Although the words are good, but in fact, there is another more important one, that is, before the war starts, public opinion comes first!
The world is big, but what is important is a rational word, the so-called straightness is strong, even if it is just a reason, it is also a kind of inner support.
Since ancient times, there have been many texts on crusading against rebellion, which is to build momentum and a reason.
King Wu cut down the Emperor, but it was for the King of Zhou, but it was punished by Heaven and the reason of the Zhou Dynasty; Chengzu raised troops in Beiping, which was for the Qing monarch's side, Kuang Fu Sheji, and for Chengzu to raise troops on behalf of Jianwen.
Historically, there are countless such things, and this word has not changed substantially because of the changes of the times, at most it is a change of soup rather than a change of medicine, and its essence is also to build momentum, to pursue peace of mind for everyone, for most people or a kind of incitement.
Zhu Jian personally sat in Shanhaiguan, secretly watching everything that happened in the eastern Liaodong region, he even knew that it was imperative to build momentum, and if the Ming Dynasty wanted to fight, he would have to fight confidently, and let himself stand on the commanding heights of morality!
Go and make the enemy frightened and the people fanatical!
This is public opinion.
Song Xiance is the Minister of Propaganda of the Imperial Party, adhering to the holy will, in charge of the trend of public opinion in the entire empire.
In Shanhaiguan, the yamen was temporarily commanded.
Song Xiance was entrusted by the emperor, but he summoned Liu Ruozai, the chief writer of the Imperial Party Affairs Newspaper, Chen Yutai, the chief writer of the Imperial Propaganda Newspaper, and Chen Zilong, the editor-in-chief of Daming Books and Periodicals, to gather together to discuss how to build momentum.
If you want to say that these people here, they are by no means idle, Liu Ruozai, the chief writer of the imperial party affairs newspaper, is the champion of the first year of Chongzhen, and his person Liu Ruozai was born in a scholarly family, with quick writing and thinking, and he is a strange person, so Zhu Jian is the director of the imperial propaganda department and the chief writer of the party affairs newspaper, but he is directly controlling the empire's public opinion manufacturing trend.
And several other people, such as the imperial propaganda department chief Chen Yutai is the champion of Chongzhen's four years, and now the imperial school education and the imperial examination system are carried out simultaneously, but the way of the imperial examination is no longer confined to the essence of the four books and five classics, current affairs, virtuous and square, outspoken advice, etc., but it is also the gospel of the scholars in the empire, and at the same time, it has also injected countless fresh blood into the Ming Empire.
......
In Shanhaiguan, the public opinion of the Ming Empire is still brewing, and at this moment, in the land of Liaodong, the Great War I is already imminent.
Outside Liaoyang City, a large army is ready, and when an order is given, it is to take this Liaoyang City directly.
"Lord Belle, when will the offensive begin?"
Seeing that Liaoyang City was just a stone's throw away, the Jialae Zhen Chamukun on the side was obviously a little excited, it had been three years, and this was the time since they left this place, and they returned here again.
Every mountain, every piece of water, is so nostalgic, Dolgon had promised that one day he would bring them back, and today he really came back.
"There is no urgency in this matter, and we will know when the news comes from the city! By the way, send the order down and tell Yue Tuo that his soldiers and horses must closely monitor Abatai's movements! ā
"Huh!"
Night is coming, at this moment in Liaoyang City, Niu Lu Ashdarhan Mansion.
"Lord Ashdarhan, my master said that after this matter is completed, all the old land of Yehe that the lord needs will be owned by the adult, and the master of my family will take the adult as the new master of Yehe, and form an alliance together!"
"Oh, Lord Belle is really polite, how can I Darhan, how can I dare to take Yehe's land as the master of a family, Yehe has already returned to Jianzhou for a long time, I, Darhan, help Lord Belle here, but I only need a piece of land to support the elderly, as for the lord of Yehe, I dare not ask for extravagance, Darhan is only willing to be Lord Belle's eternal servant, and it is enough to guard this land for Lord Belle."
In the face of what he said, Ashdarhan was busy with a panicked face, but it was the way.
"By the way, when I go back, tell Lord Belle that things in the city can reassure him, and when the fire is the signal, my city gate will be wide open, and Lord Belle will be able to drive in!"
......
Midnight fell, and Liaoyang City was shrouded in night, but it was still as quiet as ever.
The place where the Han flag is stationed in the city is different from the Jurchens, but it is located in a corner of the western city, although Ma Guangyuan is the Liaoyang guard, but after all, he is a Han people, and he is still inferior in the face of the Jurchens.
"Today, above the starry sky, there is a white tiger committing a crime, but there is a military incident that is about to start, which should be an unlucky appearance!"
Xicheng military camp, at this moment, Ma Guangyuan stood with his hands in his hands, looking up at the starry sky, but he was not shocked.
"My lord, when the last general was in the Ming Dynasty in his early years, he met a foreigner, and I heard him talk about this astronomy, in this galaxy, the sun and the moon have their own laws, but there is no need for my lord!"
The person who spoke was Zhang Cunren of the Han Banner Mailer, who was a deputy general in the Liaodong Army in his early years, and later defected to Huang Taiji, who was reused by him, and successively served as the Ministry of Industry and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"Lord Zhang, this ancestor has handed down something, it is better to believe it than to believe it! Is there anything unusual in the city today? ā
Hearing that Ma Guangyuan mentioned the word ancestor in his mouth, Zhang Cunren didn't sneer at it, and took refuge in Houjin, it can be said that he had already lost his ancestor, at this time Ma Guangyuan also mentioned the word ancestor to him, isn't this ridiculous and generous!
But this smile is laughing, now that they are sitting in Liaoyang, they can't tolerate the slightest sloppiness.
"My lord, everything is fine in my western city, nothing is wrong, as for the eastern part of the city, hey......"
Speaking of this, Zhang Cunxiao sighed unconsciously, to say that this Dongcheng is the residence of the Manchurian bannermen, don't say that he Zhang Cunxiao can't manage it, even Ma Guangyuan, who is the general of Liaoyang and is nominally responsible for the defense of the entire Liaoyang, does not have this right.
Regarding Zhang Cunxiao's sigh, Ma Guangyuan naturally understood, but it was the way.
"Either way, no matter what. Leave it alone in the affairs of the eastern city, but tell the brethren that the whole army is on guard today in case of an incident in the city! ā
......
The sub-hour is the time when the rats go out, and it is often the time when people feel the most stuck.
"Oh no, it's on fire! It's on fire! ā
Ma Guangyuan couldn't sleep for a while, but he suddenly woke up, opened his eyes suddenly, but was busy running out of the tent.
At this moment, what appeared in front of Ma Guangyuan was full of fire!
There was a crackling sound, mixed with shouts, but it was extremely chaotic.
"Lord Zhang! General Zhang! ā
Faced with this sudden situation, Ma Guangyuan was busy shouting Zhang Cunxiao, but it was because before he fell asleep, Zhang Cunxiao took the initiative to change the post.
"My lord! My lord! Oh no, no! ā
At this moment, a grizzled man came straight towards Ma Guangyuan's tent, but it was Zhang Cunxiao of Hanqi Meile.
"Lord Zhang! What happened, why did there suddenly catch fire here, and there was a faint sound of shouting and killing! ā
"Return...... My lord, just now, what a ...... Dorgon attacked the east gate and went straight to kill ..... It's over, get on your horse, and follow ..... Rush out with the last general! ā
"What?! Dolgon's East Gate enters! Isn't he supposed to be on his way to Zhenbei Pass?! By the way, what about Darhan! ā
In the face of this sudden news, Ma Guangyuan was not shocked, and was busy asking about Darhan.
"My lord, why Dolgon appeared here is unknown to the last general, and as for Darhan, it is ...... This is the same Darhan who opened the east gate and welcomed Dolgon into the city! It's too late, so let's go with the general! ā
"Either way, no matter what! Gather the remnants of the army and rush out together! ā
