Dr. Tea saw Fu Shan’s face full of Lu Chen, smiled on his face and introduced, “You can know everything about Liudu’s local affairs by reading Liudu Weekly.

Fu Shan was about to wait for the newspaper seller to come, but he didn't expect that Dr. Tea also sold the newspapers at the same time, saying, "How is this 'this week' calculated?"

As the name suggests, a week is definitely a cycle. Before the concept of "week" and "worship" was introduced into China, this cycle can only be "Heaven Stems and Earthly Branches". If the day is calculated according to the stems and branches, then this week may be 60 days in Jiazi, or it may only be counted as the Heavenly Stems, that is, ten days.

"It's just one tenth." Dr. Tea said: "Only counting the heavenly stems."

Fu Shan followed the local customs and spent ten-text money to buy a copy of Liudu Weekly. When he opened it, he found an article declaring Zuo Liangyu's plan to rebel and rebellion. He was originally a person who was very sensitive to the words, and the article was written very beautifully, without tying the readers and his own ideas between the lines.

But this idea is to fear that the world will not be in chaos, which makes people believe that there must be a black hand behind Zuo Liangyu's chaos, and this black hand is lurking in Jiangnan under the peaceful and prosperous era.

Thinking about the 16th year of Chongzhen, Zuo Liangyu also came and said he wanted to eat Jiangdong. The entire Nanjing city was in panic. Unknown to all, the wealthy families fled abroad. Now Zuo Bing is coming again, which makes people hate the black hand even more.

Fu Shan suddenly remembered that when he was in Jinan that day, the crown prince said that he didn't want to touch Jiangnan, but now it seems that he has already taken action. He was worried that the Tian family's thunder was too fierce and furious. Unexpectedly, he used newspapers to control public opinion. It was really impossible to say that there was no trace of antelope hanging on their horns.

"Dr. Tea," Fu Shan called out, "the "Huangming News" and "Liudu Weekly" from the previous two weeks. And what good newspapers do you have here, and you will get them for me."

Dr. Cha smiled and came in response. He had already reported a thick stack of newspapers in his hand and placed them on Fu Shan's table.

Fu Shan spent twenty or thirty lines to buy tea and snacks, but the newspaper cost him a penny. When he returned to the inn with these newspapers and wanted to read them slowly, he was ridiculed by the waiter, blaming him for not buying them from the store, but he ran out to suffer from this fatigue. Only then did Fu Shan realize that as long as there is an inn in Nanjing that has room, there are still these newspapers, and it is one cheaper than the teahouse.

With so many newspapers, where did so much paper and ink come from?

This thought flashed through Fu Shan's mind, and then he threw it behind and focused all his attention on the discussions in these newspapers.

In the Ming Dynasty, there were bookstores everywhere in Jiangnan. The bookstores naturally had writers who wrote manuscripts, veterans who commented on writing and masters who engraved characters. They could be said to be one-stop writing, editing, printing, and selling. The newspaper was built in imitation of bookstores, and naturally also raised many editors.

Fu Shan soon discovered that some articles were written by one person, while others were published under a different name, and I don’t know who they are.

Newspapers generally do not deliberately explore the origin of these characters with pseudonyms. Anyway, they are mostly officials. After having a newspaper, they can make sounds without revealing their identity, which is particularly welcome for the rulings of the court and the people. Because they may be a bad treasure in writing, they can be published in the newspaper. However, they can wait until the truth is revealed and choose to jump out to admit it. Or let the nickname disappear at all.

Not to mention passing the memorials on the Tongzheng and Envoy Department, if the crown prince criticized a "report and talk big" and "boldly talk", he would fall from an official to a "criminal official" in a blink of an eye. Those who are more lucky will be sent to the county to manage the academic affairs, and those who are not lucky will be sent directly to the rural village school as a teacher. However, there is no risk in publishing articles in the newspaper. If you seek profit and avoid harm, who will still hand in the book to the Tongzheng Department?

This is why the Ming Dynasty newspaper industry did not have the concept of "manuscript fee" from the beginning. However, when "Quyuan Zatan" collects the storybook, it will give some meager "moistening pens" when it comes to novels. When it comes to exquisite writing, kind readers will send money to the newspaper and transfer it to the author for "reward". The newspaper will not do good deeds in vain, so the reward will naturally be divided by half.

After reading the newspaper all night, Fu Shan completely understood the mirror in his heart like a mirror, grasping the context of the whole thing. If he had guessed correctly, the sound in the newspaper was just an overture. His Royal Highness's back-up was ready, and he was waiting for the moment when the picture was revealed.

From the Jiangnan Shilin Newspaper, Fu Shan also saw that the boss of this company was vaguely challenging the Huangming Newspaper. In the place where the heart-learning of Jiangnan is flooded, it is not the king who represents this person as a Confucian scholar of Confucius. It is not difficult for the powerful to be powerful, but it means that this person is not be blamed by the mighty and has the style of an ancient gentleman.

——However, the Shilin Daily is singing on stage dramas almost everything and insulting the crown prince so much. I am not afraid that the newspaper will be banned.

When Fu Shantou saw the word "reverse deposit", he was shocked and his scalp was numb. He didn't know where the bottom line of the officials here was.

However, this time Zuo Liangyu made a rebellion, and the Shilin Daily no longer stood opposite the Huangming News. On such a big deal, who dares to joke about his head? Others say that there is a black hand in Jiangnan to respond to Zuo Liangyu. If the Shilin Daily jumped out and spoke for Zuo Liangyu, wouldn’t this bend on his head?

Fu Shan didn't know that the reason why Qian Qianyi didn't stand on Zuo Liangyu's side was because he felt that he had been betrayed!

The eunuch Lu Jiude actually betrayed his faith and had already agreed not to establish the Fufu vassal, but he still pushed the Fufu vassal behind his back!

Although Qian Qianyi always said that he was unwilling to be a partner with the eunuchs, this was actually not the first time he had worked with the eunuchs.

As early as the tenth year of Chongzhen, he and Cao Huachun defeated Wen Tiren, the then prime minister. This time, his cooperation with Lu Jiude was just a casual act. In his eyes, there was no eunuch who would not be knocked down by silver bullets. Unexpectedly, Lu Jiude actually took the money and was still secretly tampered with it, not being a son of humanity!

Under such circumstances, Qian Qianyi certainly refused to join Lu Jiude again. The Jiangnan Shilin Daily adhered to fairness and did not make any voices that were inconsistent with the mainstream.

A few days later, the two giants in Nanjing investigated Zuo Liangyu's responses together, and the wind seemed to float to a certain Shilin leader as if nothing had happened, which made Qian Qianyi nervous.

There are not many people who can truly be called Shilin leaders nowadays. Whether it is Shi Kefa or Gao Hongtu, although they have high official positions, their status in the literary world is far from comparable to Qian Qianyi. Moreover, these two people are in a high-end link in the political ecosystem, and they must always be careful of their words and deeds, and cannot enter and exit various banquets like Qian Qianyi to expand their influence.

"It was clearly Lu Jiude who wanted to support the Fufan Reign, so why did Zuo Liangyu get involved in the head of the master?" Liu Rushi read the insidious article in the newspaper, and was so angry that he slanted his eyebrows and frowned with a shallow Sichuan character between his eyebrows.

Qian Qianyi said with a grudge: "This Lu Jiude is really a great deal of harm! On that day, he clearly said that he was willing to use Lu Fan to supervise the country, but he turned his head to run for the Fu Fan again. He didn't think about it, with the entanglement between Lao Fu King and Guangmiao, how could the court tolerate the Fu Fan first come forward!"

"This matter will not be implicated in the master, right?" Liu Rushi was really anxious. He interacted with eunuchs, looked for military generals, first established a governor, and then responded to the military ministers, curbing the ambitions of rebellion and protecting the priest's blessings... This logical chain is concise and realistic, and is the work of loyal ministers and righteous men. Now that the military chaos has started before the governor has been established, it is obviously a quarrel.

Zuo Liangyu has a lot of relationship with Hou Xun. Hou Xun is also a member of the Donglin Party, and Qian Qianyi is also recognized as the leader of the Donglin Party in the world, so it will be a matter of time before he is involved.

Qian Qianyi walked in the small courtyard in front of Jiangyun Tower for a long time, and finally said, "I can only burn my boat!"

"What are you thinking about?"

"Support the Lu Wang Supervisor and order Zuo Liangyu to return to the land of his mission!" Qian Qianyi said loudly.

Liu Rushi felt a little confused and said he was secretly ominous. Although she refused to admit that the matter she planned with Mr. Qian was involved in treason, she did not dare to say that such a matter of establishing a state-regulatory country was not treason, so she could only convince herself with "loyalty and righteousness".

——But now, how come I feel like I get darker and darker.

Liu Rushi said in his heart.

...

On November 23, 18th year of Chongzhen, the Qing army formally issued an edict, accusing the Ming court of "not knowing the hearts of good people" and "learning a lesson". The next day, the general and his uncle, Regent Jirhalang, appeared in the Qing army camp outside Tianjin, and ordered Bayala to Zhang Jing Aoboi to lead his troops to attack Tianjin.

At the same time, Xiao Donglou stood at the top of Tianjin City and personally ignited the cannon. The battle in Tianjin officially began.

The Second Guard Division has built fortifications outside the Tianjin city wing.

The outermost layer is a dense trap of horse pits, which not only can trap horse feet, but also can trap human legs, but also prevent the Qing army's siege equipment from easily pushing to the front line of defense.

After the horse pit was trapped, there was a deep digging trench, which was more than one meter wide.

Behind the trench is a chest wall, which is built with the earth and stones that dig the trench.

There is five or six steps behind the chest wall, which makes it easier for the musketsmen to arrange the array.

Behind it is an earth wall that is more than meter high.

From the trench to the earthen wall, it is an independent defensive array, which lies outside the city wing, each with a length of only fifty steps.

Three or five steps were left between each defensive array, flush with the ground, two cannons were set up, and the dark guns were daunting. After such a defensive array was connected, the entire Tianjin city was surrounded. All building materials were made locally, or the houses in the city and the city were demolished, and the building materials actually transported from the sea were limited to use.

Between the southwest of Tianjin City and the port, the labor camp masters also led their men to build a rectangular sub-city one mile long and a hundred steps wide at the fastest speed. With this temporary construction of the Tucheng City, the logistics line from the port to the main city was even more difficult to threaten by the Qing army. (To be continued...)
