There are many things that were not obviously good or evil when they were invented, and even because some problems were solved at that time, they would be more favorable.

For example, newspapers.

Newspapers in another world are very backward and simple due to various objective conditions, whether in content, style, distribution, etc. When the first day of the lunar calendar was born, its purpose was very simple, which was to convey some important things, or rules and regulations to the general public.

But later, when the superiors discovered that this inconspicuous thing actually had the auxiliary functions of educating the people, guiding public opinion, covering up the truth, etc., it became uncontrollable. People always seek profit and avoid harm. The higher the status, the more this is, because at that level, the interests involved will become huge. Now it is just a small page on the newspaper, just a few hundred words. Such a small cost can successfully play an unexpected role, so why not do it?

...

In recent times, various places in Bran, especially northern cities, have been agreed upon, and have praised the deeds of the blasphemers being purified.

Justice defeats evil, this kind of plot is mainstream no matter which time and space is in. Because everyone thinks that they are the party to justice, and with a sense of substitution, they will naturally look refreshed.

But just as the whole empire was in a state of joy and harmony, the "mouse shit" that ruined the soup finally appeared. And as soon as it appeared, it quickly swept across the north of Bran with wildfire.

"For the second time, the Northern Military Office organized 50,000 regular soldiers who attacked the gray-clothed army, and died in the middle of the journey. The entire army was wiped out."

This news was still released in the propaganda poster of the gray-clothed army, with regular soldiers wearing Bran-style armor painted. Under the attack of civilians dressed in civilians behind, they either raised their hands in panic and surrendered, or threw away their armor in fear, and fled in the wind...

Immediately afterwards, various gossips spread and spread in various stalls, taverns, etc.

"Have you heard about it? What happened recently..."

"What? Purify the blasphemer?"

"Where, that's all outdated." The speaker looked around and lowered his voice. "Bran's fifty thousand regular soldiers were defeated by the gray-clothed army again!"

"Scared, is this happening?"

"Of course, I also heard that the person who led the troops this time was actually a nobleman who was ignorant and knew how to talk about soldiers on paper. Alas, all the 50,000 soldiers were destroyed in his hands..."

"Grass, this bastard!"

"Bastard? There are even more muscular people. I heard that the nobles fled under the escort of their own soldiers, and they were frightened all the way. When they saw the shrubs and trees on the hillside next to the road, they thought they were gray-clothed soldiers, so scared that they were so scared... For this reason, the bards even made up a special word, called "Grass and Trees."

"Damn..."

...

A tavern,

"Have you heard of it?"

"I heard that Bran was defeated again with fifty thousand regular soldiers."

"Oh, then do you know some details inside?"

"Uh? If you lose, you will lose. What else is the inside story... Well, are you talking about that noble bastard? Didn't the newspaper refute the rumors?"

"Newspaper, hum. You believe what you said above? Well, but this time it was not said... I heard that the regular soldiers should not be defeated in such a crushing defeat in this battle, but those soldiers could not bear to take action when facing the civilians holding farm tools and eventually turned against each other!"

"Ah... No wonder the two attacks were not successful, so there was no way to fight."

"Yes, I think this gray-clothed army is indeed amazing. The regular soldiers, who were almost 100,000 in total, attacked in turn, but they were unable to take them down."

"I'm afraid it's going to change!"

...

The staff of the Cultural and Propaganda Departments in various cities already have the responsibility of collecting field trips. Now that rumors are everywhere, they are naturally the first to notice. On the one hand, they urgently refute rumors, and on the other hand, they pass on various news to the Northern Military Office.

In the conference hall of the Northern Military Office, the bosses from various departments looked at the mountains of reports piled up on the table, such as "turning against the enemy", "talking about war on paper", "soldiers and plants are all soldiers" and so on... they were all speechless.

To be honest, they were also wronged. Yes, this time, the 50,000 regular soldiers were defeated. But that was defeated in a head-on confrontation. As the saying goes, victory and defeat are common in military affairs. How could it be so big now? And what happened to the nobles leading the troops? If it was the first battle, they would have accepted it. At that time, they did underestimate the gray-clothed army, and some nobles who were gilded into the army. But later they learned the lesson and realized the form a little. How could they still do such a crime against the wind?

"Shameless, slander!"

"What do these untouchables want to do?"

"I think it's just a matter of seeking death. I really want to transfer tens of thousands of people from the front line to destroy them!"

"These propaganda halls are all waste, and they can't suppress these rumors."

...

After a while, the conference hall suddenly became lively. All the giants were slapping the table, their fat and big-eared faces were full of redness, and they scolded them angrily.

Gradually, the propaganda halls in various cities were also caught in the attack. Now these bigwigs have chosen to forget that when the army was first defeated, they learned that the gray-clothed army had not made any publicity for many days, so they ordered the blockade of the news.

Of course, no matter how much you scold, things will always need to be resolved.

First of all, it is unrealistic to transfer people back from various legions on the front line. Not to mention whether the legion marshal would miss them, just say that the front line is now tight, and the offensive of the wild tribe is better than one wave like a tide. If people are really transferred back, it will be a good thing and lead to a collapse in the entire line. They will not be able to bear this responsibility.

Then the giants discussed and decided to put down the responsibility with tacit decisions. Through the military system, they ordered the propaganda departments of northern cities to suppress the rumors. However, rumors like the leaders of the nobles, the military defeated the war could not be suppressed. After all, the scale of 50,000 people is not small. From gathering to entering the 100,000 mountains, they always have to pass through several cities. In fact, there were doubts in this area before, but that was only a small-scale, and they used the blasphemy incident to cover up.

Then he ordered the security halls of each city to dig out the gray-clothed rioters in the city and then make a high-profile trial. At this time, a giant came up with an idea to make the famous General Bovis be responsible for this matter, and finally passed it unconditionally.

Finally, we naturally focused on preparing for the next encirclement and suppression. The previous two failures made them no longer dare to underestimate the gray-clothed army. However, during the preparation stage, there were only so many ideas that could come up with, just to create a general who could conquer and fight, more soldiers, and then carry more advanced equipment, siege equipment, etc.

...

The special situation in another world originally determined that the superstructure of the Bran Empire was greater than that of Wen. Moreover, it was still in the war period, and the Northern Armed Services had great power. Now it was shifting the responsibility and suppressing the administrative agencies of cities in various places were suddenly in distress.

Especially the Publicity Department, they reported these news, hoping that the Northern Military Office could come up with an idea. If it doesn’t work, you can come up with a general outline. But now, you can just solve it yourself and send them away. And if this is not resolved well, you will still be punished... Isn’t this a scam? You said you wanted to block it before, but now things are getting big, and you blame them for not wiping their butts...

However, the officials at all levels of the Propaganda Department were unable to do so. They were the first to crush people to death. They had to pinch their noses and respond while cursing the pigs in the Northern Military Office. Then they summoned all the personnel in the hall and ordered them to come up with a solution.

What ideas can these little leaders at the bottom come up with? It’s not that they are all helping waste. It’s because they have lost the opportunity to speak, and the situation outside is now a foregone conclusion. No matter what they say, they will not be believed, and will only become a laughing stock...

On the other hand, compared with the staff of the Publicity Department who were worried about the white hair, the Security Department was not having a good time. Arrest the propaganda staff of the gray-clothed army? What a joke? This is not to follow the picture. It is difficult to find dozens of people who don’t know what they look like among the urban population of more than 100,000. This is enough to make people desperate just thinking about it. And isn’t this always done? If it works, it won’t make this happen.

However, if we say that there are many people, the power is great, in a short while, some cities came up with the countermeasures. They were beaten up and beaten up, and soon many "gray-clothed chaotic people" took the initiative to confess their crimes. Although this could not stop the gray-clothed army from continuing to promote, they finally had an explanation for the above. Look, we have been working hard and caught "gray-clothed chaotic people" every day...

As for Bovis, the officials of the Northern Military Office who were appointed had encountered a "nail" that was neither soft nor hard...

Bovis and Bernie are smart. Before they could warm up the chairs in the security hall when they arrived in Shanxi City, they knew what the Gray-Clothed Army had done. Then without saying a word, they led the cavalry out to sweep away the black forces in the city that night. Then, during the battle, they were accidentally injured and bravely moved into the treatment hall.

After the official arrived at Shanxi City and found the treatment hall, Bowes and Bernie, who were wrapped in mummy, struggled to get up on the hospital bed, blaming themselves for being too careless and unable to continue to serve the empire now. This is a pity, etc.

The official was dizzy when he was crying loudly, and his heart was so swollen that he kept nodding and comforting him until he left the city gate that he found that he was still holding the appointment in his hand. He could not do so, so he had to go back and report his life in a bad mood.

...

For a moment, the north fell into chaos because of the sudden outbreak of news. Now the front line is still fighting, so the empire naturally cannot sit idly by and watch the chaos continue to expand. So various undercurrents slowly rolled under the tide... either exert force to cut off the source, so that the tide would completely calm down. Or become a helper, pushing the tide to a climax again.
