Victor. Hugo's self-deprecation silenced all the literati present.

The whole meeting gradually fell into a dead silence from the original heat.

Victor as the one who started it all. Hugo looked at the silent literati present and realized that he might be about to mess up this hard-won salon, and he hurriedly remedied: "Friends, since the matter is irreparable, why don't we face it with an optimistic attitude!" Maybe it's not that bad! ”

Anyway, Victor. Hugo suddenly thought of something, he looked at Mathilde and changed the subject: "Dear princess, where is Prince Jérôme?" ”

"Huh?" Mathilde, who came back to his senses, replied suspiciously: "Father is still living in the Rhine Hotel!" ”

"I'm not talking about the old Prince Jérôme, but also about your younger brother Jérôme. Prince Bonaparte! You don't know yet, do you? His votes in the Seine are already above me! "Victor. Hugo said to the literati present.

The literati present heard Victor. After Hugo's revelations, he looked at Mathilde, George. There was a hint of curiosity in Sang's eyes.

Mathilde, who had shifted the subject to herself, could only bite the bullet and say, "My brother is traveling in Rome!" It is estimated that it will be some time before I return to France! ”

Victor. Hugo shook his head and said, "Fortunately, His Excellency the Prince did not come back, otherwise Paris would not know what the chaos would be!" ”

"Yes! Paris ...... now" Mathilde also showed melancholy on her face, but in her heart she wished that Paris would be more chaotic.

"Then again, Princess Mathilde! Is your brother interested in running for this campaign! Judging by his votes, he is more than capable of running! "Victor. Hugo then asked.

"It's up to him to do that!" Mathilde tried to do Tai Chi and said, "If he wants to run, let him go." If he doesn't want to participate, then there's nothing we can do! ”

"The current French political scene really needs to inject some vitality, and if it is always controlled by some people, France will become a pool of stagnant water!" Victor. Hugo openly hinted that the actions of the Caffenjac and the National Assembly had chilled the once Orleanists, now the Republicans, and that he hoped to bring another force to French politics.

"Mathilde! If your brother wants to run in the election, we can help you! "George. Sang took Mathilde's hand and said intimately, "We still have some strength!" ”

"That's right! To hell with those chengguan masters! Alexandre Dumas exclaimed.

He was kicked out of the National Guard and marginalized in the National Guard during the February Revolution.

Immediately afterwards, Mérimée and Sainte-Beuve also joined the ranks of "condemnation".

Mathilde looked at these "friends" in the salon and thanked them one by one.

"I read Louis. Prince Napoleon's "Eradication of Poverty"! "Victor. Hugo digressed the topic again and said: "Frankly, the book explains what should be done in the current republic, public and free education, the distribution of industry, ......"

Victor. Hugo talked endlessly about "Eradication of Poverty", and everyone present could only listen to Victor quietly because they had not read the contents. Hugo's solo speech.

Gradually, they were attracted by the "big pie" in "Eradication of Poverty", and there was an impulse in their hearts that "maybe Bonaparte would be in power".

Victor. Hugo was like a Bonapartist who preached the contents of "The Eradication of Poverty". Hugo looked at Mathilde quietly and asked, "If Prince Jérôme is in power, will this be possible?" ”

"To tell you the truth, my brother is also my cousin's supporter!" Mathilde immediately said: "He once said to me that the republic must be generous!" The republic must implement the principle of redistribution, and even if we disdain the idea of socialism, we cannot make the poor poorer and the rich richer! Isn't this France the same as England! ”

"If Prince Jérôme is really willing to do what he thinks, of course I am willing to vote for him!" Victor. Hugo added in a brisk tone: "However, all this will have to wait until we meet!" ”

"Of course!" Mathilde responded: "When my brother returns to Paris, I will let him visit you as soon as possible!" ”

Under Mathilde's guidance, a light-hearted literary salon becomes Mathilde's "Xuan Brother" solo performance.

After the end of the salon, except for George. All the people outside of San are interested in Jérôme. Bonaparte was curious.

Mathilde took advantage of the situation to accumulate another wave of prestige for her brother.

Time went on, and in a blink of an eye, it was June 29th.

On this day, dark clouds enveloped the whole of Paris, lightning shuttled through the clouds, and a storm seemed to be about to ravage the whole of Paris.

East and Southeast districts of Paris.

After enduring for almost a week, the Parisian workers could no longer endure hunger.

The Government has given them an ultimatum that if they do not comply with the Government's arrangements to leave by 1 July, they will use coercive means.

Everyone knew what the government was talking about as a means of coercion, and they were reluctant to leave Paris, so they had no choice but to resist.

Under the self-organization of the workers, they gradually advanced to the town hall and built barricades from the workers' settlements.

With only a small number of weapons, they chose to revolt at this time because the artillery of the government army could not be used on rainy days, which further narrowed the gap between them.

However, they underestimated the determination of the reactionary government, and Kafenjak, as a military dictator, had been waiting for the workers' uprising for 20 minutes, 20 minutes after the workers declared the uprising and demanded the dissolution of the National Assembly.

Kafenjak arrived at the barracks lightly, and the six generals waited for Kafenyak's arrival.

"Generals, let's get moving! Kill all the mobs! The Republic will never forget your contributions! Kafenyak's murderous words shook the hearts of all the generals present.

More than 50,000 troops quickly entered Paris and swept through Paris with the cooperation of the National Guard.

Heavy rains followed, and the sudden rainstorms restrained the artillery of the regular army and gave the workers a chance to take arms.

Many workers' armed forces took the opportunity to take away the weapons of the National Guard.

However, all this had little effect on the overall situation, and the regular army, deprived of artillery support, still showed its ability to crush the workers of the uprising.

Barricades were swept away, and workers, women and even children were killed by the beast army that had entered Paris.

On the cloudy 30 of June, Kafenjak had gradually swept away the rebel troops on the front line of the town hall, and the rebel forces slowly retreated.

On 1 July, Kafenjac stormed the streets of the suburbs of Saint-Denis and Saint-Martin, flattening barricades with artillery.

On 2 July, the suburbs of St. Anton and Temple, the last stronghold of the workers, fell.

At this point, the 100,000 rebellious workers in Paris were slaughtered by the Kafenjak in a bloody massacre, and the rest were sent to other provinces under the pressure of the army.
