On the day of the election, it was November 10, 1911 in the solar calendar, and Guizhou Reading Power had been six days, except for the first day of Shen Yuqing, a governor, who was in charge, and the remaining five days, the position of the governor of Guizhou was temporarily replaced by Fan Wei, exercising the rights of the governor, and the prime minister of Guizhou.

It's just that in this chaotic period, the scope of Fan Wei's management is also limited. As soon as the news of Guizhou's reading power spread, the members of the branches of the self-made society in various states and counties also took action with Zhang Bailin's reading action and launched a reading power movement one after another. In just six days, at least half of the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Guizhou have launched the reading power movement, and the county seat after the success of the reading power will naturally not listen to the constraints of others, so after Fan Wei became the acting governor, the main thing that managed the organization was the election event in Guiyang City.

Naturally, he can't control the affairs of the rest of the states and counties.

Unable to manage, it has led to more and more chaos in Guizhou Province, in this revolutionary movement of great changes in China, the old Qing government axe officials are naturally the objects of dismissal, and those members of the autonomous society are naturally the first swordsmen of the revolution. In addition to Guiyang, many political axe officials in other prefectures and counties lost their surnames in this movement. Of course, there were also some members of the Autonomous Society who sacrificed their lives for the revolution, anyway, it was a collision between the new rules and the old order, and the leaderless situation caused more and more chaos in Guizhou.

In the past six days, almost all walks of life in Guizhou have been chaotic.

In such a movement of revolution and reform, it was innocent people who suffered from the attack, and many good deeds who fished in troubled waters, taking advantage of the opportunity of the chaos in the whole territory of Guizhou, to pit many innocent people who were not protected by force. Some officials also took advantage of this opportunity to forcibly collect the wealth from the people in their territory, saying that they had to pay them military salaries in order to suppress those rebels.

All kinds of ugliness, all kinds of methods, are manifested in such a chaotic period.

Naturally, in this period of great changes that occur once in a thousand years in Shenzhou, these phenomena are normal, and Chen Liqing naturally expected them. There is only one way to end this mess, and to start from scratch. Only by establishing the overall administrative tone of Guizhou's reading can we avoid the chaos caused by repeated political system changes.

Otherwise, the word revolution will completely change its flavor.

In Chen Liqing's understanding, at least since Xinhai in Dading County, Guizhou, there have been no less than three repeated reading exercises.

The first reading movement was the reading movement led by the leaders of the Dading branch of the Autonomous Society, and the reading movement led by Tan Guanying, and they easily succeeded.

It's just that, after all, the members of the Autonomous Society are too idealistic scholars, and they don't have a certain administrative ability after reading, and those Qingliu elements who were repelled saw that the revolution was nothing more than that, so they designed to snatch the management of Dading County again. In the process, Jian Shu's brother was killed, and the armed forces after reading were also defeated by the landlord class at once, and the leading figure Jian Shu was hunted down and killed, so that he was displaced in the second half of his life and lived a miserable life.

This is the second Dading County Revolution, the members of the Autonomous Society were killed and chased. Those who successfully escaped for their lives were then burdened with the mission of seeking justice for their brother comrades, and they also had to organize a personnel revolution.

The two sides are making trouble in Dading County, Guizhou, and today they will reform the landlord class and tomorrow the rebels, and in this turbulent situation, it is always the local people who suffer. So much so that when these people finally heard the word revolution, they could not help but become disgusted.

This point was profoundly revealed by Lu Xun in Mr. Lu Xun's Ah Q biography.

Therefore, in this particular period, if you want to succeed in a change of surname, you must have absolute leadership from top to bottom, from bottom to top, and once you have determined a certain policy of governance, you must unswervingly stick to it.

Stability is the prerequisite for all development. Compared with the long-term stability and stability, the chaotic days in Guizhou can be regarded as the darkness before dawn.

It is for this reason that Chen Liqing went around in such a big circle and made some ** election.

On the one hand, it is natural that they don't want to kill each other and cause bloodshed. When is the time for retribution, if you want to kill, the influence of the Autonomous Society in Guizhou and the vast mass base cannot be killed even if you kill it. Once the kills are not exhausted, it may cause waves of revenge in the future.

To engage in ** elections, it is natural to hope to convince people with morality, and if this set does not work, it is natural to use force.

On the other hand, Chen Liqing wants to change China's long-term political situation and let the two sides fight, not for the people to be hurt again, but for the people to benefit.

Just like the current election situation in Guiyang, several political forces have given money and food to the people in order to win the votes in the hands of the people. If this election pattern spreads all over Guizhou and the whole country, if there is any revolution in the future, it will no longer be the people who will be hurt.

Chen Liqing was an ordinary fart in his previous life, and he also suffered a lot of unfair treatment, and now that he has the ability to change from scratch, whether he succeeds or not, he naturally needs to give it a try.

Of course, no matter what the reason, Guizhou Province did not issue any government decree after reading it, but the matter of the ** election was still spread.

When the revolutionaries and Qingliu elements in Guizhou Province got the news, they temporarily laid down their arms and waited for the new forces to come to power. Therefore, on the day of the election, there was hardly any fighting in Guizhou, and everyone was waiting for the results of the election.

On the day of the election, it was rainy and rainy. But the drizzle of the cold day still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the people in Guiyang.

The election site was selected in the center of the big cross street in the center of Guiyang, and early in the morning, countless people in Guiyang spontaneously rushed here.

Almost all matters related to the election have been arranged.

Canvassing for speeches, an inaugural declaration, and then a popular vote are all part of the simple process at a glance. Finally, at nine o'clock in the morning, Acting Governor Fan Wei announced the start of the election.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the representatives of the Quartet who are qualified to vote, Zhang Bailin of the Autonomous Society, Ren Kecheng of the Constitutionalists, Guo Chongguang of the Senior Citizens Association, and Fan Wei, who represents the forces of the Chen family, took the stage one by one.

In the first row of the audience, feeling the lively atmosphere of this huge scene, Chen Liqing sat next to his father, his little hands clenched, and he was a little excited.

Such a huge scene can be regarded as caused by him, because of an election, almost 100,000 people in Guiyang City participated together. In later generations, he saw such a scene there.

Of course, Chen Liqing was happy and excited, but he was still a little worried when he listened to this messy scene and couldn't hear clearly.

During this period, there was no sound, and when Fan Wei and them spoke, could the people around them hear it?

Of course, Chen Liqing's worries were unnecessary, and soon, when the time came, the huge gong and drum on the election stage was sounded in the noise of the crowd.

The sound of gongs and drums shook the sky, and the moment it was spread, the commotion came to an abrupt end.

At this time, the people were still in awe of the sound of gongs and drums, and almost as soon as they heard it, they knew that the crucial election meeting was about to begin.

"Liqing, do you think Master Fan can succeed in the election in today's situation?" Seeing that the conference was finally about to start, Chen Mingren, who had been quite calm, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Chen Liqing a little nervously.

"Dad, don't worry, our propaganda has been thoroughly put in place, and in today's election, Uncle Fan will definitely be able to successfully serve as our chairman of Guizhou." Chen Liqing replied firmly. Turning his head, he pointed to some people with red scarves wrapped around their hands and said, "Dad, do you see, those people with red scarves on their arms are directly and clearly going to support Uncle Fan." ”

Chen Mingren turned his head and saw at a glance that more than half of the people in the dense crowd actually wore red scarves on their arms. The election is naturally a trivial matter for Chen Liqing, and until there are enough benefits, these people are still very easy to fool. Moreover, under their propaganda, Fan Wei's ruling policy after coming to power was also understood by a large group of people.

"Well, let's hope everything goes well." Chen Mingren saw that so many people supported him, and his heart was a little settled.

Naturally, compared with Chen Liqing's calmness, Guo Chongguang's group of people was a little nervous, standing on the stage, Guo Chongguang could easily see that more than half of the black crowd under the stage were wearing red scarves. Seeing this, Guo Chongguang knew that he was defeated.

"Hey, hey......"

At this time, after the sound of gongs and drums sounded a few times, a huge iron loudspeaker was also pushed up by several people, and it was Zhang Xianmo who presided over the loudspeaker. Sure enough, after a try, the sound was crisp and long, long enough for most people to hear clearly.

"Okay, I won't say more, now, our election meeting has officially begun." Zhang Xianmo didn't talk nonsense, and directly announced the start of the election:

"Next, I would like to invite Zhang Bailin of the Autonomous Society, Mr. Zhang, to give a speech."

Zhang Bailin is a master of speech, and in two years, he was able to develop the members of the Autonomous Society to tens of thousands of people in the province, and his lip work naturally contributed to it. Hearing Zhang Xianmo's words, he took a deep breath and walked behind the large amplifier.

As he walked, people knew that the speech had begun, and the scene of tens of thousands of people suddenly fell silent, and these people took the first sacred election very seriously.

Feeling this solemn atmosphere, Zhang Bailin's face was naturally serious, and after walking to the loudspeaker that was taller than him, Zhang Bailin took a deep breath and began his speech.

"Comrades, brothers, sisters, I am Zhang Bailin, I am the president of the Autonomous Society, and I will begin my speech. This time, please believe me in this speech about the fate of our Guizhou, every word I say is from the bottom of my heart. Zhang Bailin did not prepare any manuscript, and began his speech directly to the loudspeaker with his empty hands, and as his words came out through the huge loudspeaker, his voice sounded above the huge cross.
