Zhou Hou looked at Chongzhen nervously. She knew that it must be a bad thing, but she didn't dare to ask too much. She was nervous, and Wang Chengen was even more stern and said nothing.

After a while, Chongzhen exclaimed and said, "The thief has occupied Linqing and said that the Eastern Captains are about to invade, and he will occupy Linqing to protect the people of Shandong!"

"ah?"

Zhou Hou covered his mouth and exhaled quietly.

Even Wang Chengen's brows jumped.

Chongzhen didn't say anything, his eyebrows were furious.

Zhou Hou couldn't help asking: "Emperor, is the invasion of the Eastern Captains true or false?"

Chongzhen shook his head with no confidence: "It depends on how Ma Shaoyu talked about this trip."

"That……"

Zhou Hou looked over worriedly.

In the past, Chongzhen would inevitably get angry when he interrogated Zhou Hou repeatedly, but now he has the mentality of giving up on himself. Instead, he explained patiently: "The old silly king is cunning and insidious, and he has a spy in Beijing. He knows the direction of our dynasty, Ma Shaoyou...ah!"

This sigh made Zhou Hou feel cold for half a year, and even his husband, who was the emperor, was not optimistic, which shows that the Qing army's sixth trip south was very likely. Although she could not leave the palace, she was not without ears and ears outside the palace. She had heard of the disasters caused by the Qing army's previous trips to the south, and knew that every time the Qing army went south, it would plunder a large amount of wealth and population to go out of the customs. With one decline and the other rising, the Ming Dynasty became weaker and stronger, and it is no exaggeration to say that Songjin's defeat was the result of the Qing army's first five trips to the south.

"Emperor, since Li Xin is willing to share the worries of the country, why not transfer him to Hebei?"

Zhou Hou asked carefully.

"I'm afraid he can swallow my Beijing city!"

Chongzhen groaned.

Although there are many evidences that the so-called Hebei officers and soldiers want to kill Tang Tong and other generals to file a complaint with Li Xin was a rumor that several rogues brats brag about to show off their scoundrels, Chongzhen dared not be ambiguous. The difference between Li Xin and Li Zicheng is still very obvious. Li Zicheng mostly attacked and fought hard. In the past two years, the morale of the official army has been dispersed. I have never heard of anyone taking the initiative to vote for Li Zicheng, and most of them fled in scattered areas.

Li Xin is different. Most of the cities and armies surrender without fighting. There is even news from Dongchang Fan from Huaiyang: Huai'an soldiers have said more than once, Commander, we are looking forward to being your soldiers!

What a bastard?

Such words were like needles, piercing Chongzhen's heart! How dare he put Li Xin in Hebei? Maybe the grassroots soldiers heard that Li Xin was coming, and they could really mutiny and rumors became reality.

"Since he is pleading for the people, I will look at him to see if he has such ability!"

Chongzhen waved his hand, turned around and left.

Looking at her husband's hurrying back, Zhou Hou felt a little uneasy. She didn't know what position to stand on, and from the people's stand on the side of the people, naturally hoped that Li Xin could block the Donglu, but from the position of Chongzhen, once Li Xin won, most of the people's hearts in the court would be lost. I'm afraid that Li Xin would be regarded as the savior of the hero.

‘Hey, why do people like this rebel?’

Zhou Hou sighed.

...

Nanjing, Meixianglou!

"The newspaper is here, the newspaper is here!"

Bian Yujing ran in with a stack of newspapers.

"Look, what news is there today!"

After a period of running-in, Mingpao is no longer limited to Yangzhou news, but has added localized elements, including Nanjing, Suzhou Prefecture and Huai'an Prefecture, which focuses on local news in terms of distribution.

For example, some of the Ming Pao issued in Nanjing are printed in Nanjing, mainly publishing Nanjing news, and are full of people's livelihood, including some secret investigations by officials.

Among them, the rich are absolutely not to dig out the secrets. After all, Li Xin is a modern person and he is clear about the energy of the rich. The risk of digging is too great. Although he is not afraid, the people below are likely to be retaliated. The officials are different. Many things cannot be done blatantly. Moreover, if they really attack Ming Pao's personnel, it is easy to lead to political events and no one can afford the consequences.

However, relatively speaking, debates about current affairs and trends of the storm are still the most popular. For current affairs debate, Ming Pao does not take a stand, and only selects representative articles from both sides to publish for readers to judge for their own judgment. This is the most superficial way of operation in modern times, but in the Ming Dynasty, it is easy to hype the topic. Almost every day, well-known literati express their opinions on Ming Pao, which has brought great influence to the newspaper.

"Ha, Hong Chengchou really surrendered to the Tartars. Even the altar and ancestral hall in Beijing were demolished. I heard that the emperor was still furious!"

Bian Yujing suddenly smiled!

Kou Baimen looked over strangely: "Asai, what does it mean? When Mr. Li's article was posted, you didn't seem to support it, right?"

Bian Yujing immediately looked stunned and said without anger: "Aren't you not helping Mr. Li?"

Kou Baimen said lightly: "So I won't say it's true!"

"Look down!"

Bian Yujing was speechless, secretly annoyed, and looked down.

"Oh, Mr. Li has led his troops to Linqing to fight against the invasion of the Qing army and vow to protect the people of Shandong!"

When he heard this, Meixianglou was boiling and a group of girls screamed.

They lived in Jiangnan and had never experienced the pain of war, but merchants from the north brought some painful news from time to time. In addition to how cruel the rebels were, they were basically the Qing army's raid and destruction of North China and Shandong.

Especially when the Qing army invaded five times, the court was helpless, the Ming army was inactive and feared war and avoided war, it was easy to give people the impression that they were subtly powerful and invincible. In addition, in the Battle of Songjin, the 130,000 elite troops of the Ming army were almost wiped out, which made people feel unspeakable fear of the Qing army.

Against this big background, Li Xin led his troops north to fight against the Qing Dynasty, forcing people to have associations related to the Northern Expedition, Yue Fei and others.

"The Tartars come and go like the wind, can Mr. Li stop it?"

"Since you dare to go, you should be sure?"

"I really hope Mr. Li can win the battle and slash the Tartars' arrogance!"

Listening to the chirping sound, Chen Zhenhui was upset for no reason and couldn't help but snorted: "I have long said that he is a person who seeks fame. He only has tens of thousands of soldiers to protect the people of Shandong. Look, he just screams and fights for a name. The real Tartars are coming, and they are not scared to death!"

Bian Yujing said dissatisfiedly: "Young Master Li is not the kind of person you mentioned!"

“Ha~~”

Chen Zhenhui smiled disdainfully and said, "He did Ming Pao. He could write whatever he wanted. Damn, we will also run a newspaper ourselves the next day. We can't let him continue to do anything wrong!"

Hou Fangyu's eyes lit up: "Brother Dingsheng (Chen Zhenhui's name is a good word) is right, and money is not a problem. Let's contact some famous scholars and join our newspaper as editor. What is his mere Ming Pao to compete with us?"

The members of the Fushe Society all joined forces. Indeed, why can't the bandits run newspapers?

I didn't realize the importance of newspapers before, but the publication of Ming Pao gradually grasped public opinion, which made both Donglin and Fushe feel uneasy. You should know that Donglin can grow in a short period of time, and the promotion of public opinion is of great significance. For example, the most famous Suzhou tax resistance incident severely hit the eunuch party and made Wanli unable to speak.

Chen Zhenhui bowed to the surroundings: "Everyone, everyone, then Li Xinban made a Ming Pao, our newspaper is called "Region". Everything in the world cannot be separated from the word "Region". Region is the place where reason is made. How about it?"

"good!"

"Just listen to Mr. Chen!"
