"We're free!"

"Long live the Republic!"

"Long live the revolution!"

"Down with the tyrant!"

Cheers rang out in the Place de la Bastille, where workers, students, and even women cheered as if they were frenzied, waving their flags and throwing their hats into the sky. People who didn't know each other hugged each other like lifelong friends, and some young men and women even kissed each other affectionately.

At Place de la Bastille, the revolution has turned into the most revelry of the worst.

Finally, the reached its climax.

"Woo!" In a burst of out-of-tune cheers, several men lifted the throne and threw it at the pyre beneath the Martyrs' Monument, around which the revelers gathered and shouted as if they had watched the burning of witches in the Middle Ages.

King Louis Philippe abdicated and fled Paris in exile in England. Upon hearing this, the besieging crowd stormed the Tuileries without resistance, and after a great deal of celebration, they carried the throne out of it, and then sent it to the Place de la Bastille, where it was to be burned under the Monument to the Martyrs, as the last celebration of the Revolution, and as a symbol of the abolition of the monarchy, as they understood it.

The torches were thrown into the pyre, and the flames quickly burst into flames before sweeping up the throne, eliciting deafening cheers.

"Long live the Republic!"

The flames turned everyone's faces red, and it sparked a medieval frenzy in their hearts, as if a demon had really been destroyed.

…………

The Shire standing on the edge of the square. Calmly watched this scene without saying a word.

And his hand was tightly held by the person next to him, and slowly reached a climax with this scene. The force exerted on his arm also increased, making him feel pain.

"You're pushing too hard, Charlotte." He couldn't help but remind him softly.

"Did you bring me here to show me this? Watch them show off their victories and watch these mobs go berserk? Charlotte asked Charles through gritted teeth, her eyes full of anger, "Or is there some other purpose?" ”

She's angry now. Very angry.

If she was very unhappy that she could not lead the crowd into the palace to dismantle Louis-Philippe, the scene before her had obviously aroused her great anger.

Charles turned his gaze back to the center of the square.

"Shouldn't we see how powerful they are?"

"Force?" Charlotte smiled sarcastically, then swept the front in disgust. "Wait and see, we'll be able to wash them clean soon."

Charles didn't answer, he didn't want to argue with Charlotte about the subject anymore.

Charlotte, however, continued.

"Charles. I said it. You don't always remember what you are. Don't forget, you are one of us, you are not a revolutionary party! Do you think you can still play Jacobin? What a joke! The father of the vicious dog tried, and was guillotined! She raised her hand and pointed to the cheering crowd around the fire with contempt and hatred, "Don't forget, that year!" It was in the midst of such cheers! His Majesty our King was guillotined. And our ancestors! Their cheers mean that we will bleed and nothing else. We either rule them. Kill them or be killed by them, there is no other way out. Since you were born into a family like ours and born into a class like ours, you should have such an awareness, shouldn't you? Let go of your ridiculous thoughts! ”

"Of course there's another way!" Charles couldn't help but shout at her.

"Nope!" Not to be outdone, Charlotte glared back at him.

The two men glared at each other again, as before.

After glaring at each other for a moment, Charles withdrew his gaze and regained his original demeanor.

"Well, after all, we still can't tell the difference between our wins and losses." He nodded slightly, then withdrew his hand, "Good luck with the rest of the day." ”

"Good luck too." Charlotte nodded equally expressionlessly.

Then she turned around, looked again at the revelers in the square, and clenched her fists again.

"You can't escape......"

………………

At this time, in the Paris City Hall, the invisible revolution continued.

As the main force of the uprising, the representatives of the Parisian working class were of course invited to join the ranks of the people's representatives. Coming from a poor background, it was the first time in their lives that they were invited to such a grand event, and of course they couldn't help but feel a little dizzy, and for the first time they had the feeling that "they are the masters of the country" - although this time it was just an illusion.

They were greeted by very kind representatives of the legal and economic circles, who had a good conversation with each other, and one side was even somewhat flattered. Together, they formed a conference, and under the leadership of Mr. Jacques-de Leor, who was elected leader of the Provisional Government, the delegates quickly elected their candidates, formed a new Provisional Government, and took over the power vacuum that had been created since Louis Philippe stepped in.

"The republic will give its citizens universal suffrage!"

"The republic will abolish the salt tax and other exorbitant taxes!"

"The Republic will hold nationwide parliamentary elections and the Constituent Assembly will be established on May 4!"

Under the strong demand of the delegates, one policy after another was transmitted from the conference room to the outside world, triggering bursts of cheers from the people gathered around the outside world.

The nascent French Republic seems to have received great anticipation and blessings from the outset.

However, when the representatives of the proletariat hesitated to propose changing the flag of the republic to the red flag, which was widely used in the revolution, the other delegates were strongly opposed, and they had to withdraw their proposal and acquiesce to the tricolor as the flag of the republic.

This symbolic defeat, which was more or less willingly accepted by the representatives of the proletariat, was soon supplemented by a substantial defeat.

The next cabinet members of the government are being chosen. Due to the "lack of experience in management and in governance", the representatives of the proletariat were forced to give up every cabinet post.

At the end, on the side of the workers and the poor in Paris. What exactly did you get?

In addition to the countless empty promises and temporary measures that seemed very rosy, only two of them – Louis-Blanc and Albert – were absorbed into the new government, not as cabinet members, but as chairmen and vice-chairmen of the newly formed "Provisional Labour Council".

[Jean Joseph Charles, French utopian socialist, historian. He was sympathetic to the treatment of the workers at that time and had socialist ideas, but he was limited to the theoretical level, and he advocated class reconciliation and reformism. The social reform program was formulated to gradually replace the private workshops through the "social workshops" as a new type of social production organization, and finally to establish an ideal society of universal economic and social equality. After the February Revolution in France in 1848. He was in charge of the practice of presiding over the Provisional Labour Council (also known as the Luxembourg Council because its office was located in the Luxembourg Palace), but it failed. 】

All important positions in the cabinet were occupied by the bourgeoisie. The historian Lamartine served as foreign minister, and the wealthy lawyer Ridley Lorraine served as interior minister, and some of them were even collaborators of the original July Dynasty.

The fruits of the revolution have been usurped, but the side that has been usurped is still at a loss. I thought I was still one of the winners.

In the hearts of all within the French proletariat at this time. The shadow of 1789 still lingers in their minds, and they are full of the idea that Louis XVI, who was beheaded that year, and Louis-Philippe, who was driven away at this time, are the same thing, and the revolution of 1789 and the revolution of 1848 are the same thing. As everyone knows, the two dynasties have long been very different - in this country, the bourgeoisie has already been sent to the altar through the storms of those two decades, but they still feel that anyone who is not a nobleman will stand together......

In a few months, they will understand what this childish idea will doom! They will also understand what these bourgeoisie who laugh at them mildly at this time!

At this time, they are. They are cheering and throwing the king's throne into the flames, yet they are not aware enough to understand that the nature of power is not attached to lifeless seats. but in the institutions of state power. Before they know it, they lose all the way in the real power arena, but they still think they have won.

In this way, the Second French Republic was founded on the ashes of the July Dynasty.

When Charles heard the news, he had already said goodbye to Charlotte and returned to his home.

His heart was full of emotion now.

The revolution of 1848 in France was over, but not in the way it is usually believed, nor at the time it is believed.

On February 22, 1848 the revolution broke out, and on February 25, 1848 the revolution died.

The great wave that swept Europe that year was only three days left for France, and from the day of the establishment of a Provisional Government of the French Republic, which had secretly and completely rejected the influence of the proletariat, the revolution was dead, and all that remained of it was the residual warmth of the corpse that had not yet disappeared, and the natural spasms of conditioned reflexes.

However......

It was these people, the same men whom he had seen, who marched with great courage against the king's guns, who were not afraid of sacrifice, who went forward bravely, who had brought down a government, who had driven out a monarch, who had for the first time truly tasted the power of a class, and who, though so staggeringly costly, was enough to terrify any subsequent French ruler, and probably all of Europe, to all of them!

After this, Louis Bonaparte could only play the role of emperor of the French, but could no longer claim to be responsible to God like the King of Bourbon.

It has been betrayed, but it is still great.

Is it revolutionary?

It is revolution. (To be continued......)

PS: Ha, I've finally finished writing the July Dynasty, and I'm finally ready to start the journey of the next volume......

The author's writing and talent are insufficient, and because of the relationship between the daily rush code words, it may not be possible to restore the history well enough, and please forgive me =. =

The first volume, which is considered the hidden scroll of Charles, in which he slowly abandons what little conscience he has left and becomes an aristocratic/bourgeois careerist, following his group in a successful political speculation and witnessing a revolution that has been successfully launched and usurped.

Although there are many dissatisfactions, I am also amazed that I actually wrote the pit here......

Then the next volume will depict how our Charles classmates made a fortune in the midst of national crisis, became a huge rich in the sorrow of thousands of families, and followed Louis Bonaparte step by step to usurp the legend of the yellow robe of the supreme power in France~~

Of course, with her sisters and sisters, as well as Matilda Lola Marie, their story will continue......

Xie Lu thanked everyone for their support and help in the past, without you, I would not have persevered to this day. Please continue to take care of it in the future!
