Chapter 86: Napoleon's Restoration
"Xu Qing, our Bonaparte family is ready. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ According to the plan, in about sixteen hours, there will be a military coup in Paris, France, when our Napoleonic family will officially return to the emperorship of France. Princess Mathilde said.
Xu Qing suddenly lightly picked Mathilde's chin, and then asked: "Your Napoleonic family is about to become the emperor of France, do you think you will 'cross the river and tear down the bridge'?" β
Of course, Mathilde knew what Xu Qing meant by this, after all, following Xu Qing, a Chinese for so long, naturally he had already learned Chinese and understood the meaning of the words "crossing the river and demolishing the bridge".
"How is that possible?" Mathilde hurriedly shook his head and said, "We need you to help with the aftermath of our Bonaparte family!" France is already a mess at the moment, and even if we Bonaparte become emperors again, it will not be so easy to solve. Without your Yinghua Bank help, we would not have been able to recover. So, don't worry, I won't go, I'm still your woman. β
"Hahahaha......" Xu Qing finally laughed, he wanted to see if this Frenchman was interested, and it seemed that he still understood.
But Xu Qing suddenly said in a cold voice: "Princess Mathilde, it doesn't seem to be enough to do this!" After all, we in China, when we became emperors, and before we became emperors, there were two people! Besides, I can't trust you completely! After all, we don't have any marriage procedures, so it's not very safe to do this! Don't talk about promises, I don't believe in promises, as a diplomat, I can't completely believe in the promises of any government, let alone that you are about to become a princess. β
Princess Mathilde smiled wryly and asked, "Then how can you trust the sincerity of our Bonapartes?" β
Mathilde also knew that Xu Qing was suspicious, but in fact, empathy, it was normal to be suspicious. Since ancient times, there have been many people in the East and the West, and before and after taking power, it was completely two people. Before power, he was a man, and after he came to power, he was a ghost! Power is a beast, so it is normal for Xu Qing to worry about it, and Mathilde is also full of mouths that can't explain clearly.
As a politician, who doesn't know anyone, everyone is like this, and no one dares to guarantee the credibility of their words. Xu Qing's worries were also justified, but Mathilde didn't know how to guarantee to be able to convince Xu Qing.
Xu Qing scratched Mathilde's nose and said, "If you want me to trust you, it's actually very simple, give me a child, so that I can trust you!" β
When Mathilde heard this, he immediately understood what Xu Qing meant, and quickly "untied his clothes" directly, and then ......
In Paris, France, under the surge of the Bonaparte family, some officers loyal to the Bonaparte family began to move their troops towards the Tuile Palace of the Orleans dynasty.
"I heard that the front line was defeated, and our French soldiers were defeated!" "The front line has failed!" "Our relatives can't come back......"
All kinds of rumors began to brew among the citizens of Paris, France, and then quickly fermented. Some say that the war at the front was lost, and a large number of soldiers were killed. Some of the soldiers' family members fainted on the spot, and many of the financiers who had been apportioned to buy war bonds fainted directly, because the value of war bonds was worthless after the war was lost.
Even all kinds of plausible rumors began to ferment rapidly, and the series of financial crises brought about by the poor harvest had already made all levels of French society dissatisfied with the government. And the "defeat" of this war has brought everyone's dissatisfaction to the peak, and Paris is like a powder keg driven by the rumors spread by various people's organizations.
"Hurry up and lead the troops, let the soldiers go out on patrol, whoever dares to continue to spread rumors, kill immediately!" "Suppression, nip all threats in the bud!"
The king of France shouted frantically, as the king, of course, he knew that the current situation in France was already very dangerous. But he didn't have any way, in fact, as early as Xu Qing predicted that he would fall because of the revolution, in fact, he also had a premonition. Xu Qing's prediction is not groundless for the French, and the French are actually aware of it.
But there was nothing to do, and now all kinds of rumors were spreading, so that the mad king of France was unwilling to abdicate like this, and he frantically sent soldiers out to maintain the discipline of the citizens of Paris.
"The army has gone to the people to maintain order among the citizens, and the number of troops guarding the Tuile Palace has been greatly reduced, and we can act!" Said some officers of the Napoleonic family.
"Rush! Storm the Tuile Palace! "Storm the Tuile Palace!" β¦β¦
When the king of France heard this, he immediately trembled with fright. The sound was so neat, and there was a group of people walking in neat footsteps, it was clearly the voice of the army.
"Mutiny, this is a mutiny!" The King of France shouted.
Only then did the French king know that he had fallen for the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and the other party deliberately spread rumors among the people, but he hoped that he would withdraw his troops, and then their real killing move was mutiny, not for the people to revolt.
"Your Majesty, someone in the palace colluded with outsiders and let those soldiers in. Even, in your bodyguard ILM, there are ...... There are moles! Said the steward of the palace.
"Let's go, let's go!" Said the King of France.
The king of France hurriedly chose to leave, and Louis Bonaparte replied: "No need to chase, let him get out." Next, we're about to make our debut! β
Soon news spread throughout Paris, that there had been a coup d'Γ©tat in the army, which had ousted the king of France, and that the army had begun to form a provisional government, which was headed by Louis Bonaparte of the House of Bonaparte. In this way, the citizens of Paris, France, are really blinded, but the so-called "democracy" of this era is not perfect, the vast majority of people in France are not real voters, and the so-called elected leaders have nothing to do with them.
Therefore, everyone will not have any opinion on this man of the Bonaparte family to come out as chairman of the provisional government.
"Now we are not suitable to be the emperor directly, we have not really supported us in the people's hearts now, and it is best for us to govern as a provisional government. As long as more problems are solved in the future, then we can all win hearts and minds and provide the foundation for building an empire again in the future! Louis Bonaparte said.
Louis Bonaparte, under Xu Qing's explanation, of course, understood that he could not be the emperor immediately. If you have just mutiny, you will be crowned emperor without any achievements, so that the citizens of Paris will also look down on the Bonaparte family, which will have the opposite effect. It is better to simply govern as the chairman of the provisional government, establish prestige, and proclaim the title of emperor only after "the new official takes office with three fires", so that the resistance of all social strata will be reduced, and this is also justified.
As president of the Provisional Government, Louis Bonaparte quickly hurried to address the citizens of Paris.
"Ladies and gentlemen of Paris, I am Louis Bonaparte, President of the Provisional Government of France, nephew of Napoleon the Great. As Chairman of the Interim Government, I would like to share with you the current situation. We in France have reached the most dangerous time, our domestic economic crisis, but the former king of France is still fighting with all his army and going to war. β
"Of course, the defeat at the front, that is also a rumor, a huge rumor. Our provisional government will find out the situation as soon as possible, and then we will pass on the situation to you as soon as possible. As for those who spread rumors, we will also arrest and not punish them. Please don't believe the rumors easily, we will severely punish those who spread rumors! β
Louis Bonaparte's words made the relatives of the soldiers who thought that they were defeated in front of them feel much better, at least there is hope! They scolded and cursed, and hated those who spread rumors one by one, wishing they would be severely punished!
"Of course I won't say that those who spread rumors are also hired by me!" Louis Bonaparte thought to himself.
Then Louis Bonaparte hurriedly said: "Next, we will negotiate with Russia, and we will get France out of this damn war." We will let our soldiers return to their hometowns and reunite with their families! β
"Woo woo woo ......"
The citizens of France cheered, and no one wanted their families to go to war, especially in times of economic crisis. They were now finally cheering and feeling the hope. In the face of economic crises, especially poor harvests, no one wants to go to war, especially this one, when there is no direct benefit to be gained.
Seeing that the soldiers finally smiled, Louis Bonaparte knew that his new official had succeeded in burning the first fire this time, and announced that he chose to end the war, which could be regarded as a means to win the hearts and minds of the people. Of course, this is only the first one, the symptoms are not the root cause, and the next most important thing is to restore the French economy, otherwise everything will be in vain.
The current economic crisis in France is the result of all this, and if Louis Bonaparte could not solve the economic crisis, the Bonaparte family would not be in power for long even if it was barely restored.
"Next, regarding the domestic economic crisis, I have a strategic cooperation with the world's famous bank, Anglo-Chinese Bank, and they will help us solve the domestic economic crisis through various means. I believe that the economic crisis in France will be resolved to a great extent. When the time comes, our French economy will recover, just around the corner! β
"We can bring finance back to normal order and factories can resume normal production. Let the workers have jobs to earn a living, and then give the peasants a helping hand at all means, so that we will return to normal order in France! β
Louis Bonaparte's words made people from all walks of life in France very excited. You must know that those financial aristocrats are currently plagued by all kinds of bad debts, this series of economic crises originated from the agricultural harvest, after the agricultural harvest fell in the purchasing power of shipbuilding industry products, on the one hand, the industrial factories could not sell products, but also owed usury, so the factories faced closure.
However, the financial aristocracy who lends usury is not having a good time, and a large amount of loans cannot be collected and become bad debts, and they will also become poor ghosts. In this way, France from top to bottom, from peasants to workers, from factory owners to financial aristocrats, hated this French king very much. Ordinary people are in trouble, the middle class is bankrupt, and the wealthy are also panicking, and this is the situation that leads to political instability.
But if order can be restored, financial order can be restored, factory production can be restored, and the people can be almsgiving, it will be beneficial to all classes of people in France. If the Bonapartes were really able to do this, they would not be unable to consider accepting the rule of the Bonapartes.
People from all walks of life in France were talking, and Louis Bonaparte knew that it would not work if he did not speak harshly at this time. If you don't say cruel words, you can't gain the trust of the French.
"I, Louis Bonaparte, swear in the name of my uncle Napoleon the Great, that if I cannot do what I say, then I am willing to resign and step down, and never enter politics!" Louis Bonaparte shouted.
When Louis Bonaparte swore so, it was greeted with cheers from all classes of Paris.
"Long live the Bonapartes!" "Long live Napoleon the Great!" "Long live the Bonapartes!" "Long live the Napoleonic family!" β¦β¦
People all over the world are the same, and many of them don't care about who the emperor on their heads is, but only care about whether their lives are good. As long as these people live well, the officials do not exploit themselves, do not let themselves be unable to live, and feel that there will be no turmoil at any time. And there are not many people who are really ambitious.
If this Louis Bonaparte can really stop the war and let everyone live a stable life again, as he promised, then it is not impossible to support him. So this Louis Bonaparte's words hit the ground running on what all classes of the French are looking forward to at the moment. The financial aristocracy hopes to restore normal financial order, not to let themselves become destitute, and to give themselves a chance to make a comeback.
And what the factory owners are most afraid of is being exploited by usury, and the market is sluggish, and if the problem of usury and the market is solved, that is, production can be resumed, and they will not go out of business. The same is true for workers, if the factory is able to produce, they can also return to employment and a stable life.
With the relief, the farmers can return to a stable life, and they are happy to support it. So in fact, the biggest problem in France at the moment is the economic problem, as long as the economic crisis is solved, then everything is well solved. There is no need to worry about any complications, and whoever can solve the economic crisis will have the unanimous support of all sectors of France to support his administration.
Louis Bonaparte knew that as long as he solved these problems, he would be sure to sit on the throne, and this was a real achievement, not a blow!
If the economic crisis can be solved, then the stability and legitimacy of Louis Bonaparte's position as emperor will be more popular and more stable and orthodox than the emperor who simply relied on "raping public opinion" in the original history.
