Chapter 415: Propaganda War
The people of Ezhou have recently experienced the most intense and turbulent time of their lives.
First there was a prolonged drought, then a once-in-a-century plague of locusts, and then a stormy wave of turmoil. Especially in the final turmoil, they can only go with the flow, consciously or unconsciously participating in the turmoil.
They are numerous, but they are not the protagonists of this upheaval. They were involved, but more like outsiders, watching all this happen.
The original government is still there, but the officials inside have changed. The original officials were either killed or imprisoned, and more officials chose to protect themselves and threw themselves to the side of the new forces.
The new forces are naturally Huang Yuan, the former general of the Hanoi Guard, and the soldiers led by him. To be precise, it was the general Huang Yuan and his subordinates.
Yes, General Pingyong, this is Huang Yuan's self-styled title. After the document was announced, Huang Yuan called himself General Pingyong, and the more than 10,000 soldiers he originally led were also newly sealed by Huang Yuan.
As for what their official positions were, the people could not remember. The people only know that the original Ezhou Thorn Mansion has now become the garrison of General Pingyong. They couldn't understand the text posted in front of the General's Mansion, but they knew what it said.
Every once in a while, the officials of the General's Mansion would read this document in front of the General's Mansion. It is in this way that the people all know that the reason why there is such a disaster in Ezhou is that God is warning it, in order to reveal that the emperor has no virtue and the court officials are mediocre, and the Pingyong General's Mansion is for the heavens and is the master of the people of Ezhou;
They know even more. The officials of the General's Mansion have no private property, nor are they greedy, and they will let the people eat and pass on warm clothes, etc.
It's not just the inner city of Ezhou. Even in the counties and towns under the jurisdiction of Ezhou, there are soldiers who follow Huang Yuan from time to time reading this text.
Originally, the people of Ezhou were not interested in this inscription, but when the people of the General's Mansion read this inscription, there would be food distributed to them.
Whether they were interested or not, they all memorized the content of the text. among the people. There were some young and strong drunkards, eating the food sent by the General's Mansion, listening to the content of this text, and then went to the General's Mansion.
During the great drought in Ezhou, taking refuge in the General's Mansion became their best choice, because the General's Mansion was for the crown! Being able to eat is more important than anything else.
However, in the past two days, the hearts of the people of Ezhou have not been very calm, because the soldiers who have taken refuge in the General's Mansion do not seem to be so full. What's more. In the territory of Ezhou, there were suddenly many documents like the front of the general's mansion, and the people knew that this was called "檄文".
It seems that overnight, the houses in Ezhou are all posted with this kind of paperwork, and there are various different patterns on them. The people were illiterate. But he can look at pictures. The pictures let the people of Ezhou know what is about to happen, and there are people who can recognize a few words on the side!
On the drawing, there is a cart of rice grain, and there is also a scene of people holding a big bowl full of rice, which means that outside the city of Ezhou, there are truckloads of grain being transported, just to give disaster relief to the people of Ezhou, and the people of Ezhou do not have to worry about being hungry anymore;
In the picture, there is a pair of soldiers. Rushing forward majestically with a big sword, there is also a pattern of soldiers blocking knives for the people, which means that the soldiers of the Recruitment Division have come to Ezhou to quell the chaos, and there are many soldiers. This is the officers and soldiers of the court. It is to protect the people of Ezhou.
Pictures representing different contents appeared in front of the eyes of the people of Ezhou. Even if the general's soldiers tore up these pictures, it didn't take long for the same pictures to appear again. No matter what General Daei's soldiers did, they could not cut off the appearance of these drawings.
These pictures made the hearts of the people of Ezhou move, and the eyes of the Pingyong General Mansion were also a little strange. They all remembered that the General's Mansion was the former Ezhou Thorn Mansion. Now guarding the General's Mansion is the person who is called the anti-thief rebel army by the imperial court!
Before these pictures appeared, the people of Ezhou always felt that they were outsiders in the land of Ezhou, whether it was the former Assassin's Mansion or the current Pingyong General's Mansion, for them, they were all officials. As long as they have food to eat and life is not very difficult, it doesn't matter who stays there.
But after these pictures appeared, the people of Ezhou seemed to know that in addition to a well-fed life, there was actually the title of anti-thief rebel. Now, it seems that the army of the imperial court is marching towards Ezhou, so what should they do?
The people never thought that they would be outsiders and face a choice. Whether to support the General's Mansion or to support the imperial soldiers outside Ezhou is a question that constantly arises in the hearts of the people of Ezhou.
There are many people who are already whispering.
"I heard. The grain transported from Jiangnan Province will soon arrive in Ezhou, and the imperial court sent 70,000 troops to quell the chaos this time. Seventy thousand troops, too many. There are only more than 10,000 people in the General's Mansion, and Ezhou will definitely be more chaotic, and our life will be even more miserable at that time. ”
"yes, then what should we do! It's better for us to leave Ezhou as soon as possible and flee to Jiangnan Province, maybe we can save our lives. Ezhou listens here, it's too messy. ”
"But the General's Mansion has food to send to us. Besides, didn't the general come out and say that the imperial court had no food to transport at all, and the imperial court would not care about our life or death at all, otherwise, Ezhou would not be like this. ”
“……”
“……”
Such words, after the appearance of those pictures, came out from the mouths of the people of Ezhou from time to time. After all, most of the people in Ezhou have a deep-rooted idea of imperial power, and after the appearance of these pictures, it seems to have emerged again.
Immediately, the minds of the people of Ezhou fluctuated even more. Because after these pictures appeared, a nursery rhyme was sung in the streets and alleys of Ezhou, which was about the situation here in Ezhou.
"Ezhou is deserted, there are insect locusts, the river is dry, Lang will be crazy, and cannibalism is yellow...... Ezhou is deserted, there are insect locusts, the river is dry, Lang will be crazy, and the cannibal yellow ......"
The evil words sung by the children's voice are simple and clear, and the people know what they are referring to. The situation mentioned earlier in the nursery rhyme has already appeared in Ezhou. Lang General Crazy, cannibal mania, refers to the original Zhonglang General, that is, the current Pingyong General Huang Yuan.
Lang will be crazy, cannibalism, what is the explanation? Could it be that it literally refers to the general Huang Yuan having such a habit? Cannibalism, how is this possible?
Just when the people were making this speculation and refuting their speculation, a terrifying news came out of the Great General's Mansion.
The news came out of the young Zhuang people who went to the General's Mansion a few days ago, and it is also said that those people said the news while vomiting.
These people, after entering the General's Mansion, did not eat very much every day, and were very interested in the General's meal, so they secretly entered the General's kitchen while the kitchen guards left. The scene I saw there almost scared them to death!
On the board of the general's kitchen, there was a corpse, and it was split open, and there seemed to be a few fingers faintly visible on the side of the minced meat! At that moment, these people endured vomiting, escaped from the General's Mansion, and spread the word.
Therefore, the people of Ezhou heard this terrible news, and then heard the crisp nursery rhyme, the hearts of the people of Ezhou trembled, and their hearts were terrified.
This news is very serious, whether this news is true or not, it makes the people of Ezhou afraid of their general, and some people are even worried about whether they will become the general's meal.
This news frightened the people of Ezhou, but it made General Pingyong angry, his face turned pale, and he was angrily instructing the soldiers of the General's Mansion to find out who was spreading the rumor, and to stop this rumor from continuing to spread, otherwise, the people's hearts won by enduring the pain and distributing food would definitely be dissipated.
"We must stop this rumor 9 from having that nursery rhyme, and we must not let them sing it anymore!" Huang Yuan said viciously, thinking of a way to quell this rumor.
You don't have to think about it to know that the nursery rhymes sung on the streets of Ezhou and the cannibalistic news that shocked the people were all distributed specifically for him. This shows that in this Ezhou he controls, some people are working with the people of the Imperial Court Recruitment Division, just to disturb the hearts of the people in this Ezhou land!
This rumor is false, but it has such a terrible effect! Cannibalism, such a ridiculous and disgusting thing, you can even think of it! How sinister are the intentions and means of those who spread rumors!
Those pictures that couldn't be torn up, as well as the nursery rhymes that were sung on the streets, and the rumors that couldn't be quelled, made Huang Yuan's anger in his heart, and the fear that was as if there was nothing, couldn't be dispersed.
Immediately, he thought of something more important. This series of actions is to disturb the hearts of the people in Ezhou, so the soldiers of the Imperial Court Recruitment Division will definitely attack Ezhou soon!
Thinking of this, Huang Yuan didn't care about the anger around him, and he didn't care about how to find a way to quell these rumors, he hurriedly summoned his trustworthy subordinates to discuss the countermeasures of using troops to deploy the formation.
70,000 soldiers of the Recruiting Division, this number is absolutely oppressive for Huang Yuan, he must use all the resources of Ezhou to be able to fight against these 70,000 soldiers.
Of course, it is not appropriate to say that it is 70,000, no matter what, Huang Yuan thought that he would let Liu Liang's Jinzhou situation share part of the troops of the Recruitment Division for him.
Just as Huang Yuan was discussing with his subordinate generals about how to deal with the Recruitment Division, a soldier hurriedly came in to tell him, his voice was so panicked and frightened.
"General, General, no! The Imperial Court's Recruitment Division is coming in! It's tomorrow! ”
What the? How could the Recruiting Division move so quickly? And tomorrow will be announced, how is this possible?!
