The propaganda war is not difficult to operate.

After copying one by one, stack them together and then roll them up. They can be stuffed into bamboo tubes and hollowed out logs, or they can be hidden flat in a carriage or sandwiched in a tent.

There are countless ways to hide, just a little thought.

But if it's bamboo slips, it's over... It's not that bamboo slips can't be hidden. In fact, most bamboo slips where paper can be hidden are also OK.

The problem is that the mezzanine, the bamboo tube, and one or two bamboo slips are almost enough.

Cannot bring much means it is difficult to form a group effect.

Then Shen Bing let the soldiers disguise themselves as Chu Min, carrying these flyers into the Chu Realm.

Originally, Shen Bing wanted to spend a little bit to let Chu Min do this.

It is not difficult to achieve this. After the Qin Army occupied Huaibei and harvested a large area of ​​land, it also acquired a large number of Chu citizens, and these Chu citizens could be used by the Qin Army.

All that is needed is to spend a small amount of money and then use his family as the hostage... During this period, it is common for people to be hostage. After any friendly relations between countries are established, the prince is the hostage.

However, Shen Bing sent someone to the Chu Realm to conduct a reconnaissance and found that it seemed unnecessary.

The reason is that Chu's household registration management is very chaotic. For example, the household registration system of the three tribes of Zhao, Qu, and Jing is not integrated. Of course, this will not be integrated. The respective fiefs are private property, including the common people, so there is no need to combine the household registration with other nobles. Integrate together.

This will cause a series of problems.

For example, people under the management of the Qu clan want to go to the Zhao clan to do business, and the Zhao clan suspects that he is an agent of the Qin state and wants to check his household registration and other details, so he must go to the Qu clan to check.

Even the investigation of the Qu clan is not enough, because after the Qu clan has no such person, there is no guarantee that he is a member of the Jing clan, and then the Dou clan, Cheng clan, Ban clan, Sun clan.

All of them have not been checked, and it seems that it is still impossible to prove that he is a Qin, because there are still evacuated residents in the Huaibei area. Where can I check this household registration?

From this we can see the advantages of the Qin Dynasty system of prefectures and counties at this time.

Its national household registration is integrated in a system. As long as you report who you are, you can search from county to county. If there is someone, you can find it. It's clear at a glance whether it is a spy.

The State of Chu did not have such a strict household registration system, so the investigation of outsiders could only stop at the level of "listening to their words and watching their deeds."

All inspections and transmissions are false, and it is passed with a glance.

It was mainly to question where it came from, and then searched for weapons.

What the Chu army was most worried about was that spies who had hidden weapons came in, and the inside and outside were combined to seize the city.

If you don't have weapons... what big waves can you turn out?So it passed with one eye closed.

These "spies" sent by Shen Bing were all without weapons, and then brought a few authentic Chu Min guides to find a suitable excuse and easily entered the city.

These people started activities that night.

To be precise, it was not that night, but the moment when the curfew was lifted...

In order to facilitate management during a state of war, all countries will implement a curfew.

Pasting flyers on the wall during the curfew is dangerous and meaningless: as soon as they are posted, they will be spotted by the soldiers on patrol, and then torn up before dawn, whether they are posted or not.

But at the moment when the curfew was lifted, the soldiers and roadblocks on the street had been evacuated, and the people on the street were scarce. No one found anyone posting flyers everywhere on the street.

Even at the crowded market entrance, people sprinkled leaflets from high-rise buildings down, and they fell all over the ground like snowflakes.

What's worse is that these flyers are written on paper.

You must know that a piece of paper in Chu is worth thirty dollars, six kilograms of rice.

Even if the back of the written one can barely be used, a discount can be worth eight or ten dollars.

So isn't this just spending money from the sky?

Immediately there were Chu people looting everywhere, and soon those people who were still lying in bed in the house came out to rob.

After looting, they will naturally look through the content. The simple pictures on it are clear and easy to understand. Many Chu people can understand at a glance... As long as they go to the Huaihe River and descend to Qin, they can have land and houses, and they will give out farm tools to live a good life.

This is a remarkable thing for Chu Min.

One of the reasons why Qin was able to unify the six countries was to give the people certain power.

For example, by gaining military merit in combat, you can be promoted to become a landlord and even become a nobleman.

Even if you do not work as soldiers and farm at home, because of the county system implemented by the Qin State, the management rights of the people are taken into the state rather than the private property of the nobles...

On the surface, there is no difference between the state and the nobles, and the people have no power.

But when you think about it in detail, the difference is big.

Noble private ownership is also a slave to the noble. The noble will do whatever you want, even depriving you of life.

But state-owned... that is the emperor far away from the mountain, there is only one emperor, and those people in the palace are almost waiting, he will not dangle in front of you every day, screaming and letting you work or even killing you.

If the people have any responsibility to the nobles, it is to pay taxes, so they are more free and more powerful.

The people of Chu State didn't know this before.

This may be weird, but it's not surprising at all.

Because the kings of Chu and the nobles knew that it was no good for them to let the people know these things. Just like Wei, the people of the neighboring Qin country once knew the Qin system and fled to Qin.

So Wei Guo has only two choices:

Either reform itself like the Qin State, or wait for the people to become less and less waiting to destroy the country.

Wei State made reforms, but could not keep up with Qin State, and eventually destroyed the country.

The State of Chu was unable to carry out reforms for its own reasons, and was the least reformed of the seven countries, so it had to choose the third way: blocking news.

Blocking news is very easy to do in this era of extremely backward communications, and occasionally a few businessmen say things that shouldn't be said... just catch it, and businessmen who come later will not dare to talk too much.

So the people lived in confusion, and the princes and nobles continued to drink and eat meat.

If it weren't for Qin's attack, Chu's situation would continue.

But the State of Qin came to attack, and not only did he come, but also Shen Bing.

Shen Bing only needs to ask the people of Chu in Shouchun, and he immediately knows that the information between Qin and Chu is extremely asymmetry...Most of the people in Chu are ignorant of Qin's superior system.

Or even if you know some, it's just a dubious rumor.

Then Shen Bing knew what to do.

Paper, why not use such a good propaganda tool?

This thing is the best, most convenient and cheapest publicity tool in this era.

What does it mean to own and monopolize this propaganda tool?

Means having the right to speak!
