He didn't pay much attention to Cixi's posthumous title of Yang Feng for Wang Xifan. In his opinion, this kind of pure old woman's performance was of no use. In the final analysis, this world is about strength, and it would be the same even if she killed the king.
He is dead. No one would risk his life for a few hundred taels of silver a year. After all, whether fame or fortune, you have to have a life to enjoy it.
However, the facts proved that he was wrong. There were still many people who were full of admiration for this false reputation. Soon a large wave of caterpillars jumped out and began to criticize his brutal rule in various ways. Those who published articles in newspapers, in
Those who put up big-character posters on the streets, and even those who distributed leaflets, tried their best to let the old Buddha in Beijing see his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty. One guy even held a public gathering in Fuzhou City to pay homage to Wang Xifan and all the martyrs.
He also shouted that if the people were not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death? This made Yang Feng want to fulfill his wish.
He really has nothing to do with these people. He has always played the role of freedom of speech. In fact, speech at this time is indeed very free. As long as the rebellion is not openly discussed, no one will cause trouble. He dares to run a newspaper.
Most of them are related to foreigners, and many of them are directly in the concession, and the local officials are afraid to avoid them. It's just a few curse words in the newspaper, and it's not a big deal.
If Governor Yang intervened in this kind of thing, he would undoubtedly feel like he would be hurt. So after some research, he decided to also uncover those things about Chen Guzi and rotten sesame seeds, such as the Ten Days in Yangzhou, the Three Massacres in Jiading, and Guangzhou
Big tusha, Chaozhou big tusha... Anyway, there are a lot of such materials. Tomorrow Daily even opened a column once a day. Not only did it appear in the newspaper, but it also set up a high-power radio station in Fuzhou. Then it found a guy with a deep voice to be the announcer.
At the same time, tweeters were installed in all urban centers in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces and broadcast simultaneously through radios. This set of equipment is now General Electric's most profitable product. Real radio stations have begun to appear in various European countries. However, in
This is the first time China has appeared.
"Playing a public opinion war with me is really asking for death. I can dye my white skin black for you. What's more, I'm already so black!" Yang Feng said with a sneer.
"This move of yours is so cruel, the Queen Mother is so angry!" Xue Fucheng said with a smile.
"I'm trying to make her memory long. If she wants to live a stable life for a few days, it's best not to mess with me," Yang Feng said.
This product was not only broadcast in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, but also installed loudspeakers in all cities with concessions, and the contents of each issue of Tomorrow's Daily were broadcast repeatedly for an hour. This made the governors of these places have a big headache.
The effect is absolutely great. How many ordinary people can understand what the caterpillars write? Besides, how many ordinary people can afford newspapers? But this thing is different. Once the power of the broadcast is turned on, it can be heard within a few kilometers.
The common people who heard it were passed on word of mouth, and the distance was magnified countless times. In the end, some even traveled all the way to hear it. At the same time, JY Company also began to distribute a large number of small ones among the gentry.
In addition to these newspaper contents, the radio also broadcasts news, opera, and Western music. I found a few people from Beijing to talk about cross talk, and China suddenly entered the era of radio stations.
Cixi in Beijing was stunned. She never thought that Yang Feng had such a weapon. In anger, this old woman strictly ordered the governors everywhere to use strong measures to ban those illegal loudspeakers.
But these things are all in the concession, and those foreigners have no interest in offending Yang Feng for her. Whether it is diplomatic negotiation or bribery, in short, they have no right to interfere with the freedom of broadcasting.
At this time, Cixi had no choice but to order the governors of various places to supervise some residential areas close to the concession. Those who did not live there were prohibited from passing there. As for the spread of rumors that slander the imperial court outside the concession, of course the local officials would definitely not enforce this
Even the flag-registered local officials will not carry out such orders. The foreign concessions are surrounded by bustling commercial areas. It is a trivial matter to provoke civil unrest by doing this. More importantly, no one can bear the economic losses. The most is to ban it.
Tomorrow Daily circulates in the jurisdiction, and any ordinary people who dare to openly discuss these contents will be taken back to the Yamen and beaten. But these measures are certainly of little significance. In short, Yang Feng’s loudspeakers are aggravating the inaction of officials in various places.
The numerous crimes committed by the Qing troops when they entered the customs were broadcast day after day, causing uproar throughout the south.
You must know that the Qing army mainly engaged in tusha in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it has been more than two hundred years, the people still have the impression that it is now carried out on such a large scale and in such an arrogant form. The impact is huge.
At that time, anti-Manchu voices were rising in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong provinces. Even those green worms did not dare to stand out at this time. If they did at this time, they would have to be beaten to death with rotten eggs.
At this time, the counter-rebellion army that conquered Longyan has begun to attack Liancheng. Dezhi has now gone to Tingzhou and regarded it as his base camp. This guy is not a fool. It is not good to hide in Changting.
You can go to Jiangxi, but Yang Feng's troops can't go to other people's territory to cause trouble for you, right? Besides, the governor of Jiangxi at this time is De Shou, and everyone can't write two full characters in one stroke. I am acting under the secret order of the Queen Mother.
There was no way he could just sit idly by and ignore the country's efforts to eradicate traitors.
In fact, he guessed it right. After occupying Changting, he immediately received a steady stream of arms support from Jiangxi. Even Deshou himself came over to encourage him, and then assigned him a battalion of his own troops for training.
The strength of Yang's army has skyrocketed over time. Of course, these are not made public. After all, if the support is publicly given to him, it will easily give Yang Feng an excuse and provoke him to send troops to Beijing again. This is something Cixi will give Deshou.
Yi's decree contains thousands of instructions and instructions.
To put it bluntly, her current strategy is to cause trouble for Yang Feng, constantly making trouble, so that he can never develop, so as to buy time for the imperial court to expand its army, not only the army and even the navy. Cixi has gritted her teeth and left the British army.
Ordered three 4,000-ton armored cruisers, and bypassed the Beiyang Navy and established a new army naval battalion. The strategy was good, and she did work hard, but unfortunately her opponent was not that powerful at all.
She could imagine it.
The banner troops who left Longyan were all in high spirits. They had brought disaster to the city and made the people resentful. Their evil deeds such as robbery, rape, murder and arson all made them feel like their ancestors. If it weren't for Yang Feng's people later
They really didn't want to leave after threatening them with bayonets. But what they didn't understand was that these guys who were said to have scraped three feet off the ground in Japan were actually extremely civilized in Longyan. Not only did they stop them
They committed acts of vandalism, and also engaged in ridiculous behaviors such as helping old ladies carry water and picking fruits for children, which made a bunch of ordinary people burst into tears of gratitude.
"Brothers Yuting, why don't you grab it?" San Duoge, the captain of the Mongolian Zhengbai Banner and the garrison flag force in Hangzhou, asked Zhang Zuolin, the battalion commander of the 1st Division of the Governor-General of Fujian and Zhejiang, Zhang Zuolin, who he had just met, and Marshal Zhang who had joined Song Qing in the Northeast.
, because he saved Jiang Guiti, who was almost killed by poison gas in Pyongyang, he has been following him as a soldier. When the new army was reorganized, Jiang Guiti was appointed as a battalion commander because of his reputation.
"Look at all the tatters you grabbed. I don't even care about these things. Look at what this is?" Zhang Zuolin said, taking out a gold-plated and gem-set pocket watch and saying proudly.
Then he said: "I got this from a noble family in Japan. It is worth at least five thousand taels of silver. Ask our old brothers who have been to Japan, who is not worth a few thousand taels of silver? Who cares about the rags like you?
?”
Sanduoge opened his eyes wide in surprise and said with infinite longing: "When will we have such a day?"
"Follow Mr. Yang, sooner or later you will get there." Zhang Zuolin said casually, but he was thinking to himself: Let's talk about it if you can survive tonight!
As Jiang Guiti's closest confidant, he knew what would happen tonight. In fact, his battalion was mixed with the Banner Army just for tonight's mission.
It can be said that the area in western Fujian is flat, with nothing but mountains. In addition, the summer is hot and humid, so the large group of people moved very slowly. At night, they finally found a small village. After a while,
The flag troops drove all the residents out and started to set up camp. They were not worried about being attacked because they thought they were too slow. The accompanying Dubiao Second Brigade had already reached the front, which was equivalent to the Dubiao First Division.
The two brigades sandwiched the flag army in the middle, making it very safe.
The battalion led by Zhang Zuolin acted as a liaison with the Banner Army, so there was no distinction between the two armies. All the camps were mixed together, drinking, eating meat and studying women together at night, especially listening to those veterans of the Japanese army.
The characteristic of Japanese women is that they eat very well. After a day of walking, the army had enough to eat and drink, so they got into tents and houses and slowly fell asleep.
When Zhang Zuolin led his soldiers, he quietly slipped out of the tent one by one, then held a glass bottle to catch his breath, touched the flag army's residence, quickly poured the liquid inside, and then took it.
Take the guns they left outside and evacuate this small village.
Then he took out his flashlight and swung it in circles three times into the darkness in the distance. Soon, with the sound of rapid footsteps, a large number of heavily armed soldiers appeared outside the village.
"Sir, everything is done. This thing is really useful." Zhang Zuolin took the bottle of ethimi, walked up to Jiang Guiti and said with a grin.
"Well done, everyone ordered to have their bayonets fixed, and no one was left alive!" Jiang Guiti said fiercely.
