Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 798 Leaflets and Newspapers

De Sierra really did not expect that there are so many bizarre moves in war.

Originally, he thought it was weird that Luo Sigong was always making sneak attacks, but he didn't expect that Taichang could come up with even more weird ones.

This means that you can defeat the Duke of Braganza without a fight just by talking about it?

is it possible?
He didn't seem to have seen this move from any Ming Dynasty Art of War book!

How to use this trick, he is still a mess.

He thought for a while, and then asked carefully: "Your Majesty, what is the name of this move, I seem to have never seen it in the art of war book before!"

Can the Art of War book tell you actual battle examples?

How do people know what will happen to you? Even Sun Wu or Zhuge Wuhou can't predict everything!

There is no way, this tactic has to be executed by De Xie La, and he has to explain this tactic thoroughly to others.

He thought about it carefully, and then explained: "It is said that soldiers have impermanence and water has an impermanence, and military books can only teach you what types of tactics you have.

As for the specific tactics to use, it has to be analyzed according to the actual situation.

This trick can be said to be a combination of estrangement and besieged on all sides.

By the way, besieged on all sides, you know that? "

De Xie La suddenly said: "Your Majesty, are you talking about the embattled people in the Chu-Han War?

What do you mean, do we send people directly outside Victoria, the main city of Espiritu Santo, to speak out? "

Uh, shout out?

Do you think this is still a battle in the cold weapon era!
In the period of cold weapons, as long as you stand a hundred paces away, you can yell as you like, even if you yell endlessly, they can't do anything about you.

Are you still going to shout at this moment?

Even if the guns can't reach you, the artillery can hit you, don't you want to die!

Taichang shook his head helplessly and said: "The tactic of shouting is no longer feasible in the case of muskets and artillery.

If you want people to hear you, you have to be at least within two miles of the city wall.

Even if people can't hit you with muskets, they can still use artillery. If you send someone to shout, you are looking for death. "

Hearing this, De Xie La couldn't help but said anxiously: "Then what should we do?

We can't just send people into the city to talk to them on the city wall or in the barracks, right?
This is also unlikely!

Even if we can sneak into the city, it is impossible for them to let us climb the city wall or enter the barracks! "

Uh, yes, what should I do?

Taichang thought about it carefully, and couldn't help recalling the scene of the plane dropping leaflets in his mind.

During World War II, it seemed that many countries liked to play this trick. As soon as the plane flew over, the leaflets were like snowflakes flying all over the sky.

This is actually a kind of public opinion tactic, and it can be regarded as a combination of alienation and besieged on all sides.

Of course, they don't have a plane right now, so even if they have hot air balloons, it's unlikely that they will come here just to spread a leaflet.

Both hot air balloons are busy, and it is too troublesome to build at least dozens of takeoff and landing platforms along the way for the hot air balloons to fly such a long distance.

It's just a flyer, no need to be so troublesome.

He thought about it for a while, and there it was.

If the hot air balloon can't come over, then use someone to scatter it.

Thinking of this, he explained in detail: "You can write the aristocrats and their evil deeds, the suffering lives of ordinary people, and follow you, you can overthrow the rule of the aristocrats, be the master of your own house, etc., all written on the leaflets. Then print tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of copies for you.

At that time, order someone to pretend to be your Portuguese businessman, mix leaflets with the goods, and take them to Victoria City.

In the dead of night, those who sneaked in could wear night clothes and scatter leaflets on the city walls and barracks. "

leaflet?

De Shera couldn't help but wondered: "What are leaflets?"

Uh, how to explain this?
Taichang thought for a while before continuing to explain: "Leaflets are things that people pass on to others. The more you print and distribute, the more people will see it."

This is actually the same as newspapers, TV and even Internet news.

Whoever spreads more, makes more people see it, and even turns black and white!
This is the power of public opinion offensive.

Maybe you can consider running a worldwide newspaper or something, and translate it into various languages ​​and distribute it everywhere.

At that time, as long as it occupies the commanding heights of the world's public opinion, Da Ming will be able to write down any European colonial robbers without even using his hands, so that people in all the colonies of the world will resist them, and they will not be able to grab anything!
He was thinking about running a newspaper, but De Sierra was thinking about writing leaflets.

After a long while, Desierra continued to ask: "Your Majesty, how do you write this leaflet?"

Uh, didn't I tell you everything?
Let's go, good people do it to the end and send the Buddha to the west.

Taichang thought for a while, and then explained in detail: "Haven't you all learned how to make a fuss?
This leaflet is actually just a fuss. You can use the most refined words to expose the evil deeds of the nobles, arouse the indignation of the common people, and then teach the common people how to follow you to overthrow the rule of the nobles.

How about this, you and Hangelia and Desilau will each write an article, and first write it in Ming language, and I will pick out a few for you, and then you will translate it into Portuguese.

At that time, I will order someone to carve a woodblock for you and print it in large quantities.

Others can write whatever they want, but yours has to be comprehensive.

Because you are going to be the king of Portugal in the future, your articles must be at the top.

In this way, you can also take this opportunity to make a name among the common people and win the hearts of the people.

As for what you specifically write.

You can portray yourself as a mercenary who was persecuted by the nobles and had to choose to stay away from his homeland in the end.

Then brag about how good you are.

In short, you have to let everyone believe that you can lead everyone to overthrow the rule of the nobles.

Finally, you describe how everyone is free, how to make money and live a good life after overthrowing the rule of the nobility.

In short, this should be described in a better way, so that all ordinary people yearn for it.

These don’t have to be what you have experienced, and they don’t have to be all true. In short, it is your ultimate goal to fool the Duke of Braganza’s men into wanting to clean him up.

By the way, don’t write anything about Daming, you understand? "

Well, I'd be a pig if I didn't know.

Deixeira hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

After this teaching, things are almost arranged.

After Taichang returned to the Emperor, he sat in the study with a pen and began to meditate.

He plans to start a worldwide newspaper as soon as possible to guide the direction of world public opinion.

This kind of matter should be done sooner rather than later, the sooner it is done, the more famous it will be.

Not to mention the worldwide newspapers at the moment, even if there are no newspapers in each country.

It can be said that the newspaper he founded is the first regular newspaper in the world and the first worldwide newspaper.

What is the name of this newspaper?
He thought for a while, and finally chose the simplest name, "Le Monde".

As for the specific content, at this stage, it is natural to describe how good the Ming Dynasty is, and how bad the colonial bandits are, and then promote the culture, products, food, etc. of the Ming Dynasty.

Soon, he listed a bunch of page contents.

For example, Daming News, this naturally describes how good Daming is.

Another example is World News, which naturally describes how bad the colonial bandits are.

Another example, inventions and creations, this is not an introduction of technology, but an introduction of Ming's products.

Another example, Daming cuisine, this is to promote Daming cuisine.

He didn't think of too many things, and the content of the listed pages covered all aspects.

Of course, running a newspaper is not that simple, and running a worldwide newspaper is extremely difficult.

First, someone has to write the article.

This depends on the high manuscript fee to attract a large number of Ming scholars to write.

Of course, not everyone who writes can be published in such an important newspaper.

Next, there must be editing and review.

They had to pick out articles that fit the leading ideas of Le Monde.

Next, there will be translation, and all articles will be translated into languages ​​of various countries.

There are also typesetting, printing, transportation, promotion, etc. I don't know how many links there are, and I don't know how many people are needed.

Only the Ming Empire has the ability to create such a worldwide newspaper in the world today.

Of course, it was impossible for him to do such a troublesome thing by himself.

If he came to be the editor-in-chief, then the emperor of Ming Dynasty would not have to be the editor-in-chief. There are so many things to be busy every day.

This matter can only be handed over to the Ministry of Rites.

Because the Ministry of Rites happened to be in charge of all the scholars in Daming, and also in charge of all the translators in Daming.

After listing all the pages, he said loudly, "Come here."

Cao Huachun entered in response, bowed his hands and said, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

Taichang explained in detail: "You send someone to take a fast boat to Xinma City, order Wen Zhenmeng, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, to come over, and ask him to bring some old craftsmen who carve woodblocks along the way.

There are also ink, paper, etc., and everything needed for printing is brought here.

Just choose the size of the paper, and the quantity is [-] copies.

They were also ordered to mobilize merchant ships specialized in transshipment of large machinery to Recife. "

Of course, the leaflets this time could not be printed in the printing factory in Xinma City. It would take too much time to go back and forth.

Anyway, just one woodblock, printing [-] copies, a little simple equipment will do.

The next step is to review the articles of De Xie La and Hang Lia et al.

Not to mention, the articles written by these people are really good, at least at the level of a scholar.

In particular, Hangoria and Desilau vividly describe how miserable the landless peasants are, and the other vividly describe how many nobles will be exploited by businessmen.

Taichang carefully selected a few articles and gave them a catchphrase. The content of this leaflet was basically the same.

The slogan he put forward was to overthrow the rule of the aristocracy and let us be the masters of our own country!

This slogan is not generally important.

A simple and clear slogan can not only make people shout in unison, but it can also spread the ideas of the leaflet quickly.

In short, as soon as this leaflet is spread, the Duke of Braganza is basically almost finished.

It is very likely that they don't need to do anything, and the people under the Duke of Braganza will help them clean up this guy.

This war is really not won by rushing up and fighting with others regardless of regardless. If many strategies and tactics are used well, the effect will definitely be better than rushing up and fighting with others.
