Chapter 673: Storm
After Deng Guangjian had a long talk with Ma Tingluan and Wang Yinglin overnight, the two also understood that they would begin to change their thinking, they had all been in the officialdom, and naturally knew how to save the situation. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info Zhao Yu did not plan to let them leave, but stayed in the palace to accompany him on vacation, cooking wine and talking with them, cooking tea and discussing Taoism, and even going to sea to swim together.
During this period, the tabloids in Fucheng also took turns to report on the deeds of the Northern Army, of course, many of them were exclusively broken by "Qiongtai Information", and the armies also responded to the call of His Majesty the Emperor and actively participated in the patriotic movement, helping the people who suffered from floods to fix the embankments, repair houses and roads, and rush to plant crops. At the same time, medical teams were dispatched to inspect various residential areas and provide voluntary medical treatment.
The combination of these incidents, coupled with the momentum of various newspapers, greatly changed the attitude of the government and the opposition toward the armed forces for a time, and the hostility of the past tended to be relaxed, and the armed forces were no longer regarded as beasts of prey. As the relationship between the military and the people improved, some scholars also began to speak out, praising the change of the royal division, and the imperial court should treat these soldiers who sacrificed their lives to defend the country and further improve their treatment.
At the same time, "Qiongtai Information" also published a large number of interviews with several celebrities in Qiongzhou, including those who support the improvement of military salaries, and those who oppose it. Then the newspaper forwarded a large number of 'letters from the people', all of whom expressed their simple views in plain language, believing that the soldiers who shed blood and sacrificed their lives and shouldered the heavy responsibility of protecting their families and restoring the country, and that their treatment should be improved, rather than being held hostage everywhere.
Under the turbulence of public opinion, some scholars could not sit still, and they realized that if this continued, His Majesty would be able to carry out military reform in a way that conformed to the will of the people. Therefore, he published an article in "Qiongtai Information" on the grounds that the law of the ancestors could not be changed, opposing military reform. Their remarks immediately sparked opposition from some supporters of the military reform, and they also published articles in newspapers to refute them.
"Qiongzhou Information" published the articles of both sides correctly, and also paid them manuscript fees, so the scholars on both sides used it as a battlefield and conducted a fierce debate with the pen as a knife and gun. And "Qiongzhou Information" also opened a column for this purpose, and also "randomly" interviewed people on the street to publish their opinions, they so muddied the waters, so that both sides were high-spirited and wanted to defeat the other.
More and more people are involved, and some celebrities and scholars, and even some officials in the DPRK and China, can't help but join the debate anonymously. However, the "Imperial Daily", which is the mouthpiece of the imperial court, has not spoken out and has been staying outside, but in the internal reference it distributed, some articles and public opinion were recorded, so that officials at the corresponding level could understand this controversy.
"Your Majesty, the controversy in the newspapers has become more and more intense, do you want to intervene?" Ma Tingluan said. These days they get along with the little emperor very happily, the day before yesterday His Majesty invited them to go whale hunting, a few people have never experienced this, so they were gladly invited to the social number, and they also developed the habit of reading the newspaper every day, so as to understand the outside affairs.
"The more reason is discerned, the more it is clear, it doesn't hurt to let them argue!" Zhao Hao smiled. As the initiator of the incident, he naturally grasps the scale and cannot exceed his control, and now it is not yet the time for the final word, and the quarrel can just be cleared and see everyone's point of view.
"Your Majesty, the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of Sichuan, this matter is already boiling, and it should not be neglected, so as not to cause turmoil in the government and the opposition!" Wang Yinglin also persuaded.
"I understand, but there is nothing wrong with everyone discussing this matter openly, if it is concealed, it will arouse suspicion from all parties, and now everyone is arguing openly, and it is better to spread out their respective views on the table to explain clearly and clearly!" Zhao Hao said with a smile.
"Well, Your Majesty has a point. But in the next place, I think that if this leads to the formation and division of the scholars, it will not be a bad step! Ma Tingluan said with some concern.
"If the group is not a party, if they attack each other just because of differences in views and views, and then form a party and oppose each other, will they not lose the style of a gentleman!" Zhao Yu waved his hand.
"Your Majesty, Bo Hou's worries are good, and the courtiers and officials have also been diverted, but I am afraid that the anger of the fight will forget the way of the gentleman and the wind of the scholar!" Wang Yinglin said.
"Hehe, our ship is full of celebrities and many young talents, and everyone can also express their opinions in the newspaper to criticize and adjudicate their excesses, so as not to cause party disputes!" Zhao Hao said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, can we write too?" Shu Yuexiang interjected and asked.
"Why not? The newspaper is a platform for everyone to express their opinions, of course, anyone can write an article to elaborate, of course, if it is for the enemy, it is not possible to subvert the imperial court. And once published, there is still money to be gained! Zhao Hao said with a grin.
"Really?" Shu Yuexiang said with some surprise.
"Of course!" Without waiting for His Majesty to speak, Wang De on the side answered, "The "New Tales of the Three Kingdoms" serialized in this newspaper was written by Your Majesty, and you can receive 20 manuscript fees every month, which is enough for Your Majesty's meals. ”
"This ...... This is written by His Majesty? But the newspaper used the signature Huang Liu! Deng Wenyuan said in surprise.
"Don't be rude, Your Majesty's name and surname are also what you can call directly!" Ma Tingluan snorted coldly.
"I have lost my word, and I ask Your Majesty to atone for your sins!" Deng Wenyuan hurriedly saluted.
"It doesn't matter, if I publish it in the newspaper under my real name, how dare they publish it, but my writing is jerky, I don't know how many people point at and scold me, why don't I care about you alone." Zhao Yu waved his hand.
"Your Majesty is too modest, and the writing is very wonderful and fascinating, but only a thousand words are published every day, which arouses people's appetite and makes people anxious!" Deng Wenyuan shook his head and said.
"Hehe, Mr. Su Lu has an overreputation, it was just a boring work when I was idle in Yashan!" Zhao Hao smiled and said, in fact, this is one of the stories he told the guards in Yashan, which was sorted out by Lin Zhiwu, and this time it was turned out by these boys and published in the newspaper, which really attracted a lot of audiences. Of course, they knew that His Majesty was greedy for money, so the manuscript fee was sent on a monthly basis.
This article is not only a wonderful story, but also designed to strategize, tactics and the way to govern the country with soldiers. At first, I thought it was from the hand of a great Confucian, but I didn't expect it to come from the pen of His Majesty! Wang Yinglin said, but he also had a deeper understanding of the little emperor, and he was even more strange in his heart, how could such a child have such a deep understanding of the world.
"Don't make fun of me, I'm glad not to be scolded. If you don't want to reveal your identity, you can publish it anonymously, just give it to the messenger you come and go! Zhao Yu knew his level, if it weren't for the help of a few subordinates, he would definitely be miserable, so he quickly clenched his fists and diverted the topic.
"Haha, it seems that we have come to Qiongzhou on the right side, if you can't make a living, you can make a living!" Ma Tingluan laughed when he heard this.
"Eh, all of you are talented, how can I be like this!" Zhao Hao smiled.
"Your Majesty, the sentinel ship has searched the surrounding twenty miles of sea and has not seen any whales!" At this time, Zheng Yong came over and said.
"Oh, it's really evil, how can you not meet one!" Zhao Yu frowned.
"Your Majesty, why bother about this, let's just stay at sea for the night and look for it tomorrow!" Ma Tingluan saw that His Majesty was a little unhappy and comforted.
"Yes, the Sheji has a huge hull and a smooth ride, even if there are some winds and waves, it is not afraid. And the moonlight on the sea is intoxicating, I am very nostalgic! Wang Yinglin echoed.
"No, immediately gather all the ships going to sea, and immediately notify the fishing boats and merchant ships encountered along the way to enter the port!" Zhao Yu didn't seem to hear the other people's ramblings, and suddenly raised his hand to interrupt them.
"Yes, Your Majesty. The subordinate immediately ordered all the ships to return! Zheng Yong said without hesitation after hearing this.
"Your Majesty, is something going on?" Deng Guangjian asked anxiously.
"I don't know, but the Storm Bottle also shows that there have been no storms in recent days. However, although we humans are the heads of the hundred spirits, these beasts live in the sea, and are much more sensitive to subtle changes here than humans. And this should be their most active moment, but they disappeared without a trace, and there must be a reason why even these giant beasts of the sea can't avoid it! Zhao Yu said.
"Your Majesty, is it too worried, at this time there are no clouds in the sky and no waves on the sea, what will happen!" Deng Wenyuan and the others also fell in love with His Majesty's imperial boat, and it was rare to have the opportunity to spend the night at sea, and he was reluctant to leave, he looked at the calm sea.
"Hehe, people who often walk on the sea know the truth of sailing a 10,000-year-old ship carefully, don't look at the beautiful scenery at this moment, but there may be a storm in it, but when the storm hits, it will be too late!" Zhao Hao smiled.
"It seems that His Majesty can control the military and politics, it is no accident!" Ma Tingluan twisted his face and whispered to Wang Yinglin and Shu Yuexiang.
"Well, Your Majesty is not only thoughtful, but also able to peek into the subtleties!" Wang Yinglin nodded.
"It seems that we are also going to do something about the Korean war." Shu Yuexiang smiled meaningfully......

"Your Majesty, what should I do?" Zheng Huchen asked again.
"If you don't die, you won't die!" In the early morning of the next day of the return voyage, a storm swept Qiongzhou again, and the small Boao Island was like a flat boat struggling in the ocean, and the doors and windows of the palace were closed, which made Zhao Yu feel extremely bored, but he could not open the doors and windows for ventilation, which made him even more restless, and he paced in the room for a long time before he said in a muffled voice.
"Your Majesty, then your subordinates will immediately order action and sanction them!" Zheng Huchen listened to Shi Lidao.
"Wait a minute, let me think about it!" Zhao Yu pondered for a moment, shook his head, and sat down.
Things have to start from the battle of the north, due to the successive defeats of the Yuan army, the troops were severely damaged and difficult to resist, and the heroes in various coastal areas rose up to resist the Meng Yuan. Among them, there are three larger groups of Toutuo army led by Fujian Zheng and Huang Hua, the She army led by Chen Hangyan in Yunxiao, Fujian and the She Han coalition army led by Mrs. Xu in northern Fujian.
For Chen Hangyan, the old ministers of the Xing Dynasty are no strangers. He is a native of Nanshan, Yunxiao, Fujian, formerly known as Chen Daju, who likes to practice martial arts since he was a child, and his father Wengui, Shu Guilong, and Man'an cultivate in Dutang Hongxiban. In the first year of Jingyan, the Yuan soldiers attacked Fujian, Jiangxi, and Guangdong, and fled southward. In the following year, the Yuan soldiers entered Fujian, and Wen Tianxiang ran to Tingzhou and Zhangzhou to organize resistance, and called on the world's heroes to raise troops to fight against the Yuan soldiers. He was about to lead the righteous teacher to help, and Wen Tianxiang had already traveled from Meizhou, Guangdong to Jiangxi.
In the third year of Jingyan, Quanzhou recruited Pu Shou Geng to dedicate the city to the Yuan, Chen Hangyan was furious, he followed his father Chen Wengui and his uncle Chen Guilong and other righteous teachers to unite with Mrs. Xu to support Zhang Shijie to defeat Pu Shou Geng, occupy Jianning, Zhenghe, Shaowu and other places, and then withdrew from the siege due to the reinforcements of the Yuan soldiers. In February of the second year of Xiangxing, after the battle of Yashan, he led the righteous army of 50,000 to break through Zhangzhou, killed Yuan to recruit Fu Quan, Wanhu Mansion Que Wenxing, occupied Gao'an Village, opened a warehouse and scattered the valley, and relieved the people.
The Yuan court sent generals to instigate the capital to fight back, and Chen Hangyan withdrew from Zhangzhou and returned to his hometown to build a village in the mountains to defend it. In order to strengthen unity and strength, the counties of Zhangzhou and the border of Fujian and Guangdong live together with She and Han, and in order to strengthen their strength, they put forward the slogan of "the poor suffer together, and the She and Han families are close". His sister Chen Jiaohua also issued a bold statement of "women kill the enemy men", calling on the masses to actively participate in the rebel army. For a time, the She Han peasants, regardless of gender, responded one after another, and the power of the rebel army developed rapidly.
The Yuan general Adaha asked for the transfer of troops to suppress it, but Kublai Khan did not agree because the manpower and material resources used were too great. The rebel army was able to grow rapidly, and Chen Hangyan sent people to contact the She Han peasant rebel army in western Fujian led by Mrs. Xu. The two armies converged, and the military power was greatly shaken, and the forces spread all over the Zhang, Ting, and Chao areas, numbering 100,000 people, and the company camped for hundreds of miles. Wherever the rebels went, they severely punished corrupt officials, killed brutal people, and opened warehouses and divided grains, which won the support of the people.
For such a righteous army that has a lot of roots with the imperial court, of course Zhao Yu wanted to collect it for his own use, but after the dynasty moved to Qiong, he was busy rectifying the government and training the army, and at the same time led the army to attack Quanzhou.
However, Chen Hangyan was not idle, taking advantage of the fact that the enemy troops in Fujian and Guangzhou were transferred away, he contacted the rebel troops in various places under the banner of 'Fu Song Dynasty', so that the team was able to grow and control western and southern Fujian. Huanghua in northern Fujian also rebelled against the Yuan, echoing each other and shaking the rule of the Yuan court in Fujian. I don't know if with the growth of strength, or consciously fledgling, he actually became the king of self-reliance, known as the founding king of Zhenmin, changed the Yuan Changtai, and founded the country by himself.
For the rebels who were active around them, the bureau naturally would not relax its vigilance, and as early as a year ago, it infiltrated it, and immediately returned to Qiongzhou after receiving the news that Chen Hangyan had established himself as king. And this matter is so big, Zheng Huchen did not dare to slack off, and immediately came to report to the emperor in person. Zhao Yu was also very distressed when he learned about it, he was the orthodox of the Great Song Dynasty, and if he wanted to be the king, he must also get his own seal and give him a seal, otherwise he would be a rebel of the Great Song Dynasty. But he also knew that if he sent troops to recruit and suppress, it would be equivalent to weakening the anti-Yuan force, and if he ignored it, it would be difficult to control it, making people think that the Great Song Dynasty was really dead......
