Chapter 175: Antecedents and Consequences
In the middle of the sound, Cai Maode clapped his hands heavily, good strategy, first, it can stabilize the people's hearts, and second, if the war starts, it can also unite the people's hearts and swear to defend the city.
It turned out that Chang Yu really wanted them to play to their strengths and spread rumors, which is the so-called public opinion war.
The reason why the thief army can be widely welcomed by the people everywhere it goes is that the public opinion propaganda is done well: "Do not plunder, do not kill, do not levy, do not collect...... Love the people like a son......"
It is precisely because of this that the thief army has gained a large public opinion base, and fans have warmly welcomed them everywhere along the way, so that the officers and soldiers who have no intention of resisting the war will take advantage of the situation to sacrifice the city.
In fact, after Li Zicheng established the country, he has always adopted Li Yan's policy of attacking the heart, and he has indeed done it on the surface, fighting all the way from Xi'an to the city under the capital to almost no offense against ordinary people, but it is a different face for the official gentry.
Among them, only in Ningwuguan because Zhou Yuji was angry, after the city was broken, the whole city was slaughtered, but later generations said that the slaughter of the city was not done by Li Zicheng, but the surrender of the thief army before the Ming army Shanxi general soldier You Shilu, after he was dismissed, he had a grudge with the official gentry in Ningwu after he was dismissed, and then Li Zicheng surrendered Zhou Yuji and was scolded again, so after capturing Ningwu, he took revenge on the bloody slaughter.
However, in fact, You Shilu and his brother You Shiwei were killed in a decisive battle with the thief army in the sixteenth year of Chongzhen (1643).
Since you can boast about yourself and put gold on your face, I dare to tear down your platform and smear you, turning small things into big things, making something out of nothing, so many literati in the city have a pen, it's a pity not to use it.
In fact, this kind of mutual blackening public opinion war also happened in Taiyuan, just when the thief army broke through the Fenzhou Mansion, Cai Maode and Fu Shan joined forces to do a vote, and wantonly smeared how the thief army burned and plundered in the city, and did all kinds of evil, so as to unite the hearts of the people of Taiyuan and work together to defend the city.
It's just that the sky is not as good as the people, and in the end, the city gate was opened by the traitor.
And this time, because of Chang Yu's butterfly effect, the patent right of this method was also replaced by a little eunuch, and Cai Maode Fu Shan was only the executor at this time.
In the middle of the night, Chang Yu left the governor's yamen, and for several days he went deep behind the enemy, and he ran all night without a good rest, which made him tired, and at this time he had no energy to discuss with these literati how to act as a black fan to develop a navy to discredit the blind Li.
He didn't care about these details.
Chang Yu, who left the governor's yamen, did not go back to the city tower of the south gate to rest, and said that he had private affairs to deal with, so the two said goodbye at the yamen.
In front of a small remote courtyard at the northwest foot of the city, Chang Yu stopped at the door, glanced left and right, in the dead of night, no pedestrians.
"Don't worry, this place is extremely hidden, and it is the foothold of the lowly people" Zheng Xingguo smiled slightly, and a Jinyi guard next to him also bowed and said: "It was the Jinyi Guard's secret agent stronghold before."
This is an ordinary courtyard house, and there are several large trees in the courtyard, even if there are no leaves, it looks like it is covering the sky and the sun.
The yin qi is quite heavy, Chang Yu looked up at the dark night sky, and then followed Zheng Xingguo and the others into a side room.
There was a bed in the corner, and there was a man lying on the bed, but his hands and feet were tied, his mouth was stuffed, and his eyes were blindfolded.
Hearing someone come in, the person on the bed sat up, his mouth buzzing incessantly.
Chang Yu made a look, and Qin Xing went over and deducted the thing from the man's mouth.
"Who are you, who are you...... What is the so-called thing to help the old man so far? The man was terrified.
"Who do you think we are?" Chang Yu sneered.
The man was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "You are not from the Yamen, and you can't be from Dongchang or Jinyiwei, because they have no reason to take me, you, you are...... Are you a rebel? ”
"Rebels? Hahaha......" Chang Yu laughed, walked up to the man, and ripped off his masked catty: "Li Zhisheng, let's see who I am?" ”
This person turned out to be Li Zhisheng, who was kidnapped by the thieves and spies in Chang Yu's mouth just now!
Li Zhisheng's eyes took a long time to adapt, and he looked at the more than ten sneering men in front of him, and panicked for a while: "You, you, who are you?" ”
He didn't know Chang Yu.
He was confused! Because it doesn't feel like these people are thieves.
"What would you think if you told you that all of you here are Dongchang and Jinyiwei's people, and Lao Tzu is the governor of Dongchang?" Chang Yu whispered in his ear.
Li Zhisheng suddenly looked frightened, and sighed: "You, you, why are you taking me, what did I do?" ”
"It's a trivial matter, but it's enough to die" Chang Yu sneered, and then glanced at Qin Xing, Qin Xing understood, took out a thin wire and walked to Li Zhisheng's back, wrapped it around his neck, and strangled him hard......
Uh-uh-uh...... Li Zhisheng's eyes widened angrily, his mouth let out a low roar, and he struggled hard, but his hands and feet were tied, and he was soon paralyzed and strangled to death.
"Throw it to Haizi in the west, this account will be counted on the thief" Chang Yu's tone was light, there were three or four Haizi in Taiyuan City against the west city wall, and the thieves slaughtered nearly a thousand Jin kings next to Haizi in history.
Li Zhisheng did not know why he died until he died, and he did not commit any unpardonable sins after only three months in Taiyuan.
He didn't blink an eye
But Chang Yu definitely has a reason to kill.
In history, when the thieves came to the city, the king of Jin took out 3,000 silver (it can be seen that the king of Jin was also a picker in history) and sent it to the city to "recruit warriors to kill thieves", but he was deducted by this Li Zhisheng and used a note to replace the cash silver to engage in the already demoralized soldiers and civilians, which was even more demoralized.
This is the only one, Chang Yu must kill Li Zhisheng, although Li Zhisheng has not done such a disgusting thing at this time, and he may not even have the opportunity to do such a thing, but this kind of disgusting person will always figure out something disgusting that you don't expect, and the ghost knows what kind of moth will come out.
In addition, Chang Yu is a person who must repay flaws, and after crossing over, he is determined to settle accounts with these people one by one, the prince still has the patience to wait until the autumn to settle accounts, but he is happy to revenge, when he kills, he kills, and he can't kill in the capital.
So after he arrived in Taiyuan, he secretly ordered Zheng Xingguo to secretly do this, although he also expected that this would cause a backlash from the literati, but the rebound effect was beyond expectations, and even Cai Maode joined the camp and made such a big move.
Fortunately, he is a Tai Chi master, and he unloaded this strength by pushing it around, and then the dirty water was poured on the thieves and spies, and he just took this opportunity to fight a public opinion propaganda war to discredit the thief army. At this time, those literati were thinking about what to do, and once Ming'er discovered Li Zhisheng's entity, it just added fuel to the fire......
It's just perfect, Chang Yu is a little proud of his masterpiece.
There is no need to ask, he also instructed Wang Zongyou to be beaten violently, and the reason for the beating was just for Cai Maode.
Although Cai Maode is upright and capable, and is a devout Buddhist, but a little pedantic, when the thief army just crossed the Yellow River, he had personally come to the front line to command the deployment, but the Jin Dynasty clan and the gentry in Taiyuan City were frightened when they heard that the thief army was coming, and he hurried back to Taiyuan to defend and defend the nest.
It happened that the officers and soldiers who surrendered to Xiongtong were defeated, and Cai Maode hurriedly returned to Taiyuan, but he had just arrived in Taiyuan on the front foot, and Pingyang Mansion was lost behind.
This was terrible, and the inspectors in the city began to frantically push the responsibility on him, and directly folded the bullet to impeach, and the most energetic of them was Wang Zongyou.
In history, because of Wang Zongyou's impeachment, Cai Maode was deposed, but now because of the arrival of Chang Yu, history has changed a little, although he was impeached, Cai Maode was not removed, but stayed in office to view.
It is said that Cai Maode and his Liang Zi are settled, but the old man Cai is roundabout and thinks that Wang Zongyou is just doing this, so he doesn't care about it.
But Chang Yu's chicken belly, Lao Cai Tou didn't mind, but he wanted to help Lao Cai Tou vent his anger and let Jinyiwei's people secretly beat the goods.
Walking out of the far door, Chang Yu looked up at the sky and took a long breath: "There will be a lot of people who can't sleep tonight, but Lao Tzu is going to sleep now."
