I'm a big dick

Chapter 364 Guiding public opinion and preparing for the prisoner ceremony
Among the people, the "Da Ming Forum" gradually replaced the role of the imperial palace newspaper.The above content is more detailed, and the policy direction of the emperor and the court is described more clearly.

In the past month or so, newspapers have been serializing the whole story of the Liaodong War.Since Hou Jin rebelled against the Ming Dynasty, it has already been said that Xiong Tingbi resigned for the first time due to party disputes and was replaced by civil servant Yuan Yingtai.

Although this has already happened, the dispute in the court and the real reason for Xiong Tingbi's resignation are not clearly understood by many people.

Through such a clear description of the whole story, the evil consequences of party struggles, and the faces of officials of various factions who disregard the overall situation and only care about power and profit, it can be said to be fully exposed.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is another merciless exposure and whipping by the emperor, which can be seen in his hatred of party struggles that harm the country and selfish officials.

At the same time, this is also the reason the emperor found for dismissing a large number of officials, and it occupies a moral high point.

Although the serialization is still going on, but combined with the fiasco in Liaoshen and the crisis in Guangning, and looking at the current situation in Liaodong, many people also guessed that this is the emperor's attempt to prove the correctness and wisdom of his plan.

Facts speak louder than words. In the past two years, the Ming army has reversed its decline, and there have been frequent reports of great and small victories, which is indeed a strong proof.

And more powerful proofs continued to come in, once again set off an atmosphere of joy in the capital, and soon spread among the people in a more popular way.

Snapped!As soon as the sounding wood was knocked, in the restaurant of the teahouse, the storyteller told the heroic deeds of a thousand and eight warriors who fought bloody battles against tens of thousands of slaves.

The story was a little thin at the beginning, but soon became rich and detailed under the processing of Liu Mazi, Zhao Tiezui and others, and gradually reached the level of "breathtaking" and "bloody".

This form of propaganda is actually easier for the common people to accept than newspapers. After all, it is both refined and popular, and there are very few literate common people.

It is also Zhu Youxiao's experiment to conduct public opinion propaganda among the people through the storyteller's mouth.If the effect is good, other art forms will also be adopted.

Dang it, Dang it!Don't gossip about the old days, just show Wu Erlang, a hero who fights tigers; whoever said that three bowls are not enough, and liquor and beer will wipe everything away...

Yes, Zhu Youxiao still finds the one with the small bamboo board making gestures and the vernacular, full of Shandong accent, very interesting, I don't know if there is one now.

In any case, the art forms that the common people love can actually carry out public opinion propaganda, but the popularity and popularity are different.

Many people don't understand the reason why the emperor did this, including Ni Wenhuan, the imperial pen holder for the specific implementation.

The sages have said: the people can make it known but not know it.What's the use of promoting to ordinary people who don't know big characters?If there are newspapers, just show them to readers.

In fact, this is the same as the emperor's decree to impose conditions on the preferential treatment of students. Many people do not understand that teaching is free.

Popularizing education, improving the overall quality of the people, these lofty terms, obviously Zhu Youxiao didn't want to say it, and not many people could understand it.

Since ancient times, education has been a matter for a few people.Ordinary people, knowing how to write their own names is very powerful, let alone reading books and newspapers?
But understanding the notices to know the country's policies and laws, and understanding the documents to not be deceived are exactly Zhu Youxiao's basic requirements for the education of the people.

Of course, this is not a goal that can be achieved overnight, but it does not prevent Zhu Youxiao from making arrangements now and taking the first step.

Let’s go back to the public opinion propaganda among the people, which is easy to understand and popular, just like the art troupe in the army of later generations, and the big opera in the countryside, with a wider audience and stronger guidance.

Ordinary people are the easiest to be fooled, they are uneducated, can they not be guided?Isn't the social status of soldiers low? It's not enough for the emperor or the court to work hard. The traditional public opinion of the people is also very important.

During the Battle of Guangning, Liu Yiguan of Xipingbao and other heroes were favored by the emperor and publicized in the newspapers; now, with this great victory, not only the newspapers, but also word of mouth among the people , the effect is better.

And the bravery of the [-] warriors has just set off a storm. The news of the crusade against Horqin, Houjin's ally, the annihilation of the five thousand Jiannu and the capture of Houjin's Er Bel Amin, has spread throughout the capital one after another, causing even more shocking news. Big hit.

Although there have been victories from time to time in the past two years, the recovery of Fort Lushun, the recovery of Jinzhou, and now even the recovery of Guangning and Southern Liaoning, it is still the first time that such a large number of slaves have been wiped out and such a high-level enemy general has been captured alive. .

"What kind of official is Baylor?" Someone asked ignorantly, which immediately drew other people's eyes.

"The old slave calls himself King Khan, and the highest rank of his nephew is Baylor." Someone showed disdain, explaining or calling it a show, "It is equivalent to a prince, there are only four Baylors in total, this Amin is an old slave nephew."

Oh, oh, the inquirer suddenly realized something, scratched his head and said, "Remember, the thousand-eight warriors fighting Jiannu were fighting with some soldiers led by Dabeile Daishan?"

"Da Beile Daishan is the son of an old slave. He used to be equivalent to a prince, but because of his soft ears, he listened to his concubine's words, abused his own son, and was deposed as a prince..."

Knowing about Jiannu in such detail is due to the role of the newspaper, the role of the storyteller, and the role of Zhu Youxiao's promotion.

Just like the period when the storytelling "Shuo Yue Quan Zhuan" was most popular, the common people, no matter how illiterate, knew the general outline of the story.Know the villains Jin Wushu, Jin Danzi, and Hamichi, and the heroes Yue Fei, Yue Yun, and Niu Gao!

It was one of Zhu Youxiao's goals that the common people knew about the situation of building slaves, and knew the names of the Ming army who fought bravely. Coupled with the rewards and incentives from the court, it was one of Zhu Youxiao's goals to form an atmosphere of caring about wars and respecting soldiers.

"No more detailed battle report?" In the palace, Zhu Youxiao was not very satisfied.

Of course Zhu Youxiao knew that a more detailed report was still on the way, and this was just the briefing that was delivered first.

Because this is a very strict rule, regardless of the size of the battle, regardless of victory or defeat, there must be a detailed report.The Ministry of War keeps files, and martial arts keeps files, and conducts analysis and research, and then distributes them to various ministries.

Learning war in war is not empty talk.Every bloodshed and sacrifice counts.

It is precisely because of such a mechanism that the ministries of the Ming army can absorb the experience and lessons of the friendly army, constantly adjust and make continuous progress.

For example, the Battle of Guangning exposed the weakness of Jiannu's attack.If the internal traitors are ruled out and the attack is replaced by defense, it is the correct choice for the Ming army at a low ebb.

Another example is the defensive counterattack of Fort Lushun, which provided a good reference for other Ming armies.It also proves that the parapet plus trench can effectively provide protection and effectively kill the enemy.

It is precisely because of this continuous analysis and summary that tactical play can be improved without having to personally experience and taste the taste of victory or defeat, and without wasting the lives of soldiers.

Therefore, while Zhu Youxiao was excited, he also wanted to know the details of the battle.

It is not an exaggeration for the cavalry to defeat the Jiannu cavalry, which is famous for its riding and archery, in a field battle. Although it is a bit of a mouthful, it is not an exaggeration to call it a milestone.

Whether it was the cavalry wall that played a big role, or other tactics to win, Zhu Youxiao was eager to know the answer.

After autumn, a large number of cavalry from the Beijing camp will set off to western Liaoning.If useful information can be obtained from this battle, it will be crucial for the next stage of operations.

Seeing that the emperor seemed displeased, Wang Tiqian hurriedly said with a smile on his face, "Your Majesty, is this captive presenting ceremony more grand? Erbeile, who was a slave, it is not easy to take captives."

Being distracted by Wang Tigan, Zhu Youxiao also felt that he had messed up.Thinking about presenting the prisoner, I feel that I have to perform well this time, and the feeling of being in front of the people is not something I often have.

The last time I presented the prisoner gift, I was in a bad mood because of Xu Hongru, a bastard.This time, while making amends, it also allows the world to see the emperor's authority and eliminates more possible obstacles.

It is not uncommon for the emperor to gain prestige and authority.Only when the imperial power is strong can the civil official group be suppressed, and only then can he go further and faster.

Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while, then nodded and said: "It's good to boost the morale of the people, but I'll make an order to send some heroes to Beijing, and the effect should be better."

The hero is ready-made, and it is still on the air, and it is the survivor among the eighteen hundred warriors.

Zhu Youxiao is already preparing to use them as the backbone to form the strongest hybrid association, and will name it "Ranshi", which means standing still.

Frontier troops entering Beijing?Wang Tigan froze for a moment, and immediately thought of the key word "hero".Understood, the heroes we are talking about outside, I heard that there are only a few hundred left.

Naturalized cavalry can make such a great achievement, and they should also be given names and flags.The emperor stroked his chin and began to think about rewards for meritorious deeds.

There are also the Liaonan Sanxie who repelled Daishan with infantry, and other meritorious officers and soldiers from various ministries. Even if they don't give names and flags, they can't be stingy in rewarding silver and medals.

"It is said that Dong Qichang will enter the palace for an audience." The emperor raised his head and issued a somewhat abrupt decree.

Wang Tiqian hurriedly sent someone to do it, but he didn't know why the emperor suddenly thought of Mr. Dong from the prisoner offering ceremony.

Nonsense, Master Dong is here to design a logo and banner, and the emperor himself?It's okay to be a carpenter, but Zhu Youxiao doesn't think it's his profession to be an artist.

........................

Some people are happy and some are sad. In such a big world, with so many people, it's nothing more than normal.

Zhu Youxiao in the palace only saw the annihilation of the Jiannu cavalry and the capture of the big fish Amin, but he did not pay attention to the Horqin prisoners of war who were being escorted to the capital.

But some people are thinking about their parents and brothers, worrying about the safety of their relatives.

The carriage was rattling forward, bumped over a pothole, and Hai Lanzhu, who was frowning in thought, raised her head and stared blankly at the scenery along the road.

In terms of scenery, it can only be described as desolate.Although Guangning has been restored, the people will not be resettled for the time being, and it belongs to the territory controlled by the military.

There are two advantages to doing this. One is to prevent the people from being tormented by the war. What if Jiannu or Mongols sneak in?The second is to help the secrecy of military operations, which is the same as the original relocation of Liao people.

Although the Liao people could escape across the Liaohe River, and the Mongolian tribes were also handing over the Han people, they were only passing through the Guangning area, either to resettle in Jinzhou and Ningyuan, or to find relatives and friends in the interior.

To put it bluntly, getting in is easy and getting out is hard.Except for the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in charge of the horse market, no Han people will leave the customs.After the Jin or Mongolian ministries sent spies, it was difficult to sneak out.

This trick worked very well. Hou Jin could not get timely and accurate information, so he could only bring out limited information from the gap deliberately left by the Zhenfu Division.I can also imagine what kind of mistakes in judgment I will make when I often read fake newspapers.

For example, Nurhachi believed that the Ming court dispatched elites from the nine sides to western Liaoning for reinforcements, so he could only gather heavy troops in Liaoshen, and the troops in other places were naturally insufficient.

The destination of Hai Lanzhu and the others was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, because that was the end point of offering captives.No way, no matter how impatient they were, they had to follow the arrangements of the officials and the Ming army. It was impossible to catch up with their relatives on the road.

I have changed into Han clothes, although they are coarse cloth, but they are much cooler, although this cannot dispel the sorrow and anxiety in my heart.

"I heard they said it was going to the seaside by boat." Bumbutai just took a nap, sat up rubbing his sleepy eyes, and asked Darhan, "What does the sea look like? Is it bigger than the Chuoer River?"

Before Darhan could speak, the soldiers of the Ming army who were driving ahead laughed and said, "Little girl, I have stayed with the Mongols for too long, so I only know about the Chuoer River. If you compare it with the sea, it is just a small puddle and river." Great Lakes Difference."

Bumbutai consciously made a slip of the tongue and entered the Ming Realm, so he should speak less.

"You are going to the mainland. You have to take a boat to Jinzhou Port first, and then change to a sea boat to go ashore in Tianjin." The soldier of the Ming army introduced in detail: "If you have never been on a sea boat, be careful of seasickness!"

Darhan hurriedly asked with a smile on his face: "Dare to ask the military master, is there a way to prevent it?"

The soldiers of the Ming Army smiled and said, "The method is simple, but it doesn't work for everyone. Take a piece of ginger..."

Hai Lanzhu sighed in her heart, no matter how difficult it was, she could only go forward, there was no turning back.The day before yesterday a large group of cavalry passed by, escorting Houjin's captives.I heard that there is a Baylor in it, but it is a very big official!

Fortunately, Jin didn't go to find his aunt later, otherwise he would collide with the Ming army, and if he couldn't escape...

The sound of horseshoes sounded from behind, and Bumbutai quietly pulled off the sleeves of Aunt Sister, motioning her to look behind.

Several warriors in Mongolian costumes, accompanied by more than a dozen Ming cavalrymen, galloped over on horseback, but it was Nuke, the son of Ang An, the leader of the Zalut tribe.

This young man was invited to the capital to have an audience with the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. All the five tribes of Neikalkha were invited to the capital.

Zhu Youxiao has already set his mind on the younger generation of the Mongolian tribes, letting them see the richness of the Ming Dynasty and accept the influence of the Ming Dynasty culture.

This method is not new. The Ming Dynasty built schools for the children of chieftains and recruited them to study. In fact, it was the same idea.

Mongol?
When Hai Lanzhu and Bumbutai saw the familiar clothes, they stared at them unconsciously, wondering who this Mongolian who could carry weapons and was accompanied by the Ming army was?
Nuke realized that the two eyes were staring at him, and turned to look with a slight frown.When he saw the two women, he froze for a moment, but when he saw the women's faces, he couldn't turn his eyes away.
