The Min family in Yangzhou has learned to make movable type, although the number is not much, but it is enough to print the text, anyway, there are no rare words throughout the text.

Under the auspices of Min Wenwei, the attitude of the Min family has always been very ambiguous.

The official surnamed Min Xu in the yamen did things for Zhu Guoxiang without scruples. And those serious scholars of the Min family are not allowed to go down the mountain in the academy, as if Yangzhou is still in the hands of the imperial court.

Zhu Guoxiang did not persecute it, but only forcibly requisitioned the printing workshop of the Min family and confiscated all the engraved lead movable type.

In ancient times, there was no Internet, and it was impossible to electrify the whole country.

The inscription was often brought back by the captives and handed over to the enemy's commander-in-chief, or sent directly to the capital. If the two armies are fighting, the prisoners who bring back the inscription may end up miserable, and there are often records in the history books of "beheading the prisoners and burning the list text".

Of course, there are other ways, such as using bows and arrows to enter the city, or having the sorcera posted on the main thoroughfares.

Spread it, very slowly!

The passage to Shaanxi was blocked, and the past business travel was strictly checked. Zhu Guoxiang printed hundreds of texts, sent them east out of Jinzhou to disseminate, and sent them to Zhu Ming in the south.

The texts in the city of Tokyo were carefully disguised as homeless beggars and disseminated along the way, mainly posted on the docks, delivery shops, kiosks, etc.

By the way, gather intelligence.

These fine works were all from Shaanxi and western Beijing, and were brought back to Yangzhou by Zhang Guangdao.

Specially select smart and clever people, arrange marriage for them, give birth to children and then choose them as fine work, and teach them to read and write, and also teach the text encryption method (pinyin is not good, you have to match Mandarin).

Shi San is one of them, and his wife and children are in Daming Village.

His wife was also a homeless person, and she recognized a few words. After marrying him, she gave birth to a son in the second year, and as long as he had a good life and found out the news, his wife and children could get preferential treatment from Zhu Xianggong.

Holding a broken bowl in his left hand and a wooden stick in his right hand, Shi San dragged his limp forward.

This lame leg is pretended, and he is afraid of being captured by the government to serve.

Unkempt, filthy, and ragged, there are so many homeless people like this that no one will notice if they are thrown in the pile.

He had two companions, and after spreading the literature in Tokyo, one went to Shandong, the other to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and Shi San limped to Shaanxi.

They all have a place to stay.

Those who go to Shandong can go to Kwaiqiu to send a letter to Li's father, and they can stay at Li Bao's house.

People who go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang can send a letter to Qian Chen in Taihu Lake, and they can stay at Qian Chen's house.

Shi San went to Shaanxi to contact businessman Jia, where there was Zhang Guangdao's smuggling partner.

"Okay, okay, stutter." Shi San came to a village and begged from house to house.

"Go, go, I still can't eat!"

In these years, it was very difficult to beg for food, the government was exploited, the price of grain soared, and the people were miserable.

Whenever he was expelled, Shi San changed his mouth and begged for water.

After asking more than a dozen households, a woman was finally willing to give him water.

Shi San felt that there was no one else in the house, so he estimated that he went to work in the field, so he immediately took out the broken silver and whispered: "Big lady, I am not a beggar, but a scholar, I was robbed by gangsters halfway, and even the servants were killed." I didn't dare to show my wealth again, so I pretended to be a beggar and went home. You don't need 20 loaves of bread. ”

The woman saw that he was speaking in a very orderly manner, and when she believed it, she asked Shi San to sit under the eaves and rest, while she went to the kitchen to make cakes.

The price of grain is too high, it is inconvenient to use copper coins, and every fine work carries broken silver.

And brought a dagger!

Shi San already had several lives in his hands, and it was inevitable that someone would have ill intentions towards him, so he could only kill and escape.

The woman baked the bread of grains, and gave him copper coins, and said, "Twenty loaves of bread are not worth much silver, for they are for you." You hide and eat, don't teach people to see it, for fear of being robbed by gangsters again. ”

"Thank you, lady, I'll go first." Shi San stuffed the multigrain cake into his broken pocket and limped west.

Come to the wilderness and gobble it up.

After eating enough, he continued to hurry, and stopped at a suburban delivery shop.

He curled up near the shop, begging for food with a broken bowl, and pricked up his ears to listen to the traveler's conversation.

The traveler sat in the roadside resting pavilion, nothing more than talking about what he had seen and heard, and talked about the rebellion of the Zhu thieves in Hanzhong. Then he talked about the money system, and the court ordered it to be levied throughout the country, and cursed the traitorous ministers in a low voice.

Night was falling, and the travelers were long gone.

Shi San lay down by the river and pretended to drink water, took out an ink strip and grinded a little, and after absorbing ink from the bamboo pipe pen, he wrote down what he thought was useful information.

Zhu Guoxiang repeatedly warned that everywhere he went, others could be ignored, but the price of grain must be recorded!

After memorizing the information, he unwrapped the oiled paper bag, took out a piece of paper, dipped it in water and moistened it, and pasted it on the pillar of the resting pavilion.

After doing this, it was almost dark, and Shi San continued to hurry with a limp, looking for a place to sleep in shelter from the wind and rain.

A few days later, Shi San passed through Luoyang and posted seven or eight pieces of text outside the city.

The next day, early in the morning.

Soon someone saw the inscription, and the illiterate person didn't take it seriously, but the literate person was shocked: "Hurry up...... Hurry up and report to the officer! ”

"Du Erlang, what is written on it? But the government wants to raise taxes again? ”

"Don't ask, it's not a good thing."

"We're all blind and read it."

"I don't dare, this is written by a thief."

“……”

The more this is the case, the more onlookers there are, and the nearby neighbors want to know what the thief wrote.

Finally, there was a scholar who was not afraid of things, and he opened his mouth and said, "What dare you not read?" This is written by the thief, not by us. ”

This person was afraid that the neighbors would not understand, so he took the initiative to translate it into a common saying: "This Han Zhong Zhu thief said that people get together to form a family, and families get together to form a country...... All countries in the world are based on people. The emperor is the king of the people, and he should consider the people. The Holy Monarch does not care about his own benefit, but allows the people of the world to benefit......"

After the neighbors gathered around and listened to the text, they all felt that it was written so reasonably, and it spoke to their hearts.

It seems that the two Zhu thieves in Hanzhong are really not bad thieves, they are good thieves for the sake of the people.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

Several officials came to hear the news, and after dispersing the people, they took down the document and sent it to the yamen.

Zhang Rulin, the transfer envoy of Jingxi Road, was eating wine at the house of deputy envoy Lu Rong.

The two of them were demoted almost at the same time, and they were going to leave Luoyang in a few days.

Zhang Rulin went to the emperor and asked to cancel the West Road into Fenghuaguo (Jingxi Huashigang), which was originally agreed by Song Huizong, but Wang Huang said that Zhang Rulin had slandered the monarch.

Lu Rong's crime is simpler, when he was a student in Lizhou Luti, he once promoted Zhu Ming as a scholar of the Eight Elements, and also recommended Zhu Ming to study Taixue.

The former was degraded to Guangdong, and the latter was degraded to Guangxi.

"Alas, Wang Huang's thief, it doesn't matter when he frames Zhongliang," Zhang Rulin sighed, "I was busy recruiting troops to suppress thieves, but he demoted me to Guangdong to be an official because of a little personal grudge." ”

Lu Rong didn't answer, just drank vigorously.

Zhang Rulin said again: "Your Excellency, don't be frustrated, the Zhu family and his son are thieves, and you are not thieves." ”

Lu Rong shook his head: "Zhu Chenggong, a young talent, full of economy." Zhu Yuanzhang is a benevolent gentleman and a capable man. The two of them are in turmoil, which is really incredible. I didn't hate it, but I felt some sympathy. They must have pitied the people of the world and were so disappointed in the faint king of Tokyo that they disregarded their personal reputation and wanted justice for all the people of the world. ”

"Be careful!"

Zhang Rulin hurriedly reminded: "I am the critic of the king, and I was heard by others, so I was sent to Wang Huang." ”

Lu Rong sneered: "It's a big deal to be reduced to a commoner, what's the point of this official?" You and I are responsible for transshipment, and the people of western Beijing are displaced, but we are still expropriating and expropriating. If you don't do it, you are violating the imperial decree, and if you do, you are exploiting and mutilating the people, and you are not human inside and out. Now it is just right to be demoted, so as not to suffer that day and night! ”

"Xianggong, Xianggong......" An old servant ran in, holding a document that had been removed by the official messenger.

Zhang Rulin read the text and looked a little strange.

Lu Rong took it and read it carefully, and said with a smile: "Scold happily, this can be accompanied by wine!" ”

……

Jinghu Lake and Jiangxi, there are also fine works.

Zhong Ziang was opening an altar in Huarong County to teach the Fa, and one day he saw people watching at the pier, and he curiously leaned over to see the excitement.

Seeing what was written, Zhong Ziang was suddenly shocked, but when he saw that an official messenger came to quickly remove the text.

Zhong Ziang hurriedly followed, took out a handful of copper coins and said, "The two brothers took it to eat and drink, and let me copy a copy of this article." ”

"What are you copying?" An official asked.

Another official reminded in a low voice: "This is the master of the bell altar who preaches and preaches the Fa, he has thousands of believers in Huarong County, and he must not be offended." ”

The previous official changed color instantly, and then said with a smile: "Mr. Zhong wants to copy it, just copy it." ”

Zhong Ziang finished transcribing the text and immediately returned to his hometown by boat.

"Father, someone is really doing something in Hanzhong!" Zhong Zi shouted loudly.

The news of Zhu Ming's army in Hanzhong has also been heard by Huarong County, but I don't know what the specific situation is.

The officials of Jinghu Road are busy exterminating the Seven Buddhas of Fang, how can they care about the anti-thieves in Hanzhong?

Zhong Xiang took the text and read it carefully, he was just a businessman with rough writing and ink, and praised it after reading it: "Sure enough, it is the famous Zhu Tanhua, the article is written so well, and every sentence is written to my heart, it is really scolding freely." Today, he raised a three-foot sword, led a million soldiers, raised the banner of righteousness and Kuang the world, swore to punish the only husband to settle down the country, and swept away the traitors to comfort the souls. I like this sentence, it is majestic, and we will use it in the future. ”

Zhong Ziang couldn't wait: "Fang Qifo went to Jingnan to make trouble, and the Zhu family's father and son raised righteousness in Hanzhong, shouldn't we also raise troops?" ”

Zhong Xiang shook his head: "It's not proper, we have to wait." ”

"Father, there's no time to wait!" Zhong Ziang said anxiously.

"I've been waiting for more than ten years, and I'm still in a hurry?" Zhong Xiang said, "Proselytize a lot and gather believers." In our south and north, there are big thieves, and the government will definitely collect more heavily, and there will definitely be more believers in our sect. When the government recruits more village soldiers to suppress the thieves, it will be the time for my father and son to rise up when the time comes! ”

"Asking for a Single Husband Zhao Jixuan" gradually spread with the fine work.

This article has a huge impact, because every sentence is in the vernacular, the truth!

Even the gentry and businessmen felt that it was very reasonable, and even thought that Zhu Ming was speaking for them.

Except for the people of Sichuan, people in other places don't know that Zhu Ming has grown up. thought that like Fang La, Zhu Ming would soon be exterminated, and he sympathized with the Zhu family's father and son.

Once Zhu Ming completely occupies Sichuan, after the news comes out, maybe there will be scholars and heroes who will come thousands of miles to vote!
