Begging in late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 690 Declaration of Human Rights
In fact, Song Qingshu is still only a mature man, and when he started talking about a little brother, he acted old-fashioned, but this is also a stalk from his childhood. At that time, the heads of the revolutionary movies in his memory all patted the shoulders of the little revolutionary comrades.

kid!

Song Qingshu's slap on the shoulder didn't matter, but it made the guards at the door whose faces were flushed from the cold startled, and in a hurry, they just knelt down on the ground with a thump, and waved their hands incoherently.

"Small... small..."

This action caught Song Qingshu a little off guard. Seeing that the guards beside him became nervous, he had no choice but to stretch out his hand and pull him up heavily.

"Get up, you guys kneel down and kneel down to your parents. It's not a military ceremony. You don't need to kneel down. This commander just wants to chat!"

"Yes, yes, let's talk, let's talk..."

The power of authority in this era is really strong. Seeing the panicked appearance of the little soldier, Song Qingshu's aroused emotions were also dissipated. He reluctantly stuffed the gun into his hand again, intending to turn around and get back into the tent. Suddenly, the bearded guard next to him knelt on the ground again.

What's the matter, it's like a kowtow, helping one to fall down the other?
Suddenly a little annoyed, with a bit of anger, Song Qingshu turned around and wanted to scold him, but just as he turned around, the guard's hasty words came over.

"Little one, dare to thank you for your kindness! If it weren't for the commander, my family's blood feud would not be avenged! The little one wants to thank you for a long time, the little one, I can't repay you, I am willing to die for the commander!"

This is still a super fanboy, seeing the incoherent appearance of the guard, Song Qingshu's anger disappeared, and he had no choice but to reach out to pull him up again.

"We are soldiers. It is our bounden duty to defend our home and country against foreigners. If everyone is like you and me, why should the world worry about peace? This is not a grace, it is a responsibility!"

"Go back to the master!"

Still so excited, Zuo Weibing said something that shocked Song Qingshu.

"The villain's blood feud was not caused by the slaves! The villain is a tenant in Gu Li, Changshu, and has farmed for the Gu family for generations. But, but my father was seriously ill the year before last, so my mother stole a fish for my father and wanted to make up for my father. In the end, the second young master of the Gu family found out that my family violated his family's big taboo and buried my father and mother in the fertile field, alive!"

"It's the commander! The commander's men killed the entire Gu family and avenged my family!"

The seriousness of land annexation in the south of the Yangtze River can be imagined, and the exploitation of the tenants and slaves by these landowners has really reached an appalling level. Although he knew that the tenants in the south of the Yangtze River were living in misery, he did not expect it to reach this level. Song Qingshu couldn't help being surprised in his astonishment. asked.

"Why didn't you report to the official?"

"Marshal, are you joking? In the old days, the official was a frequent visitor of his Gu family. We low-class slaves and tenants are under the control of the Gu family. If we go to sue the official, I am afraid that we will be beaten first and tied back home. , and then I have to go to the fields to fertilize the land, and the villain's younger sister is not yet married, so the villain will not die at that time!"

"But now, thanks to the great commander's kindness, the youngest younger sister is married, and the younger one is married to a wife. After we have it, there is nothing to be sorry for our ancestors, so the younger one is willing to go through fire and water for you, and I will do anything!"

Who said that there are many generous and tragic people in Yanzhao and many cowardly and weak people in Jiangnan?Knowing how to repay his kindness and not hesitating his life, at this moment, this Jiangnan man in front of him at least made Song Qingshu feel taller than ever before.

But in his words, apart from being touched for a moment, Song Qingshu suddenly heard something unusual.

"You are the tenants of the Gu family, so you are afraid of the Gu family?"

"Back to Commander, that's right. At that time, the Gu family was our Gu Li's sky. Fortunately, this bastard bastard lost his mind and joined Jiannu. Our volunteer soldiers from Changzhou Prefecture sent troops to Gu Li and took these bastards away. , sent to Changzhou for trial and beheaded, I used the commander's big guillotine and clicked!"

When these things were mentioned, the recruit Gu Li was obviously in high spirits, but these words made Song Qingshu's expression a little bit heavier again.

After chatting with each other, Song Qingshu returned to the tent in a dull manner. At this moment, the chiefs of staff seemed to have finally reached a conclusion. Liu Zongmin, who had a loud voice, immediately shouted excitedly when he saw Song Qingshu come in.

"Commander, we have made a clear balance. We should attack Fujian first, connect the north and the south, and run through my entire coastal advantage. Then go back and attack Jiangxi. During this period, Mr. Sun trained a group of spies, which happened to be used to contain Jiangxi's rebels and others. Wu Sangui, this bastard, will finally invite..."

"No need! The commander-in-chief has decided to be a class teacher, so he won't attack anywhere!"

Liu Zongmin, who was still in high spirits just now, was stunned for a moment, and the rest of the generals also opened their mouths in disbelief as if they had seen aliens. After a while, Sun Chuanting, Minister of the Ministry of War, clenched his fists at Song Qingshu with a very serious face.

"Marshal, fighting the world is like sailing against the tide, if you don't advance, you will retreat! Although there are indeed some difficulties in front of you, you can't stand still!"

"The commander-in-chief will not stand still, but at this time, whether to attack Fujian or Jiangxi, it is not a good opportunity. The commander-in-chief has already considered it very clearly!"

"Go away!"

Seeing that Song Qingshu actually tidied up the folders in front of his seat, and immediately walked out, a group of chief staff officers became helpless again, but at this time, no one dared to challenge Song Qingshu's authority, and followed Song Qingshu out, Sun Chuanting Immediately, with a tense face, he grabbed the two guards who were still immersed in excitement by the door, and asked hurriedly.

"Just now, did anyone say anything to the commander in chief?"

"Master Sun? The little one doesn't know! Just now the commander-in-chief just took the young two to talk about family affairs."

The two soldiers immediately became confused.

…………

Song Qingshu's determination to withdraw troops is really big enough, and he ordered the squadron that day, but still reserved Liu Zongmin to take the third to sixth divisions of Qihuo, and the 33rd to 45th divisions of Beifu to form the third front army, stationed in Xianxialing In addition, Lu Xiang was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang Province, and he led the 76th Division of Beifu to the [-]th Division of Beifu to guard the Jiangxi border.

Most of the people who formed the Democratic Party's cabinet this time followed Song Qingshu to the north, but this time, the army did not return to Yingtian, but was stationed in Hangzhou on the spot.

At the beginning of the 20th year of Chongzhen, another shocking decree was issued in Hangzhou in the name of Song Qingshu's cabinet.

"Declaration of Human Rights"!
When Song Qingshu reformed the constitution a while ago, he had begun to vaguely propose the content of the Declaration of Human Rights, but this time, it was unprecedentedly formally proposed as a bill, which made the originally easing situation extremely turbulent again.

In the past, like the United Kingdom, the Ming Dynasty was also unequal, not to mention the distinction between scholars, farmers, businessmen, officials, senior officials, candidates, and scholars all had certain legal privileges, and in the south of the Yangtze River, it was common practice for big families to keep slave households and tenant households. The upper and lower ranks are strict.

But this time, the Bill of Rights clearly stated that everyone is equal, there is no one outside the law, and all personal dependencies are abolished. The previous generations of slave contracts are no longer protected by the law. Even the original serfs can be fair Sitting with the owner, the human trafficker is dead!Excuse the persecution of former serfs, death penalty!

Moreover, the bill also proposes an additional clause, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces under the rule of the Jianwu regime of the King of Lu, and the literati and landlords who support the Jianwu regime’s rebellion, their land rights are not protected by the imperial law. Give them the rights of tenant farmers and serfs, and openly divide their land!
As soon as this decree came out, it was blown up on the side of the Conservative Party. Even Chen Zilong and others couldn't accept it. The elders and children who surrounded the protest almost surrounded the Congress. The legislative power is in the Congress. This is Song Qingshu himself. Among them, Qian Qianyi and others immediately used it and demanded that Congress be convened to abolish this bill!

On February 470th, the second Congress of the Ming Empire was officially convened. All the members of more than [-] seats attended the meeting. After a heated debate between the two sides, the Congress voted once again in the eyes of the world.

But this time, the situation was not optimistic. Song Qingshu's "Declaration of Human Rights" was too radical, and even affected many petty and middle-class bourgeoisie who used servants. Moreover, this time, the Conservative Party was huddled together. Increasing upwards, voting continued until evening, sunset, and darkness before the last vote was cast, and an extremely shocking situation occurred.

230 votes to 230 votes, tie!

I never thought that such a situation could be achieved. Sun Chuanting's forehead was dripping with sweat, while Zhou Yanru, who was the deputy minister of the cabinet and deputy prime minister, simply walked to the front stage from the electoral seat, and shouted with his hands held high. .

"The number of votes is equal this time, and the overthrow plan is not established! The meeting is adjourned today! The votes will be recounted in three days!"

But hearing the result, the Conservative Party seat was obviously dissatisfied, Huang Chunyao, a celebrity from Jiangzuo who was sitting in the third row, jumped up angrily, knocked on the table and shouted.

"Without dignity, how can there be etiquette? This policy that harms the country and the people should be abolished! You are harming the country and the people!"

"Huang Chunyao, the constitution clearly stipulates that the abolition of laws and regulations requires overwhelming votes before they can be enforced. Are you going to flout the constitution?" The councilman next to him, Ruan Dacheng, also stood up and shouted angrily and unwillingly. His family also has a lot of property In fact, since Song Qingshu came to power, the Ruan family has suffered continuously in Jiangnan, and he is not willing to let go of his former slaves. However, he is a core member of the Democratic Party. If he disagrees with the party chairman Song Qingshu, he will be abandoned immediately. This is against the will to stand up and support.

Who would have thought that Ruan Dacheng's stepping up would immediately poke a hornet's nest. He had a reputation as an eunuch before, and now he is standing up against "loyal ministers". Greetings on the face, one big side, Huang Chunyao yelled and cursed at the same time.

"What kind of shit constitution! It's not made up by you rebellious officials and thieves. The old man only recognizes the ancestors as laws! Rebellious officials and thieves, everyone will punish you and kill you!"

The brawl of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty was also a spectacle in the past dynasties. Seeing Ruan Dacheng being beaten and screaming, Zhou Yanru, the deputy minister who came to replace Song Qingshu on the stage, was overjoyed, and winked at the parliamentary guards next to him, ping-ping-pong With the sound of Pang's footsteps, more than a dozen congressional guards in black rushed into the crowd, dragged the four Huang Chunyao who had beaten them up, and ran outside while dragging them. At the same time, Zhou Yanru yelled loudly again.

"Huang Chunyao and others negate the Constitution! Congress beat members, violated the laws of Ming Dynasty, deprived them of their status as members of Congress, and kicked them out of Congress! The votes of four people are invalidated! The "Declaration of Human Rights" is abolished!"

Today's parliamentary system is still in line with the interests of the vast majority of people. Looking at Huang Chunyao, Chen Zilong, Qian Qianyi and other Conservative Party leaders who are still yelling while walking, they all scolded their mothers in their hearts. Seeing that Zhou Yanru is about to announce The meeting was over, but Qian Qianyi, who was sweating profusely, suddenly stood up in Fulin's heart and shouted loudly.

"Wait, there are still people who haven't voted!"

"All the 470 and two congressmen present have cast their votes, Qian Qianyi, don't mess around!"

Eager to calm things down, Zhou Yanru yelled angrily again, but Qian Qianyi's next words made him stutter.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty hasn't voted yet!"

As a symbol of the Ming Empire, like the Queen of England, Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian also has the right to five votes, but the emperor has been far away and is about to be forgotten. He never thought that at this time he was carried out by the Conservative Party. Zhou Yanru was immediately dumbfounded .

"Please Your Majesty!"

"Please Your Majesty!"

At this time, there were no eunuchs in the palace, and the voices of the palace guards echoed in the Daming Forbidden Palace...
