After the victory of the bourgeois revolution, the situation in Europe did not improve, but worsened.

The capitalist who has just turned over to become the master has exposed the essence of greed before he has settled down.

The newly established bourgeois government not only failed to fulfill its previous promises, but instead intensified the exploitation of the lower class people.

Wherever there is oppression, there is resistance, and the workers' and peasants' movement began to flourish.

In Lombardy, Marshal Radkis collected a large amount of food before evacuation. After the Kingdom of Sardinia occupied the area, Milan was short of food in order to raise food, and borrowed some of the food from the local people for emergency response.

It’s not difficult to borrow or repay.

Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Sardinia seemed to have forgotten to borrow food from the people, which aroused dissatisfaction among the local people.

That's fine, anyway, only a few people were lent to food. Next, in order to raise war funds, the Kingdom of Sardinia began to impose war taxes.

After the bureaucrats increased their efforts, the amount of war tax has long exceeded the ability of the lower class people.

On April 21, 1848, the farmers of Brianca who were unable to bear the high taxes rebelled, and the uprising soon spread to Saleno, Calabria and other areas.

The rebel army occupied the noble manors, seized the granary, distributed the grain to ordinary people, burned the loan notes and documents, and even distributed the land in some places.

The practices of the peasant uprising army frightened the capitalists and nobles. The Lombardy government immediately sent troops to suppress the country by force, and this uprising organized by the peasant class was extinguished in less than a week.

The peasant uprising was just the beginning. After the Kingdom of Sardinia occupied the city of Milan, prices began to soar. Taking bread as an example, from March to early May, prices soared by 74%.

Capitalists took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune in the country, and the people at the bottom were hungry and cold, and it was difficult to sustain, which hurt many people who supported the Kingdom of Sardinia.

On April 25, under the organization of the Workers' Mutual Aid Society, more than 5,000 workers in Milan took to the streets to petition the provisional government appointed by the Kingdom of Sardinia, demanding that the government calm prices and protect workers' rights and interests.

There is no perfect worker protection law in this era, the best one is the Labor Protection Law issued by the Vienna government and its subsidiary bills.

There were not many workers in Milan who were literate, let alone considering political influence. The workers' representatives directly copied a part of Austria's Labor Protection Law and added some clauses they thought were reasonable, so they submitted the petition.

In order to win over local capitalists, nobles and temporary governments, the Sardinian Kingdom naturally had capitalists. They took advantage of this loophole at the first time, arrested workers' representatives on the charge of Austrian spies, and sent troops to suppress the march against the army.

On April 28, a strike broke out in Milan City, and tens of thousands of workers took to the streets to fight for their rights. The Provisional Government ordered the National Self-Defense Forces to shoot at "crowds that disrupt social order", killing more than 300 people on the spot and arresting more than 500 people.

White terror filled the city of Milan, and under the suppression of the bourgeois liberal government, the Milan workers' movement fell into a low tide.

...

The suppression of the workers' and peasants' movement was not only the Kingdom of Sardinia, but also the bourgeois liberal governments.

In Naples National Self-Defense Forces shot and killed workers in striker printing factory; in the Roman National Self-Defense Forces massacred people who demanded bread in front of the bakery; in Palemo, the National Self-Defense Forces cut the butcher knife on their colleagues during the January Revolution...

The bourgeois government's rebellious actions provided the most powerful support for the restoration of feudal forces.

No matter how they boast, capitalism progressed compared to feudalism, but the lower class found that capitalist regimes were more abominable than feudal aristocrats.

The monarchy and aristocratic group also seized this opportunity and took the opportunity to launch a counterattack. The most representative of them was the Austrian counter-revolutionary group headed by Franz, which had suppressed most of the revolutions in Austria.

In Italy, Pius IX of Rome was worried that Italian unification would lose its throne, and that war with Austria would lose the support of Catholics.

With the efforts of the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on April 29, 1848, Pius IX issued the Declaration, which opened the horn of counterattack.

On May 15, King Ferdinand II of Naples asked the members to swear allegiance to the Constitution, but was opposed by the bourgeois MPs.

That night, Ferdinand II mobilized his troops into the city and raised his butcher knife at the bourgeois parliament.

The Prussian Kingdom, the Junker nobles who were unwilling to fail, were planning to fight back, and King Frederick William III was still ignoring the snake's tail with the bourgeois government.

France

As the source of the European Revolution, it is naturally the most lively place.

Constitutional elections were held in France on April 23, and the bourgeois republicans achieved an overwhelming victory, and the working class was excluded from the core of rights.

The French right-wing forces came to power, which aroused dissatisfaction among the working class.

On April 26, French workers launched an armed uprising in cities such as Lyon and Limoges. Workers' leader Bronchi issued a statement condemning the government's betrayal of the revolution and announcing that the revolution would be carried out to the end.

Class contradictions have risen to become the main contradiction in France, and the working class and the bourgeoisie part ways.

During the same period, the royalists were not idle either and quietly reached into the army.

If the French royalists had not divided into three parts and restrained each other, there would be no bourgeoisie anymore.

...

Vienna

Looking at the information gathered in his hands, Franz breathed a sigh of relief. History has not changed much, and his butterfly effect has not completely changed the world.

An uprising broke out in Lombardy, which meant that the local mass base of the Kingdom of Sardinia was pulled to the same level as Austria, so there was no need to worry about falling into a people's war.

Venice

"Marson, the enemy is out!" Vic said in Marshal Radkis's ear.

"Well, since the enemy has arrived, there is no need to hide it. Order the Sixth Division to teach the emerging Tuscan army first, and order the Ninth Division to destroy the Pope's army that crosses the river!" Marshal Radkis ordered coldly.

It was already very difficult to introduce the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia into Venice, and Radkis did not expect to defeat the enemy by making plans.

"Marson Marshal, I heard that King Charlie Albert is going to the front line in person. If he intervenes in command, our opportunity will come!" Edman suggested

"No need, we can just set up a formation and fight the enemy in the Mantua area. They have no choice.

When wars in Venice, the transportation cost of the Kingdom of Sardinia is twice as high as ours. You can calculate how much supplies they have to transport every day to ensure the supply on the front line." Marshal Radkis said calmly.
