Since ancient times, China has had a clear understanding of the power of public opinion, and it is really a big fallacy that the power of the modern media originated in the West because of the ignorance and backwardness of the Chinese scholar class.

In fact, Eastern and Western civilizations have known the role of propaganda weapons thousands of years ago, and the tools of public opinion must be concentrated in the hands of rulers, and in the Western Middle Ages, the trend of public opinion was in the hands of the Holy See, while Chinese public opinion has always been concentrated in the hands of Confucian scholars and emperors.

The imperial court has a newspaper, and the people have a Confucian society, and the two sides complement each other to jointly influence the people's thoughts, and any dissidents will be blocked.

That is also nonsense about the Thirty Years' War that swept Europe in 1618, nominally a civil war in the Holy Roman Empire, but in fact the core is Martin Luther's Ninety-Five Theses, which is a new idea that challenges the authority of the Holy See, and in the final analysis, it is still a struggle for the right to interpret Christianity.

Your Holy See says that the Book of Atonement is useful, but Protestantism denies it, saying that faith requires elaborate and complex ecclesiastical rituals, while Protestantism says that faith requires only a pious heart...... Each piece of the pile is in opposition to the Holy See, and the two factions are fighting for the right to interpret God and God.

Then the war broke out, which was the very famous Thirty Years' War in European history, which completely disintegrated the Holy Roman Empire, made the Netherlands a state, turned the German Empire into a loose state, and gave France a big advantage.

Moreover, it also indirectly promoted the rise of European nationalist states, and the theocracy appeared a huge rift and the foundation was loosened.

The ironclad history proves that all civilizations in the world attach great importance to the power of public opinion, and that Europe's freer public opinion environment than China is not innate, but that is the power that millions of people have won after decades of war.

In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there were many academic schools in the Jiangnan region, and all kinds of new ideas emerged in an endless stream, but the Manchu Qing Dynasty came, and there were only two kinds of literati left after the butcher's knife, one is dead, the other is alive, as for the freedom you want, then go to hell to fight for it.

Public opinion was highly concentrated, the literal prison was prevalent, and the thinking of the whole of China was completely ossified.

The reason is also very simple, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty established the country by force, and they knew very well from their hearts that they would definitely lose if they quarreled with the Han people and competed with eloquence, not to mention them, even the old Zhu family, who was also a Han Chinese, was squeezed by the civil officials.

The Manchurians, who were wrapped in the cold wind of Tunguska, didn't want to live so aggrieved, so they chose the simplest and most direct means, violent destruction.

You're talking a lot of nonsense, I'll cut it with a knife. You quote the scriptures, and I will burn your scriptures with fire.

People say that Qianlong's compilation of the Four Libraries is a great achievement, but by taking the opportunity of repairing the Four Libraries, he confiscated how many so-called forbidden books he confiscated, and how many he destroyed? This number is too many to count.

The big boss of Western civilization that imprisons people's minds is the Holy See, which is theocracy, and the big boss that imprisons the minds of Chinese is the emperor and the monarchy.

As a result, the papacy was defeated little by little, providing the soil for the growth of free thought, while the Chinese monarchy became more and more stubborn in the purge and killing.

At the beginning, Xiao Letian was hostile to the imperial court, and when the heavy troops in Tanggu were deadlocked, in fact, the Manchurians didn't care about one or two battlefield defeats, and human life was the most cheap for the imperial court, and they would not frown if they killed tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people.

Jiangnan made trouble with Changmao, and tens of millions of people died, and the court didn't take it seriously, even if there were thousands of people who died, the court just looked at it coldly, maybe they were glad that Changmao helped them reduce their burden.

But when Xiao Lotian sacrificed the newspaper as a big killer of public opinion, the court that had been as stable as Mount Tai went crazy, and they were horrified to find that Xiao Lotian had a weapon that could compete with them for people's hearts, and it turned out that the truth of this world was not only something they could explain, but also Xiao Lotian could explain.

What the foolish people are most afraid of is that their own tricks will be exposed, not to mention that they are still exposed by a great master of Western studies, Xiao Letian has 10,000 ways to expose the deception of the imperial court, and even the idea of the heavenly gift of the monarch may be overturned.

It is precisely because of this that the imperial court secretly reached a secret agreement with Xiao Letian, I acquiesce in your rule over the Tanggu Special Industrial Zone, and also recognize your status as the prime minister of the Ryukyus, but you must not publish heresies such as newspapers and leaflets in the Qing Dynasty.

It just so happened that Xiao Lotian also needed time to accumulate strength, and it was impossible to build a few heavy industrial bases without time for peaceful development, so after the truce between the two sides, newspapers and leaflets quietly disappeared.

But today, when the shameless imperial court actually stole the banknote manufacturing process, and even denied it with a shy face, it made the Ryukyus extremely angry.

It is certainly unrealistic to start a war for a little counterfeit money, but Xiao Lotian must also fight back, and he wants to make the imperial court have a bad year, so the CIA and the prime minister discussed for half a night, and finally decided to use the newspaper to give the Manchus a big slap in the face, and they must know that it hurts.

On the day of Laba, it was a good time for the newspapers to launch an offensive, and the newspapers not only wrote about the dangers of the proliferation of counterfeit money, but also gave the CIA several large gift packages.

The general of Guangzhou Mancheng forcibly robbed the people's women and illegally enclosed land, and thousands of people were displaced...... Shanghai Daotai coveted beauty and assassinated the huge merchants in the south of the Yangtze River...... The Northeast General Wicker Bian slaughtered the village, and a thousand Han people outside the pass were killed, and the scene was tragic......

All the accusations were named and the evidence was conclusive, and even the CIA printed some leaflets at any cost, which used simple cartoon illustrations to vividly introduce the ugly faces of these corrupt officials to the people of Beijing.

Sijiucheng fryer, Gyeonggi land fryer, the whole Zhili fryer...... When Prince Gong summoned the officials of the Ryukyu resident in Beijing and protested angrily, the hob meat diplomat selected by Xiao Lotian said with a smile.

"Lord Qi, this is just an appetizer, now that the new issue of the newspaper has been printed in Shanghai, it will flood the entire Jiangnan within three days...... If the imperial court still does not have the sincerity to negotiate, we do not mind distributing the Daqing Minbao to Korea, Fuso, and Nanyang...... Even Europa!"

With a snap, another set of precious porcelain was smashed and smashed, and the toughness of the Ryukyus made the prince unbelievable, he really didn't expect Xiao Lotian to dare to smash the pot like this.
