"It's too much to bully others, it's too much to bully others!" Lin Juemin slammed a newspaper with colored pages on the table and said to Huang Xing with a calm face, "Sir, look at them, how could they insult us like this?

Such an insult to Mr. Sun! It’s nonsense, it’s nonsense!”

"Oh." Huang Xing glanced at the newspaper on the table and nodded lightly, "I've already read it. Okay, don't be angry. Actually, we can't blame them entirely for this matter. It's actually us.

They attacked first, and they counterattacked later. It was originally a battle of wills. As for what the newspapers said, there is no need to pay too much attention to it. Just be patient and it will pass."

Why Huang Xing said that, we have to start from the beginning.

At the beginning, Huang Xing wasted his elder brother's efforts and asked Li Zhigao to recognize the provisional treaty and the provisional government at the cost of giving up most of his power, in order to ensure that there would be no split. Li Zhigao had already been persuaded by him, and the two sides also agreed three days later.

verbally agreed to the cooperation intention

, that is, the Tongmenghui surrendered all rights, and Tongmenghui members joined Li Zhigao's new government in their own name. However, in the final analysis, Huang Xing was just a negotiator, not the final say. When all these drafts were sent to Sun Wen,

At that time, everything was beaten back.

In other words, Sun Wen disagreed.

In the cooperation draft, Li Zhigao requested that in the new cooperation plan, everything should be led by Li Zhigao and their Liberation Party, including government personnel appointments, etc., which would have the final say, while military and supervisory powers could only be left to

Members of the Restoration Party were in control, and, most importantly,

If Li Zhigao is to be elected president, the enlarged Senate election meeting must be reconvened to re-formulate a Republic of China law that is more beneficial to Li Zhigao's group. In the law, the leadership of the Restoration Party and other matters will be restored in the name of law.

The powers are determined.

It is conceivable that once these conditions are agreed, especially if Li Zhigao takes the lead and convenes a new enlarged meeting for election of the Senate to determine the leadership status of the Restoration Party in a legal situation, other parties will not be able to interfere in the military and supervisory powers.

They can only participate in administrative management. They are also unimportant departments such as health and epidemic prevention. They only have the right to make suggestions for the implementation of government policies, which means they have no substantive power.

Once the Tongmenghui agrees to this draft, the hope of the Tongmenghui and others to compete for power within the government will be very slim. In the end, the Restoration Party will gradually attract elites from other parties by virtue of their advantage in controlling the government and a large number of resources. More and more.

It will grow stronger. And other parties will become weaker and weaker. After all, why do so many people want to join a party? Don't they just want to be an official and want to gain benefits? Now that the alliance is not working, those unsteady elements will naturally change their minds.

Obviously, Sun Wen would not agree to this situation, so he categorically rejected the draft agreement and issued his own conditions, which were basically the opposite of Li Zhigao's conditions.

It only promised to give Li Zhigao the position of president, but asked the Jiangnan government to relax all restrictions, require all political parties to participate in political affairs together, abolish the press censorship system, and not impose restrictions on other parties, and no new temporary conventions should be held.

Everything is subject to the original temporary agreement.

The differences between the two sides were very big, and in the end it was nothing. Li Zhigao continued to play cold treatment, that is, to ignore it. However, this time, people from the Tongmenghui were jumping up and down under the guidance of Sun Wen, and they were covering up the Restoration Party in newspapers everywhere.

and Li Zhigao.

Since there is a strict press censorship system within Li Zhigao's jurisdiction, they cannot sell newspapers publicly, so they use the method of distributing free pamphlets, which are brought into Nanjing, Hangzhou, Shanghai and other places and distributed widely. Moreover, Li Zhigao in other places

In areas where it has not yet been mastered, similar newspapers are everywhere.

That's all. After all, people who can read newspapers in this era are all elites, and these people are not fools. They can be fooled by you. The achievements of Li Zhigao and the Restoration Party are really there, especially the Taiping

The miracles of the government have also been reported in the West, so it is difficult to get a glimpse of them as a whole in terms of policies and management levels.

However, since it is to cover up the dark side, then it is necessary to use all possible means. Since it cannot be done in a big way, it is better to attack individual people in a small way, especially by writing about some sexy scandals that everyone likes to hear about. The effect will be different.

As a result, the Tongmenghui began to cross the line and began to attack Li Zhigao himself, mainly saying how corrupt his life style was, how he hired female soldiers and bodyguards, how greedy he was, etc. In short, he described Li Zhigao as a moral **

A lecherous villain and hypocrite, a thief who sneaked into the revolutionary ranks!

This angered Li Zhigao, so he also started to fight back, and because he had more resources, the force of the fight back was even greater.

First of all, Li Zhigao strengthened the press censorship system in the territory, sending a large number of police officers everywhere to search for pamphlets brought by various alliances and others. Once discovered, they would be confiscated immediately. Those who hid these pamphlets privately would be charged with spreading rumors and fined heavily.

Those who cannot pay the fine will be arrested and imprisoned. Those who spread pamphlets will be directly arrested for disturbing public order, and the amount of rewards for whistleblowers will be increased to encourage the public to report.

Secondly, they counterattacked in their own newspapers and magazines. To put it simply, they first listed how the Taiping Mansion had changed its appearance under the leadership of Li Zhigao, and made a vertical and horizontal comparison of the people's current life, highlighting Li Zhigao's

The glorious image of Zhigao tells everyone that without Li Zhigao, there would be no good life today. We should continue to support Li Zhigao and resolutely oppose all opposition and counter-revolutionary lackeys who want to subvert everything.

After saying this, I started to infiltrate those people in the Alliance, especially Sun Wen and others. This aspect is quite easy to handle. After all, Sun Wen and others have poor personal ethics. They just want to play with young girls and so on.

Secretly embezzling donations from others, and accepting donations from Japan

When people make donations, they are worth a thousand words. It is much easier to stay in the dark than the usually low-key Li Zhigao. After all, because Li Zhigao is usually very mysterious, you can only guess about his personal ethics without real evidence. But those of the Tongmenghui

Whatever a person's virtues are, they are all well-documented.

In the beginning, the infiltration of the Alliance was within the scope of well-documented evidence and was a relatively restrained counterattack. However, there is always a shortage of people in this world who can adapt to the changing circumstances. When everyone saw that the Alliance was falling more and more behind,

, so many people began to write articles and publish them in "Xinhua Daily" and "Taiping News". The things written by these unofficial editors were even more unsightly, but because of the smuggling alliance, almost all of them could be published in newspapers.

.Let everyone watch it openly.

Moreover, because these two newspapers are officially supported, they have too many advantages in terms of equipment and cost. If nothing else, the color pages of the newspapers cannot be imitated by others. In this era, let alone

In China, and even abroad, there are no color-page newspapers. Such a new thing is not expensive, and it is even cheaper than other newspapers. It also contains a lot of daily life knowledge, long serial novels, etc. Everyone likes to read it.

The content is not very popular?

At the same time, such a large-scale propaganda, in the eyes of many ordinary people, is just taking sides. Coupled with the continuous local literacy education in Taiping Prefecture for a long time, the illiteracy rate of ordinary people has been greatly reduced, so they did not read newspapers in the first place.

People have also learned to read newspapers, after all

Reading and talking about newspapers at this time is a representative of civilization and progress, and a manifestation of supporting the government and Li Zhigao. If you can casually say a few slogans and explanations in the newspapers, you can appear to be well-educated among relatives and friends.

He appears superior to outsiders.

In short, the Tongmenghui's move, under Li Zhigao's strong counterattack, was a waste of money. The Tongmenghui's pitiful pamphlets were soon submerged in the vast sea of ​​propaganda agencies of the Jiangnan military government.

Goebbels said that a lie told a thousand times becomes the truth. This is the so-called Goebbels effect. Therefore, after the propaganda agencies of the Jiangnan military government fully launched their efforts, first of all, the uneducated common people believed it and became fanatical.

Then, other relatively calm elite knowledge

Elements also began to waver and follow the trend. Gradually, when everyone in the Jiangnan military government spoke with the same voice, everyone only believed in the official mouthpiece of the government. Their perception of the Tongmenghui became worse and worse, to the point where

It's extremely annoying.

At the same time, the Jiangnan Military Government's propaganda offensive has also affected other places. After all, the Jiangnan Military Government has never been a closed area. On the contrary, it is a place with a very strong business atmosphere. Therefore, with the flow of people, these people in the Jiangnan area

The newspapers published were also carried to other places, and their

Because of these comments in newspapers, local governors began to feel disgusted with the clown-like Tongmenghui and others. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the governors of various places hated the Tongmenghui and did not dare to oppose Li Zhigao's brilliant works, so they condoned these slaves.

Newspapers flowing out of the Gangnam region were circulated within their own territory.

In short, this propaganda attack by the Tongmenghui was originally intended to use public opinion to attack Li Zhigao, thereby reducing Li Zhigao's personal authority and gradually alienating the group centered on Li Zhigao, so as to facilitate the infiltration of people from the Tongmenghui. Who knows the result?

It was counterproductive, allowing Li Zhigao to seize this opportunity to

The attack by public opinion this time was an opportunity to strengthen the supervision of public opinion in the territory and exercise the administrative execution ability of the Jiangnan government. While the entire Jiangnan area collectively hated the Tongmenghui, a wave of personality worship of Li Zhigao also arose. On the contrary,

Let Li Zhigao's authority become higher and higher, and his position become more and more consolidated.

If other places were still slightly restrained, then in Taiping Mansion, Li Zhigao's hometown, the whole city was in a carnival, and many students actually held spontaneous demonstrations to firmly support Li Zhigao and oppose the slander and slander of the Tongmenghui.

All this was seen by Huang Xing and his party who still had not left Taiping Mansion. Huang Xing and others were somewhat restrained, but Lin Juemin, a young man with a strong temper and who had identified Sun Wen as the leader, was different.

, they felt that they were deeply insulted, so they tried to argue with Li Zhigao several times, but were suppressed by Huang Xing.

But this time, Lin Juemin obviously felt that he didn't want to endure it any longer.

With a "snap", Lin Juemin smacked the table again and said bitterly, "How long will I have to endure it? Are we going to let them slander people like this? Sir, don't go and take a look. Everyone is outside.

What are you talking about? They all think that the people in the Tongmenghui are despicable people, and that the Tongmenghui is a place where filth hides evil and evil. Those words, I, I... can't do it. I'll ask him, Li Zhigao, to talk about it. I want to take a look.

Is he really so indifferent to right from wrong and unreasonable?"

After saying that, Lin Juemin turned around and wanted to leave the room immediately.

"Stop!" Seeing that the other party was really about to leave, Huang Xing also slapped the table, "Lin Juemin, stop! Do you still have organizational discipline? Are you not listening to my words?"

"I, I..." Lin Juemin stopped involuntarily, turned his head and looked aggrieved, and suddenly roared, "Why, why don't you let me go!"

"Why? Because it's useless if you go. It's hard to say whether you can even see Li Zhigao." Huang Xing's face was gloomy. "And even if you do see Li Zhigao, it depends on your temper and Li Zhigao's temperament.

It’s hard to say whether you can come back alive or not!”

"I'm not afraid!" Lin Juemin curled his lips, "If he really dares to kill me, then he has a guilty conscience, which just exposes his hypocrisy to the public. I just want everyone to see how hypocritical Li Zhigao is.

!If the true face of Li Zhigao can really be exposed, what do I have to fear if I die alone!"

"Confused!" Huang Xing shook his head, "Do you think this is still the Qing Dynasty? If you really die, let alone exposing Li Zhigao's true face, you may be charged with attempted assassination and conspiracy, and your reputation will be ruined.

, but also implicates our Alliance! Hey, haven’t you understood? Li Zhigao’s reputation here is unparalleled. He has mastered the army and the government.

The government has also taken control of the propaganda agency. The people's clothing, food, housing and transportation here are closely related to Li Zhigao, and Li Zhigao has done a pretty good job, allowing many people to live a much better life than before, so everyone supports him and loves him. Therefore

In this case, no matter what you say, as long as you speak ill of Li Zhigao, they will not listen, and they will instinctively think that you are slandering, do you understand!"

"Foolish people!" Lin Juemin gritted his teeth, "Foolish people who don't care about national justice and don't talk about right and wrong just for receiving a small favor!"

"Fool? You really have the nerve to say that!" Yin Ruizhi, who was standing at the door of the room, walked into the room with a cold face, and then walked all the way to Lin Juemin. When no one else could react, he slapped him

Lin Juemin has three big mouths.

"You, you!" Lin Juemin, who subconsciously covered his face and took two steps back, first looked blankly at Yin Ruizhi who had just come in, and then became furious, "You hit me?"

"Yes, I'm going to hit you." Yin Ruizhi raised his chin and looked at Lin Juemin with contempt, "What, you're not convinced? If you're not convinced, you can come over and find your place. Don't look at me as a woman. Believe it or not.

Will I let you lie down within one round?"

"Bastard!" Lin Juemin's face turned red and he was about to rush forward, but was quickly stopped by his cousin Lin Changmin.

"Let me go, let me go, I'm going to teach this shameless stinky woman a lesson!"
