Chapter 21 Detonating Tokyo City

So far, it can be said that the situation has been basically straightened out by Zhao Ning.

The capitulation faction temporarily retreated, the morale of the Forbidden Army was also improved, and the people in charge of the defense system were arranged.

Through this series of operations, the people also knew the attitude of the imperial court.

The public atmosphere is also being stirred up.

leftover?

All that's left is to blow up the whole city!

How to blow up the whole city?

When it was getting dark, Qin Hui finally came.

"Guan Jia, the Tokyo Daily News you asked me to handle has been processed."

"Okay, early tomorrow morning, the front page of the daily newspaper will be published to ensure that it sells well throughout the city. My article will be published on the first page of the Tokyo Daily News."

Qin Hui was a little surprised: "Guan Jia, do you want to write the book yourself?"

"I have already written it."

Zhao Ning picked up the manuscript and handed it to Qin Hui.

"Yes, I will publish it truthfully."

Zhao Ning confirmed some details of the newspaper with Qin Hui, such as how the newspaper sellers sold it and what slogans they shouted. They all confirmed it.

After Qin Hui left, he began to read what the emperor had written.

When I saw this, I was immediately surprised.

Early the next morning, just after dawn, Zhao Ning dressed in casual clothes and sneaked out of the palace.

There are more childish voices on the streets.

They were some children about ten years old. They were holding pieces of paper in their hands and shouting loudly: "Wei Hao Wei, Zhao Guan's family's strategy to defend against the enemy, Zhao Guan's family's strategy to defend against the enemy! Come and take a look.

look."

"Hey, kid, what is this?"

"This is a newspaper, the Tokyo Daily News, which contains an article about Zhao Guan's family."

"Guan Jia? My child, are you mistaken? Guan Jia wrote it himself?"

Several people gathered around.

"yes!"

"Come, show me."

"A penny a share."

"One penny a share? I can buy a steamed bun for just one penny, but you kid is trying to steal the money!"

"Boy, give me one."

"I want one too."

Those are obviously scholars.

Someone was surprised: "Huh? It's actually Dabaiwen!"

"This, this, this...this is actually Dabaiwen! It's vulgar! It's so vulgar!"

Zhao Ning sat nearby for a while. He heard those people talking, but it didn't matter.

He just wants to write plain text that anyone who can read can understand, and what he wants is the effect of rapid dissemination.

He counted a total of 38 people who bought newspapers from the boy.

Qin Hui arranged for a total of 20 people to sell this kind of newsboys.

Nearly a thousand newspapers must be sold today.

Selling newspapers is not to make money, but to spread the word.

Zhao Ning also asked Qin Hui to arrange some storytellers to tell stories in various places in the city.

For example, there are quite a few storytellers near Daxiangguo Temple, which has a lot of traffic.

Zhao Ning got on the carriage and walked around the city, and soon reached the Daxiangguo Temple.

He began to see and hear people talking.

Today's Tokyo Daily headlines don't contain much content. They are very simple and mainly divided into two points:

1. Introducing the tactics of the Jin army: besieging the city to bring reinforcements, encircling and making peace at the same time, in order to achieve the destruction of the Song Dynasty.

2. Countermeasures.

The Jin army besieged the city and called for reinforcements?

That's right, besieging the city and calling for reinforcements.

The Jin army had 150,000 soldiers and horses outside the city, and there were 50,000 Jin troops outside Tongguan, blocking the eastward advance of King Qin from all the troops in Shaanxi.

Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Xiyin took turns supervising the battle outside Tongguan.

As for surrounding and making peace at the same time, Zhao Ning also explained this concept in the newspaper.

The city of Tokyo is impregnable, and there are still 70,000 defenders in the city. The Jin army tried to break through the city by force, but it proved impossible.

The Jin army has been approaching the city since the beginning of this month. They have tried several times and failed to break the city.

Therefore, the Jin army must have laid siege to the city and caused huge psychological pressure in the city, while at the same time revealing their willingness to negotiate peace to provoke a united front within the Song Dynasty.

On November 20th, Feng Fu went to Jinying as an envoy to negotiate peace, but the negotiations failed.

Finally, Zhao Ning came to a conclusion: The purpose of the Jin people is to destroy the Song Dynasty and destroy our homeland. We must fight the Jin people to the end and fight to the last person. I swear to live and die with Tokyo.

In fact, when the Jin army came to the city, most of the people had no idea of ​​the Jin's methods, and even the ministers in the court had no idea of ​​the Jin's intentions.

The common people only know that the Jin people want to attack the city, so we have to defend the city.

The officials believed that the Jin people were here to extort money. After all, the Song Dynasty used money to settle the affairs of Xia and Liao in the past.

Only a few people truly realize that the tactics of the Jin people are very cunning.

They used force to coerce and pretended to negotiate peace to divide the Song Dynasty.

Are Jin people so smart?

Yes, this era is the highlight moment of the Jurchen people, and now there are not only Jurchens in the Jin Dynasty court, but also the Khitan ministers and Han ministers of the Liao Kingdom who have perished.

This is a time when talents are abundant.

On the other hand, the Song Dynasty was not only beaten to the ground in military terms, but also beaten in terms of strategy.

Zhao Ning's article "The Jin Man's Strategies to Attack the City" undoubtedly disclosed the Jin Man's methods to the entire city of Tokyo.

This is called inoculating everyone in advance so that everyone can be mentally prepared. When the time comes when the Jin people propose to negotiate a peace, everyone must know that they are pretending to negotiate a peace and don't be deceived by them.

Zhao Ning wants the people to realize this deeply. Only the people realize this deeply. The next time Wanyan Zonghan says he wants to negotiate for peace, the peace negotiators in the court will not dare to be presumptuous due to the pressure of public opinion.

This eliminates the need for the emperor to personally come out to fight against those stubborn surrender factions.

This is called putting a sword of public opinion on the heads of the capitulationists, completely blocking the opportunities behind them.

Killing people and killing people is nothing more than that.

As for the second countermeasure, Zhao Ning pointed out the enemy's shortcomings.

The enemy's advantage is strong field combat capabilities, but the enemy's shortcomings are also obvious. They are deep into the hinterland of the Song Dynasty and have weak logistics, so the Jin people want to win a quick victory.

Then Zhao Ning told everyone not to fight with the Jin people quickly, but to be patient, calm down, and wait for King Qin's army.

Today's newspapers are spreading rapidly, and Qin Hui specially arranged people to preach the contents of the newspapers in the form of story telling in downtown areas.

Now it is about the safety of their own homes. Ordinary people are very concerned about this matter, and everyone is listening carefully.

In front of the Daxiangguo Temple, a middle-aged man listened to the people above and said, "From what we heard, the Jin people deliberately deceived us and said that we could negotiate peace. In fact, they wanted to give some people in the city false expectations and undermine our will.

is that so?"

"Yes! That's it!"

"Then we will fight to the death and not surrender! If anyone dares to negotiate for peace, we will kill him! We will be on the street during this period. If any dog ​​official dares to negotiate for peace, we will be the first to hit him with this big stick!"

"Yes! Beat the dog official who negotiated peace to death!"

"The officials have already said that they will defend Tokyo to the death with us! What else do we have to fear!"

"The officials recently killed the surrender ministers and beheaded several soldiers who robbed the people. I heard that they will kill several officials related to this incident."

"Long live the official family!"

"Long live my emperor!"

In front of the Daxiangguo Temple, a group of people shouted excitedly.

At first, there were only about ten people shouting there, but gradually the number of voices increased.

The hotly discussed content spread quickly, spreading from one to ten and then to a hundred.

Everyone began to quickly understand the content of the article "The Jin Man's Strategies to Attack the City".

It was the first time that the emperor communicated with many people in Tokyo at such a close distance, albeit in the form of newspapers.

It cuts out the filtering of the bunch of bullshit in the middle and conveys the emperor's intentions directly to the lowest level.

This scene reminds people of Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong who sent officials to surrender more than half a month ago. They were beaten to death by the people of Tokyo before they even left Tokyo.

However, this time, the people's emotions were even higher than last time.

And the Jinren's intention of defrauding peace began to take root in people's hearts.

This is called a united front.
