At the end of the Ming Dynasty, I freely traveled through Yangshen

Chapter 61 Propaganda Means
In the 14th and 15th years of Chongzhen's reign in Kaifeng, the army had already suffered heavy losses on the battlefields of the Central Plains.

In the same year, Hong Chengchou's 10,000+ elite Ming troops were also defeated by the Qing army on the Songjin battlefield. In the 16th year of Chongzhen, Sun Chuanting's Qin army was completely destroyed and defeated by Li Zicheng in the Battle of Jiaxian. From this point onwards, From now on, the original situation of the Ming Dynasty will be completely ruined.

The only army in the north that can fight is the Guan Ning Army under Wu Sangui.

According to the general trend, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the one who conquers the Central Plains will conquer the world, Li Zicheng will rule the world, and the general trend of moving to Beijing has already been formed. If the Qing army had not entered the customs, then Dashun Chuangwang would have been the founder of a new dynasty.

If there wasn't a Tatar outside the pass and the imperial court spent money to support Guan Ning's army, relying on Li Zicheng's prestige in the Central Plains, Zhu Cixiang might not be able to trap Wu Xiang as a talented person now. These people in front of him still think that It’s hard to tell if you don’t recognize him as the crown prince.

However, history has no ifs. According to the general trend, it was inevitable for Li Zicheng to move to Beijing, and it was inevitable for the Tartars to enter the customs. These two inevitabilities caused the two parties to start a fierce battle on a stone. The final result was obvious. Li Zicheng was defeated. After abandoning Beijing, the Tartars settled in Beijing and conquered the Central Plains.

Therefore, this meeting, which was originally a meeting with many grassroots officers of the Tianming New Army, will turn into a propaganda event used by Zhu Cihong to win over people's hearts and recruit people.

Hearing that everyone agreed that the Tartars were better than the bandits, Zhu Cihong pressed his hands to signal. When these people calmed down, Zhu Cihong knew that it was his time to perform.

"Everyone knows that the bandits are powerful and the bandits are gangsters. So if the bandits really break through Juyongguan, enter the huge city of Beijing, and rob thousands of officials and nobles in Beijing of the wealth accumulated over more than 200 years, you say, Will he be tempted if he is ugly outside the pass?"

"I will settle the account for you. No matter how poor this capital city is, these nobles must have 3000 to [-] million taels of silver in their hands."

"Two to thirty million taels of silver?!"

Everyone exclaimed when they heard this, and their breathing was stagnant. Such a large amount of money was really eye-catching.

Two to 3000 million, two to 3000 million, so much money, not to mention it is a bribe, even the officers and soldiers would be tempted after hearing it.

After thinking about it carefully, they felt that Zhu Cixiang's two to thirty million taels of silver was not too much.

"Your Majesty, maybe it's a little less."

Sun Shan, who had been named by Zhu Cihong earlier, answered immediately, "There are more than 100 million people in the entire Beijing city, thousands of wealthy families, and a family of several 10 taels. It costs 5000 to [-] million taels, right? Those shops, around the city The real estate, manors, and fields are all money, and they are all quite valuable."

In fact, Sun Shan is relatively small. These distinguished officials in Beijing are all extremely wealthy owners. They have accumulated wealth from more than 200 years of business in Beijing, including land, manors, grain, cloth, wood, private salt, antiques, and gold. , calligraphy and painting, cultural toys, horses, ironware, chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, fish and donkeys and other resources are all very valuable things. The combined assets of thousands of distinguished officials must be worth hundreds of millions of taels.

However, many of them are fixed assets and it takes time to realize them.

"There is so much money in Beijing alone!" Sun Yong, who was next to Sun Shan, also said cleverly at this time, "If I were a person in the prison, I would definitely not only spy on the money, I would also want to enter the customs Fight for the world with the bandits who cannot be beaten!"

As soon as Sun Yong finished speaking, the whole school exploded, and everyone reacted immediately.

Isn't that right? One city in Beijing can get so much money and so many valuable businesses. If the bandits take over, they will be extremely rich. How can the Tartars be so jealous? There is no way they won't be tempted, right?
When the time comes, the Tartars will see that even the rogue bandits are able to move into the Central Plains. How can the Tartars just watch? They will definitely have to fight for their lives to enter.

And as soon as they entered the pass, they were really fighting against the bandits. How could the Tartars be vain? After the Tartars drove away the bandits, wouldn’t all the colorful world of the Central Plains belong to the Tatars? The Tatars would have won Beijing, and they would have such a With such a big windfall, you will definitely not let it go, and it will be inevitable to take further steps.

Yes, these two boys know how to set the pace for me. They are also talents and good materials that can be cultivated well.

Zhu Cixiang glanced at Sun Shan and Sun Yong with praise, and asked everyone angrily, "Then when the time comes, Li Chuang, who has taken control of Beijing, will have an encounter with the Tartars. He is the elite pioneer who sent the old soldiers." Should we go out to meet the enemy, or should we let the officers and soldiers who surrendered to the intruders go out to meet the enemy first?"

"Of course, let those officers and soldiers who surrendered to the intruders go out to meet the enemy!"

"The intruders are not stupid, how can they waste their own veterans and Tartars? They will definitely let the officers and soldiers die!"

"In this case, if you vote for the intruders, you won't lose. When the Tatars come, don't you have to fight the Tatars?"

"Harm, isn't it the same on the Tatar side? How do you think the dead soldiers on the Tatar side came from? Aren't they all Han soldiers and strong men from our Ming Dynasty? These days, the Tatars are surrendered as dead soldiers, and go to the Tatars Over there, there is no future for fighting against the officers and soldiers, and against the bandits."

"Then it's really better to be under the imperial court. For fourteen months of the year, all we have to do is defend the city against the Tartars. Even if we fight against the rogues, the government and army have a better chance of winning. No matter how you look at it, they are worse than the other two sides. Is there a future?"

"Yes, yes, yes, if you join the bandits, the ring of one, two or four cents a month will be gone, and the ring of fourteen months a year will be gone, and you still have to fight the Tatars. If you join the Tatars, you will definitely Without this kind of money, if you don't say you are a dead soldier, you can only become a coated slave at best."

When Zhu Cixiang asked such a question, everyone's enthusiasm was brought out. The people who spoke were all servants of the Wu family. These people were ordinary people with no education. Their loyalty to the emperor and patriotism were all empty. They only considered themselves. In fact, it is a matter of livelihood, so for these uneducated ordinary farmers, Zhu Cihong has to explain some basic situations to them and let them choose Zhu Cihong according to their own interests, so that these people can follow him wholeheartedly.

Zhu Cixiang will not only use these people to help Nanxing, but will also ask him to take Yangshen World to the Izumo Kingdom. If these people do not stand in the right position and do not put their own interests on Zhu Cixiang, Zhu Cixiang will not be able to use them. These people can only use sharp enough knives because they are given enough benefits.

In a word, he Zhu Cihong can prostitute Wu Xiang for free, but he Zhu Cihong can't prostitute these most low-level Wu family members for free!
Because these people are already at the bottom, if you prostitute them for nothing, you will push them to the opposite of yourself.

　Night shift today, 24 hours a day, Yang Shen will be announced tomorrow.
