C1853 Illegal publications

With Benjamin's order in power, all the newspapers on the three islands received a warning. From today onwards, no one was allowed to report the Chinese Eastern series.

In this era, there was no such thing as freedom of the press. Under the pressure of the government, even the newspapers had to lower their heads. They could only endure the temptation of money from the Chinese and endure the insults from the readers.

However, Benjamin never expected the market to be so powerful. When the needs of the people had already been developed to form a strong supply and demand relationship, administrative orders would sometimes be useless.

The Thames Newspapers were scolded by the readers as they joined together. The letters that were scolded like snowflakes flew over and exploded their newspaper boxes.

There were those who stated their needs calmly, those who broke it apart to reason, those who were powerful, and of course, there were those who threatened as soon as they appeared … The most common way to intimidate a newspaper was with a subscription.

If you don't continue reporting the Eastern Chinese Family's series, I'm going to cancel my engagement...

Are you stupid? Why did you British newspapers ban the publication of articles about Russia and the shameless French? Are you a French spy?

There was a lot of market for this kind of scolding in Britain. The English and French had been competing for hundreds of years, and in addition to the Hundred Year War, the two sides had already fought a few battles at sea.

Back then, when the Americans wanted to be independent, it was this group of Frenchmen who supported them from behind, causing the British North America to become a United States.

France would be a good person? Do you know that you have to go to hell for this?!

This was the true attitude of the proud English towards the French, full of the sense of superiority of the victors, and the sense of crisis in pursuing the second place.

Disdain but wary, such a complex state relationship can create a very complex national feeling, plus the government's previous intentional guidance, so it is normal for the British to look down on the French at home.

Originally, the government had guided the public's will to suppress the France's aggressive national fortunes. Even the upcoming war with France was the war the British hoped for.

But when Xiao Letian also joined the battle with the black Frenchmen, Benjamin actually set up a public policy. This was against the common sense of the masses, so it was natural for him to be scolded harshly.

The newspapers did not dare to say that they were threatened by the Prime Minister. They could only silently shut their mouths and patiently watch the daily sales figures that gave them headaches.

But on the other hand, they did not care about the Prime Minister's face at all. They directly announced the information to the public, causing the citizens to immediately comment to the Prime Minister Benjamin.

Benjamin's biggest mistake was that he did not ban Xiao Letian from reporting in the beginning. If he had ordered his people to ban Xiao Letian when he was attacking Sha Russia, he would not have met with such a strong public sentiment.

The in-depth report had been going on for almost 50 days, and the colorful Eastern Chinese series had amassed millions of fans in the UK.

Before a habit of the people has been formed, it's fine if you forbid it, but when that habit has been formed and become a dependency, forbidding it is more cruel than weaning.

The people's will was surging, the undercurrents surging. After only three days, the underground carriage that was created from an unknown printing plant began to spread freely among the people.

This was a tabloid newspaper that did not take part in the newspaper sales network. It was freely spread among the fans. It was completely illegal underground newspaper.

In these occasional booklets, attacks on the France continued unabated.

In the pamphlet, the French were portrayed as the main sinner who had incited the British to attack the Great Qing, who had set fire to the Yuan Ming Yuan. In the pamphlet, the French were portrayed as the devils who had destroyed the treasures of Oriental art.

There were dozens of copper engravings and photos of the ruins in Yuan Ming Yuan, including artistic paintings of various kinds that were imagined. That kind of beautiful palace really made the English fans envious.

"Dammit, such a beautiful palace should have been built into a museum! Why did you burn it, Napoleon III is truly a devil! "

Not only was it the Yuan Ming Yuan series, the following booklet also detailedly described the relationship between the French and Chinese clans in their hatred for each other, from the earliest when the French Navy kidnapped Xiao Letian, to the small scale conflict at the Fa Rui's border, to the French taking advantage of the Poo War to sneak attack the Ryukyu …

Of course, the atrocities such as the Tyrant Slaughter City, the assault on the Tanggu District, and so on, had all come to an end.

This is an evidentiary chain of very ample accusation article, picture, photo, time, place, character... A record of a third party certifying material evidence.

This time, the crime of starting a war was firmly pinned on Fa Huangnapolunsanshi, he could not refute anything.

Benjamin panicked, he suddenly realised that he had lost control of the people's will, and that evil little booklet actually spread at the speed of light among the people.

The London police had discovered hundreds of clandestine dissemination of these illegal publications, all of which were traded in secret places, like opium smugglers, under the tables of taverns and cafés.

They could not capture it at all, nor could they stop it. They could only search 100 books and perhaps there would be a thousand new books flowing into the people.

The UK had already become a mess, and illegal pamphlets like this one had become a thorn in the side of the French Emperor.

Inside the Hall of Mirrors, the old French Emperor roared and cursed at the Chief of Police of Paris for his incompetence "You idiot! Why are these illegal publications circulating in my country? Why would my people read such articles! "

"How do you explain that? What do you want me to explain! "

Chief of Police didn't dare to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead. He could only allow the sweat to flow freely. It's the Republicans! they are secretly circulating these articles... "

"Those criminals who have been trying to restore the Republic have colluded with our enemies! I will do my best to suppress them. I will search through all of the underground printing plant.

The moment he mentioned those political enemies, Napoleon's blood pressure started to rise uncontrollably.

France was the birthplace of human rights thought and of the Revolution, and the citizens had chopped off the emperor's head and formed a civil government, and had had experience in the republican system.

In other words, the position of III's emperor had always been unstable, and an active volcano was accumulating energy under his butt the entire time.

He could temporarily rely on the Alliance's Capitalists and the aristocrats to stabilize his position, but those extremely poor workers and farmers would forever be the most feared forces in the French Emperor. Only God knew what those thugs who believed in the Republic would do.

Waving his hand, Napoleon ordered the Chief of Police to go handle the case, while he rubbed his temples.
