War is a behavior in which groups and organizations use violence and brutal attacks against each other. It is an armed battle conducted by hostile parties in order to achieve certain political, economic, territorial integrity and other purposes.
It is often politicians rather than soldiers who trigger wars, and often only soldiers and ordinary people suffer. The rulers and careerists who initiate wars will hardly be affected at all during the war. No matter what the purpose of the war, ordinary people
The people are also the most opposed to war.
Therefore, before a war breaks out, especially before a war that has been planned for a long time, those careerist rulers will often carry out pre-war propaganda, trying their best to package themselves as victims and stir up conflicts between ordinary people on both sides.
Zeng Yi could clearly feel that the war was coming. Recently, Jinyiwei had sent back a lot of domestic intelligence from the four countries. In addition to military matters, the four countries were actively preparing. Some voices began to appear in the public opinion field. Xixia even did not hesitate to expose the secret base of Yipintang, which was
The sneak attack thing,
Of course, in Xixia's propaganda, the secret base became Xixia, a medical base for peaceful research on treating diseases and saving lives. They claimed that someone did not want Xixia to obtain medical skills that could help Xixia people and extend their lifespan, so they shamelessly attacked the base.
, in the end dozens of outstanding doctors died tragically under the enemy's sword.
Although Xixia did not say it explicitly, either explicitly or implicitly, all kinds of rhetoric pointed to the Central Plains. Except for this incident, in a short period of time, Xixia people suddenly began to widely spread many things about the Central Plains. One characteristic of these things is that they are all discussed later.
How did the Central Plains bully Xixia?
Tubo also began to make such remarks, and even blamed the Central Plains for stationing troops on the border, saying that the Central Plains threatened Tubo and Tibet had to station troops on the border. Tubo was a small and weak country, and the Central Plains wanted to use military threats to bring down Tubo. This
The rhetoric is completely nonsense, but ordinary people in Tibet do not understand the real situation, and some people really believe such remarks.
Compared with the grasslands and Persia, Xixia and Tubo are already relatively mild. The warlike grasslands and Persia are more straightforward in their remarks. The grasslands are not small, but there are not many places suitable for growing food, and the grasslands have never been able to solve the domestic food problem.
, in order to launch a war, Grassland directly declared that as long as it could capture the vast land in the northern part of the Central Plains, Grassland would no longer have to worry about food problems.
After all, the Central Plains still borders the three countries. Although it is an exaggeration, the two sides do have some inexplicable conflicts. There is not even an inch of land bordering Persia. The exchanges between the two sides are limited to commercial exchanges. There is nothing to say. Persia actually
It is very shameless to preach that the Central Plains is full of gold and is a good place to make a fortune. As long as they can send troops to the Central Plains, everyone can make a fortune. Such remarks are very effective. Some militants in Persia have even begun to actively join the army, hoping to get a piece of it.
Soup.
Zeng Yi was even more speechless. He really couldn't find any reason. In areas where the Persian court had great influence, there were even rumors secretly that the Persian Mingjiao was an organization supported by the Central Plains to deal with Persia.
After these remarks came back to the capital, Zeng Yi knew very clearly that war was really coming.
"Pre-war propaganda! Before the war breaks out, it is the most commonly used method to divert conflicts and unify ideas! Just wait, when public opinion reaches a certain level, the four countries should use this to suppress domestic opposition voices and unify domestic ideas!"
"Haven't they already swept away all the opposition in the country?" Shakian frowned and said.
Zeng Yi shook his head: "It's different. In the past, we were cleaning up those forces that had problems and might fish in troubled waters. What we need to clean up first are the people in the country who have the prestige to oppose the real war!"
There are not peaceful people who oppose the war in the four countries. There are even some eminent monks and famous Confucians who are very respected in the country. If these people are not eliminated, they will have a great influence on the unified thinking in the country!
"What should we do? Should we take some measures to control public opinion in the four countries?"
Zeng Yi shook his head: "It's useless. The situation has reached this point. It's useless to do anything. My suggestion is that the Central Plains can also start publicity before the war!"
Mingri nodded: "Yes, war is inevitable, now we can only prepare for war!"
After sorting out this information, the Jinyiwei reported it to the court. Her Majesty the Queen, after discussing with all the important officials in the court, ordered the Jinyiwei to start publicity before the war.
"Now that the imperial court has given the order, the Jinyiwei can also take action and let the people below start to take action. All kinds of bad things, big and small, can be blamed on the four countries."
As a result, people all over the Central Plains began to spread various bad remarks about the Four Kingdoms. Compared with the flawed remarks of the Four Kingdoms, the Central Plains Jinyiwei was very good at controlling public opinion. He specially recruited a group of scholars to make up reasonable
There are many things that Zeng Yi can't help but believe after seeing them.
People in the border areas do not need publicity. The people here and that have not been invaded by the four countries. Further inland, some places are the key places for Jinyiwei's propaganda. People here live comfortably, and even in many places, they have not been there for many years.
Have you encountered any war?
There was a drought in one place. Jin Yiwei directly explained the reason for this and placed it on the grassland. He said that the people in the grassland did not understand ecology and grazed at will, resulting in large deserts and water loss, which led to drought.
.
In the coastal areas, when they were attacking island countries, Jin Yiwei originally promoted that the pirates encountered at sea were all Japanese pirates. This time it was changed, and all the Japanese pirates were Persians. To be official, the Jin Yiwei in one place even captured two
The Persians claimed to be captured pirates.
The people were also confused. Weren't they all Japanese pirates before? How could they become Persians? Jinyiwei also had an explanation for this, saying that the Japanese pirates had been defeated and the Japanese pirates were basically eliminated, while Persian pirates took advantage of the vacuum period at sea to develop.
Those who threatened them first were mainly the Persians.
With the outbreak of public opinion between the two sides, the contradiction between the two sides has become more and more serious. Now even some businessmen on the trade road no longer go out to do business for fear of being caught by both sides. The governments of both sides have not yet banned exchanges. These
The businessmen are mainly afraid that ordinary people will break out, and then they, the businessmen who come and go, will be unlucky.
