Chapter 10 Stealing the Fruits of Revolutionary Victory
The afternoon of January-16 of the first year of the pioneering era
Xi Xiangyu is not a politician, let alone a real lobbyist, but he knows many historical cases in the history books of the earth.
The trend of history, the trend of history, and the thousand-year-old social evolution of the earth have already given the answer.
In contrast, the history of Corantia, with its real gods, is much more monotonous than that of the earth, and the intervention of gods and religions has slowed down the progress of society in this world.
「...... Therefore, the guerrillas who stir up turmoil in the name of serving the common people are simply fooling around, and the victims of war from ancient times to the present day are always civilians. If we do not break the cycle of commoners defeating the old nobles and becoming new nobles, and the new commoners fighting away from the new nobles, the contradiction between commoners and nobles will always be the fuse of war. And our association has been suffering losses because of their innocence. 」
On the third floor of the Mage Guild, the new vice president of the Lucky Encounter was explaining his views to the other two vice presidents and the president. After a long speech, Michelle, the president of the association, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.
"So, what is your way of making both sides acceptable, not violating the principle of neutrality of the association, and breaking the status quo?"
"Representative democracy is the trend of the times and the expectation of the people. 」
An hour later, the other side.
Outside the castle northwest of Noyer, civilian resistance groups and guerrillas have repelled all the guards who were defending outside, and are erecting new weapons of war from the north.
Because it was a long-planned unrest that was launched while everyone was not looking, the official forces of Noyer were caught off guard and retreated, and soon the rebels had the absolute upper hand.
"Damn! Adeline hasn't contacted me for more than two hours, hasn't Huaxia been there?
"Lake, you should calm down. The sewer side is mainly to drag the wandering scholar, and by the way, try your luck to see if you can kill him, and the battle situation here is the most important. As long as you take the castle as soon as possible and become the new owner of the city, everything is a foregone conclusion. ”
The two sides of the conversation were the initiator of the unrest, the founder and leader of the civilian resistance group, Lake, and the head of the Guerrilla Guild in Noyer, the dragon slayer.
"You don't know, that Huaxia guy is too difficult. If he goes head-to-head, he won't do much, but once he finds a chance to make trouble, it's a big problem!"
"I don't know, it's not like I haven't read the investigation reports in the association. He's an enemy to be guarded against, and that's why we're sending Adeline to ambush him and take the opportunity to seize power as quickly as possible, isn't it?"
"I've always felt a little panicked, you can send someone to the sewers to take a look, and we need to take the castle as soon as possible. ”
With that, Lake once again urged the light cannon to prepare.
At this time, the happy meeting had already convinced all the vice presidents and presidents of the Mage Association that they were carrying out the last part of their new plan.
Within an hour, almost all the civilians of Noyer had been gathered by the power of the Mage Guild, and the square in the residential area southwest of Noyer was so crowded that it was impossible to find a gap to insert into it.
And Xi Xiangyu sat on the flying carpet, accompanied by Michelle, the president of the Mage Association, to temporarily mobilize all the civilians of Noyer.
"Today in Noyère there is a great event, where the civilian resistance groups and the guerrilla associations have finally gathered all their resources and launched a great struggle for their rights. ”
Michelle's voice was amplified by spells, and everyone present could hear every word clearly.
"Since ancient times, the difference between the commoner class and the aristocratic class has been relatively indifferent, which is due to the fact that our water transportation is developed and we often communicate and trade with the outside world, so it can be said that Noyer is actually the result of the joint creation of all the commoners and nobles after several generations of efforts. ”
However, since the spread of knowledge to Noyer, the commoners and nobles have drifted apart due to a sense of insecurity and lack of mutual trust, which has led to several changes in power. But all in vain!"
"If the gap between the commoners and the aristocracy is not completely removed, you will always be in a situation of being taken advantage of and despised. You may think that with the help of a well-behaved guerrilla association, you will be able to live a good life in peace, but is this true? Have you forgotten what happened in the early hours of the morning?"
"The Guerrilla Guild has used mechs to wantonly destroy civilian property in order to get the best chance of uprising, and if it weren't for our vice-president, Mr. Faustus, to stop it, how many of you would have lost their homes?"
"What did they do when we went to great lengths to hold the guerrillas accountable for this and compensate all the civilians for all their losses? If you think about it, can you really trust such an organization under the banner of serving the common people!"
"Of course not! This is nothing more than a new round of reincarnation, five years, three years? How much time will it take this time for the newly nobles to forget the oath they took when they revolted? We must break this cycle of repetition!"
"Therefore, this time, no matter which side between the plebeians and the nobility wins the final victory, we should adopt a new policy of plebeian rule, that is, democracy. ”
"Henceforth, Noyère shall form a council of representatives from among the plebeians and nobles in proportion to their votes, and this council shall vote again to decide all the daily affairs of Noyère. The first thing that the parliament did when it was formed was to legislate to ensure the legal rights of all. In the future Noyère, both nobles and commoners will be punished for violating this basic law. ”
"Because the election of members of parliament is based on proportion, the number of commoner councillors must be several times greater than the number of noble councillors, and the benefit of the commoners can only be sought by the guarantee of a large number of commoners. Parliament is for the participation of civilians in politics!"
"If civilian organizations win, they should be implemented directly in accordance with this new policy. If the rebellion fails, we in the Mage Guild will enter the castle on your behalf and force the city lord to enforce this new policy!"
"Of course, first of all, this policy must be strongly supported by all of you! Think carefully about who protected you when the guerrilla mechs were in trouble, who was defending the rights and interests of the civilians, and who was really thinking about the future of the civilians?"
"Now tell me, civilians, no, citizens of New Noyer!"
"You support the new policy of not supporting the Mage Guild!"
The answer is self-explanatory, and the results need no more to say.
With everyone's unanimous support, the mages of the Mage Guild led them to the castle.
Privately, Michelle, the president of the association, said ashamedly.
"I've lived so long, and I've never been so honest. ”
As he spoke, he looked at the happy meeting that emphasized that he was only a vice president and therefore pushed him to the front of the people.
"Don't look at me like that, we're doing it for the good of the civilians. In the end, if you fail, you can at least get a good name. 」
