The power of the people's war is infinite, and Zhu Cijiong knows the truth very well, so he naturally will not learn from the emperors of the past to be a lonely man who is divorced from the people. The people's war does not mean that everyone should rush forward to fight, but that the whole people should participate, so that they can be twisted into a rope and give full play to their combat effectiveness.

So how do you relate to the people under your rule? To maintain the authority of the emperor, one must be high above and look down on all beings; To connect with the people under your rule, you have to communicate with them. The emperor may be able to know what the people under his rule are thinking, but it is impossible for the people under his rule to know what an emperor is thinking, and it is impossible for him to run to tell every person what I want to do today and what I want to do tomorrow. No previous emperor could convey his will to every person, but Zhu Cijiong did.

The newspaper is the link of connection, the bridge of communication, through the newspaper propaganda can make the people of the Ming Dynasty and his heart think together, and work together.

Of course, people's minds are the most difficult to control, not that if you want others to think with you, others will definitely think with you. It is very difficult to influence people's thoughts, and ordinary people can't do it at all. Fortunately, Zhu Cijiong is not an ordinary person, he came through time, he saw a lot of this kind of thing in his previous life, how to guide, how to control, there are ready-made examples, he just needs to let Wu Meicun do it.

When Wu Meicun hurried to the imperial study, Zhu Cijiong was reading carefully with a copy of "The Beijing News", and he was afraid of interrupting the emperor's Yaxing, so he had to stand in front of the desk and wait quietly.

Zhu Cijiong had actually seen him, but this issue of the champion article was really wonderful, he couldn't help but read it in one go, and then smiled and said: "This champion article is really wonderful, no wonder five million newspapers have been snapped up, not bad, you have a very good idea." But there are only so many champions alive, have you figured out what to do next? ”

Wu Meicun replied confidently: "If you go back to the emperor, Weichen will next want to find some colleagues who are first-class jinshi and the first to continue to discuss the title of the gold list. ”

Zhu Cijiong thought about it for a while, it was really like this, he presided over two palace exams, and each time he personally read a lot of test papers, if you want to talk about literary talent, he really didn't see the high and low. However, what he chose the champion was not to see the right content, but to look at the name, the most famous in later generations must be the most powerful, it's as simple as that, Wu Meicun wants to know that he is this standard, and it is estimated that his eyes will fall out.

Of course, it is impossible for Zhu Cijiong to tell Wu Meicun about this standard, he nodded, skipped this question directly, and took the school examination: "I will recover Liaodong next year, can you make the people of the Ming Dynasty all shout for me, and even contribute money and efforts?" ”

Wu Meicun was stunned when he heard this, and his head was running wildly, this way, that, and that, and after thinking for a while, he replied tentatively: "Why don't you publish a special issue of Liaodong, which will write about how Jiannu burned, killed and looted in Liaodong." ”

Zhu Cijiong shook his head and said, "Not enough." ”

Wu Meicun said cautiously: "Do you want to come back to another issue, and write about how miserable the Han people in Liaodong are now?" ”

Zhu Cijiong continued to shake his head and said, "It's not enough. ”

Wu Meicun racked his brains and thought for a while, and then continued to reply: "Do you want to come to another issue to introduce the rich products and vast land of Liaodong?" ”

Zhu Cijiong saw that he had no clue, and he pulled east and west, knowing that he was afraid that he would not be able to plan it completely, so he had to explain systematically: "You can't do this hammer in the east and a stick in the west, you must go step by step, first write about the rich products and vast land in Liaodong, so that the people feel that it is a pity that such a great river and mountain was taken away by Jiannu; then write about how Jiannu treated the people of Liaodong, so that they could see the faces of the invaders clearly and not take chances; and then write about how Jiannu burned, killed and looted in Liaodong, arousing the righteous indignation of the people; Then write about how miserable the Han people in Liaodong are now, let the people know the consequences of being ruled by the invaders, and inspire them to resist; Then write about the ferocity of Jiannu, they wantonly hunted and killed the people in Liaodong, captured the Liao people as slaves, and slaughtered the city at every turn, all of which were written in detail, so that the people of the Ming Dynasty were furious and eager to bite the Jiannu twice. In the end, I set up a few more role models, waving the flag, and contributing money and efforts, so that the people know what they should do. ”

After this set was introduced, Wu Meicun simply admired the five-body throw, and he saluted reverently: "The emperor is really a god, and Weichen has been taught." ”

This is all plagiarism, Zhu Cijiong shook his hand a little embarrassed, and continued: "Don't publish the special issue, it's a bit too deliberate to write about Liaodong throughout the article, and the other content still needs to be a little, just do it, write Liaodong on the front, write other content on the back, a few more issues, and it will be finished before the year." ”

Wu Meicun hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Weichen obeys the order." ”

Zhu Cijiong saw that he was almost done, so he asked, "Is there any more questions?" If you don't have one, go ahead and get ready. ”

Wu Meicun thought about it, and said with an embarrassed face: "This, Weichen has never seen the tragic situation of Liaomin with his own eyes, I'm afraid that it won't be good to write." ”

Zhu Cijiong said angrily: "You haven't seen it, naturally someone has seen it, there are many people who have fled from Liaodong to Beijing, and you are still worried that no one will submit your manuscript once you go to the notice of soliciting papers?" Pay attention when reviewing the manuscript, don't be too gentle, be sure to write miserable, if the writing is not bad enough, you can polish them, it's best to make people angry when they see it, understand? ”

Wu Meicun nodded understandingly: "Weichen understands. ”

............

In the past few days, the "Beijing News" has reported on the products and beautiful scenery of Liaodong, and readers from all over the Ming Dynasty have also habitually followed the report of the "Beijing News" to discuss Liaodong.

The wind direction in various parts of the Ming Dynasty has changed, and the scene of joy everywhere some time ago has been changed, and there are more and more people sighing: "Alas, such a great river and mountain have been occupied by Jiannu, but it is a pity, it is a pity." ”

There are also people who complain from time to time: "Yes, it's a pity, now that the Ming army is so strong, why don't you recover Liaodong?" ”

The speaker seemed to be unintentional, but the listener noticed, and the voice became more and more, and the sigh turned into a complaint.

These seemingly unintentional people are actually Jinyiwei's secret agents, and the secret agents from all over the country have received secret orders from the upper peak, participate in the discussion of the readers, and guide them in a timely manner.

When the sigh turned to complaining, the Beijing News began to report on the harsh administration implemented by Jiannu in Liaodong and the oppression of the people of Liaodong.

For a while, some people scolded and empathized, and some people continued to complain: "What's going on with the imperial court, Jiannu doesn't treat the people of Liaodong as people, why don't you go to recover Liaodong and rescue the people?" ”

So the complaints became louder and louder, and at this time, the "Beijing News" began to report how Jiannu burned and looted in Liaodong, and the people of Daming were angry, and Daming was scolded all over the country.

Among them, some people were very excited from time to time, clamoring for a joint letter, asking the imperial court to send troops to Liaodong to clean up Jiannu.

There are more and more people following the trend, and there are really a lot of joint books. At this time, the "Beijing News" began to report on the tragic situation of the Han people in Liaodong again, which was even more terrible, and the scolding in all parts of the Ming Dynasty was even more fierce, not only those who scolded Jiannu, but also those who scolded the court for being incompetent.

Among them, some people were angry from time to time, clamoring to go to Liaodong to fight Jiannu. Of course, it is impossible to really go to Liaodong, but there are more and more people who say they want to go.

At this time, the "Beijing News" began to report on the ferocity of the Jiannu again, killing the people in Liaodong wantonly, arresting the Liao people as slaves, and slaughtering the city at every turn.

Jiannu turned out to be so inhumane, and now the people of the Ming Dynasty were angry, and more and more people roared to clean up Jiannu, and even in many places there was a situation where the county government yamen strongly demanded that the imperial court send troops to recover Liaodong.

At this time, the "Beijing News" reported major news, and the Rixinglong firm donated 10 million taels of silver and asked the imperial court to send troops to Liaodong to clean up the Jiannu.

For a time, there was a lot of applause from all over the Ming Dynasty, and the Rixinglong firm was crowned with the title of a patriotic businessman, and the threshold of the branch was about to be stepped on, and the business was booming!

The next day, the "Beijing News" reported another major news, and the Ming Dynasty also donated 10 million taels of silver to ask the imperial court to send troops to Liaodong to clean up the Jiannu.

Daming Western trade? What is this? The coastal maritime merchants may have heard of such a business, but the people in other parts of the Ming Dynasty do not know what the Ming Dynasty Western trade is for, and the Rixinglong business is just that, which is recognized by the people as the first business name of the Ming Dynasty, rich and rival the country, and it is not unusual to donate 10 million taels of silver. This suddenly appeared a name of Ming Western Commerce, which I had never heard of, and it was so generous!

The people of the Ming Dynasty couldn't sit still, and those who had money donated generously, you have one or two and I have five dollars, and you have a few dollars and I have a few dollars to raise money, and then send a representative to take the list and go to the county government yamen to donate money; Those who have no money also began to petition, to go to Liaodong to contribute, dare to do anything! Everyone has one request, please send troops to the imperial court, clean up the Jiannu, and recover the rivers and mountains!

This can make the officials everywhere stupid, and the taxes have also been increased when the imperial court's finances are tight in the past, and it is difficult to collect it, and the common people are all complaining. It's good now, they all sent the money to the yamen, and you are still in a hurry if you don't accept them!

The yamen everywhere dare not call the shots, this is no precedent, who dares to accept it!

When Zhu Youzhen came to Zhu Cijiong with a pile of folds, our Chongzheng Emperor smiled, what he wanted was this effect, the whole people shouted and beaten, and they jointly wrote a letter, and they also donated to petition, which is like going to war!

So, he waved his little hand and said arrogantly: "Collect, take it all, and tell them that tomorrow I will give an explanation to the people of the whole country." ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at him inexplicably, and said in his heart: "What do you want to explain?" ”

Zhu Cijiong's confession was that the next day, the front page of the "Beijing News" published a holy message:

I also want to recover Liaodong, but now the heavy snow between Jingshi and Liaodong is closed and impassable, I hereby solemnly promise that in the spring of next year, when the ice and snow melt, I will wave my army to the north, go straight to Liaodong, and not return to Liaodong, and vow not to collect troops.

As soon as the oracle came out, the whole people rejoiced.
