Chapter 478: Secret ballot
Those present were several commanders with the highest titles in the Flying Tiger Army and the Mengying Army, and everyone was pondering, and they were all looking at him by this kid who didn't know the height of the sky. This person is none other than Liu Bang, I saw him sitting in a position in the far corner of the last row, only to hear his voice, but because of the blockade in front, he couldn't even see his figure.
"Why should we ask the soldiers when we are discussing such an important matter? What will they be able to decide? One of the generals in the Eagle Army scoffed.
Liu Bang stood up and defended: "Who said that the soldiers are useless, the world is fought by this soldier, and the world must be people-oriented and people-oriented!" ”
The general of the Mengying Army was speechless and sat down speechless by Liu Bang's defense.
"Well said! It's a people-oriented, I didn't expect Liu Bang to have such an awareness, it really impresses me! Supreme Treasure stood up and clapped his hands in praise.
Supreme Treasure thought in his heart that it was Liu Bang instead of Xiang Yu who could become the emperor in the end, looking at the people's ideological awareness, although there are some second-rate people in behavior, but what people say is the people who listen to the very heartwarming words, what else can not be done in the people's hearts?
"Actually, I have also seen a lot of the lives of the poor people and summed it up, don't I think the world depends on them to sustain it? The Son of Heaven still doesn't know how to love them, so the world is not the world, isn't this self-destruction? We are not in the same way in the army, every soldier should have the right to speak. Liu Bang continued.
As soon as Liu Bang said this, everyone nodded in agreement, but what should be done now to get everyone to participate in the discussion of this matter? It's already been a lot of noise just now, isn't it going to be a quarrel when these tens of thousands of people are discussing together?
"The idea that Liu Bang said is a good idea, so that every soldier can participate in this general election, and we can also choose the most suitable general in our minds, instead of having to be elected among our two generals. I don't think it's out of the question, why don't we let the soldiers themselves say what they think? Don't have anyone to interfere with their thoughts. Xiao He proposed.
This is a reminder that there may be one thing that has not yet appeared in this era, and that is to campaign by secret ballot. Then this very indecisive election of the general can also be achieved in this way.
"Xiao He is right, I have a way to try, and then who will have the right to be this general can only be decided by our tens of thousands of soldiers. That is the secret ballot, the so-called secret ballot ballot, which refers to the method in which the elector or voter does not have to sign his or her name on the ballot paper or voting ballot, and the ballot paper or vote is personally put into the ballot box when the election or vote is conducted by voting. ”
As soon as the Supreme Treasure said this, everyone understood that it was to let every soldier vote for the general in his mind in the so-called ballot box, and then count the votes to determine the final candidate. This not only saves unnecessary discussion time, but also allows everyone to have their own privacy space and do not have to look at other people's faces.
Soon the ballot box was made, and the next step was the vote for every soldier. The soldiers who participated in the vote this time were not only the hundreds of soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, but also the Mengying Army and the officers and soldiers in Huaiyue City that had just been recovered, adding up to more than 20,000 people.
The Li brothers were originally worried about Lu Xiaoyu, and the Flying Tiger Army of these hundreds of people would naturally support Lu Xiaoyu as a general, but the officers and soldiers of Huaiyue City and the soldiers of the Mengying Army were not clear. One of them surrendered with Liu Bang, and on the other hand, the Mongolian Heavenly Khan personally gave the Supreme Treasure to recover Southern Chu, so naturally they all had to vote for him.
After Lu Xiaoyu knew the Li brothers' thoughts, he smiled, "Two big brothers, do you want me to be this general so much?" To tell you the truth, my abilities are far inferior to my uncle's Supreme Treasure, and if everyone asks me to be this great general, I don't know where to throw away our previous victories, this vote is redundant. But forget it, since it's all so decided, let's just vote like this, but I believe that everyone's eyes are bright, and who has contributed to the Flying Tiger Army and who is capable can be seen at a glance. This is not the time to talk about personal relationships. ”
When the Li brothers heard Lu Xiaoyu say this, it seemed that their brother had no intention of fighting for the position of this great general, but they still decided to use their last strength to help him pull a wave of votes. Lu Xiaoyu could only smile bitterly, these two brothers, you are really, alas, the Supreme Treasure is Lu Xiaoyu, you still treat him like this, how sad he would be if he knew. Before the voting began, the Li brothers did ideological work with the colleagues of the Flying Tiger Army, but it could be seen that everyone was a little reluctant, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Supreme Treasure would undoubtedly win this vote, and his ability was beyond doubt.
Under the instructions of the Supreme Treasure, Liu Bang did not spread the slogan of voting for the Supreme Treasure among the officers and soldiers of Huaiyue, but asked them to vote according to their true thoughts. The Meng Eagle Army is the same, they have been watching the performance of Lu Xiaoyu and Supreme Treasure all the way here. Lu Xiaoyu once went undercover in the enemy camp to save the Western Xia Dynasty, and Supreme Treasure also led everyone to turn the tide and defeat Zhang Liang with the power of one person. Everyone has a ruler in their hearts to cast their precious vote.
Sure enough, as expected, the Supreme Treasure became the general of the Flying Tiger Army, and he was elected with a high vote, not only more than half of the people in the Mengying Army voted for the Supreme Treasure, but almost all of the officers and soldiers of Huaiyue voted for him, and the hundreds of soldiers of the Flying Tiger Army, which everyone was most unoptimistic about, actually voted for the Supreme Treasure, and they were not affected by the Li brothers at all, which made the Supreme Treasure quite unexpected.
Of course, these votes are all anonymous, and only the voters themselves know who they voted, and others can only guess.
"Congratulations General, you can finally truly command the whole army. No more objections from some people. Zheng Ze congratulated the Supreme Treasure, his eyes still glancing at the Li brothers who were silent on the side.
Lu Xiaoyu also very generously pulled the Li brothers to congratulate the Supreme Treasure, "Uncle, this general belongs to you, I am willing to learn your skills next to you and serve the Flying Tiger Army well." ”
