The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 441 Suppressing Public Opinion

As the saying goes, time is the cure for everything!
What's more, now Bumbutai still needs Hong Chengchou to help him with his ideas and find a way to suppress the rumors that have been raging in the capital recently.

Bumbutai cleared his throat and spoke.

"Have the Qing family heard of the rumor that has been circulating in the capital recently?"

Hong Chengchou said slightly.

"Reporting to the Empress Dowager, I have heard about it!"

Bumbutai narrowed his eyes and said.

"Does the Qing family have a way to suppress the rumors?"

"Let the rumors continue, I'm afraid it will damage the court's prestige!"

Hong Chengchou learned smart this time, and without hesitation, he directly came up with his own solution.

"Report to the Empress Dowager!"

"In my opinion, it is not difficult to suppress this rumor!"

"As long as another more explosive rumor appears!"

Hong Chengchou's words awakened Bumbutai.

Bumbutai nodded slightly, and then spoke.

"The Qing family is doing well, go back and rest!"

Hong Chengchou resigned and left, but Bumbutai's eyes flashed thoughtfully.

Only the next day, there were more explosive rumors circulating in the capital.

For example, say that Huang Taiji and Dorgon are Brokeback Mountain.

For example, when talking about Fan Wencheng's wife and Duo Duo, the Dorgon brothers had to talk about it for three days and three nights.

What Hong Chengchou, Wu Sangui, and Chen Yuanyuan's love and hatred.

These messy news quickly suppressed all kinds of gossip about Bumbutai in terms of popularity.

After all, compared to Bumbutai and Aobai's purely pornographic rumors.

Obviously, these rumors of gays, love triangles, and ethical relationships became even more explosive later on.

The hot search list in Beijing is changing rapidly!
……

Guangzhou City!
Zhu Hongyu personally wrote and signed the combat order to launch an attack on Guangxi.

The recovery army of nearly 2 people was mobilized, and the Guiyi army of [-] people launched an attack on Guangxi.

In addition, nearly 5 civilian husbands were mobilized to accompany the army, responsible for escorting the army's food, grass, and military equipment needed for this battle.

The Ming army is marching towards Guangxi in mighty force!
Standing at the top of the city, Zhu Hongyu watched the army heading west, and looked at the crimson armor spread out on the ground, which could not be seen at a glance.

The blood is surging in the chest!

This is his army!

In this battle, he is not going to lead the troops in person, but is going to stay in Guangzhou and focus more on government affairs and overall strategy.

And make plans for the Qing army after it goes south!
This kind of frontal battle can be entrusted to the generals in the recovery army.

The most is to equip them with a staff group to ensure that there will be no major problems in strategy and tactics.

The next thing is that the Ming army pushed evenly with hard power!
"Clouds are clustered with dragons, wind follows tigers, fame and wealth, dust and earth!"

"Looking at Shenzhou, the people are suffering, and thousands of miles of fertile land are barren!"

"Look at the world, make all the hustlers, and make up for the incompleteness of heaven!"

"..."

Everyone in the Restoration Army knew that their supervisor was standing at the top of the city, watching them.

Excited, singing military songs!

Accompanied by the chant, they stepped forward neatly.

Their heads held high, full of pride.

……

Outside Xinhui City, Yangshupo Village.

It got its name because of the many poplar trees planted on the hillside behind the village.

But on that hillside, more bones were pulled out from Xinhui City back then.

Back then, the Qing army defended Xinhui, and the defenders in the city were short of food, so they killed people for food.

On the hillside of Yangshupo Village, the bones of those people who died under the butcher knife of the Qing soldiers are buried.

When the Ming Dynasty wanted to send troops to conquer Guangxi, it needed to mobilize militia groups and civilian husbands in Guangdong as auxiliary troops.

During this process, the people of Xinhui showed unusual enthusiasm.

The local landlords and large households contributed money and food, and the common people contributed people and efforts, and they spontaneously wanted to transfer food and grass for the army.

……

It was still dark, and the moon in the sky shone dimly.

In the village, smoke has already risen from cooking, and every household is lighting a fire to cook.

The same is true for Li Tianguang's mother-in-law, who fumbled to get up before dawn.

Not willing to light the oil lamp, I got dressed in the dark, and then went to the kitchen to start working.

I lit the firewood stove, grabbed a handful of rice, and prepared to cook a pot of porridge.

But she hesitated, and grabbed another handful.

Then I started to work on other things. After steaming the steamed buns, I fried a small cabbage with lard.

Reheat the chicken stewed last night!
After Li Tianguang's mother-in-law finished her work, she made breakfast.

It was also dawn, the rooster at home sang white, and the sun rose, illuminating most of the sky.

Li Tianguang got up from the bed, went to the dry toilet outside the wall of his courtyard to drain the water, and walked to his kitchen while wearing his belt.

Seeing my mother-in-law busy in the kitchen, I feel warm in my heart.

He sat on the table and began to eat a hearty breakfast with big mouthfuls.

The Li family is actually quite poor. There are a few chickens in the family, but they are also used to lay eggs and then sell them.

Even during the holidays, you may not be reluctant to eat chicken.

Seeing Li Tian's mouthfuls of eating, but not touching the can of chicken, his mother-in-law couldn't help but said.

"Master, eat some meat!"

"The imperial court wants to enlist masters to fight in Guangxi. The terrain in Guangxi is rugged and plagued with dysentery. In addition to the hardships and hardships of the army marching, it is unknown how many people will die along the way."

"If you don't have enough to eat, how can you go on the road!"

Listening to his mother-in-law's words, Li Tianguang always felt weird, but he was more moved.

But he shook his head firmly.

"No, I ate already last night!"

"Save it for the kids!"

The husband and wife looked at each other, their eyes full of reluctance.

The Ming Dynasty wanted to conquer Guangxi, and recruited regiments and civilian husbands from all over Guangdong to join the army. Li Tianguang was selected, and he couldn't escape even if he wanted to.

Of course, when Daming recruited civilian husbands, he gave certain subsidies.

About five silver dollars per person.

Not much, but not too little!
You must know that the income of Chinese farmers in this era from farming may not necessarily be five silver dollars a year.

However, even with a subsidy of five silver dollars, Li Tianguang's mother-in-law did not want her man to serve as a civilian husband in the army.

From Guangdong to Guangxi, there are more than thousands of miles apart!
Not to mention there is still a battle to be fought halfway!

In the cognition of Li Tianguang's mother-in-law, if a civilian husband goes to the battlefield, isn't he going to be dragged to the front line to be cannon fodder?

What is the difference between these five silver dollars and the money he gave to his husband?
Just as the husband and wife were talking softly, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

dong dong!dong dong dong!

Li Tianguang got up and went to open the door.

At the door stood the village head of their village, a retired military officer.

He lost three fingers on his right hand, but his figure is still tall and straight. He learned basic reading and writing in the army, and he read a lot of books after retiring from the army.

There is an extra scroll on his body!
