Chapter 311： Public opinion

The Dutch fleet arrived at Songjiang under the **** of Wu Jun's navy.

After that, Wu Jun ignored them.

Their purpose is only to prevent Hurd and Zhu Yihai from doing business, not to **** Hurd's goods. Although you can save a lot of money by grabbing it directly, it is by no means cost-effective in the long run.

If they lose their credibility, other businessmen will not dare to come to Songjiang to do business in the future.

After Hurd and Albert came ashore, they left the crew to take care of the cargo, and then they set off for Nanjing. They are going to find Wu Changqing to reconsider the trade rules.

The previously agreed rules were too simple. As the business activities of both parties became more frequent and the problems and frictions encountered more and more, those agreements no longer apply.

When they came to Nanjing, they were ignored and could not wait for Wu Changqing's reception.

At present, Wu Changqing and other important officials are busy preparing before becoming emperor, and there is really no time to take care of them.

Ascended to the throne and proclaimed emperor, Wu Changqing's current hard power naturally has no problems, and no one can stop it.

However, he ascended the throne to get the support of the people and all walks of life, rather than relying on suppressing others to secure the throne.

The throne won by repression will certainly not last long.

People's minds are sometimes useless, and sometimes they are essential.

After all, Daming lasted for more than two hundred years and was deeply rooted among the people. It is not an easy task to change their ideas and allow them to accept a new dynasty.

If you don't do anything and just ascend to the throne, some people will definitely take advantage of this to encourage the people to rebel and make trouble.

Wu Changqing has always been committed to common prosperity, but this is just a good wish, and it cannot be realized.

In the implementation of various policies, many people have benefited, but some people will inevitably be offended.

For example, some scholars who firmly supported the imperial examination, some businessmen whose business was affected and went bankrupt, and some depressed old-style bureaucrats.

In short, there are more than 20 million people in his jurisdiction. It is normal to have people who hate him, and it is not normal to have no one.

Once these people find an opportunity, there will definitely be people who are not afraid of death to give it a go and encourage ignorant people to do things.

This kind of thing may not shake the foundation of Wu Changqing, but it is very disgusting.

In order to solve this problem, Wu Changqing used the People's Daily to carry private goods a long time ago, constantly guiding public opinion, and subtly changing the minds of the people and seeking their support.

For example, they constantly promoted the power of Wu Jun and constantly exposed the corruption of the Ming Army.

Comparing Wu Jun and Ming Jun in an all-round way, Ming Jun is naturally inferior to Wu Jun. This made the people extremely disappointed in the imperial army and placed all their hopes on Wu Jun.

Before they knew it, the people didn't confuse Wu Jun and Ming Jun in their hearts, and subconsciously felt that they were two armies, thus ignoring that Wu Jun was actually one of the many Ming troops.

In addition, Minbao also exposed the corruption in the Ming dynasty.

In short, it is to make the people hate the imperial court in Ming Dynasty.

In the past, these propaganda were still relatively subtle and obscure, not too explicit. And now, after deciding to formally rebel and proclaim the emperor, they speeded up the guidance of this kind of public opinion.

The content of Minbao is getting more and more explosive.

Some people have directly and openly criticized several emperors of the Ming Dynasty, such as criticizing Chongzhen's inaction, accusing Zhu Yihai and Zhu Yujian of nasty, exposing that the two of them ignored the Qing army to fight for the throne and went south.

It also exposes the struggle between Emperor Hongguang and the Donglin Party during the time of Emperor Hongguang.

These black materials came one after another, and the masses of people understood why the extremely powerful Ming Dynasty would not be left behind by the Manchu Tatar. All co-authoring was due to internal fighting.

Naturally, no one likes such a court.

A certain washer, the storyteller is reading the newspaper again.

Most of the people who came to listen were illiterate people or poor people who couldn't afford newspapers.

Nowadays, living conditions are better, the people have more spare time, and they also have spiritual needs.

They definitely can't afford to go to brothels and brothels.

Listening to the free newspaper reading is their greatest pleasure.

"It is said that King Fu is going to ascend the throne and proclaim the emperor, but the people of the Donglin Party disagree. Why is this? It must start from the time of Emperor Wanli.

Emperor Wanli originally wanted Fu Wang, the second prince, to take over the throne, but the members of the Donglin Party refused to do it and insisted on supporting the prince.

When King Xiaofu was about to ascend to the throne, the Donglin Party members were afraid that King Xiaofu would settle the old accounts with them when he became the emperor, which naturally hindered him in every possible way. However, with the support of others, King Xiaofu became the emperor.

At this time, the Donglin Party members suffered and were constantly retaliated against, so they made a false prince rumor, which made Zuo Liangyu's 200,000 army abandon the resistance to Tatar and came to attack Nanjing.

These absurd things caused the Qing army to go all the way south without encountering any resistance. Had it not been for Wu Guogong to stand up in times of crisis and rescue the people from fire and water, we would all become slaves under Tartar at this time..."

On the surface, this storyteller is just a storyteller, but secretly he also works for the government and receives the government's salary.

And what he said was naturally processed by the government.

After hearing the storyteller tell these secret histories, other people suddenly realized it, and they listened with gusto.

It turns out that the former Daming was not unable to beat Tartar, but his mother was busy fighting inwardly.

These articles are for ordinary people.

There is also an article that counts the number of descendants of Zhu Yuanzhang, and rigorously uses the data to discuss how the Zhu family clan brought down the Ming Dynasty.

This article is for those officials.

According to statistics, before Li Zicheng set up his army, the number of registered royal family kin was as high as 200,000, and the number of unregistered family members reached nearly one million.

Those who have registered do not need to work, and can receive a large amount of offerings for free every year.

This offering was a great financial burden of the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, these clan houses were also entrusted with a large amount of land.

Among them, Fuwang, Ruiwang, Guiwang and other important kings, each has hundreds of thousands of acres of fertile land. The other kings who are a little bit more distant, each family has tens of thousands of mu of fertile land.

The entire fertile fields in Shanxi belonged to the clan, and half of the land in Henan was also annexed by the clan.

All of these were not taxed, resulting in extremely low taxes in the Ming Dynasty.

These rice worms were a heavy burden on the Ming Dynasty, and any official or minister would be dissatisfied with it.

However, as long as the old Zhu family continues to be emperor, this system cannot be changed.

But now, if you change someone to become the emperor, those fields and property will definitely have to be confiscated and then redistributed.

To whom?

Those officials believe that with their own means, they will surely be able to get the biggest piece of cake in this distribution.

Based on this alone, they have no reason not to support Wu Changqing.

If you don't support Wu Changqing and continue to watch the rice worms in Old Zhu's family enjoy preferential treatment, it would be too bad. Supporting Wu Changqing, those lands have a share of their own, so cool and crooked.

As for whether Wu Changqing will repeat the same mistakes in the future, they will not worry at all about granting rewards to his descendants like Zhu Yuanzhang.

Wu Changqing now has too few relatives, just a younger brother. Two clan uncles, a few cousins, and the rest are distant relatives.

They want to expand to 200,000, at least three to four hundred years.

For those of the official class, Wu Changqing is much better to be emperor than Zhu's emperor. There is one more opportunity for wealth redistribution, so why not do it.

These officials are smart people, and it's useless to talk to them about ideals. Only by using naked interests can they be tempted.
