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

The capitalists who have just turned over and become masters have not yet sat firmly in the country, and the essence of greed has been exposed.

The newly established bourgeois government, instead of fulfilling its promises, intensified the oppression of the people at the bottom.

Where there was oppression, there was resistance, and the workers' and peasants' movement began to flourish.

In Lombardy, Marshal Radekis collected a large amount of food before his evacuation, and after the Kingdom of Sardinia occupied the region, the city of Milan was short of food and borrowed some food from the local population in order to raise food.

There is borrowing and repaying, and it is not difficult to borrow again.

It is a pity that the Kingdom of Sardinia seems to have forgotten to borrow grain from the people, which caused dissatisfaction among the local people.

That's it, anyway, only a few people are borrowed. Then, in order to raise funds for the war, the Kingdom of Sardinia began to collect war taxes again.

After the bureaucracy increased the weight layer by layer, the amount of war tax has long exceeded the capacity of the people at the bottom.

On April 21, 1848, the Briança peasants, unable to afford the high taxes, rebelled, and the revolt soon spread to Salerno, Calabria and other regions.

The rebels occupied aristocratic estates, seized granaries, distributed grain to the common people, burned IOUs, papers, and in some places even divided the land.

The practice of the peasant rebels frightened the capitalists and the aristocracy. The Lombard government immediately sent troops to suppress it by force, and this uprising organized by the peasant class was extinguished in less than a week.

The peasant revolt was just the beginning, and after the Sardinian kingdom captured the city of Milan, prices began to soar. In the case of bread, for example, the price skyrocketed by 74 percent from March to early May.

The capitalists took advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune in the country, and the people at the bottom were hungry and unsustainable, which hurt many of the people who supported the Kingdom of Sardinia.

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

In this era, there was no perfect law on the protection of workers, the best of which was the Labour Protection Act introduced by the Vienna government, and its subsidiary acts.

Not many of the workers in Milan were literate, let alone considering political influence, so the workers' representatives directly copied part of the Austrian Labour Protection Act and added some clauses that they thought were reasonable, and submitted the petition.

In order to win over the local capitalists and aristocrats, the Provisional Government of the Kingdom of Sardinia naturally included capitalists who took advantage of this loophole at the first time, arrested the workers' representatives on charges of Austrian spies, and sent troops to suppress the demonstrations.

On 28 April, when a strike broke out in the city of Milan, with tens of thousands of workers taking to the streets to fight for their rights, the Provisional Government ordered the National Guard to shoot at "disturbing the social order", killing more than 300 people and arresting more than 500 on the spot.

The White Terror pervaded the city of Milan, and the Milanese workers' movement was at a low ebb under the repression of the bourgeois liberal government.

……

The workers' and peasants' movement was suppressed far more than just the Kingdom of Sardinia, but also in the southern Italian states, as well as by the bourgeois liberal governments.

In Naples, the National Guard shot striking printing factory workers; In front of the bakery, the Roman National Guard slaughtered the people who demanded bread; In Palermo, the National Guard slashed butcher's knives at their colleagues in the January Revolution......

The perverse actions of the bourgeois government provided the most powerful support for the restoration of the feudal forces.

No matter how much they boast that capitalism is more advanced than feudalism, the masses at the bottom find the capitalist regime more odious than the feudal aristocracy.

The monarchical aristocracy also seized this opportunity and launched a counterattack, the most representative of which was the Austrian counter-revolutionary group headed by Franz, which had suppressed most of the revolutions in Austria.

In Italy, Rome Pius IX feared that the unification of Italy would result in the loss of his throne, and that the war with Austria would lead to the loss of the support of the Catholics.

Thanks to the efforts of the Austrian Foreign Office, on April 29, 1848, Pius IX issued a Declaration that set off the clarion call for a counterattack.

On 15 May, King Ferdinand II of Naples demanded that the parliamentarians swear allegiance to the Constitution, which was opposed by the bourgeois parliamentarians.

That night, Ferdinand II moved his troops into the city and raised his butcher's knife against the bourgeois parliament.

In the Kingdom of Prussia, the Junker aristocracy, unwilling to accept defeat, was plotting a counterattack, and King Frederick William III was still at odds with the bourgeois government.

France

As the source of the revolutions in Europe, it is naturally the liveliest place.

Constitutional elections were held in France on 23 April, and the bourgeois republicans won a landslide victory, and the working class was excluded from the core of power.

The rise to power of the French right-wing forces provoked discontent among the working class.

On April 26, when the French workers staged an unsuccessful armed uprising in the cities of Lyon and Limoges, the workers' leader Blanqui issued a statement condemning the government's betrayal of the revolution and declaring that it would be carried through to the end.

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

At the same time, the royalists were not idle, quietly extending their hands to the army.

If it weren't for the fact that the French royalists were divided into three and kept each other in check, there would have been nothing to do with the bourgeoisie now.

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.

The outbreak of an uprising in the Lombardy region meant that the local population base of the Kingdom of Sardinia was brought to the same level as that of Austria, and there was no need to worry about falling into a people's war.

Venice

"Marshal, the enemy is out!" General Victor said in the ear of Marshal Radkiss

"Well, since the enemy has come, then there is no need to hide and pinch. Order the 6th Division to teach the rising Tuscan army a lesson, and order the 9th Division to defeat the Papal State army crossing the river! Marshal Radkiss ordered coldly

The introduction of the Sardinian army into Venice was not easy, and Radkis did not expect to defeat the enemy by stratagem.

"Your Excellency, I heard that King Charles Albert is going to the front in person, and if he intervenes in command, our chance has come!" Edelman proposed

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

At war in the Venetian area, the cost of transportation in the Kingdom of Sardinia is twice as high as ours, and you can calculate how much supplies they have to deliver every day to be able to guarantee supplies to the front. Marshal Radkiss said calmly
