Chapter 55: The Roman Revolt Breaks Out

The crisis of faith is both a problem and an opportunity. At this time, the Holy See was preoccupied with its own affairs, creating favorable conditions for the government to intervene in the internal affairs of the Church.

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

Otherwise, you will be found to have violated the canons, and there are too many to say, and seven or eight out of ten clergymen have been found to have violated the canons, and there is no problem at all.

Don't be complacent about the remaining two or three, they didn't violate the canons, they were only temporary, or they weren't found out. As long as the government wants to, sooner or later the problem can be identified.

Franz was not alone, and the crisis of faith had diminished the status of the Church in the eyes of the people, and governments of the world had invariably curtailed the privileges of the Church.

With the end of this turmoil, the struggle between imperial power and theocracy that lasted for thousands of years on the European continent also came to an end. This time the Imperial Power won a complete victory, and the Church lost the opportunity to turn the tables.

This is all in the future, Napoleon III has not yet had time to enjoy the fruits of victory, and the chaotic ideas continue to refresh the three views of the people in France.

People who oppose the church and those who support the church fight in the streets of Paris, and some people use guns. In the end, it was Napoleon III who ordered the garrison to save the field and quelled the battle

The latent revolutionaries thought that the time had come for the revolution, so they jumped out one after another to do things, and for a time the demons in Paris danced wildly.

Paris is in chaos, and Italy is even more chaotic. The chaotic situation gave the revolutionaries an opportunity.

Mazzini, the founder of the Italian Al-Shabaab, and Garibaldi, the leader of the Italian National Salvation Army, have secretly returned home to prepare an armed uprising to overthrow the French rule.

Before the uprising began, there was a split within the rebel army. The thought leader Mazzini and the military leader Garibaldi clashed over ideas.

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

Now is the best opportunity for us to unite the forces of the Church in an uprising that will overthrow the French in one fell swoop. ”

The strength of the Italian Revolutionary Party was very limited, and it was divided into more than a dozen organizations, large and small, and everyone was only temporarily united under the mediation of the British, but in fact it was still doing its own thing.

In order to drive out the French as soon as possible, Garibaldi advocated uniting the Church and using the power of the Holy See to overthrow the rule of the French.

Mazzini said righteously: "No, the union with the decaying Holy See is not a revolution at all, it is nothing more than a change of ruler for Italy."

The aim of our revolution was to drive out the French, overthrow feudal rule, and establish a united, free Italy. ”

The program of the Al-Shabaab in Italy, which included feudal rule and the Holy See, was on opposite sides from the very beginning.

This idea has been widely disseminated in Italy and has won the approval of the majority of revolutionaries.

The original goal was to drive out the Austrians, now replaced by the French, and in addition to practical needs, there was also the result of a compromise between the parties.

In order to reduce the difficulty, the revolutionaries decided to choose France, the number one enemy, as their enemy, and then consider the Austrian question after the French had been driven out.

Ideological differences split the revolutionary party. It's not that Garibaldi and Mazzini don't care about the big picture, it's that their personal compromises are useless.

Both views had a group of supporters within the revolutionary party. Everyone knows that the hardest thing in the world is to pour one's own thoughts into other people's heads.

After the suppression of the French, the main force of the revolutionary party is now composed of hot-blooded young people and idealists, and these people have a very firm revolutionary stance. The point of view is confirmed, and the nine cows can't pull it back.

Before the uprising could break out, the revolutionary party split first. No, they were never unified, and there were even a dozen revolutionary leaders, but Garibaldi and Mazzini had the most influence.

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

It is impossible to talk about the uprising or the launch, and John Bull's money is not easy to take. The revolutionaries did not produce, and without the financial support of the British financiers, they would have starved to death sooner or later.

In fact, in this era, many revolutionary parties in Europe were selling dog meat under the guise of sheep's heads. has a lofty slogan in his mouth, but he is doing the work of male thieves and female prostitutes behind his back.

No way, everyone has to eat. Revolutionaries are no exception, either with a golden thigh or on their own.

It is not so easy to "support oneself", the revolutionaries are not one or two, and they have the stinky problem of having a good eye and a low hand, and it is not so simple to feed this large group of people.

It is better to count on the national donation, than to get the capitalists to donate. The Revolutionary Party was basically a wanted criminal, and it was not possible to show itself in public at all.

Ordinary people don't have much money in their pockets, and even if they are willing to donate generously, it is a drop in the bucket, and they can only rely on quantity. This increases the risk of exposure, and the more people who know, the more confidentiality exists.

In the end, we can only count on the capitalists to pay money, after all, their strength is strong, and they only need to contact a limited number of capitalists to be able to raise a sum of funds, and the risk of exposure is greatly reduced.

However, it is not easy for the capitalists to get their money, and they risk their lives to support the revolution, and that will also be rewarded.

It is impossible to wait for the revolution to be rewarded when it succeeds. Few capitalists would be so stupid, and most would not be optimistic about the revolutionary party.

Even if the revolution succeeds, it does not mean that they will be able to take power. There are few capitalists who only have investment and no return on the transaction.

In order to obtain funds, it is not surprising that these financial principals have done a shady deed. In many cases, the revolutionary party is equivalent to a white glove, specializing in doing the dirty work for the capitalists.

Of course, a large part of them are also responsible for others. Cases that the police could not find out were pushed on the revolutionary party, and that was not uncommon.

Naturally, there are many well-behaved revolutionaries, but these people are usually relatively poor and need to go out to work on their own to earn money.

Most of the revolutionary organizations could not even raise the funds to launch an uprising, and they had no choice but to contact foreign powers in order to obtain financial assistance.

Even if they knew that they were seeking skin with the tiger, the reality forced them to compromise.

The Italian Revolutionary Party chose to compromise in the face of reality, and no one had the confidence to win in the face of the French without supporters.

There is also Franz's pot, which was too harsh when he attacked the Kingdom of Sardinia, which hit the self-confidence of the Italians and made them have a strong sense of fear of the foreign powers.

Later, when Garibaldi led the popular uprising in Naples, he was severely beaten by the French, which made them understand what the "power gap" was.

This Italian uprising was the result of the British coaxing and deception. The government in London assured the revolutionaries that if the uprising was successful, they would organize the countries of Europe to intervene.

If it weren't for the endorsement of the British, the revolutionaries would not have dared to give it a go. After all, they had escaped the French not long ago, and had gone into exile from Italy to Britain.

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

"Dear Monsieur Mazzini, the most important thing now is to get rid of the French and let Italy become an independent state, and all other issues can be postponed.

The question of the church, the revolution has succeeded, and what we have is time to deal with it; If the revolution fails, Napoleon III will take care of it for us.

At this point, the uprising is already on the verge of being launched. In order to win, we have to compromise. ”

There is nothing wrong with this statement, Napoleon III is suppressing the Church, and if there is a ready-made excuse to send it, it will certainly not be missed.

Mazzini reluctantly accepted this statement, and it would not work if he did not accept it, the British spent a lot of money to send them back secretly, and how could they explain it without tossing a little movement.

However, it is not easy to convince his subordinates. At least the reasons for the present are not enough, and it is not generally difficult for idealists to compromise.

……

Despite the stumbling upside, the Italians staged an armed uprising just before Christmas 1870, and with the covert help of the Church, the rebels captured Rome in one fell swoop.

The Italian region was full of emotion, and under the instigation of the revolutionaries, uprisings arose one after another, as if a new wave of revolution had broken out again.

The sudden Roman uprising was like a hot slap in the face of Napoleon III, casting a shadow over the nascent French Empire.

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

Hang all the leaders of the revolutionary party to me, yes, hang me, this time without mercy, they will all be killed without mercy. ”

Obviously, Napoleon III by this time was already gassed. There have been so many bad things lately that they have exceeded his endurance limit.

War Secretary Patrice McMahon hurriedly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." We are ready for the counterinsurgency forces to be deployed today. ”

His Majesty the Emperor is angry, so he must be as efficient as possible. Patrice McMahon still knows the gravity of the consequences, and in any case, this gesture must be made.

On the same day, the troops were to be mobilized to suppress the rebellion, and the time was indeed a little tight. But it doesn't matter, as long as your own troops move, then you can give the emperor an explanation.

This is the embodiment of political art, and it must be done beautifully. The strength of the revolutionary party was not yet taken to heart by Patrice McMahon, who believed that the rebellion could be suppressed at any time as long as the large forces arrived.

The only difficulty lies in how to wipe out the enemy without leaving hidden dangers for the future.
