Chapter 67: A Few Families Rejoice and a Few Families Grieve
After recovering Chongqing, Zhu Youlang has been thinking about how to spread the news as soon as possible. After all, in the feudal era, people passed on their messages by word of mouth. And for the Southern Ming court, the recovery of Chongqing was an excellent propaganda point, and it was impossible not to publicize it.
After thinking about it, Zhu Youlang felt that running a newspaper was a good choice. In fact, the Ming Dynasty already had the prototype of a newspaper, which was Di Bao.
However, Di Bao is mainly used by officials to see, the channels of dissemination are limited, and the content is relatively fixed, which is basically a national event. In order for as many people as possible to know about such news, it is necessary to run a universal newspaper.
The cost of running a newspaper itself is not high, it is nothing more than the cost of printing. The movable type printing technology of the Ming Dynasty was already very developed, and it was completely able to complete this task very well. As long as it is controlled, the cost can be reduced to a very low level.
The only problem is that the cultural popularity rate of this era is not high, and the literacy rate is even lower and frighteningly low. In this case, even if the newspaper is launched, it may face a situation where many people cannot read it.
However, the road is a step-by-step path, and you can't stop doing it because you're afraid of these problems.
Zhu Youlang still thinks that the newspaper should be run first, and then one step at a time.
It is simply not possible to carry out another round of literacy campaigns.
It is not necessary to follow the standards of the imperial examination, it is enough to let the people know the most basic words.
This matter Zhu Youlang is going to hand over to Wang Henian to do.
First, he wanted to test Wang Henian's ability to do things, and second, Wang Henian also knew more about Chongqing.
In addition, it is to reassure the people and restore production.
Do this Wen Anzhi is the best at it.
In terms of internal affairs ability, Wen Anzhi is not more than Zhuge Kongming.
He did things, and Zhu Youlang couldn't be more relieved.
Zhu Youlang is now a little glad to have Wen Anzhi by his side.
Of course, the recovery of Chongqing is only the first step in the recovery of the Ming Dynasty, and there is still a long way to go. However, Zhu Youlang believes that as long as the monarch and the ministers work together, they will always see that day.
…
…
and so on for the news to reach Beijing. Emperor Shunzhi was angry and thunderous.
Chongqing is lost like this?
These wine bags and rice bags are simply disregard for the grace of God.
How did they keep their promises? Chongqing is impregnable, and there will be no loss!
It's still a lingering sound, it's so ironic!
Li Guoying, Wu Sangui, and Hong Chengchou can't run away.
Why don't you stand still?
Don't say any treacherous nonsense about the Ming army, you haven't even figured out the movements of the Ming army, and let the Ming army slip away from under your nose, this is a serious dereliction of duty!
What is the difference between this and Yuan Chonghuan letting the Qing army fight in Beijing under his nose?
Fortunately, the Ming army fought Chongqing this time......
But the nature of the matter is the same, and we have to take it as a warning!
If he had a violent temper, he could have ordered all these minions to be cut down. Anyway, there is no difference between killing these minions and killing dogs.
But when you calm down and think about it, these minions are still somewhat useful.
After all, the Central Plains is too big, and the number of the Eight Banners of Manchuria is limited, so you can't rely on the Eight Banners everywhere to defend it.
Moreover, the combat effectiveness of the Manchurian Eight Banners is also much weaker now.
Thinking about the period of Taizu and Taizong, the Eight Banners Army was invincible, and the Ming army was full of urine.
At that time, how did you think of opening the Han people and the green camp?
Thinking of this, Emperor Shunzhi was even more angry. Why was Taizu Taizong a good horse race. When I get here, things go bad?
The flower world of the Central Plains is still unsettling.
But there is good news.
News came from the south that Zheng Chenggong's invasion had been successfully repulsed, and Nanjing was already worry-free.
Emperor Shunzhi really couldn't understand how a mere Zheng Chenggong dared to drive straight into Nanjing.
Who gave him courage?
It's really a lack of people's hearts.
Nine out of ten in the world are in the hands of the Qing Dynasty. What does it matter if the small court of the remnant Ming Dynasty wins one or two victories? The Qing Dynasty can consume him alive.
Thinking of this, Emperor Shunzhi's mood was slightly better. The overall situation is still good.
He prepared the next decree to Hong Chengchou, so that he could prepare for the recovery of Chongqing.
……
……
In Guizhou, Wu Sangui almost immediately got the news that Chongqing had been conquered.
The news was neither good nor bad for him.
From the moment the old man withheld his salary. Wu Sangui didn't want to do his best to work for the Qing Dynasty.
Is it really stupid to be Lao Tzu?
Is there still a lot of time in history when the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey is cooked, and the donkey is killed by unloading the mill?
Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is what he really thinks at this moment.
The Ming Dynasty was pro-Ming, and the Qing Dynasty was pro-Qing.
Isn't he fragrant to be a wall-riding party?
These tens of thousands of soldiers are his capital.
As a last resort, Wu Sangui didn't plan to use it.
Before Hong Chengchou urged him to send troops to quell the rebellion of Guizhou Tusi several times, Wu Sangui responded with his words, and in fact, he could delay it.
If nothing happens this time, Hong Chengchou will definitely look for him.
But Wu Sangui has already made up his mind. Even the old man said that Wu Sangui would not send troops if he broke the sky.
It is impossible to send troops, and it is impossible to send troops in this life.
can only rely on supporting troops and self-respect.
Unless there is a low-hanging fruit to grab, Wu Sangui will not pay attention to Hong Chengchou's order at all.
What if you are nominally controlled, Lao Tzu is against you!
Expect Lao Tzu to help you pick up ready-made peaches? Wish for the moon!
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the old man wants to praise his student.
What's it called? That's right, Zhao Liangdong!
A mere junior dared to pretend in front of Lao Tzu and dictate.
When Lao Tzu led the troops to fight, you still wore open crotch pants!
Want to fight Chongqing? Okay, go fight yourself!
Don't you have 100,000 soldiers under your old horseman? Aren't there a few strong generals? Go and instruct them, anyway, Lao Tzu is listening to the seal and not listening to the tune!
……
……
"Qingzhi, Chongqing has fallen!"
Hong Chengchou sighed, and his heart was very painful.
He was in the middle of the Ming army's transfer of the tiger to leave the mountain.
On the surface, the Ming army wanted to cooperate with Guizhou Tusi to make a big move, and the performance was so realistic that even Hong Chengchou believed it.
Secretly, the Ming army marched to Sichuan, and finally joined the Sichuan army to attack Chongqing.
It's amazing how much the world has shifted.
Hong Chengchou can imagine the emperor's anger after getting the news.
The emperor must blame them for not trying their best to rescue, right?
But in fact, Chongqing had already fallen when Hong Chengchou got the news!
I have to say that this time he miscalculated.
"It's all Wu Sangui's refusal to fight, and our attention is focused on him, otherwise we wouldn't have learned the true intentions of the Ming army so late!"
Zhao Liangdong said resentfully.
