Chapter 55: The Roman Revolt breaks out

The crisis of faith is a problem and an opportunity. At this time, the Holy See was too busy to take care of itself, creating favorable conditions for the government to intervene in the internal affairs of the church.

The government has the right to punish clergy, so from now on, the church can only pretend to be grandchildren.

Otherwise, you will investigate your violation of the canon and you are so many that you dare not say that it is found that seven or eight of the ten clergymen have violated the canon and that there is no problem at all.

Don’t be proud of the remaining two or three. It has not violated the canon rules, so that it is only temporary or not found out. As long as the government is willing, problems can be found sooner or later.

Franz is far more than the only one who takes the blame. The crisis of faith has greatly reduced the church's status in the minds of the people, and governments of various countries have all cut their church privileges.

With the end of this storm, the dispute over imperial power and theocracy that had lasted for thousands of years on the European continent also came to an end. This time, the imperial power achieved a complete victory and the church lost the opportunity to turn the tables.

This is all the future. Napoleon III has no time to enjoy the fruits of victory. His messy thoughts continue to refresh the people's views in France.

People who opposed the church and those who supported the church fought on the streets of Paris, and some people fired guns. In the end, Napoleon III ordered the troops to rescue the ground, calming the war.

The lurking revolutionaries thought that the revolution was coming, so they all jumped out to cause trouble, and for a while, the demons in Paris danced.

Paris was in chaos, and the Italian region was even more chaotic. The chaotic situation gave the revolutionaries the opportunity.

Mazini, the founder of the Italian Al Shabaab Party, and Garibaldi, the leader of the Italian National Independence and National Salvation Army, have returned to China secretly and are preparing to launch an armed uprising and overthrow the French rule.

Before the uprising began, there was a division within the rebel army. Thought leader Mazinni and military leader Garibaldi had an ideological conflict.

Garibaldi said passionately: "Napoleon III's actions have broken with the Holy See, and the Holy See now wants to kill him.

Now is the best opportunity to unite the power of the church to launch an uprising and overthrow the French in one fell swoop.”

The Italian Revolutionary Party was very limited, and it was divided into more than ten organizations of all sizes. Everyone was temporarily united under the reconciliation of the British, but in fact they still did their own things within.

In order to drive away the French as soon as possible, Garibaldi advocated the United Church and used the strength of the Holy See to overthrow the French rule.

Mazinni said righteously: "No, if you can join forces with the corrupt Holy See, this is not a revolution at all, it is nothing more than a replacement for Italy's ruler.

The purpose of our revolution is to drive away the French, overthrow the feudal rule, and establish a unified and free Italy."

In the Italian Al Shabaab program, feudal rule also included the Holy See, and from the very beginning, both sides stood opposite each other.

This idea has been widely spread in Italy and has gained the recognition of most revolutionaries.

The initial goal was to drive away the Austrians, but now it was replaced by the French. In addition to the actual needs, there were also the result of compromise between the parties.

In order to reduce the difficulty, the revolutionaries decided to choose the number one enemy France as the enemy first, and then consider the issue of Austria after driving away the French.

The differences in ideas have caused the revolutionary party to be divided. This is not that Garibaldi and Mazinni ignore the overall situation, but that their personal compromise is useless.

These two views have a group of supporters within the revolutionary party. Everyone knows that the most difficult thing in the world is to pour their own thoughts into other people's minds.

After the suppression of the French, the main force of the revolutionary party is now all passionate young people and idealists. These people have very firm revolutionary stances. The nine-oxen cannot even pull back the viewpoint they have been confirmed.

Before the uprising could break out, the revolutionary party split first. No, they had never been unified, and even had more than a dozen revolutionary leaders, but Garibaldi and Mazinni had the greatest influence.

The former led an armed uprising and was the force of the revolutionary party; the latter was the proposer of the Italian idea of ​​unification and the ideological leader of the revolutionary party.

If there is no negotiation, the uprising will be launched. John's bull's money is not easy to get. Revolutionaries do not have to produce. If they are not supported by British funders, they will sooner or later starve to death.

In fact, in this era, many European revolutionaries sold dog meat under the guise of sheep. They held high-ranking slogans in their mouths, but they were doing thieves and prostitutes behind their backs.

There is no way, people have to eat. Revolutionaries are no exception. They either hold a golden thigh or can only support themselves.

It is not that easy to "follow yourself"; there are not only one or two revolutionaries, but also have the bad habit of being a master of being low-key. It is not that easy to support this group of people.

It is better to say that capitalists are asking for donations to be paid to the people. The revolutionary party is basically wanted criminals and cannot be seen publicly in the country.

Ordinary people don’t have much money in their pockets, but even if they are willing to donate generously, it is a drop in the bucket and can only be made up by quantity. This increases the risk of exposure, and if there are too many people who know it, there will be no confidentiality.

In the end, I can only count on capitalists to pay. After all, they are strong and only need to contact a few limited capitalists to raise funds and reduce the exposure risks.

However, capitalists are not easy to get money, and they risk their lives to support the revolution, which will be rewarded.

It is impossible to get a return after the revolution is successful. Few capitalists are so stupid that most people will not be optimistic about the revolutionary party.

Even if the revolution is successful, it does not mean that they can take power. Only investment and no return are seen, but few capitalists do it.

In order to obtain funds, it is not surprising that there is no light for these financial backbones. Many times, the revolutionary party is equal to white gloves, and specializes in doing dirty and tiring work for capitalists.

Of course, a large part of them are also taken the blame for others. Cases that the police cannot find out are pushed to the revolutionary party, which is also common.

There are naturally many revolutionaries with integrity, but these people are usually poor and need to go out to work and make money.

Most revolutionary organizations could not even raise funds for launching an uprising. Due to helplessness, these people had to contact foreign forces to obtain financial assistance.

Even though they know they are trying to get into a tiger, reality forces them to compromise.

The Italian Revolutionary Party chose to compromise in the face of reality. If the French had no supporters, no one would have the confidence to win.

This is also the cause of Franz. He was too ruthless when he attacked the Kingdom of Sardinia, which hit the Italians' self-confidence and made them feel deeply afraid of the great powers.

Later, when Garibaldi led the Naples uprising, he was beaten by the French again, which made them understand what the "strength gap" was.

This Italian uprising was the result of the British coaxing and deceiving. The London government assured the revolutionaries that as long as the uprising was successful, they would organize European countries to intervene together.

If it weren't for the British's endorsement, the revolutionaries wouldn't have dared to give it a try. After all, they had escaped from the French's pursuit and went into exile from Italy to Britain.

Garibaldi did not believe in the promises of the British, and if he had a choice, he would not be willing to launch an uprising at this time. In order to increase the success rate, he chose to drag the church into the water.

"Dear Mr. Mazinni, the most important thing now is to drive away the French and let Italy establish its own country. Other issues can be postponed.

If the revolution succeeds, we have time to deal with it; if the revolution fails, Napoleon III will deal with it for us.

At this point, the uprising has been on the string and has to be fired. In order to win, we must compromise."

There is nothing wrong with this statement. Napoleon III is suppressing the church. If there is a ready-made excuse to send it, you will definitely not miss it.

Mazinni reluctantly accepted this statement, and it would be impossible not to accept it. The British sent them secretly back at a high price. Without making any trouble, how could they explain it?

However, it is not easy to convince your subordinates. At least the reason is not enough now. It is not ordinary difficult to compromise with idealists.

...

Under the bumps and bruises, the Italians launched an armed uprising before Christmas in 1870. With the secret help of the church, the rebels occupied Rome in one fell swoop.

The Italian region was filled with emotions. Under the instigation of the revolutionaries, uprisings emerged one after another in various places, as if a new wave of revolution had erupted again.

The sudden Roman uprising was like a scorching slap on the face of Napoleon III, casting a shadow on the new French Empire.

At the Palace of Versailles, Napoleon III, who was furious, immediately roared: "The Army Department immediately sent troops to suppress it, and at all costs, to put out this rebellion as soon as possible.

I will hang all the leaders of the revolutionary party. That’s right, I will hang them. I will kill them without mercy this time.”

Obviously, Napoleon III was already furious at this time. There were too many troubles recently, which exceeded his tolerance limit.

Army Secretary Patrice McMahon quickly replied: "Yes, your Majesty. We are ready, and today the counter-insurgency forces will be launched."

When His Majesty the Emperor is angry, he must show the greatest efficiency. Patrice McMahon still knows the severity of the consequences, and no matter what, this posture must be done.

The troops were about to set off on that day to suppress the rebellion, which was a little tight in terms of time. But it didn't matter. As long as your own troops moved, you can give the emperor an explanation.

This is a manifestation of political art and must be done well. The strength of the revolutionary party is not taken seriously by Patrice McMahon. In his opinion, as long as the large army arrives, the rebellion can be wiped out at any time.

The only difficulty lies in how to capture all the enemies in one place and not leave hidden dangers in the future.
