Yang has decided to launch this newspaper as a tool to guide public opinion.

Sun Chengzong saw that the emperor was very confident, it seemed that this led the world's public opinion, Shilin Qing's discussion of the matter is very simple, he felt that this matter is a little unreliable, has always been in the hands of the scholars, in this dynasty, now, to be specific, it is in the hands of the "Donglin Party", think about it, or explain to the emperor the key and powerful, don't let the emperor take it for granted, thinking that the emperor can control the public opinion of the entire Shilin, if the time can not set off the public opinion of the isolated salt merchants, this matter, will be out of touch.

"Dare to ask Your Majesty, this world public opinion, Shilin Qing, Your Majesty is sure that you are sure?"

"The matter of controlling public opinion, hehe, I am still sure, Master Sun, don't worry, wait for me to come out after a while, and get this thing that leads public opinion." Yang Reform is not worried that he will not be able to lead public opinion, this newspaper, but a big killer, will completely take the right to guide public opinion into his own, Yang Reform who has read a basket of novels, this self-confidence is still there. In this inner court, there is its own printing agency, and it is not difficult to open a newspaper.

“…… Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for talking too much, the public opinion in this world, Shilin Qing, is not so easy to control, Your Majesty...... Public opinion has always been a magic weapon used by people in Shilin to suppress the emperor, Your Majesty, this matter is by no means easy to do......" Sun Chengzong finally made this "truth" and the emperor clear.

This public opinion, or Qing Yi, or what Shilin Gong said these things, has always been just a tool used by the people in Shilin to suppress the imperial power, of course, not only can suppress the emperor, but also suppress dissidents, it is the ancient "big killer", how can the hundred officials easily hand over this public opinion guidance power? If the emperor presses it, this matter will definitely end with the emperor not coming down and the emperor having no choice but to do so, because, at that time, the emperor had to face the entire Shilin, to put it mildly, he was the world's scholars.

Seeing that the emperor said it so easily, Sun Chengzong thought that the emperor didn't know what was going on, so he was secretly anxious for the emperor, so he had to make this clear, hoping to attract the emperor's attention and take this matter seriously, otherwise, the whole plan would fall short, and the Ming Dynasty couldn't afford to play it.

Yang Reform wondered, why did Sun Chengzong always grasp the issue of the right to guide public opinion? This hundred officials used public opinion to suppress the emperor, and I didn't know that as soon as my newspaper came out, all those clear discussions and Shilin public opinions were all scum!

Sun Chengzong was in a hurry, and after talking for a long time, he saw that the emperor was not in a hurry at all, and said in his heart, didn't he understand what he said enough? But he said everything that shouldn't be said, and the emperor really figured it out about the twists and turns in this?

"Your Majesty......, does Your Majesty really know what is so powerful in this?" Sun Chengzong this time, but really a little can't see through the emperor, this Qing discussion, Shilin Gong on this kind of public opinion guidance rights, for thousands of years, the emperors have not won much, basically lost more, won less. The emperor who wins is not able to make sense and cut directly with a knife, that is generally the founding emperor, or the emperor who has experienced the founding of the country has this courage, or it is simply the last emperor to do it indiscriminately, the emperor of the general peaceful era wants to compete with Shilin for the right to guide public opinion on this issue, which is not flattering!

Yang Reform felt that this problem, Sun Chengzong made a bit of a fuss, this thing, maybe the ancient emperors due to the problem of vision, it was difficult to have a good way to control public opinion in their hands, and they couldn't help but let people speak. However, the traversers said that they had no pressure on this. As soon as this newspaper came out, public opinion in the world was no longer as crooked as some readers wanted. As the saying goes, justice is in people's hearts, maybe most people in the world are illiterate, but others can understand and comment on this truth. At that time, the emperor achieved the goal of unifying the world's public opinion by controlling the newspaper offices that produced the newspapers, which was just a very simple matter in the eyes of later generations.

"Hehe, Master Sun, what you said about Baiguan Shilin using public opinion to suppress imperial power, I know this thing, and I understand the truth, I am not whimsical, delusional to control the direction of public opinion,...... Hehe, this problem, Master Sun don't worry, I will have a way, I am sure that when the time comes, Master Sun will be surprised, this thing will completely break the history of Baiguan Shilin's control of public opinion orientation, and I will also control this public opinion guidance power in my own hands, when the time comes, Master Sun will watch a good show, hehehe......"

Otaku Yang Reform has 120,000 trust in this newspaper.

Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor in surprise, the emperor even knew this? The emperor actually said the phrase "hundreds of officials use public opinion to suppress imperial power", this kind of "thing", I don't know where the emperor learned it? It was taught by the emperor again, Sun Chengzong didn't dare to say this kind of thing to the emperor at his own expense, if it weren't for the fact that the state affairs were forced to the cliff now, Sun Chengzong would not be willing to mention this kind of taboo thing, but, on the contrary, the emperor seemed to understand and knew, and he was not in a hurry or annoyed, Sun Chengzong felt that this emperor was becoming more and more unclear.

"Since Your Majesty is so sure that this can control the direction of public opinion, then the minister will not say much, but, forgive the old minister, if His Majesty cannot control this public opinion guidance by then, the minister will advise His Majesty not to act rashly, and if Your Majesty needs the world's public opinion to develop in a situation favorable to Your Majesty, the old minister may be able to think of some way,...... In his early years, Lao Chen was also a person who entered the "Donglin Point General Record", in this "Donglin Point General Record", he was ranked as a short star, and now most of the world's public opinion has entered the grasp of the Donglin people,...... Although it cannot completely control public opinion, it can at least play a role......"

Sun Chengzong let it go, today, it is to take the taboo of this officialdom, one offense and one offense, not that Sun Chengzong is stupid, but that the Ming Dynasty is about to overturn, and he is also a person who has half a foot in the coffin, so he can't take care of so many taboos, people are dying, there are no taboos; The country is about to die, and there are no taboos.

"Hehe, Master Sun is laughing ......, this matter is free and measured."

"Donglin Point General Record", Earth Short Star, Sun Chengzong? Yang Reform was "thundered" by Sun Chengzong's words, but he didn't expect that Sun Chengzong still had this kind of "fantasy" treatment. This, it seems, the person who wrote this book is really a genius, if you get to the starting point to write fantasy, the subject matter, just scratch and pull out one, what setting, outline, upgrade route, level, appropriate character name, everything has a master-level level.

Donglin? Donglin Party? Alas, the performance of the Donglin Party after the end is a nightmare! Yang Reform sighed at the Donglin Party again.

In this matter, Yang Reform does not intend to use Sun Chengzong's relationship in the Donglin Party, it is not that Yang Reform looks down on the Donglin Party, but their "historical achievements", which is too bad, if it is the original Chongzhen, he may be very happy to accept Sun Chengzong's suggestion, but for the traverser Yang Reform, it is another matter.

Sun Chengzong saw that the emperor blindly insisted, so he didn't say anything anymore, and today, he has committed a lot of taboos in officialdom for the sake of this state affair.

"Since His Majesty insists, the minister won't say much, this step, even if it is so. Then, then it is through this His Majesty said that the whole country cracks down on the rebellious merchants, isolates the salt merchants in one fell swoop, oppresses the hundred officials with a matter of rebellion, so that the hundred officials dare not move, and then uses the salt to defeat the salt merchants, and collects the salt industry in one fell swoop. Sun Chengzong no longer dwelled on the issue of public opinion, but began to arrange the steps of the salt cutter.

"Well, yes, once public opinion is set off, a large amount of salt will be sold quickly, and at the same time, suppress the salt merchants, suppress the hundred officials, so that they dare not act rashly, it is better if they do not move, once they make a move, I will authorize the Jinyi Guard to command Fang Hongzan to immediately suppress, if Fang Hongzan dares to release water, my new army is not vegetarian." Yang Gai is very confident in his own arrangement.

This step is a critical step, a decisive step, and a step with the most variables, Sun Chengzong thought carefully for a while before he arrived: "In this way, it is also feasible." ”

"Oh, yes! Master Sun, the Ming Dynasty is counting on this salt class to save his life, no matter how powerful the salt merchant is, no matter how deep the entanglement is, I will cut it. Yang Reform said with a smile.

Sun Chengzong frowned and thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty is right, the Ming Dynasty has reached the edge of the cliff, if you still cower, the result will be a catastrophe!" His Majesty is a holy lord with great wisdom, great perseverance, and great courage, and all kinds of matters arranged by His Majesty are interlocking, and they can be described as far-reaching,...... To put it mildly, there are a number of elite soldiers in the world, and His Majesty has gathered in Beijing, even if someone wants to rebel, they have to weigh ...... "Sun Chengzong" is very optimistic about the emperor's means, no matter what, at least the elite soldiers in the world are in the hands of the emperor, and at least three points have been won.

"Huh? Rebel? I am not afraid of rebellion, this is just as Master Sun said, the elite of the world have been concentrated in Jingshi, or just outside the pass, who else has such great ability to rebel? To suppress, but with a flick of a finger. "Yang Reform is very proud, this transfer of the world's elite into Beijing Gongwei Beijing Division, is his own proud work, the excuse is that the wild boar skin may enter the customs, with a sand table deduction, the group of ministers frightened out of their courage, did not dare to oppose their own transfer of troops into Beijing, and thought that their transfer of troops into Beijing was to deal with the Eastern Prisoners, but I didn't expect that their own transfer of troops, there is also a spearhead, which is aimed at them. When the time comes, the wild boar skin will also be beaten, the salt merchant will also be cut, and the rebellious peasants will have to be dealt with.

Yang Gai felt that what was more terrible than committing suicide and the fall of the Ming Dynasty? If you want to avoid the tragedy of Chongzhen's seventeenth year, you will definitely make some moves, and if you have to move the interests of some people, there will be conflicts.

"Your Majesty, there are a few more things that the minister doesn't understand, and I ask Your Majesty to make it clear." The two knots in Sun Chengzong's heart, one is to buy the Mongols and let them spy on the news, and the other is why Mangui's 6,000 people are divided into 6,000 people? These two questions don't seem to have much to do with the salt cutter, at most they can be seen as part of the collection of evidence from the Shanxi businessman, but isn't it a waste to make such a big move?

"Oh? What else does Master Sun not understand? Straight to the point? ”

"Your Majesty, this minister has always wanted to remind Your Majesty that this military situation is related to the safety of the community, Your Majesty still don't rely entirely on the good of the Mongols, you still have to have your own horses to explore the horses at night, and you have to have your own meticulous work!" Sun Chengzong said worriedly about his worries.

"Hehe, it's this, it doesn't matter, I already have an arrangement, collect intelligence, divide it into multiple routes, I have arranged for Cao Huachun to specialize in intelligence on the Mongolian side, this, Master Sun also knows."

"This, the old minister knows, but it is also the old minister's worry, this factory guard, has always been only responsible for His Majesty, that is, there is an old minister to take care of His Majesty, this news through the hands of the old minister, and then back to the front of the general, this back and forth, the consumption time is too long, it is not good for the war!" Sun Chengzong's worries are naturally justified, this factory guard has always been only responsible for the emperor, and it has always been the emperor first, waiting for the emperor to get the news, and then turning back to the place, this time, the delay will be long.

"This matter, Master Sun, don't worry, this intelligence, in addition to Cao Huachun, there are also Mongolian tribes, the army itself has its own intelligence system, and it has its own night not to collect, this is not a contradiction, the army is only responsible for military intelligence, this Cao Huachun, is concerned about the comprehensive, including military, people's livelihood, materials, etc., this is not a conflict, Master Sun is responsible for coordinating from it, the news on both sides, exchange information, if necessary, I will inform Cao Huachun, let his manpower assist the border generals."

Originally, the army had its own set of intelligence systems, but at the end of the Ming Dynasty, this system on the army was almost completely ineffective, so Yang Reform had to get some intelligence systems to replace the army, otherwise, relying on the army intelligence system alone, when this wild boar skin arrived in Yanjing City, he didn't know it.

"The old minister still doesn't understand, why is this dividing Mangui's 6,000 elites into 6,000 people, and also dividing the region, Your Majesty intends to stay for a long time? Isn't this a distraction? Could it be that Your Majesty is just to arrest those rebellious Shanxi businessmen, this, there is no need! If you want a few businessmen to slip through the net, it can't be the same as the weight of these 6,000 elites! Sun Chengzong didn't understand why.

"That's how I think about it. Isn't the Dongyu now sweeping the roads in Mongolia? When the time comes, Yuan Chonghuan will go west from Liaodong outside the Guan, and this Mangui is on the side wall, combing from south to north, so that soon, you can clean up those tribes who have grievances against our dynasty and the tribes that have taken refuge in the Dongyu Houjin, and if you don't obey our dynasty, you must be ready to perish,...... I heard that this Eastern Captive Houjin is ready to expand the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the idea is to use the Mongols to plump their wings ....... My plan is to organize the Mongol Imperial Cooperative Army to assist our dynasty in the war, and use the elite bullets of our dynasty to suppress these imperial alliance troops and let them fight against the Eastern Emperor Houjin, so that the dual effect of consuming Mongolia and Eastern Emperor Houjin can be achieved. Yang Reform talked nonsense, at this time, there was only one shadow of Mengbaqi, it was not officially established, and it did not officially appear in history. However, I do have the idea of collecting the Mongolian Eight Banners as my wings. It's not nonsense to talk about things now.

"Expansion of the Mongolian Eight Banners? Is this true? "Get this news, Sun Chengzong was very nervous, the most fatal weakness of the East Captive Houjin is the sparse population, but there are not many elites to fight, even if the Ming Dynasty has fought with the East Captives over the years, there are many defeats, but the East Captives can not stand the Ming Dynasty There are many people, and how much they have also killed a group of elites of the Eastern Captives and Houjin, so if this continues to grind, as long as the Houjin has a time that cannot be parried, and there is a mistake, it is an irreversible big failure, and the Ming Dynasty can come again if it fails, and has the "right" to fail many times.

It is precisely because of this relationship that Sun Chengzong has always had a great psychological advantage over the Eastern Houjin, believing that it doesn't matter if the Ming Dynasty fails a few more times, as long as there is a turnaround, the Houjin will lose all the games. Now I heard the emperor say that the Eastern Emperor Houjin used the Mongols to fill his wings, then, the situation of few people and few soldiers will be reversed immediately, and at that time, this advantage of the Ming Dynasty will be gone. Even on the Mongolian side, which has been pressing, there is an unpredictable situation, which is really erosive and unbearable, and it is terrible.

"This must be true, how can it be child's play on military affairs? However, not many people know about this matter, and even the Dongyu Houjin may still be discussing specific methods. So, I'm going to be the first to strike. Yang Gengai remembered that the first time the wild boar skin entered the customs next year, there were a lot of Mongolian tribes, and it was precisely because of the success of this robbery that the Mongolian side established its prestige, which established the Mongolian Eight Banners, and the situation of the lack of strong men in the wild boar skin population was improved. Therefore, Yang Reform is very concerned about this, weakening the opponent's strength, this is very necessary.

"If that's the case, then Your Majesty, be careful! This Dongyu Houjin, its ambition, is not small! In this way, it is completely feasible for His Majesty to organize the Imperial Cooperative Army, so it is, so it is...... "Sun Chengzong began to add more weight to the weight of this Eastern Emperor Houjin in his mind. The emperor organized the imperial army, and immediately agreed, no wonder the emperor always said that he wanted to buy the Mongols, and always said that he would send Man Gui to clean up Mongolia, it turned out that the root was here! The emperor's news is really well-informed! This factory guard is really amazing! Even the internal news of the Dongyu Houjin can be obtained, no wonder this Shanxi businessman conspired against him, the emperor is clear, it turns out that the emperor has driven a nail in the interior of the Dongyu! Sun Chengzong's impression of the emperor is even better. By the way, Jin Yiwei and Dongchang have also increased a lot of goodwill.

"In this case, the minister suggested that Your Majesty immediately expand the scale of this imperial alliance army, and be sure to collect a group of Mongolian elites before the Eastern Capture Houjin, and think about the future, if this Eastern Emperor Houjin wants to expand the Mongolian Eight Banners, I am afraid it will not be so simple. Sun Chengzong figured it out, and immediately with excitement, he danced and suggested that the emperor expand the imperial army and cut off the wild boar skin and rely on the plump wings of the Mongols.

Yang Gai looked at Sun Chengzong, who was "dancing", very "embarrassed", this imperial alliance army, it seems that it is just a "military number" put forward by the leader of a small Mongolian tribe, and now it has become a sharp weapon to fight wild boar skin! This, I have to say, is impermanent.
