Although Daming's actions are closely controlled within a certain range, in the end, Zhu Youzhen still feels that once he starts a war with Houjin, it will inevitably have a certain impact on the lives of ordinary people in Daming.

As the saying goes, those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

Zhu Youzhen was in the study room of the side house in the Dongnuan Pavilion, holding a copy of the "Daming Monthly News" carefully and carefully examining it, and from time to time he also commented on it, while Wang Chengen on the side was bowing to the side, waiting for the end of the emperor's Yaxing.

"If the people of the Ming Dynasty can have a positive attitude towards the war between the Ming Dynasty and the Houjin Dynasty as the newspaper says, and my Ming Dynasty has such a strong foundation of the people, how can I not win?"

After a while, the editor-in-chief of Huangming Bao hurriedly came outside the study.

"Come in, I see you."

"Back to Your Majesty, I don't know Your Majesty.."

Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "Your Huangming Newspaper is very prosperous now, tell me about the general situation of the newspaper now." ”

The editor-in-chief of the newspaper is a waiter transferred by Zhu Youzhen from the Ministry of Rites, and when he heard Zhu Youzhen say this, he knew that this was the emperor's examination of himself.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "Back to Your Majesty, now the Huangming Daily has two types of newspapers, "Daming Monthly" and "Jingshi Daily", and Daming Monthly mainly talks about current affairs, trends, and the popularization of scientific knowledge.

The content of the "Jingshi Daily" is richer, mostly about the big and small events that happen in the Beijing Division every day, and most of the policy announcements will not be published in the Jingshi Daily. ”

Today's Huangming Daily can distribute about 8 million copies of newspapers per month, Jingshi Daily is limited by traffic problems, and can only cover Zhili and Tianjin at the farthest, while Daming Monthly can cover the whole Daming Prefecture and county, and there is almost no place where newspapers cannot be delivered.

It's just that because Your Majesty has set the main theme for the Huangming Newspaper and takes Pratt & Whitney as the benchmark, the profit is currently only enough to maintain operation and a certain standard of manuscript fees. The surplus is not much, and even if there is, most of it is used to open up the newspaper market in new regions."

After listening to this introduction, Zhu Youzhen was very satisfied with the achievements made by the Huangming Newspaper, nodded and said: "It is estimated that I will do something to the Emperor Taiji of Houjin as soon as next month."

During this time, it is necessary to put the frequency of the newspaper faster, give more publicity to the war of the Ming Dynasty, and let everyone know that this war against Houjin is for the people, and the Tianhu Army is also an army fighting for the people. ”

Editor-in-chief Hu Baixiang nodded yes, but said with some hesitation: "Your Majesty.. But who will contribute to this? ”

Zhu Youzhen opened his mouth and explained: "You don't have to worry too much about this manuscript, there are not a few officials in my court who study this aspect, as long as you do a good job of reviewing it from now on."

Not to mention some of the words that are contrary to the policies of the imperial court and obviously not in the Ming Dynasty, the Huangming Newspaper can completely solicit manuscripts from all officials in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Obey the order."

"That's right.. In fact, you can get some news from the mouths of those homeless people outside the capital division, if there are literate people among them... Maybe they can bring you miraculous results, after all, they were originally located in Liaodong, and they were the most harassed by the Houjin Tartars, and they hated them the most. ”

"Wechen has been taught, and he immediately went down to arrange this matter."

After saying that, he bowed and saluted, and under Zhu Youzhen's gaze, he went to arrange.

On the other hand, the Tianhu Army has also begun to intensify the rectification and mobilization, and this kind of rectification is actually expensive, and the more important thing is that Zhu Youzhen is also trying to gather the old Tianhu Army troops near the Beijing Division as much as possible, and strive to complete a rotation with the new recruits as soon as possible.

The units of the Tianhu Army, which are more experienced, more combat-effective, and more well-trained, will be rotated to the front of the battle.

And just when Zhu Youzhen was busy, the express report of Dongchang was quickly sent to Zhu Youzhen's case: North Korea may be about to be unable to withstand it... The news that the Ming Dynasty was constantly preparing for war seems to have reached the Houjin from the Mongols... This time to deal with such a dilemma as North Korea... Hit harder...

More importantly, after the secret report, Huang Taiji ordered the Mongolian tribes belonging to the Later Jin Dynasty to gather troops and horses in time and go to the Jinzhou area to set up defenses to resist the attack of the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Youzhen frowned when he saw this, but he was not too worried, after all, he saw the opportunity to start a war in this secret report, not to mention, but more importantly, he saw Huang Taiji's weakness at the moment.

North Korea was too important to the Houjin, so that Huang Taiji knew that the Ming Dynasty was likely to attack the Houjin by tearing up the non-aggression pact that had just been signed.

is also unwilling to let go of North Korea, which has already entered most of its mouth, this piece of fat makes Huang Taiji seem to have completely forgotten the existence of danger.

However, what Zhu Youzhen didn't expect was that Huang Taiji did not learn the news from the Mongols, but the propaganda of the Huangming Newspaper was overwhelming, and it was really difficult not to see it.

Huang Taiji also expected that after the defeat in the battle of Guanning Pass, the Ming Dynasty had obviously paid more attention to military strength, and of course Huang Taiji understood that this attention mainly depended on Zhu Youzhen's injection of too many favorable economic policies into the Ming Dynasty.

After having money in his hand, he naturally didn't want to be the soft egg who would only wait to be beaten, but he shot when it was time to shoot, an old fox and a little fox, each with their own calculations.

It's just that Huang Taiji is more worried about the main problem that the situation in North Korea is still not clear, and the heart of the king of North Korea makes Huang Taiji amazed.

No matter how many North Korean civilians Huang Taiji killed outside Pyongyang, Pyongyang still could not be attacked for a long time, and the Korean royal family, which was unwilling to surrender, had already stockpiled a large amount of supplies in the city.

It's just that some of them are already there, and more of them are forcibly seized from the surrounding cities, after all, in North Korea.

The interests of the royal family are above all else, and the most terrible thing is that every common person feels that this is a normal thing, and there is nothing wrong with it, and the significant difference between North Korea and the Ming Dynasty makes Huang Taiji very distressed.

The original sneak attack turned into a tug-of-war, this kind of siege battle was quite unfamiliar to Hou Jin, after all, they were known as the Jurchens on horseback, and they were really inexperienced in such an attack.

And this situation also firmly dragged the army of more than 100,000 people of the Emperor Taiji Eight Banners, the Han Army, and the Mongols into Korea, and at the same time closely surrounded the city of Pyongyang.

At the same time, accelerate the destruction of North Korea, burn, kill and loot, and wash North Korea in blood!
