Chapter 040: Settlement
Zhu Youxiao said everything to this point. If Li Jinzhong is not sober, it will be hopeless. As a eunuch who has common interests with the emperor, Li Jinzhong also regained his thoughts and began to concentrate on doing things for the emperor.
Li Jinzhong came to the East Factory prison and tortured Wang An. Wang An knew that he could not survive. No matter how hard Li Jinzhong tortured him, he refused to express any words, which made Li Jinzhong furious and went into battle himself. He was both a hot iron and a fierce whip. All kinds of tortures were used on Wang An, but they still had no effect.
"Haha! Haha! Even if I, Wang An, die, you will never be able to have a good time." Wang An, who had been tortured to death, suddenly burst into laughter in a low voice, and then a stream of blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
"Man, he bit his tongue and committed suicide." After inspecting the Qianhu, the East Factory, who was in charge of Xing Prison, reported to Li Jinzhong.
"You're cheap, just deal with him!" Li Jinzhong was in a bad mood, and then returned to the palace nervously to report to the emperor.
"Forget it, it's okay. There is no difference between Wang An and him or not. Can I still guess those hiding behind?" Zhu Youxiao knew it. It's really not a big difference whether he could ask. He just couldn't lock in the mouse shits of the core of the Donglin Party in detail.
"I have something more important to you." Zhu Youchao said to Li Jinzhong.
"Please tell me." Li Jinzhong listened attentively, and Zhu Youxiao said: "I want to set up a special ideological education department to train instructors."
Zhu Youzhao General asked to tell Li Jinzhong that he was actually setting up a department specifically responsible for brainwashing.
Brainwashing is a profound science. Sometimes people who are brainwashed don’t even know that they have been brainwashed. Just as young people in later generations knew the word “brainwashing” before joining the army, but they entered the army and were not only successfully brainwashed, but also insisted on claiming that they were not brainwashed. The instructor said, we did not brainwash. Your brain is so smart, can anyone wash it?
The so-called brainwashing means putting forward opinions and then persuading logically. In the process of persuasion, you need to instill unique values, worldviews, and outlook on life.
Three views are the support point for logical persuasion.
If a person is to be brainwashed in distortedly, then it is necessary to quote strange views. The richer a person's experience (including the accumulation of concepts), the stronger the person's ability to distinguish consciousness will be, and they will intercept these false and unhealthy information, so that this information will not enter the subconscious mind.
The subconscious mind is a place without discernment ability. It is responsible for processing emotional information. It requires the main consciousness to act as a "goalkeeper" to judge the information.
Just like people of different ages look at the Meteor Garden, different results will be produced. Older people face a large amount of unrealistic information, which is filtered out in an adult's consciousness. Because of the large number, the consciousness issues a warning to claim that the information sent by the information source is unhealthy information, which causes adults (only referring to rich experience). Many students lack experience, causing overloaded information contained in it to enter the subconscious mind, causing emotional fluctuations, and intentionally arranged information has a hypnotic effect, which makes many students fall in love with this drama wholeheartedly.
Generally, those who are brainwashed are basically young people. Some people take advantage of the young people's dissatisfaction with the current social situation and then point the culprit at their enemies, thereby inciting various incitement. Just like the revolutionary party of Sun Dapao in modern times, in order to overthrow the Beiyang government, they take advantage of the young people's dissatisfaction with the current situation and then target the Beiyang government to carry out various attacks.
At this time, the merchant groups in Jiangnan and the Donglin Party they raised often did such things.
What went wrong here? I immediately put a shit pot on the emperor's head. It was caused by the emperor's stupidity. What happened there? Oh! It was caused by the emperor's extravagance and massive tax increase.
Anyway, the emperor is an open target, and anyone can shoot a few arrows.
Even the officials of the Donglin Party are actually brainwashed in this way. The most serious thing about brainwashing is values, they talk all day long, want to hide wealth from the people, save money, etc. But when it comes to opening up sources, they look difficult to speak out.
The merchant class began to brainwash cultural elements, and then cultural elements brainwashed the emperor, thus achieving the goal of controlling imperial power.
Zhu Youxiao naturally needs to make things right, so he also needs a brainwashing department.
Previously, Zhu Youxiao established a teaching team in the army, which was a very hasty product.
This time, Zhu Youxiao made sufficient preparations, personally compiled various textbooks, and formulated a systematic brainwashing theory. However, his brainwashing theory was not based on deception, but on facts, and the success rate of brainwashing was extremely high.
Zhu Youxiao first drew a world map according to memory and wrote a book called "World Geography", which included all five continents and seven oceans, and highlighted the vast and fertile land and oceans outside China. This is for building a complete worldview and broadening horizons.
Zhu Youxiao also proposed the "Han nationalism" to influence values and outlook on life. For this reason, Zhu Youxiao has begun to make people revise the more straightforward "A Brief History of the Han Nationalities", focusing on describing the advanced nature of the Han nationalities and various blood and tears in history, arousing people's pride and indignation for barbaric civilization. He then instills the value of "national interests are above everything else". In terms of outlook on life, it is also discussed around the "Han nationalism".
At the same time, the idea of loyalty to the emperor was put forward, and the idea that "the Ming Dynasty won the most correct world". Compared with those dynasties in history, the Zhu family won the world was indeed the most upright, and used the process of founding the country in history to discuss it, thus reaching the idea that "the Ming Dynasty royal family represents the orthodox Han Dynasty". It also put forward the idea that "the Zhu family is still loyal to the people" and discusses it, based on countless sources, such as light taxation, etc.
Finally, we will discuss the bad situation and find out the culprit. What exactly caused the current military failure of the Ming Dynasty and the internal people were in trouble? By discussing the commodity economy and national taxation, we will target the private businessmen who are crazy about poaching the national fences.
On this point, Zhu Youxiao personally compiled textbooks and quoted many Marx's discussions on capital.
Thus clarify the facts and find the target.
The brainwashing contents involved in these textbooks include world outlook, values, outlook on life, and also discuss the current situation. As long as it can be popularized, it can achieve the effect of "remedy the chaos" and "prescribe the right medicine" to the serious problems of the current "confusion of thought" in the Ming Dynasty.
As long as more and more people accept this set of ideas and eventually become mainstream, they can "return the world to one another".
The workload of editing textbooks was a bit large, so Zhu Youzhao needed help. Li Jinzhong quickly took action and selected several eunuchs with high education in Neishutang and started editing textbooks together.
At the same time, the "Ministry of Political Science and Education" was established, and eunuchs were selected from the inner study room for study. At the same time, officers with a certain level of culture were selected from the Tengxiang and Wuxiang Cavalry Divisions to study.
During this period, the cultural lessons of the Cavalry Division have been in progress, and the number of soldiers who read literacy every day has increased. This also concerns whether these soldiers can become essential conditions for the superior corps. To become superior corps, one must have a certain degree of culture, and the number of literacy must reach one thousand commonly used characters.
The first version of the "Pinyin Dictionary" compiled by Neishutang has also been completed. Although it is not very perfect, it has greatly facilitated the soldiers' self-study of culture. At the same time, punctuation marks have been popularized in the textbooks for soldiers to learn culture.
Such ideological indoctrination was always under the hands of Confucian literati. But now this set of ideas has been transformed into a shackle on imperial power by the Donglin Party, which has led to a situation of ideological confusion. Zhu Youxiao's own ideological indoctrination system was to deprive Confucian of hegemony in ideological indoctrination.
