Genshin Impact: A Red Teyvat Life Starting from Zero

Jiang Ming roughly explained to Xin Hai that Haiqi Island and the Fools were destined to have little room for cooperation for a long time. The two sides were almost destined to be enemies.

At least a large part of them are hostile.

It cannot be ruled out that the two sides may reach an agreement on certain issues, but this matter needs to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.

Ultimately, the fundamental goals and interests of both sides are in conflict; as the saying goes, those who walk different paths cannot make plans together.

The methods used by the Fools are also unacceptable.

Haiqi Island cannot negotiate or cooperate with these neurotic terrorists who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals. On the contrary, it must be highly vigilant against these neurotic terrorists, lest they suddenly turn on you one day.

You agree, right, Liyue?

"I see."

Xin Hai nodded, indicating his understanding.

The term "neurotic terrorists who will stop at nothing to achieve their goals" was a phrase Xin Hai had never heard before, but it was indeed a very apt description of the Fools.

Xin Hai felt that the Fools were indeed capable of doing these things.

"Now there is another problem. With so much work, we need to find a reliable team led by an outstanding person. We will have to trouble you to make a careful selection."

"I understand. I will arrange that."

Jiang Ming did consider transferring Iwasaki Masashi directly, but since progress had just been made on Inazuma Castle's side, it was still most appropriate for Iwasaki Masashi to maintain relations with all parties.

While they were discussing how to proceed with the next steps on Umijima Island, the editorial team from Umijima Island successfully arrived at Inazuma Castle.

After a night's rest, I went straight to work the next day.

Soon, people discovered that Yaedo had added a new company called Yaesha.

Yaedo no longer sells just the "Light Novel Weekly" newspaper; it now offers nearly ten different types of newspapers and magazines.

Narukami Daily, Inazuma Evening News, First-line Observation, Life Journal...

Jiang Ming used all the names he could think of that were reasonably suitable, creating a large enough number of aliases.

Of these, the Narukami Daily is directly operated by Yaesha, while the other newspapers are published by their respective tabloids.

These small newspapers appear to have no connection with Yaesha on the surface, and some even have official documents from their editors proving their independent operation and merely a cooperative relationship with Yaesha and Yaedo. However, the actual people in charge are Yae Shinko and Iwasaki Tadashi, the investor is Yaesha, and they even share the same office location.

Several small newspapers even engaged in cross-shareholding.

The parties involved are in a new type of relationship that is both ambiguous and perfectly innocent.

To gain a comprehensive understanding, a thorough investigation is necessary.

Even in the information age, there are certain barriers to entry, let alone Inazuma's current level.

It might be possible for high-ranking officials and some large families, but ordinary people shouldn't even think about it.

The angle of the content has already been determined based on the different names.

Anyway, they'll shoot the arrow first and then draw the target. No matter which angle you approach it from, they'll analyze it logically and arrive at the conclusion that Haigi Island wants.

Thus, with Kujo Takayuki's attention, several major newspapers began to publish articles about Yaedo.

Of course, this time, Kujo Takayuki learned his lesson and disposed of all paper documents within the Tenryo magistrate's office in secret.

But it's okay, the assist last time was already great enough.

Light Novel Weekly has its own built-in audience, and through Yaedo, it automatically drives traffic.

Initially, these newspapers did not show any problems.

The Narukami Daily News regularly publishes important events in Inatsume, some policies of the shogunate, and some commentary on them.

Overall, it's fairly fair. (From the perspective of the Nine Filial Piety Principles)

The others include stories about the lives of ordinary people in Inazuma, stories about military affairs during the shogunate, stories about festivals, stories about daily life in society, and stories that broaden one's horizons through storytelling.

There's nothing wrong with that!

However, since Yae no Miko was involved, Kujo Takayuki would not let his guard down.

Who knows if this vixen is plotting something wicked!

As time went on, a small detachment from the Coral Palace retreated ten miles after clashing with the shogunate army on the border.

Conflicts were rare and commonplace, and the retreat was specifically instructed by Xin Hai.

Before the news even reached Kujo Jinya from the front lines, several major newspapers in Inatsuma Castle began to report it extensively.

Chapter 19 The Theory of Umijima's Collapse: Kujo Takayuki Wins Hands

First is the Narukami Daily, which has a relatively formal positioning.

The Shogunate army achieved its first victory; how vast was the gap between Umijima and the Shogunate?

The article begins with the victory achieved by the shogunate army, then compares the strengths of both sides, and concludes that Umijima Island is no match for the shogunate.

Secondly, there are those "independent" tabloids, which are far less sophisticated than the Narukami Daily.

Their mission is to attract attention and gain people's interest.

Expressing emotions and inciting conflict is always the best way to gain traffic.

Their titles include, but are not limited to:

Shocking! The army on Umijima Island collapsed at the first encounter; an insider from the Shogunate army revealed: The advantage was on our side!

Haegeima Island is heading towards destruction, but life is heading towards a better future.

The valiant shogunate army is approaching its loyal Sangokushima Palace.

Lacking food, manpower, and weapons, the island of Kaigi will soon collapse on its own! The Shogunate army may win without a fight.

The Coral Palace, which brought about its own destruction, has lost everything, even the Heavenly Commander.

Kujo Takayuki: "..."

what?

What happened?

I just took a nap, and now I'm all numb?

How come I didn't know I had won?

what?

He was practically going numb just looking at that headline!

No, you reporters are always thinking about creating some big news. If your reports go wrong in the future, you'll be held responsible, you know that?!

"And you claim to have inside information from within the Shogunate army? Where did you get this inside information from? Huh?"

I haven't received any news yet, what have I told you?

Kujo Takayuki always felt that there was something sinister about this matter.

The good news is that Yae no Miko and Kamisato Ayato's arrangements over the past few days have been finalized.

The bad news is that he is still unsure of his purpose.

Yae no Miko and Kamisato Ayato have likely ended up with Sangokami.

These newspapers must all be connected to Coral Palace and must be working to achieve some goal of Coral Palace, but he doesn't know what it is.

"Someone, quickly find out what happened at the front!"

To further understand the other party's purpose, it is necessary to investigate the matter thoroughly first.

This time, the shogunate army no longer used the usual information transmission method, but instead received an urgent order personally approved by Kujo Takayuki.

The top moves his mouth, the bottom runs and breaks his legs.

The messenger rushed to Kujou's camp, only to find that Kujou's camp was also completely baffled.

Replace them and move on to the front lines.

On the way, they encountered a messenger from the front lines who was reporting to Kujo Jinya, and only then did they realize that the so-called first battle was nothing more than a trivial skirmish.

There have been at least eight or ten such conflicts in the past month.

The so-called victory was just a brief encounter; they exchanged a few blows with their weapons, and then the Sea God Army retreated immediately.

This maneuver confused the Shogunate troops at the front lines, who, fearing an ambush, withdrew as well.

He then dispatched a messenger to Kujo-jinya to report the situation and inquire about the next steps.

However, the situation is now beyond what Kujo Jinya can handle.

The news quickly reached the Heavenly Commander.

"It's that simple?"

"Yes, that's the report from the front."

"No, that's not right. You tell the front lines to investigate and report back! They need to be quick."

"Yes!"

After seeing the person off, Kujo Takayuki looked at the exaggerated newspapers on the table and fell into deep thought.

He actually felt that the reports from the front lines were correct, but he wanted to double-check them out of caution.

So the question now is, what is the purpose of making such a big deal out of such a trivial matter?

Despite his discomfort with the exaggerated content, Kujo Takayuki carefully read the articles.

He actually discovered the problem.

Although the content and perspectives are different, they share some similarities.

Without exception, all these articles mentioned that food was the biggest problem on Umijima Island, determining its fate; the second problem was the lack of weapons, which prevented them from fighting against the shogunate army.

In every single one of the stories, Umijima (Sea Island) is destined for collapse. The only questions are whether it will collapse on its own or be driven to collapse by the shogunate army.

Having discovered this, the nine acts of filial piety, after a moment's thought, suddenly understood.
