Chapter 20 Calm
…
We silk weavers,
Every one of them was so poor that they were naked.
People who are high officials,
Put on your coat and wear your brocade breastband.
We weave these,
However, even if he died of hunger, he would not have a piece of cloth to cover himself with.
We silk weavers,
Every one of them was so poor that they were naked.
But our world is coming soon,
Your world will be destroyed.
At that time, we will
The mourning clothes of the old world,
Because the thunder of uprising has already sounded in the sky.
The second Lyon workers' uprising shocked France and helped Austria.
The situation of internal and external troubles that Franz expected did not occur. On the contrary, it seemed to be extremely smooth.
It seems that all problems have been solved after the Hungarians decided to withdraw from the German Zolls Union.
The Prussian ambassador hanged himself and spent all the funds allocated by the Prussian government.
To add to the disgrace of the Prussian government, more than one dancing girl was seen entering and leaving the Prussian ambassador's room.
So some bad guys connected money, women and ambassadors and concocted a series of scandals.
Prussia's successor Foreign Minister had to say in public that the former Foreign Minister loved his wife very much, and the cause of the matter was under investigation.
It would have been better not to investigate. Once investigated, the Prussians discovered that the matter was related to an organization called the Polish Restoration Army.
At this time, the Prussian military could not sit still and assassinated the Prussian Foreign Minister. This was too bold.
The Prussian high-level officials were even more insecure, fearing that they would be found by members of the Polish Nationalist Army. The turnover of Berlin's brothels dropped sharply that month.
The French were not much better. Just after the plague, a workers' uprising of unprecedented scale broke out in Lyon.
This is entirely because factory owners do not treat workers as human beings. At this time, French workers had to work eighteen hours a day and even had to work overtime.
Since a large-scale uprising broke out in France in 1831, the top management promulgated the October Decree in order to prevent workers from forming associations.
In October 1833, the July Monarchy government issued a decree prohibiting association and the existence of groups of more than twenty people.
But as the saying goes, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
The workers broke into pieces and established countless small groups of less than twenty people.
As a result, the association not only did not stop, but became more and more crazy, which made King Louis Philippe very angry.
In March 1834, the rulers of the July Dynasty issued a decree prohibiting workers from organizing new societies, forcing workers to dissolve existing mutual aid societies, otherwise all members would be punished, and ordered the arrest of worker leaders.
This angered the workers, who decided to take up arms against the July Monarchy.
But the French were much more efficient than the Austrians in suppressing the revolution.
The troops of the July Dynasty had long been prepared. After the uprising broke out, the troops of the July Dynasty quickly entered the city, occupied various crossroads and major strongholds, and set up artillery outside the city. The Lyon rebels were already in trouble.
Of course, the French's ability to rebel is not limited. The rebels are rich in experience. Even when faced with the pressure of soldiers, they still choose street fighting.
If the army wants to win, it must attack room by room, and it will have to pay a huge price.
Fight with the army in the field, unless you encounter a fool general with a group of soldiers who don't want to fight.
Otherwise, the rebel army without heavy firepower will face the fate of being massacred by the regular army.
On the other hand, the uprising in Paris caught the senior officials of the July Dynasty somewhat unexpectedly.
July Monarchy, Cabinet.
"Guizot, damn it, now that the country is in such dire straits, you're still caring about the damn Austrians."
"Thiers, you short-sighted fool, the Austrians are competing with the Prussians for the leadership of Germany. No matter which side wins, it will be a disaster for France. Do you understand?"
"Before the Germans cause disaster, the workers outside will rush in and hang you and me from the street lamps."
Finally, at Thiers's insistence, tens of thousands of troops entered Paris to maintain order. The uprising was suppressed, but it also brought the entire French government to a near standstill.
At the same time, the "Bloody Week in Lyon" begins. Soldiers were ordered to kill anyone who looked like an insurrectionist or sympathized with the insurrectionists.
In bloody street fighting, men and women were dragged out of their rooms and shot in the street.
The atrocities continued for a week, and the last rebels were shot dead in Colderry Cathedral.
"Char's death will not be in vain, he is a hero!" A tall bearded man wrapped a young man tightly in a rag.
"I'm not afraid of death. Let me go back. I will fight them to the end!" The young man wanted to break away, but was held tightly by the bearded hands.
"If you go back, their death will be in vain! We must live well for them. One day General Napoleon will come back to save us." The bearded man shouted.
"But General Napoleon is dead?" The young man had tears in his eyes.
"General Napoleon also has a nephew, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. And General Jérôme is also alive."
"But what if they are gone?" the young man asked.
"France needs Napoleon, and there must be a Napoleon." The bearded man replied firmly.
"Yes! There must be a Napoleon." The young man named Charles' eyes flashed with perseverance.
At this time, there were many people in ragged clothes like them, but the French army did not kill them all.
Among the people in this team, some have regained their strength, while others have lost their souls.
The uprising in Lyon, France has failed, and for this reason Thalia also lost Franz's salary for a year.
After all, in the eyes of people at the time, French uprisings always seemed to succeed.
At this time, Louis Bonaparte had just become a captain in the Berne Artillery Regiment, and Jérôme became a prince through the blessing of his father-in-law and was spending his remaining years in Italy.
In 1834, Louis Napoleon Bonaparte was always surrounded by all kinds of conspirators and dangerous elements dissatisfied with the country, and even fanatical admirers and self-righteous liars.
A man named Pesigny approached Louis Bonaparte.
This Pesini once joined the French army, but was always a low-level officer; later he went to Bohemia to work as editor-in-chief, but was quickly replaced; in the end he discovered that only Bonapartism was his path to heaven. .
Passini met Louis Bonaparte under the introduction of the Napoleonic poet Belmonte, and the two hit it off.
Pesini advocated that heroes should not care about the current situation, but should create the current situation. These words deeply moved Louis Bonaparte.
In fact, Louis Bonaparte never gave up action, which was in perfect agreement with Pesini's ideas.
So the two decided to go to Strasbourg to create a situation.
Within the Austrian Empire, several small uprisings were quickly suppressed.
Without the French and Prussians, the Austrian dignitaries seemed to have become eggplants beaten by frost.
Within the Hungarians, since Prince Eltházy has lost power, they need to elect a new leader.
But everyone's strength is about the same, so things become interesting.
The Hungarian nobles suddenly fell collectively to Austria's side, and they would all be Austria's loyal servants until a new boss was decided. .
