Chapter 328: Want to Persuade Me?
Now the situation in the Beijing division is that nearly 20 surrounding states and counties have been completely controlled by the Tiance army, even those old and weak soldiers in the Beijing camp who did not participate in the war are also monitored by the Tiance army and do not dare to move, so the capital is already a turtle in the urn. Fastest updates
Before that, in order to ensure less resistance, less killing, and to calm the people, the propaganda department of the starting point city launched a propaganda offensive.
Since Wang Yue was injured, it has been difficult to get newspapers to the city due to the tense situation.
However, most of the high-end restaurants, teahouses, and green buildings in Jingshi have purchased radios from the starting point city. Moreover, some large families have also purchased radios in the starting point city, and the starting point city radio station has never stopped broadcasting to Jingshi.
Radio is a novelty, the program is rich and colorful, sitting at home you can listen to songs and listen to music, and learn about the big and small things around Beijing.
Especially in recent times, a conflict broke out between the imperial court and the starting point city, and there were also battles in the capital, and the 100,000 troops of the imperial court and the Tiance army fought fiercely in the suburbs of Beijing, which touched the hearts of nearly a million people in the Beijing division.
If conditions permit, you can hear only a few words from the imperial court, but it is difficult to be comprehensive, and the most detailed content of the news is the broadcast.
Since Wang Yue's injury, the duration of news broadcasts has doubled every day. Of course, the propaganda caliber of the broadcast is official in the starting point city, and the starting point city is of course the victim of this incident.
"The starting point city radio station is now broadcasting the news: Our heroic troops of the Tiance Army have recently completely smashed the reactionary army controlled by traitors from the DPRK and China outside the Fucheng Gate of the Beijing Division. Their assault on the city of the starting point was shameless and insane. And our Tiance army is brave and fearless, and all the reactionaries are paper tigers. ”
"These conspirators in the court are jealous of the wealth of the starting point city and the honor set up by the Tiance army. Assassinated Lord Wang Sihua in front, gathered a large army to attack the starting point city in the back, and vainly wanted to take the starting point city as a private property, but the result was to lift a stone and shoot himself in the foot! ”
"Since last year's rebellion, the city has supported hundreds of thousands of people displaced by the war, bringing stability and prosperity to the land of Jingshi, and paying huge taxes to the imperial court. My heroic and glorious Tiance Army galloped the frontier for the imperial court and annihilated countless Jiannu, which can be described as outstanding meritorious service. ”
"Lord Wang Yue, the founder of the starting point city and the Tiance Army, has been eating at night and worrying about everything, seeking the well-being of hundreds of thousands of people and making great contributions to the imperial court, but he has been plotted by the villains in the court."
"Fortunately, Lord Wang Sihua was blessed with a great life and escaped a catastrophe. But the culprit must be severely punished, otherwise the Tiance Army will not agree, and the people of the starting point city will not be able to agree to ......! ”
Today's capital city defense can only be regarded as psychological comfort, which is better than nothing. Chongzhen put the two ministers who worked for him in prison, and took down the Jinyi Wei and others who attacked Wang Yue in the household department, and then resigned himself to fate.
The radio that Princess Kunxing bought during the Spring Festival was accidentally discovered by Chongzhen, so she took it for herself, and now it has become Chongzhen's, and the radio is a good thing, which can let Chongzhen know a lot of things that he didn't know before.
So in desperation, Princess Kunxing had to buy a few more, because the queen mother also loved to listen to those little songs very much.
Listening to the announcer on the radio, shaking his lips and agitating, waving the flag and shouting for the starting point city, and justifying Wang Yue's name.
Chongzhen secretly wondered if Xue Guoguan and Yang Sichang could survive this difficulty, and at the same time secretly frightened the power of this broadcast. The starting point city has a broadcast, which is equivalent to having a sharp mouthpiece, which is simply white can be said to be black, and black can be said to be white, but the court has been dumb, and there is no opportunity to speak and refute.
The starting point city has an invincible Tiance army, and there are such sharp weapons as broadcasting, and the people's desire in the future will inevitably be inclined to the starting point city. Now that the imperial court is in danger again, Chongzhen is already helpless.
The current population of the starting city is more than 300,000, and the number of people in Tianjin and other places is only in the early 400,000s.
This time in the battle with the Ming army, about 130,000 people were captured, and it took a lot of energy and manpower to digest this batch of prisoners. So far, nearly half of the captives are still held in tents fenced with barbed wire. Barbed wire is always a substitute for high walls, so the Tiance Army had to send two regiments to live on the periphery to closely monitor.
No wonder Bai Qi would kill 400,000 Zhao soldiers, perhaps this was also one of his motives.
The conditions in the starting point city are much better, and if you have to feed so many captives, you don't have to worry about food. Most of the captives felt that they had eaten better here than they had eaten in the barracks, at least they could eat enough, the cornmeal was mushy, and they could eat a meal of rice or white flour every day.
The measures taken by the Political Training Department in this regard were to broadcast cable broadcasts all over the prisoner camps, to publicize the prisoner policy in the starting point city throughout the day, and to analyze the causes of the war to the vast number of Ming troops, and ruthlessly expose the darkness and decay of the imperial court.
Such a dense and saturated propaganda and brainwashing offensive shook the minds of these former Ming soldiers, who were not very firm.
The psychological barrier to taking refuge in the starting point city can be ignored, and the starting point city is not Manchu, everyone is of the same origin, and there is nothing to be ashamed of. The image of the invincible Tiance army has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and it can only be a fool's dream to defeat such an army.
These days, there are more and more Yuan Ming troops who take the initiative to ask for refuge, and it is a bit premature to say that their hearts are towards the starting point city, and the generous treatment of the starting point city is their biggest motivation.
So these days, the manpower on the brick making site, the highway section, the railway subgrade construction site has been gradually increasing. Although these captives do not yet enjoy the salary of the starting point city, as captives, one or two taels of silver per month is already a great income for them, not to mention that they can turn into regular after five years.
Wang Yue was satisfied with the work of the Political Training Department and Luo Kaiyuan and others, if the 130,000 captives could be digested and absorbed, the construction work of the starting point city would be greatly accelerated, which was 130,000 high-quality laborers.
In the Detention Center of Qidian City, Lu Xiangsheng, as the commander of the Ming army, was also a historical celebrity respected by Wang Yue, so he was specially detained in a single room.
This room is brightly lit, except that there is no elaborate decoration, its facilities are basically the same as the standard rooms of the guest house, and there is also a small backyard for people to let off. It's just that this small backyard is only a dozen square meters in size, and the top is covered with an iron fence to prevent people from escaping.
"Dangchang!" As the iron lock fell, Wang Yue walked in and saluted Lu Xiangsheng, "I've seen Duke Lu!" ”
Lu Xiangsheng was reading the newspaper, and when he saw that it was Wang Yue, he slapped the newspaper in his hand on the table, and said in a deep voice: "Hmph, do you still want to persuade me to surrender?" ”
