Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 34 Public Opinion and Public Opinion

Facing the fierce offensive of public opinion headed by "Daily Express", "Empire News" and "Oriental Times", which had been keeping a low profile in the early stage of the debate, also began to join in. "Empire News" is The public opinion position of the business class in the imperial capital has always been controlled by the upper-middle class dominated by merchants and workshop owners in the imperial capital. Its main shareholder, Gao Lishu, has long been on the same front as Xijiang, and has not made any effort in the early stage. The main reason is that Xijiang prefers some neutral media to take the lead, while "Oriental Times" is a new newspaper. They are based on the East China Sea and Jiangnan business forces who have experienced wars in the two places. They are funded by some people who moved to the imperial capital. , but in just a few months, it has developed into the third largest newspaper in the imperial capital after "Daily Express" and "Empire News", and it has a considerable market among the middle and lower classes. Liao Qichang got on the line with Xijiang under the lead, but at this time they needed to go into battle shirtless.

"Oriental Times" first fired the first shot in counterattack. An article titled "Celebrating the Father's Death, Lu Difficulty Has Not Ended" listed a certain member of the royal family who was high and powerful, but flattered and negotiated peace with the outside world, lost power and humiliated the country, and lost Lost land, but domestically they are intimidating and defrauding, plundering people's wealth, and even provoking civil wars. They are typical civil war insiders and foreign war laymen. If such people are allowed to hold greater power, it will only sink the empire further. There is no turning back. This report not only aroused great repercussions in the imperial capital, but also triggered a wave of protests in the southeastern region, especially in the industrial and commercial classes in the areas controlled by Situ Tai.

That sentence of plundering people's wealth has won the hearts of the people in the southeast. The "Yuanyang Business Daily" under the control of Situ Yuan in Quanzhou echoed it by publishing a series of articles titled "The Sinking of the Southeast". The prosperity of the Jiangnan two places five years ago and the current depression, with extremely delicate writing and reliable data, objectively analyzed everything from finance and taxation to the current situation of all walks of life, from the income of the people to the social security situation, with particular emphasis on the analysis The industrial and commercial industries that made the East China Sea and the south of the Yangtze River the most tax-taxed areas of the empire, from shipbuilding, tea making, salt making, wine making, oil pressing, wood deep processing, cotton spinning, silk, ceramics, handicrafts, luxury goods, paper making and other manufacturing industries to circulation in all parties In the commercial and financial industries, the data enumerated line by line and compared with the situation five years ago to the current decline rate, the shrinkage ranges from 60% to 20%. It is less than 70% of what it was five years ago. Such a large landslide is unprecedented in the history of the southeast. There is only one reason for the serious decline of the industry and commerce in the southeast, and that is the change of the real power controller in the region. The development of industry and commerce provides a good environment for development, killing chickens and taking eggs, and catching fish. If this situation continues, the bankruptcy of the southeast is a certainty.

The article "The Fall of the Southeast" was co-authored by Wen Zhengming, a famous talent in Quanzhou, and Zhu Zhishan, a well-known investigative reporter of "Yuanyang Business Daily". and the reasons for the decline, focusing on the in-depth discussion of the reasons for the decline of the southeast's industry and commerce, especially the ruler's psychological jealousy and political discrimination in the face of such a rich southeast. The description and analysis can be described as sharp and penetrating. Although no names were named, even fools know that this is an offensive article aimed at Situ Tai. The article concludes that if such a ruler is left in power, the empire and the Tanghe people will only go to the country and be reduced to second-class The plight of the nation.

As soon as this article came out, it immediately resonated with the entire empire's industrial and commercial circles. Even though the business class in Yanyun County, Situ Tai's hometown, did not dare to express their support, the Yanyun County Chamber of Commerce and its subordinate chambers of commerce discussed this article The atmosphere of the article became stronger day by day, and even many media outlets from Milan, Mahad, Andako, and the countries of the Nanyang Alliance reprinted this realistic serial article. Wen Zhengming and Zhu Zhishan also relied on this article to establish their status as the favorites of the Empire's press circles in one fell swoop, and it was also the first shot for the two to occupy a place in the press circles of the Glorious Empire.

Immediately following the "Oriental Times" to launch a counterattack were two media outlets, "Empire News" and "Business Weekly".

"Empire Times" justified Li Wufeng's name with an article "Glory of the Empire". How did the nomads, the largest foreign invader in the northwest of the empire, regain Yinchuan and the Western Regions, which had been wandering outside the territory of the empire, so that the troubles in the northwest of the empire were finally eliminated? At the same time, he also spoke highly of Li Wufeng's efforts to stabilize the food price in the imperial capital during his tenure as the guardian of the Western Xinjiang Metropolitan Government. Overcome this difficulty, and finally in the face of the empire's greatest enemy, the Liberians, fought hard and fought hard to finally defeat the Liberians. This raised the aspirations of the Tanghe nation, and forced the Kamanians to withdraw from the so-called world Jiayuguan, the first fortress of the empire, has achieved unprecedented feats since the founding of the empire.

This article, which was obviously a tribute to Li Wufeng, won the praise of the middle and lower classes in the imperial capital, especially among the younger generation. Li Wufeng's entrepreneurial history has become an insurmountable legendary myth. Li Wufeng's portrait and dress style were also introduced to the imperial capital along with some people with ulterior motives in Xijiang, attracting countless young people to imitate wildly, and creating a generation of star-chasing craze. And this article, because of its gorgeous style of writing, also made this article a model article used by court literati to praise someone.

Unlike the "Imperial Times" which targets the middle and lower class people, "Business Weekly" is the preferred reading material with a certain professional taste among the middle and upper elites in the imperial capital and even the empire. And it has already penetrated into the gentry and nobles of the imperial capital. "Business Weekly" published a series of special reports under the title "Xijiang Economic Development Trend Series xxx", which analyzed the economic development status of various economic regions and industries with different characteristics in Xijiang. It expounds the development process of Xijiang's economy from poverty to prosperity in many aspects, and focuses on the great changes brought about by the economic development of Xijiang to the people's life in Xijiang. Of course, as a commercial publication, "Business Weekly" is inevitably The content is the main content, and it mainly introduces the advantageous economy of the ten county-level regions currently controlled by Xijiang and the various policies currently adopted by Xijiang to encourage the development of industry and commerce.

This series of articles not only explained the reasons for the current economic achievements of Xijiang from the perspective of the middle and upper classes of the empire from the policies and measures currently adopted by Xijiang, but also explained the reasons for the rapid economic decline in the interior of the empire. The business class, especially small and medium-sized business people, provides an excellent place for financing and investment. This series of articles not only won Xijiang a lot of points in the business class of the imperial capital, but also achieved a good response in the financial industry of the imperial capital, which has always been under Situ Tai's sphere of influence, especially the "Xijiang Economic Development Trend Series" "Finance Chapter" not only introduces the birth process of Northwest Bank, the predecessor of Xijiang Bank in detail, but also introduces the operation of private financial institutions such as Datong Bank, Wanfeng Bank, Jinling Bank and Jiangnan Bank in various places in Xijiang. The development of financial institutions such as the Southern First Industrial and Commercial Bank, Kansai Commercial Bank, Peninsula Industrial and Commercial Bank and other local industrial and commercial forces that have relocated inland and self-funded by local industrial and commercial forces~IndoMTL.com~The article also puts forward constructive suggestions at the end of the article to encourage the imperial capital It is the best time for financial institutions with a complete financial system and rich careers to enter the development of Western Xinjiang, and the blind spots of financial institutions such as Zhongnan County, East Tengger County and Xiyu County are listed.

Unlike the frontal tasks of "Empire News", "Oriental Times" and "Business Weekly", a large number of non-mainstream media with a large market among the lower-level people of the imperial capital undertake the task of comprehensive counterattack. The mainstream figures of the Situ family were attacked from all angles and aspects, and Situ Tai and Situ Yushuang were the first to bear the brunt.

Of course, Situ Tai needn't say much, betraying his country and seeking glory became his first crime, not to mention losing Treasure Island, Kamchatka Island, and Ryukyu Islands, and flirting with the Japanese invaders, acting servilely, etc. The act of selling national sovereignty and territory was directly denounced by some newspapers as traitors of the Tang Dynasty, and he should be deprived of his qualifications as a member of the Tang clan.

Disregarding the interests of the country for the sake of self-interest became Situ Tai's second crime. Facing the situation of the Liberian soldiers oppressing the border, he did not find a way to resist foreign aggression, but racked his brains to fight civil wars, provoking civil wars in the East China Sea and Jiangnan , directly led to the loss of a large area of ​​the northern territory, and the people in the Yunzhong area became the most tragic victims. The self-government formed by the local gentry has clearly refused to accept the rule of any member of the Situ family. They believe that the hundreds of thousands of people in Yunzhong were first abandoned by Situ Tai and then by the imperial center. At the time of the double threat of the plague, only Xijiang extended a helping hand. The local gentry and people made it clear that they refused anyone's jurisdiction except accepting the rule of Xijiang, and formed a local self-defense army to prepare and defend their own autonomy. .
