[The starting point book review area reward starting point coin activity is underway, everyone come and participate! ] 】

National hatred and family hatred, in hundreds of years, the Ming Dynasty has completely disappeared, and the national hatred can be forgotten, but the family hatred cannot be forgotten, and their ancestors died under the sword of the Manchurians.

Family hatred is one of the most important propaganda directions, most Han people have ancestors killed by the Manchus, and family hatred cannot be forgotten.

The Manchu officers and soldiers stationed in the surrounding cities of Siqi Province were the first to be influenced by the propaganda of the Ministry of Intelligence, and the Ministry of Intelligence adopted the method of rumors to spread all kinds of remarks against these officers and soldiers who could not read a few big characters.

The enslavement rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty made some people insensitive, and they didn't even care about the hatred of the country and the family, but some people have not forgotten that the family hatred that has been buried in their hearts has been slowly triggered, especially some officers and soldiers who have been oppressed by the Manchus, and the anger in their hearts is the strongest.

So some officers and soldiers were connected in series, and they often discussed together how to take revenge, whether they could defect to the Han army or set themselves up as kings, but now that their strength is still weak, they should unite more like-minded people to take revenge on the Manchus together.

However, accidents appeared, no matter when, traitors or traitors were indispensable among the Han people, who betrayed their "brothers" in order to get promoted and make a fortune.

Then a large-scale arrest began, under the orders of Han officials and generals loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, all officers and soldiers who wanted to rebel were arrested and beheaded, and those who could report it were rewarded.

The more than 200,000 troops stationed in the border cities of Siqi Province became somewhat disorganized, and most of the rebels, who only made up a tiny minority, were quickly arrested and killed, mainly because of the betrayal of traitors or traitors who wanted to get promoted and make a fortune.

There are few rebels left, quickly hide themselves, no longer reveal their thoughts to outsiders, even if they are brothers, they still want to rebel in their hearts, but their actions will be more secretive, slowly looking for like-minded people, and no more traitors can be allowed to appear inside.

Propaganda against illiterate officers and soldiers is the use of rumors, and it is much simpler for those literate officials and generals to simply send one or several copies of a large number of printed leaflets.

There may be some officials who are stupid and loyal to the Manchu Qing Dynasty who will burn such leaflets when they see them, but some people will still look at what is written on the leaflets.

It is not necessary for those people to change sides immediately after reading the leaflet, but only to plant a seed in their hearts and slowly sprout in the future until the day they grow up.

The Manchu Dynasty's enslavement education lasted for hundreds of years, and it was not possible to transform the Han people from Manchu slaves to "citizens" of the country overnight, and the so-called Confucianism of loyalty and patriotism firmly blocked the Han people's minds, all of which took time to break one by one.

Yan Xueyi's intelligence department also has a key propaganda target, that is, the 100,000 new army that Li Hongzhang is preparing to train.

In order to train 100,000 new troops, Li Hongzhang not only hired the British as instructors, but also purchased a large number of advanced firearms, spending millions of taels of silver.

Anyway, whatever the British said, Li Hongzhang basically did it, all in order to train an elite army, and even to establish an officer academy, with the British as teachers, to teach generals how to command battles.

As a result, the new army, which had not yet recruited Qi people, became the focus of the intelligence department's propaganda, and the intelligence department sent a large number of military-gifted agents to forge identity information to enter the new army, on the one hand, propaganda "expel the Tartars, restore my Han family!" On the one hand, let the agents show their military talents, and with the help of the Ministry of Intelligence, they can get as high a position as possible in the new army.

Earlier, when Yan Xueyi learned that Li Hongzhang was going to train the new army, he had a very speechless feeling, thinking that Li Hongzhang was dying.

Seriously, if the 100,000 new army is trained with the help of the British, the strength will indeed be very strong, although it can't catch up with the Han army, which has been expanding, but it is still possible to defeat Yuben, Tsarist Russia, and France on the mainland.

However, there is one thing that everyone has not thought of except for Yan Xueyi, a person who has the memory of two lives.

In the previous life, after losing the First Sino-Japanese War, the Manchu Qing Dynasty began to imitate Germany and the new army, and when forming and training the new army, some enlightened local officials, such as Zhang Zhidong and Duanfang, paid attention to recruiting educated young people to enlist in the army.

At the same time, revolutionaries such as Huang Xing and Song Jiaoren paid attention to carrying out military movements, secretly sending revolutionaries to the new army, such as Wu Luzhen, Zhao Sheng, Sun Wu, and so on, and these revolutionaries in the army were on standby and waiting for an opportunity to launch an uprising.

Wuchang Shouyi is the uprising of the new army, and then the response to the two provinces of Shaanxi and Hunan, is the uprising of the new army, and then the uprising of the new army in Xixi, Puhui, Susu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Shanxi, Siqi, Yunnan, Guizhou and other places are also the uprising of the new army, except for the Shanghi, Guangdong, and Guangxi Xinhai revolutionary uprisings, which are mainly based on the people's army and business groups, the uprisings in other places are mainly new army uprisings, and the Xinhai Revolution can also be said to be a new army uprising of unprecedented scale.

The fact that the new army organized and trained by the Manchus actually formed a main force to overthrow the Manchus was something that the Manchus did not expect at all.

Now Li Hongzhang began to train the new army in 1883, and the British still served as instructors, and most of the things in the training of the new army were done according to the instructions of the British.

In this way, Li Hongzhang's new army has become a bit similar to the new army trained by the Manchu Qing after the First Sino-Japanese War in the previous life, the new army can get in touch with the open mind of the Western world, and at the same time a large number of agents are mixed in, and finally this new army may also become one of the main forces to overthrow the Manchu Qing as it was in the previous life, of course, the real main force to overthrow the Manchu Qing in this world is the Han army, no matter how strong the new army is, it will not be stronger than the Han army, and even in the end, the new army trained by Li Hongzhang will also become a part of the Han army, these are unknown.

In any case, Yan Xueyi's intelligence department sent a large number of agents into the new army trained by Li Hongzhang, preparing to use the phrase "expel the Tartars and restore my Han family!" The new officers and soldiers were transformed into fighters who overthrew the Manchus, so that the new army became the new army of the Han Chinese, and the enemy became the Manchu Tartars.

In this way, a propaganda war led by Yan Xueyi's intelligence department is slowly unfolding, and we must use the public opinion offensive to completely break the last hope of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and in this propaganda war, let more people change their camps and turn to their own side, so as to prepare for the reunification of the whole country in the future.

This is a war that cannot see the smoke of gunpowder, but the outcome of this war has long been determined, the Manchu Tartars can enslave the Han people for hundreds of years, but they cannot enslave the Han people forever, their fate has long been doomed, they have to pay for their ancestors for those Han ancestors who died tragically (it is too cheap for them to die directly, it is better to be coolies until they die of exhaustion).
