C804 Horrible public opinion

Since ancient times, China has always had a clear understanding of the power of public opinion. People think that the power of modern media originated in the west because of the ignorance and backwardness of Chinese scholar-officials. This is a big fallacy.

In fact, the Eastern Western Civilization already knew about the role of propaganda weapons thousands of years ago. Public opinion tools had to be concentrated in the hands of the rulers, and in the Western Middle Ages, public opinion was controlled by the Holy See, while Chinese public opinion had always been concentrated in the hands of Confucian scholars and emperors.

The imperial government had its own report, and the people had their own Confucian Scholars' Association. The two sides complemented each other and influenced the people's thoughts. Any dissidents would be banned, and there had been very few word prisons since ancient China.

The West must be free and open? Although it was a civil war in the Holy Roman Empire on the surface, the core of it was still Martin Luther's thesis of article 95. That was because the new idea was challenging the authority of the Church, and in the end, was still fighting for the right to interpret Christianity.

Your Church says that the atonement scrolls are useful, but Protestantism denies it. The Church says that faith requires complicated and complicated church rituals, but Protestantism says that faith only requires a person's pious heart. Every single piece was in disagreement with the Church, and the two sides were fighting over the right to interpret God.

Then the war broke out, and that was the most famous Thirty Years War in European history. This war completely shattered the Sacred Roman Empire, allowing this country to appear, turning the German Empire into a loose States, and letting the France have a big advantage.

In addition, it indirectly promoted the rise of European nationalist countries, and a huge rift appeared in theocracy, causing its foundation to loosen.

Tie Zheng's history had proven that all the civilizations in the world valued the power of public opinion. A freer public opinion environment in Europe was not something that was born to be. It was a power that millions of people had fought for after decades of war.

Due to China's special geographical environment and cultural background, the control of public opinion had entered an increasingly harsh situation. In the last year of the Ming Dynasty, there were many schools of study in Jiangnan, and all kinds of new ideas had emerged. However, once the Qing Dynasty came, there were only two kinds of people left who could wield a butcher's knife — one was dead, the other was alive — but as for your freedom, you had to fight for it in hell.

Public opinion was highly concentrated, the word prison was in full swing, and the whole of Chinese thought was completely frozen.

In conclusion, the reason was very simple, because the Qing Dynasty was established by martial prowess, and from the bottom of their hearts, they knew clearly that if they were to bicker with the Han people, they would definitely lose. Let alone them, even the Old Zhu Family, who was also Chinese, was also pushed down by the civil officials.

Manchu who carried Tongus along with them did not want to live in such a miserable state, so they chose the simplest and most direct method to destroy him.

You talk too much nonsense? I cut down with my blade. You're quoting from the book? I'll burn your classics.

Everyone said that the dryad taking care of the Four Treasury Books was a huge achievement, but using the opportunity to take care of it, how many so-called Forbidden Books had he checked? How much was destroyed? This number was too many to count.

The great boss that the Western Civilization had locked up people's thoughts was the Holy See, which was also known as the Divine Right. And the great boss that sealed down Chinese people's thoughts was also known as the Emperor, which was also known as the Sovereign Right.

In the end, the Holy See was defeated bit by bit, providing the soil for the free thought to grow, while China's monarchy became more stubborn after repeated purges and massacres.

Back then, Xiao Letian and the imperial government were enemies, but when the Tanggu was in a stalemate, the truth was that the Manchu did not care about one or two defeats at all. To the imperial government, human lives were the lowest.

Even if there were tens of thousands of deaths in the Manchu among them, the imperial government would only watch them coldly. Perhaps in their hearts, they were glad that the Long Hair had helped reduce the burden on them.

But when Xiao Letian brought out the huge killing machine known as the newspaper, the imperial court that had always been as steady as Mt. Tai, went crazy. They were shocked to discover that Xiao Letian actually possessed a weapon that could compete with them for the hearts of men. The reason in this world was not only something they could explain themselves, it was also something that they could explain themselves.

Furthermore, it was a Grand Master of Western Studies who had exposed them. Xiao Letian had ten thousand ways to reveal the deception set up by the imperial government, and he might even be able to overturn the idea of the Heaven's Mandate of Monarch.

Because of this, the imperial government had secretly made a secret agreement with Xiao Letian. I admit that you have the rule of the Tanggu Industrial Special Zone and recognize your position as the Prime Minister of the Ryukyu, but you cannot release newspapers, flyers, etc.

Coincidentally, Xiao Letian also needed time to accumulate strength, he couldn't possibly want to build several heavy industry bases without a peaceful time to develop, so after the two sides stopped fighting, the newspapers and flyers also quietly disappeared.

But today, the shameless imperial court had actually stolen the craftsmanship of making banknotes. Furthermore, they had even shamelessly refused to admit it. This caused Ryukyu to be extremely furious.

To start a war for a little fake money was definitely unrealistic, but Xiao Letian had to retaliate, to prevent the imperial government from passing the year, so the CIA and the Prime Minister discussed for half a night, and in the end, decided to use the newspaper to give the Qing Dynasty a big slap, they had to let them know that it hurt.

La Ba's day was also a good time for the newspapers to launch an attack. Not only did the anti-establishment newspapers write about the dangers of the proliferation of counterfeit currency, the CIA had also sent over a few large gift packs.

Guangzhou City General, forcibly snatch civilian girls illegal enclaves, thousands of civilians displaced... The Shanghai Road's platform coveted beauty, causing the Jiang Nan mega-merchant's family to be ruined … Northeast General Liu Liu Liu Liu Liu side slaughter village, a thousand pass outside the Chinese refugees were killed, the scene is absolutely tragic …

All the accusations were substantiated with names and names. CIA had even printed a few leaflets at all costs that introduced the ugly expressions of these corrupt officials to the people of the capital using simple cartoon illustrations.

The Beijing was in chaos, the Beijing Belt was in an uproar, the entire Li Clan was in an uproar … When Prince Kung Yi summoned the permanent officials of the Ryukyu, he angrily protested, then laughed and said to the rogue diplomat picked by Xiao Letian.

"Reporting to Your Highness, this is just an appetizer. Now that the new issue of the newspaper has been printed in Shanghai, it will be overflowing the entire Jiangnan within three days..." If the imperial government still doesn't have the sincerity to negotiate, we don't mind publishing the newspaper to Korea, Fusang and Nanyang... Even Europa! "

With a "pa" sound, another set of expensive porcelain was smashed into pieces. Ryukyu's toughness made the Duke not believe it, he never thought that Xiao Letian would dare to smash the pot to this extent.
