Chapter 177: Panic in Paris
November 9, 1849.
The temperature in Paris has been getting colder and colder since November, the little bourgeois living in Paris have used the fireplace, the price of wood in Paris has also risen slightly with the use of the fireplace, the rise in the price of wood has attracted the Paris speculators to flock to it, many stocks related to wood have risen slightly, the rise of the stock has driven the enthusiasm of the Paris timber company, every day you can see groups of workers in the Bournee forest on the outskirts of the southern part of Paris, they cut down the trees in the forest and transport them to the lumber yard for peeling, Cut and then sent to Paris for sale.
On this day, Sablin, who runs a small shop in Paris on his own, opened early with his neck curled up on a street in Saint-La Chall, where he had fought with the army against the damned "thugs" last June.
Although he had been dragged out of his home in a brutal manner by some damned fellows (referring to regular army officers), it was the first battle of his life, and the thick artillery and the unsympathetic expressions of the regular army officers stuck with him to this day.
Looking at the barricades shattered by artillery and the limbs hanging from the broken barricades, Sablin's romance for war was shattered by cruelty, and it was then that he realized that the officers of the National Guard who had been transferred from North Africa had drunkenly mocked them for not understanding that war was too real to be true.
After that incident, Sablin no longer thought about war and revolution, he just wanted to run his shop honestly.
In the events of June of this year, Sablin decisively rallied a section of the population to oppose the proposal of the commander of his regiment to march on the march.
Sablin's choice was undoubtedly correct, and the three legions that had marched were forcibly disbanded, and the commander of the legion who had agreed to the march was also dismissed by them.
[The National Guard is different from the regular French army, and the appointment and dismissal of regimental commanders and battalion commanders can be nominated by soldiers, and they can also be appointed and dismissed from above. During the February Revolution, Alexandre Dumas was rejected by the soldiers because he wanted to lead troops to defend the Kingdom of Orleans, and after the February Revolution, he was deposed by the soldiers who united together. 】
Sablin, who has seen the cruelty of "hell", has the only thing in common is the peace of Paris.
Since Sablin opened the door too early, the people affected by the cold snap had not yet gotten up from their beds, and Sablin's business was a little sluggish.
After a while, a man who looked like a postman entered Sablin's shop: "Mr. Sablin, thank you for your support of the newspaper!" ”
The postman took out some newspapers and placed them in front of Sablin, who then took off his hat and thanked him and left.
Looking at the newspaper on the counter, Sablin knew he finally had something to pass the time.
Sablin reached out and pulled out the newspaper above, which featured a striking hand-drawn drawing of a peasant with a dung fork and a broadsword, and beside him a gentleman in a tight suit embroidered with a pattern similar to that of Paris.
Regardless of the content of the text, the picture first attracted Sablin's idea, and Sablin glanced at the name of the newspaper in the upper right corner of the news, "The Observer".
Very good! The content of the news is quite credible!
This newspaper, which burst into prominence at the beginning of '49, won over the habits of a section of the Parisian masses with its "pertinent" political commentary, well-intentioned criticism of the government, and certain gossip, which of course considered the newspaper to be the official "cleaners".
No one knew that Le Observator was a subsidiary of Le Bonaparte through cross-shareholding, and that the black hand behind Le Bonaparte was Jérôme. Bonaparte, and those so-called pertinent language has been inside the same Jérôme. Bonaparte had the news passed on in order to build an image for the Observer and other newspapers.
Honestly agreeing with the Observer, Sablin continued to look down.
Under the picture is a French caption in black printing, which reads "Beware of the infiltration of foreign anti-French forces into Paris".
"What foreign forces?" Sablin instantly thought of the Kingdom of Britain in the Strait of Ramanche.
The blood feud between Britain and France lasted for more than 600 years, and the first thing that all French people thought of was the Kingdom of Britain, and only they had the ability to subvert France.
Sablin then looked down, and the content was basically that some politicians with evil intentions secretly infiltrated France after receiving gold from a certain country in a vain attempt to cause turmoil in Paris, and then entangled a group of monarchies to attack France.
Although there is not a single word naming Britons, Sablin can be sure that this is a conspiracy of Britons, and that only shameless Britons can get along with such intrigues.
After reading the content, Sablin scolded: "Fuck, damn Anglo-Saxon gangs! ”
Sablin, who had cursed for a moment, turned the finger back to the government and the parliament, and Sablin did not have a good word for the parliament.
For Jérôme. President Bonaparte, in his heart there is only gratitude.
In his heart, only the president was the one who really stabilized Paris, and he was as great as his uncle.
If Jérôme. Bonaparte could hear Sablin's inner praise, and he must have felt that his little favor still had some effect.
Sablin, who had criticized the government and the parliament, was in a state of panic, fearing that if the newspapers were true, the agents would be in constant danger.
"Maybe it's a deviation in the report?" Sablin comforted himself, and then said to himself, "Look at the other newspapers!" ”
With that, Sablin pulled out another newspaper, which was a newspaper in which Hawass had indirect control.
The content of the newspaper was "Critical! There is a mutiny in Provence, and there is a good chance that the rebels will attack Paris"
"Provence is rebelling again?" Sablin exclaimed, he remembered that there had been rumors of a mutiny in Provence half a year earlier, and that it was fortunate that Marshal Bijo had intervened in time, otherwise there was a good chance of a catastrophe.
[In June 1849, in order to correspond to the law of Leud. Roland's call, the workers of Lyon instigated an uprising strike. The commander of the Italian Front, Marshal Bijo, massacred them and then put the stigma of royalists on their heads. All that Paris knew at the time was information about the rebellion of the royal party of Paris. 】
Now that they are about to rebel again, is France really going to be overthrown?
Sablin complained even more about the inaction of the Legislative Assembly.
The third newspaper was a different from the first two, and was about a small rebellion in a province in the central region of France......
Three successive newspapers reported bad news about France, which made Sablin deeply suspicious of the competence of the Legislative Assembly.
When he picked up the fourth newspaper and looked at it, there was no news of the rebellion in the fourth newspaper, only various articles in praise of the National Assembly.
This gave Sablin a sense of unreality, and he suspected that this was an official newspaper, and that only an official newspaper could have such a sensual glorification.
Sablin glanced at the name of the newspaper office, which, as he had guessed, was indeed an official newspaper.
Sablin picked up an official mouthpiece again and read it, and sure enough, like the newspaper just now, there was not a single bad news in France, and most of the articles were praised.
This could not help but make him more convinced that the situation described by the newspapers he had just seen was probably the reality.
"Damn the council! What the hell are they doing? Sablin grew resentful of the council.
As the highest authority in France, it has the corresponding power but is unable to assume the obligation to believe, which leads to the erosion of the situation in France as a whole, which is a manifestation of incompetence.
On this day, not only Sablin was filled with a strong resentment in the whole of Paris, and the citizens of Paris were afraid that the news would come true, and they vented all their resentment in the Legislative Assembly.
Under the clamor of some "well-intentioned people", Paris went so far as to issue a call for "dissolving the Legislative Assembly and resuming universal suffrage."
The appeal of the citizens is undoubtedly good news for the Republicans and the Mountain Party in the Legislative Assembly, and they will only be able to regain the lost seats if they are re-enacted.
As a result, the Republicans and the Mountain Party shouted the slogan of "universal suffrage" in parliament, and the members of the Order Party fell silent.
Thiers, the seat of the Party of Order, was also keenly aware that this conspiracy was most likely directed against them, but since Thiers did not hold power, and Jérôme was not in power. Bonaparte did not act directly, so that Thiers could not see who was behind it, and he could only attribute it to another attack by the Republicans and the Monthills.
It was this offensive that made the Party of Order completely determined to regain all the votes they had given to the French people, and only in this way could the Republicans and Montrae completely silence them.
However, before that, the Legislative Assembly still issued a proclamation, which said, "The recent rumors in France are false and untrue, and I hope that every French person can keep their eyes open and carefully distinguish the news!" ”
At the same time, the Elysee Palace also "shot".
Jérôme. Bonaparte summoned the Inspector General of Police to the Élysée Palace.
"Director Kalier, it's time for you to make a move!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to the veteran Bonapartist in front of him.
This was Jerome. Bonaparte gave Carlière, who was in charge of all police affairs in Paris, a humble inquiry: "Your Majesty, what should I do?" ”
"Fine, detain, and then let them write a guarantee!" Jérôme. Bonaparte said to Callière, and then added: "By the way, you can't shut down the newspapers, and you can't beat them either!" Did you hear that? ”
"Yes! Your Majesty! Kalier bowed in response.
"Go ahead!" Jérôme. Bonaparte waved his hand, and Director Cartier left.
After a while, the Director of the Investigation Division, Marcel. Yaruger appeared in Jérôme. Bonaparte's study.
"Immediately after Callier's move, you walked and said that the police were acting in order to cover up their incompetence and to beat them up...... In short, make the contradiction as big as possible! Oh, don't let Kalier find out! "Jérôme. Bonaparte vs Marcel. Yaruger said.
"Yes!"
