Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 153 I can’t find the enemy even with a telescope and a lantern.
Jingqi is the most exciting to watch, and people in the Four-Nine Cities love to watch Secret Unofficial History!

One after another, it turns out that our ancestors still have so many secrets, which is really exciting.

After reading it, I have to find a place, a brothel.

The madam has been very happy recently.

The arrival of the Eight Banners Taijun was truly a blessing in disguise.

It’s packed every day, and there’s still no shortage of money.Maybe, it can really become a "century-old brand".

The banner men are not only generous but also nice to talk to.

Everyone patted their chests and promised:
"This Mianyue Tower can always be opened. No matter the government or colleagues, no one dares to come to this city to look for trouble."

However, the people who were forcibly moved outside the city were not so happy.

A book "Prince Rui's Record of Suppressing Bandits in the South of the Yangtze River" began to circulate among them, signed by Xiaoxiaosheng.

The atrocities that occurred in Jiangnan at that time were described from the perspective of an ordinary Qing soldier, arousing the anger of readers.

Li Yu firmly believed that "a quill pen is worth 3000 flintlock guns."

Especially the people of the Qing Dynasty have a very magical quality.

No matter how hard you press him, no matter how he obeys you, he will kneel down and smile, never resisting.

Pressed to the end, walls collapsed and houses collapsed, and finally bottomed out.

Explosive, violent, bloodthirsty, devastating.

Then, it returns to the state of muddling through, repeating it again and again, never getting tired of it.

Bang, thousands of years have passed like this.

……

The brochure is very effective.

Li Yu summoned Jia Xiaozhen very satisfied:

"You did a good job editing the book. I want to reward you. Tell me, what do you want?"

"Thank you, my lord."

Jia Xiaozhen’s smile was as bright as spring, but he made an unexpected request:

"Can I often go to the entertainment district to collect inspiration? There is a source of inspiration there."

The entertainment area is the back garden of Li Jiajun, where more than 60 female relatives of prisoners have gathered.

"That's right. Time is tight, the tasks are heavy, and the pressure is high. You have to pay more attention."

"Don't worry, my lord."

Li Yu looked at this guy with extremely weak legal and moral awareness.

Added another fire:

"This is a lawless place, and you are a lawless madman. No matter the laws of the Qing Dynasty or the government and gentry, they can't control your writing of books. You can let yourself go, be bolder and braver."

"I want to write a prison story about the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang of this dynasty and Hong Chengchou."

"Write well and maybe the pen name Xiaoxiaosheng will go down in history in the future."

……

Jia Xiao felt shy for a moment, scratched his head and said:
"My scalp has been itchy lately, and the shampoo is cold in winter. Can you find a barber? I want to shave my head."

Li Yu looked at him carefully for a while, and smiled happily:
"You are very promising."

As a result, Xishan Island gained a "monk" with a handsome face.

Carrying a bookcase on my back, I shuttle around Xishan Island every day.

As a great scholar, he has studied almost all the female relatives of prisoners in the entertainment area.

The inspiration for creation is like the Yellow River bursting its banks, one book after another.

After printing, it quietly reached the hands of various unscrupulous dealers through black market channels, and frantically smeared the Qing Dynasty.

From Huang Taiji, Xiaozhuang, to Qianlong, Fukang'an, and all the bannermen.

Jia Xiaozhen reads a book every day and is as productive as a sow.

The black market bookseller smiled from ear to ear, and many people asked privately who "Xiao Xiaosheng" was.

They are willing to support them with the most generous salary and the best treatment,

As long as he writes books every day and maintains this high productivity rate.

……

Even some regular bookstores have begun to secretly sell Xiaoxiaosheng series of books.

Don't dare to put it on the counter openly.
A knowledgeable customer will take the initiative to approach the shopkeeper and raise his eyebrows:
"Um, is there any?"

The shopkeeper nodded, then led the people into the small dark room, holding an oil lamp and letting people choose a few books.

When I go out, I also get a copy of "The Analects of Confucius".Put it at the top to maintain the last elegance of the scholar.

Later, unscrupulous booksellers simply made double covers.

The cover is "Mencius".
The opening page is "Descendants of Dorgon: The Love History of an Orphan Girl of the Eight Banners".

There are only a very small number of exquisite sets of pictures, the cost is too high, and the selling price is too expensive.

Xishandao mainly recommends the cheap version of the book, which contains only one or two black and white simple drawings.

Anyway, people here don’t have much entertainment life, they read books very seriously, word for word.

Even a picture can conjure up thousands of words of exciting plot.

……

The literacy rate in Suzhou Prefecture is much higher than that of people in other regions.

After these people read it, they can't help but secretly tell it to illiterate people.

Then the illiterate people, as if they had found a treasure, would tell more people about it with added embarrassment.

after that,
Liu Qian came to report in embarrassment:
"Our books are not selling well."

"Piracy is rampant, the printing is poor, but the price is cheap. As soon as our book was released, within two days, the market was full of pirated copies."

Li Yu: "..."

Jia Xiaozhen: "..."

After pondering for a while, Li Yu figured out the key and spoke openly:

"Keep compiling the book. But the printing quantity should be small. Ten copies will be enough."

"To allow pirated booksellers to profit, what we want is not profits, what we want is people's hearts."

As a result, a high-profit industry quickly became a "loss-making" business.

Everyone was very sorry, except Li Yu who wanted to be open-minded.

As a time traveler, I don’t see this kind of thing very often.

We, the Qing Dynasty, have our own national conditions.

……

Once unsaleable, they can no longer be sold, and many books can only be digested internally.Reward the soldiers with outstanding training within the Li Jiajun,

This kind of reward is very popular.

Whoever owns a hardcover illustrated version of "The Prison of the Ministry of Punishment: Xiaozhuang Wheel Battle with Hong Chengchou" is the most handsome boy in the team.

Many people will be shy:

"Brother, let me help you make food."

"Brother, let me help you dry the mattress."

"Brother, let me help you clean the gunpowder residue in the gun chamber."

"Brother, I will take bullets for you from now on."

So, the most sincere person got the right to borrow the book for half a day.

By the way, the pen name Xiaoxiaosheng became a star in Li Jiajun's heart.

Bald Jia Xiaozhen, people salute him wherever he goes.

By the way, let’s discuss, can you give yourself a role that will make you more exciting?
So much so that Li Yu began to be jealous of him.

This kind of free and unrestrained life was originally what I wanted.

……

The government finally started to take it seriously.

Huang Wenyun and Zhu Gui had heard about it until they accidentally saw the content and immediately went to report Fukangan in fright.

"Assholes, you are derelict in your duty. The rebels are so bold and openly slander the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, as well as the princes and ministers. Investigate, investigate hard."

In front of Fukang'an's case, 20 small books were piled up.

Just reading the title of the book can make his blood pressure soar by 200.
Looking at the content again, it dropped by 200.
Among them is the book "The Forbidden City: The Story That the Nu Family and Two Men Have to Tell".

The male protagonist turned out to be Qianlong, and he and he actually fell in love with the same folk woman.

Fulkan (himself) couldn't steal the emperor, so he imitated the overlord.

Later, he was stabbed in the back by this woman, so he was sent to the front line to fight by the emperor, hoping that he would "die in battle" reasonably.

This book was compiled by Li Yu. He thought it was bloody, but Fu Kangan thought it was horrifying.

Are you trying to steal a woman from the emperor?

Just thinking about it makes me feel like "bullying the emperor", which is too rebellious.

"Check them all for me, and kill them if they are found. Jiangnan's custom is simply crazy and rebellious."

"I want to kill these arrogant and rebellious people, and I need to ask for the emperor's order."...

Zhu Gui was silent, and so was Huang Wenyun.
For this kind of right and correct topic, I can only support it.Anyone who says no will be beaten to death.

The police officers posted notices everywhere, offering rewards for the capture of Xiaoxiaosheng.Anyone who provides clues will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver.

This reward is too high.

Unfortunately, no one knows who Xiaoxiaosheng is.

According to textual research, this person should be named Wang.Moreover, he is probably a descendant of Wang Shizhen.

His writing style and pen name are all very similar to those of someone from the same place.

As a result, people surnamed Wang, whose families had a little money but whose ancestors seemed to be richer, became unlucky one after another.

From Yangzhou to Suzhou, half of the people living in the prison have the surname Wang.

If Fukang'an had heard of the "real-name system", he would definitely slap the table and shout:

"This is a clever plan for an old man to seek a country and to frighten a young man. We should promote it throughout the Qing Dynasty and put an end to such dark literati."

The "reverse book" case in Jiangnan and the "collapse of rumors" case in Jingzhou caused an uproar in the Forbidden City.

Everyone in the military aircraft department found it incredible.

A few nonsense words by a White Lotus prisoner actually caused chaos in the whole city. More than 2000 people were killed and injured, not to mention the loss of property.

Most of them were trampled and fell into the water to death, and a few were killed by officers and soldiers.

The governor of Jingzhou was nervous for five days before he concluded that he had been deceived.

Tan Ma went out of the city for 100 miles, but there was no sign of Bai Lian at all.

……

The chief military minister Zhang Jia's Agui can understand this "absurdity", which is essentially the same thing as Ying Xiao.

It seems that the relationship between the banner and the Han in Jingzhou is very tense.

Qianlong looked gloomy:
"All my dear friends, let's discuss this."

"I suggest that the counter-book case be seriously investigated and dealt with. Anyone involved in the case should be punished by the three tribes." Yu Minzhong was the first to express his position.

"My slave seconded the proposal." Agui followed immediately.

"The ministers and others also seconded."

This kind of matter involves the dignity of the royal family. If there is no disagreement, kill it.

However, the matter in Jingzhou is more subtle.

"My suggestion should not be made public, otherwise it will damage the face of the court." He Shen understood Qianlong's thoughts very well.

Sure enough, Qianlong immediately recognized this idea.

"I think the matter in Jingzhou should be dealt with in a calm manner. Otherwise, if word spreads, someone will definitely follow suit and the world will not be peaceful."

If Liu Qian were present, he would definitely be surprised. How could you guess what I was thinking?
Since her trip to Jingzhou, Liu Qian has been tossing and turning every day.

The sudden collapse of the situation left a deep impression on him.

If it could be copied, wouldn't it be a trump card for intelligence organizations?

At the critical moment, such an appearance in the enemy's city would turn everything upside down.

The city's defense power has dropped by at least 4%.

If it is supplemented by the bluff of a small group of soldiers and horses, maybe it can accomplish a great feat.

Once this crazy idea was born, he couldn't get it out of his head.

Because he was too wild and unrestrained, he never told anyone, including Li Yu.

I just kept collecting the sentiments of the people in Jingzhou and wanted to know if there was any deep logic in it.

……

Inside the Forbidden City,

The quarrel among the ministers gradually became fierce, centering on whether to punish the governor of Jingzhou.

They sent troops for no reason and killed people in the streets.He also connived with his subordinates and bombarded the dock.

"The military situation is dangerous and we cannot take care of many things. I think General Jingzhou's approach is right." Agui said what was in his heart.

"I don't agree. The sea and the river are clear, and there are occasional thieves. To start such a big fight in the local area is really to discredit the imperial court." This time, He Shen had a rare tit-for-tat confrontation.

Agui looked at him deeply and did not continue to speak.

Ever since his teacher returned to the court, it seemed that He Shen had begun to secretly act against him.

Today, I actually jumped out in front of so many people.

Yu Minzhong coughed and said:

"I feel that Jingzhou Governor has gone too far. During the prosperous period of Qianlong, even with a telescope or a lantern, he could not find the enemy. He would fire cannons at the slightest confusion. When word spread, others really thought that the White Lotus Sect was causing chaos. "

"A crowd's words make a fortune, but one's words are to be feared. The old minister concluded that the White Lotus Church used the topic to confuse the ignorant people."

Qianlong straightened up seriously.

His eyes gradually became colder, and Yu Minzhong's words spoke to his heart.

There was nothing wrong at first, and they ran around for a while. When the people found out that they had been cheated, they went back on their own.

A turmoil is ultimately just a joke among the public.

You're shooting and killing people like this, and it's like you're doing it for real.

If word spreads, the ignorant people will think that they are really at war with the White Lotus Sect.

The gold-plated shell of the Qianlong Emperor's heyday has peeled off the paint.

"deliver an imperial order."

"Bu Letai, the commander of the capital of Jingzhou, is not strict in running the army, listens to rumors, and has a weak will. He is demoted to the assistant leader and goes to take charge of the Taihu Navy."

……

Yu Minzhong was right about one thing.
The White Lotus Sect really took advantage of this opportunity to promote it.He took the initiative to take credit for the attack on Jingzhou City on his own head.

Strictly speaking, there's nothing wrong with it.After all, Father Pan is indeed a believer.

The 100 matchlock guns secretly transferred from Suzhou Prefecture also arrived.

Woniu Village,
Hong Dachang is reviewing the holy soldiers selected at different levels. These people are all real fanatics.

"Get familiar with the matchlock gun. In a few days, I will come to see you again."

Hundreds of fanatical believers, dressed in white.

The training tutorial was compiled by Master Hong himself.There are a lot of unrealistic requirements, but one is the most terrifying.

Only when you walk in front of the enemy can you fire the first shot.

Just one shot determines the outcome.

For this reason, half of the people abandoned the slugs and used shotgun shells.

According to "Hong's Military Training Method": Before a battle, the gunpowder should be loaded in sufficient quantity, or even in excess.Only in this way can we kill the enemy to the maximum extent.

A true holy soldier is not afraid of death, let alone having his chest exploded.

We don't pay much attention to quick reloading and firing in formation.

Because the leader, after many deductions on white paper, came to the conclusion that a salvo determines the outcome, Stud!
……

Of course, after this group of musketeers, there will also be spearmen.The two military formations will maintain a distance of 30 meters.

Leader Hong emphasized,
The combat mission of the spearmen is very simple, that is, after the musketeers fire a volley, or after they die in battle, they shout "Maitreya Buddha is coming to the world", then they all flatten their spearheads and charge forward with a howl.

Any hesitation is disrespectful to Maitreya Buddha.

Before Ming Jin retreats, the spearmen should keep charging and assassinating, and are not allowed to retreat or stop.

A hall leader asked worriedly:

"It's so simple and crude. The war is changing rapidly. Will it delay the fighter's opportunity?"

Master Hong wrote lightly:

"One trick, eat all over the sky."

"You still expect these idiot Niyue Tuizi to be able to understand flags, drums, and formation changes?"

"My leader is not Liu Bang, and you are not Han Xin."

The hall master was speechless, with a layer of cold sweat on his back.

After he returned, he thought about it carefully and found that this was really the case.

The bottom believers are rabble-rousers and fools.Middle-level leaders lack military literacy and cultural literacy.

Therefore, the tactics should be as simple as possible so that there will be no chaos on the battlefield.

The leader is wise!

After inspecting the quality of this batch of matchlock guns, Master Hong was very satisfied and said:
"Although Li Yu is greedy for money, he is still particular about what he does. These guns are of high quality and are not used as fire sticks by Green Camp soldiers."

"The barrel of the gun is stamped with the seal of the Eight Banners of Guangzhou Garrison to deceive others."

"This leader concludes that he made these guns himself."

"Send a team of capable people to Suzhou and put it under Pan Saiyun's control. By the way, tell her that the top priority right now is public relations Li Yu. The more muskets we can sell to us, the better. If we can conquer Li Yu~"

Speaking of this, Hong Dachang paused and said:

"The leader of this church has named her the Great Protector of the Holy Mother, inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people."

"I hope she can take care of herself and not let down the ardent hope of this leader."
