271 Full of gimmicks(1/2)

This Taoist appeal has a very resounding name. It is called "An Appeal to the People of the World to Fight against the Thief of Xu". The person who wrote this appeal is none other than Chang Sui Ning.

As soon as this proclamation came out, it spread throughout the Jiangnan provinces in just five or six days. People rushed to read it and discussed it very loudly.

At first, Xu Zhengye didn't take it seriously. After he asked Luo Guanlin to write the widely circulated "Advocate for the Empress of the Ming Dynasty", the court and other places responded by writing messages against him, but they did not arouse

Too big a splash.

There is a precedent for this. Xu Zhengye, who was so busy with his affairs, didn't even bother to pay attention to see it in person.

It was not until a few days later that he clearly noticed that the impact of this statement was different from the previous one. Regardless of the popular trend, even the wealthy noble family bureaucrats who supported him repeatedly sent people to come or wrote letters to question him.

Only then did Xu Zhengye have to face the matter squarely, and asked someone to take the letter and come to see it for himself.

The message in his hand was obviously printed, but it also retained the original handwriting of the person who wrote it.

His handwriting is sparse and broad, yet upright and steep, which shows one-third of his strength of character and seven-fold of his military spirit. Once read and read, with hundreds of words spread eloquently, the pen has the potential to sweep away thousands of armies.

This handwriting is very good and rare.

Xu Zhengye was originally from a noble family, and he was talented in calligraphy and painting. Naturally, he could tell the quality of this calligraphy at a glance.

This word alone is enough to attract attention.

What's more, there are those extremely arrogant words "on behalf of the people of the world"!

"...On behalf of the people of the world?" A staff member under Xu Zhengye said angrily: "Young lady, you can have such an arrogant tone!"

Why should she represent the world!

Who allowed her to represent the world?

Luo Guanlin remained silent and his expression was not optimistic.

The word "propaganda" captured people's hearts and influenced public opinion. As for whether the wording was true or false, whether it was "reasonable" or not... it could not change the fact that the purpose she wanted had been achieved.

The reason why this appeal spread so quickly and caused a sensation is no accident.

He looked at the piece of paper in Xu Zhengye's hand and frowned for a moment.

This statement is very skillful, every word and every sentence is like a weapon that hurts the enemy, and they are all aimed at the key point. The person who wrote this statement is very smart and put a lot of thought into it... and he is also a literati who is proficient in this art.

It can be noticed that when the other party wrote this message, he must have been able to predict that it would cause a sensation once it was circulated.

If it hadn't been written by a capable ghostwriter, then this girl from the Chang family who suddenly appeared...should not be underestimated.

The more Xu Zhengye looked down, the uglier his face became.

Chang Sui Ning, as the "initiator", can easily imagine Xu Zhengye's face at this time.

She had wanted to imitate Luo Guanlin a long time ago and write an equally outstanding slogan.

To this end, she did a lot of homework and preparations, including but not limited to careful analysis of the failures of previous crusade against Xu Zhengye.

After careful research, she came to the conclusion that most of these appeals were too conventional and the same, and they could be used directly by replacing the three characters of Xu Zhengye, the target of the crusade, with another person's name at will.

Or it was too boring and redundant, failing to arouse her emotions, but instead made her sleepy.

With her eagerness to learn and study, she yawned endlessly, let alone other unrelated people.

After summarizing, Chang Suining came to the conclusion that in this troubled world where slogans are everywhere, if you want to write a good and popular slogan, the first thing is to use the word gimmick.

That's why she dared to "represent the world".

She represents the people of the world, who is not a person of the world? Just hearing this name, no matter whether they are curious or criticizing, they all want to come and have a look. In this way, the audience will be trapped in the net first

.

Having a good gimmick and attracting people in is only the first step.

Next, you need to say something meaningful and have solid and eye-catching content.

Therefore, Chang Suining found hundreds of Jiangnan people with different status and circumstances, including officials, wealthy gentry, merchants and hawkers, hungry refugees and literati, and used Xu Zhengye in their mouths as a reference.

Aren't they the "people of the world" who have personally witnessed Xu Zhengye's "recovery action"?

This article, "An Message to the People of the World Against the Thief of Xu", is still being circulated rapidly everywhere, and even spread to the south of the Yangtze River.

It said, [Wherever Xu Zhengye went, the people were in dire straits. Due to forced conquest and looting, there was what Luo Guanlin said: "the accumulation of warehouses is exhausted." Under the ambition and great cause, the bones accumulated are all innocent people.]

[How can these thieves, who are cruel and unkind, kill innocent people indiscriminately, take human life lightly, steal from the people, and steal from the country, be worthy of mentioning the words "restoring the right path"? ]

Xu Zhengye’s crimes were also detailed. Although they were slightly exaggerated, they were all based on facts.

In a few hundred words, a shameless villain with insidious methods, inconsistent behavior and ambitious ambitions can be seen on the page.

The final words are even more provocative, claiming that Xu Zhengye told a huge lie, and that his desire for recovery is false, but that he deceived the world is true.

And listed many evidences, including "Xu Zhengye gathered troops to defend Jiangning in Yangzhou because it was rumored that there was a kingly spirit in Jinling, Jiangdu, and he wanted to establish himself as king in Jiangdu. His ambition was obvious, and everyone wanted to kill him."

Then provoke them... no, appeal, appeal to those who are traveling with Xu Zhengye, to wake up in time, it is not too late to turn back. If you insist on walking with the thief and are willing to be used by the thief, you will bring about your own destruction.

At that time, Chang Suining had written this, but still felt that something more gimmick was missing to end it.

After thinking hard, a scholar surnamed Lu reminded him: "...we should take the opportunity to strengthen Mrs. Chang's name to win people's hearts."

Chang Suining thought and blinked: "How to grow stronger?"

Naturally, he is boasting.

But I always feel a little embarrassed when I praise myself, so I naturally accept the opinions of others.

The scholar surnamed Lu clasped his hands and said: "Since you are the representative of the people of the world, you should obey the words of the people of the world - who doesn't know that Mrs. Chang is the reincarnation of the star?"

"..." The other literati who were found together all looked at him, taking the opportunity to flatter him, right?

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! This is simply detrimental to the pride of readers!

But looking at the majestic young girl with an immeasurable future, I also thought of the other party's courtesy and respect... and more importantly, the other party also praised them as pillars of talent!

Why.

How can...how can one of his companions bear this behavior that undermines the pride of a scholar?

As a result, several more literati stepped forward to supplement it.

"You should also borrow the words of destiny!"

"What is given by destiny is the clear and righteous path in the world!"

"..."

Chang Sui Ning responded with a straight face: "Although I am ashamed to accept this, in this life-and-death situation, I will listen to the wise opinions of you gentlemen."

All the literati immediately straightened their backs—she called them sir!

Therefore, Chang Sui Ning took up his pen and wrote down a very arrogant and outrageous sentence as the end of this statement.

[Although I am not talented, I am fortunate to have received the destiny from heaven. I have been instructed by the Immortal to save the world. I will behead the Xu thief within seventy-three days to inform the world.]

This sentence is extremely outrageous, but it has to be said that it has a fatal appeal.

The gimmick in this sentence is really dense, and it involves the mystical theory of immortals. It is difficult for anyone from an eighty-year-old man to a three-year-old child not to be attracted by it. The audience is very wide, and it is easy to spread in various forms on the streets and alleys.

Come.

In fact, when the dogs passing by heard this, they would tilt their heads and think about it.

For example, where did the savior immortal come from for guidance? Could it be that Jiang Xing was really reincarnated?

Why was Xu Zhengye killed within seventy-three days? What does seventy-three days mean?

"Grandpa...I heard that Xu Zhengye only has seventy-three days to live. Is it true?"

Among a group of homeless people, a girl with a sallow complexion opened her big clean eyes and asked the old man next to her.

The child does not yet have a clear understanding of good and evil, but she knows that on the day when the rebels broke into Jiangning City, her beautiful mother-in-law was taken away by the rebels. Her father was killed in order to save her mother-in-law.

After being hacked to death, her grandfather handed over all his belongings, knelt down and kowtowed to those people until his head was broken, and then he rescued her.

From then on, her home was gone.

On the way to escape, she gradually learned that the rebels were working for a general named Xu Zhengye, but that general was not the general who saved people as the storyteller said, but the general who killed people.

She wanted the murderous general to die quickly.

When the old man heard this, he covered the girl's mouth in fear: "...Don't talk nonsense!"

"You're wrong!" A boy in his teens came up next to him and shouted loudly, clenching his fists: "It's the sixty-fifth, eight days have passed!"

There were no adults around him, no one could control him, and other refugees also started whispering when they heard this.

General Ning Yuan threatened to kill the Xu thief on the 73rd day, and they had already heard about it.

If ordinary people say this, they are destined to be ignored and ignored. However, General Ningyuan, who was born as a daughter, has repeatedly performed extraordinary feats and gained a reputation far and wide, which itself is covered with many magical colors.

Strange things that ordinary people can't do, but strange people may not be able to do!

Since the empress ascended the throne, Taoist temples and Buddhist temples have been built in various places in Dasheng, and people have followed them to worship. When it comes to mysterious theories about ghosts and gods, they generally "prefer to believe that they exist".

Some people began to preach this matter with confidence, some were doubtful, and some scorned it, but this did not hinder them. They all began to silently count the arrival of that day in their hearts.

Whether it is true or not, we will finally know after sixty-five days.

At this time, an old monk with patches on his robes passed by the group of refugees and sighed and recited "Amitabha".
