On October 27, 15,000 people besieged Yan'an Mansion, and after five days of hard fighting, the artillery blasted through the city wall and annihilated more than 5,000 defenders. 275 people were killed and 380 wounded.

On November 10, the army 6 continued to recover more than 20 prefectures and counties such as Yanchang, Yanchuan, Baoan, Ansai, Anding, Suide, and Mizhi. 300,000 people broke free from the iron hooves of the tartars and regained their light.

On December 15, An ** took advantage of the freezing of the Yellow River to cross the river in one fell swoop and seize Yongning Prefecture. The clarion call to march into Shanxi was sounded. At the same time, Luoyang captured Pingyang, and the armies of the north and south roads have become encircled in Shanxi!

……

6 Continued from the front of countless good news, Henan all immersed in a joyful atmosphere. Last year, in order to promote the new policy, Gu Zhenhua set up his first newspaper, called "Political Minutes", which mainly explained the Tuntian policy, and also published a large number of news on rectifying the administration of officials, punishing corrupt officials, reducing taxes, and encouraging industry and commerce.

Although Da Ming has already had Da's Di newspaper system, after all, it is only for the upper echelons, especially the official eunuchs, who can only get in touch. And the "Political Minutes" is aimed at everyone from the beginning, and the language is more straightforward, as if speaking in the market.

Another initiative was the uniform use of simplified characters. Gu Zhenhua thought that this measure would be opposed, but the result was completely unexpected, and many literati even stood up and publicly applauded the simplification. Only some sour and conservative old Confucians objected a few times, but they were quickly suppressed.

In fact, since the birth of Chinese characters, they have been constantly simplified, and if you really want to go retro, then you should use hieroglyphs!

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, many simplified characters in later generations had appeared, but there were no formal norms, so there were more folk use and fewer formal documents.

But as an open era that can accept Matteo Ricci and John Tong, these Westerners. The scholars of the Ming Dynasty were particularly open-minded in their approach to the simplification of the written word. Only the Manchu Tartars, in order to suppress wisdom and control readers, did not hesitate to move against the times, and found those words that had been eliminated from a pile of old papers and used them as a guideline.

In fact, there is also a big advantage to using simplified Chinese characters, because paper is still very expensive. Using traditional Chinese characters with many strokes, you can't write much content on a single page, and simplified Chinese characters greatly enrich the amount of information and reduce the cost of knowledge, which is undoubtedly a great blessing for poor students.

When Gu Zhenhua put forward the initiative of simplifying Chinese characters. Fang Yizhi and others also helped him to conduct some painstaking research, believing that simplifying the drafting of the word, conforming to the changes of heaven, and passing on the mastery of the saints are the merits of the present and the benefits of the future.

Fang Yizhi led more than 200 scholars to form the Department of Standardized and Simplified Writing. After several months of hard work, they have published the first batch of 2oo simplified characters in 6 consecutive years, and they have adopted them in newspaper documents.

Gu Zhenhua also considered some aesthetic issues, and did not rush to achieve results, but let them move forward steadily. Indeed, after the simplification of fonts, more and more ordinary people were able to read and write, and the sales of newspapers increased exponentially.

The common people are not so numb, they are concerned about the changes of this era. The war of the former enemy. The opening of ports in the southeast and the Yi people overseas have all become topics that are often discussed by the common people.

The people's wisdom is wide open, and the academic agitation is the beginning of a new era!

"Outside, outside!"

"The first warrior of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was captured, and 8,000 Tartars were annihilated!"

"Let's all go to the West Gate to see the excitement. Ao Bai escort is here! ”

The newsboy shouted as he ran. When the people on the street heard this, they got up one after another and couldn't help but laugh.

"Let's go. Let's take a look at the big guys, this excitement is not always there, and next time I'm afraid I'm going to arrest that bullshit regent! ”

The common people called for friends, smiled one by one, and rushed to Xicheng.

At this time, at a tea stall on the side of the street, a man and a woman were drinking tea, the man was in his early twenties, not tall, with a dark face, a very fierce figure, and a short knife under his ribs.

The girl on the opposite side looks seventeen or eighteen, also petite and exquisite, with a bunch of braids on her head, full of beaded flowers, a pair of crescent-like eyes, always with a smile, green clothes all over her body, full of youthful vitality, when she sits, she is not honest, her legs are crossed, and her eyes are looking around.

"Second brother, did you hear that, the first warrior of the Manchu Dynasty, let's go and see the excitement, right?"

The man on the opposite side frowned, and said unhappily: "Third sister, let's come to Kaifeng, we are on the orders of grandma, and you have promised to listen to me, but you can't go back!" ”

"You can't be a wooden person if you listen to you, besides, it's hard to go out of Sichuan, and when we go back, grandma asked what she saw, and she couldn't say a word, you are not ashamed!"

The man thought for a moment, waved his hand, and called the newsboy over.

"This little brother, who is this first warrior of the Tartars?"

"Hehe, listening to your accent, you are a foreigner, you have a newspaper, everything is clear." The little newsboy said as he sent a copy of the number to him.

"I heard that this Ao Bai pushed the eight horses sideways and pulled the nine cows back. The roots of his arms are thicker than ordinary people's thighs, he eats raw meat and drinks human blood, and he is simply a demon king who emerges from the ground. The little one sold these newspapers, and was ready to see the excitement, I heard that the prince would personally go out to welcome the meritorious soldiers! ”

The girl listened on the side, her crescent eyes were full of light, her little fists were clenched tightly, and she said excitedly: "Go, go, must go!" ”

She looked at the newspaper in the newsboy's arms, grabbed it, the newsboy was still a little stunned, she took out a small ingot of five taels of silver from her pocket, and stuffed it into the newsboy's hand.

"I've bought all of these, you hurry up and lead the way."

"Hey!" The little newspaper boy nodded excitedly, this is the silver he can't earn for a month, it's like pie in the sky, he is leading the way in front.

"Third sister, you can spend money too much, that's five taels of silver, one copy of this newspaper is enough, why are you buying so much!"

"I'd love to!" The girl pouted: "Second brother, why are you so elm-headed, this newspaper is not available in Sichuan, if you take it back, shake it in front of the surrounding toasts, they will ensure that they will obediently give out the silver, there is no ten taels, and this girl will not sell it!" ”

The man couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "Third sister, this heart and eyes have made you grow, do we want to buy another pocket to carry it to Sichuan?" ”

They laughed and talked, and came all the way to the west gate, where people were already standing inside and out, and the roadside was a cordon drawn by soldiers. The common people outside stretched their necks and looked inside.

The girl's eyes fell on the guards, she grabbed the little scholar, and asked, "What is on the heads of those soldiers, why is it so high?" ”

"Hahaha, miss, that's a bearskin hat, only the elite of the Guards, those who have made war exploits can wear it, don't underestimate that hat, you want a whole bearskin, it's expensive! In a few years, I also want to join the army, if I can get a bearskin hat and take it back as a family heirloom, not to mention how much face I have! ”

The more the girl looked, the more interested she became, and she couldn't help but stretch out her fingers and point them over one by one.

"Good boy! I'm afraid these hats will use hundreds of bears to be blind, and Ann ** is really rich.

The man didn't care, and said: "Our white pole soldiers are not bad, how many meritorious deeds grandma has made, but it's just hateful that the court is mediocre, if you can give us more money and food, who are the white pole soldiers afraid of!" ”

……

While they were talking, there was a sound of horses' hooves from the city, and Gu Zhenhua took the civil and military officials to the city gate in person. Xia Shouli, Yan Yingyuan, Wu Kaijie, Li Xu, Guo Yunlong and others surrounded Gu Zhenhua like stars holding the moon.

Gu Zhenhua had a warm smile on his face, nodding frequently at the people on the side of the road, his eyes swept over, and he just saw the girl who was jumping and looking inside, the foreign costume made Gu Zhenhua stunned a little, but then he also cast a warm smile.

The girl couldn't help jumping excitedly and said with a smile: "Second brother, he's smiling at me!" ”

At this time, there was also a noise outside the city, drums and firecrackers.

Li Laiheng personally escorted Ao Bai and Sukh Saha from outside. The injury on Li Laiheng's arm is not healed yet, but as long as he doesn't exert himself, he will be fine.

He has a youthful heart, riding on a war horse, there are cheering crowds everywhere, there are singing and dancing figures everywhere, he is also enthusiastic, and his little white face is flushed!

Seeing Gu Zhenhua and them from a distance, Li Laiheng hurriedly jumped off the war horse and trotted in front of Gu Zhenhua. Raised his right hand and respectfully saluted.

"Report to the prince, the humble post has already brought the captured Ao Bai and Suke Saha, please take a look!"

As he spoke, the prisoner cart behind him swayed and pushed over, and the first prisoner cart was Aobai. I have to say that the vitality of this first warrior is indeed tenacious, he lost one arm, injured his lower abdomen again, and almost lost half of his life, but after being rescued by the military doctor, he actually survived.

Ao Bai was lying in the prisoner car, his eyes closed, but when he arrived in Kaifeng, he suddenly opened his eyes and his eyes fell on Gu Zhenhua in the middle of the crowd.

Ao Bai suddenly struggled and shouted, "King Zhongshan, King Zhongshan, Ao Bai has finally seen you!" ”

Hearing the call, Gu Zhenhua also felt great interest in this Manchu minister, walked a few steps, and came to the front of the prisoner car.

Carefully in large quantities, this guy is burly and strong, with a full beard, although he does not have half a life at this time, he still has a dignified and majestic style.

"Hahaha, what a Manchu No. 1 Baturu, this king has been admired for a long time."

"King Zhongshan, Aobai is already a general of the defeated army, and it is not enough to be brave, here Aobai has something to ask for, and please ask the prince to agree."

"Aobai, you Baturu was bought with the blood of countless Han people, this king let you go, and those heavenly heroes can't let you go!"

Ao Bai smiled slightly: "Lord, Ao Bai does not seek to live, but only to be able to stop the war and enjoy peace, even if Ao Bai is cut by a thousand knives, I will be calm!" ”
