She Song

Chapter 332 A new dynasty is established!
At the end of April, the China Political Consultative Conference entered its final moments.

In addition to the original 390 military states in the Song Dynasty, plus Yanyun, Zhongjing, Shengzhou, Ryukyu, Taiwan, Nanyang and the Global Pearl String Colonies, plus leaders of the military and important industries, a total of 660 six representatives will compete in the final Political rights.

As Han Xiaoyao predicted, when it comes to the struggle for power, various methods will be used. However, under the deterrence and monitoring of the Zhenguo Army and internal guards, the Political Consultative Conference has basically put an end to violence, whether in public or private, and everyone has a tacit understanding. The principle of literary fighting was followed.

Although there are many representatives, everyone knows the simple physical theorem that there is strength in numbers, so various forces began to unite to keep warm.

The initial reason for the grouping was geographical factors. For example, the representatives of the army and the state would gather on the road based on the previous 24 roads of the Song Dynasty, and each road would continue to group based on the location.

As a result, the Yanyun Faction, the Central Plains Faction, the Northwest Faction, the Southeast Faction, the Southwest Faction, and the Overseas Faction were soon born, while other forces successively formed the Army Faction, the Navy Faction, the Industrial and Commercial Faction, the Royalist Faction, the Financial Group Faction, the Cultural Faction, Various factions, including the workers and peasants faction, established faction halls in Tokyo to study the political situation and discuss countermeasures.

The most surprising thing is that the three schools of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism actually put aside their prejudices and joined hands, adopting the strategy of advancing together and retreating together, and were called "religious sects".

So much so that some people questioned Master Puyun, a famous figure in the religious sect, on the street: Don’t monks pay attention to rebirth?Why get involved in worldly affairs?
The eloquent master Puyun responded with his usual expression: "When you are born, you enter the world. This is a superposition state."

After Han Xiaoyao heard about it, he asked someone to inquire about it. He was relieved when he learned that the master's real name was not Xue and he had never raised a cat.

Although there were dozens of political forces, large and small, three major alliances were ultimately formed.

The northern system is mainly formed by Yanyun + military + industry and commerce + overseas, with the big boss Han Xiaoyao.

The conservative faction is mainly composed of Central Plains + Northwest + Culture + Religion, and the representative figure is Zhao Ji.

The southern system is mainly formed by the consortium + southeast + southwest, and the representative character is Shi Kun.

The workers' and peasants' faction and other forces that maintain their independence have formed a relatively loose independent alliance. Of course, their influence is incomparable to that of the first three.

The Northern Faction has undisputed advantages in terms of geography, force, economy, and talent. It completely crushes all forces and becomes the largest faction. Even if the Conservative Faction joins forces with the Southern Faction, it may not be able to compete.

However, the Southern Clan and the Conservative Clan had a mutually disliked relationship. The ratio of imperial examinations, regional discrimination, and the excessive taxation by the imperial court triggered Fang La's rebellion, which caused great harm to Jiangnan. Therefore, the people in the South have long regarded the Conservative Clan as an enemy bandit.

Therefore, both sides began to win over the independence alliance to suppress the other side, in an attempt to become the second largest force in the new dynasty.

The Chinese Political Consultative Conference needs to formulate a very large amount of content, and it is impossible for 700 people to participate in the discussion. Therefore, the preparatory group formulated the principle of democratic centralism.

One hundred and eight senators are elected from 660 six seats to form the Senate (it must ensure that there is at least one senator in the road-level administrative unit). The senators are elected for a four-year term, and 36 senators are replaced in each term.

550 The four representatives are called House of Representatives and form the House of Representatives (based on the number of members, at least one representative for each military and state-level administrative unit). The House of Representatives has a two-year term and is elected by the local house of representatives.

The House of Representatives is responsible for proposing various bills. After half of the House members pass them, they are handed over to the Senate for review and implementation. After two-thirds of the senators pass them, they are submitted to the head of state for final decision and implementation. The head of state has a veto power.

Moreover, senators and representatives are limited to legislation and are not allowed to interfere in local administrative affairs.

This clearly bicameral legislative body was undoubtedly Han Xiaoyao's idea, but it precisely solved the institutional problem that Zhang Bangchang, Qin Huizhi, Lu Tong and other members of the Preparatory Committee had difficulty in unifying, and it relatively took into account the forces of all parties. of fairness.

Therefore, after the initial version of the bicameral system came out, the vast majority of more than 55% of the House of Representatives approved it. Therefore, excluding the fixed quota, the competition for the remaining [-] senators became the focus.

And Han Xiaoyao knew that the new power structure of the new dynasty had been established based on the proportions of the three major forces. For a relatively period of time, this distribution of power would not change much, because the leaders of the senators' forces could only take orders from the three major forces.Therefore, after the system of the House of Representatives and the Senate is improved, a series of legislation must be carried out, and the Provisional State Council has also done a lot of preparatory work.

The name of the new dynasty was "Hua", which means the country of China.

The national flag is "Golden Dragon on Red Background", in which the abstract flying dragon is powerful and dynamic.

The national anthem was chosen as "King Qin's Breaking the Formation Song". The lyrics and music symbolize strong force and victory. Once it was announced, it quickly became known and loved by the people.

Based on the "Great Song Code" + "Yanyun Management Regulations", the newly reorganized "Constitution" of China was finally adopted.Because Article [-] of the Constitution "All citizens of China are equal, and it is illegal to buy and sell enslaved citizens," it greatly enhanced the status of slaves and slaves, and was therefore called the "Abolition of Slavery Constitution" by later generations.

Abolition of slavery and eradication of human trafficking were Han Xiaoyao's slogans many years ago. Now they have finally been included in the constitution in China, achieving his unprecedented honor.

Seeing that the trend of abolition was unstoppable and the public voice continued to rise, in order to retain seats in the House and Senate, neither the conservative faction nor the southern faction dared to risk the disapproval of the world, so they had no choice but to go along with the flow and approve the passage.

The next highlight was the selection of the leader of the Chinese state. Although everyone knew that it must be Han Xiaoyao, the sedan chair was carried by everyone. The 660 members of the House of Representatives and the Senate received more than two-thirds of the votes among the eight candidates. Elected Han Xiaoyao to be the lord of Huaguo.

Previously, because Han Xiaoyao stated that he would not be the emperor, after the "Old Master" Sima Hengru proposed to discuss with everyone, he decided to define the "head of state" as the honorary title of the lord of Huaguo, and publicly interpret it as "the first citizen".

The Senate authorized Han Xiaoyao to form a cabinet, and it was logical that Sima Hengru became the second head of state and Li Shishi the third head of state.But unexpectedly, Han Xiaoyao finally appointed Li Gang as Prime Minister, who was responsible for coordinating various ministries and formulating national development plans.

The conservative faction was extremely surprised by Li Gang's entry into the cabinet. Many bigwigs did not hesitate to persuade him to reject the invitation from the northern faction, and even offered him the bargaining chip of a senator.

But Li Gang was unmoved, advocating the separation of political power from state administration, and claimed that the reason he joined the cabinet was to do practical things for hundreds of millions of people.

Therefore, the disappointed conservative department simply labeled Li Gang as a "traitor" and completely drew a line with him.

The Political Consultative Conference finally came to an end after many twists and turns, and Han Xiaoyao finally took the fruits of power into his hands.

On the first day of the fifth lunar month, the Chinese dynasty was established, and all nations came to dynasty and the whole country rejoiced. This day was naturally designated as a statutory National Day and a three-day holiday.

After the National Day holiday, the Chinese military carried out a three-month reorganization.

The Chinese Army is divided into a garrison division and three corps in the north and southwest. The garrison division has three divisions and nine brigades, with a full strength of 8 people; each legion has three corps and nine divisions, with a full strength of 18 people.

The Chinese navy is divided into the National Defense Fleet, the Nanyang Fleet, the Western Fleet, the Mediterranean Fleet and the Global Fleet. The total number of the navy is nearly [-].

Each fleet has nine to fifteen ironclads, plus a number of supply ships and troop carriers. The most powerful is the Taiwan-based national defense fleet, which can attack thirty ships of all sizes and has more than 4 naval personnel.

In addition to conventional airships, the Chinese Air Force has now begun to develop gliders. The total number of personnel in the Air Force is less than 5000.

After the reorganization was completed, all services were able to complete the requirements of the assessment outline, so the Northern Expedition plan jointly drawn up by Xiao Qian and Yue Fei was quickly launched.

The Northern Army, headed by young generals such as Yue Fei, Jiang Queer, Yuan Erlang, and Tang Huai, launched a sudden attack on Beijing and Huanglong Mansion in mid-August.
