The first important thing that Zhang Jinfang, the governor of Guangdong Province, had to do at this time was to promote the election of 31 members of the Guangdong Provincial House of Representatives. During the Republic of China, the population of Guangdong Province was one of the most populous areas in the country, so according to the election of one member of the House of Representatives by a million people, Guangdong Province will definitely play an important role in the National Assembly in the future.

Since January of the 10th year of the Republic of China, all newspapers, magazines and radio stations in China have been reporting on the election of the new Congress, unlike the first Congress, which was all held by the Kuomintang, the second Congress was controlled by Yuan Shikai, and the third Congress was replaced by the Anfu Congress. Of course, Mark Twain's American-style gubernatorial black scandal is also constantly being staged, but this is a game rule, everyone abides by the rules of the game, and everyone has fun playing it.

The order of election for the House of Representatives seats is as follows: the parties first advertise in the provinces, then give voters a ballot with the names and flags of each party printed on the ballot, and the people have to fill in their lives after the ballot and press their fingerprints in the blank space behind the party they support. The ballot papers are single-elected, each person votes only once, and then the votes are counted by the neutral side, i.e. the Wehrmacht, which does not participate in the political struggle, and each party sends more than one observer to supervise it. Each county aggregates the ballots in the state, which in turn aggregates the ballot in the provincial capital. It is then handed over to student volunteers and the Defence Force for statistics, which are still supervised by the parties.

However, if there is a province with the largest number of deputies in the country, it is not Guangdong Province, but Sichuan Province. Even after ten years of war in Sichuan, the total population of Sichuan is as high as 40 million, with 40 deputies in the House of Representatives, and the least populous Mongolia, Nurgan, Dongji Province, and Taixi Province. Anxi Province, Xinjiang Province, Suiyuan. Chahar and Rehe both have only two senators, and one Guangdong province is enough to equal the total number of deputies in the remaining nine provinces.

Sun Liwen is extremely confident in future elections. Defeated Xu Shichang in one fell swoop. He also gambled to become the new president of the Republic of China, and with this mentality, the KMT's public opinion propaganda was immediately launched throughout the country, and various other parties also carried out propaganda throughout the country.

At this time, Sichuan, which has a maximum of 40 seats in the National House of Representatives, has become the focus of contention among all political parties. If the KMT wins Sichuan again, it will be able to win the National Assembly in the future.

In addition to Guangdong, which has 31 seats, Sichuan has 40 seats. Shandong has 34 seats and Jiangsu has 31. Zhejiang has 19 seats, Anhui has 20 seats, Henan has 29 seats, Zhili has 28 seats, Hubei has 25 seats, Hunan has 27 seats, and other provinces have different seats, but all of them are not as populous as these most populous provinces.

The total number of members of the House of Representatives of the Parliament is 441, but it is doubtful whether the actual number reported by the provinces is true. Some provinces overreported and others underreported, for example, some people do not believe that Henan has a population of more than 29 million and can win 29 parliamentary votes. After all, there was a great drought in the Central Plains, and Henan successively fled two million refugees to the north.

Of course, the parties were suspicious of each other, but they could not change the facts, and Premier Jin Yunpeng announced that the election of the fifth president (the first president Yuan Shikai, the second president Li Yuanhong, the third president Feng Guozhang, and the fourth president Xu Shichang) and the national census would be conducted immediately after the end of October 10 of the 10th year of the Republic of China. In the future, a census will be conducted every ten years to redraw the number of senators, and this year is the 10th year of the Republic of China, the 20th year of the Republic of China, and the 30th year of the Republic of China...... It is always customary to census the population every 10 years.

What no one expected was that at this time, the warlords in Sichuan suddenly announced that they would unite and form a Sichuan Township Party, which caused the masters to laugh, especially the Kuomintang propaganda officers, who were very disdainful of this Sichuan Township Party.

Sure enough, after the Sichuan warlords announced the formation of the Township Party, the commander of the National Defense Forces, General Wang Maoru of the Republic of China, declared the Sichuan Township Party to be an illegal political party, and the political party has a military background, and according to the "Regulations on the Election of Members of Parliament", no political party may have a military background, trade with the military, or party members enter the military, otherwise it will be regarded as automatically relinquishing the legitimacy of the political party. The overseers of Sichuan were dumbfounded, when did this rule come out, we don't know for Mao? Drew ridicule from everyone.

The Kuomintang Party, the Progressive Party, the Zhi Gong Party, the Youth Promotion Research Association, the National Rejuvenation Party, the Marne Party, the Socialist Party, the Republican Party, etc., have all gone to Sichuan to canvass for votes, and what makes Sun Liwen angry is that some of the Kuomintang members of the League actually formed a separate political party called the People's Party, which makes Sun Liwen incomprehensible.

Of course, what Sun Liwen didn't expect was that in the end, it was the little-known Youth Promotion Research Association that won in Sichuan, and they actually became the winners of the Sichuan parliamentary election in one fell swoop, and at this time this organization was really well-known to everyone. The party only holds three provincial parliamentary seats, namely Shandong, Henan and Sichuan, but the total number of seats in the parliaments of the three provinces has reached one hundred and three, while the total number of members of the House of Representatives is 443 (the original plan of 426 seats is the population report of the second year of the Republic of China, and the total number of new newspapers in each province is slightly higher than that of the second year of the Republic of China, so the number of senator seats has increased to this point), which indirectly indicates that the total population of the Republic of China was 443 million, and the total population of the world at that time was only 1.2 billion. China accounts for one-third of the world's total, and it can be said that the total population alone has shocked the world.

In the past, other countries around the world knew that there were many Chinese people, but it has always been a question of what kind of dù is so much, but now the total number of Chinese people can be clearly calculated by multiplying the number of people in China's House of Representatives by millions. First of all, Japan jumped out and threatened that China threatened ...... However, the Japanese government's remarks are ridiculous, and it is not China that is now engaged in a trade war with whites, but Japan.

At this time, four larger parties gradually emerged in the House of Representatives election, among which the Kuomintang Party, the Youth Promotion Research Association, and the National Revival Party each stood a quarter of the votes, the Progressive Party occupied one-eighth of the votes, and other parties also won a part of the votes, such as the Zhi Gong Party, which won five House of Representatives votes in Gansu. The votes of the provincial senators in the Senate must be the same as those in the House of Representatives, so the Zhi Gong Party received seven votes in this general election. The seven votes of the Zhi Gong Party are okay, and others, such as the Socialist Party and the Republican Party, have become opposition parties.

A total of six candidates were announced, namely Xu Shichang supported by the Progressive Party, Sun Liwen supported by the Kuomintang Party, Meng Enyuan supported by the National Renaissance Party, Cao Kun supported by the Socialist Party and the Republican Party, Li Zhaoze supported by the Ma Party, and Ms. Zhou Kailing, a person without party affiliation. This was the first time that China had elected a president democratically, and it was also the first time that the power of running for election had been handed over to the people, and it immediately aroused praise from all over the world.

Ms. Zhou Kailing, a non-partisan presidential candidate, is a native of Ningbo, Zhejiang, and her family is a wealthy businessman in Ningbo, a large family, and she is also the first batch of female students to study abroad. However, the status of women in some of the countries where she studied was also very low, which made her feel that the status of women in the world should be improved. And when she returns to China, she sees Chinese women again, and she is far less respected than foreign actresses. There was a very embarrassing thing in front of her, because she didn't wrap her little feet, and no one dared to marry her. As long as the Zhou women's football team is mentioned in the big families in Ningbo, it is known that it is Ms. Zhou Kailing. So Zhou Kailing went from twenty-two to thirty-two years old, from a big girl to an old girl, and now no one wants to marry her. This led to Ms. Zhou's strong desire to improve the treatment and status of women, and she especially hated the Han tradition of binding small feet, and organized many women in Zhejiang to promote the abolition of the tradition of binding small feet. This time, Ms. Zhou announced her candidacy for president with the intention of promoting her ideas throughout the country.

Presidential candidate Ms. Zhou Kailing's Han women's request to remove the small feet is indeed difficult for some strong people, which is like a traditional custom in a region, although it is a vice, but it will cause great controversy if it is taken to change. Just as in later generations, Chinese women asked for financial resources to get married, and Indian women asked for large dowries to get married, both of which were a folk vice, but they were not illegal. It can only be said that Ms. Zhou Kailing's struggle represents a women's awakening, but this awakening does not mean that it needs to be enforced.

Even though Wang Maoru promulgated the Law on the Protection of the Rights and Interests of Women and Children in the north to protect more women and children, he did not dare to challenge this tradition lightly, or rather, he would be bored to challenge the small foot complex of the gentry across the country. It's just that he admires Ms. Zhou's courage, how can a weak woman who can stand up and challenge traditional vices at this time not be admired.

The presidential election in the National Assembly is a multi-vote system, not a so-called Western-style system that requires a majority or more to be effective, so all of these six people, except for Li Zhaoze and Ms. Zhou Kailing, have a chance to serve as president, after all, there are no candidates for the Youth Promotion Research Association. Liu Enge, the leader of the Youth Promotion Research Association, was a lackey of the Anfu department at the beginning, and he was definitely not qualified to run for the post of president, and he also had a clear purpose of only competing for the post of chairman of the Senate. As a result, many parties have extended olive branches to Liu Enge. But the real core of the Youth Promotion Research Association is Pu Ji and Dongfang Hong, and Liu Enge can only support himself and dare not make decisions. (To be continued.) )
