Chapter 1087: Propaganda Methods

Since ancient times, the people of Shandong have been fierce, and many people have self-organized local armed forces, and it is also the norm to form associations for self-protection during wars. Although the rebels of the Denglai Rebellion had fled to Liaodong across the sea, the social order in the Jiaodong Peninsula had not been fundamentally improved, and various bandits that appeared during the war replaced the rebels after the war as a new threat to public security, and the garrisons of the local guard posts were difficult to effectively control and crack down on because of the great losses in the war. The armed defense system organized by the people on their own in villages became the norm in this period.

Some of the refugees who lost their homes in the war also chose to cling to these villages with strong strength and a certain degree of self-protection ability, and sold their labor in exchange for living space. Large Zhuangzi like Yangjiazhuang received hundreds of refugees sporadically after the war, but because these refugees have solved the most urgent problems of survival, their desire to change their living environment is not so strong. Even if they have to suffer a certain degree of oppression because of the fence, Yangjiazhuang, which can provide the most basic living conditions, is probably more reliable than the unfamiliar environment with unpredictable prospects.

It's just that Haihan, as an outsider, still lacks understanding of this complex situation, and the propaganda strategy adopted at the beginning may not have an immediate effect. Moreover, Haihan used cavalry as propaganda implementers, and this kind of over-specification configuration was indeed too eye-catching in the Jiaodong Peninsula after the war, and ordinary people dared to believe that they were a good way to come.

The horses rested for more than an hour on the slopes of the hill from Yangjiazhuang, and the cavalry took out the bean cakes from the saddlebags, broke them and fed them to the horses. This bean cake is considered a concentrate, and it can't be fed much in a day, and during the mission, the war horse still mainly relies on the grass in the field as the staple food. The people in Zhuangzi remained vigilant during this period, and the drawbridge in and out of the village was never lowered. Sun Zhen held the telescope and looked at it for a long time, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

"If you are given a special operations battalion operation, how long will it take to take this place?" Wang Jinmin leaned over and asked.

Sun Zhen glanced sideways at Wang Jinmin, and said unhurriedly: "Half a pillar of incense! If there is a cannon available, it should be faster." Don't feel unconvinced, can you rely on your cavalry to storm the city? Listen to my brother's advice, you should walk around when you see this kind of village!"

Wang Jinmin snorted and said: "Don't forget that our cavalry is also infantry when dismounting, and we can all have the combat skills that infantry should have!

Sun Zhen shook his head and said: "You are taking it for granted, the situation on the battlefield is changing rapidly, and you can't simply use your combat skills to set it up." The combat skills you learn in the barracks may not be suitable for the current environment. Just like I've been practicing horseback riding for more than a month, I know the essentials of the movements, and I often can't ride it. ”

"You can't practice for so long, you're stupid!" Wang Jinmin complained unceremoniously.

Arguments are debates, but Yangjiazhuang's wariness of the Haihan Horse team is clear, and there is no better way to gain the trust of these villagers, all they can do is to leave here and move on to the next goal. The Jiahe River is the main water vein in Fushan County, and almost all the villages in this area are concentrated along the Jiahe River, even in the county seat of Fushan, so it was not difficult for the horse team to find a place to settle the people, and they soon found another village in the south.

Although the village was as wary of the Haihan people as Yangjiazhuang, it did not have the same well-developed defense system as Yangjiazhuang, so the panicked villagers only piled up flat carts, door panels, gravel and tree branches at the entrance of the village as roadblocks, which obviously could not be compared with the Huanzhuang ditches and suspension bridges in Yangjiazhuang.

Wang Jinmin once again came to the entrance of the village single-handedly and repeated his previous words to the villagers hiding behind the barricades, of course, this attempt failed to gain the trust of the villagers without suspense, so he had to throw the flyers printed by Haihan again in the air to communicate indirectly with the people in the village.

But this time it seems that the results were different, Wang Jinmin waited at the entrance of the village for a while, and someone actually asked him to dismount and enter the village to consult in person about the disaster relief mentioned in the notice. Wang Jinmin immediately signaled to his companions in the rear, and then dismounted himself and walked to the barricade. A few men with hunting forks and sticks came out of the village, and after searching for this person and horse, they did not carry any weapons, so they moved the barricade three feet away and let Wang Jin enter the village.

After Wang entered the village, someone soon brought him to an old man, who seemed to be the person in charge of the village.

"Hou Sheng, your notice says that there are good people who distribute relief food on Zhifu Island, but is it true?" the white-haired old man asked in an excited tone with Haihan's notice in his hand.

Wang Jinmin nodded and said: "My master is a good man from the south, in order to save the people of Shandong, he specially transported millions of catties of rice and grain, and at this time it was piled up on Zhifu Island. ”

The old man asked again, "What is the point of receiving relief food?"

Wang Jinmin shook his head and said: "It's not particular, as long as you go to Zhifu Island, you can have a bite to eat." Don't you think this is a lie?"

Someone next to him responded: "Earlier, some people released grain in the name of disaster relief, but after going to the local area, they found out that it was the bandits who set a trap, and all the young and strong were forced to join the gang, and the women and children were all taken captive, only the old, weak, sick and disabled were driven back, but they didn't even see half a grain of rice." ”

Another person also said: "Some squires said that they were releasing grain for disaster relief, but after they went, they said that the grain had been released, and after inquiring, they found out that they were acting for the government to see, so as to gain a reputation for themselves as good fathers." ”

Wang Jinmin said: "You are worried, this is understandable. My master has hundreds of thousands of hectares of fertile land in the south, and he is proficient in maritime trade, and his family is rich enough to save the people of Shandong. To tell the truth, I only escaped from Dengzhou Mansion after the Denglai Rebellion broke out, and now I have rushed back from the south thousands of miles away, and I also want to try my best to save my father and fellow villagers. If you want to find a long-term livelihood, you only need to go to Zhifu Island, and my master will arrange them one by one. ”

The old man asked, "Even if your master has mountains of gold and silver, there are so many refugees in Shandong, aren't you afraid of being eaten up?"

Wang Jinmin said: "It's not enough to just eat and not do things, disaster relief is to help the emergency not the poor, my master provides not only relief, but also the corresponding self-help model." ”
