Chapter 040: Set things right

Zhu Youxiao has said everything about this, and if Li Jinzhong is not sober anymore, it will be hopeless. As a eunuch who had common interests with the emperor, Li Jinzhong also collected his thoughts and began to concentrate on doing things for the emperor.

Li Jinzhong came to the Dongchang prison and tortured Wang An. Wang An, who knew that he couldn't live, no matter how Li Jinzhong tortured, he refused to confide in the slightest words, which made Li Jinzhong jump like thunder, and went into battle in person, and he was soldering iron and whipping fiercely, and all kinds of torture were used on Wang An one by one, but it still had no effect.

"Huh! Hehe! Even if I, Wang An, die, you will never be happy. Wang An, who had been tortured to death, suddenly burst into a low laugh, and then a stream of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

"Factory father, he bit his tongue and committed suicide." After inspecting the Qianhu of Dongchang, who was in charge of Xingjiao, he reported to Li Jinzhong.

"Cheap, get rid of him!" Li Jinzhong was in a very bad mood, and then returned to the palace to report to the emperor nervously.

"If you can't ask, forget it, it doesn't make a difference whether he Wang An says it or not, those who are hiding behind, can I still not guess?" Zhu Youxiao knew in his heart, and it was really not a big difference if he could ask it, but he couldn't lock the few rat feces at the core of the Donglin Party too specifically.

"I have something more important for you to do." Zhu You said to Li Jinzhong.

"Please show the emperor." Li Jinzhong listened attentively, and Zhu Youxiao said: "I want to set up a special ideological education department to train instructors. ”

Zhu Youxiao asked Li Jinzhong to say something, in fact, it was to set up a department specifically responsible for brainwashing.

Brainwashing is a profound science, and sometimes the brainwashed people don't even know that they have been brainwashed. Just like the young people of later generations before joining the army, they all knew the word 'brainwashing', but they entered the army, not only were they successfully brainwashed, but also insisted that they were not brainwashed, the instructor said, we are not brainwashed, your brains are so smart, can anyone be brainwashed?

The so-called brainwashing is to put forward a point of view, and then persuade logically. In the process of persuasion, it is necessary to instill unique values, worldview, and outlook on life.

The three views are the support points for logical persuasion.

If you want to brainwash a person in a distorted way, then you need to quote the strange three views. And the richer a person's experience (including the accumulation of concepts), the stronger the person's ability to consciously discriminate, intercept these false and unhealthy information, so that this information does not enter the subconscious.

The subconscious mind is a place that has no ability to discriminate, and is responsible for processing emotional information, requiring the main consciousness to act as a 'gatekeeper' and make judgments on information.

Just like people of different ages watching a meteor garden, they will have different results. Older people are confronted with a flood of unrealistic information that is filtered out of an adult's consciousness. Because of the large number, consciousness warns that the information sent by the source is unhealthy. This causes disgust among adults (only the experienced ones). However, due to the lack of experience, many students guide the overloaded information contained in it into the subconscious, thus causing emotional fluctuations, while the intentionally arranged information produces a hypnotic effect, making many students fall in love with this play.

Generally, those who will be brainwashed are basically young people. There are those who exploit young people's dissatisfaction with the status quo in society and then point the culprits at their enemies for all sorts of incitement. Just like the revolutionary party of Sun Dacang in modern times, in order to overthrow the Beiyang government, it took advantage of the dissatisfaction of young people with the status quo, and then targeted the Beiyang government to carry out various attacks.

At this time, those merchant groups in Jiangnan, as well as the Donglin Party they raised, often did such things.

Something went wrong here, and immediately a basin was buckled on the emperor's head, which was caused by the emperor's mediocrity. What's wrong over there, oh! It was caused by the emperor's extravagance and wanton tax increases.

Anyway, the emperor is an open target, and anyone can shoot a few arrows.

Even Donglin Party officials, in fact, most of them were brainwashed in this way. The strictest thing in brainwashing is values, talking all day long, hiding wealth from the people, and throttling or something. But when it comes to open source, it's hard to talk about.

The merchant class began to brainwash the cultural elements, and then the cultural elements brainwashed the emperor, and then achieved the goal of controlling the imperial power.

Zhu Youxiao naturally needs to set things right, so he also needs a brainwashing department.

Previously, Zhu Youxiao set up a teaching team in the army, which was a very hasty product.

This time, Zhu Youxiao was fully prepared, personally compiled various teaching materials, and formulated a systematic brainwashing theory, but his brainwashing theory was not based on deception, but on the basis of facts, and the success rate of brainwashing was extremely high.

Zhu Youxiao first drew a map of the world from memory and compiled a book of "World Geography", in which all the five continents and seven oceans were listed, and he highlighted the vast and rich land and sea outside of China. This is used to build a complete world view and broaden horizons.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao put forward the 'Han nationalism', which influenced values and outlook on life. For this reason, Zhu Youxiao has begun to ask people to revise the relatively straightforward "A Brief History of the Han Nation", focusing on describing the advanced nature of the Han nation's civilization and various histories of blood and tears in history, arousing people's pride and indignation against the barbaric civilization. And then inculcate the value of 'national interests above one qiē'. In terms of outlook on life, it also revolves around 'Han nationalism'.

At the same time, put forward the idea of loyalty, put forward the view that "the Ming dynasty has the most righteous in the world", compared with those dynasties in history, the Zhu family is indeed the most upright, using the founding process of the previous dynasties to discuss, so as to come to the view that "the Ming royal family represents the orthodoxy of the Han family". And put forward the view that 'the Zhu family is from the common people and is still loyal to the people', and discussed it on countless grounds, such as light taxation and so on.

Finally, it is a discussion of the bad status quo and finding out the culprit. What caused the current military defeat of the Ming Dynasty and the misery of the internal people? Tong guò discusses the commodity economy and state taxation, so as to target the private businessmen who are frantically digging into the corners of the country.

In this regard, Zhu Youxiao personally revised the textbook and quoted a lot of Marx's expositions on capital.

So as to clarify the facts and find the target.

The brainwashing content involved in these textbooks covers world view, values, and outlook on life, as well as a discussion of the current situation, as long as it can be popularized, it can achieve the effect of 'putting things in order', and 'prescribe the right medicine' for the current 'ideological confusion' in the Ming Dynasty.

As long as more and more people accept this set of ideas, and finally become the mainstream, we will be able to 'unify the world'.

The workload of revising the textbooks was a bit heavy, so Zhu Youxiao needed assistance, and Li Jinzhong quickly took action, and selected a few eunuchs with high cultural Cheng Cheng in the inner study hall to start revising the textbooks together.

At the same time, the 'Department of Political and Education' was established, and eunuchs were first selected from the inner study room for study, and at the same time, officers with a certain level of education were selected from the Tengxiang and Wuxiang cavalry divisions to enter the study.

During this time, the cultural classes of the cavalry division were carried out, and the number of literate soldiers increased every day. This is also related to whether these soldiers can become the necessary conditions for the first class soldiers, in order to become a senior soldier, it is necessary to have a certain level of education, and the number of literate words must reach 1,000 common words.

The first version of the 'Pinyin Dictionary' edited by Neishutang has also been completed, and although it is not yet perfect, it has greatly facilitated the cultural self-study of the soldiers. At the same time, punctuation was popularized in the teaching materials of soldiers learning culture.

This kind of ideological indoctrination has been in the hands of Confucian literati before. But now this set of ideas has been transformed into a shackle on imperial power by the Donglin Party for 'Tanuki for the Prince', which has caused a situation of ideological confusion. Zhu Youxiao's self-created ideological indoctrination system was to deprive Confucianism of its hegemonic position in ideological indoctrination.
