Chapter 186: National Elections
There are many tribes in Lingbao County, and under the threat of the powerful military power of the Celestial Star Army, all of them are subordinate to the Celestial Star Army.
The army stationed by the Celestial Star Army does not participate in the internal management of the tribe, but only maintains law and order, and the original tribal forces still enjoy the original benefits.
However, all tribes still have to implement the new policy of Tianxing, and the interests of large landlords and big slave owners are of course damaged.
However, the Tianxing Army directly used the current price to buy a large amount of land, and then distributed it to the landless civilians, and the reform was carried out smoothly.
After the big landlords and big slave owners got a large amount of Tianxing coins, they could open factories and shops in various towns, as well as purchase a certain limited amount of housing and real estate, and they were still extremely wealthy, and their essence did not change much, so the resistance was not strong.
Slavery was abolished, equality between men and women, and all businesses had to be re-contracted in the form of recruitment, with a guaranteed minimum wage set by the Star Army.
The Tianxing Army was stationed in various towns and cities, and immediately became the town government, and a large number of personnel were transferred from the three counties of Tianxing to establish civil affairs, courts, police, banks and other institutions, and organize the implementation of a new governance system.
It has only been six months, and after the full implementation of the new policy of Tianxing, it has already had an effect, and Lingbao County has fully recovered and taken a new track.
Industrial and commercial enterprises have begun to enter various towns, bringing new products, technologies and management, and upgrading the local industry.
The most distinctive items in Lingbao County are also circulated to all parts of the Song Kingdom through Xingyue Logistics.
The old forces no longer have their privileges, and the slave owners, big landowners, and tribal leaders can no longer control the people's right to pursue freedom.
At the headquarters of the Holy Spirit Sect in Lingbao County, he dug three feet into the ground in all its places, scraped all the property and handed it over to Li Yishan to dispose of, and countless silver taels gave the new policy implemented by the Heavenly Star Army a fundamental guarantee.
The main force of the Demon Sect is indeed in the nine counties in the northwest, there are not too many treasures here, and the power of Lingbao County is actually not very strong, but this battle really hurt the Demon Sect.
The Holy Spirit Sect swore to take full revenge on the Heavenly Star Army, and in less than a month, it sent as many as a dozen innate seventh-layer killers to Lingbao City, but in front of the snipers with hundreds of shots, they died from the gun just after they appeared.
There was also an old man from the Martial King Realm who had infiltrated Lingbao City, but when Qi Ming and the others' divine senses had already been locked, there was nothing they could do about it, and three sniper bullets made Yu Hate on the spot.
The killers of the Holy Spirit Sect also attacked the camps of the Celestial Star Army in many towns and cities, but there was accurate information about the "Nighthawk", and it was ruthless sniper bullets that greeted the killers.
Within a month, after the death of dozens of ninth-level masters, sixteen innate seventh-eighth-level masters, and one Martial King Realm master, the Holy Spirit Sect also gave up this method of assassination.
In response to the assassination of the Holy Spirit Sect, the Heavenly Star Army responded with a tooth for a tooth and immediately sent combat planes to attack the military strongholds of the Holy Spirit Sect in Qingchuan County and Lichuan County near Lingbao County, each time it was a late-night attack and completely annihilated the target.
The main forces of the Holy Spirit Sect are in Ziyue County and Yunchuan County, and they have always been pinned down by the Song Army and the two sect forces, and they can only be a verbal threat to the Heavenly Star Army.
Of course, the Celestial Star Army ignored it at all, but went all out to run Lingbao County, and also moved the staff headquarters to Lingbao City.
In the core stations of the Celestial Star Army in various places, there are protective arrays set up by Ye Xing, and the masters of the general innate ninth layer and the qi refining period cannot get close at all, while the martial kings and the masters of the foundation building period have alarm devices to control and measure the aura when they are near, and there are 4 shooting masters with infrared night vision sniper rifles, who take turns to be on duty at high places.
In fact, all the towns under the jurisdiction of Tianxing have set up simple protective arrays in the core parts, and each key part has Ye Xing's newly developed aura detection and alarm device, and all personnel with strong aura on their bodies will be checked by soldiers with guns.
Moreover, now the jurisdiction of the Tianxing Army fully implements the ID card system, from children to the elderly, all are registered, and everyone has their own photo ID card.
Outsiders who do not have an ID card must apply for a temporary ID card at the location of the town government, which is valid for three years, and the temporary ID card can have all other rights except for the division of land, and the Tianxing government gives the same protection as the residents of Tianxing.
Everyone in the Song Kingdom clearly knows that people who have Tianxing ID cards are superior, equal in life, and guaranteed in life, so a large number of people are constantly entering the four counties of Tianxing and applying to join Tianxing.
The Xingchen Chamber of Commerce, headquartered in Xijiang City, Donghai County, has built dozens of cement factories, oil refineries, chemical plants, textile factories, and steel processing factories throughout Lingbao County, attracting a large number of working people and giving job opportunities to young and middle-aged men and women in the tribe.
Tianxing City Construction, a large number of hundreds of thousands of workers were recruited, thousands of construction sites were started at the same time, and roads and bridges between cities and towns were renovated and expanded, all of which used steel and cement, and various mechanized equipment were also used.
Xingyue Logistics expanded the number of ships tenfold, dispatched all the capacity, and sent all kinds of materials from the three counties of Tianxing to the towns of Lingbao County, which changed the original appearance of Lingbao County in a short time.
Hundreds of chain-belt locomotives were also transported to the front line by Xingyue Logistics, and a small team was equipped with the army, and only the garrison will have a horse army in the future, and the front-line combat army will be completely replaced by locomotives.
At present, the Tianxing Army Air Force has 50 combat planes, 50 transport planes, and the pilots of each quadcopter are all masters of Ye Xing's divine consciousness expansion training, all of whom have advanced to the ninth layer of innate knowledge, and have body armor and other protection, all of them are officers with the highest salary.
And 5 small warships, along the tributaries of the Xijiang River, have sailed to Lingbao County and are stationed at the military dock in Lingbao City.
After this effective and rapid special combat in Lingbao County, the top management of the Tianxing Army was more confident and its combat effectiveness was more powerful, and the war maniac Liang Zhihong had already shouted at the military meeting, "Unify the Song Kingdom and liberate the whole people."
Li Yishan, who is relatively conservative, said, "Give priority to internal affairs, effectively govern, enhance strength, and wait for opportunities." ”
Of course, the General Staff will not be too radical, and a comprehensive evaluation of the situation in the Song State is underway.
In the four counties under the jurisdiction of the Tianxing Army, a brand-new governance policy was implemented, and it was a policy completely ahead of this era, and it was an ideal country that people could not imagine, and this trend blew like a storm to the whole world, causing countless discussions, arguments, envy, and jealousy.
And in this year, that is, on August 1, 3455 in the Song calendar, the Tianxing New Deal was implemented in the first three counties, and now ushered in the first registration for the mayor and mayor elections, and the registration period is twenty days;
According to the Tianxing Election Law, only residents in the jurisdiction are eligible to register and vote, and the election is divided into two stages: primary election and final election.
The jurisdiction of the mayor is a city and the surrounding 50 miles, and the scope of the mayor's management is large and small, according to the historical and traditional areas, in fact, the city is much smaller than the jurisdiction of the town, but the population is more concentrated in the large town.
The mayor of the municipality is in charge of all local administrative affairs, and is the de facto first person with real power in the locality, but has no right to interfere in the affairs of the garrison, the courts, or the bank.
The primary election is that all residents of the jurisdiction can sign up, become candidates for the primary election, can go to the jurisdiction to canvass for votes, but must not bribe the election, the garrison supervises the election, and if there is fraud, arrest immediately.
On September 7, a month after the registration deadline, the mayoral elections in various places were officially voted, and the top three candidates became the final candidates, and then the three candidates were protected by a small team of soldiers from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who went to various places to inspect and canvass for votes.
Another month later, on October 7, the day of the unification of the three counties of Tianxing, the voting day for the people of each town to elect the leaders of the towns and towns with one person and one vote, was supervised by the garrisons of various places.
Due to the election of the mayor of the city, the Ministry of the Interior of the Star did not intervene in any way, only required openness, fairness, justice, orderly, and garrison supervision, but in fact, it was also quite tense, and the first national election in history, everyone was very concerned about whether the groundbreaking initiative was feasible.
For the first referendum day, all the personnel of the Ministry of the Interior were in the Ministry of the Interior building of the Ministry of Mangyun, connected to the voting reports of various places, and listened to the progress of the voting throughout the process.
Everyone in the staff headquarters of Lingbao City, including Ye Xing and the four of them, also stopped their work and connected to the report on the voting situation in the three counties, fortunately, there were inspectors from the garrison, and the voting process for the election of more than 800 mayors in the three counties was basically smooth.
The counting of votes, which began the next day, was also carried out simultaneously in various places, and the process of counting votes was carried out in public fields in local towns, with thousands of local residents as observers and guards.
On the morning of the fifth day, all the votes were counted and the results of the election were announced immediately, and the original mayors of the towns and towns were basically elected because of their excellent work and the approval of the local people, and only a few were defeated.
