Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 449 Mobilizing the People
Kou Baimen didn't expect that Zhu Youjian would bring someone in suddenly, so he hid instinctively behind Li Xiangjun, his cheeks to the roots of his ears were red like spring peaches, he fiddled with his fingers, and walked forward a little awkwardly, wanting to give Zhu You Jian saluted, thinking of saying by the way: "Your Majesty, you are here too."

However, when the words came to his lips, Kou Baimen just smiled. After opening his white teeth, he didn't know how to close them again, and he insisted on not uttering a word.

"Doctor Kou is here?"

Zhu Youjian only nodded slightly and asked with a smile, then walked to the first place where the picture of pine smoke was hung in the main hall and sat down.

"Here, this, I'm just here to take a look."

When Kou Baimen was stammering, he saw that Zhu Youjian was no longer in front of his eyes, and then he realized that His Majesty the Emperor had already walked past him.

Seeing that Li Xiangjun was only focused on making tea for Zhu Youjian and didn't notice her gaffe just now, she was relieved, but she didn't know what to do at this time, either walking or sitting.

Zhu Youjian didn't notice Kou Baimen, who was staring at him, turned Erlang's legs up, and asked Li Xiangjun to call Liu Jingting, Chen Hongshou, Liu Rushi, Bian Yujing and others.

At that time, Ma Jixiang, the commander of the Central Command of the East Factory, came.

And Liu Jingting, Chen Hongshou, Liu Rushi, Bian Yujing and others also came.

Only then did Zhu Youjian put down Erlang's legs, leaned forward slightly, and put his elbows on the chair support with his fingers crossed:
"You are all important pawns that I have arranged for the newspapers and periodicals over the years. You are well-versed in literature and ink, understand things, and your knowledge and insight are not inferior to those of the scholars. But fortunately, you are all from the rivers and lakes, and you have no clan burdens, just like Jinyiwei and Dongchang. It is also my own person, and it is my mouthpiece."

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian's so-called Jianghu people here are naturally not the martial arts people in martial arts novels, but taken from another meaning of Jianghu people.

That is to say, people who have no clan control and detach themselves from the four categories of scholars, farmers, businessmen, etc. Among these people, there are actors, prostitutes, painters, and onmyojis who are not the mainstream of society.

In this era, most good people, the so-called good families, have their own clans and are controlled by their own clans, whether they are scholars, farmers, or craftsmen and merchants.

But Jianghu people are naturally relatively free and have no so-called clan interest class interests.

Jianghu people generally have low social status, but they all have a relatively high level of education. After all, most of them live by entertaining the rulers, and the rulers of the Ming Dynasty are mainly literati, so these Jianghu people naturally have a high level of education. cultural attainments.

This is also the reason why Zhu Youjian used these people as his mouthpiece. In this era, many intellectuals are controlled by the clan gentry, and only these cultural people in the arena have no clan background to use for themselves.

Li Xiangjun and others were naturally very happy because Zhu Youjian valued them so much instead of treating them as playthings for fun.

"You all run several newspapers now, and your sensitivity to inquire about news is no less than that of Jinyiwei and Dongchang. Now I don't talk nonsense, and you should all know that many ministers in the court are very lazy now. Laziness is gone. Enterprising, without fighting spirit, thinking that the Manchus were beaten to sue for peace, I thought the world was peaceful, and I wanted to get busy with promotion and get rich to live a good life."

As Zhu Youjian spoke, he suddenly became serious: "I reformed the money law, developed production, risked offending the interests of the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River, and raised business taxes. I even made peace with the Zheng pirate group and named him Lord Zheng Zhilong. The ministers of the DPRK and China are living a good life in peace and stability!"

"You are my mouthpiece and the people's mouthpiece, so now I need you to replace me and the people to urge these officials!"

As Zhu Youjian spoke, he raised three fingers: "I offer three instructions:

One is to put up big-character posters and banners throughout the city, so that all the people in Nanjing know the call to recover the northern capital and unify the world;

The second is to organize open-air speeches again, telling the people in the north to tell about the atrocities of the Manchus. They can go to factories in various places to find prisoners who were forcibly recruited by the Manchus, and tell them that the more miserable they complain, the harder they scold the Manchus. As long as the people are moved, forgiveness;

The third is to mobilize school students, factory workers, and ordinary people to demonstrate, focusing on the Ministry of Households, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of War, as well as my Huangji Gate;

Let the civil servants all over the world see what all the people of Ming Dynasty are thinking when they are thinking about living in peace! "

After Zhu Youjian said it, he explained in detail to these Jianghu people on the Daming Media front how to mobilize the emotions of the people at the bottom, how to mobilize the people, how to organize parades and so on.

Next, Li Xiangjun, Liu Jingting and others began to take active actions. Because of the support of the emperor Zhu Youjian, none of them had any scruples.

Kou Baimen also participated in it and actively helped Li Xiangjun and others.

……

At this time, the final decision of the cabinet was also known to Zhu Youjian through Dongchang Bei.

"Sure enough, as I expected, the officials from the North and the South are unbalanced. Otherwise, why would it be like this?"

Zhu Youjian did not expect that one day he would let a civil servant group dominated by southern officials appear in the court.

This is not only related to the fact that a large number of reliable civil servants acted as the real power governor in the theater, but also related to the fact that southern officials are indeed the main group of the imperial civil servants.

The reason why southern officials occupy the main group of civil servants is that most of the scholars in the Ming Dynasty were from the south, especially from the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhu Youjian originally wanted to avoid it, but he didn't expect that in the end it would not change the inequality between the north and the south in the officialdom.

The current Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian is most worried about hoping that the civil servants in the south will kidnap public opinion again in an attempt to persuade himself, the emperor, to agree to a peace negotiation. Therefore, he thought of using his knowledge of the newly emerging media industry in Ming Dynasty to guide public opinion and even mobilize it. The real public opinion will directly attack these civil servants, and come to a pre-emptive strike.

Zhu Youjian stayed with Li Xiangjun for one night, and even accompanied Bian Yujing once. He left the Guangming Daily newspaper office the next day and went to the Daming Armory.

At this time, big-character posters and banners began to appear in Nanjing City. All the city gates and memorial archways in Nanjing City were hung with words such as "If the Tartars were not expelled from the North Desert, the peace talks will be like national thieves", "Shangshu Wang Siren of the Ministry of Rites is shameless." , In vain disregarding the hatred of the country and the family, entertaining barbarians and lackeys", "Four elders with cartilage, three ministers without courage" and other banners and big-character posters.

It can be said that the pen is sharp and pointed at the cabinet ministers Gao Hongtu, Liu Wanchun, Hua Yuncheng, Wang Siren and others.

The Guanghua Daily also began to directly disclose the details of the cabinet's resolutions, explaining word by word how these cabinet ministers betrayed the country and how they fornicated, causing public opinion in the entire city of Nanjing to stir up an uproar.
