naturally, the imperial capital can't sit idly by and ignore this situation. Once Guanghai's financial market suffers losses, the entire country will suffer heavy losses. On July 7, the imperial court issued a decree: "Zhang Renjun played Guanghai Zhengyuan, Zhaokang, and Qianyu three banks at the same time, closed down at the same time, debt disputes, and the situation in Shanghai is in jeopardy. Discuss the general measures, etc., and the book will be completed according to the sections prepared. Handle it. And order Guanghai Road to carefully plan the aftermath, be careful to prevent fraud, and maintain the market and win the hearts of the people."

With the order of the imperial court, after Cai Naihuang received land deeds and stocks worth [-] million taels from Yan Yibin and Liu Ansheng, he quickly negotiated with nine foreign banks including HSBC, Hongmao, and Citigroup to sign a "maintaining Guanghai market loan contract", intending to borrow [-] million was used to restore the bank's reputation. Unexpectedly, banks from all over the world suffered a lot and were unable to borrow. In the end, only Citibank agreed to borrow, but the conditions were extremely harsh.

At this time, Cai Naihuang couldn't care less. After asking Zaifeng for instructions, he gritted his teeth and borrowed [-] million taels of silver from Citibank with a large amount of land and property in Guanghai as collateral.In addition, Daoku borrowed [-] million taels of official silver and stored it in Yuanfengrun and Yishanyuan, stabilizing the market temporarily.

Every September, the imperial court had to pay the Boxer indemnity. According to the routine, Guanghaidao should bear 9 million taels. This money was usually deposited by Guanghaidao in the well-capitalized and reputable Yuanfengrun and Yishanyuan Banks.However, in September 1910, it was less than two months before Zhengyuan and other banks closed down, and the money in the market was tight, and the Guanghai government treasury took the government money to rescue the market.Therefore, Cai Naihuang appealed to the imperial court, requesting an advance payment of 9 million taels of silver from the Later Jin Imperial Bank.

Because Cai Naihuang "divided a little profit" in the aforementioned loan process, officials from the Central Government Council, Du Branch and other departments began to condemn him for various reasons.They pointed out that Gwanghae-do's guarantee for the loan violated the principle of "business borrows business and repays", and believed that he also had many problems in the process of Gwanghae's acquisition of "Jiji".

Chen Bangrui, the left servant of the Du branch, took the opportunity to provoke Cheng Dequan, the governor of Jiangbei, to participate in the impeachment of Cai Naihuang.The governor's parade platform is naturally one-by-one.The imperial court issued a decree reprimanding Cai Naihuang for "repeatedly asking for help from the poor turnover" since he took over the pipeline warehouse. The overall situation", he was dismissed from his post, and ordered to "pay all the money handled" within two months.

Cai Naihuang was ashamed and angry when he received the dismissal order from the imperial court, and Xiang Yuanfengrun and other banks rushed to recover the official money. On October 10, various foreign banks suddenly announced that they would reject banknotes issued by 7 Guanghai banks. Home Semicolon also went out of business at the same time.

However, the affairs of the imperial court were not finished because of this stock market crash, not only private capital such as Qianzhuang was hit, but the imperial treasury also suffered heavy losses.In order to solve the problem of insufficient expenditure, the imperial court invested 1909 million taels of silver into the stock market in 1000. Although a small amount of cash was withdrawn due to expenses, the branch saw the profit. Put 1910 million taels of silver into it.Originally, the imperial court had hoped to make a fortune from the stocks, so that the state's expenses in a few years would be enough to support it, but they didn't want to lose all of it this time.
