Because he had to wait for Chen Guoqi to raid his house, he was afraid that he would not be able to leave today, so Zhu Youcheng ordered to camp on the spot.

Sitting in the camp tent, Zhu Youcheng had mixed feelings, he was angry at the greedy and cruel Wang Ping, surprised by the prefect who sat back and watched the soldiers being insulted and indifferent, and even more sighed at the soldiers who were ignored, despised and discriminated against by the majority of the Ming people......

The military is the only means to safeguard the dignity of the country and protect the interests of the people. Soldiers are an important part of military strength, and maintaining the dignity of soldiers can improve the military superiority of the Ming Dynasty and remain invincible in the struggle against the enemy.

Thinking about it, Zhu Youcheng suddenly had a surge of thoughts, and he picked up a pen and wrote a line on the paper: Who is the cutest person.

Then he used affectionate brushstrokes to describe the Jinyi guards who fought hard and overcame strong enemies on the battlefields of eastern and southwestern Liaodong, and proved that they were the most lovely people in the Ming Dynasty with vivid examples.

Writing and writing, he remembered the martyrs who died before they got married, and tears welled up in his eyes, his throat felt as if something was blocked, and sobs sounded in his ears...... Hey, no, he was really moved, but to the point of crying, where did this crying come from? Could it be auditory hallucinations?

Zhu Youcheng turned his head and found that it was King Xin who was crying, and he seemed to be the first person to be moved by this article.

It turned out that he saw Zhu Youcheng writing an article, but King Xin didn't disturb him, and quietly sat beside him and watched him write an article.

Looking at it, King Shin's eyes turned red, and when he saw the end, he simply cried.

King Xin choked up and asked, "Brother Cheng, this article is really well written, can you not burn it?" ”

"Burn it? Why should I burn the article that I worked so hard to write? ”

"This should be an article to commemorate the sacrifice of the Jinyi guards. That's the sacrificial text, and no matter how exquisitely written the sacrificial text is, doesn't it have to be burned in the end? ”

Zhu Youcheng smiled. He said, "This is not a sacrificial text. I found that the Ming Dynasty looked down on the soldiers, believing them to be uneducated and rude. Ah, do you think they're right? ”

The point of hesitation of the king of letters, the so-called public mouth is golden. Although he has been fighting with the Jinyi guards for many years, he believes that there must be a reason for the incident, since the people of the Ming Dynasty discriminate against the soldiers, then the soldiers must have done something not good enough.

If someone else asked this, Xinwang Bacheng would refute it, but it was Zhu Youcheng who asked it, and Xinwang was embarrassed to say a different opinion.

Zhu Youcheng looked at King Xin's expression and knew that he might not be convinced, so he said, "Yes." I admit that there are indeed black sheep in the army, but are there no black sheep in other groups? It is not a wise man to blame an entire group for the bad deeds of one person. Besides, if soldiers knew that the people they were protecting were the ones who discriminated against them, would they still be willing to fight for them? ”

Shin nodded.

Zhu Youcheng continued: "The army is the pillar of a country, and without the army, the country will not be a country. There is no end to the home. And morale in the army is the most important, morale is high. Outnumbered, outnumbered. As far away as the Battle of Weishui, the 80,000 Beifu army broke through the million former Qin troops; Near Juehua Island, 5,000 Jinyi guards were able to withstand the attack of 60,000 Jiannu. Where does morale come from, first, the education within the army, and second, the environment outside the army. Now the Ming is in an eventful time, if the morale of the army is not raised. I am afraid that there is a danger of the destruction of the country and the extinction of the species. This article of mine is written for the whole Ming people, so that the people can gradually develop the habit of respecting the military and giving priority to military families, so as to improve the external environment of the army. ”

King Xin groaned, "Brother Cheng, you're right. Today's incident is completely the result of the Ming Dynasty's emphasis on literature and light on military force. If not. That Wang Ping is just a rich man in the countryside, how dare he make such excessive demands? Fortunately, he met Jinyiwei, who had strict military discipline, and had to rebel against other troops. If that happens, Huguang, the rich land of the Ming Dynasty, will suffer another military disaster. I must tell the emperor's brother that in the future, we must improve the treatment of soldiers and soldiers, so that they can have food and clothing, treat the injured, and support the disabled, so as to completely solve their worries......"

While speaking, Zhu Youcheng had already written the article.

After drying the ink and putting it in an envelope, Zhu Youcheng called a guard and ordered: "Eight hundred miles urgently, send it to Beijing, and hand it over to Wei ...... Give it to Lord Xu Siyue, the editor-in-chief of the "Di Bao" Supplement, and ask him to publish it as soon as possible. ”

Zhu Youcheng originally wanted the guards to hand it over directly to Wei Zhongxian and ask him to arrange a report. But thinking that he was no longer the grandson of Father-in-law Wei, it was a bit inappropriate to let Father-in-law Wei, who was unprofitable and unproductive, come to help, so he asked the guards to directly hand over the manuscript to the editor-in-chief of the "Di Bao" Supplement.

Anyway, Xu Siyue has an old relationship with him, and he will definitely sell this favor. Besides, this is the champion's own handwriting, does he dare to fall?

The guards took the order and left.

Xu Siyue did not disappoint Zhu Youcheng, and soon after, the article was published in the newspaper and caused a sensation in Daming.

Many Ming people began to reflect on whether their attitude towards the army was correct, and the status of Ming soldiers was more or less improved as a result.

And this issue of the newspaper also became the newspaper with the most printing in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

Most of the people who bought the newspaper were military households, and they bought a copy regardless of whether they knew how to read or write.

As long as someone dared to look down on them, they threw the newspaper in the person's face and said: "Look at the newspaper, Lord Zhu said, we are the loveliest people in the Ming Dynasty, dare to look down on me, are you still not a Ming person?" ”

There are also people who don't like this article.

The person who dislikes this article the most is Daming's elementary school students, and the reason is very simple, this stinky and long article is actually to be memorized in full.

It turned out that this article was sincere and beautifully written, and it was selected into the "Chinese" textbook of the later Daming, and it was stipulated that the full text should be memorized, which greatly increased the homework burden of primary school students.

Increasing the burden of schoolwork for children who don't understand the world, and poisoning through the ages, Zhu Youcheng is really guilty.

Others who don't like this article are Jiannu.

Jiannu is an expert in writing, writing, and prison, and their noses comparable to those of wolf dogs smell the sinister intentions in this article. The soldier is the cutest, isn't the role of the Ming soldier's to fight the slave? They're cute, but isn't Jiannu alive anymore?

Jiannu's censorship organs immediately decided to completely seal this issue of the "Di Bao" supplement.

But the more it is banned, the more people want to see it. On the surface, there is not even a copy of such a "Di Bao" supplement on the Jiannu market, but in fact, this "Di Bao" supplement is becoming more and more widely spread in Jiannu.

Although the young people of Jiannu hated Zhu Youcheng and praised the soldiers who beat Jiannu as the loveliest people, because Zhu Youcheng's article was written sincerely and catchy, they were able to memorize a sentence or two.

The Ming soldiers who surrendered Jiannu couldn't help blushing when they read this, and some of them even cried bitterly in secret. The soldiers who defend their homes and countries are the loveliest people, so what are these people who defect to other races?

Some soldiers even made up their minds to return to the arms of the Ming Dynasty anyway (the enemy's army surrendered to their side).

Some failed, were tortured to death by Jiannu, and their bodies were placed at the door of the Han barracks to terrorize the soldiers who wished to return to the Ming Dynasty.

Some succeeded, surrendering to the nearby Ming defenders. Among them, the most people surrendered to Mao Wenlong's department, because Mao Wenlong was open-minded and open-minded, and took care of the Han army anyway. The number of people who surrendered to Yuan Chonghuan was much smaller, and many Han soldiers knew what Yuan Chonghuan was like, and they would rather bypass Ningyuan City, run hundreds of miles more, and surrender to the Ming army at Shanhaiguan than approach Ningyuan City, which was close at hand.

Afterwards, Feng Menglong said to Zhu Youcheng with deep feelings: "Master Zhu, I now know why you attach so much importance to cultural propaganda work. Look at those Han troops who came over anyway, they were all influenced by your article. It seems that in the struggle against the enemy, we scholars can indeed play a certain role. ”

Zhu Youcheng said modestly: "Where, where." Your plain talk (novel) "Blood and Tears in the Laundry House" is also very well written, uniting people's hearts, pooling manpower, and making the Ming Dynasty have the same hatred for Jiannu, which scared the old slave chief Nuer Ha Chi to change the country name from "Jin" to "Qing". Your book really deserves an army of millions. ”

The two men praised each other and burst out laughing.

Feng Menglong was originally a modest person, but he was made proud by Zhu Youcheng, Zhu Youcheng was really guilty. (To be continued......)
