Tianjin American Concession, Yang Hao's lair.

As the battle for Caozhou Mansion began, the sound of a ticking telegraph began to ring non-stop in the combat command room in the core area.

Yang Hao buried it in one step, as if he had entered the command center of the Tubalu headquarters, and the strange feeling of crossing time and space made him can't help but get goosebumps all over his body.

Especially after watching a series of anti-Japanese dramas, I found that the Eight Roads are becoming more and more foreign, and all kinds of high-end and high-grade weapons and equipment have come through time and space, and even the M134 Minigang has gone into battle. This little devil was able to hold out for eight years before being kicked out, how much suffering he had to suffer!

is watching his own headquarters, which is even more awesome than a divine drama. The lights are brilliant, the equipment is new, the program-controlled telephone exchange is the total, and the wireless telegraph communication is the world, so there is a high-altitude UAV on-site monitoring and satellite communication...... Well, a bit of an exaggeration. But it's not bad compared to the world powers a few decades later.

After a little glance at the previous report, Yang Hao was sure in his heart that this time Yuan Shikai was afraid that he would suffer a loss.

Xu Yanzhuo's working group was not simple, and in addition to instructors who were good at demagogic people and scouts who were able to act alone in the field, they also had special training in guerrilla tactics. Thinking that the unarmed Tubalu guerrillas back then could be entangled and guerrilla with the fierce Japanese army for so long, Yuan Shikai led a group of raw melons and eggs to find trouble, purely looking for the south wall to touch.

No matter how wasteful the people of the Broadsword Society are, they are all fierce people, and they are bold and dare to fight, and after they have guns, whether they can be accurate or not, they are already a great threat to the troops.

Most importantly, they are familiar with the terrain. The natives of Hongo know to drill into that ditch and run fast. Dig traps. Get a trap. Shoot black guns and cold arrows. Day and night, they are frightened and disturbed along the way, destroying traffic arteries and polluting food and drinking water...... All kinds of tricks emerge one after another. Coupled with the temporarily excavated fortifications, the Qing army could not scare people as long as they came up, and then some tossed.

What's more, can Yang Hao let the Qing army kill people and set fires happily? Not that cheap!

After going around and finding a qiē as usual. Yang Hao believes that there is no problem with the personnel operating in front of him for the time being. After communication, it was determined that the forces of the Jiaodong base began to advance westward, with the forward approaching Yizhou Mansion and going north out of Zhucheng to defend Qingzhou, ready to deal with the incoming army at any time.

"Without 100,000 new troops, don't try to knock on our door."

Yang Hao turned back to his office and began to write and revise an article.

Zhou Jianho waited beside him, sticking his head over from time to time to read the content. After a few glances, his brows condensed into a pimple, and his face was extremely strange.

Yang Hao looked up at him. smiled: "Do you think this article tastes weird, it seems to make sense at first glance." But if you think about it carefully, it's plausible, and people can't help but think badly, and they are deceived unconsciously? ”

Zhou Jianhao is not good at lying, so he said stubbornly: "I think that the article is written in such a way that it will cause chaos." Shouldn't we steer public opinion on the right path? ”

Yang Hao nodded approvingly: "You can see it very accurately." Indeed, this kind of writing will cause great repercussions for a certain period of time, and many people who do not know the truth can easily be fooled and clamoured. But if there is too much tossing, it will inevitably be reversed, and after causing more people to be tired and disgusted, no one will believe it. If I don't write it, someone will write it in the future, so it's better to just stuff the public's appetite first, so that they can't find a chance and cut off the troubles! ”

What did Yang Hao write? To sum it up, four words -- "What is the matter of this country, the loss of the general people, I ponder and ask the question."

In this world, there was a time when articles on this theme stirred up domestic public opinion and misled the thinking and consciousness of a large number of people. But they used too much, too much, and as the arrogant and overly well-known elites were revealed, they immediately stinked on the street!

However, I have to admit that under certain conditions, the summary of these four words is very demagogic, and it often gives many people who do not know the truth a feeling of enlightenment.

And Yang Hao was very suitable in the battle against the Manchu Qing.

Zhou Jianhao felt awkward no matter how he thought about it, so he could only shake his head and sigh: "I still think that we should correctly guide public opinion, and now we have too much impact on them, I'm afraid it will backfire." ”

Yang Hao smiled: "It's useful or not, you have to try it first to know." At least let everyone have a familiar process, which is better than being used by others later, and we were caught off guard. ”

In essence, the essence of this kind of article is to use a seemingly irrefutable fact as an introduction to create a thinking trap to guide the reader's thinking to a fork in the road, and then finally dig deep into the root cause of the system.

So what if there is no evidence to base it on? It doesn't matter, just make one up. Freedom of public opinion, nonsense is still convicted for words, do you want to engage in literary prison?

There are too many idlers in the Qing Kingdom who will let go of their mouths and cannons, and as soon as the imperial court said that they wanted to change the law, they immediately wrote books one after another, making it a miasma. However, most of them are positive construction yì and the like, no matter how empty the writing is, he still revolves around a core of "loyalty to the Qing Dynasty".

This is not a good phenomenon, how can Yang Hao let the Qing court gather the hearts of the people? He decisively sacrificed this killer feature, created some chaos, tested the Qing court's reaction ability, and found something to do for the idle Qingliu people.

So the next day, a multi-concocted article was freshly released and made the front page headlines of the "National News".

“…… The imperial court organized and trained a new type of army, which was originally set up to defend the country. Today, what is the purpose of waving a cutting-edge blade at the people? ”

“…… Although the Dadaohui civil society is not a legal armed group, we should clearly see that the object of their struggle is the bandits who are rampant in the countryside to burn and plunder, but they do not disturb the neighbors in the slightest and endanger the people. On the contrary, it is precisely because of their active role that the state capital of Nuoda is peaceful and orderly. So the question is, what was the government doing during the long period of banditry? ”

"I have to suspect that it is precisely because of the inaction of the government that it has led to the emergence of chaotic forces among the people. And when people voluntarily defend the safety of their lives and property. but to bring such calamity. I can't help but ask. What the hell is wrong with this country? Why is it always civilians who suffer? The government, as the ruling power, is unable to guarantee the most basic rights and interests of its citizens. But it is necessary to take more severe measures against their actions in self-defense. Why? ”

"Thinking of the reform of the law that has been clamoring for the whole country for several months, it seems that people have to wonder, is this a systemic problem? What kind of political reform should be needed to completely put an end to this kind of human tragedy? How can we get the people out of this helpless predicament? I couldn't help but ponder. ”

From beginning to end, the article does not propose a solution to the problem. This is extremely rare in the articles published by Yang Hao since his debut.

In the past, his articles also asked a lot of questions, but more often than not, they prescribed medicines. For everyone's reference and thought. Today, it was published as such a strange article, but I don't know what the purpose is.

But no matter what he planned, such an article was originally like this, always picking bones in the egg to stir up problems, but never giving a solution. In later generations, that was the most accustomed practice of the public elite. In the Great Qing Kingdom, it was the favorite way of writing for Qingliu scholars.

Therefore, although this article is rare from the inside to the outside, it is still sought after by countless people. The scholars and talents whose literary accomplishment is 100 times higher than Yang Hao can skillfully grasp the essence of it after reading it thoroughly. Summarize the twelve mantras.

Li Hongzhang, who was pretending to be sick at home, had been paying attention to the progress of the situation, and when he saw Yang Hao's article, he burst into laughter. said to Luo Fenglu, who was waiting next to him: "This little bastard is too bad!" I don't know how many people have to go around for him. Hey, it looks like the emperor is going to have a headache again! ”

Luo Fenglu didn't feel anything at first, he originally thought that Yang Hao's article was a big failure, and even a bit of bullshit. After listening to Li Hongzhang's words, he was shocked, hurriedly read through it several times, suddenly came back to his senses, and scolded angrily: "Yang Dingshi has bad intentions, despicable and shameless!" ”

Although he is not a clear backbone like Zhang Peilun, he is also a scholar with a clear heart. figured out the disadvantages of Yang Hao's style, and immediately became angry.

You must know that today's Yang Hao is famous and can be called a vernacular literary master, and I don't know how many people regard him as an idol.

He is now clamoring in this way, which is tantamount to giving everyone a breakthrough to hold the court accountable, and one or two may not dare to talk nonsense. But don't forget, there is no shortage of stunned young people in all dynasties! Now it's hard to raise a literary prison, and you can't stop the illegal publications all over the streets, even the "Guowen Bao" and foreigners' newspapers can be published, and there will always be people who end up asking fatal questions!

Institutional problems!

In the final analysis, the Manchu Qing were barbarians and Hu people in power, and since ancient times, they have been said to have "no luck for a hundred years", so that they have always been strictly guarded against the orthodox forces dominated by other Han people.

Previously, Yang Hao's subtle influence in a year has made many people realize the backwardness and decay of his regime, but today's broken article will definitely be extended to the legitimacy of the Manchu rule!

Once the whole country is questioning, the root cause of the current series of tragedies is the rule of the Manchus. Then the so-called reform of the law will not only have to leak out, but all kinds of opposition forces will inevitably swarm up. The dignified Chinese kingdom gave a little Japan the virtue of bullying, and even more when he entered the house, he was holding his stomach!

This is the deadly means to destroy the foundation of the imperial court!

Luo Fenglu then asked Li Hongzhang in surprise: "Fu Xiang is not angry?" You have worked hard all your life to maintain the dignity of the country, so Yang Hao ...... do this. ”

Li Hongzhang waved his hand: "So far, it doesn't matter if you are angry or not." Let's wait and see how the court reacts. The way of this world is not up to people! ”

Luo Fenglu thought silently, and gradually came back to his senses. In any case, Yang Hao has now tied the Li family in Hefei to his chariot. Li Hongzhang couldn't get down at all, and he refused to admit defeat. The imperial court used Yuan Shikai, who had turned his back on his master, to lead the Dingwu army, making it clear that he wanted to fight with the new army led by Li Jingfang. Which one is close, do you need to say?

Li Hongzhang didn't speak, and the people of his faction were silent.

But the other people's mouths can't be controlled. Sun Dacang, who had already gone to Hawaii, soon received an article that was transferred to an American newspaper, and he was overjoyed and wrote an article in which he directly questioned the legitimacy of Manchu rule, and affirmed that it was their perverse behavior that led to a series of humiliations in China today. Only by overthrowing the Manchu Qing can China become strong and prosperous!

The scholars who gathered in the capital city of Chunfu had an example to follow, and they did not dare to say that directly, but they went down and made a big fuss about the system.

As you can imagine, a large number of bold people soon popped up and proposed a constitutional monarchy; There are not a few people who point directly at the Queen Mother of the West! All kinds of reasons are firing at the inherent ethnic structure of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

The Manchu rule, on the surface, was highly concentrated in the hands of one person, but its foundation was the foundation of the Eight Banners. No matter who becomes the emperor, it is necessary to ensure that the interests of the entire ethnic group are not harmed, which is an absolutely unshakable premise.

In their bones, they are still the shelf of a group of tribal alliances.

If, according to a group of scholars, it would be good to hold Emperor Guangxu high alone, then the ruling power of the imperial court would fall into the hands of Han officials. Who can allow this?

Now, it's a hornet's nest! (To be continued......)
