Chapter 56 (20) Sun Kewang's election

Wang Fuchen died in battle, which caused the morale of Sun Kewang's troops to be low, so everyone turned around and went to Guizhou.After arriving in Zunyi, everyone gathered for a meeting. Sun Kewang said: Leadership, and only leadership, is the real driving force for history. Sun Kewang said: Without our leadership, we would not have everything we have. What Sun Kewang meant was that everyone had to choose a leader.Snakes can't do without heads, people can't do without heads, and armies can't do without heads. Attending this meeting, there are four top leaders. They are: General Sun Kewang of Pingdong, General Li Dingguo of Anxi, General Liu Wenxiu of Funan, and one named Bai Wenxuan. Although this person is not Zhang Xianzhong's godson, his status in the army is comparable to the previous three.

Everyone is on par, so who should listen to whom? Democratic elections, voting. Sun Kewang said: We have democratic elections, one person, one vote, and whoever gets the most votes is the ruler of the world. Everyone has no experience in democratic voting. They don’t know that four people are an even number. When voting, it is easy for two candidates to get the same number of votes, so they said in a daze: Agree. He ordered someone to take a piece of white paper, cut it into four parts, and put it on the table together with the pen and ink. The four brothers retreated side by side, and then Sun Kewang walked over first, went to the table, picked up a pen, gritted his teeth hard, and wrote his name on the paper: Sun Kewang.

He voted for himself. Li Dingguo didn't know what Sun Kewang did.After Sun Kewang turned the paper over and put it upside down on the table, he walked over, hesitating in his heart, knowing that both Liu Wenxiu and Bai Wenxuan would vote for him, but he shouldn't vote for him again!He wrote the word Sun Kewang on the paper, turned the paper over, and returned it. Liu Wenxiu stepped forward, wrote Li Dingguo, and returned it. When Bai Wenxuan stepped forward, he also voted for Li Dingguo and returned it. Then the four of them walked to the table side by side, turned over the four ballot papers, and, tsk tsk, Sun Kewang got two votes, and Li Dingguo also got two votes.

draw. The three of Li Dingguo were a little dumbfounded and were at a loss for a while.But Sun Kewang had expected this situation, and he said in a deep voice: Dingguo and I, one person, two votes, are equally popular.But I am the elder brother of Dingguo; moreover, my name is the same as that of my adoptive father. My adoptive father’s nickname is Wang Wang, and I am also Wang Wang...so I should be the master of the world. opinion? The three of Li Dingguo were stunned and didn't know what to say for a while. Sun Kewang said: "Since everyone agrees that I am the master of the world, then it is difficult for me to refuse, and the meeting will be adjourned."

So Sun Kewang became the lord of the world.
