Chapter 185: Guiding Public Opinion and Preparing for the Prisoner Ceremony
In the people, the "Daming Forum" gradually replaced the role of the imperial court newspaper. The above content is more detailed, and the policy direction of the emperor and the imperial court is more clearly stated.
In the last month or so, the newspaper has been serializing the beginning and end of the war in Liaodong. Since the rebellion of the Later Jin Dynasty, it has been said that Xiong Tingbi resigned for the first time due to party disputes and was replaced by the civil official Yuan Yingtai.
Although this has already happened, the dispute in the court and the real reason for Xiong Tingbi's resignation are not clearly understood by many people.
By describing the facts in this way, it is clear what happened, the evil consequences of the party struggle, and the faces of officials of various factions who disregard the overall situation and only care about fighting for power and profit and using themselves for their own purposes.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is another ruthless exposure and whipping by the emperor, and his hatred for the party and the country and selfish officials can be seen.
At the same time, this is also the reason that the emperor has found for himself to depose a large number of officials, and occupies the moral high ground.
Although the serialization is still continuing, combined with the Liaoshen fiasco that has happened and the crisis in Guangning, and then looking at the current situation in Liaodong, many people have also guessed that this is the emperor proving the correctness and cleverness of his planning.
Facts speak louder than words, and in the past two years, the Ming army has reversed its declining trend and reported frequent successes of various sizes and successes, which is indeed a very powerful proof.
More powerful proofs continued to come, which once again set off an atmosphere of euphoria in the capital and soon spread among the people in a more popular way.
Syllable! As soon as the sound of the wood was knocked, in the teahouse restaurant, the storyteller told the heroic deeds of the thousand and eight warriors who fought against tens of thousands of slaves.
The story was a little thin at the beginning, but soon under the processing of Liu Mazi, Zhao Tiezui and others, it became rich and detailed, and gradually reached the level of "reverberation" and "blood and veins".
This form of propaganda is actually more acceptable to the people than newspapers, after all, it is appreciated by both the elegant and the vulgar, and there are very few literate people.
And through the mouth of the storyteller, public opinion propaganda among the people is also an experiment of Zhu Youxiao. If it works well, other art forms will be adopted as well.
When the inside, when the inside! Don't talk about gossip, table 1 shows that the tiger is a good man Wu Erlang; Who said that three bowls are not enough, and the liquor and beer will be swept away......
Yes, the one with the vernacular is the one with the small bamboo board, full of Shandong accent, Zhu Youxiao still thinks it is full of fun, I don't know if there is one now.
In any case, the art forms that the people love can actually be publicized by public opinion, but the popularity and popularity are different.
Many people do not understand the emperor's reasons for doing this, including Ni Wenhuan, the specific execution of the imperial pen.
The saints have said: The people can make it impossible to know it. Ordinary people, who can't read big characters, what's the use of publicizing them? If you have a newspaper, just read it to the reader.
In fact, this is the same as the emperor's decree to add conditions to the preferential treatment of students, teaching for free, many people do not understand.
Popularizing education and improving the overall quality of the people are lofty terms that Zhu Youxiao obviously does not want to say, and not many people can understand them.
Since ancient times, education has been a matter for a few. Ordinary people, it's very powerful to be able to write their own names, let alone reading books and newspapers?
However, reading notices, knowing the country's policies and decrees, and understanding documents without being deceived are exactly the basic requirements of Zhu Youxiao for the education of the people.
Of course, this is not a goal that can be achieved overnight, but it does not prevent Zhu Youxiao from arranging from now on and taking the first step.
Let's go back to the form of public opinion propaganda among the people, which is easy to understand and enjoy, just like the art troupes in the army in later generations and the big operas in the countryside, with a wider audience and stronger guidance.
Ordinary people are the easiest to be fooled, uneducated, don't you guide you? The social status of the military is not low, it is not enough for the emperor or the imperial court to work hard, and the traditional public opinion of the people is also quite important.
During the Battle of Quang Ninh, Liu Yiyi and other heroes and martyrs in Xiping Fort received preferential treatment from the emperor and publicized it in the newspapers; Now, with this big victory, not only in the newspapers, but also in the people's word of mouth, the effect is even better.
And the heroism of 1,800 warriors had just set off a trend, and the good news of the crusade against Houjin's ally Korqin Division, the annihilation of 5,000 Jiannu and the capture of Houjin's Erbeile Amin alive spread throughout the Jingshi one after another, causing an even greater sensation.
Although in the past two years, there have been victories from time to time, such as the recovery of Fort Arthur, the recovery of Jinzhou, and now the recovery of Guangning and southern Liaoning, it is the first time that such a number of Jiannu have been eliminated and such a high-level enemy general has been captured.
"What kind of officer is Baylor?" Someone asked ignorantly, and immediately attracted the eyes of others.
"The old slave called himself the King of Khan, and the highest rank of his son and nephew was Beylor." Someone showed disdain, explaining or showing off, "It is equivalent to a prince, there are only four major bailes, and this Amin is the nephew of the old slave." ”
Oh, oh, the inquirer was a little suddenly enlightened, scratched his head and said: "I remember, that thousand eight warriors are fighting Jiannu, isn't it just fighting with some big Belle Daishan led by the soldiers?" ”
"Da Belle Daishan is the son of an old slave, originally equivalent to the prince, but because of his soft ears, listening to the words of the concubine, abusing his own son, he was deposed as the prince......"
Being able to know so much about Jiannu is the role of the newspaper, the role of the storyteller, and the role of Zhu Youxiao's promotion.
Just like the period when the commentary "The Complete Biography of Yue Yue" was most circulating, the people who had no culture knew the general story of the story. Know the villains Jin Wushu, Jin Danzi, and Hamichi, and know the heroes Yue Fei, Yue Yun, and Niu Gao!
It was one of Zhu Youxiao's purposes for the common people to understand the situation of Jiannu, to know the names of the Ming soldiers who fought bravely, and to add the heavy rewards and encouragement of the imperial court, to form an atmosphere of caring about the war and respecting the soldiers.
"No more detailed battle report?" In the palace, Zhu Youxiao was not very satisfied.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao knew that a more detailed report was still on the way, and this was only the first briefing to be delivered.
Because this is a very strict rule, no matter how big or small the battle is, no matter whether it is won or lost, there must be a detailed report. The military department and the martial arts department keep the file on file, analyze and study, and then distribute it to all departments.
Learning war in the midst of war is not an empty phrase. Every bloody sacrifice must be worthwhile.
It is precisely because of this mechanism that all units of the Ming army were able to absorb the experience and lessons of friendly forces, constantly adjust and make progress.
For example, the Battle of Quang Ninh exposed the weakness of Jiannu's attack. If the internal traitors are excluded and the defense is replaced by the attack, it is the right choice for the Ming army at a low ebb.
Another example is the defensive counterattack of Fort Arthur, which provided a good reference for other Ming troops. It also proved that the breastwall plus the trench can effectively provide protection and effectively kill the enemy.
It is precisely because of this constant analysis and summarization that you do not have to experience it yourself, taste the taste of victory or defeat, let alone waste the lives of soldiers.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was not only excited, but also wanted to know the details of the battle.
The cavalry defeated the Jiannu cavalry, which was famous for its cavalry archery, in a field battle, although it was a bit awkward, but it is not an exaggeration to call it a milestone.
Whether the cavalry wall played a big role, or whether he used other tactics to win, Zhu Youxiao was eager to know the answer.
After the autumn, a large number of cavalry in the Beijing camp will be drawn and rushed to Liaoxi. If useful information can be obtained from this battle, it will be crucial for the next stage of the battle.
Seeing that the emperor seemed to be displeased, Wang Tiqian hurriedly said with a smiling face: "Emperor, is this prisoner gift more grand?" Jiannu's Erbeile, it is not easy to be able to take prisoners. ”
was diverted by Wang Tiqian, and Zhu Youxiao also felt that he had done it. Thinking about the gift of prisoners, I feel that I have to behave well this time, and the feeling of being in front of the people is not something that can be seen often.
The last time I presented a prisoner, I was in a bad mood because of Xu Hongru, a bastard. This time, while making amends, it also allows the world to see the authority of the emperor and remove more possible obstacles.
It is not uncommon for emperors to also brush their prestige and authority. Only when the imperial power is strong can the civil official clique be suppressed, and only then can he go further and faster.
Zhu Youxiao pondered for a while, and said with his head bowed: "It's good to boost the morale of the people, I will make an order to transfer some heroes to Beijing, and the effect should be better." ”
The hero is ready-made, and it's still on the air, and it's the survivor of the 1,800 warriors.
Zhu Youxiao is already preparing to use them as the backbone to form the strongest mixed association, and will give the name "Rock", which means that it will not move.
Border troops entering Beijing? Wang Tiqian was stunned for a moment, and immediately thought of the keyword "hero". Understood, now the heroes who are talking about outside, I heard that there are only a few hundred people left.
If the naturalized cavalry can accomplish this great feat, they should also be given names and flags. The emperor touched his chin and began to think about rewarding meritorious deeds.
There are also the three associations of southern Liaoning who repelled Dai Shan with infantry, as well as the meritorious officers and soldiers of other ministries, even if they do not give names and flags, and they cannot be stingy with silver and medals.
"It is rumored that Dong Qichang entered the palace to meet him." The Emperor raised his head and issued a somewhat abrupt edict.
Wang Tiqian hurriedly sent someone to do it, but he didn't know why the emperor suddenly thought of Lord Dong from the prisoner ceremony.
Nonsense, there is Master Dong here, designing a logo and flag or something, and the emperor does it himself? It's no problem to be a carpenter, but being an artist, Zhu Youxiao feels that it is not his profession.
……………………
Some people are happy and some people are sad, such a big world, so many people, it is a normal thing.
Zhu Youxiao in the palace only saw the total annihilation of the Jiannu cavalry and the capture of Dayu Amin alive, and did not take the prisoners of war of the Horqin Department who were being escorted to Beijing in his eyes.
But some people are worried about their parents and brothers, and worry about the safety of their loved ones.
The carriage moved forward on the chariot, and it tossed in the pothole, before Hai Lanzhu, who was contemplative in lock-eyebrow, raised her head and looked at the scenery along the road a little blankly.
If you want to talk about the scenery, you can only describe it as desolate. Although Quang Ninh was recovered, it would not resettle the people for the time being, and it belonged to the territory under military control.
The advantage of this is twofold, one is to avoid the people being poisoned by the war, in case the Jiannu or Mongols sneak in? The second is to contribute to the secrecy of military operations, which is the same as the relocation of the Liao people in the first place.
Although the Liao people could flee across the Liao River, and the Mongol tribes were also returning the Han Chinese, they were only passing through the Guangning area, either to Jinzhou and Ningyuan for resettlement, or to the interior to find relatives and friends.
To put it bluntly, it's easy to get in and hard to get out. Except for the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, which is in charge of the horse market, no Han Chinese will leave the customs. Later Jin or the Mongol tribes sent spies, and it was difficult to sneak out again.
This trick is very good, and Houjin can't get timely and accurate information, so he can only bring out limited information from the gap deliberately left by the Zhenfu Division. I often read fake newspapers, and I can think of what kind of judgment mistakes there will be.
For example, Nurhachi believed that the Ming court sent the elite of the nine sides to Liaoxi for reinforcements, so he could only gather heavy troops in Liaoshen, and the troops in other places were naturally insufficient.
The destination of Hai Lanzhu and the three of them was the Daming Jingshi, because that was the end of the prisoner sacrifice. There is no way, no matter how anxious they are, they have to follow the arrangements of the officials and the Ming army, and they want to catch up with their relatives in a hurry, but it is unlikely.
He had changed into Han clothes, and although it was a coarse cloth, it was much cooler, although it could not dispel the sorrow and anxiety in his heart.
"I heard them say they were going to the beach on a boat." Bumu Butai had just taken a nap, rubbed his eyes and sat up, and asked Darhan, "What is the sea like?" Is it bigger than the Gyre River? ”
Before Darhan could speak, the Ming soldiers who were driving in front of him had already laughed and said, "Little girl, you have been with the Mongols for too long, and you only know what the Qiuer River is. If you compare it to the sea, it is the difference between a small puddle and a large lake. ”
Bumu Butai consciously lost his words and entered the Ming Realm, so he should speak less.
"You are going to the mainland, you must first take a boat to Jinzhou Port, and then change to a sea ship to go ashore in Tianjin." The Ming soldiers said in detail: "If you have never been on a sea boat, beware of seasickness!" ”
Darhan hurriedly asked with a smiling face: "Dare to ask the military master, is there a way to prevent it?" ”
The Ming soldier smiled and said, "The method is also simple, but not everyone is effective. Take a piece of ginger ......"
Hai Lanzhu sighed in her heart, no matter how difficult it is, she can only move forward, there is no turning back. The day before yesterday, a large group of cavalry passed by, escorting Houjin's captives. I heard that there is a Baylor in it, but it is a big official!
Fortunately, I didn't go to Houjin to find my aunt, otherwise I would have collided with the Ming army and couldn't escape......
The sound of horses' hooves sounded behind him, and Bumu Butai quietly pulled down the sleeve of Sister A's coat and motioned for her to look behind.
Several warriors in Mongolian costumes, accompanied by more than a dozen Ming cavalry, rode horses and galloped over, but it was Nuuk, the son of Ang'an, the leader of the Zalut tribe.
This young man was invited to Beijing to meet the Ming Emperor, and the five Inner Khalkha tribes were invited, inviting the sons and nephews of the leaders of each department to go to Beijing.
Zhu Youxiao has already hit the idea to the younger generation of the Mongolian tribes, so that they can see the abundance of the Ming Dynasty and accept the influence of the Ming culture.
This method is not new, the Ming Dynasty built schools for the children of Tusi and recruited them to study, in fact, it was the same idea.
Mongol?
Hai Lanzhu and Bu Mu Butai saw the familiar costumes, staring unconsciously, guessing what the identity of this Mongol who could bring weapons and accompany the Ming army was?
Nuke realized that the two eyes were staring, and he frowned slightly and turned his face to look. When he saw that it were two women, he was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the women's faces, he couldn't take his eyes off.
