At noon on that day, a group of Jinyi guards received the Daming Daily that had just been printed today, with 100 copies per person, and two people distributed them in groups throughout Nanjing, and some of them quickly distributed them to dozens of counties around Nanjing.

Zhu Cihong of the first issue of Daming Daily only ordered the printing of 10,000 copies, which were temporarily only published in Nanjing City and dozens of counties and towns within a radius of 200 miles.

"Daming Daily! Would you like to take a look? "On Liushi Street in the south of Nanjing, two Jinyi guards each held a dozen Daming Daily and pulled the passers-by to distribute them one by one, but the passers-by saw that Jinyiwei was not afraid to avoid it, even if they were pulled up, they were crying one by one, how could they have the heart to take the newspaper, and the Daming Daily in the hands of the two Jinyi guards did not distribute a third of it after half an hour.

The two brocade guards looked at each other in distress.

"Brother Du, when do you say that we will be able to distribute this Daming Daily?" One of the brocade guards said to the other.

Another brocade guard looked at the dozens of copies of Daming Daily that were still left in his hand, and sighed helplessly, how did he know when it would be finished, the people didn't dare to approach them at all, even if it had been distributed, it was forcibly stuffed by them after they grabbed it.

The two Jinyi guards were directly transferred from the Beijing camp to be Jinyiwei, and for the first time, they really felt how bad the reputation of Jinyiwei was in the hearts of the people, and they suffered from unjustified disasters.

"Brother Du, you see there are only the two of us here, or let's find a place where there is no one, directly" The brocade guard didn't continue, but the meaning was obvious, that is, he threw the Daming Daily in his hand directly to find a place that few people couldn't see.

The Jinyi Wei surnamed Du was suddenly startled, and his hairs stood up: "You want to kill Lao Tzu, there is a strict order above, each Daming Daily can only be distributed to one people, and it must be distributed completely without leakage, and you have not seen the punishment of the guard, if you want to die, go to the wall yourself, don't drag Lao Tzu into the water." ”

Jin Yiwei has the duty of supervising the officials of the world, and most of the Jin Yiwei are directly transferred from the Beijing camp, in order to avoid someone daring to play favoritism, Jin Yiwei's internal punishment is extremely severe, once someone dares to commit a crime, and is convicted by the special examination department of Jin Yiwei, the punishment can almost make him worse than death, and the deterrent effect is great.

The brocade guard smiled embarrassedly, remembering that the punishment introduced by Wei Qian also shrunk his neck, and he didn't dare to mention this kind of thing, but then he thought about it and thought of another way.

"Brother Du, it's not a way to go on like this, brother thought of a way again, since the people passing by don't dare to approach us, we will send it to the shops on both sides, and if the monks can't run the temple, I don't believe they dare to avoid it."

"Well, it works!" The brocade guard surnamed Du nodded approvingly.

Thinking of this method, the newspaper was quickly distributed, I have to say, these two brocade guards have the wrong tricks, the blind cat meets the dead mouse, if they really distribute all the Daming Daily in the hands of ordinary people, it is likely to not achieve the expected effect, because ordinary people can know the words are not many, and the owner of the shop, the shopkeeper and the like almost all know the words, plus the people who buy things in the store, see the shopkeeper is reading the Daming Daily This kind of fresh thing, will definitely be very curious, In order to win over customers, the shopkeeper will definitely help to read it, and the content in the daily newspaper is very fascinating and fresh, and after reading the first article, you will want to continue reading the second article and keep reading.

Of course, there are also shopkeepers who will put it away and watch it for themselves in their spare time, and the publicity is not widespread.

Later, Peng Cheng, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, suddenly thought of a solution, which was to send a copy of the Da Ming Tian newspaper printed every day to the storytelling place, so that those people could interpret it to the people who came to listen to the book. This kind of storytelling place can be found in almost every town, and naturally there are many people who don't know how to read but like to listen to books. As soon as the reputation of Daming Daily spreads, there will be people who wait for Daming Daily to come out every day to get the first copy, without Jinyiwei bothering to distribute it.

What is written in Daming Daily is undoubtedly shocking.

For example, Zuo Liangyu wantonly caught Zhuang Ding as cannon fodder in Wuchang, and plundered the people, resulting in the destruction of the people's families and the separation of their wives, and also deliberately cited some examples, such as a place called Shiyun Village twenty miles away from Wuchang City, there were originally more than 20 people, but after Zuo Liangyu's soldiers entered the village, more than 20 families were all looted, the middle-aged men were forcibly escorted away, the women were unbearable to bite their tongues and commit suicide, and the entire village was destroyed, not only in Wuchang, but also in Jiujiang, all of which were articles that promoted the brutality of Zuo Liangyu's army.

One by one, each by one is a real event. Originally, although the people heard that Zuo Liangyu rebelled, after all, they were still far away, they didn't feel anything, and they didn't know what the consequences would be if Zuo Liangyu hit Nanjing, but under the propaganda of each issue of Daming Daily, the people began to have an incomparable fear of Zuo Liangyu.

There are also people who don't believe it, but Zuo Liangyu has been raising troops from Wuchang for 20 days, and there are many people who have escaped the ravages before Zuo Liangyu's soldiers rebelled in Wuchang and fled to Nanjing City. Originally, this kind of thing was not glorious, no one would say it for no reason, but as soon as Daming Daily came out, seeing someone questioning the truth of Daming Daily, these people who had personal experience couldn't help but say it, so that no one doubted the authenticity of Daming Ribai.

"Zuo Liangyu is simply a demon, if he hits Nanjing City, won't we also suffer!" For a while, Zuo Liangyu's brutality was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the people were all afraid that Zuo Liangyu would really hit them where they were, and they were likely to suffer as much as the people in the surrounding counties of Wuchang and Jiujiang.

After two more issues, this issue of Daming Daily suddenly published the news that the emperor was going to take Zuo Liangyu in person, which instantly caused a sensation.

"Long live the emperor!" The people were in tears, in the end, they still had to rely on the court to protect them, almost all the people supported the emperor's personal conquest, and expected the emperor to exterminate the brutal Zuo Liangyu in one fell swoop, which was the desire of the people.

When Ma Shiying and other officials learned about this in the house, they almost got their noses crooked.

They were originally stepping up their efforts to write a few more letters to persuade the emperor to give up the idea of pro-conquest, and they hoped that the emperor would give up this idea under their persuasion, but now that the people are willing, how can the emperor listen to their persuasion and change his mind.

"Nonsense! The emperor's publicity department is simply nonsense. Ma Shiying and the others were so angry that they scolded.

They discussed denouncing the Broadcasting Department at the court meeting, asking Zhu Cihong to abolish the Broadcasting Division, and asking the director of the Broadcasting Department to bewitch the people. How could Zhu Cihong do what they wanted, let the officials jump in anger, just ignore it, and the daily twists and turns about this kind of work are still on the sidelines, and they don't bother to look at it.

Zhu Cihong didn't care, but he was scared enough that there was no shortage of money, and all the officials of the Manchu Dynasty objected, claiming to treat him, the director of the Publicity Department, and he was really afraid that the emperor would sacrifice him if he couldn't hold the pressure.

"As long as you keep to yourself and listen to me, no one can do anything to you if I don't cure your sins." Zhu Cihong comforted Qian Buxian and asked him to do things with peace of mind.

"Your Majesty, you must hold on." There is no shortage of money, crying and mourning.

"Get out, do your thing, you are my person, I don't protect anyone." Zhu Cihong said.

With Zhu Cihong's promise as the emperor, the heart of no shortage of money gradually settled down a lot.

The officials condemned for a few days and did not see any reaction from the emperor, they gritted their teeth one after another, and were so angry that they wanted to jump to their feet, and almost had to invite all the officials to the palace gate together to force the palace to force the palace.

It's just that there is a frightening event in Jiujiang at this time, so big that the officials don't have the slightest intention to waste it on the matter of the Broadcasting Division.

On October 18, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, dozens of Zuo Liangyu's personal soldiers who changed into civilian clothes came to Luzhou City with Zuo Liangyu's handwritten letter to Gao Jie, and successfully met Gao Jie who was guarding Luzhou, and the next day Gao Jie reversed, led his 20,000 troops all the way south, and Zuo Liangyu should join forces to break through Jiujiang City.

Jiujiang City is lost! Zuo Liangyu's hundreds of thousands of troops broke into the city.

How is this possible, how can the 160,000 troops defending the city in front of and behind Jiujiang be lost so quickly! The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't believe it, but they had to believe it, because the information was sent back by Huang Degong, and the intelligence point of Jinyiwei there also transmitted the news back at the same time, so it was impossible to be false.

Not only the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, Zhu Cihong was also extremely shocked!

After the shock, Zhu Cihong and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty learned from the information that Gao Jie, who had replaced Huang Degong in Luzhou, also suddenly rebelled, raised troops to support Zuo Liangyu, and went all the way south to pretend to be Zuo Liangyu's soldiers to rob all the materials that the imperial court had transported to the defenders of Jiujiang City, and burned them, including the military rations of the garrison for more than half a month, which meant that Jiujiang City would run out of food within two days.

As soon as the news came out, although I didn't understand why Zuo Liangyu's army was able to go around the back of Jiujiang, the news of the imminent food supply still made the morale of the defenders of Jiujiang City fall instantly, and was deceived by Gao Jie's false holy decree to open the east gate of Jiujiang City, 20,000 troops in Zuo Liangyu was storming Jiujiang City when they slammed into the city, and Zuo Liangyu's army should be joined by the outside, Jiujiang City fell, most of the more than 100,000 defenders were annihilated, and only 20,000 remnants followed Huang Degong to retreat to Anqing!

Zuo Liangyu and Gao Jie united, nearly 800,000 troops are about to come to Anqing City, once Anqing is also breached, within three days Zuo Liangyu's army will go directly to Wuhu, the last line of defense of Nanjing City.

This was a sudden change, so that the Ming Dynasty had to face the same stormy situation as Li Zicheng when he went east to Beijing half a year ago.
