"Look at the newspaper, read the newspaper, the latest situation in Shandong. Wang Lun's righteous army has descended to Laiwu......"

"Look at the newspaper, read the newspaper, the army of the Han Dynasty gathers in Wuchang ......"

After the year, Changsha City really had a different atmosphere from the past, and the freshly baked newspaper became the new love of countless people.

From the 'election of officials' that caused a lot of uproar a year ago, to the small-scale conflicts on the border between Xiangxi and Hunan and Guangdong, to the changes in rice prices and prices in various parts of Hunan during the Spring Festival, as well as the major changes in the war situation across the country, and so on, you can see it in this small newspaper.

Since Chen Lugong opened the first official newspaper in Hunan with Liu Jijiang, a teacher of Changsha Chengnan Academy, as the president of "Hunan Daily" a few years ago, newspapers with a strong official background such as "Changsha Daily", "Hengyang Daily" and "Huxiang Daily" have not talked about it, and newspapers based on scholars and academicians such as "Shiguwen" and "Yuelu Mountain" have also been released.

Whether it is "Hunan Daily" or a local daily newspaper, it is too cheap and too wide to spread. The Chen Han government also passed coercive measures to make all the teahouses and restaurants everywhere, and those storytellers must have an hour of time to read the newspaper every day, otherwise ......, hehe, there will be good fruits for them to eat. The owners of teahouses and restaurants must not hinder them, otherwise there will be good fruits to taste.

In fact, an hour is not a long time for the content of several newspapers. In the first few days, this kind of coercive measure aroused the disgust of countless businessmen, but soon they turned disgust into love.

Because of the absolutely slow speed of news transmission in this era, it is impossible to compare it with the systematic exchange of news from newspapers, and for official newspapers such as "Hunan Daily", only the thick stack of materials from Hubei and southwest Henan taught to them by Chen Ming is enough for them to wield their wonderful pen.

The current "Hunan Daily" and "Changsha Daily" are also small pieces of current news and large pieces of old news about the military, government, and civil laws of Hubei, southwestern Henan, and so on, and they have easily completed their work.

At the beginning, Xu Yongmin brought Liu Jijiang, a well-known 'celebrity' in Changsha, to Chen Ming, and Chen Ming's first reaction was to choose a prefect for him, but then he thought of the newspaper again. Chen Ming put two choices in front of Liu Jijiang, and with his choice, Liu Jijiang did not hesitate to choose the president of the newspaper.

The 'election of officials', which began in the middle of the lunar month of the previous year, was delayed until the first lunar month, and the position of the last prefect was settled. The hats of the other county officials are all settled, just like Chen Ming thought, Cheng Hao and they are not stupid, and these people are insulted by their former classmates after defecting to the Han Army, but the power of example is endless.

From an ordinary scholar, he ascended to the throne of the four-grade prefect in one step, and I don't know how many people are envious. As mentioned above, there are more depressed and destitute scholars in this world. The ghostwriters at the gate of the temple are also scholars, although they are very poor, but who would say that they are not scholars? Those old children in their thirties and forties, forty or fifty years old, they are also scholars. The example is ahead, Cheng Hao and Xu Yongmin's generation can become high-ranking officials, why can't they?

Every time there is a change of dynasty, isn't it a chance for these 'talented people' who had no future in the old dynasty to turn over?

Such an influx of 'scholars' and the servants and officials who came to work, coupled with the heads and brains within the Changsha Qinglian Sect, suddenly filled the adjutant officials of Changsha, Yueyang and Hengyang. While Chen Ming is skeptical about their ability to handle the issue, this is left to time and data.

Before Huang Xin finally begged for an official hat of the Yongzhou prefect, most of the prefectures and counties in Hunan also ushered in a new page of themselves when the New Year came. Regardless of whether the county magistrates who arrived can stand up on their own, the government has once again been established in the land of Huxiang. The garrisons assigned to the local areas by the Fu Han army were also drawn one after another.

The Second Brigade of the Hunan Army is a unit trained by He Erhu's regiment and the Qing soldiers and people who surrendered in Changsha. Wang Jun, the head of the Qinglian sect in Changsha, has been announced to Lushan, and he will serve in the Industrial and Commercial Department or the Ministry of Finance in the future, believing that this Wang Jun's identity on the surface is a small boss in the Changsha business community.

The Qinglian Sect has been rooted in Changsha for sixty or seventy years, and it has been passed down for three generations, so it is impossible for Chen Ming to leave Wang Jun in Changsha, unless Shen Zichun is a person from the Qinglian Sect, Chen Ming is not ready to use them. But this is clearly not. Shen Zichun is already the head of the garrison in Changsha. The Fu Han army was stationed in Changsha, and Yueyang also had a sailor battalion and a recruit battalion.

Wang Jun knew in his heart that he was not the slightest unhappy, packed up his belongings, and took his family to Lushan a year ago.

There were more than 20,000 Qing soldiers and civilians in Changsha, but the main force was the Yunnan-Guizhou border soldiers, and the people who were taken by the Qinglian Sect to surrender were all Hunan soldiers and Xiangyong, and the number was only one or two thousand. After the Qing army was annihilated in Jinpenling, some people surrendered as soon as they were shouted at by the Han army, and Chen Ming asked the wounded soldiers of the Yunnan-Guizhou border army who had been treated before to be pulled over among the prisoners, and they were disrupted in several ways, and successively established the second brigade of the Hunan Army with He Erhu's department, and then set up the Changsha garrison regiment.

Therefore, whether it is the Hunan First Brigade, the Second Brigade, or the Changsha Garrison Regiment, their individual soldier quality and combat capability are far from being compared with the regular troops of the Fu Han Army. Compared with the pure combat effectiveness of the soldiers, the 15th Brigade of Hengyang is also better than them. In addition, the armor prepared for them by the Fu Han Army is also mainly based on the old-style rattan iron armor, and the all-iron armor is only equipped with a small part, and the artillery is also mainly based on the old-style three-jin cannon and tiger squat cannon. In terms of armament, it was also steadily overpowered by the 15th Brigade!

Those things that were previously included in Chen Ming's arsenal also came in handy again.

……

"It's a pity, it's a pity Yang Mingdao was full of guts, but he was tripped by the villain......"

"It's painful, dozens of loyal and good people died at the city gate."

"What Brother Xiuping said is very true. The fire rope was extinguished before it was exhausted, and it must have been Yang Mingdao who offended the villain and was paid for inferior products. ”

"Yang Mingdao's hard work was in vain, and dozens of athletes were bleeding, sad and crying; To this day, the Qing Dynasty is still full of moths, and it is painful and sad......"

In the Chengnan Academy of His Excellency Tianxin in Changsha, a group of students led by Li Zhuo looked at the inside story of the Battle of Yizhang that was sprinkled with detailed reports on the "Hengyang Daily", and they were really angry. Although for the entire situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there is no doubt that Wang Lun, another participant who suddenly jumped out of the Shandong battlefield, is far from the key to the gains and losses of the small Guangdong regimental training, but for the Chengnan Academy and many people in Hunan, Shandong is too far away, but Yang Zhengjie of Shaozhou, Guangdong is next door.

Yang Zhengjie, whose name is clear, is a native of Shaozhou, Guangdong, since the Han army went to Hunan, he invited teachers and students to form a group training. The battle of Yizhang was not the first time he had fought against Zhou Zhilin, but most of those battles were in Rucheng, and this was the first time he had fought Yizhang, and this time it was the one he was very sure of.

According to Yang Zhengjie's plan, he first let a credible person disguise himself into the city, and then used a deciding person to pretend to be a coachman, drove a donkey cart loaded with hundreds of catties of gunpowder to approach the Yizhang city gate, and then blasted one by one. Under the loud bang, the city gate, the drawbridge, the fence outside the city, the antlers, and the defenders of the Fu Han army at the city gate must have all been reduced to nothing. And Yang Mingdao, who pretended to be a refugee, had already approached Yizhang with his manpower, and as soon as the explosion sounded, the city and the outside of the city would work together to definitely take Yizhang City in one fell swoop.

Yang Zhengjie's plan cannot be said to be impossible, but people are not as good as heaven, that vital carriage, the driver lit the fire rope with a fearless attitude, and the light smoke immediately aroused the idea of the defenders, but the fire rope dyed itself but extinguished, and it did not wait for the Fu Han army to kill it.

So Yang Zhengjie's plan came to naught, and the dozens of people who had previously infiltrated the city were wiped out in the subsequent search.

After this play, it is difficult for Yang Zhengjie to think of a surprise hit. Yizhang will definitely be on guard.

Zhou Zhilin has a full formation in Yizhang, and the Yizhang Zhixian who arrived also knows the danger of his position, and as soon as he arrives, he will set up a police station, and the police chief who came with him to Yizhang is a native of Yizhang, a coal worker, relying on his old relationship, and soon pulled in a small hundred people. The Yizhang garrison also had several cannons, muskets and grenades, and even more armor, even if it wasn't ironclad. really fights, although there are five or six hundred people in the militia group under Yang Zhengjie, they can't do it! Na Yizhang's garrison gathered troops after subseconiting Yang Zhengjie's team, and launched an attack on Yang Zhengjie's troops with the cooperation of dozens of policemen. The "Hengyang Daily" said that it was a complete victory in this battle, but looking at the newspaper only shouting about a complete victory, but did not say that the leader had been caught, the students of Chengnan Academy had reason to believe that the so-called "great victory" was "Hengyang Daily" putting gold on the face of its master.

Seongnam Academy is also brewing a newspaper of its own. The famous Chengnan Academy is of course inferior to Yuelu Academy and Shigu Academy in the country, but in Changsha, Chengnan Academy is not inferior to Yuelu Academy.

Especially in Chengnan Academy, there are two big scum Liu Jijiang and Xu Yongmin, and now a considerable number of teachers and students in Chengnan Academy think that they can't help but wash away this shame. The first edition of the "Hunan Daily" presided over by Liu Jijiang spoke with the group of bastards who slandered the sages of the mixed Yuan Sect, and used the Han family clothes of the sages and sages to the robes and horses of the current Manchu Qing Dynasty, holding the banner of Huayi's distinction, openly and secretly indicating that many of the current scholars are decorating the hair of the Tartars, wearing the clothes of the Tartars, worshiping the king of the Tartars, and also speaking out to defend the way of Confucius and Mencius......

It was also because of the sharp first blow of "Hunan Daily" that the two newspapers "Yuelu Mountain" and "Shiguwen" were in a hurry to be released quickly, and I heard that even the cost of funds was paid by the teachers and students of the two academies. These people from Seongnam Academy also made a contribution.

……

"Your Highness, the report of Chengnan Academy's application for a newspaper has arrived at the Changsha Bureau of Culture and Education."

"How much money did they scrape?"

"I heard that there are fifteen hundred taels."

"Fifteen hundred taels ......," Chen Ming smiled, "Say hello to Liu Jijiang, and the price of the manuscript fee can be revealed." "Scholars are still ashamed to take money directly, but food, cloth, pen, ink, paper, inkstone, books, isn't that money?

Chengnan Academy is only 1,500 taels of silver, how much silver does a complete set of printing tools cost? There are also paper, pen and ink, and the labor for sale, just like "Yuelu Mountain" and "Shiguwen", they also insist on two copper plates and one newspaper, I really don't know how many days the newspaper of this Chengnan Academy can last.

Chen Ming no longer cares about this matter, he tolerates "Yuelu Mountain" and "Stone Drum Text", and he can't tolerate another kick from Chengnan Academy? Anyway, it's just a mouth cannon. Singing and drinking the orthodoxy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, what the Confucian sect is, they don't dare to post it themselves if they go too far, so they can only post tabloids at night. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has never been a dynasty that 'does not sin with words', although the literary prison is not unique to the Manchu Dynasty, but it was pushed to the extreme by the Manchu Dynasty, and those people can value their own lives. Even if there are a few people who want to be famous, and a few who want to be famous, a large number of people are implicated in an accident, not one or two. Look at the Manchu Prison, wasn't that time a big list of mentions?

The literary prison has always been the key position of the newspapers of the Fu Han Army to attack the Manchus. The Manchu Qing Dynasty's literary prison again and again is a black spot that cannot be understood. And why did the Manchus strictly investigate the literary prison, apparently there are also some words.

Putting this matter behind, Chen Ming's eyes focused on the map, the map of Huguang.

"Your Highness, the Yueyang sailors have all been assembled, and the sailors of Wuchang and Jiujiang have also been prepared." Xiong Bingzhang made a summary report to Chen Ming: "The Guards Brigade, the First Division, and the artillery units in Hunan have all been prepared, the 16th and 17th Brigades of the Fourth Division have also been transferred to Wuchang, and the rest of the First Division, the 1st Garrison Division, the 13th Brigade of the 2nd Garrison Division, and the artillery of all units have also been prepared. ”

"The logistics force of 2,200 ships and sailors has also been mobilized."

February is approaching, and Chen Ming has once again assembled a large army in the Wuhan area. Chen Ming is leaving Changsha, he spent the New Year in Changsha, and received a lot of clothes, cloaks, sachets, handkerchiefs and so on from the women in the family.

"Tell He Erhu to cooperate with Liu Fei well, perform a few more plays, and brush Liu Fei's official brush." The latter is the leader of the bandits in Xiangxi, and since the 'surrender' to the Manchu Dynasty, they have repeatedly disturbed Lizhou and Changde, and have jumped from the initial total to the thousand.

On the 22nd of the first month, Changsha Hunan Governor Yamen, Chen Minghui and Zhao Yongji, Zhou Zhilin, He Erhu, Liu Jijiang, Chen Guangqian and other Hunan Chinese martial arts members said:

"This time, our army will go east, and the Qing army will definitely storm Hunan to contain it. You have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, and you must not slack off. ”

While Liu Jijiang was the president of "Hunan Daily", Chen Ming hung up the brand of Hunan supervising the imperial history. Chen Han still has the position of imperial history, but his function is closer to the discipline inspection of later generations. The latter, Chen Guangqian, was the prefect of Changsha and trained in the new barracks for a few days, but Chen Ming transferred him to Changsha a few years ago.

When the soldiers of the Fu Han Army were in Changsha, the days in Hunan were not difficult, Chen Ming left with the team, and the hard days in Hunan really came. For those officials who are now in the line of fire on the land of central Hunan now, the future will be the time to really test them!

"The real test starts now. The big waves and sand have seen real gold, and the officials who have survived the crisis below, and who can withstand hardships and hardships, are the real officials of Chen Han! (To be continued.) )
