Liang Fang was a local and an old Yi Cheng. He was well-informed and good at telling stories. After a few words, he added details to the news he heard and told Hu Hui and others vividly.
Why Wenxian County was lost, countless soldiers died in the battle, and Wang Jingangnu was occupying Lueyang with great momentum...
To be serious, it's not necessarily a bad thing.
Liang Fang thinks this way:
The more serious the matter, the more the court will take it seriously. The more the court pays attention to it, the easier it will be to solve the problem...
Isn’t Geng Bingwen still alive?
It's not very good to use it after bringing it to Shaanxi.
After all, for Wang Jingangnu, Geng Bingwen's name should be a nightmare.
It's a pity that I'm just a messenger, so I can't send a message to the emperor. However, these people should be from the capital, and they probably have the right to pass the information up. If I make the matter more serious and scare them, maybe the news It will be spread to the ears of the emperor. When Geng Bingwen comes out of the mountain, Wang Jingang will have no choice but to be a slave.
Zhou Shu, Zhou Mengjian and others did not know the mystery, and were stunned for a while, as if Wang Jingangnu had conquered most of Shaanxi, and Xi'an Prefecture was in danger, and the war might spread to Shanxi at any time.
Hu Hui was very depressed. The emperor arranged for himself to be a publicity officer in order to publicize this kind of thing. Now that it is better and everyone knows it, what else is there to promote?
It’s true that good things don’t go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.
The transmission speed of this private news may not be slower than that of the eight hundred miles.
It seems that I need to change my strategy.
By the time Liang Fang finished cheating, Zhou Mengjian was already trembling. He took Zhou Shu's arm and said, "We need to report to the court immediately. This matter has become a critical situation."
"enough."
Hu Hui said in a low voice, "These matters are handled by the governor. We just have to do our own thing. Let's go to Taiyuan!"
The group left the inn and entered Taiyuan City.
Rujun received the news that Hu Xi had entered the city, and did not come forward in person. Instead, he arranged for Yang Pu to be responsible for the reception and placement.
Considering that the Propaganda Department needs to run a newspaper business, which requires a lot of manpower, and there is no room for it in the government office, they found an abandoned large house to the west of the government office, handed it over to Hu Hui and others, and ordered people to purchase it. Housing cost.
Hu Hu arranged for everyone to clean up and tidy up, and sent a message to rest for a day, and then had a secret talk with Yang Pu.
Yang Pu knew Hu Hui's true purpose. Seeing that there were no other eyes and ears, he said to Hu Hui: "When the Propaganda Department is started, it needs to be well-known. The first edition needs to attract a lot of attention and make a name for itself. Only in this way can the news be spread widely. Pass it on to the outside world. What do you think is the appropriate way to write the first version?"
Hu Hui pondered for a long time before saying: "According to what Zhou Shu, Zhou Mengjian and others said, the most conspicuous part of the first edition should be to respect the emperor and write poems and rhymes to demonstrate Jianwen, virtue and benevolent government. However, the content of the first edition is limited. , if this content occupies too much of the article, I am afraid it will not be conducive to the Ming Dynasty newspaper entering the public."
Yang Pu also knew this. It was the Ming Dynasty newspaper and it was launched by Emperor Jianwen. Without him on the first page, it would be unjustifiable. If someone labeled him as disrespectful to the monarch, he might not be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
But the problem is that the first page is the most conspicuous position and its space is limited. It is said that good steel is used on the blade, and this good space must also be used on more important events...
Yang Pu sighed: "I will make a decision after discussing this matter with Mr. Ru. The first step of the plan has been successfully completed, and the second step should also be in progress. If there are no accidents, the news should be spread within three to five days. To Shanxi,
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
You only have so much time. "
"The second step?"
Hu Hui knew that the entire plan was interconnected and connected step by step.
Thinking of the content of the second step, Hu Hui's eyes lit up and said: "The content of the first version will be based on the second step plan, but in terms of writing, it needs to be like this..."
After hearing this, Yang Pu was about to refute Hu Hui, but after thinking about it, he stopped saying anything and went to Ru Yu to discuss how to write the first page of the first page.
Rujun very simply solved this problem that Hu Hui, Yang Pu and others considered very difficult.
Since the space is limited and extremely precious, let’s reserve all of it for major events. As for respecting the Emperor, that’s easy. Let’s name the newspaper:
Daming Jianwen Newspaper.
This is named after the year, who can say that we don’t respect the emperor enough?
If Zhu Yunwen were here, he would also nod in approval. After all, cloisonné ceramics were produced in the middle of the Ming Dynasty. Jingtai is the reign name of Zhu Qiyu. Using this name is also a name given to please the emperor...
There is Hongwu Tongbao in the front and Jianwen Bao in the back. How simple and clear.
The craftsmen prepared quickly, and there was no shortage of corresponding materials in Shanxi. The accompanying craftsmen also brought a lot of blank engraving plates. As long as there were articles, they could be carved, printed, dried, sorted into newspapers, and then sold.
Hu Hui followed Zhu Yunwen's arrangement and recruited more than 300 teenagers in Taiyuan City at the price of fifteen cents per day. Their mission was only one:
Sell newspapers.
Because he was young and specialized in selling newspapers, many people in the city called him the newspaper seller.
Shaanxi, Feng County.
Countless people saw a scene that made them tremble with fear. For more than ten miles, Ming soldiers were fleeing in panic, sweating profusely and panting, but they did not dare to stop at all. Some even abandoned their helmets and armor and ran in a hurry.
Some people along the way asked the sergeant what happened and whether the White Lotus cultists were coming to kill them. As a result, an officer yelled at them: "We are just leading the sergeants to move forward quickly. The White Lotus cultists are coming to kill them. That's nonsense!"
"Emergency trip?"
The common people looked at this group of tens of thousands of soldiers and couldn't help but panic. These tens of thousands of soldiers had been defeated, so wouldn't they be seeking death if they stayed here?
No, run for your life, run for your life now!
The most terrifying thing in this world is not the locust plague or the flood, but the military disaster!
When soldiers and horses pass by, there will really be no grass growing.
Now this group of defeated troops didn't even have time to grab a handful, which meant that the White Lotus cultists were already very close. If they didn't run away now, what were they waiting for?
"Kill, kill, kill!"
A few miles away, shouts of killing could be heard in the mountains.
The people were frightened and fled in all directions.
Commander Span Ji sat on the horse and looked back at Feng County, which had been left behind. His eyes were very worried. He didn't know what Du Si was doing, so he only ordered that he command 20,000 sergeants to arrive at Wen County. , trained the army, practiced mountain climbing operations, and then ordered a retreat.
If you want to retreat, just retreat. Why do you have to rush forward to every county, prefecture and other places without stopping for even a moment or communicating with the people?
This team indeed looks like a miserably defeated team. No one who has been running around for so many days, sleeping in the open air, will have a better image.
The White Lotus Sect is coming to kill you?
As far as I know, Wang Jingangnu is huddled in Motian Ridge. There are only a few hundred people, not more than a thousand at most. How dare he chase a large army?
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
But military orders are military orders. If you don’t understand them, just follow them.
A few days later, the news reached Shanxi, which was earth-shattering:
The White Lotus Sect defeated fifty thousand Ming troops. The Ming army abandoned their helmets and armor and fled to Baoji in Lueyang. They passed through Feng County but failed. The White Lotus sects followed and chased them. The Ming army was again defeated...
Suddenly, Shanxi was shaken. The Dusi Yamen ordered sergeants from various defense stations to form an army of 30,000, with the goal of approaching Jincheng. At the same time, the Chief Envoy Yamen issued a document for the recruitment of migrant workers, and specifically marked a sentence in red letters in the document:
Considering that immigrants have been away from their homeland for a long time and have difficult human relations, all immigrant households are not included in the recruitment of migrant workers. If there is any violation, they will be severely punished.
As soon as this provision came out, the immigration dilemma was solved, and people in various places took the initiative to report immigrants.
Shortly thereafter, the Ming Dynasty Jianwen Newspaper came into being, appearing as a way of "hardly resisting" world public opinion.
"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, the Ming Dynasty Jianwen Newspaper, the secrets of the imperial court, the world's affairs, all in it, sell newspapers."
"How much does a newspaper cost?"
"Five pennies."
"Give me one."
Taiyuan Jiao Yuan Tong took out five cents and bought a copy of the Ming Dynasty Jianwen Newspaper, and then saw the most eye-catching title on the first page:
The White Lotus Sect in southern Shaanxi is causing chaos, which is just false talk!
Yuan Tong's eyes widened immediately. Isn't this Jianwen Bao too bold? He actually openly said in the newspaper that there was no rebellion from the White Lotus Sect in southern Shaanxi, and spread the rumor publicly. How is this possible? You must know that the rebellion of the White Lotus Sect in southern Shaanxi has been going on for some time. Bad news comes every day, and there are countless witnesses.
Looking carefully at this manuscript, the writing is easy to understand. It begins by saying that the White Lotus Sect King Vajra Nu in southern Shaanxi was originally very weak. Although it has developed for three years, it only has a thousand people and will not destroy the city of Wen County, let alone Don't mention the defeat of the Ming Dynasty sergeant. All news is just rumors and cannot be trusted...
In order to increase the persuasiveness, the article also made comparisons from aspects such as terrain, military strength, and popular support, and finally concluded:
The so-called White Lotus Rebellion is just spreading rumors. They are all lies and cannot be trusted.
When Yuan Tong saw the end, his eyes fell on the signature, which was astonishingly: Commander Shi Si, Commander of Shanxi Capital, Tongzhi Qilianshan.
"What exactly is going on?"
Yuan Tong couldn't understand. On the one hand, there was a storm in the city and people were uneasy. On the other hand, there were newspapers refuting the rumors. It was like a group of people saying black and a group of people saying white. It was difficult to distinguish between black and white.
Looking through other contents, in addition to excerpts from Zhu Yunwen's "On Cats", most of them focus on immigration policy, folk interests, new miscellaneous studies, and folk interests.
In the last edition, a grain transportation calculation question was reserved, and it was specially marked that the first thirty people who answered correctly could receive ten cents from the Jianwen newspaper.
After reading the entire Jianwen Newspaper, Yuan Tong was completely impressed. He was able to design a newspaper that integrated current policies, policies, folk policies, new learning, folk customs, and outstanding topics. This person must be extraordinary. He must go and see him. See.
In the Jianwen newspaper, the address of the Propaganda Department was marked in small characters. When he saw that the Propaganda Department doctor was named Hu Hui, Yuan Tong couldn't help but was stunned and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It turned out to be brother Yuan Jie, but he missed it during the interview that day. "
Just when Yuan Tong took the Jianwen Newspaper to look for Hu Hu, Ding Jingfu from the Chief Envoy's Yamen was getting angry. He slapped the Jianwen Newspaper on the table and shouted sternly: "What does the Propaganda Department do for food? How can the Jianwen Newspaper be like this?" Writing! If it is a rumor that the White Lotus Rebellion in Shaanxi Province is a rumor, then our recruitment of migrant workers will make everyone laugh! Come on, arrest this Hu Hui and ask him what his intentions are!"
