Chapter 80： Change

After the victory of the bourgeois revolution, the situation in Europe has not improved, but has worsened.

The capitalist who has just turned over to become the master has not yet settled down, and exposed the nature of greed.

The newly established bourgeois government not only failed to fulfill its previous commitments, but also exacerbated the squeeze on the people at the bottom.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance, and the movement of workers and peasants has begun to flourish.

In Lombardy, Marshal Radkis levied a large amount of food before the evacuation. After the Kingdom of Sardinia occupied the area, the city of Milan ran out of food in order to raise food and borrowed part of the food emergency from the local people.

Borrow and repay, it is not difficult to borrow again.

Unfortunately, the Kingdom of Sardinia seems to have forgotten the issue of borrowing food from the people, which caused dissatisfaction among the local people.

That's it, anyway, only a few people have been borrowed. In order to raise funds for the war, the Kingdom of Sardinia began to collect war taxes.

After layers of bureaucracy, the amount of war tax has long exceeded the affordability of the people at the bottom.

On April 21, 1848, the Brianca farmers who could not afford the high taxes reversed, and the uprising soon spread to Salerno, Calabria and other areas.

The insurgents occupied the noble manor, seized the granary, distributed the grain to the ordinary people, burned the debit receipts and paperwork, and in some places even distributed the land.

The peasant uprising's approach frightened capitalists and nobles. The Lombard government dispatched troops for the first time to carry out an armed suppression. This spontaneous uprising of the peasant class was put out in less than a week.

The peasant uprising was just the beginning. After the occupation of Milan by the Kingdom of Sardinia, prices began to soar. Take bread as an example. From March to early May, prices have increased by 74%.

The capitalists took advantage of this opportunity to make a huge difference in the country's wealth, and the people at the bottom were hungry and cold, making it difficult for them to survive, which hurt many people who support the Kingdom of Sardinia.

On April 25, under the organization of the Workers 'Cooperative, more than 5,000 workers in Milan took to the streets to petition the Interim Government appointed by the Kingdom of Sardinia, asking the government to calm prices and protect workers' rights.

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

There are not many literate workers in Milan, let alone considering political influence. Workers' representatives directly copied part of the Austrian Labor Protection Law and added some terms that they considered reasonable, and submitted the petition. .

In order to win over local capitalists and nobles, the Sardinian kingdom naturally included capitalists in the interim government. They used this loophole for the first time, arrested worker representatives on the charge of Austrian spies, and sent troops to suppress the procession.

On April 28, a strike broke out in Milan. Tens of thousands of workers took to the streets to fight for their rights. The interim government ordered the National Guard to shoot at "crowds that disrupted social order." More than 300 people were killed and arrested on the spot. More than 500 people.

White terror flooded 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 is far more than just the Kingdom of Sardinia, the southern states of Italy, and the bourgeois liberal government has also suppressed the workers 'and peasants' movement.

Strike printing factory workers were killed in the Naples National Guard; in the Roman National Guard in front of the bakery, the people who requested bread were slaughtered; in Palermo, the National Guard cut the butcher knife to their colleagues in the January Revolution ...

The perverse actions of the bourgeois government provide the strongest support for the restoration of feudal forces.

No matter how they brag, how capitalistism is more advanced than feudalism, but the people at the bottom find that capitalist regimes are more abominable than feudal aristocracy.

The monarchy and aristocracy also seized this opportunity and launched a counterattack. The most representative of these was the Austrian counter-revolutionary group led by Franz, which had suppressed most of the Austrian revolution.

In the Italian region, Roman Pius IX feared that Italy's reunification would lose its throne, and that the war with Austria would lose Catholic support.

Thanks to 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 parliamentarians to swear allegiance to the Constitution, which was opposed by bourgeois parliamentarians.

That night, Ferdinand II moved into the city and raised a butcher knife to the bourgeois parliament.

The Kingdom of Prussia, the Junker aristocrat who was unwilling to fail, was plotting to fight back, and King Frederick-William III was still in vain with the bourgeois government.

France

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

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

French right-wing forces came to power, causing dissatisfaction among the working class.

On April 26, French workers launched unsuccessful armed uprisings in cities such as Lyon and Limoges. Worker leader Bronchi issued a statement condemning the government for betraying the revolution and announcing the revolution to the end.

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

During the same period, the royalists did not sit idle and calmly stretched their hands into the army.

If it were not for the French royalists to divide into three and restrain each other, there would be nothing for the bourgeoisie.

...

Vienna

Looking at the intelligence gathered in his hands, Franz was relieved that history had not changed much, and his butterfly effect had not completely changed the world.

An uprising broke out in Lombardy, which means that the local population base of the Sardinian kingdom has been pulled to the same level as Austria, and there is no need to worry about falling into the people's war.

Venice

"Marshal, the enemy is out!" Vic will say to Marshal Radkis somehow

"Well, now that the enemy is here, there is no need to hide it. Order the 6th Division to teach the Tuscan army that came up first, and order the 9th Division to destroy the Papal Army that crossed the river!" Radki Marshal coldly ordered

The introduction of the Sardinian army into Venice was already very difficult, and Radkis did not expect to defeat the enemy by scheming.

"Hello Marshal, I heard King Charlie Albert is coming to the front line. If he intervenes, our opportunity is here!" Edman suggested.

"It's not necessary. We can just go straight and fight the enemy in Mantua. They have no choice.

In the war in Venice, the shipping cost of the Kingdom of Sardinia is twice as high as ours. You can calculate how many supplies they need to transport each day to ensure the supply of the front line. Marshal Radkis said calmly
