"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers! The imperial army broke into two cities in Luzon and killed all the Castilians. In this battle, our army gained about 20 million taels of silver as spoils, occupying tens of thousands of acres in Luzon.
Fertile land with three crops a year!!!”
"Selling newspapers, selling newspapers~"
Shenjing City, early morning.
The newsboys in the streets and alleys once again began to sell the latest issue of "Daqing News". After these few months, the city of Shenjing has spread from officials, gentry, rich and idle people to people from all walks of life, especially those merchants.
In addition to paying attention to the official imperial newspaper, they also bought a copy of "Daqing News".
Especially for lower-status people like merchants, they always lag behind in obtaining information from Di newspapers. However, it is different with "Daqing News". You can buy timely information for five big bucks, which is a big deal.
There is no such thing as a good deal.
And gradually, people are becoming more and more optimistic about the credibility of "Daqing News", because for several months, all the incidents mentioned above have been accurate and inaccurate.
The credibility of "Daqing News" gradually increased, and its sales naturally increased significantly. Even advertisements began to appear in the blank gap in the middle fold of the newspaper.
Sure enough, no matter which world they are in, flower growers will always be among the people with the sharpest sense of smell!
Of course, the emergence of a new thing will inevitably affect and hinder the existing interests of some people, and it will definitely not be welcomed by everyone. There will always be some people who are hostile to it.
What's more, "Daqing News" almost clearly stood on the side of the New Deal. Although the newspaper also published many articles opposing the New Deal, it seemed to be fair and just.
However, all these articles opposing the New Deal were completely criticized by the literati who supported the New Deal, led by the two great literary giants "Zhou Shuren" and "Youwei". It was too horrible to look at!
Some people even vomited blood because of the irony...
If you don't win an argument, you can't beat someone based on what's written in the newspaper. That's the skill of the great Confucians.
But this can’t be our own fault, it must be the referee’s fault!
The editors of "Daqing News" must have screened out all our good articles and published some articles by our second-rate literati, which resulted in the current situation.
When such fig leaf-like ideas and remarks became popular because of some people's unwillingness to fail, "Daqing News" naturally severely offended most of the gentry class in the world.
It is said that similar newspapers such as "Jinling Times" and "Southland News" have appeared in Jinling and other places in the south. They clearly want to grab business and strengthen their information position.
It's just that the printing and paper technology of these newspapers seems to have not yet been developed. Dibao and Dibao generally only publish one issue every half month, while "Daqing News" has published three editions at the same time, which is simply different.
The explosive news in this issue of "Daqing News" quickly attracted the attention of people in the streets and alleys with the sound of the young voices of the newsboys.
Guests in teahouses and restaurants continued to buy newspapers from the cheerful newsboys on the street, either personally or through their servants.
"Twenty million taels of silver...tens of thousands of acres of fertile land with three crops a year...are all real?"
"Yes! How could those barbaric places overseas be so wealthy? Doesn't that mean..."
"..."
"It's a wild land. I didn't read it in the newspapers. It's a big lie that has been propagated and blocked for hundreds of years by those southern families who have made a lot of money every year and want to exclusively enjoy these huge profits forever!"
"
"How...how can these people be like this? It's really an insult to politeness. It's in vain that I, Mr. Yuan, had such admiration for those families in the past."
"That's all, Brother Yuan, be careful of misfortune coming from your mouth, but I think the court's current actions are definitely to break the monopoly of those few companies. We are very weak, so let's take a look first!"
"..."
"Look, that old Western knight is really vulnerable to our army! Well, he killed well!"
"That's right, this barbarian actually dared to kill me, a descendant of China, several times in more than a hundred years. It's true that both humans and gods are outraged, so we should retaliate with tooth for tooth and blood for blood! I am so powerful in Daqing!!!"
"Haha~ I heard that when General Wuwei sent people to Jiangnan Camp and Yunnan-Guizhou border towns to select soldiers for the Nanyang Army, many soldiers there were afraid that they would be selected. Now, these people are just afraid of their intestines.
I’m all regretting my youth.”
"Yes, the newspapers clearly stated that at least 20% of the 20 million taels of silver will be distributed to the 20,000 soldiers participating in the war. 20% is nearly 4 million taels of silver! Even a big soldier will not get a hundred.
Eighty taels, and if you are willing to settle there in the future, you will be directly given a hundred acres of fertile land.
Even if you don’t want to settle down, having these hundred and eighty taels of money in your hands will take some risks, but isn’t it much better than working for ten years?”
"Old Suntou, you haven't heard what Liu Xiucai said about the military section just now. These soldiers are really lucky this time. They have only been wandering at sea for more than a month to be able to pick up someone like this behind those adults.
A big leak, what kind of risk is there? I really envy me waiting for it!
I had known this..."
…
"Who would have thought that these Western barbarians would be so vulnerable. Their cannons are so powerful, but they didn't expect that they would have such a huge weakness."
This is the information specially published in the military section of "Daqing News" specially opened for the battle of Manila Port and Manila City, in order to improve the morale of everyone in the Daqing Dynasty.
Anyway, in the battle of Manila City, the "military observers" from the Western countries who followed the Nanyang Army will definitely record the whole story in detail. Since they have already found out the general situation of the battle, it doesn't matter to their own people here.
Confidentiality is no longer confidential.
This time, for the first time in history, the military section also specially depicts a small picture, which shows the range and route of Western artillery shells, as well as the general offensive ideas of Daqing's "Human Bomber Brigade" composed of legendary warriors, innate masters and pseudo innates.
.
There is also a detailed article at the bottom of the section describing the entire process of this battle, expounding in great detail the respective advantages and disadvantages of both the enemy and ourselves, as well as the course of this battle.
Daqing's high-ranking generals had never seen such novel and detailed battle reports before ordinary civil servants and the general public.
Everyone was extremely interested in this. As the envy and jealousy towards those sergeants who had easily gained a wave of credit and were about to receive large rewards cooled down, people analyzed new things from this.
"Everyone, I wonder if you have noticed that these Western barbarians don't seem to have strong men at the level of quasi-innate?"
The title "Pseudo Innate" is a bit disrespectful to these powerful warriors. After all, strong men of this level are generally the elders of major families, or the gang leaders and supreme elders of major Jianghu sects. They are no longer considered weak.
, so in formal occasions people usually call them "quasi-innate" or simply "innate strong ones".
"Yes, although it may be a little disrespectful, the key to this battle should be that our army has two innate figures and more than 300 quasi-innate experts.
After all, according to this battle report, the Castilians have more than ten innate barbarians stationed in the two territories of Manila Port and Manila City."
"Hehe~ Haven't you ever thought about why only the martial arts system has the quasi-innate level, while other gods, books, and Buddhism don't seem to have this statement?
I’m afraid this is the reason why the martial arts system is the most widely spread and has the most people practicing it!”
"So, it is not unreasonable for all forces to suppress warriors during the heyday of dynasties~"
"Hey, there is some truth in what Brother Hua said, but it is not appropriate to go into it. Now it seems that this quasi-innate level of power is not a huge advantage for Daqing against the Western countries?
Next, the imperial court will probably restrict the spread of martial arts."
"If you ask me to put some restrictions on it, there will always be traitors and scum in every dynasty who will defect to the enemy and betray the country."
"I think you don't need to worry too much. Those Western barbarians have learned and used their own bird language since childhood. Just give them a martial arts secret book. Which one does he recognize as the Du Vein? Which one is the Ren Vein?
Do you know which one is Tanzhong point? Which one is Laogong point?
Even if there are scum traitors who are willing to teach them carefully, those barbarians are all blond and white-skinned. Can their meridians and qualifications be the same as ours?
I see that it is extremely difficult for some Western barbarians to learn the martial arts techniques created by our sages of the past generations."
"That makes sense..."
As such comments fermented, many powerful and powerful families began to pay more attention to martial arts. Even if our family cannot produce an innate master, it is okay to have a few more pseudo-innate masters!
When the time comes, we can unite and form a group of dozens or hundreds of pseudo-innate experts. As an aerial bombing brigade, we can also go to the foreigners' territory to gain some benefits.
No matter how bad it is, this is also a great shortcut to quickly accumulate family heritage.
In fact, in the past, people's mentality also valued pseudo-innate experts, but their status was far inferior to that of innate masters.
Because just one Xiantian Grandmaster requires nearly ten pseudo-Xiantian warriors to repel and defeat less than three pseudo-Xiantian warriors, and they cannot even protect themselves in front of the Xiantian Grandmaster.
But judging from this Battle of Manila City, when the number of pseudo-innate warriors is large enough, they can also produce qualitative changes, and even become a powerful force that dominates the battlefield.
After all, the qualification requirements for Xiantian Grandmasters and even those legendary figures above Xiantian are too stringent.
Even the powerful Xiantian Grandmasters in the entire Daqing Dynasty only have only three to four hundred people. You must know that after more than a hundred years of recuperation, Daqing's population has exceeded tens of millions!
This ratio is already pitifully low, but the pseudo-innate strong ones are still barely able to be mass-produced.
Whether it is a spiritual elixir refined by consuming various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, or a canister forced by an innate master whose lifespan is approaching, they can all be manufactured artificially in multiples!
It's just that the warriors from the truly powerful families didn't pay too much attention to these levels before, but now, the number of quasi-innate experts in Daqing is likely to explode...
…
Thanks to Mr. Qi Fengyun for the five hundred rewards. I am so grateful that I will update twice today.
