When the crown prince went out of the city, hundreds of thousands of people saw each other off in the city, and the prince's remarks on the military parade and the oath of the Northern Expedition were also spread throughout the city for a while.

Fang Yizhi and Deputy Director of the Information Department of the Generalissimo's Mansion were waiting for Fang Yu to be busy with stinky death, and a group of officials and miscellaneous servants were even more busy until they were in all directions, until before dark, the briefings on the previous invasions of the Eastern Prisoners were printed into a booklet, with five or six thousand copies, with pictures and texts, and they were distributed free of charge on the main roads of the city gates and cities!

This idea can be regarded as a grand event that Daming has never had!

During the period from Wanli to the Apocalypse, the so-called "Demon Book" case was very popular, and the situation at that time was just that someone wrote this book and secretly threw dozens of copies on the street, and then naturally became interested and secretly copied it. For a while, the intellectual class of Jingshi, who had never read the demon book, was afraid that they were embarrassed to greet people.

However, the so-called demon book is just nonsense, and the demon words confuse the public, and there are wise people, of course, they will regard it as a rumor, and stop when they see it.

Anyway, no one will take this kind of nonsense made up and not really understand the court and government at all, as a real experience.

That is, some Donglin gentlemen, intentionally or unintentionally, will make up lies and deliberately turn black into white. They are the mouths of readers, and they have been passed down from generation to generation, so that some obvious lies have become unbreakable truths in later generations.

In the official name, at least, it is in the name of the Generalissimo's Office Information Department to publish the news, and the big seal of the red notice is stamped on it, and the same as the Di Bao, the Gongmen Copy, and the Kumontang Newspaper, are all official proclamations recognized and issued by the government, but the form of release is more vivid.

At least, at this stage, every day the Generalissimo's Office Information Department will publish the latest news and newspapers, and every once in a while, a pamphlet will be printed and distributed free of charge in the main roads in the city, and the adjacent Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, Changzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion and other places not far away will also be set up by the Information Department to send newspapers, and every day the news will be delivered by the 600-mile urgent messenger of the Generalissimo's Office.

In this way, in terms of public opinion, the crown prince can be regarded as grasping the pulse of the Jiangnan gentry, and later, everyone knew why the prince would spend a lot of money on such things when the money was very tight.

You must know that in order to make the newspapers of the Information Department look good and quickly open up the situation, free of charge and printed in the first class, and with beautiful pictures, the crown prince has paid no less than 100,000 yuan of silver himself, from the master of engraving to the steward, to the typesetting version, and the cutting of paper and color, just to hire these miscellaneous technicians, there are more than 100 people in Nanjing alone.

Isn't this cost, combined with the daily printing of newspapers, a small expense?

With such a huge investment, the results are certainly extraordinary. Fang Yizhi and Hou Fang Yu did other things or didn't do much, but they wrote simple and boring official affairs and military intelligence into pictures and texts and looked elegant and vulgar news, at this point, the two of them came to do it, it was simply a godsend, and they specialized in doing this!

For a time, the great talents of the two information departments were also in the limelight, and the number of people who knew them doubled when they walked on the street.

………… This day was busy until dark, and the two of them were able to stretch their waists, and the bones of their bodies were crackling, Fang Yizhi squinted at Fang Yu and said with a smile: "How?" ”

Hou Fangyu shook his head and replied with a smile: "Tired is tired...... "The books sent out today are nearly 6,000 volumes, from words to drawings, all of them are checked by these two people, and in terms of words, it is the two of them who polish it with one hand, tens of thousands of words, all sides, the past wars, for the two wandering boys, it is also a level that has never been contacted.

"But ......"

"Ding's river house still has to go!"

The two looked at each other and laughed, and stood up together, as if they had returned to the time when they were on the Qinhuai River, chasing joy and laughing.

Although the war was defeated, and although the state affairs were bad, there was never the danger of losing the country, especially in the south, which has been quiet and quiet, coupled with the rise of maritime trade, the influx of silver, the rich and arrogant and indulgent scholar class, and the people in the Restoration Society are the representative figures.

At that time, everyone was entertaining with poetry and wine, and Liu Rushi, Gu Mei, Kou Baimen, Li Xiangjun, Chen Yuanyuan, Dong Xiaowan and other celebrities were also very close, and I don't know how many people were envious of them to death!

Up to now, except for one Kou Baimen who did not end up, many stunning colors also have their own destinations, and Gu Mei and Gong Dingyu returned south with each other, Liu Ru heard about it, and pulled the beard of the old money head to force the other party to let go, tonight the group of females has this Hedong Jun summoned, and everyone who wants to come to the meeting is very together, except for one Chen Yuanyuan, they should all be present.

Such a grand event, and Gong Dingyu is in touch with each other, and it is impossible for these two talented people to go home and sleep with peace of mind.

At that moment, the two of them laughed and got up, came out of the information department of the Generalissimo's Mansion, went out of the gate, and went to the side of the tethered horse stone, and the people in the palace greeted them, handed over their clothes and bags, and the two of them took off their official robes in the dark, took off their black gauze hats, and put on their heads, all of them were sapphire blue silk robes, each of them was holding a folding fan with an ivory handle, and it was needless to say that they were dashing, and at this time, they turned over and straddled the horse, and they were about to leave.

"Mark it for the two adults."

In the dark, there were two groups of soldiers around the corner, a small officer with them, which seemed to be exactly the number of fourteen people, and it was a serious forbidden army under the guard, led by a thousand on the spot, to salute the two young officers in the costumes.

"Huh!" Fang Yizhiqi said: "What is this for?" ”

"Back to the adults," the shed chief said with a smile: "This is the order of the military and political secretary to stay behind the adults, from now on, the shed fourteen soldiers, one shed chief, two deputy shed chiefs, seventeen people, all equipped with war horses, divided into two classes, will be called by the two adults." Of course, our main job is to keep the two adults safe. ”

"Why so."

Fang Yizhi said with a smile: "The deputy Si Zheng you left behind also have too many things...... In the city of Nanjing, it is still peaceful, and there are few thieves and thieves, let alone thieves with knives and sticks. I wait for the two of us, and there are usually a few people who come out with us, so why do you need to do this? ”

"This ......"

The head of the forbidden army shed looked embarrassed, and before he could answer, Hou Fangyu was very impatient, and put on the face of everyone's son: "If you really want someone to follow, when I came out, it was not difficult to follow a hundred-person cavalry team, why bother to put this kind of score now?" Revenge on your family, don't be so troublesome. Thank you for your kindness, please come back. ”

"Hey!" was said by these two people, the head of the forbidden army also looked like he was out of the way, and he stomped his feet at the moment, and only said: "Two adults, this is in the imperial city, you don't know yet, and when you go out, you will understand." If, after tonight, we say that we don't want to escort us, we will be ordered to go back and hand in the errand. ”

As soon as they said this, the two of them knew that there must be a reason, and when they lowered their faces, they each got on their horses, but they did not drive these soldiers back.

From the Generalissimo's Mansion all the way down, not far away, it is Hongwumen in sight.

Along the way, except for a lot of officials and officials on duty who passed by with official documents and looked at them a few more times, there seemed to be nothing unusual, Fang Yizhi smiled, just wanted to say something, but he saw that outside the gate of the imperial city, it seemed that a lot of people had gathered.

His heart moved, and he wondered: "What's going on?" What is going to happen when so many people are gathered? ”

Hou Fangyu also said: "It's very wrong, how can there be so many people here at this time in the past......"

Indeed, the sky is already dark, the common people, lighting the lamp is a shameful waste, unless it is a busy farming rice, either the silkworms are ripe day and night, or spinning and processing, anyway, there is no serious business and it is not a scholar's family, at this time, eat dinner early, bare-chested in front of the door and gossip with people, and then close the door and go to bed early.

This scene, with so many people, and not on the Qinhuai River, is of course very strange.

"It's Lord Fang and Lord Hou!"

When the two of them were still hesitating, more than a hundred people had already rushed around the corner, first a little bit of light, and then dozens of lanterns converged into a dazzling light!

"Two adults, Marquis Wandai!"

An old man in a blue shirt, with white eyebrows, knelt down tremblingly in front of the two horses.

"Old man, how can this be?"

Of course, Fang and Hou were shocked and immediately jumped off their horses.

"You deserve it." The old man burst into tears, and only said: "The little old man is a native of Jinan Mansion, Shandong, originally a filial son and grandson, a family of dozens of people, harmonious and harmonious, Chongzhen 12 years, Dongyu entered the customs, Jinan originally said that it doesn't matter, the army went to defend Dezhou, who expected that Dongyu detoured in, Jinan Mansion only has more than 1,000 soldiers, how to stop it?" At that time, I heard the people in the city exclaim, "It is the pigtailed soldiers who have entered the city...... Then there was the constant sound of gongs and drums, and then there was no movement, but only the laughter of the Donglu and the screams and cries of our Han people could be heard...... Little Lao'er, I can't forget the situation at that time in this life, the whole family is closed, but I can't stop these beasts from crashing in...... The family is old and young, and there is only the old man and a grandson of the total age, if it weren't for him, the old man would have died a long time ago. Such a tragic scene, the imperial court only said in the newspaper, how many people know about the common people? Now in the south of the Yangtze River, the two adults wrote and printed, telling everyone about the situation of the East Captives, denouncing this kind of rate of beasts and cannibalism, no different from beasts, so scolding, hearty, the old man is very grateful, the family has no money to spare, only to eat with Sun, to thank the Lord for the family of the victims! ”

After all, it is to kowtow with a teenager, one old and one young, one with a bright head and white eyebrows, and a friend of the general horn, but when kowtowing, there is a bang, and it is actually a straight hit on the bluestone road!
