Chapter 185 Guiding public opinion and preparing for the sacrifice of prisoners
Among the people, the "Ming Dynasty Forum" gradually replaced the role of the imperial court's official report. The above content is more detailed and explains the policy direction of the emperor and the court more clearly.
In the past month, the newspaper has been serializing the whole story of the Liaodong war. Since the rebellion of the Later Jin Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, it has been mentioned that Xiong Tingbi has been resigned from the civil servant Yuan Yingtai due to party struggles.
Although this has happened, not many people understand the real reason for Xiong Tingbi's resignation in the court disputes and the fact that Xiong Tingbi's resignation are clear.
By describing the whole story clearly and clearly, the consequences of the party struggle, the faces of officials of various factions who ignore the overall situation and only care about power and profit, and who use their own selfishness can be said to be fully exposed.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is another merciless revelation and whip by the emperor. It can be seen that his hatred for the party's struggle to harm the country and his selfish officials.
At the same time, this is also the reason the emperor found for his large number of officials and occupied the moral high point.
Although the serialization continues, combined with the already-defeated defeat of Liaochen and Guangning, 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 are better than words. In the past two years, the Ming army reversed its decline and the frequent reports of good news from all over the world are indeed a very powerful proof.
More powerful evidence continues to come, once again creating a joyful atmosphere in the capital, and soon spread among the people in a more popular way.
Bang! As soon as the sound of the wood was knocked, the storyteller talked about the heroic deeds of thousands of warriors fighting tens of thousands of Jiannu in the teahouse and the wine shop.
The story was a little thin at the beginning, but soon it became rich and detailed under the processing of Liu Mazi, Zhao Tiezui and others, and gradually reached the level of "heart-wrenching" and "blood veins".
This form of propaganda is actually easier for the people to accept than newspapers. After all, it is appreciated by both the elite and the masses, and there are very few ordinary people who know how to read.
Through the mouths of storytellers, public opinion propaganda among the people was also an experiment by Zhu Youxiao. If the effect is good, other art forms will also be adopted.
If you are a person, you are a person! Don’t talk about gossip, show off your reputation as a hero Wu Erlang; who says three bowls are not enough to beat the horse, and you can sweep all the liquor and beer...
Yes, the one who uses a small bamboo board and gestures with vernacular language is full of Shandong accent. Zhu Youxiao still finds it interesting. I wonder if it is available now.
In any case, the art forms that the people like can actually be promoted public opinion, but the popularity and popularity are different.
Many people do not understand the reason why the emperor did this, including the specific execution of the imperial pen Ni Wenhuan.
The sages have said: People can be used to make it, but not to know it. For ordinary people, they cannot read big words, what is the use of promoting them? There is a newspaper, so it is enough to read it to scholars.
In fact, this is the same as the preferential treatment given by the emperor to students. Many people do not understand the free teaching.
Popularizing education and improving the overall national quality, these high-end nouns are obviously something that Zhu Youxiao doesn’t want to say, and not many people can understand.
Since ancient times, education has been a matter for a few people. As for ordinary people, it is very good to be able to write their own names, let alone reading books and newspapers?
However, understanding the notice and knowing the country's policies and regulations, and understanding the documents without being deceived is Zhu Youxiao's basic requirement 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 starting from now on and taking the first step.
Let’s talk about the public opinion propaganda among the people, which is easy to understand and popular, just like the art troupes in the army in later generations and the big dramas in the countryside, the audience is wider and more guiding.
The common people are the easiest to be fooled. If they are not educated, can they be guided? The social status of soldiers is low. The efforts of the emperor alone or the court are not enough. Traditional public opinion among the people is also very important.
During the Battle of Guangning, the heroes such as Liu Yiguan from Xipingbao were given preferential treatment by the emperor and promoted them in the newspapers. Now, with this great victory, not only the word-of-mouthed news among the people, but also the effect was better.
The heroic spirit of 1,800 warriors had just set off a tide, attacking the Korqin tribe, annihilated 5,000 Jiannu and capturing the second Beile Amin of the Later Jin Dynasty, and spreading the capital one after another, causing a greater sensation.
Although he has won many battles from time to time in the past two years, the restoration of Lushun Fort, the restoration of Jinzhou, and now it is the first time to eliminate such a large number of Jiannu and capture such high-level enemy generals alive.
"What kind of official is Baylor?" Someone asked in a daze, and immediately rolled his eyes from others.
"The old slave calls himself the Khan King, and his nephew is the highest rank of Beller." Some people showed contempt and explained or showed off, "It is equivalent to a prince. There are only four Beller in total. This Amin is the old slave's nephew."
Oh, oh, the inquirer suddenly realized something, scratched his head and said, "I remember, the thousand-eight warriors fighting Jiannu are just fighting with some soldiers led by Da Beile Daishan?"
"Baldeshan is the son of the old slave. It turns out to be equivalent to the prince, but because of his soft ears, he abused his own son and was abolished by the position of prince..."
The fact that you can know Jiannu in such detail is the role of newspapers, storytellers, and even more so the role of Zhu Youxiao.
Just like the storytelling "The Complete Biography of Yue" was most circulated, no longer the culturally illustrious people knew the general story. They knew the villain Jin Wushu, Jin Danzi, Hamichi, and the heroes Yue Fei, Yue Yun, and Niu Gao!
The common people understood the situation of Jiannu, knew the name of the Ming army that fought bravely, and combined with the court's heavy rewards and encouragement, forming a spirit of caring about war and respecting soldiers was one of Zhu Youxiao's goals.
"There is no more detailed battle report?" Zhu Youxiao was not very satisfied in the palace.
Of course, Zhu Youxiao knew that the more detailed report was still on the way, and this was just the first briefing to be sent.
Because this is a very strict regulation, no matter how big or small the battle is, no matter how big or bad the battle is, there must be a detailed report. The Ministry of War will keep the archives, martial arts will be archived, and will be analyzed and studied, and then distributed to each department.
Learning about war in war is not just empty talk. Every bloody sacrifice must be valuable.
It is precisely because of this mechanism that the various units of the Ming army can absorb the experience and lessons of friendly forces, constantly adjust and make continuous progress.
For example, the Battle of Guangning exposed the weakness of Jiannu's attack. If traitors were eliminated and defending instead of attacking was the correct choice for the Ming army at a low point.
For example, the Lushun Fort defense counterattack war provided good reference for other Ming troops. It also proved that chest walls and trenches could effectively provide protection and effectively kill the enemy.
There is no need to experience it yourself, taste the taste of victory or failure, and there is no need to waste the lives of soldiers. Tactical play can be improved, precisely because of this continuous analysis and summary.
Therefore, while Zhu Youxiao was excited, he also wanted to know the detailed process of the battle.
The cavalry defeated the Jiannu cavalry, which was famous for cavalry and shooting in field battles. Although it was a bit difficult to talk about, it was not an exaggeration to call it a milestone.
Zhu Youxiao was eager to know the answer whether the cavalry wall played a big role or whether he won with other tactical styles.
After the autumn, a large number of cavalry in the Jing camp had to set out to western Liaoning. If useful information could be obtained from this battle, it would be crucial for the next stage of combat.
Seeing that the emperor seemed unhappy, Wang Tigan hurriedly said with a smile: "Emperor, isn't this time the prisoner ceremony a bit more grand? Jiannu's Erbeile is not easy to be able to capture his life."
After being distracted by the king's body, Zhu Youxiao also felt that he was fucked. Thinking about offering prisoner gifts, I felt that I should show it this time, and it was not common for me to see the people.
The last time I offered a prisoner ceremony, I was in a bad mood because of the bastard Xu Hongru. This time, while making compensation, it also allowed the world to see the emperor's authority and eliminate more possible obstacles.
The emperor also needs to gain reputation and authority. This is not uncommon. Only when the imperial power is strong can he suppress the civil servant group, let him go further and faster.
Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment and said, "It's good to boost the morale of the people. I will issue an order to transfer some heroes to Beijing, and the effect should be better."
The hero is ready-made and is still popular, and he is the survivor of the 1,800 warriors.
Zhu Youxiao has already prepared to use them as the backbone to form the strongest mixed alliance, and will give it the name "Stone" to make it unmoved.
The border army entered Beijing? Wang Tigan was stunned for a moment and immediately thought of the keyword "hero". I understood that there were only a few hundred heroes talking about outside.
If a naturalized cavalry can achieve such great achievements, they should also be given a name and a flag. The emperor touched his chin and began to think about rewarding merits.
There are also the Three Liaosan Associations who used infantry to repel Daishan, as well as other meritorious officers and soldiers from other departments. Even if they do not give names and flags, they should not be stingy with rewards of silver and medals.
"It is said that Dong Qichang came to the palace to meet him." The emperor raised his head and issued a somewhat abrupt decree.
Wang Tigan hurriedly sent someone to do it, but he didn't know why the emperor suddenly thought of Lord Dong from the prison ceremony.
Nonsense, Master Dong is here to design a logo flag or something, and the emperor is also going to do it himself? There is no problem in working as a carpenter, but being an artist, Zhu Youxiao thinks it is not his major.
………………………………………
Some people are happy and some are worried. It is normal for such a big world and so many people.
Zhu Youxiao in the palace only saw the entire Jiannu cavalry, captured the big fish Amin alive, and did not take the prisoners of war from the Korqin tribe who were taking to the capital seriously.
But some people are thinking about their parents and brothers and worrying about the safety of their relatives.
The carriage was moving forward in the pits and stumbled for a while before the thoughtful Hai Lanzhu raised her head and looked at the scenery along the road blankly.
When it comes to scenery, it can only be described as desolate. Although Guangning was restored, it will not place the people for the time being, and it belongs to the territory of military control.
There are two benefits of doing this. One is to avoid the people being poisoned by war. What if the Jianshu or the Mongols sneak attacked in? Secondly, it helps keep the military operations confidential, which is the same as the fact that they moved all the Liao people.
Although the Liao people could sneak across the Liaohe River and the Mongolian tribes were returning to the Han people, they only passed by in Guangning, going to Jinzhou and Ningyuan for resettlement, or going to the mainland to find relatives and friends.
To put it bluntly, it is easy to come in and go out. Except for the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in charge of the Ma City, no Han people would come out of seclusion. It is difficult for spies sent by the Later Jin or Mongolian tribes to sneak out again.
This trick is very good. The Later Jin did not get timely and accurate information, so he could only take out limited information from the gap deliberately left by the tutoring department. If you often read fake newspapers, you can also think of any mistakes in judgment.
For example, Nurhaci believed that the Ming court had dispatched elite troops from the nine sides to Liaoxi to reinforce, so he could only gather heavy troops in Liaochen, and the troops in other places were naturally insufficient to use.
The destination of Hai Lanzhu and the other two was the capital of the Ming Dynasty, because that was the end of the prisoner. There was no way. No matter how anxious they were, they had to follow the arrangements of the officials and the Ming army. It was unlikely that they would rush to catch up with their relatives.
I have already put on the clothes of the Han people. Although it is coarse cloth, it has become much cooler, although this cannot relieve the sadness and worries in my heart.
"I heard they were taking a boat to the beach." Bumubutai had just taken a nap, rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up, asking Darhan, "What does the sea look like? Is it bigger than the Chur River?"
Before Daerhan could speak, the Ming soldiers driving the car in front of him had already laughed and said, "Little girl, I have been staying in the Mongolians for too long, and I only know the Chuoer River. If it is compared with the sea, it is the difference between a small puddle and a big lake."
Bumu Butai consciously made up his words and entered the Ming realm, so he should speak less.
"You are heading to the mainland. You must take a boat to Jinzhou Port first, and then transfer to Tianjin to get ashore." Ming soldiers introduced in detail: "If you haven't taken a boat before, be careful of seasickness!"
Daerhan hurriedly asked with a smile: "Do you dare to ask Jun Ye, is there any way to prevent and control?"
The Ming army soldier smiled and said, "The method is 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 and there is no turning back. The day before yesterday, a large group of cavalry passed by and escorted the prisoners of the Later Jin Dynasty. I heard that there was a Beile inside, but she was a big official!
Fortunately, I didn't go to Houjin to find my aunt, otherwise I would have collided with Ming Jun and could not escape...
The sound of horse hooves sounded behind him, and Bumubutai quietly pulled down his sister's sleeve and signaled her to look back.
Several Mongolian warriors, accompanied by more than a dozen Ming cavalry, rode over, but they were Nuuk, the son of Ann, the leader of the Zarut tribe.
This young man was invited to the capital to meet the Emperor of Ming Dynasty. The five tribes of Neikhalk were invited to invite the sons and nephews of the leaders of each tribe to the capital.
Zhu Youxiao has already set his mind on the younger generation of Mongolian tribes, allowing them to see the rich and prosperous Ming Dynasty and receive the influence of the Ming culture.
This method is not new. In the Ming Dynasty, the two chieftains were built and recruited to study. In fact, the same thought was the same.
Mongol?
Hai Lanzhu and Bumubutai saw the familiar clothes and stared at them unconsciously, guessing what the identity of the Mongol who could carry weapons and the Ming army was?
Nuke realized that two eyes were staring at him, frowned slightly and turned to look. When he saw that they were two women, he was stunned for a moment, but when he saw the woman's face, his eyes couldn't turn away.
