Wang Fuzhi guessed correctly.

Sun Qifeng's lobbying of the Shizi representatives was nothing more than an insurance measure for the Jiangnan gentry, and they did not expect to be able to turn the tide by relying on the Shizi representatives, and they had to go all out in this decisive battle and use all the means they could use to fight against Yang Qing.

The first is publicity.

"They're going to manipulate public opinion too!"

Yang Qing looked at the newspaper spread out in front of him and said with interest.

The content in the newspaper is simple.

It is the real situation of the land reform in the north, of course, including the untrue situation, to say that the gentry who spread rumors are no worse than him, not to mention that many things in the northern land reform do not need to spread rumors, only need to carry out some artistic processing. After the relationship with Yang Qing broke down, the newspapers controlled by the gentry in various parts of Jiangnan began to report on the situation in the north in a big way, and the open newspapers were easy to be censored, but the underground tabloids were not such a problem. In other words, tabloids have been very mature since the Northern Song Dynasty, and they have also become more mature over the years.

Yangzhou, Suzhou, Hangzhou......

All the cities that are currently the economic centers of the Ming Dynasty are flooded with tabloids without exception.

All the tabloids spared no effort to exaggerate the situation in the land reform in the north, describing the north as a dark land of blood and blood. Without exception, those land reform teams are described as the East Factory of the era of the four out of Tiqi, where people and gods are angry, and the criticism of the gentry is simply mad.

Lost in clothes!

Even if the book burning pit is far from it!

What kind of change in Heyin, the disaster of the White Horse Post is simply incomparable!

Put the gentry in the barn, tie the gentry and parade through the streets, put them on the platform and kneel to be wantonly humiliated by those people, and they are beaten lightly, even if they treat criminals like this. Not only did they divide their land, family property and houses, but even their wives and concubines were snatched and bullied wantonly, and not just one or two, almost all the northern gentry were purged. Oh my God, what a crime the gentry suffered from this catastrophe, the people didn't do this to them, they looked forward to the imperial court's recovery of Hebei, but they didn't expect such a result. And there is no way to ask for help, the officials in the north are afraid of the obscenity of the Jinyi Guard, and no one dares to administer justice for them.

It can be said that these tabloids did their best to depict the nightmare that the Jiangnan gentry would face once the Gongtian Law was implemented.

As for the open newspapers......

They made in-depth analyses from various aspects such as history, morality, law, etc., and criticized the obstinate behavior of the protectors, and even cited the previous two examples of doing so, such as Wang Mang and Jia Nidao. The world is in chaos after the restructuring, and a public field is dead in the thatched pit, if the protector of the country goes against the sky, sooner or later the world will be in chaos, as for whether he is dead in the thatched pit, it is difficult to judge. All in all, the implementation of this public land law will immediately make the country disappear and be in danger!

Anyway, it's not illegal to comment.

Daming is still very open in this regard.

In addition, since the Gongtian Law was published in full in the newspapers, it was for people to comment, and these gentry-controlled newspapers quickly sparked great discussions about the Gongtian Law in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. However, because those poor tenants would certainly not write articles, and if they did, they would not be published in the gentry's newspapers, so from the perspective of public opinion, they unanimously criticized the public land law.

There are those who scold the people for protecting the country and causing disasters to the country and the people.

Although these newspapers who dared to openly insult the Protector of the Nation were treated irrationally without exception, even so, there were still brave men who dared to face the dripping blood and express their indignation at the Gongtian Law with their brushstrokes. In addition, these public newspapers also expressed deep concern about the rumors of the chaos of land reform in the north, and even suggested that the Four People's Congress should form an investigation team to go to the north to verify these rumors and rumors, so as to give an explanation to the people of the world.

One is righteous and awe-inspiring to quote scriptures to refute the Gongtian Law, and the other is to describe the consequences of the Gongtian Law in an extreme way.

As for the petition......

This one is really gone!

The gentry also knew that their petition was tantamount to farce.

In this way, the great debate on the Gongtian Law completely flooded the major newspapers, and no one even paid attention to the successive victories of the Ming Navy and Army in the south. Although by this time they had landed at Longya Gate and easily routed the Johor rebels, and even sent warships to patrol outside the city of Malacca. As for the purpose, of course, it is not to attack the Dutch, but to protect shipping, after all, Britain and the Netherlands have officially started a war, in order to avoid the flames of war in Europe to the South Seas, the Ming Navy must cruise in the Strait of Malacca. In addition, the landing on the island of Sumatra and the occupation of Medan opened up a second battlefield, in short, the crusade against Johor has rapidly expanded into an escort operation in the Strait of Malacca.

And the crusade against Nanzhang is also going well.

The Zheng family agreed to the Ming army's attack on Nanzhang from its territory, and were now transporting supplies along the Li Xian River to Dien Bien Phu in preparation for a formal crusade in winter.

The crusade against Burma is also well underway.

The material resources were continuously transported along the Yangtze River to Xuzhou Prefecture, and then transported to Kunming by the people organized by Zhang Xianzhong, and transported by Yungui and some Huguang militia from Kunming to Tengchong in the same way. An army cobbled together by Zhang Xianzhong's subordinates also arrived in Kunming under the leadership of Feng Shuangli and officially accepted the command of the Tang King to participate in the crusade against Burma. However, Zhang Xianzhong is already bedridden, if nothing happens, at the end of next year at most, the Duke of Protector can survive this last hero by lying down and winning.

I have to say......

It's good to be young!

But no one cared about these at all, and even the news that the American Pioneer Fleet had returned home with a huge harvest of whaling in Jinshan, that is, in the San Francisco area, did not attract much attention, and all the newspapers in the entire Ming Dynasty were staring at the Gongtian Law, staring at the land reform in the north, and staring at the decisive battle between the protector and the gentry.

"They're not stupid, they've learned your methods over the years."

The Empress said.

"But isn't it too chaotic in the north?"

She went on to say.

She didn't know what the north was like.

Yang Qing would definitely not use such a trivial matter to disturb the empress feeding his son.

"Chaos, chaos is right, what we are carrying out is an unprecedented reform, and it is not an exaggeration to even call it geming, there is no emotion to talk about this kind of thing. The landlord class must be completely eliminated, and in one way or another, they have seriously slowed down the development of the Ming Dynasty. If wealth continues to be concentrated in their hands, rather than benefiting all people to the fullest extent, our internal market will not really be formed. The tenants, who were to give them the vast majority of the harvest, could not be expected to be able to buy a real steady stream of clothes and all kinds of industrial goods, which only homesteaders could afford. ”

Yang Qing said as he threw the newspaper into the wastebasket.

There is no need to care too much about this kind of thing, when he reaches his level, he has long regarded human life as a number, and besides, none of the gentry in the north are clean, and the casualty rate of the land reform team this year even exceeds that of the Ming army. Those gentry are not in the south, the southern gentry have other choices, after all, the development of industry and commerce is real, but the northern gentry rely on those lands! Confiscating their land is equivalent to cutting off their lives, and it's no wonder they don't work hard! The fierceness of the war in the north is comparable to that of the Qing army at the beginning, in this case, in order to quickly solve the gentry, the land reform team can only release a big move to complain about grievances, and this big move is not so easy to control after it is released. The hatred of the people in the north for the powerful landlords has reached the point of not sharing the sky, before this even many gentry began to exercise the right of the first night, and now the anger of hatred has been released, it is strange not to burn a red flame!

"They're not going to do that, are they?"

The Empress said.

At present, the methods adopted by the gentry are propaganda and lobbying, not only lobbying the representatives of the four peoples, but also lobbying for officials of the DPRK and China, military generals, and even some retired guys, but the effect is very limited, and they can support them spiritually, but they do not need to talk about confronting the protector for this purpose.

Especially the military generals who focus on lobbying.

It is true that many of these military generals are not very welcoming to the Protector's move, but it would be an exaggeration to let them betray the Protector.

No matter whether the protector is right or wrong, no one in the military dares to oppose it, even if there is a large amount of land in it, such as Zhang Mingzhen, Wang Zhiren and other southern military leaders, their attitude towards the public land law is also very clear. I don't understand the practice of the protector, but resolutely obey the orders of the protector, and the understanding of the protector must be implemented, and the understanding must be implemented if you do not understand, and the understanding will be deepened in the implementation. Anyway, they all know very well that it is impossible to create a rebellion for the protector of the country, it is impossible in this life, they dare to say that it is against the protector of the country, and the next moment their staff officer will be able to cut off their heads. Besides, the Protector will not treat them badly, in the previous stock market crash, under the leadership of the Protector, most of them got a piece of the pie, which is actually the compensation given to them by the Protector, and it is not righteous enough to oppose the Protector.

As for the civil servants, it is even more useless.

The military generals did not dare to rebel against Yang Qing, what else could the civilian officials do? Is it taking advantage of the cabinet meeting to fight in groups? In other words, the gap between their combat effectiveness and Yang Qing is still very large.

In the final analysis, Yang Qing has been laying out for nearly ten years.

He has long used various ways to dismantle the means that the gentry can choose, the latter cannot use the army to clear the monarch's side, the army is all Yang Qing's gang, and he cannot use the civil officials to fight, and the civil officials have no force after all. And it is useless to use local control to cause chaos, since the last Huizhou incident, the gentry have understood that they were locked in a cage by Huangzhuang.

Originally, the most effective was assassination.

Since you can't solve the problem, let's solve the person who caused it!

It is also the most versatile means.

From the emperor to the common people, they can use the means, and the effect is the best, and the danger is the least, and a guy like Yang Qing who is angry and resentful can be said to be happy when he dies. It is estimated that even those officials and military generals are secretly happy, after all, Yang Qing is no longer useful to them now, and the Ming Dynasty's Four People's Congress and Cabinet system are already very perfect, if Yang Qing suddenly dies of illness, I am afraid that a large number of military generals will secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

However......

This bastard is immortal!

How many people dream of trying to kill him, but it's desperate not to die.

If he hadn't been immortal, would the gentry still be able to keep him alive until now? Just these things that he has done over the years are enough for him to fall into the water eight hundred times, saying that Zhengde has fallen into the water, the apocalypse has fallen into the water, and Chongzhen has also fallen into the water, if he Yang Qing is not immortal, I am afraid he will have to fall into the water once a month. Since the time when Chongzhen was encouraged to collect taxes, it is estimated that there have been many people who want to hack him to death, and later Huangzhuang, inventory of land, change the imperial examination, no matter which time, as long as one can be assassinated, he will never be able to complete these alive. The reason why he succeeded was not because of his more clever methods, not because he was favored, not because of his special relationship with the empress, but because he was able to reform again and again, and there was actually only one real reason......

He can't be killed!

He is a demon who can be restarted by Yuan Zong's hundreds of guns.

He is a demon who can't be killed by a god warrior who can't blow himself up.

He is a demon who shoots with John Tang in front of the whole city of Nandu, and can shoot out the auspicious light of protecting the body!

Someone else?

Also reformed?

Let's be honest and fall into the water!

The Ming Dynasty has its own national conditions, the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty block all reformers, no matter who you are, even if it is the emperor, in the Ming Dynasty wants to save this dying empire through reform, you must first have an immortal body, if there is no immortal body, then geming is the most realistic choice.

There is only one reason for Yang Qing's success......

He is immortal!

He is immortal!

What Huangzhuang, what new tax system, what support of the prison state, even the Four People's Congress is the same, all of them are not worth mentioning, and in the face of the power of the gentry, they are all scum. They can endure Yang Qing until now, just because they can't destroy this guy who has died again and again from the **, they could have let him fall into the water, beat him to death in the court, and poisoned him to death. In short, they originally had a lot of means to completely solve the trouble that Yang Qing had caused them, but they had to endure it until now, just because they knew that they couldn't kill him!

It's really sad!

"Their solution is simple,"

Yang Qing smiled and said, "Just buy it with silver!" ”

Indeed, Sun Qifeng is useless.

Lobbying is useless.

But under the electoral system, there is actually one of the simplest and most effective means, just like President Cao Kun, you can just throw money to buy it. The Ming Dynasty's Four People's Congress system has just been established, and many systems are still imperfect, especially the supervision of the four people's representatives, so it is the easiest to play directly. The simple means of conveying benefits was completely familiar to the gentry.

For business representatives, you can sell low and buy high, and the transfer of benefits can be easily completed.

Then the gentry had half of the votes.

Among the remaining workers' and peasants' representatives, there will always be those who cannot resist the temptation, and if they buy more than 50 percent of the votes.

It's as simple as that.

"And then you're going to arrest someone?"

The Empress said angrily.

"Yes!"

Yang Qing said frankly.
