For a country or a nation to rise, it is necessary to have advanced science and culture. However, when scientific and technological civilization has developed to a certain level, if people's ideology cannot serve scientific and technological civilization, then scientific and technological civilization will find it difficult to develop smoothly. What Tang Yu has to do now is to guide people's ideology to develop along the path of scientific and technological civilization.

In order to guide people's thinking, Tang Yi racked his brains to recall some of his later articles. In the third issue of "Na Han Bao", Tang Yi published an article "My Motherland". This article was basically Tang Yi's own creation. While praising the great achievements of Chinese civilization, it also described the trauma brought to Chinese civilization by foreign invasions, especially mentioning the invasion of the Jiannu people, which would drag Chinese civilization into the abyss of disaster and bring endless shame to Chinese civilization.

As soon as this article was published, it caused a lot of controversy. Although some people who were extremely loyal to Tang Yu did not really understand the meaning of the article, they still blindly supported Tang Yu. As long as Lord Tang said it, they thought it was right. However, some people thought that Tang Yu was exaggerating and they simply did not believe that the small Jian Nu would destroy the Ming Dynasty.

Although Tang Chen was not a person who liked to have the final say, he was not a great man either. He felt somewhat uncomfortable with those who opposed him. Moreover, most of these people were scholars from the Ming Dynasty, so in Tang Chen's eyes, these people were simply a group of corrupt scholars. Therefore, Tang Chen published adapted works of Master Lu Xun such as "Kong Yiji", "The True Story of Ah Q", "My Diary of a Cannibal", and "The Xianglin Sao" in the "Call to Arms" newspaper, and pointed out bluntly in the newspaper that some scholars nowadays are like Kong Yiji and Ah Q, who are conservative, numb, and dream with their eyes closed.

Once these articles were published, they stirred up a hornet's nest. The scholars teaching in Weizhen and the scholars in the nearby Changzhou City were outraged and almost rushed to Tang Xi's house and trampled him a thousand times. Some young scholars who understood what was written in "Na Han Bao" had a change of mind and gradually began to stand on Tang Xi's side.

The soldiers, workers and students under Tang Li were the most affected by him, and there were many more people loyal to him. There were even some soldiers and students who began to fanatically worship Tang Li. If anyone dared to say a word against Tang Li, these people would immediately stand up and denounce him, which made the discussions in the newspaper reading groups gradually full of anger.

Hongniang was a person who hated government officials very much. Even though she had eaten Tang Qi's meals and spent Tang Qi's money, she always felt in her heart that Tang Qi, the official, was not of the same kind as herself. Even though she knew that Mr. Tang was a kind-hearted person, she still felt a gap between them.

Ever since Hongniang joined the school's newspaper reading group, her thinking has gradually changed. She is no longer the one who only knows how to hate the government. She now understands that the people are poor because of their low productivity, the invasion of the Jiannu army, which has increased the burden on the people, and the corruption of the system and ideology, which has led to the tyranny of corrupt officials and the cruel exploitation of landlords. To change all this, we must improve technology and productivity, vigorously develop the economy, change people's thinking, and change the social system so that the people can live a truly happy life.

Tang Qi also specifically pointed out in his article "Records of the Evils of the Jiannu" that the current rebellion of Gao Yingxiang, Li Zicheng, and Zhang Xianzhong was, to a certain extent, aiding the Jiannu in their atrocities. This group of traitors not only prevented the common people from living a good life, but also brought them fatal disasters and made their economic situation worse.

In order to avoid suspicion of rebellion in this article, Tang Yu also deliberately praised the great significance of Zhu Yuanzhang's expulsion of the Yuan people, and praised Zhu Yuanzhang's image to be extremely great. In fact, for the Han people, Zhu Yuanzhang's achievement of expelling the Yuan people was enough to be compared with the Qin Shi Huang and Han Wudi in history, so Tang Yu felt that it was natural for him to praise Zhu Yuanzhang.

It was this article that made Hong Niangzi realize how naive and ignorant she was before. They were a group of rebels without advanced ideas, scientific civilization, and rules and regulations. They brought more disasters to this country and this nation. Although they were not traitors, they were still the eternal sinners of this country and this nation.

From then on, Hongniangzi's view of Tang Qi gradually changed, from rejection to acceptance, and then to admiration for Tang Qi. After Tang Qi's article "Chinese Youth" adapted from Liang Gong's "Chinese Youth" was published in the newspaper, Hongniangzi, like the soldiers and students under Tang Qi's command, had an even stronger look of admiration in her eyes.

The appearance of "Chinese Youth" was like a spring thunder in the land of the Ming Dynasty, which increased the sales of the current issue of "Na Han Bao" by several times. The content of the articles resonated in the hearts of many young readers. From Changzhou to Jinling, and from Jinling to the capital, many young readers came to see it.

Which young man does not have dreams? Which dream is not full of passion? Although those older scholars still criticized Tang Yu's articles, in the hearts of young readers, "China Youth" opened a door to their thoughts. Many young people began to pay attention to "Call to Arms". There were even more than a dozen very passionate young scholars who rushed to Changzhou Weizhen Station from other places and tried their best to find Tang Yu and became the person in charge of "Call to Arms" newspaper.

Although freedom of speech in the Ming Dynasty was not as great as in the Northern Song Dynasty, it was dozens of times freer than in the Qing Dynasty. During the Qianlong reign, the Complete Library in the Four Treasures was compiled, with only 473 books and more than 19,000 volumes included. More than 31,000 books and more than 150,000 volumes were destroyed, and 48 massacres were caused. Since then, all books in the world have been lost. As an ancient scholar lamented: I really don't know whether they were compiling books or destroying them.

Although the "Call to Arms" newspaper was very radical in its ideas, Tang Qi was always very careful in its language. He did not attack the imperial court at all. In many aspects, he even praised the excellent aspects of the Ming Dynasty, such as the economic status of the early Wanli Emperor in the world. Therefore, although those old scholars hated the ideas expressed by Tang Qi in the "Call to Arms", they only criticized him verbally and in writing, but none of them went to the government to complain.

Although Tang Qi always believed that he could not compare with those great men of later generations, he felt a little proud when he saw his gradual achievements. However, as the saying goes, one should not be too proud, or he will be struck by lightning. In a fit of excitement, Tang Qi decided to add fuel to the fire and promote his country and nationalism. So he racked his brains to write an article entitled "My Struggle". This article did its best to publicize the greatness of the Chinese nation and the long history of Chinese civilization, expressed the Han people's intelligence, diligence, bravery, and spirit of superiority, and also expressed his willingness to strive unremittingly for the growing strength of this country and nation.

This article is extremely inspiring and is no less inspiring than the superstitious activities of the Lotus Sect. When Tang Qi wrote it and had not yet published it, Hong Niangzi, the first person to read it, set up a lofty ideal in her heart almost immediately after reading it. This ideal is to help Mr. Tang achieve this goal.

When the manuscript of "My Struggle" was sent to the "Nahan Daily" newspaper, more than a dozen young writers in charge of newspaper affairs were excited after reading it. They wrote several reflections overnight and attached them to the article.

This issue of "Na Han Bao" was published and immediately caused an uproar. The central idea of the article was completely contrary to the ideas of Li Jia and even Confucianism, and completely subverted the traditional ideas of moderation, obedience, and benevolence towards foreigners. How could those old scholars accept it? These people finally couldn't bear it anymore and exploded their anger. Many people regarded the article as a reactionary article and reported it to the government.

This caused a huge stir. More than 20 prefects and governors wrote memorials overnight and reported them to the capital along with the dozen issues of "Na Han Bao". This also alarmed the Jinyiwei. So a summary of everything that had happened to Tang Yu since he was a child was sent to the capital by express horse. The three Jinyiwei who were stationed in Changzhou Weizhen as per convention were also immediately recalled for investigation.

These three spies working in Changzhou Weizhen were young men, serving as soldiers in Tang Qi's army. They would report Tang Qi's secrets truthfully. Later, Tang Qi saw that these three men had good abilities and promoted them to flag generals. They worked as flag generals under Tang Qi and received very high salaries. This made these three men feel close to Tang Qi, and their reports on Tang Qi's secrets became less and less detailed than before. Later, when the "Call to Arms" was published, these three men thought it was a small matter, nothing compared to Tang Qi's previous killing and looting, so they were careless and did not report it.

In fact, their superior Liu Yihu in the Jinyiwei had never taken Tang Yihu seriously before. Even when Tang Yihu had an important piece of information about a powerful breech-loading rifle in his hand, Liu Yihu still regarded it as a musket from the pre-Ming Dynasty and did not take it seriously. As for Tang Yihu's killing and robbery, Tang Yi had the matter settled in the officialdom and also used his connections to give Liu Yihu a place to stay, so naturally Liu Yihu would not think much of it.

Later, the three Jinyiwei spies were influenced by the ideas of the "Call to Arms" newspaper and gradually became Tang Xi's supporters. Naturally, they would not report the information of the "Call to Arms" newspaper to their superiors.

Not to mention what these three Jinyiwei spies would be assigned, one day, after the morning court, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly received an expedited memorial. After frowning, he opened the memorial.
