Chapter IV National Mobilization

The power of people's war is endless. Zhu Cijiu knows the truth well, so he naturally will not learn from the past emperors as lonely people who are separated from the people. People's war does not mean that everyone is rushing forward to fight, but that the whole people must participate, so that they can unite and exert their greatest combat effectiveness.

So how can we connect with the people under our rule? To maintain the authority of the emperor, we must be high above and overlook all living beings; to connect with the people under our rule, we must communicate with them. The people under our rule may know what the people under our rule are thinking, but what an emperor is thinking is impossible for the people under our rule to know. He cannot run to tell every citizen what I want to do today and what I want to do tomorrow. No emperor in the past could convey his wishes to every citizen, but Zhu Cijiong had it.

Newspapers are the links and bridges of communication. Through newspaper propaganda, the people of the Ming Dynasty can think and work together with them.

Of course, people's thoughts are the most difficult to control. It is not that if you think about others and you, others will definitely think about you. It is very difficult to control people's thoughts, and ordinary people cannot do it at all. Fortunately, Zhu Cijiu is not an ordinary person. He traveled through time. In his previous life, he saw more things like mobilizing the whole nation. How to guide and control them, there are ready-made examples. He just needs to let Wu Meicun follow suit.

When Wu Meicun hurried to the imperial study room, Zhu Cijiu was reading carefully with a copy of the Beijing News. He was afraid of interrupting the emperor's elegance, so he had to bow and stand at the desk and wait quietly.

Zhu Cijing had actually seen him, but the articles of the No. 1 Scholar in this issue were really exciting. He couldn't help but read it in one breath, and then smiled and said, "This No. 1 Scholar's article is really exciting. No wonder five million newspapers were sold out. It's not bad. You have a good idea. But there are only so many No. 1 Scholars in the world. Have you thought about what to do next?"

Wu Meicun replied confidently: "If you go back to the emperor, I will find some colleagues who have passed the first Jinshi and continue to discuss the title of the Golden List. If you can get the first Jinshi and get the first Jinshi, your literary talent is actually similar. I think the emperor should mainly look at the right content when ranking the ranking."

Zhu Cijing recalled that this is true. He presided over the palace examination twice and read a lot of test papers in person each time. When it comes to literary talent, he really didn't see the level. However, what he chose to do was not the right content, but the name. The most famous one in the future must be the most powerful one. It's that simple. Wu Meicun must know that he is this standard, and his eyes will probably fall out.

Of course, Zhu Cijiu could not tell Wu Meicun this standard. He nodded, skipped the question directly, and said in the school: "I will regain Liaodong next year. Can you let the people of the Ming Dynasty wave flags and shout for me, or even contribute money and efforts?"

Wu Meicun was stunned when he heard this, his head started to run wildly, this and that. After thinking for a while, he tentatively replied: "Why would you like to publish a special issue of Liaodong to write about how Jiannu burned, killed and looted Liaodong."

Zhu Cijing shook his head and said, "It's not enough."

Wu Meicun said carefully again: "Why don't you come to another issue? It's specifically about how miserable the people of Liaodong Han have lived now?"

Zhu Cijing continued to shake his head and said, "It's not enough."

Wu Meicun racked his brains for a while before continuing to reply: "Why don't you come here again to introduce the rich products and vast land in Liaodong?"

Seeing that he had no clue, Zhu Cijing talked about it and knew that it would be impossible to let him plan it completely, so he had to explain it systematically: "You are not good at making a hammer and a stick. You must proceed step by step. First, write about the rich products and vast land in Liaodong, so that the people feel that it is a pity that such a great river and mountains were taken away by Jiannu. Then write about how Jiannu treated the people of Liaodong, so that they could see the faces of the invaders clearly, and don't be lucky; then write about how Jiannu burned and killed them in Liaodong.

The looting aroused the righteous indignation of the people; then the people wrote about how miserable the Han people in Liaodong have lived now, so that the people can know the consequences of the rule of the invaders and aroused their resistance; then the people can write about the cruelty of Jiannu, and they wantonly hunted and killed the people in Liaodong, captured the Liao people as slaves, and massacred the city in detail, which made the people of the Ming Dynasty furious and wanted to bite Jiannu and bitten them. Finally, I will arrange a few more examples, shake the flag and shout, and contribute money and efforts to let the people know what they should do."

After this introduction, Wu Meicun was so impressed that he bowed respectfully: "The emperor is really a god, and the humble minister has received his teachings."

This is all plagiarism, okay? Zhu Cijiu shook his hand a little embarrassedly and continued: "Don't publish the special issue. It's a bit too deliberate to write about Liaodong all over the whole article. Other contents should be a little bit a little bit. Just do this, write about Liaodong on the front and other content on the back, and have a few more issues, and you can finish it before the New Year."

Wu Meicun quickly bowed and said, "I obey the order."

Seeing that what Zhu Cijing said was almost done, he asked, "Is there any other problem? If not, go and prepare quickly."

Wu Meicun thought about it and said with a look of distress: "This, I have never seen the tragic situation of the Liao people with my own eyes, I am afraid I will not write it well."

Zhu Cijing said angrily: "You have never seen anyone, of course, there are many people who have fled from Liaodong to the capital. If you go to the call for manuscripts, are you worried that no one will contribute to you? Be careful when reviewing the manuscript. If you don't write too gently, you must write a little miserable. If you don't write miserable enough, you can polish it. It's best to make people furious when they see it. Do you understand?"

Wu Meicun nodded with understanding: "I understand."

............

The Beijing News has reported extensively on the properties and beautiful scenery of Liaodong in recent days. Scholars from all over the Ming Dynasty have also habitually discussed the Liaodong following the reports of the Beijing News.

The wind direction in various parts of the Ming Dynasty changed, changing the joyful scenes that had been everywhere some time ago. More and more people sighed: "Ah, such a great river and mountain was occupied by Jiannu. What a pity, it's such a pity."

Some people complain from time to time: "Yes, it's a pity. Now that the Ming army is so powerful, why don't you regain Liaodong?"

The speaker seems unintentional, but the listener pays attention. This sound is increasing, and the sigh becomes a complaint.

These seemingly unintentional people are actually secret spies of the Jinyiwei. Spy from all over the country has received secret orders from Shangfeng to participate in the discussions of scholars and guide them in time.

When sighs turned into complaints, the Beijing News began to report on the harsh policies implemented by Jiannu in Liaodong and the oppression of the people of Liaodong.

Some people cursed and empathized with each other. Some people continued to complain: "What's wrong with the imperial court? Jiannu didn't treat the people of Liaodong as human beings. Why didn't he regain Liaodong and save the people?"

So the complaints became louder and louder. At this time, the Beijing News began to report on how Jiannu burned, killed and looted Liaodong. Now the people of the Ming Dynasty were angry, and there were curses everywhere in the Ming Dynasty.

Some people were very excited from time to time, clamoring to write a letter together, asking the court to send troops to Liaodong to clean up the Jianshu.

More and more people followed the trend, and many joint letters were really created. At this time, the Beijing News began to report the tragic situation of the Han people in Liaodong, which was even more amazing. The Ming Dynasty cursed even more fiercely, not only those who scolded Jiannu, but also those who even scolded the court for being incompetent.

There were also people in the middle of this who were angry from time to time, clamoring to go to Liaodong to fight Jiannu. There were a large number of people following the trend. Of course, it was impossible to go to Liaodong, but more and more people said they wanted to go.

At this time, the Beijing News began to report on the cruelty of Jiannu again, and they wanted to kill the people in Liaodong, arrested the Liao people as slaves, and massacred the city one by one, one by one, and were extremely miserable. The listeners were sad and crying when they smelled it.

Jiannu was so inhumane. Now the people of the Ming Dynasty were angry and roared that more and more people were going to deal with Jiannu. There were even situations where the county government offices surrounded the county government and strongly demanded that the court send troops to recover Liaodong.

At this time, the Beijing News reported a major news that the Rixinglong Business Group donated 10 million taels of silver and asked the court to send troops to Liaodong to clean up the Jianshu.

For a time, there were many cheers in the Ming Dynasty. The Rixinglong Business was given the title of patriotic businessman. The threshold of the semicolons in various places was almost broken, and the business was so popular!

The next day, the Beijing News reported another major news. The Ming Dynasty's Atlantic Trade also donated 10 million taels of silver, asking the court to send troops to Liaodong and clean up the Jianshu.

Ming Atlantic Trade? What is this? Coastal maritime merchants may have heard of such a business, but the people in other parts of the Ming Dynasty do not know what the Ming Atlantic Trade is for. It is fine if the Japanese Xinglong Business is recognized by the people. It is the number one business in the Ming Dynasty. It is rich enough to rival a country. It is not surprising that they can donate 10 million taels of silver. Suddenly, a name that Ming Dynasty, which has never been heard of, is so generous!

The people of the Ming Dynasty could not sit still, and the rich donated generously, one or two taels, five cents, a few ounces, and a few ounces of money to raise money. Then they sent a representative to take the list and go to the county government office to donate money. Those who had no money also began to petition and go to Liaodong to work hard, and do whatever they dare! Everyone only asked one, asking the court to send troops to clean up the Jianshu, and restore the country and the country!

This made officials from all over the country stupid. In the past, the imperial court had increased taxes when its finances were tight. The collection was so difficult. The common people complained. Now, they all sent the money to the yamen. If you don’t accept them, you will be anxious!

No government offices in various places dare to make decisions. This is without precedent. Who dares to accept it?

When Zhu Youjian came to Zhu Cijiong with a stack of memorials, our Emperor Chongzheng smiled. He wanted this effect. The whole people called for a fight, and they wrote a letter together, and they donated money and petitioned. This was what he wanted to fight!

So he waved his hand and said proudly: "Come, collect everything, tell them that I will give an explanation to the people of the whole country tomorrow."

Zhu Youjian looked at him for no reason and thought to himself: "What are you going to explain?"

Zhu Cijiong's explanation was that the next day, the front page of the Beijing News released a sage edict:

I also want to regain Liaodong, but now the road is blocked from the capital and Liaodong is not accessible. I hereby solemnly promise that when the ice and snow melt in the spring next year, I will lead my army northward and attack Liaodong directly, and will not regain the entire Liao Dynasty and swear to not withdraw troops.

As soon as the sage was released, the whole nation was thrilled.
Chapter completed!
