Guo Jiuling's death tore open the last fig leaf between the Ming Dynasty and the State of Chu. The State of Chu was unwilling to sink into the sky, and the State of Ming Dynasty finally showed his hideous fangs.

This is the result that Guo Jiuling wanted. He used his own death to completely end the last veil between the two countries, which was too thin to be thin, and gave the Ming Dynasty the best excuse to launch an attack.

The two countries of Chu and Ming were originally in-law countries, and have always been showing their close allies. However, with the outbreak of domestic conflicts in Qi, Ming's layout in Chu was basically almost completed, and the action of annexing Chu was on the string. The only thing Ming Dynasty was concerned about was the public's opposition.

Not only those in Chu State, but also in its own country.

A rebellious face without reason will make the Chu people feel ashamed and arouse their shared hatred of the enemy. Even if the Chu army is basically vulnerable, such resistance will have an extremely adverse impact on the subsequent assimilation of the Ming Dynasty on Chu. Qin Feng will not forget that a country like the Qin Dynasty, which was extremely poor and the imperial kings were incompetent, had countless unrest after being conquered by the Ming Dynasty. If Qin is like this, how can Chu be an exception? You must know that the decades of prosperity created by Min Wei still make the Chu people miss it very much. The old feelings are still there, and the incense is particularly abundant. Once the Ming Dynasty takes the lead in launching an attack, it is really hard to predict what impact it will have.

Ordinary people in China do not know that the Ming Dynasty has been silently planning its grand strategy for Chu State over the years. What they saw was that Chu Ming’s family was a friendly exchange between the two countries. The sudden turn of confrontation would also make the domestic clear-cut discussions and criticisms. Even if the overall situation cannot be changed, the Ming Dynasty did not want the domestic people to think that their king was a ruthless person. On the contrary, over the years, the image of the emperor created by Qin Feng has always been very perfect.

It was precisely because Guo Jiuling saw this that he decided to use his limited life to open this door for the Ming Dynasty.

He died in Shangjing.

A high-ranking official of the Ming Dynasty died tragically in the capital of Chu State, which was enough to anger all the Ming people.

So when Guo Jiuling died, he smiled happily.

The two countries completely tore their faces apart.

The Ming Dynasty stopped lending to Chu State and prohibited the import of even a grain of food from Chu State. The large number of Chu merchants did not crazily sell the goods in their hands at the first time, but resolutely burned the goods collected in their hands, and then fled under the protection of the Eagle Nest. Changlong Bank suddenly closed all branches in Chu State. Except for the personnel recruited locally, the senior management of the Ming State had already been empty.

In recent years, Changlong Bank has absorbed a large amount of deposits from Chu people because of its different operating methods from the local money houses in Chu. Their doors and doors were closed immediately caused great panic in Chu. Countless people's money from Changlong Bank have been wasted. Among them, the most damaged ones were not the wealthy, but the most ordinary people. The governments in various parts of Chu were in a mess.

Changlong Bank ran very thoroughly. None of the top leaders of the Ming Dynasty were seen, and no penny was seen in the warehouse. A large amount of Ming Dynasty banknotes were burned, and hard currency such as gold and silver were missing. Apart from arresting those local people working in Changlong Bank, the local government had no choice.

The Ming merchants who controlled the economy of Chu destroyed a large amount of goods, especially grain and other materials, were the result of soaring prices in various places, and the price of grain had increased more than ten times in just a few days.

The State of Chu was in a national panic, and the court was at a loss.

After the twelfth month, the hungry and people riots broke out in Ba County. Countless hungry and cold people rushed into the Yichuang of the county government. After sweeping away the strategic food stored there, they clashed with the soldiers of Ba County. The war was immediately ignited in the entire county of Ba County. Before the Chu court could react, the soldiers, mainly locals in Ba County, rebelled and joined the ranks of riots. Countless officials were killed, and Ba County fell into complete chaos.

The riots in Ba County were like pushing down dominoes. Various riots and uprisings first began to unfold in some remote counties in Chu State. This raging fire began to spread to the core area of ​​Chu State's rule with an irresistible momentum.

The people of Chu were panic and everyone was in danger.

Only more than a month since Guo Jiuling died in Shangjing City, the Ming Dynasty did not use any soldiers and soldiers, and only used economic and financial means, which had caused chaos in the Chu State.

In the capital city, the palace, and the conference hall, Qin Feng was flipping through the information sent back from the State of Chu, his face a little unsightly.

"I really underestimated these methods before and thought they were just a supplement to the war. Now it seems that its lethality is much greater than the casualties caused by a war." Qin Feng sighed and said, "In this way, the people who suffer the most will be the people at the bottom."

"If this is not the case, it will not be enough to shake the foundation of Chu State." Quan Yun said: "Only countless small people can move, the century-old building of Chu State begins to shake. Now Chu State is completely unable to suppress the riots in the country. The elite army of Chu State, like the Fire Phoenix Army, is concentrated near Shangjing City, while most of the others are in the hands of Bian Wushuang, limited to the six eastern counties and one place in the south of the Yangtze River. The soldiers of other counties are mainly local people, and they are also unable to eat enough and do not wear warm clothes. After the riot, these troops that were originally the court to maintain order have become the main force of the riots. Eagle Nest has done a good job in these areas in recent years, and has penetrated extremely strongly into the county military system of these counties. The power shown by the Ministry of Revenue, the Commerce Department, and the Imperial Bank in commercial and financial measures has now been seen, and the effect is beyond our imagination."

"What are Min Ruoying's solutions?" Qin Feng asked, "It's impossible for him to do nothing, right?"

"Your Majesty." Tian Kang stood up, "The Chu court has issued an order to expel Ming people. Any Ming people in Chu are being driven away. All our property in Chu will be confiscated. Of course, these are some real estate, such as houses, land, workshops, etc., which are really useful. We have destroyed them in advance. At the same time, the Emperor of Chu announced the abolition of the circulation of Ming banknotes in Chu, and reuse of the Da Chu money. The latest Da Chu money casting template has been handed over to the Da Ming Empire Bank Bank."

Su Can smiled and nodded.

"The Emperor of Chu announced that the whole country had entered a military control period, forcibly confiscated all food and other property, and implemented a unified distribution system. Of course, this order is only applicable to the nearest part of Shangjing, and other counties may not be implemented so smoothly. In terms of military affairs, the Emperor of Chu ordered the transfer of 20,000 Suqian troops stationed in Wanzhou to Jinzhou, ordered Guan Hongyu troops from Anyang to lead 20,000 people to Xuzhou, and ordered Wu Teng of Xinning County to lead 10,000 people to Lelang County. These three places are the most peaceful places in the Chu State now."

"Suqian's troops will definitely go to Jinzhou and become a barrier to Shangjing City, but the other two places may not be able to submit the order." Qin Feng said sarcastically.

"Do you want to know Wu Teng and let him go to Lelang? In this way, can we easily get the two counties?" Quan Yun said.

"No!" Qin Feng refused flatly, "On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Teng will announce his acceptance of our Ming Dynasty. At this time, he will lead his army to Lelang, and his control over Xinning will be weakened. Moreover, when he goes to Lelang County, he will be a guest army, with many restrictions, which is far less than the greater attack on Min Ruoying when he announces his acceptance in Xinning. Let Wu Teng ignore it directly. When he announces his acceptance, Lelang County will be unable to sleep or eat. When it comes to the time to use troops, Lelang County will still belong to us as soon as the army comes out."

"It is difficult to judge Guan Hongyu of Anyang, but if he led his army to Xuzhou, then Bian Wenhao's 10,000 troops in Anyang would have more places to use." Jin Jingnan smiled. "Maybe we can take Anyang without blood."

"Wait and see again, don't worry." Qin Feng said. "That's all?"

"Your Majesty, so far, the Chu court has only made these decisions. It seems that they are caught off guard and are a little busy."

"It's not a day when the ice is frozen. Our Ming Dynasty has been planning for so many years. Once it is launched, it is not something they can react in a short time." Fang Dazhi said contemptuously: "I think we should consider how to restore peace and order after taking over Chu territory. After all, it's easy to be in chaos, but it will take a lot of trouble to be governed. Although many of the riots in Chu territory are dominated by us, there are also many who have taken advantage of the chaos. There are many heroes here."

"Order Chen Zhihua from the Western Theater Command to mobilize three to four battalions into Qinghe County. Order Wild Dogs to mobilize the main force of the four battalions from the central Theater Command to enter Izuyun County, and order the navy Ning Zefeng to mobilize all the troops to enter Quanzhou waters and standby." Qin Feng thought for a moment and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." The War kitten nodded and said yes.

"I wrote to Yang Zhi and told him that the rebellion within the State of Chu that he must gain the dominance. For those who take advantage of the situation, they must have a clear idea, know themselves and enemies, and make arrangements in advance so that they can be captured in one fell swoop."

"Let me write to Zeng Lin and Jiang Shangyan, and ask them to pay close attention to all Bian Wushuang's actions. They must restrain this person from doing something big at this time. This person has to be careful. When a chaotic world occurs, heroes come out. Bian Wushuang may be excited at this time!"

"I'll send a letter to Zhou Jiyun, take advantage of this great victory to launch a limited counterattack, adding some pressure to Cao Tiancheng, so that he has no time to pay attention to the affairs of Chu at this time."

"During this period of time, we have devoted our efforts to this battle of Chu."
