Chapter 145 Public Opinion

Yang Jingwei has decided to launch this newspaper as a tool to lead public opinion.

Seeing that the emperor was very confident, it seemed that this was leading the public opinion in the world. The matter that Shilin discussed was very simple, so he felt that this matter was a bit unreliable. Historically, public opinion was in the hands of scholars. In this dynasty, now, it is more specific, that is, in the hands of the "Donglin Party", and after thinking about it, it would explain the key and power to the emperor clearly to the emperor. Don't let the emperor take it for granted, thinking that the emperor could control the entire public opinion of the Shilin. If the public opinion of this isolated salt merchant cannot be launched, this matter will be out of touch.

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, this worldly public opinion is discussed by the Sin Lin. Your Majesty is sure to be sure?"

"I am sure about controlling public opinion, haha, I am still sure. Master Sun, don't be anxious. After a while, I will get this thing that leads public opinion." Yang Jing is not worried at all that he can't lead public opinion. This newspaper is a big killer and will completely take over the right to guide public opinion. After reading a basket of Yang Jing through time novels, he still has this confidence. In this inner court, there is his own printing agency, and it is not difficult to open a newspaper.

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry for being too talkative. This public opinion in the world is not so easy to control. Your Majesty... Public opinion has always been a magic weapon used by people in the Shilin to suppress the emperor. Your Majesty, this matter cannot be done easily..." Sun Chengzong finally clarified the "truth" and the emperor.

This public opinion, or the Qing dynasty or the public opinion of Shilin, has always been just a tool used by the people in Shilin to suppress the imperial power. Of course, it can not only suppress the emperor, but also suppress dissidents. It is an ancient "big killing weapon". How could all officials easily hand over this public opinion to the power? If the emperor suppressed it, this matter would definitely end with the emperor not being able to come to Taiwan and the emperor had no choice but to do anything, because at that time, the emperor had to face the entire Shilin. To be more important, he would be the scholars in the world.

Seeing that the emperor was speaking so easily, Sun Chengzong thought that the emperor did not know how powerful it was, so he secretly was anxious for the emperor and had to make this clear, hoping to attract the emperor's attention and take this matter seriously. Otherwise, the entire plan would fail and the Ming Dynasty would not be able to afford it.

Yang Jing was very puzzled. Why did Sun Chengzong always keep on the issue of public opinion guidance? I don’t know that all officials used public opinion to suppress the emperor. As soon as my newspaper was released, all the clear discussions and public opinions of Shilin were a scumbag!

Sun Chengzong was anxious. After talking for a long time, he saw that the emperor was not anxious at all. He thought to himself that he was not clear enough about what he said? He said all this, and did the emperor really understand the twists and turns in it?

"Your Majesty... Is Your Majesty really clear about the power of this?" Sun Chengzong was really unable to see through the emperor this time. This Qing Dynasty and Shilin publicly discuss the issue of public opinion guidance. For thousands of years, the emperors have never won much. Basically, they lose more and win less. The winners are all unreasonable. They are usually founding emperors, or the emperors who have experienced the founding country have the courage, or they simply do it in the last emperor. In general, emperors in peaceful eras want to compete with Shilin for the right to public opinion guidance on this issue, which is mostly not pleasing!

Yang Jing felt that Sun Chengzong was a bit of a big deal about this problem. Perhaps the ancient emperors had a hard time controlling all public opinion in their hands due to their vision, so they could not stop people from speaking. However, the time travelers expressed no pressure on this. Once this newspaper was released, the public opinion in the world would no longer be wrong as some scholars would. As the saying goes, justice is in the hearts of the people. Perhaps most people in the world cannot read, but they can understand others and comment on this truth. At that time, the emperor will achieve the goal of unifying public opinion in the world by controlling newspapers. In the eyes of later generations, it is just a very simple thing.

"Haha, Master Sun, what you said about the officials and scholars used public opinion to suppress the imperial power. I know and understand the truth. I am not whimsical and want to control the public opinion orientation... Haha, Master Sun doesn't have to worry about this issue. I will have a solution. I will be surprised by this. This thing will completely break the history of the officials and scholars controlling the public opinion orientation. I will also control this public opinion orientation power in my own hands. At that time, Master Sun will watch the show, hahaha..."

Otaku Yang Jing trusted this newspaper with 120,000 yuan.

Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor in surprise. The emperor knew even this? The emperor actually said the words "all officials used public opinion to suppress the imperial power". I don't know where the emperor learned this kind of "things"? It was taught by the emperor again. Sun Chengzong didn't dare to say such words to the emperor. If it weren't for the cliffs of the state, Sun Chengzong would not be willing to mention such things. However, the emperor seemed to understand it, and knew it, and was not anxious or annoyed. Sun Chengzong felt that he could not see clearly about the emperor.

"Since Your Majesty is so sure that this can control the direction of public opinion, I will not talk much. However, I am sorry that I am brave. If Your Majesty cannot control the direction of public opinion, I will advise Your Majesty not to act rashly. Also, if Your Majesty needs the world's public opinion to develop in a situation that is beneficial to Your Majesty, I may think of some solutions... I was also a person who had been included in the "Donglin Dian General Record" in his early years. In this "Donglin Dian General Record", he was ranked as a short star. Now most of the public opinion in the world has been in the control of the people of Donglin... Although he cannot completely control public opinion, it can at least play a role..."

Sun Chengzong was willing to go out. Today, he was using this taboo in the officialdom again and again. It was not that Sun Chengzong was foolish, but that the Ming Dynasty was about to collapse, and he was also the one who stepped into the coffin with half his foot, so he didn't care about so many taboos. There was no taboo when a person was about to die; there was no taboo when a country was about to die.

"Haha, Master Sun is just joking... I am free to deal with this."

Donglin? Donglin Party? Alas, the performance of Donglin Party in the future will be a nightmare! Yang Jing sighed at the Donglin Party again.

In this matter, Yang Jing did not intend to use Sun Chengzong's relationship with the Donglin Party. It was not that Yang Jing looked down on the Donglin Party, but that their "historical achievements" were too bad. If it were the original Chongzhen, he might have happily accepted Sun Chengzong's suggestions. However, for the time traveler Yang Jing, it was another matter.

Seeing that the emperor insisted, Sun Chengzong stopped talking. Today, he had committed many taboos in the officialdom for this state.

"Since Your Majesty insists, I won't say much. Even if this step is like this, then, then, using what Your Majesty said, the nationwide crackdown on the merchants of rebellion, isolated the salt merchants in one fell swoop, and used the matter to rebellion to oppress all officials, so that all officials dare not act without action, and then used salt to defeat the salt merchants, and gathered the salt industry in one fell swoop. The Jinyiwei, Your Majesty has already arranged it in Jiangnan, and it should not be a big problem. Behind the Jinyiwei, His Majesty's new army, is even more safe. I think that as long as you operate, the problem is not big." Sun Chengzong no longer cared about the issue of public opinion power, but began to arrange the steps to cut salt merchants.

"Well, yes, once public opinion is raised, it will quickly sell salt drying in large quantities. At the same time, it will suppress salt merchants and officials, so that they dare not act rashly. It would be better if they don't move. Once something happens, I will authorize the commander of the Jinyiwei Fang Hongzan to suppress it immediately. If Fang Hongzan dares to let the water go, my new army will not be a vegetarian." Yang Jing was very confident in his arrangement.

This step is a critical step, a step to decide the outcome, and a step with the most variables. Sun Chengzong thought carefully for a while before he reached: "This is possible."

"Haha, yes! Master Sun, the Ming Dynasty hopes that this salt class will save lives. No matter how powerful the salt merchant is, no matter how deep the combination is, I will cut it down." Yang Jing said with a smile.

Sun Chengzong frowned and thought for a while, and said, "Your Majesty's words are reasonable. The Ming Dynasty has reached the edge of the cliff. If you still shrink, the result will be endless! Your Majesty has great wisdom, great perseverance, and great courage. The various matters arranged by Your Majesty are linked together and have a profound layout... To put it unpleasantly, these elite soldiers in the world have gathered in the capital for Your Majesty. Even if someone wants to rebel, they have to consider it..." Sun Chengzong was "very optimistic about the emperor's methods. No matter what, at least the elite soldiers in the world are in the hands of the emperor, and have won at least three points.

"Haha? Rebellion? I am not afraid of rebellion. As Master Sun said, all the elites in the world were concentrated in the capital by me. Otherwise, who else could have such great ability to rebel? To suppress it, just a flash of his fingers." Yang Jing was very proud. The excuse that the elites in the world could enter the capital to defend the capital was his own proud work. The excuse was that the wild boar skin might enter the pass. The sand table deduction scared the ministers to dare not object to the transfer of troops into the capital. He thought that he was transferring troops into the capital to deal with the Donglu, but unexpectedly, there was another spearhead for his own troops, which was to target them. At that time, the wild boar skin would also be beaten, the salt merchant would also cut, and even deal with the rebellious farmers.

Yang Jing felt that there was nothing more terrifying than committing suicide by himself and the demise of the Ming Dynasty? If he wanted to avoid the tragedy of the 17th year of Chongzhen, he would definitely have some actions. If he had some actions, he would have to touch the interests of some people. This would lead to conflicts. If he was afraid of this, he might as well find a rope to hang himself in advance.

"Your Majesty, there are a few more things. I am not very clear about it. Please let Your Majesty make it clear." The two knots in Sun Chengzong's heart were one of the two knots in the mind of Sun Chengzong, one of which was to buy the Mongolians and let them spy on the news, and the other was why Man Gui's six thousand people were divided into six thousand teams? These two issues seem to have little to do with the salt-cutting merchants. At most, it can be regarded as part of the collection of evidence of Shanxi merchants. However, wouldn't such a big fight be wasted?

"Oh? What else does Master Sun not understand? Say it directly?"

"Your Majesty, this minister has always wanted to remind Your Majesty that military information is related to the safety of the country. Your Majesty should not rely entirely on the Mongolians. You should have your own horse-striking horses and not accept them at night, and you must have your own meticulous work!" Sun Chengzong said his worries worriedly.

"Haha, it's this matter, it doesn't matter. I have already made arrangements to collect information and divide it into multiple routes. I have arranged for Cao Huachun to focus on the intelligence in Mongolia. Master Sun also knows this."

"I know this, but it is the place where the old minister is worried. The factory guard has always been responsible for His Majesty, but the old minister takes care of His Majesty. The news is passed by the old minister and then sent back to the frontier general. This time, it takes too long to take time and is not conducive to the war!" Sun Chengzong's concerns naturally make sense. The factory guard has always been responsible for the emperor, and the emperor has always been the first. When the emperor gets the news, he will turn back to the place. This time, the delay will be long.

"Master Sun, don't worry about this matter. In terms of intelligence, in addition to Cao Huachun, there is also the Mongolian tribe. The army itself has its own intelligence system and does not accept it at night. This is not contradictory. The army is only responsible for military intelligence. Cao Huachun is focusing on comprehensive information, including military, people's livelihood, materials, etc. This is not a conflict. Master Sun is responsible for coordinating and sharing information from both sides. When necessary, I will inform Cao Huachun and let his staff assist the border generals."

Yang Jing's arrangement was really out of helplessness. Originally, when fighting, the army had its own intelligence system. However, in the late Ming Dynasty, the system in the army had almost completely failed, so Yang Jing had to make some intelligence systems that replaced the army. Otherwise, relying solely on the military intelligence system, I would not know when the wild boar skin arrived in Beijing.

"The old minister still doesn't understand why Man Gui's six thousand elites were divided into six thousand teams and divided into areas. Your Majesty plans to stay for a long time? Isn't this dispersing the troops? Is Your Majesty just trying to capture those Shanxi merchants who are plotting against? There is no need to do this! Is it that a few merchants miss the net, and the weight of these six thousand elites cannot be compared to the same as the weight of these six thousand elites!" Sun Chengzong didn't understand why.

"This is how I consider this. Isn't the Donglu clearing the roads in Mongolia now? After the Donglu has been cleaned, I will also prepare to clean it up. At that time, Yuan Chonghuan will go west from Liaodong outside the pass, and the Guizhou is on the edge wall, sorting it out from south to north. In this way, soon, the tribes that have resentment towards our dynasty will be cleaned up by the tribes that surrender to our dynasty. If they do not obey our dynasty, they will be prepared for destruction... I heard that the Donglu's Later Jin is preparing to expand the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the idea is to use Mongolian

The ancients enriched their wings... My plan was to organize the Mongolian Imperial Army to assist our dynasty in fighting, and use our dynasty's elite to suppress these Imperial Army troops, so that they could fight against the Eastern Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Eight Now, it is not nonsense.

"Expanding the Eight Mongolian Banners? Is this true?" After receiving this news, Sun Chengzong was very nervous. The most fatal weakness of the Eastern Jin Dynasty was that the population was small, but there were not many elite soldiers in the battle. Even if the Ming Dynasty had many defeats in the years, the Eastern Jin Dynasty could not withstand the large number of people in the Ming Dynasty, and some of them had to be tortured to death by a group of elite elites of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Therefore, if we keep grinding like this, as long as the Later Jin Dynasty could not withstand and made mistakes, it would be an irreversible failure and would lose all the entire market. However, the Ming Dynasty could still come back if it failed and had the "right" of failure.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Sun Chengzong had always had a great psychological advantage over the Eastern Repelling of the Later Jin Dynasty, believing that it would not matter if the Ming Dynasty failed several times. As long as there was a turnaround, the Later Jin Dynasty would lose all the money. Now when he heard the emperor say that the Eastern Repelling of the Later Jin Dynasty used the Mongols to fill its wings, then the situation of few people and few soldiers would be reversed immediately. At that time, the advantage of the Ming Dynasty would be gone. And the Mongolian side that had been suppressing and fighting was also unpredictable. It was really decay and extremely bad.

"This is definitely true. How can we play the big military and national affairs be a joke? However, not many people know about this matter, and even the Eastern Reichs and Later Jin may still be discussing specific methods. Therefore, I have to take the lead." Yang Jing remembered that the first time the wild boar skin entered the pass next year, and many Mongolian tribes gathered. It was precisely because of the successful robbery that they established prestige on the Mongolians that the Eight Banners of the Mongolians were established. The situation of the shortage of the population of wild boar skin was improved. Therefore, Yang Jing was very concerned about this and weakened the strength of his opponents. This was very necessary.

"If this is the case, then your Majesty must be careful! The Eastern Captains and Later Jin have a great ambition! In this way, it is completely feasible for your Majesty to organize the Imperial Army. So that's it, so that's it..." Sun Chengzong began to add the weight of the Eastern Captains and Later Jin in his mind. He immediately agreed to the Emperor's organization of the Imperial Army. No wonder the emperor always said that he wanted to bribe the Mongols, and always said that he wanted to send Mangui to clean up Mongolia. It turns out that the roots are here! The emperor's news is really well-versed! This factory guard is really powerful! Even the news inside the Eastern Captains and Later Jin can be found. No wonder the Shanxi merchants were planning to rebel. The emperor knew it clearly. It turned out that the emperor had put nails inside the Eastern Captains! Sun Chengzong's impression of the emperor was even better. By the way, he also increased his favor to the Jinyiwei and the East Factory.

"Since that's the case, I suggest that Your Majesty immediately expand the scale of this Imperial Army. Be sure to collect a group of elite Mongolian troops before the Eastern Seiji. Think about it, if the Eastern Seiji Later Jin wants to expand the Mongolian Eight Banners in the future, it will probably not be that simple. In the future, these Imperial Army can also harass the Eastern Seiji and make the Eastern Seiji uneasy every day." Sun Chengzong figured it out, and immediately, with excitement, he immediately suggested that the emperor expand the Imperial Army and cut off the wild boar skin and rely on the full wings of the Mongols.

Yang Jing looked at Sun Chengzong who was "danced" and was very "super" as he looked like the Imperial Army was just a "museum" proposed by the leader of a small Mongolian tribe, but now it has become a powerful tool to fight wild boar skin! This, I have to say, things in the world are impermanent.
