MTL - God’s Game I Am the Great Will of the Planet-Chapter 791 : Domination of Southern Xinjiang (17) Passive Resistance
Excerpted from The History of the Fall of the Parson Dynasty
"The June uprising shook the old nobles, and these old nobles were not only the diehard nobles like Li Xini, but also the Atona family themselves. They were also shaken by the power of the insurgents, and thus were afraid, so their strategy was from Support turned to contain the insurgents."
"After the end of the uprising on June 6, it was the last honeymoon period for both sides. Then the Royal Guards were dispatched and began to suppress the market. Among them, there was a request for the insurgents to return their weapons, but at this time, the Atona family was trying to hide people's eyes and ears. There was no formal order, so these actions were nothing more than 'spontaneous actions' of part of the Royal Guard."
"Because it was a spontaneous act, it was vaguely guessed that the hypocritical insurgents of the Atona family strictly refused, and then the insurgents demanded that a new parliament be convened immediately to represent all the people. Facing this already agreed request, The Atona family is compliant, that is, they do not give a positive answer, they just delay and do not reply because they need to push the market."
"...On the 8th, the market was quite stable, and there was no need to suppress it, so the members of the parliament were prepared to meet and give speeches in front of the square, asking Celiti III to fulfill his promise, but Celiti III did not send an envoy to respond until the evening. , claiming they agree to call a parliament, but only if the arsenal is restored to normal."
"The official explanation is that this means that the weapons that flowed out have been withdrawn, and they have not been dropped on some, certainly not the insurgents, but some thugs with bad intentions."
"There was a heated debate among the members of the Preparatory Council. The enlightened nobles headed by Werner resolutely agreed to surrender their weapons to make a compromise with Seliti III, while the faction of Shiairi resolutely opposed it. In the end, the two sides voted, and the decision was made by twelve. The slight advantage of the votes passed through Warner's opinion, but Shiaire and others still hid a lot of weapons and did not hand them in."
"...Seliti III has not completed the inventory of the arsenal, and continues to delay the time... On the 10th, a demonstration took place in the square. Celiti III, who had not been seen for several days, finally reappeared on the city wall and promised the demonstrators that within a week Announce the preparations for the new parliament."
"...On the 12th, Celiti III announced the establishment of a provisional council to serve as a substitute for the suspension of the grand council, and one-third of the members of the provisional council were appointed without an election, all of them from the Atona family faction. The members, many of them notorious nobles, were in an uproar when Batty Rosston was there."
Excerpted from The Old Regime and the Revolution
"...The Atona Family Provisional Council appoints only one-third of the members, and its purpose is undoubtedly to agree that the remaining two-thirds can be elected through elections that fully meet the requirements of the Enlightenment in the past, that is, not by blood, but by Eligibility to vote by property."
"In the eyes of people like Lorraine, this can not only allow the less powerful Atona family to have influence on the parliament, but also compromise with the enlighteners and the old nobles, but this is not thankful on both sides."
"Enlighteners are divided into compromise factions, resistance factions and hardliners. The Compromisers headed by Warner believe that the enlighteners are less powerful, so naturally they should unite and cooperate with Seliti III at this time, otherwise they may be counterattacked by the old nobles. , thereby setting back the reform movement that had just begun.”
"The hardliners represented by Ji Weiluo believe that it is precisely because the enlighteners are too weak that they must keep their hearts, otherwise they are weak and lose the concept they originally insisted on, which will inevitably lead to division and then be blocked. Litti III and these people are at the point where they can't recognize themselves."
"The resistance faction headed by Shiairi believes that the enlightened person can neither choose to compromise, nor can he resist with such a strong attitude, which will be regarded as a mob by other nobles, so the strategy that the enlightened person should adopt is passive resistance. , refuses to recognize the legitimacy of the Provisional Council and refuses any cooperation with the Provisional Council."
"The old nobles, the enlightened nobles who didn't join the Preparatory Council and who have swallowed up many of the orthodox nobles, are very angry about it."
"These nobles who were born in the superior local area have always looked down on the Atona family from far away Fibibo, and thought that the Atona family wanted to overthrow the parliament and seize power by means of a coup d'état. As long as you provide support to the hard-liners of the enlightenment, you can overthrow the so-called provisional parliament without dirty hands."
When Celiti III proposed the establishment of a provisional council, the enlighteners were reorganizing their organizations, because the conflict with Warner and others reminded the enlighteners that although they temporarily formed alliances with some enlightened nobles and increased their preparations The power of the parliament also makes preparations for the parliament mixed.
However, this unstable alliance is extremely prone to fluctuations, and this disagreement is undoubtedly the forerunner, so they have to form an organization outside the preparation parliament to unite the real enlightenment and the enlightened nobles who truly yearn for enlightenment.
And the name of this organization is closely related to another topic, that is, there has never been a scene like today in the history of Xibo, so close to the era of enlightenment dreamed by the ancestors such as Arue, and when this era is finally coming, What are the enlighteners supposed to do? How should we call this movement?
Later generations called the following movement the "Great Revolution", but now even Ji Weiluo, who became a hard-line leader because of his fame due to the "June Uprising", never thought that these people would launch a great revolution that wiped out everything. , even he believes that his purpose is to ensure that Celiti III accepts the claims of these people through a tough attitude.
It is known that after several days of intense and enthusiastic discussions, the enlighteners finally enthusiastically confirmed the title of this and subsequent events, "enlightenment reform movement", and thus happily called themselves reformers, but they did not. You know, Leng Yi has directly identified the divine language of the "Enlightenment and Reform Movement" as the "Great Revolution".
After setting their goals, the people who were now to be called reformers began to unite all the Enlightenment clubs in the capital, forming the "Reform League" as an organization to coordinate all the Enlightenment clubs, claiming that only those who agreed with the Enlightenment could join.
What made Shiaire speechless was that Warner came in again and declared that he supported the ideas of the enlightened, so in the end, even the reform alliance still brought in a lot of enlightened nobles.
After the establishment of the Reform Alliance, the first test placed in front of them was how to deal with the backsliding of Celiti III?
The members of the Reform Alliance put forward three opinions in total. Werner, who had sneaked into the Reform Alliance, proposed a weak compromise strategy as always, while Ji Weiluo, who was promoted to the Reform Alliance by Shiairi, proposed a resolute resistance strategy. The idea is a passive resistance strategy.
The three strategies had a fierce confrontation at the meeting. Many congressmen sneered at Xi Ailee for promoting Ji Weiluo against everyone's opinions, but now he shoots himself in the foot, but Xi Ailee said frankly about this, yes. Disagreements are common.
In the fierce debate, the meeting was delayed, so even though it was the agreed closing time, everyone still continued the meeting. If they were hungry, they would bring some bread and make do with it to temporarily fill the meeting. own hunger.
Under this circumstance, the Reform Alliance finally completed the vote in the middle of the night on the 12th, and Shiaire's "passive resistance" strategy won the most votes, and was thus established as the guiding ideology for the next action.
On the 13th, the Reform League convened the second meeting of the Preparatory Council (the first time was a pitch oath), and the Preparatory Council members overwhelmingly passed the strategy of "passive resistance" by Shiaire, and then the Preparatory Council issued a statement in Batiros, Claiming that the establishment of the Provisional Assembly is illegal, the Preparatory Assembly will not cooperate in any way with the Provisional Assembly.
After the announcement was made in the palace, Lorraine angrily smashed the gorgeous vase on the table and bluntly denounced the entire preparation council members as traitors.
When the guard asked Lorraine how to deal with it, the angry Lorraine replied: "The election on July 1 will be held as usual, but I want to see if they recognize it!"
So the time came to July 1st. In general, apart from the Atona family's own forces~www.novelbuddy.com~, only some trashy fish who were trying to speculate came to vote. Those who are really influential, no matter what Whether it is preparing for the parliament or the old nobles, there is no intention to come here.
But Lorraine ignored this. After the deadline on the 3rd, Lorraine announced that the election of the provisional parliament had been completed. , the other members are obscure petty citizens.
And the most embarrassing thing for Lorraine is that on the 5th, a big news broke out in the market. A rogue disguised as a big businessman actually sneaked into the parliament and sat in a noble seat that only big nobles could sit in the past. It was widely joked for a while, and people dubbed it the "Rogue Council", although there was only one real rogue.
Speaker Li Xini was in critical condition of apoplexy and his health deteriorated sharply, but this did not mean that he died immediately, so now he is still in high spirits, lying on the bed and giving instructions to the enlightened nobles:
"Take advantage of this great opportunity to defeat the power of the orthodox nobles in one fell swoop, so that in addition to the neutral faction, Batiros will only be left with us and the Atona faction."
Li Xini sharpened his knife to the orthodox nobles, so all the enlightened nobles stood together with the preparation council. The orthodox nobles had lost their power and chose one of the enlightened and the Atona. No doubt they preferred to choose the enlightened. Therefore, only the Atona faction is left alone, and the subsequent plot is not difficult to imagine.
After the election of the Provisional Council, the Preparatory Council passed a third meeting and issued a statement that since the Provisional Council was an illegal council, all actions he took were illegal. The Preparatory Council and the members who supported the Preparatory Council would comply with it. "Passive resistance" strategy, refusing to cooperate in any way.
