Li Gou'er's eyes moved down a little.
In this newspaper, comments also occupy half of the page. What he just read was just the beginning, and there is a big passage below:
"Beihu is like a bad neighbor. Although both sides have times of harmony, they always run to your home from time to time to set fire and kill people. If they are really neighbors, they can't move away at the worst and can't afford to hide. However, the country cannot be moved around, and we must face Beihu directly and have no choice.
The tragedy in Linzhou sounded the alarm for everyone. All along, only the border people in the north were attacked by the Northern Hu people. They lived on the border line for generations. Once the Hu people went south, they would have to live in dire straits and might even have their lives.
Linzhou was only attacked by the Beihu people decades ago. After a long period of singing and dancing, no one would have thought that one day the wolf would really come.
Linzhou is the one who suffered this time, so what about next time?
After the tragedy, the whole country was shocked. Some people vented their anger on the Beihu people in Darui. In just a few days, several beatings of Beihu merchants were reported everywhere.
Not to mention Tureha as an example, there are many Beihu merchants in Linzhou. They invested and participated in the reconstruction of Linzhou, and some even adopted orphans who lost their parents.
Not every Beihu people are bad people. As long as they do not violate the laws of the Darui Dynasty and do not give them detailed works, they should be treated equally and kindly.
Revenge must be avenged. The soldiers and civilians in Linzhou who died were all watching us in heaven; but now is not the time.
War requires money, food and manpower. The court is sympathetic to the people and is unwilling to act rashly.
Last year, the people of Beihu encountered a severe drought in Hedong. It was precisely because of the opportunity that the people in the North Hu were striking the border. Their intention to take advantage of the danger is not uncommon. They can no longer give them the opportunity to take advantage of the situation and cause more people to suffer.
Your Majesty is a wise and heroic lord, and there are many officials in the court; there are many good generals in the army everywhere, and the soldiers will use their lives. In the future, with just one order, they will pay the blood debt of Linzhou from the people of Northern Hu.
What every ordinary person can do is to do his own thing well and contribute to the Darui Dynasty. Darui is rich in all over the world, and if the people in the world work together, they will inevitably become richer and stronger. Only in this way can the tragedy in Linzhou never happen again!
If you really feel sorry for your fellow countrymen, please respect every soldier who is loyal to you. For the peace of your family and country, many people are stationed in the bitter and cold land, and they are everywhere on the long border. They sacrifice their lives and shed their blood. In the end, they are despised as "Qiu Ba"..."
The comment was written again and it ended. There was a small block in the lower right corner of the entire newspaper, which read: "...The spy who assisted the Beihu people in breaking through Linzhou City has been caught and escorted to the capital. No matter who it is, as long as he has helped aliens kill compatriots for the tiger, he must be well aware of being torn to pieces. According to the latest news, these two scums will be executed by Lingchi, and it will be in three days..."
Li Gou'er punched the table and shouted "Okay". The table shook violently a few times, and the tea in the cup splashed outside.
Maybe he is used to reading newspapers to people, and others will be attracted by pictures, but after reading all the content, he turns his attention to pictures.
In the first picture, a mother fell weakly in the cold snow, looking at the Beihu soldiers with begging eyes. The soldier smiled grimly, and there was a swaddling cloth in his raised hands. It seemed that he was ready to throw the swaddling baby to the ground at any time.
In the second picture, a man in Beihu dress spread his arms and protected several helpless women like an eagle catching a hen in a chick. King Kong was angry and looked at the Beihu soldiers fearlessly, and his erect body even pressed towards the soldier, looking very oppressive.
In the third picture, several young men in tattered clothes and covered in wounds were fighting with the Beihu soldiers. It can be seen that they were all civilians. Some people held sticks to face the Beihu people's scimitar, some used their flesh and blood to block the bow and arrow for their companions, and some people threw the enemy to the ground, opened their mouths and bit his throat.
The characters in the picture are very dynamic and lifelike. After seeing the pictures, Li Gouer really felt like she was experiencing the scene.
People around him who were reading the newspaper also started to talk:
"Who did these pictures draw? Just like this person was in Linzhou at that time."
"The picture is very exquisite... the one who made the picture must be a master with superb skills."
"The news with pictures looks much more comfortable than before! I remember that the whole article was full of words, densely packed, just like a large group of ants..."
Li Gou'er didn't care what others said. He threw a few pennies on the table and walked away quickly with the newspaper. If possible, he really wanted to share the stories in the newspaper with neighbors as soon as possible.
Xiao Jing, who is in charge of Puhua Town, is also receiving news from different channels.
The readers' reaction was not far from what he expected. After a few months of the tragedy, people had already forgotten it, but the appearance of the mirror brought everyone's attention back to Linzhou. After all, ordinary people at most heard some details of the incident from rumors, and the detailed reports of the newspapers simply opened the door to a new world for them.
Now, people on the streets and alleys are hotly discussed by the content published in newspapers. What made Xiao Jing sighed relieved was that the things he was worried about did not appear.
These reports and comments have been revised several times, and he also quarreled with Qin Ziqian twice on the way back to revise the issue.
Finally, the published manuscripts can be said to be carefully written. Whether it is news reports or comments, they have preserved the face of the court. Not only that, the comments also praised the court's policies and helped the official to appease some restless people through detailed explanations. Simply put, the attitude of the newspaper is the same as that of the court: revenge must be avenged, but you must first accumulate strength and save enough money and food to mobilize troops!
Such a rhetoric is perfect enough that even those who are interested will find it difficult to criticize the Mirror in the name of "discussing the government's affairs".
There was a voice of doubt, but it disappeared quickly. To be precise, the person who spoke was drowned by the spitting stars of others.
Some people are as rude as ever. Even though they know that the reports in the Mirror are true, they still have to say a few words such as "unpredictable intentions" and "confusing people's hearts".
As a result, the people around him stopped doing it: What was the wrong report?
My great-minded dynasty is a brilliant person. Shouldn’t there be such a kind-hearted and righteous person?
Why, do you think the emperor is not wise, or are the ignorant and incompetent men in the court?
Saying that the massacre described in the Mirror is exaggerated, then would you send your family to Beihu soldiers to entertainment?
Mirror never wants to be a sage, but for those who are irrational and only know how to make trouble and oppose it, there is a weapon called "political correctness" that can be used to make them suffer.
