Chapter 143: The Time Has Not Come
Li Gou'er's gaze moved down a little more. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
In this newspaper, reviews also take up half of the page. What he had just read was just a beginning, and there was a long passage below:
"Beihu is like a bad neighbor. Although there are times when the two sides get along, they always come to your house from time to time to set a fire and kill someone. If it's really a neighbor, then it's a big deal to move away, and you can't afford to hide; However, the land cannot be moved around, we must face Beihu head-on, there is no other choice.
The tragedy in Linzhou sounded the alarm for everyone. For a long time, only the border people in the north were attacked and harassed by the Beihu people. They live on the border, and once the Hu people go south, they will have to live a life of misery, and may even take their lives.
Linzhou was only attacked by the Beihu people a few decades ago. After a long period of singing and dancing, no one could have imagined that one day the wolf would really come.
It was Linzhou who suffered this time, so what about next time?
After the tragedy, the whole country was shocked. Some people poured their anger on the Beihu people in Da Rui, and in just a few days, there were several cases of beating Beihu merchants in various places.
Let's not take Tureha as an example, just in Linzhou at the moment, there are many Beihu businessmen. They contributed funds and people to participate in the reconstruction of Linzhou, and some of them even adopted orphans who had lost their parents.
Not every Beihu person is a bad person. As long as they do not violate the laws of the Great Rui Dynasty and do not give Beihu a detailed job, they should be treated equally and kindly.
Revenge must be avenged, the soldiers and civilians of Linzhou who were killed are watching us from the sky; But, now is not the time.
Fighting a war requires money, food, and manpower. The court is sympathetic to the people and is reluctant to use war.
Last year, when the Hedong drought occurred, the Beihu people attacked the border precisely because they saw the opportunity, and their intention to take advantage of the danger of others could not be described as sinister, and they could not be given the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and let more Li people suffer.
Today, His Majesty is a wise and heroic lord, and the court is full of people; The good generals in the army everywhere are like clouds, and the soldiers use their lives. On the other day, as long as he gave an order, he would ask the Beihu people to repay the blood debt of Linzhou.
What every ordinary person can do is to do their own thing well and contribute more to the Great Rui Dynasty. Da Rui is already rich all over the world, and if the people of the world work together, he will inevitably become richer and stronger. Only in this way can the tragedy of Linzhou never be repeated!
If you really feel sorry for your compatriots who were killed, then please respect every soldier who did his duty. For the sake of the peace of their home and country, many people are stationed in bitter cold places, and they can be found everywhere along the long border. They threw their heads and spilled their blood, and in the end, they were contemptuously called 'Qiu Ba'......"
The review ended with another paragraph. There is also a small block in the lower right corner of the entire newspaper that reads: "...... The spy who assisted the Beihu people in breaking through Linzhou City has been caught and escorted to the capital. No matter who you are, as long as you have helped a foreign race to kill your compatriots for the sake of the tiger, you must be prepared to be aware of being broken into thousands of pieces. According to the latest news, these two scum will be executed by Ling Chi in three days......"
Li Gou'er slammed his fist on the table and yelled "yes". The table shook violently a few times, and the tea in the cup spilled outside.
It may be that people are used to reading newspapers, and others will be attracted to the pictures, but he only looks at the pictures after reading the whole content.
In the first picture, a mother collapses feebly in the icy snow, looking at the Beihu soldiers with begging eyes. And the soldier smiled evilly, and with a swaddling baby in his raised hands, he seemed ready to throw the infant child to the ground at any moment.
In the second picture, a man in Beihu costume spreads his arms and protects several helpless women like a hen in an eagle catching a chicken. King Kong looked at the Beihu soldiers fearlessly, and his upright body even pressed in the direction of the soldiers, looking extremely oppressive.
In the third picture, several young men in tattered clothes and covered in wounds are fighting with Beihu soldiers. It can be seen that they are all civilians. Someone held a stick at the scimitar of the Beihu, someone blocked the bow and arrow for his companion with flesh and blood, and someone threw the enemy to the ground, opened his mouth and bit his throat.
The figures in the picture are very dynamic and lifelike. Li Gou'er looked at the picture and really felt immersed.
The people around him who were reading the newspaper also began to discuss:
"Who drew these pictures? It's just like this person was in Linzhou at the time. ”
"The picture is beautiful...... The one who made the drawing must have been a skilled master. ”
"The news is accompanied by pictures, and it looks much more comfortable than before! I think the whole article was full of words, dense, like a swarm of ants......"
Li Gou'er didn't care what others said. He dropped a few pennies on the table and walked away with the newspaper quickly, if he could, he really wanted to share the story of the newspaper with his neighbors sooner.
Xiao Jing, who is sitting in Puhua Town, is also receiving news from different channels.
The reader's reaction was not far from what he expected. A few months have passed since the tragedy, and people have forgotten it a little, but the appearance of the mirror newspaper has brought everyone's attention back to Linzhou. After all, ordinary people have heard the details of some events from rumors, and the detailed report in the newspaper has simply opened the door to a new world for them.
Now, people in the streets are talking about what is published in the newspapers. To Xiao Jing's relief, what he was worried about did not appear.
These reports and comments have changed drafts several times, and he also quarreled with Qin Ziqian twice on the way back in order to revise the issue.
In the end, the published manuscript can be called a careful word. Whether it is news reports or comments, they have preserved the face of the imperial court. Not only that, but the commentary also praised the policies of the imperial court and helped the authorities to calm some of the restless populace through detailed explanations. To put it simply, the attitude of the newspaper is the same as that of the imperial court: revenge must be avenged, but you must first accumulate strength and save enough money and food to mobilize troops!
This kind of rhetoric is perfect enough, even if you have a heart, it is difficult to attack the mirror newspaper in the name of "arguing about the government".
The voices of doubt were not absent, but they quickly faded away. To be precise, the person who spoke was drowned out by someone else's spitting stars.
Some people, as always, owe their mouths. Knowing that the reports of the Mirror are true, he still has to say a few words such as "ill-intentioned" and "confusing people's hearts".
As a result, the people around me quit: What's wrong with this report?
I, the Great Rui Dynasty, should there be such a benevolent and righteous person?
What's the matter, do you think that the emperor is not holy, or are the princes in the court dumb and incompetent?
The massacre described in the Mirror is exaggerated, so you sent your family to the Beihu soldiers for entertainment?
The Mirror newspaper never wanted to make a statement, but for those who are irrational and only know how to make trouble without reason, and oppose for the sake of opposition, there is also a weapon called "political correctness" that can be used to make them reap the consequences.
No, it works great!
