Chapter 294 The Civil War(1/2)

Indeed, nothing is fairer than drawing lots.

At least in this era when most of the bottom illiterate, if you want to avoid them being fooled by the gentry, you can only draw lots...

Of course, it's mainly simple.

It is impossible to engage in large-scale elections in this era.

Especially Wang Yue's method, which is basically close to universal suffrage, is even more exaggerated. Even if it does not include the Southern Song Dynasty and Jingdong East Road, it must be conservatively estimated that nearly 20 million people will participate. So many people vote and count votes and prevent fraud. This kind of add up to the conditions of this era is simply a joke. Don't compare the elections of the British in the 17th century. There were only a few British people with the right to vote in the 17th century, which was land binding. Only gentry whose land amount reached the standard was eligible for election.

There are not many towns.

They were sitting in a four-wheeled carriage and taking bodyguards to the parliament to decide the fate of the country for the poor.

The standard for having the right to vote in the early days of America was very simple, with at least dozens of acres of arable land and one hundred acres of reclaimable land with ownership.

One acre is six acres.

How many voters can elect after such screening?

Wang Yue's method is destined to be impossible to vote under the current conditions. The simplest, most effective and fairest way is to send 10,000 cavalrymen, then go to each county, and gather four adult men in the county town to gather together. How much can they be summoned? If you don't go, you will drive them away with a spear. Finally, you will get a box based on the number of people present and draw lots on site.

Whoever catches it is counted as whoever is.

Of course, first of all, you have no criminal record.

After being elected, they were directly escorted by cavalry. During this period, they were not allowed to contact any outsiders, at least not before leaving their state capital.

It was sent to the capital.

This is the best way to elect under the current conditions.

As for fairness...

The greatest fairness is to let them come.

Besides, if the final result of the election is really necessary, it will definitely be a financial effort. The gentry will easily spend money to solve the problem. Although it is very likely to cheat during the lottery, such as bribing those who go there, these are ultimately within the control of Wang Yue. For example, sending spies to mingle among the people, such as placing crazy believers among soldiers, such as encouraging or rewarding informants, a team of 100 cavalry, each of the gentry bribed 100 guan, and then he rewarded the report for a thousand guan.

This is within the controllable range.

Moreover, after these people arrived in the capital, they first gathered together for training...

Well, Wang Yue plans to complete the establishment of the Fourth People's Congress before the end of this year, and to capture the great painter, at least next year. What he needs before is to let his representatives from Hebei publicize his ideas as much as possible to the representatives from other places. He can even organize them and let them visit Hebei, which is not far away anyway, and then let these people go back to serve as his spark for publicity.

He has to prepare fire for places like Hedong, Shaanxi, and these places have to be solved.

As for Zhao Huan...

What else can His Majesty the Emperor do? Is he qualified to say no?

Immediately afterwards, this edict, which is equivalent to the Great Song Dynasty version of the human declaration, was sent to all parts of the country. In order to take care of the illiterate people, the king of Zhongshan also organized a propaganda team, and happened to follow the cavalry who chose representatives of the four people to go to various places to promote the edict at the same time.

In short, the king continued to ignore the Shandong resistance army, continued to forget his bold words that were furious for the beauty, and completely devoted himself to the establishment of the Four People's Congress...

Zhenjiang.

"It's getting more and more nonsense!"

The great painter said with a gloomy face as he looked at the edict in his hand.

"The official family, this traitor has finally revealed his true form. He wants to recommend it with public opinion to avoid the reputation of usurping the throne."

Cai You said.

He is still in women's clothing now.

He said that he would never change his clothes before he was avenged.

But he seems to be more happy. In recent years, he has been living in the harem of a great painter and has obviously lived a very happy life.

"He is a smart man. He is too delusional just to avoid usurping the throne. You must know that loyalty is loyalty, and treacherous is treacherous. No matter how he makes a lot of tricks, as long as I am still there, he is just a traitor. He still wants to judge me with the Four People's Congress? Let a group of mud legs, craftsmen and merchants judge the emperor? It's a joke, and he is not afraid of making laughs from the world!"

The great painter said.

While speaking, he was in a happy mood to add a touch to the painting in front of him.

"Does Your Majesty also issue an order to denounce them? They can all say that Your Majesty is treason? If we don't speak here, it would make people feel that we are in a disadvantage. What's more, the official's move is betrayal of the ancestors and the country. The great Song Dynasty was led by Taizu Taizong, and he had no final say. This country is the country of the Zhao family. As a descendant of the Zhao family, he should be careful in this country. Now, under the temptation of the treacherous ministers, he openly said that the country is not from the Zhao family, so this is betrayal of the ancestors, which is disobedience and unfilial."

Cai You said.

The great painter immediately stopped and carried his pen to make a contemplative look.

"If so, I'll tear my face."

Gao Qiu said.

Indeed, this is a blatant declaration of war.

"If you tear apart, you tear apart. Now we have a army of 300,000, are you still afraid that he will not succeed? What's more, even if it is not the case, Wang Yue convenes the Four People's Congress and convicts the Emperor at that time. Can't we still endure it? Since he does this, he will wait until the Four People's Congress is over and then go south to war with us under the banner of public opinion. But he will not take action before this, and he will definitely take action after this. If this is the case, why should we bear it?

They should be justified, and we should be justified.

They dare to convict the emperor, why can't we convict the officials the same?

According to my servants, why don’t the emperor summon the royal family from all over the country and expel the official family from the Zhao family in the name of Taizu Taizong, and then the emperor restored the throne and ordered the world. In this way, we are justified."

Cai You said.

He is now used to calling himself a slave.

"Yes, what Mr. Cai said is that they said the emperor was treason, so we said that the government was disobedient!"

Qin Hui said excitedly.

The core of the great painters now is these guys.

Cai You, Gao Qiu, Tan Zhen, Qin Hui, Shi Rugang, and Yuwen Cuizhong couldn't stand these guys who had resigned from their posts under illness. There was also Li Bangyan who fled south together. Although he was from the north, he knew that there was no good result for staying, so he fled south, and there was Song Huan.

These are basically based on Cai You. Although Cai You is still a palace maid, although Tong Taishi has come, he is no longer trusted and is just an envoy to communicate with the north and south.

"The son is no longer a son, and the father is no longer a father?"

The great painter sighed.

"Your Majesty, King Kang is here."

Shi Rugang hurriedly walked to him and whispered.

The great painter raised his head and looked at Zhao Jiumei behind him with a loving look on his face...

"Dad, I don't want the child to see Dad again!"

The latter roared and rushed to his feet, holding his legs in a state of silence.

"Good kid, I don't want you brothers to have more than 20. You are the only one who can share your worries for your father. Dad didn't see it before. If I had known that there was a good kid like you, Dad wouldn't have let the world fall to such a level. Dad was confused!"

The great painter said lovingly.

"Dad, it's enough for a child to share his worries for his father!"

Zhao Jiumei said crying.

What a picture of a kind father and a filial son.

Zhao Jiumei was scared last time. After a group of naval troops transporting military supplies arrived, he immediately boarded the ship and ran south. As for Shandong, there has been no war so far, the Changsheng Army stationed in Changqing occasionally went around and took a walk outside Jinan. However, here he made news about great victory for Quan Bangyan from time to time. In short, the news spread among the people in Jiangnan was that the loyal ministers and righteous men in Jinan had been tenaciously resisting Wang Ni for half a year, and during this period he killed more than 100,000 rebels.

Anyway, the local officials and gentry said so.

Quan Bangyan was bragged by them like Zhang Xun of the Song Dynasty.

"King Kang fought the bloody battle with the thief alone for nearly a year, and he really has the legacy of Emperor Taizong!"

Qin Hui said with a smile.

He and King Kang are in the same group. Before Zhao Jiumei could ask herself to go north, he had already set his sights on this prince.

"Good boy!"

The great painter patted his son's shoulder with emotion.

His son continued to hold his legs...

"But Kyuro has to do something for his father."

The great painter said.

"Dad, please tell me that the child will do it for the work of the father even if he goes through fire and water!"

Zhao Jiumei said.

"Jiulang has to go on an envoy to the Jin Kingdom for his father."

The great painter said slowly.

Zhao Gou suddenly stiffened, and the people around him quickly lowered their heads. Even Qin Hui lowered his head and looked a little weird.

The great painter kept smiling and patted his son gently on the shoulders...

"Dad, when will the boy set off?"

Zhao Jiumei lowered her head and said in a calm tone.

"The faster the better. Go and tell the Jurchens that if they don't go south this autumn, then Wang Yue will never be able to control himself. They don't want to face Wang Yue who is sitting in the entire Song Dynasty and leading a million troops north to sweep away the outer border in the future, right?

Then hurry up and don't wait for him to finish everything here.
To be continued...
