Chapter 304: War Correspondent
Up and down Xuzhou, there was a panic.
Cao Cao's soldiers pressed the border.
However, Cao Cao's side was not having a good time, and the pressure was huge.
Now, all the infamy is on Cao Cao, which is not good for him, because the morale of the army will be low, and there will be a reason for rebellion within the army.
Cao Cao led the troops outside, and Xun Yu at home did his best to maintain it, but it was also very sad.
Cao Cao has ransacked many cities, and in the name of avenging his father, he has looted many families.
However, these were still not enough, and Cao Cao could only barely make ends meet.
As soon as the army moved, countless money and food were spent.
In Xuzhou, many people want to change their faces, because Tao Qian is really incompetent.
When both sides were in a dilemma, Zhang Ming was very busy.
"My lord, we have another group of more than 3,000 displaced people."
"My lord, more than 5,000 people have been brought back."
"My lord, there are only more than 2,000 people in this batch."
"My lord, we have brought back more than 3,500 people by land, and it has cost a lot along the way."
"Lord, the grain has been distributed to the villages, and now the food gap is a bit big."
"My lord, to build a house, you need a lot of wood, so you have to buy it quickly."
"Lord, farming tools are needed to open up wasteland, and some of our current workshops can't do it."
All kinds of news have been piling up, and during this time, Zhang Ming and they recruited more than 50,000 homeless people.
The resettlement of these displaced people is a big deal.
The whole Youzhou is very busy.
All kinds of materials need to be mobilized, Tian Feng is really busy, and Zhang Ming can only be responsible for it personally.
Originally, Chen Yang could do it, but now Chen Yang is also busy building a city.
Zhang Ming gets busy every day, but it goes by quickly.
Cao Cao's army captured the city in Xuzhou, and the people panicked.
On the edge of the dock, tens of thousands of people gathered at this time, and these people were afraid of being killed by Cao Cao, so they gathered there.
Zhang Ming had no choice but to urgently transport a batch of grain.
Zhang Ming also had some connections in Xuzhou, and bought some food so that these people would not starve to death.
However, the transportation capacity is limited, and Zhang Ming will not be able to transport the people back in a short period of time.
Cao Cao's army finally reached the outside of Xiapi City.
Rumors spread elsewhere, some said that after Cao Cao took Xuzhou, he would kill 100,000 people to commemorate his father.
As soon as this news came out, everyone was shocked.
And a great number of people were about to flee, and they were rushing with their families and families to the sea.
When you get to the sea, there is hope.
After Tao Qian knew, he sat up in shock.
"Iniquity, iniquity."
"The people of Xuzhou are bitter, how many people have to die here."
Tao Qian cried, ancient migration, usually do not know how many people will die.
In other words, even if Zhang Ming took good care of the homeless people, hundreds of people have died so far.
Tao Qian cried, the people ran away from home, and he, the state pastor, had the greatest responsibility.
It can be said that Tao Qian's late season is not guaranteed, and after this time, his reputation has hit hard.
Tao Qian also knew that there was no way to go down to the position of Xuzhou Prefecture pastor, at least not to his son.
If he passes it on to his son, he will definitely kill his son, and he is very sensible about this.
Tao Qian's reputation is bad, and Xuzhou will definitely be divided, his son is not capable enough, let them be the state pastor, and they will soon be taken away, and even their lives will not be guaranteed at that time.
Zhang Ming doesn't care about these.
He is now following Xuzhou's movements.
"Zhicai, you can arrange it, the few who can draw before, send two people, under the escort of the scouts, to Xuzhou to collect style."
"Draw the situation in Xuzhou with pictures, and send fast horses every day."
Zhang Ming suddenly made another decision, and Xi Zhicai and Tian Feng, who came to report, didn't quite understand what Zhang Ming was going to do.
Xi Zhicai said: "Lord, if you want to draw anything, let our soldiers come back and describe it." ”
Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "No, some things need actual scenes, such as city gates, some marked streets. ”
"There is no difference between outsiders and outsiders, because most people have never seen it, but the people in Xuzhou are different, and many people have seen the real scene."
"This picture, if it were printed in a newspaper, would make a big difference."
Xi Zhi understood.
So, Zhang Ming's war correspondent appeared.
They had to go to the front line to paint, to paint the tragedy of the battlefield and the situation in Xuzhou after the war.
A few days later, the two painters followed the southbound fleet to Xuzhou.
After arriving in Xuzhou, he began to paint under the escort of soldiers.
A painter arrived at the city occupied by Cao's army.
He saw that the streets were sparsely populated and depressed.
So, he began to paint the street scenes.
After drawing a dozen pictures, he went to several battlefields again, and the piles of mounds were all nameless graves.
Crumbling walls, burned-out gates, depressed streets, mound after mound.
When passing through the village, the fields outside the village were overgrown with weeds, the houses were dilapidated, and there were no people in sight.
Ruins.
To be honest, this ruin is not necessarily caused by Cao Cao, and now that the troubled times have been many years, there are many such places in every state.
The artist doesn't have to find out who caused it, he just sketches the scene.
Of course, he also paints in color, and Zhang Ming also provided some crayons and paints for special paintings.
It's just that if you paint in color, it's also black and white when you go back and print it.
The first batch to be sent back needs to be fast, and it is best to sketch it.
Another painter went to the beach.
This is a place where displaced people gather, there are very many people, more and more people.
That's what he painted.
It takes many, many paintings.
On the first day, they collected more than 70 paintings and sent them back as fast as possible.
A few days later, Zhang Ming received these paintings as soon as possible, and he called Xi Zhicai to Tian Feng.
"Look at these paintings, how good they are."
Paintings have information such as time and place, and each painting needs a simple text description.
"Lord, these paintings are so good, as long as they are published, this Tao Qian and Cao Cao are indisputable." Xi Zhicai said excitedly.
Tian Feng looked at the painting and nodded.
"Lord, why don't we publish the grand scene of a football field."
As soon as Zhang Ming thought about it, I published a painting and didn't say anything else.
Compared with the depression in Xuzhou, this grand occasion is simply silent propaganda.
"Okay, draw all my extravagant pomp and show me a close-up."
"Since you want to be strategically fooled, you will continue to be strategically fooled."
Zhang Ming called another painter and asked him to paint the situation of the football field.
A day later, the newspaper began to be printed.
This time, Zhang Ming chose six of these paintings.
One is a ruined city gate, the other is a depressed street, the other is the ruins and grass of a village, and the backs of two old men in the wind.
There is also the nameless grave in the wild, and then there are two pictures of the situation of the homeless, who gather at the dock, waiting for hope from Youzhou.
