Hello Chang’an
Chapter 272: Full of gimmicks (please vote for me)
This Taoist appeal has a very resounding name. It is called "An Message on behalf of the people of the world to challenge the thief of Xu". The person who wrote this appeal was none other than Chang Suining.
As soon as this proclamation came out, it spread all over the Yangtze River in just five or six days. People rushed to pass it on and read it, and the discussion was very loud.
At first, Xu Zhengye didn't take it seriously. After he asked Luo Guanlin to write the widely circulated "Advocate for the Empress of the Ming Dynasty", the court and other places responded by writing messages against him, but they did not arouse Too big a splash.
There was a precedent for this. Xu Zhengye, who was so busy with his affairs, didn't even bother to pay attention to see it in person.
It was not until a few days later that he clearly noticed that the impact of this statement was different from the previous one. Regardless of the popular trend, even the wealthy noble family bureaucrats who supported him repeatedly sent people to come or wrote letters to question him.
Only then did Xu Zhengye have to face up to the matter, and asked someone to take the notice and come to see it in person.
The message in his hand was obviously printed, but it also retained the original handwriting of the person who wrote it.
His handwriting is sparse and broad, yet upright and steep, which shows one-third of his character and seven-parts of his military spirit. Once read, with hundreds of words spread eloquently, the pen has the potential to sweep away thousands of armies.
This handwriting is very good and rare.
Xu Zhengye also came from a noble family, and his talent in calligraphy and painting was not an issue. Naturally, he could tell the quality of this calligraphy at a glance.
This word alone is eye-catching enough.
What's more, there is the extremely arrogant word "on behalf of the people of the world"!
"...On behalf of the people of the world?" A staff member under Xu Zhengye said angrily: "Young lady, you have such an arrogant tone!"
Why should she represent the world!
Who allowed her to take the place of the world?
Luo Guanlin was silent and didn't look optimistic.
The word "propaganda" captured people's hearts and influenced public opinion. As for whether the wording was true or false, whether it was "reasonable" or not...it could not change the fact that the purpose she wanted had been achieved.
And the reason why this appeal spread so quickly and caused a sensation is no accident.
He looked at the piece of paper in Xu Zhengye's hand and frowned for a moment.
This statement is very skillful. Every word and every sentence is like a weapon that hurts the enemy. They are all aimed at the key points. The person who wrote this statement is very smart and put a lot of thought into it... and he is also a literati who is proficient in this art. He can I realized that when the other party wrote this message, he must have predicted that it would cause a sensation once it was circulated.
If it hadn't been written by a capable ghostwriter, then this girl from the Chang family who suddenly appeared...should not be underestimated.
The more Xu Zhengye looked down, the uglier his face became.
As the "initiator", Chang Sui Ning can easily imagine Xu Zhengye's face at this time.
She had wanted to imitate Luo Guanlin a long time ago and write an equally outstanding slogan.
To this end, she did a lot of homework and preparations, including but not limited to careful analysis of the failures of previous crusade against Xu Zhengye.
After careful research, she came to the conclusion that most of these slogans were too conventional and the same, and they were the kind that could be used directly by replacing the three characters of the object of attack, Xu Zhengye, with another person's name at will.
Or it was too boring and redundant and failed to arouse her emotions, but it made her sleepy.
With her eagerness to learn and study, she yawned endlessly, let alone other unrelated people?
After summarizing, Chang Suining came to the conclusion that in this troubled world where slogans are everywhere, if you want to write a good and popular slogan, the first thing is to use the word gimmick.
That's why she dared to "represent the world".
She represents the people of the world, who is not a person of the world? Just hearing the name, no matter whether they are curious or critical, they all want to come and have a look. In this way, the audience will be captured first.
Having a good gimmick and attracting people is only the first step.
Next, you need to say something meaningful and have solid and eye-catching content.
Therefore, Chang Suining found hundreds of Jiangnan people with different statuses and situations, including officials, wealthy gentry, merchants and hawkers, hungry refugees and literati, and used Xu Zhengye in their mouths as a reference.
Aren't they the "people of the world" who have personally witnessed Xu Zhengye's "recovery action"?
This article "On behalf of the people of the world to criticize the traitor Xu" is still being circulated rapidly everywhere, and even spread to the south of the Yangtze River.
It said, "Wherever Xu Zhengye went, the people were in dire straits. Due to forced conquest and plunder, there was what Luo Guanlin said: "the accumulation of warehouses is exhausted." Under the ambition and great cause, the accumulated bones are all innocent people. 】
[How can such cruel and unkind thieves, who kill innocent people indiscriminately, take human life lightly, steal from the people, and steal from the country, deserve to be mentioned with the words "restoring the right path"? 】
He also detailed Xu Zhengye’s crimes. Although they were slightly exaggerated, they were all based on facts.
In a few hundred words, a shameless villain with insidious methods, duplicity and ambition can be seen vividly on the page.
The final words are even more provocative, claiming that Xu Zhengye told a huge lie, and that his desire for recovery is false, but that he deceived the world is true.
And listed many evidences, including "Xu Zhengye gathered troops to defend Jiangning, Yangzhou, all because there were rumors that the land of Jinling in Jiangdu had a kingly spirit, and he wanted to establish himself as king in Jiangdu. His ambition was obvious, and everyone punished him."
Then provoke them... No, appeal, appeal to those who are traveling with Xu Zhengye to wake up in time. It is not too late to turn back. If you insist on walking with the thieves and are willing to be used by the thieves, your own destruction is coming.
At that time, Chang Suining had written this, but still felt that it was missing something more gimmick to end with.
After thinking hard, a scholar surnamed Lu reminded him: "...we should take the opportunity to strengthen Mrs. Chang's name to win people's hearts."
Chang Suining thought and blinked: "How to grow stronger?"
Naturally, he is boasting.
But I always feel a little embarrassed when I praise myself, so I naturally accept the opinions of others.
The scholar surnamed Lu clasped his hands and said, "Since I represent the people of the world, I should obey the words of the people of the world - who doesn't know that Mrs. Chang is the reincarnation of the star?"
"..." The other literati who were found together all looked at him, taking the opportunity to flatter him, right?
This simply undermines the pride of scholars!
But looking at the majestic young girl with an immeasurable future, I also thought of the other party's courtesy and respect... and more importantly, the other party praised them as pillars of talent!
Why.
How can...how can one of his companions bear such behavior that undermines the pride of a scholar?
As a result, several more literati stepped forward to supplement it.
"You should also borrow the words of destiny!"
"What is given by destiny is the clear and righteous path in the world!"
“…”
Chang Sui Ning responded with a straight face: "Although I feel ashamed to have suffered this, but in this life-and-death situation, I will listen to the wise opinions of you gentlemen."
All the literati immediately straightened their backs—she called them sir!
Therefore, Chang Sui Ning took up his pen and wrote down a very arrogant and outrageous sentence as the end of this statement.
[Although I am not talented, I am fortunate to have received the destiny from heaven. I have been instructed by the immortal to save the world. I will behead the Xu thief within seventy-three days to inform the world.]
This sentence is extremely outrageous, but it has to be said that it has a fatal attraction.
The gimmick in this sentence is really very dense, and it involves the mystical theory of immortals. It is difficult for anyone from an eighty-year-old man to a three-year-old child not to be attracted by it. The audience is very wide, and it is easy to spread in various forms on the streets and alleys. Come.
In fact, when the dogs passing by heard this, they would tilt their heads and think about it.
For example, where does the guidance from the savior immortal come from? Could it be that Jiang Xing is really the reincarnation? Why was Xu Zhengye killed within seventy-three days? What is the meaning of seventy-three days?
"Grandpa...I heard that Xu Zhengye only has seventy-three days to live. Is it true?"
Among a group of homeless people, there was a girl with a sallow complexion and big clean eyes, asking the old man next to her.
The child does not yet have a clear understanding of good and evil, but she knows that on the day when the rebels broke into Jiangning City, her beautiful mother-in-law was taken away by the rebels. Her father was killed in order to save her mother-in-law. After being hacked to death, her grandfather handed over all his belongings, knelt down and kowtowed to those people until his head was broken, and then he saved her.
From then on, her home was gone.
On the way to escape, she gradually learned that the rebels were working for a general named Xu Zhengye, but that general was not the general who saved people as the storyteller said, but the general who killed people.
She wanted the murderous general to die quickly.
When the old man heard this, he covered the girl's mouth in fear: "...Don't talk nonsense!"
"You're wrong!" A boy in his teens came up next to him, clenched his fist and shouted loudly: "It's the sixty-fifth, eight days have passed!"
There were no adults around him, no one could control him, and other refugees also started whispering when they heard this.
General Ning Yuan threatened to kill the Xu thief on the 73rd day, and they had already heard about it.
If ordinary people say this, they are destined to be ignored and ignored. However, as a daughter, General Ningyuan has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and gained a reputation far and wide, which itself is covered with many magical colors.
Strange things that ordinary people can't do, but strange people may not be able to do!
Since the empress ascended the throne, Taoist temples and Buddhist temples have been built in various places in Dasheng, and people at that time worshiped them. When it comes to mysterious theories about ghosts and gods, they generally "prefer to believe that they exist."
Some people began to promote this matter with confidence, some were doubtful, and some scorned it, but this did not hinder them. They all began to silently count the arrival of that day in their hearts.
Whether it is true or not, we will finally know after sixty-five days.
At this time, an old monk with patches on his robe passed by the group of refugees and sighed and recited "Amitabha".
"Master, tell me...that Mrs. Chang, did she really get the guidance from the Savior Immortal?" The old monk was followed by a young monk. The young monk asked at this time: "Or is she just talking big words?"
"Perhaps he is saving people." The old monk walked slowly and said slowly: "The evil thief received this 'warning', like a knife hanging high, his momentum will be difficult to gather for a while, and his way forward will be blocked. And the world is in trouble. With this dawn, we will have hope and vitality, and we can keep our thoughts alive and look forward to the future.”
The little monk seemed to understand, but he was still more curious: "Then is there a savior immortal?"
"Yes." The old monk said, "If she can make her big words come true, she will be the savior of the world."
"Then...what if she can't do it?"
The old monk shook his head and sighed: "That would be a bad thing..."
If she fails to do so, she will no longer be the star of salvation, but will become a liar known to the world. From then on, her reputation will be ruined. After the hopes of those who regard her as the dawn are shattered, she will become a sharp arrow known as the anger of the public. It will bite him back and make him irrecoverable.
Hearing this, the young monk suddenly became worried about the female donor.
However, he was still a little curious: "Master, why does it have to be the seventy-third day?"
The old monk thought with his eyes, thinking again and again, but still shook his head, unable to understand the mystery.
Not only were they unable to understand it, but Xiao Min, who had to read this article three times every day, was also unable to figure it out and was very worried.
There was a purpose in every part of this message, and he understood everything else, but this deadline was the only one that he couldn't figure out.
On this day, taking the opportunity to discuss military affairs, Xiao Min finally couldn't help but ask Chang Suining about the matter.
Chang Suining whispered but said frankly: "It was written casually."
Xiao Min was astonished: "...Then how come there are still parts and pieces?"
"This will make it more credible and eye-catching." Chang Sui Ning said: "Didn't Coach Xiao already think about it?"
Xiao Min was speechless for a moment.
"Xiao Suining, is this a lie?" A Dian asked Chang Suining in a low voice.
Chang Suining: "When I make it true, it won't be considered a lie."
Xiao Min: “…”
What a novel statement.
But, "How sure is Mrs. Chang that she can kill Xu Zhengye?"
More than sixty days, a little over two months... But now they can't even touch Xu Zhengye's shadow.
"It's hard to say." Chang Suining threw a piece of information he had read into the brazier: "But don't worry, he's already killing."
What she is killing now is Xu Zhengye’s name.
Killing his name first will make it easier to take his life.
Seeing the tongue of fire devouring the piece of information, Chang Suining flashed in front of his eyes the endless team of refugees, filled with grief, anger and despair, and said softly: "I want all the roads in the south of the Yangtze River, and even the entire Dasheng, to count down the days until his death." ”
Xiao Min looked at Chang Kuo subconsciously again. He was very worried that Madam Chang would take such a risk and ruin the reputation she had fought so hard for.
Chang Kuo's expression was even more determined: "With so many people waiting for him to die, maybe the Lord of Hell has been alarmed. This man is now surrounded by evil spirits. He is already half dead without us taking action!"
Xiao Min: "...!"
He trusted General Chang and Mrs. Chang very much, but sometimes, listening to these cruel and unreasonable words, he felt really helpless.
Fortunately, Chang Kuo still cares about him: "Can Coach Xiao still be able to withstand this?"
Xiao Min put on a serious look and whispered: "Beijing and China are frequently urging us to send troops..."
Chang Kuo understood his dilemma and provided him with an idea of excusing himself: "The coach just sent a message back to Beijing and said that everything was arranged by me, Lao Chang, and you can feel free to complain."
Xiao Min sighed: "But if this happens, the court and the saints will have to hold you accountable..."
"It doesn't matter." Chang Sui Ning said: "When they get Xu Zhengye's head, they will naturally shut up."
Chang Kuo laughed and said: "That's exactly the reason!"
Who else understands this kind of happiness with the master's protection better than him?
…
At the same moment, Cui Jing, who was far away in the north, also saw this message.
Before this article had time to spread, Yuan Xiang sent people to the north at high speed.
"So... is this a way to provoke generals?" Cui Jing whispered, as if talking to himself, and there was a hint of worry hidden between his usually indifferent eyebrows at this moment.
Good night!
