Shang Wen bowed again and stepped down. The onlookers didn't know what the prime minister said, and the reporters couldn't figure out what the situation was. But Shang Wen's words were recorded in their record book: "owned by the people, governed by the people, and enjoyed by the people", and they did not know how to understand it.
Then the reporters began to write on their own. Journalists also have different opinions. For example, Fei Pao, known for its grapevine, began writing articles linking Shang Wen's speech in Changping to the Xinzheng Four-Power Peace Treaty. He believes that there is an inextricable link between them. For example, the friendly relationship between the prime minister and Li Mu, the general of Zhao State. The relationship between the two is definitely not a purely personal one. Judging by the friendly attitude of the two. The two countries have reached some kind of agreement to some extent. And what kind of treaty is reached in this agreement. We still don't know. It's a secret.
The Fei Pao reporter's article pointed the finger directly at the "peace treaty" proposed by Shang Wen. They believe that there is a great deal of relevance in this "peace treaty", and it is the signing of this "peace treaty" that directly leads to this speech.
The focus of the Fei Pao reporters was mainly on the content of the treaty. Some journalists, on the other hand, are beginning to look at the issue through a historical lens. The Battle of Changping was once again brought up from history.
The "Che Ma Bao" focused on the veterans of the Battle of Changping. Or the perception of the population about this war. At the same time, they express their opinions. The reporter began to actively interview the veterans who participated in the war. "Che Ma Bao" has done the best in the details. Different people, different perspectives. Let's talk about the cruelty of this war.
"Can you tell us how you felt when you participated in the Battle of Changping?" The reporter asked.
"The Battle of Changping. Oh, I don't even remember that place was called Changping. I just remember that the war seemed to last a long time. Almost three years. I was there for almost three years. An old man in his sixties said.
The old man pondered for a long, long time.
"A lot of people died. He's dead. That's all I remember. I was just a captain. My first soldier is dead. It was a terrible war. It's so tragic that I think about it every day, but I can't seem to remember anything. ”
Then the old man was reluctant to mention anything. The reporter couldn't ask. Because only some of the people who participated in that war are still there, and the siege of Handan that broke out later was also part of the Battle of Changping. Everyone knows these circumstances, and the Qin army was defeated under Handan City.
The same questioning reporter asked many veterans who had fought in that war. But the veterans all have one thing in common. That is, that war was just too cruel. Died a lot. That's what they remember in common.
The Financial Express only gave a glimpse of Shang Wen's speech, and focused more on the signing of the Peace Treaty, which was the first to be published. As soon as the news came out, it directly led to a large decline in military stocks. However, other stocks began to rise sharply. For example, transportation stocks.
The Wenyang Railway soared by 12 percent. Wenyang Cement Company rose 9 percent. In a peaceful environment. The importance of construction suddenly became very important. At the same time, in terms of futures. Wheat futures, which had been falling all the way, began to pick up, and they thought that wheat was being sold. At the same time, the price of flour began to fluctuate on a large scale. Mainly, the demand in the three markets of Zhaoguo, South Korea and Yanguo will increase. However, the low price of wheat has made it impossible for flour to rise significantly in a short period of time.
The reporter of "Zhao Zhao Destiny" only mentioned the process and ending of the war. At the same time, some officers of the rank of colonel began to make some comments.
At this time, Shang Wen was on his way to Taiyuan County. He was going to inspect the situation before returning. At the time of his inspection. These reports began to be distributed.
The newspaper media were unable to report uniformly on this issue, which led to a great deal of discussion. In particular, the state of Qin, and the state of Zhao. After all, these two countries were mortal enemies of that war. Some of the other six people in Xianyang also began to participate in the discussion.
"If you want me to say, that war was a terrible fight. The Qin army killed more than 400,000 people. I heard about the year. All the ladies in Handan City have become widows. Miserable, miserable. A Qi person said.
"Not really. How scary that war was. The state of Qin dispatched more than 600,000 troops at once. Zhao Guo is also not ambiguous, more than 400,000 against each other. A Yan Guoren chimed in.
And the people of Qin don't seem to be willing to talk about it. Although they won. But they were also reluctant to bring it up, because it brought up one of the most sensitive topics. Slaughter.
Although I don't want to talk about it. But they also can't help talking, talking. They always say it in private. "Hmph, the people of the Qin State slaughtered the 400,000 troops of the Zhao State, so what? Don't say anything, my Daqin is a good man. Not to mention 400,000, even 1 million, we can still kill him. "The people of Qin have maintained that iron-blooded attitude as always.
Journalists seem to have found a new topic. New news material was also discovered. There was another upsurge of opinion about that war. The attitude of the newspaper also began to exert his negative effect. With a certain inflammatory nature.
Some young people of the Qin State, especially some students. They think their ancestors did the right thing. That war made the prestige of the Qin state. played a good man in the Qin country. And some of the people of the Six Nations in Xianyang were disgusted by this. They focused more on the conversation of Prime Minister Daqin.
And some newspapers, especially after the Qin State took control of the distribution of newspapers. "Zaobao" began to spread some of the might of the Qin army in the war of the Qin State on a large scale. The newspapers constantly mentioned some famous war examples. In particular, all the wars against the Six Kingdoms after the Shang Dynasty of Qin changed their minds. To Korea, to Wei, to Chu. To Zhao Guo and so on. After these battles, he also painstakingly wrote the exploits of the battles. For example, how many heads are killed. These achievements are also added up to show off. This greatly stimulated the desire of those young people of the Qin State to yearn for war. The situation is starting to get out of control.
subject to the harshness of the law. They're just a little bit of a fight. For example, in school, I started to isolate from those Korean students. Those who report negatively about the Qin War are not allowed. It is only allowed to look at the side of the great achievements of the Qin State. Young people are forming an extremist ideology dominated by the Qin state. Shang Wen knew nothing about this, and after a brief inspection of Taiyuan, he began to rush back to Xianyang along the Fen River Valley.
