Chapter 837 Dominate the Southern Border (63) with only a few muddy water fish left

The Directorate Government established under the Mother Law of 2928 consists of 5 Governors, of which 4 are elected from the National Assembly and are called the Governor of State, and one is elected from the Court and is called the Legal Director.

The State Superintendent is in charge of the executive power, the Legal Superintendent is in charge of the judicial power, the legislative power is still under the control of the National Assembly, and the existence of multiple leaders ensures that there will be no second Ropierre as much as possible.

After the election of the State Councilor, the National Assembly will authorize them to set up the State Council. The list of the State Council is formulated by the Directorate, without the consent of the National Council, but the National Council reserves the right to impeach the State Council.

As for the judicial superintendent, he will not form a legal cabinet, but more to coordinate the relationship between the court and the National Assembly.

In short, the core of the “Mother Law of 2928” is the separation of powers and checks and balances, especially for the executive power, because the memory of Ropierre to them is too deep.

However, too much separation of powers and checks and balances has led to a significant reduction in the efficiency of transaction processing. In addition, the veteran reformers are either disgraced and defected to foreign countries, or they were hanged by Ropierre in the age of terror. Neither Nar nor Maher had suppressed the prestige of the Directorate, which soon became synonymous with infighting, inefficiency, and incompetence.

High prices and chaotic rule made the no-clothes movement, which was hit by Ropierre in half a month and disappeared, made a comeback in the winter, which eventually led to the outbreak of the Xueyue Uprising.

The winter of 2928 was an exceptionally cold winter. Many civilians who could not afford expensive food and fuel died tragically in the midst of starvation and cold. In that year, only half of Batiros’ newborns and old people were born. Left and right are unnatural deaths, and many are eaten alive by hungry people, not to mention other areas.

In this case, however, the Directorate is not discussing how to limit prices, which may be suspected of returning to the reign of terror, but discussing the “Corruption Act” proposed by Maher, also known as the “Frost Moon Act”.

In Maher’s view, the general corruption of parliamentarians today is rooted in the poor treatment of parliamentarians, which increases the possibility of them accepting bribes. The so-called high salary and low income.

In fact, the purpose of this bill is the same as the “Mother Law of 2928”, which is to divert attention, but the cold air will eventually force the public to turn their attention from politics to practical life.

The Frost Moon Act was finally passed by the National Assembly on the 11th of the Frost Moon (November), and as soon as the news came out, the people of Batiros became very angry. Salary is not enough? I can go to your grandma.

Angry people arranged the National Assembly in various ways, such as “the high platform of the Congress is full, and the people of Batiros are dead”, which is a mockery of why the National Assembly does not eat meat; ” This is a mockery of the frequent coup d’etat since the Great Shih-Ber Revolution, and the political system has been changed several times.

Another example is “the birds are exhausted and the beasts are scattered, and there are only a few fish in troubled waters.” This is directly pointing at Maer’s nose and scolding. If it wasn’t for the support of the people, would you be able to make a great revolution? What is it now? Cross the river and demolish the bridge? If it wasn’t for the death of Shiaire and Ji Weiluo, how could someone like you form a government?

These are all limericks made up by literate peasants. As for those illiterate civilians, they can only use all kinds of friendly language in the market to greet the members themselves and their ancestors.

After learning that his father had become countless cave brothers, the National Assembly was furious, so on the 8th of Xueyue (December), it passed and promulgated the “National Physical Security Law”, also known as “Xueyue Decree”.

The general meaning of the “Snow Moon Decree” is that parliamentarians are representatives elected by all the people, and they should represent all the people. Dare to arrange parliamentarians means insulting all the people, so they must be punished by all the people.

Not long after the decree was promulgated, a sharp-eyed citizen noticed something was wrong. He found traces of the terror decree in the Frost Moon Decree, that is, suspects who violated the decree could be punished without trial.

After discovering this, the citizens immediately went around to publicize that on the one hand, the Directorate-General overthrew Ropierre, but on the other hand, it resumed Ropier’s habit of arresting people at will, so the National Assembly’s abolition of the reign of terror was false, and the seizure of power was true.

So this citizen who dared to tell the truth was honored to be the first citizen who was arrested for violating the “National Sports Security Law” and was pulled out to make hot pot base.

And with the arrest of this citizen as a fuse, the people of Batiros who had endured the government’s **** for more than two months could no longer bear it, and the “Xueyue Uprising” broke out.

Goose feather-like snow fell from the sky one after another, like a silver silk garment, lightly covering Batiros’ body, but the ground burning with flames destroyed this quiet and beautiful scene, and the national self-defense The army dragged the corpses in the dead silence and threw them into the fire.

On the 10th of Xue Yue (December), due to the increasingly chaotic situation in Xie Bo in the past few months, the dissatisfaction of the people has reached a critical point. With the implementation of the “National System Security Law”, and soon there was the first victim, a citizen who told the truth, which completely detonated the uprising.

The uprising was just a peaceful demonstration at the beginning. Newly clothed men in ragged rags gathered at the gate of the watchdog, demanding the release of the citizen who dared to speak the truth.

The National Guard inside the inspector ignored the demonstrators outside, and the inspector general said bluntly that he wanted to hang them out. It’s so cold outside, no matter how long they are, they will disperse on their own.

This kind of dialogue is just like a few years ago when Lorraine said to ignore the demonstrators and they would disperse on their own after a while. This time, after a long and futile wait, the shirtless men angrily stepped forward and began to push and knead. , During the push and rubbing, I don’t know who fired a Ling Sui gun to kill a shirtless man, completely detonating the uprising.

The angry shirtless man first smashed the inspection, hanging all the National Guards inside from the beams of the inspection, as in the age of terror.

After the inspection station was turned into ruins, the clothless men came out with confusion, because this was a purely spontaneous uprising, and after venting their anger, the clothless men did not know what to do.

Next, some shirtless men ran to seize the arsenal, to imitate the ancestors such as Shiaire, and use legal violence to overthrow the evil government.

But more clothesless men chose to rob the store, after all, the rising prices made it impossible for them to buy through normal means.

Many shirtless men rushed into the merchants with wooden sticks and knives, beat the clerks who tried to stop them, and wantonly looted food and necessities in the stores. After the looting, they also hanged the merchants in the name of the Reign of Terror. In the situation of high prices after the end, the people began to miss the era of stable prices again.

The actions of these people quickly spread throughout Batiros, and countless people who suffered from high prices and whose hearts had been raised by wild people rushed into the merchants. The riot spread quickly like a plague. This is the “Xueyue Uprising”.

Compared with the previous uprisings, the biggest feature of the “Xueyue Uprising” is that it is disorganized and undisciplined. I joined the uprising when I robbed the store myself, but the team was a mixed bag.

After the initial chaos, Mael quickly assembled the army, and after the warning of the shooting was ineffective, Mael did not hesitate to order a counterattack to suppress.

The rabble-like insurgents were vulnerable to the counterattack of the National Guard. Even the sun had not yet set. The insurgent troops, which once numbered tens of thousands, had basically been suppressed, more than 3,000 people were killed, and more than 2,000 people were killed. Arrested and the rest fled home.

What the guards are doing at this time is to throw the bodies of more than 3,000 people into the firewood. It stands to reason that even if these people are dead, they should be hanged on the gallows, but Mael graciously granted amnesty For these poor people forced by life, so they are authorized to burn them.

When carrying the corpse, the guards would always hear the sound of the corpse rubbing against the ground, and there was a warm firewood next to it, but the corpse was not easy to ignite, and it was still snowing today, so a mage had to be placed there to cast flame magic. , to keep the firewood burning all the time.

Even though the guards were carrying the corpse surrounded by all kinds of movements, they felt an extreme emptiness and silence, as if there was no sound; even though there was a warm firewood burning the corpse next to them, the guards felt the utter emptiness. Bone cold~www.readmtl.com~ He always felt that someone was pointing at him behind his back.

One of the guards who thought so was called Araby. When he picked up another corpse, he saw that it was the skeleton of a child who was not yet an adult. Although the corpse had been beaten in half, it was still visible from the skeleton. It can be judged, so Arabi collapsed. He threw away the corpse as if infected with the plague, and staggered away.

Arabi is also a very old guard, having been a member of the ordinary militia since the “September Uprising”, and then the National Guard.

It’s just that he didn’t have the opportunity of Maher. In fact, guards like Araby are the majority of the National Guard. There is only one Maher, so the turnaround is now, Araby is still an ordinary person. ‘s guards.

Since the “September Uprising”, even though Arabi faced Seliti III, who was in power, or Shiairi, Arabi held the flintlock gun in his hand fearlessly every time, because he firmly believed What I have done is a just cause and a better future for Xibo.

But today, Arabi’s long-standing belief has finally been shaken. What is he fighting for? For a better future for Shibo? Or for the meat eaters at the top? If so, why overthrow Celite III? What’s the difference between now and then?

However, Xiebo’s prices are extremely high now, and even the guards have a hard life. After a day’s retreat at home, Arabi, who was urged by his wife and children, had no choice but to go back to the guardhouse on duty.

When entering the guardhouse, Araby originally thought that he would be criticized violently and even fired, but he did not expect that the captain of the guard just patted Araby on the shoulder sympathetically and said, “It’s not easy for anyone”, Arabi was demobilized.
