The Khan of Monan was captured alive and brought to Shuntian Mansion. Such an achievement alone was enough for the civil servants to write something special about him. Even though the emperor often made rude remarks in the past, he can no longer say the same thing. Today, the three kings are alive, the ancient saints are resurrected, and Taizu Chengzu is reincarnated. It seems that he can strategize without doing anything at home. , decisive victory thousands of miles away.
This is a big event, so Shuntian and even the surrounding cities already know the cause and result of this war. As for the process, it is not important. In short, Khan came here not voluntarily. Knowing this is enough .
Some people among the people began to make artistic preparations for this attack on the Eastern Royal Court, and Father Ba Fanji, who had just been escorted by Matteo Ricci to the vicinity of Shuntian, as well as Kobayakawa Takakage and others, were instantly shocked by the news.
"The three Tatar tribes that had been entrenched in the northern part of the Ming Dynasty for two hundred years were difficult to exterminate. Two of them were wiped out in one battle?"
At that time, Mongolia was divided into three tribes. Among the three tribes, Oara was the most famous. This was because the Mingying clan had their heads blown off during the expedition, and they were also taken back to be foreign students. It can be said that the whole Eastern world knows the gods. After all, this matter is too big and too "shocking."
In the 14th year of Jingtai's reign, he first wanted to reestablish the Yuan Dynasty, hoping to be recognized by the Ming Dynasty. He even exchanged jade for yellow, purple, and red woven gold nine-dragon satin pieces, yellow and red colored satin clothes, gold pots, gold bowls and other items used by the Yuan Dynasty emperor. This matter was severely rejected by the Ming Dynasty.
But Wala's glory only ended here. Ye Xian was eventually betrayed by his own ministers and died tragically.
Later, the Tatars came back and killed the tribes of Oara. Oara gradually weakened, withdrew from the grassland world in the north, and began to migrate further west.
Later, Tatar also split into three parts.
"Two khans in the Eastern Royal Court and Monan Grassland, one dead and the other captured?"
Kobayakawa Takakage was so excited... that he was dying. I was thinking that it was a good thing that I came here and did not choose to go to the Xuanwei Division in the old port of Luzon. Otherwise, with the crazy momentum of the Ming Dynasty, I was afraid that I would have to go to sea thousands of miles away and have my skin peeled off?
"I heard that our government is preparing to regain the South China Sea and reorganize the Xuanwei Department in the old port."
"Indeed, I also heard that the Southern Dharma Master has sent a letter, expressing his willingness to contribute to the imperial court and not daring to stay outside the world."
People were talking everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the recent events were all crowded together. Big news came one day after another, and newspapers were scattered all over the streets.
"What is this?"
Kobayakawa Takakage found it strange that there was no such thing as a newspaper in Japan at this period, but the Ming Dynasty had always had an official "Dichao". The newspaper originated in the Northern Song Dynasty, but it was called a tabloid at that time, and it was not an official thing of the Song Dynasty. The imperial court Despite repeated bans, the newspapermen made a living by selling tabloids, and the news they published was available to everyone from all over the world, to the courts and temples, to the three religions and to the people.
And to the Ming Dynasty's "Di Chao". What is written here are basically current political issues, and most of them are circulated among officials and turned into official newspapers. However, in the eighth year of Wanli, newspapers appeared among the people. After the Song Dynasty, tabloids disappeared for three hundred years. Back on the stage of history.
"What kind of political system is there to have a conspiracy to influence others and not to expose it to the public? If the border defense is urgent, if the rumors contained in this paper are too big and shake people's hearts, wouldn't they miss a major event? Why not ban it?"
Kobayakawa Takakage was holding the tabloid with a puzzled look on his face, while the Minister of Rites who received them said: "In the 18th year of Wanli, someone had already said such a thing, but how could a private newspaper shake the foundation of the country and let them go? .”
"One word from the emperor can bring down the country, but one word from ordinary people is nothing more than a joke after dinner."
Officials don't care at all about such tabloids. After all, the country now is no longer comparable to the country before it. Even if there are people who are interested in using tabloids to promote rebellion...this kind of thing has already happened!
Kobayakawa Takakage was immediately stunned when he learned that the White Lotus Sect had openly used a printing house in the capital to print rebel stickers.
Do you dare to take on this big job of beheading?
Oh, it turns out that the emperor picked it up, so everything will be fine!
Kobayakawa Takakage was deeply shocked by the pragmatic spirit of doing things for money, and the confusing behavior of the White Lotus Sect made him even more shocked and confused. You shout rebellion while sending money to the imperial printing house, and then the imperial printing house will send you free shipping to your door...
For a moment, I didn't know who looked down on whom.
"Then... the matter that the imperial court said about rectifying the South China Sea... is it not just spread by these private tabloids, but is it really happening? How can such a major action be known to the people? It has made a fuss, if If there are too many troubles over there, wouldn’t it mean that great efforts will be wasted?”
"No trouble, no trouble. To rectify the south, the court will just remove some people symbolically."
The Minister of Etiquette also shook his hands as if he was completely shaken, but did not mention any more details. It gave people the feeling that the court did not care about the situation in the South China Sea, which made Kobayakawa Takakage uneasy.
When he arrived at the Catholic Church, Bafuji said to Kobayakawa Takakage: "This kind of newspaper does not exist in Japan. I wanted to create it in Japan back then, but it was terminated because of the massacre of Hideyoshi. You have never seen this kind of government, so for Ming Dynasty Chao’s reaction feels strange, but it’s completely normal.”
"Don't forget that the people can talk about national affairs, but what the country wants to do, they can use this kind of newspaper to cover up the past. Just like this time when the troops were sent to the Eastern Royal Court, Matteo Ricci told me that at least a month ago, about the uprising The matter of rectifying the South China Sea has already spread in the capital. However, the imperial court did not send troops to the South China Sea, nor did it go to the old port to announce the war, nor did it sail to Luzon. Instead, it directly sent troops to the Eastern Royal Court..."
"If the Tatars have something to do in the capital, the news they can find out is that the Ming Dynasty is going to use troops in the South China Sea, and it will definitely not go north to the eastern royal court entrenched in Liaodong."
A word awakens the dreamer, and the behavior of the Minister of Rites in arrogance is just a manifestation of wisdom. Because it is done to the extreme, you can't predict what he will do next.
Small newspapers spread rumors everywhere, which will not interfere with the decision-making of the Ming Dynasty, but will interfere with the decision-making of the Ming Dynasty's opponents.
"Brilliant, really brilliant!"
........
In the Forbidden City, after Emperor Wanli arranged for Namutai Chechen Khan, he heard about the arrival of Japanese surrender troops. Matteo Ricci handled the matter very well, which made Emperor Wanli look approvingly, and then Let Tian Yi arrange the meeting date.
"I still have something to do now."
