On October 27, 15,000 Anguo Army besieged Yan'an Prefecture. After five days of hard work, the artillery bombed the city walls and wiped out more than 5,000 defenders. In this case, the Anguo Army killed 275 people and injured 380 people.
On November 10th, the army gradually recovered Yanchang, and more than 20 prefectures and counties including Yanchuan, Baoan, Ansai, Anding, Suide, Mizhi and other counties. Three hundred thousand people broke free from the iron hooves of the Tartars and reappeared the light.
On December 15, the Anguo army took advantage of the frozen Yellow River and crossed the river in one fell swoop to seize Yongning Prefecture. The clarion call for marching into Shanxi. At the same time, the Anguo army on the Luoyang side captured Pingyang, and the two armies of the north and south were already encircled Shanxi!
...
Countless good news came from the front one after another, and all parts of Henan were immersed in a happy atmosphere. Last year, in order to promote the new policy, Gu Zhenhua issued the first newspaper called "Minutes of Political Affairs", which mainly explained the policy of military farming, and also published a large number of news about rectifying the administration of officials, punishing corrupt officials, reducing taxes, and encouraging industry and commerce.
Although the Ming Dynasty had a developed reporting system, it was only for the top, especially officials, and it was accessible to everyone from the beginning. The "Minutes of Political Affairs" was aimed at everyone from the beginning, and the language was more straightforward, just like talking in the city.
Another measure is to use simplified characters in a unified manner. Gu Zhenhua thought this measure would be opposed, but the result was completely unexpected. Many literati even stood up and publicly applauded the simplified characters. Only some sour and conservative old scholars opposed it a few times, but they were quickly suppressed.
In fact, since the birth of Chinese characters, they have been constantly simplified. If you really want to be retro, you should use pictograms!
By the end of the Ming Dynasty, many simplified characters in later generations had already appeared, but there were no formal norms. Therefore, it was more used by the people and fewer formal documents.
However, as an open era that could accept Westerners such as Matteo Ricci and Johnson Chan. The Ming Dynasty scholars were particularly enlightened in simplifying their writing. Only the Qing Tartars would, in order to control wisdom and control scholars, do not hesitate to go against the times, find out the words that have been eliminated from a pile of old papers and take them as a guideline.
In fact, there is another great benefit to using simplified characters, because paper is still very expensive. Using traditional characters with many strokes, you can't write much content on a page of paper. Simplified characters greatly enrich the amount of information and reduce the cost of knowledge. It is undoubtedly a great blessing for poor students.
When Gu Zhenhua proposed the initiative to simplify Chinese characters, Fang Yizhi and others also helped him conduct some serious research, believing that simplifying the drafting of characters, adapting to the changes of the laws of nature, and passing on the unique skills of the sages is a contribution to the present and future generations.
Fang Yizhi led more than 200 scholars to form the Standardized and Simplified Text Department. After several months of hard work, they have successively announced the first batch of 200 simplified characters and adopted them in newspaper documents.
Gu Zhenhua also considered some beautiful issues and did not rush to achieve success, but asked them to steadily move forward. Indeed, after the font was simplified, more and more ordinary people could read and read, and the sales volume of newspapers increased exponentially.
The people are not so numb. They are concerned about the changes in this era, the wars of the frontiers, the opening of ports in the southeast, and the barbarians overseas have all become topics that the people often discuss.
The great enlightenment of people's wisdom and academic excitement are the beginning of a new era!
"Extra, extra!"
"The number one warrior in the Qing Dynasty was captured, and eight thousand Tartars were wiped out!"
"Everyone went to Ximen to watch the fun. Oboi was escorted here!"
The newspaper boy ran and shouted. When the people on the street heard it, they stood up and couldn't help laughing.
"Let's go. Let's take a look. This excitement is not always available. Next time, I'm afraid I'll capture that shitty regent!"
The common people called on their friends and smiled and rushed towards the west city.
At this time, at a tea stall on the street, a man and a woman were drinking tea. The man was in his early twenties, not tall, with a dark face, and a very tough figure. He was wearing a short knife under his ribs.
The girl opposite was also petite and delicate, with a bunch of braids on her head and beads and flowers. She had crescent-like eyes, always with a smile, and her green-hearted clothes were full of youthful vitality. She was not honest when sitting, and she crossed her legs and looked around.
"Second brother, have you heard that, the number one warrior of the Qing Dynasty, let's go and have a look at the fun, right?"
The man opposite frowned and said unhappily: "Sister Three, we came to Kaifeng because we were ordered by grandma. You also agreed to listen to me, so you can't go back on your word!"
"I can't be a wooden man if you hear that. Besides, I finally went out of Sichuan. When we go back, my grandma asked what she saw and couldn't say a word. You don't feel embarrassed!"
The man thought about it, waved his hand, and called the newspaper boy over.
"This guy, who is this number one warrior in Tartar?"
"Haha, you're a foreigner who is accent. If you come to a newspaper, you will know everything." The newspaper boy said as he sent a number to him.
"I heard that Obai pushed eight horses and turned around and turned back. His arms were thicker than ordinary people's thighs. He ate raw meat and drank human blood. He was simply a demon king who emerged from the ground. The young man sold these newspapers and was preparing to watch the excitement. I heard that the prince would come out in person to welcome the meritorious soldiers!"
The girl listened on the side, the crescent eyes were filled with light, her fists were clenched tightly, and she said excitedly: "You are going, you are going, you must go!"
She looked at the newspaper in the newspaper boy's arms and grabbed it. The newspaper boy was still a little stunned. She took out a small ingot of five taels of silver from her pocket and stuffed it into the newspaper boy's hands.
"I've bought all these, so you can lead the way."
"Oh!" The newspaper boy nodded excitedly. This was the money he could not earn for a month. It was like a pie that he had lost in the sky. He was leading the way in front of him happily.
"Sister Three, you can spend money too much. That's five taels of silver. It's enough to have one newspaper. Why are you buying so much?"
"I'm happy!" The girl curled her lips: "Second brother, why are you so elm-headed? There is no newspaper in Sichuan. If you take it back and sway in front of the toasts around you, they will surely pay the money. If there are no ten taels, I won't sell it yet!"
The man couldn't help but shake his head and smiled bitterly: "San sister, you have grown your mind. Do we want to buy another bag of backs to Sichuan?"
They smiled and said, all the way to Ximen. At this time, the people inside and outside had already been full of people. The roadside was a cordon pulled out by soldiers. The people outside all stretched their necks and looked inside.
The girl's eyes were all on the guards. She grabbed Xiao Shutong and asked, "What are the heads of those soldiers? Why are they so tall?"
"Hahaha, Miss, that's a bearskin hat. Only elites in the Guards can wear it. Don't underestimate that hat. It's a whole bearskin, which is precious! In a few years, I want to join the army. If I can get a bearskin hat and take it back as a family heirloom, I won't be too proud!"
The girl became more and more interested in the more she looked at her. She couldn't help but stretch out her fingers and clicked them one by one.
"Be good! These hats are probably going to cost hundreds of blind bears. An Guojun is really rich.
The man didn't care and said, "Our Baigang Soldiers are not bad either. Grandma has made so many contributions, but it's just a pity that the imperial court is incompetent. If we can give us more money and food, who will Baigang Soldiers be afraid of!"
...
While they were talking, a sound of horse hooves came from the city. Gu Zhenhua and the civil and military officials personally arrived at the city gate. Xia Shouli, Yan Yingyuan, Wu Kaijie, Li Xu, Guo Yunlong and others surrounded Gu Zhenhua like stars holding the moon.
Gu Zhenhua's face was full of a warm smile, and he nodded frequently to the people on the roadside. His eyes swept over and saw the girl jumping and looking inside. The alien outfit made Gu Zhenhua a little stunned, but then he also smiled warmly.
The girl couldn't help but jump excitedly and said with a smile: "Second brother, he is laughing at me!"
At this time, there was also a loud noise outside the city, with drums and music and firecrackers ringing.
Li Laiheng personally escorted Oboi and Suksaha and came from outside. The injury on Li Laiheng's arm has not healed yet, but as long as you don't use force, it's okay.
His young heart was riding on the war horse, with cheering crowds everywhere, singing and dancing figures everywhere. His blood was also rising, and his face turned red!
Seeing Gu Zhenhua and the others from afar, Li Laiheng hurriedly jumped off the horse and trotted to Gu Zhenhua. He raised his right hand and respectfully saluted.
"Report to the prince, Bei Yi has brought Oboi and Suksaha who were captured. Please check it out!"
As he said that, the prison cart behind him swayed and pushed it over, and Oboi was placed in the first prison cart. It has to be said that the vitality of the first warrior is indeed tenacious. He lost one of his arm and was injured again in the lower abdomen, almost half his life was lost. As a result, after the rescue of the military doctor, he actually survived.
Oboi lay in the prison car, his eyes closed tightly, but when he arrived in Kaifeng, he suddenly opened his eyes and his eyes fell on Gu Zhenhua in the middle of the crowd.
Aobai suddenly struggled and shouted: "Zhongshan King, Zhongshan King, Aobai finally saw you!"
Hearing the call, Gu Zhenhua also felt great interest in this powerful Qing Dynasty minister. He took a few steps and came to the front of the prison car.
With a lot of carefulness, Obai is a burly and sturdy guy with a beard on his face. Although he is not half a life at this time, he still has a majestic power.
"Hahaha, what a man of the Qing Dynasty, Batulu, I have been acclaimed for a long time."
"The King of Zhongshan, Aobai is already a defeated general, and there is no need to say anything. Here, Obai has something to ask for, so please ask the prince to agree."
"Obai, you Batulu have been exchanged for the blood of countless Han people. I let you go, and those heroes in the sky can't let you go!"
