Chapter 653 Post-war pattern
In Kyoto, the sky was gloomy, the light rain was pouring down, and the cold air of early spring was coming from all directions, making Yamashitaro shiver uncontrollably.

In front of all the soldiers of the shogunate, a majestic mansion had already appeared, with a plaque made of sandalwood hanging on it, and the word Fujiwara was written in Chinese characters squarely. The shogun Hideji Sasaki, who led the team, took a careful look, and then squeezed out a sigh from his throat.

"Fujiwara, what a powerful Fujiwara!"

In Japan, Gongjia is actually a title relative to the samurai family. It mainly refers to the aristocratic ministers who serve the emperor. It usually refers to the public servants who have more than three official ranks before they can be crowned as ministers.Among the public families, the most powerful is the famous Fujiwara clan.

The Fujiwara family has a very long history in Japan. It existed as early as the Asuka era, and it has long had a very strong political influence in Japan. The family began to be separated continuously, and until now there are eight clan origins of Fujiwara, Minamoto, Hira, Sugawara, Kiyohara, Bubu, Oe, Abe, and Oe, with a total of 140 public families.

It was not until after the first year of Kanji that the power of the Fujiwara clan began to decline, and the family division structure was basically established. Until the Tokugawa shogunate, although the Fujiwara clan still had a strong influence among the public, they could not compete with the samurai after all.

Although Sasaki Hideji worshiped and even feared the Fujiwara Clan, the sword in his hand gave him courage, and even made him shout loudly: "Destroy the Fujiwara Clan and serve the General!"

"Onboard!"

"Punish the national traitor and serve the general!"

The desire in the hearts of the soldiers of the shogunate finally broke through the fear of the Fujiwara clan. They pulled out their swords one after another, and some people carried giant trees and rammed towards the gate of the Fujiwara clan.

"Boom-boom-boom-"

The decorative meaning of the gate is far greater than the actual defensive function. Naturally, it was overwhelmed by the impact of the crowd, and it collapsed quickly. Pairs of big feet stepped on the family crest representing the Fujiwara family. The pattern has completely changed beyond recognition, and the pattern can no longer be seen clearly.

The sound of fighting soon rang out, but compared to this raid by the shogunate army, the public was obviously not prepared, and the samurai of the Fujiwara family could only resist with all their strength, but they were cut down very quickly. On the ground, groups of shogunate soldiers began to rush towards the backyard, where there were wealth and women, everything they wanted.

Yamashitaro is the son of an ordinary farmer. He has never seen so many things, things that his poor imagination can't imagine, but today, his hands are trembling slightly, and these things are placed in his hands. In front of him, waiting for his pickup.

"Oh what a wonderful world"

In the Fujiwara mansion full of bloody smell, Yamashitaro took a deep breath, he felt the sweet smell of blood, and also felt the strong smell of powder.

The woman's screams kept ringing in the backyard, and the shogunate soldiers wantonly vented their desires. They not only felt the softness of the woman's body, but also felt a kind of pleasure that they had never experienced before—they are such lowly people , Finally, one day, those noble gentlemen can be trampled under their feet!
In fact, not only the Fujiwara family, but the entire Kyoto family and officials have been completely reduced to the vent tools of the shogunate soldiers. The endless killing and adultery made the shogunate soldiers finally feel a sense of victory. One of their winning ways.

At the same time, when the shogunate wantonly wiped out the royal family, all the heirs of Emperor Nakagomon, including the eldest son, Prince Soren, were also killed by the old Naka Tanaka at this time, and even other heirs of the emperor. At this time, he could only die tragically by the knife, and even the imperial residence in Kyoto was covered with black smoke and dust.

The blazing flames not only devoured the crimes of the Tokugawa shogunate, but also shattered the last glimmer of glory of the emperor. The entire city of Kyoto was filled with tears and massacres. The smell of blood became stronger and stronger, making those who were hiding at home afraid to come out The Japanese people are thinking about a question, that is, how many people did the shogunate kill?

No one knows this number, but no matter who sees this bloody tragedy, they will feel shuddering.

Tokugawa Yoshimune stood on the high platform, looking at the faint fire that had already appeared in the city, but there was a sense of pleasure on his face. If it wasn't for the obstruction of the Gongjiaqing clan, how could he have fallen into this situation?

Only revenge can relieve the pain in his heart.

What happened in the city of Kyoto has not been covered up under heavy fog, at least on the streets of Koka, a thick and powerful hand is holding a pen and recording everything its owner sees.

"Everything that happened in Kyoto is like a nightmare that I can't wake up from. I watched countless people die in front of me. They were killed like pigs and cows. The blood flowed almost the whole street, piled up The dead bodies almost made me think that this place has become a slaughterhouse instead of Kyoto”

As Armand wrote quickly, there was a little pity on his face. He was originally an envoy sent by the Dutch East India Company to the shogunate, but after the Battle of Edo, he followed the shogunate all the way to Kyoto. But today, he saw this unspeakable scene.

"God, what the hell is going on here."

Holding the cross hanging around his neck tightly, Armand mumbled to himself and walked to the window. The Kyoto in front of him was so similar to Edo in those days. seems to be the same group of people
"Bang bang bang-"

Suddenly, there was a hasty knock on the door, as if the people outside were very anxious, which made Armand's heart seized instantly. He didn't know whether what he had done offended these soldiers, or even They all started thinking wildly.

What if you die here?And how was his poor Amanda going to live?

However, the knocking on the door became more and more urgent, which made Armand dare not delay any longer. He hurried over to open the door, and saw a group of shogunate soldiers appearing in front of him, and they stood opposite Armand with a murderous look on their faces. , the long knife in his hand seemed to be stained with a lot of blood.

Armand asked loudly in Japanese nervously, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

The soldiers on the side quickly moved out of the way, only to see a short and stocky general walking over, his face was stained with blood, but when he saw Armand, he looked very polite. He was polite and performed a courtesy.

"Mr. Armand, the general is worried that you will be disturbed by the rebels, so he decided to let us escort you to a safe place."

"But I have no rebels here."

Armand looked at the shogunate soldiers with murderous looks in their eyes, and finally admitted decisively. He raised his hands and said, "I will go with you, just for one thing, can you let me clean up the things in the house?"

The general looked a little impatient, but after all, he was a little jealous of Armand's identity, so he had to agree, and after Armand had packed up, he led him all the way to another residence, where it was very quiet. Can't see the scene here, can't hear other voices.

"Hey, maybe it's a good thing not to see, at least God won't blame me anymore."

Armand thought so, but when he looked up, he saw a smear of maroon on the wall in the distance, and fell into deep thought.

Nanjing, the massacre that broke out in Kyoto, Japan, soon appeared on the front pages of various newspapers. The content was detailed and the evidence was conclusive, but the tragedy revealed between the lines was embarrassing.

Of course, the reason why these newspapers were able to obtain such accurate and detailed news sources was naturally the credit of the secret agents arranged by the Privy Council in Japan. Some of them even personally participated in the massacre of the royal family, so the information they obtained was naturally extremely detailed. lifelike.

When Nanjing people bought these newspapers, they were quickly angered by the contents recorded in them, especially many people had encountered wars more than ten years ago, but they could understand this feeling better. The war that is breaking out now has a lot of support.

Cracking down on infidelity should have been something the heavenly kingdom should have done in the first place.

However, in Peng Qifeng's view, this concentrated report on the Kyoto massacre in Japan is more like a continuation of the strategy of attacking Japan, because its domestic propaganda is only the first wave, and related newspapers will soon spread to Japan. , so as to achieve the effect of the second wave, and this is the real intention of the Privy Council.

"This time, we must bring more newspapers to Japan at all costs. After the Edo fire, we must let more Japanese people understand that the shogunate is the executioner who created all this, and I, Da Chu, did it for The army of benevolence and righteousness that brings peace and hope to Japan!"

In the Press and Publishing Department, the heads of dozens of newspaper organizations listened carefully to Peng Qifeng's speech, and took notes from time to time, while Wang Jingqi, the editor-in-chief of "Qingliu Bao", showed a smile, like this General public opinion wars can be said to be "Qingliu Bao"'s forte, especially in matters like this where there is no opponent at all, it can better reflect the deep roots of his editor-in-chief Wang.

Luo Wentai, an officer of the Fuhan Army who was sitting on the side, had a slight smile on his face. He was originally an officer under the General Staff of the Privy Council, but this time he took on a rather novel official position—public opinion staff, That is to say, he has full authority to deal with the liaison relationship with major newspapers and periodicals in the follow-up public opinion war. To put it bluntly, he is the representative of the military this time.

In fact, in the past, when the Privy Council communicated with other departments under the Executive Yuan, it was very cautious, usually through the cabinet. The purpose was to avoid suspicion and prevent some interested people from taking this matter Make a fuss about the Privy Council.

However, in this matter, it was the emperor Ning Yu who requested it on his own initiative. After all, public opinion warfare, as a unique form of combat, can better cooperate with the frontal battlefield to a certain extent. Therefore, it is natural for the military representatives to join. Inevitably.

Of course, it is still Peng Qifeng who presides over the overall situation. After he assigned all the tasks formally and squarely, he said softly: "Everyone understands that the existence of the Press and Publishing Department is not just for you to restrain everyone, but for more It is good to carry out public opinion propaganda in a planned way and spread more valuable words, so you should also understand that only when everything is in harmony with the imperial court can you be in harmony with the people of the world."

"Yes, we shall cooperate with the imperial court."

Everyone quickly smiled and nodded in agreement. It wasn't that they didn't want to do some big things to increase the sales of the newspapers when they passed by. After entering the prison, no one dared to do anything wrong again.

As the emperor, Ning Yu has never thought of letting go of the jurisdiction of public opinion. After all, he has seen it in his previous life. The threat of those unscrupulous tabloids to this industry can be regarded as a model of bad money driving out good money, because people are keen on chasing hot spots. , while tabloids ignore the facts to create hot spots to obtain traffic, so all the content is naturally filled with a lot of garbage.

After the meeting ended, everyone left the conference room one after another, but Wang Jingqi did not leave immediately. He was still sitting obediently on the chair, looking at the stack of newspapers in front of him, with a slight smile on his face.

Peng Qifeng took out a pack of cigarettes from the drawer, tore open the wrapper on it, and threw one in the direction of Peng Qifeng and Luo Wentai respectively, then took out the lighter and lit it for himself, before saying leisurely: "This time The war of public opinion against Japan is just a preview, in fact, our real goal in the future is not in Asia."

"Europe?"

There was a hint of understanding on Wang Jingqi's face, he took a puff of cigarette lightly, and said in a low voice: "It seems that the Privy Council has great ambitions, and the next three moves have already been considered in the next move, but it is too difficult to do this. gone."

Luo Wentai chuckled, he spit out a smoke ring, and said calmly: "If it's just to deal with Japan, we don't need to spend so much thought at all. It's not very difficult to level the army. In fact, it has a lot to do with it. Although I can’t disclose the specifics, I can talk about simple things.”

Speaking of this, Luo Wentai stood up and said softly: "Today, the defeat of the Tokugawa shogunate is only a matter of time, and after the defeat, Asia will also enter a period of rapid integration, and it will probably only take ten years at most. , the whole of Asia, including the newly discovered Australia, will be included in the world pattern formulated by Da Chu."

"At that time, we will start to fully compete with the Western world. This kind of competition will be carried out from all aspects, and war is only the last resort. In the Privy Council, this new competition model is called" cold war'."

"During the Cold War, the war of public opinion will become a core method, which will help us achieve the strategic goals we should achieve."
