Li Hongzhang never thought that the so-called "little loach" in his consciousness was actually a big, no matter how big the sea dragon! What was stirring up was not just a breeze, but a sensation and huge waves!

On this day, Tianjin, Beijing, Zhangjiakou, Datong, Lushun, Yantai, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hankou along the river and sea routes, including the Cao Gang, Pingyao Merchants, and the sea transportation routes, and the Guowen Newspaper will be sold together in more than a dozen core cities!

In just ten days of preparation, Yang Hao spent nearly 100,000 taels of silver to be invested in the capital, through Caogang, shipping, Shanxi merchants, Yan Fu's classmates, fellow villagers, friends, and international students, all of which were handed over to send out all the 100,000 first-issue newspapers printed at one time from the small printing factory in the world...

The farthest Guangzhou was the goods that were only received yesterday. Local foreign company agents, Shanxi shops and bank tickets were sold together as agreed. They also used free reports to local scholars, gentry, and officials who were well-known and prestigious, and took the test to the local scholars, gentry, and officials. In the morning of that day, at least more than a thousand people saw the newspaper first, and in the afternoon, it expanded rapidly to tens of thousands!

Within three days, all 100,000 newspapers were sold out!

Even Yang Hao was stunned and incredible at this speed! He had never expected in advance that in this Eastern country, all classes, including the emperor and even folk scholars, were seeking a path to get out of the fog and dilemma, and were eager to understand the external world. At the critical moment of current events, such an all-inclusive and stunningly rich newspaper would be!

Yang Hao and his family didn’t know that many people want to open their eyes to the outside world these days, but they have no channels. They want to go abroad, and it is extremely difficult to apply for a passport! In addition to the national government-sponsored international students and diplomats, private study abroad is not easy and the cost is also extremely expensive!

Moreover, the whole world is anti-China, and the United States has signed a ten-year agreement with the Qing government to prohibit Chinese from immigrating to the United States, cutting off this possibility from a policy perspective. For churches and foreign schools that have been in China for decades, if ordinary people want to learn something from them, they have to join the church and believe in their orders. How many scholars are willing to put down their qualities and bear the responsibility?

Yang Hao didn’t know how great the needs of this group were!

Just between this year and next year, "The New History of Taisie", translated by British missionary Timothy Li and China's Chie Kang, is a novel "the most disgusting scum among the third-rate historical works" in the historical community, but it was serialized in Shanghai's "Gumbrella of the World" in March and was very popular! Even after the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, the whole book was published for the first time, and it was sold out for 30,000 copies, and it was sold out. It was reprinted many times in short supply, so many pirates printed privately to make profits!

The book describes the history of the development of Western capitalism since the 19th century, taking the country as the merit and the affairs as the latitude. It records the politics, military, diplomatic, finance, industry and commerce, transportation, education, news, society, relief, ethnic issues, colonies and other history of the Roman Catholic Church in the 19th century, and finally briefly describes the historical sites of the Roman Catholic Church, and describes the situation of the Society, the European New Deals and schools.

Because the author was a British man, he advocated the British-style moderate revolutionary path, such as the British Parliament reform in 1832, and he highly praised it: "In this century, Britain's benefit to the people and other countries is beyond the reform of the system in 1832, and there is no other subordinate to the reform of the system in 1832." "After changing the system, all laws that were established in the past, patented in one industry and one family, will be deleted, and the public will be treated equally... The so-called sharing of benefits to the public."

He emphasized the role of religion: "Since ancient times, the great scriptures and laws that have changed the world have only been the best in practicing teachings." It is obviously the forced promotion and cultural invasion of missionaries in China.

He was also full of prejudice against the French Revolution and Napoleon, believing that "the French people died and harmed the people in the past two years, and it was a great disaster in Europe that had never happened in history, and it was also tragic." He ruled it, "It was never as special as Napoleon was."

In the preface, Timothy Li clearly stated: "This book is a lonely lamp in the dark room, a piece of raft in the confused body. It is translated in detail. In terms of quality, it is a good medicine to save the people, a strong wall for the country, and a precious jade to cure poverty. It is the beginning of the new world of China." "A clear mirror is enough to appreciate beauty, and a new history is enough to study the succession. Why not publish a box to write a book to the Chinese people to help Mount Tai?" He also said: "This book should be regarded as a treasure for revitalizing China."

After Li Timothy's "management" and "several changes", this book was transferred to Emperor Guangxu's desk and was immediately cited as a classic and read from time to time. Among the people, it was cited as the "Gumatouncil of the All Nations" with only 4,000 copies of the publication, and it was a monthly magazine and the official newspaper of the Guangxu Society. It has only been published for two issues, and its influence has not yet been opened.

At this critical moment, Yang Hao manipulated Yan Fu and a group of unsuccessful friends as the backbone. The unprecedented promotion method of "Guowenbao" that emerged suddenly swept across the country!

Because the content can meet the needs of all social classes, except for the stubborn and conservative officials, all officials who are a little motivated will regard them as rare treasures! The Westernizationists, the reformists, and the young and strong people have found what they want. Folk customs have become popular, and they can't put down all kinds of practical tips!

At noon that day, hundreds of people read the news at the teahouses and restaurants in Tianjin and Beijing, in exchange for rewards for tea, melon seeds and snacks. Many storytellers with a quick nose hurriedly asked people to read out the stories in it, and worked overtime to make jokes, preparing them as the capital of their life.

People these days have loved to cherish the words and paper. No one has made the bundles of newspapers selling waste products by pounding them. Instead, many literati used a newspaper as seasoning and called their friends to gather the wine party. Everyone ate wine and enjoyed the article together, thinking it was elegant.

When it was almost time for dinner, Li Hongzhang was finally shocked by the news from telegrams from all over the country. He slapped the table and shouted loudly: "What? They sent the newspapers all over the country? Where did Yan Youling get such skills? How did they do it?!"

Zhang Peilun said with a bitter face: "Either the provinces, or the imperial palace, there are also those in the imperial palace. In addition, there are people in Seoul, North Korea and Tokyo, Japan, who have trafficked it. It can be seen that their layout is not a day, and the scope of the plan is not a small fuss!"

"Good boy! It seems that I really underestimated you!"

Li Hongzhang was so arrogant that he didn't get furious, and he also felt a little excited. He asked: "Is there any news in the palace? What do you say to the emperor in the Summer Palace?"

Zhang Peilun said with a strange expression: "The emperor is very impressed by this. He believes that this is a reward for both the elite and the masses, which is in line with orthodox, and is a supporter who broadens his mind and vision. Unfortunately, his writing is not good and not elegant enough. After hearing someone read a chapter of "The Legend of the Great Song Dynasty" by someone in the West Palace, he commented, which is interesting."

"It's interesting."

Li Hongzhang had some idea and smiled while stroking his beard. He was not worried about anything else. He didn't care about the attacks and confrontations of political enemies, but he had to see clearly what Cixi meant. As for the troubles between Emperor Guangxu and the imperial party Qingliu, he only regarded it as a joke. Who has the final say in this Qing Dynasty? It is not the one who sits on the throne of the Nine Dragons. The Queen Mother, who was raised far away in the Summer Palace, is the real person.

At present, Weng Tong and those people were jumping happily, urging the emperor to let go of his hands and feet, and Cixi also intended to relax the reins and let them perform well. This "Guo Wenbao" was right at the right time, but it was icing on the cake. The wonderful use of cooking oil in the fire was really good!

However, in this case, he really couldn't kill and suppress him. As long as the Guowenbao did not reveal the intention of having no father and lord, he could only watch it first.

Li Hongzhang came out of the grassroots level, and his ability to settle accounts was comparable to that of ordinary people. After thinking for a moment, he was convinced and snorted coldly: "I want to see how much money those kids have to throw in!"

With such a large scale, the price is so low, so it will definitely lose money! It depends on whether they can support it.

Lord Zhongtang could not have imagined that Yang Hao's series of operations were not his goal! The next morning, the British Concession "Guowenbao" headquarters began to come to him, merchants had to spend money to advertise, literati had to make friends with Yan Fu and several editors, and everyone discussed the situation of the articles together. Many nobles sent posts to invite them, looking for the complete book of each article. Yang Hao hid at home and laughed: "The big thing has been done!"

When running this newspaper, what he wants is influence, reputation, and the hearts of contemporary young elites!

Next spring, the imperial examination will be the imperial examination. If nothing unexpected happens in history, then the "public bus letter" after the Sino-Japanese War - although Kang Youwei made a big flirting role for himself, it was actually a joint letter of more than 1,550 students from the 18th provinces. This is still a famous one, and there are countless people. They are all young and strong factions with influence, appeal, and enthusiasm. If you use this group of people well, you can become the new force that overturns the Qing court's rule!

With the spread of the influence of "Guowenbao", he can form a small circle of pioneers who are regarded by everyone as pioneers who can see the future of the country. As long as he can attract one-tenth of them, he can form a powerful force! At that time, he will induce education and lead them on the revolutionary path, but it will be much stronger than Sun Dapao's party line!

The most wonderful thing is that no one except him knows that in two months, a different Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 will happen. No one expected the final result! The huge changes brought about by that made countless aspiring young people at a loss. And he had to build up the momentum before everything happened, and then he would get the greatest gain!

With the help of countless people who are interested, the Japanese spy case quickly spread from the official rumor, and was exclusively disclosed by the Guowen Daily, to all parts of the country. After repeated exaggeration, the consequences, the impact, and the possible threats immediately became the hottest topics on the streets and alleys.

All over the country, cursing the unfamiliar dog in Japan in unfamiliar voices. The Japanese prostitute business in major concessions plummeted, and attacks and expelled Japanese merchants were endless. Countless officials and scholars wrote to the court, demanding severe punishment!

Weng Tonghe and other imperial party members, the Qingli War factions, instigated the emperor to issue an order, and shot all the people to commit the Ming Zhengzhu punishment! However, the questioning of Japan only received a "sorry" without any pain. They also analyzed to the Guowenbao that he was not sincere at all and did not reach the level of "apologies". The government and cabinet had no repentance, which caused condemnation from all over the world!

Yang Hao went further and boldly inferred that the Japanese might soon deny it, distort the report in foreign newspapers and magazines, and make a comeback, using this as an excuse to provoke disputes. We must be wary of their inability to jump over the wall.

All these things, one after another, gradually pushed Li Hongzhang's Beiyang Group to the forefront. Under Empress Dowager Cixi's unshakable attitude, Li Zhongtang had to make a gesture and ordered a military parade of the Beiyang Navy a few days later!

At the same time, the Japanese Ito cabinet was completely forced into a corner!
Chapter completed!
