Chapter 485 The Roman Uprising Breaks Out
The crisis of belief is both a problem and an opportunity. At this time, the Holy See was overwhelmed and created favorable conditions for the government to intervene in the internal affairs of the church.
The government has the right to punish the clergy, so from now on the church can only pretend to be grandchildren.
Otherwise, you will be investigated for violating the canon. There are too many to say. Seven or eight of the ten clergy members have been found to have violated the canon. That's not a problem at all.
Don't be complacent about the remaining two or three, because there is no violation of the canon, it is only temporary, or it has not been found out. As long as the government wants to, sooner or later the problem can be found out.
Franz is far from alone. The crisis of faith has greatly reduced the church's status in the eyes of the public, and governments around the world have cut down on the church's privileges.
With the end of this turmoil, the millennium-long struggle for imperial power and theocratic power in the European continent also came to an end. This time, the imperial power has won a complete victory, and the church has lost the chance to come back.
This is all a matter of the future. Napoleon III is too late to enjoy the fruits of victory, and his messy thoughts continue to refresh the public's three views in France.
People who opposed the church and those who supported the church fought in the streets of Paris, and some people used guns. In the end, Napoleon III ordered the garrison to save the field and quelled the war.
The latent revolutionaries thought that the time for the revolution had come, and they jumped out to do things one after another, and all of a sudden the demons in Paris danced wildly.
Paris is chaotic, and Italy is even more chaotic. The chaotic situation allowed the revolutionaries to see an opportunity.
Mazzini, the founder of the Italian Youth Party, and Garibaldi, the leader of the Italian National Independence and Salvation Army, have both returned in secret, preparing to launch an armed uprising to overthrow the French rule.
Before the uprising began, divisions took place within the rebel army. Thought leader Mazzini and military leader Garibaldi clashed over ideas.
Garibaldi said passionately: "Napoleon III's behavior has broken with the Holy See, and the Holy See now wants to kill him.
Now is the best opportunity for us to unite the forces of the Church in an uprising and overthrow the French in one fell swoop. "
The strength of the Italian Revolutionary Party is very limited, and it is divided into more than ten organizations, large and small. Everyone is only temporarily united under the mediation of the British. In fact, they still go their separate ways.
In order to drive out the French as soon as possible, Garibaldi advocated a united church and used the power of the Holy See to overthrow the French rule.
Mazzini said righteously: "No, union with the rotten Holy See is not a revolution at all, it is nothing but a change of ruler for Italy.
The purpose of our revolution is to drive out the French, overthrow feudal rule, and establish a united, free Italy. "
The feudal rule also included the Holy See in the programme of the Al-Shabaab in Italy, and the two sides stood on opposite sides from the very beginning.
This idea has been widely spread in Italy and won the approval of most revolutionaries.
The original goal was to expel the Austrians, and now they are replaced by the French. In addition to practical needs, there are also the results of compromise by all parties.
In order to reduce the difficulty, the revolutionaries decided to choose the number one enemy, France, as their enemy, and then consider the Austrian issue after the French were driven away.
The ideological differences have caused the revolutionary party to fall into a split. It's not that Garibaldi and Mazzini are ignoring the bigger picture, it's that their personal compromises are useless.
These two views have a group of supporters within the revolutionary party. Everyone knows that the hardest thing in the world is to put your own thoughts into other people's minds.
After being suppressed by the French, the main force of the revolutionary party is now the hot-blooded youth and idealists, and these people are very firm in their revolutionary stance. The point of view that has been confirmed, the nine cows can't pull it back.
Before the uprising could break out, the revolutionary party split first. No, they have never been unified, and there are even more than a dozen revolutionary leaders, but Garibaldi and Mazzini are the most influential.
The former has led an armed uprising and is the force of the revolutionary party; the latter is the initiator of the idea of Italian grand unification and the ideological leader of the revolutionary party.
The uprising was still launched, and John Bull's money was not easy to get. The revolutionaries were not productive, and would have starved to death sooner or later without the help of British patrons.
In fact, in this era, many revolutionary parties in Europe are selling dog meat. With tall slogans in his mouth, he is doing the activities of male thieves and female prostitutes behind his back.
No way, everyone has to eat. Revolutionaries are no exception. Either they have a golden thigh, or they can only support themselves.
It is not so easy to "support oneself". There are not one or two revolutionaries, and they have the stinking problem of being over-the-top and under-handed. It is not so easy to feed this large group of people.
It is better to ask the capitalists to donate to count on the citizens to donate. Revolutionary parties are basically wanted criminals, and they cannot make public appearances in the country at all.
Ordinary people don't have a lot of money in their pockets. Even if they are willing to give generously, it is a drop in the bucket and can only be made up by the amount. This increases the risk of exposure, and the more people who know it, the more there is no confidentiality.
In the end, we can only rely on the capitalists to pay. After all, they are very powerful, and they only need to contact a limited number of capitalists to raise a sum of money, and the risk of exposure is greatly reduced.
However, it is difficult for the capitalists to get money, and people risk their lives to support the revolution, and that should be rewarded.
It is impossible to wait for a successful revolution to be rewarded. Few capitalists would be so stupid, and most people would not be optimistic about the revolutionary party.
Even if the revolution is successful, it does not mean that they will be able to take power. There is no return on investment alone
Buying and selling, but few capitalists do.
In order to obtain funds, it is not surprising that these gold backbones have done an unseen business. In many cases, the revolutionary party is like white gloves, specializing in dirty work for the capitalists.
Of course, a large part of them are also taking the blame for others. Cases that cannot be found by the police are pushed to the revolutionary party, which is often the case.
There are naturally many revolutionary party members with integrity, but these people are usually relatively poor and need to go out to work to make money.
Most of the revolutionary organizations could not even collect the funds to launch an uprising, and they had no choice but to contact foreign forces to obtain financial assistance.
Even if they knew they were plotting against the tiger, the reality forced them to compromise.
The Italian Revolutionary Party chose to compromise in the face of reality. If the French had no supporters, no one would have the confidence to win.
There is also Franz's pot. When they attacked the Sardinian Kingdom, they were too ruthless, which hit the self-confidence of the Italians and made them have a strong sense of fear of foreign powers.
Later, when Garibaldi led a popular uprising in Naples, he was severely beaten by the French, making them understand what a "power gap" was.
This Italian uprising was the result of the British coaxing and deceiving. The London government assured the revolutionaries that as long as the uprising was successful, they would organize the European countries to intervene together.
If it were not for the endorsement of the British, the revolutionaries would not dare to give it a shot. After all, not long ago, they narrowly escaped the pursuit of the French and went into exile from Italy to Britain.
Garibaldi did not believe in the promise of the British, and if given the choice, he was not willing to launch an uprising at this time. In order to increase the success rate, he chose to drag the church into the water.
"Respected Mr. Mazzini, the most important thing now is to drive out the French and let Italy become an independent state, and other issues can be postponed.
The problem of the church, if the revolution succeeds, we have time to deal with it; if the revolution fails, Napoleon III will handle it for us.
At this point, the uprising is already on the horizon and has to be launched. In order to win, we must compromise. "
There is nothing wrong with this statement. Napoleon III is suppressing the church. If there is a ready-made excuse to send it, he will definitely not miss it.
Mazzini reluctantly accepted this statement, and it was not acceptable if he did not accept it. The British sent them back in secret at a high cost. How could they explain it without making some noise.
However, it is not easy to convince the subordinates. At least the reason for this is not enough. It is not difficult for idealists to compromise.
...
Despite the bumps, the Italians launched an armed uprising before Christmas in 1870. With the secret help of the church, the rebel army occupied Rome in one fell swoop.
The Italian region was surging, and under the instigation of the revolutionaries, uprisings emerged one after another, as if a new wave of revolution broke out again.
The sudden Roman uprising, like a slap in the face of Napoleon III, cast a shadow over the nascent French Empire.
In the Palace of Versailles, the angry Napoleon III immediately roared: "The Ministry of War immediately sends troops to suppress it, and at all costs, give me to put out this rebellion as soon as possible.
Hang me all the leaders of the revolutionary party, that's right, hang me. Don't be merciless this time, kill me without mercy. "
Obviously, Napoleon III at this time has been blown up by gas. There have been too many bad things recently, and it has exceeded his tolerance limit.
Minister of War Patrice McMahon replied quickly: "Yes, Your Majesty. We are ready, and the counter-insurgency forces will start today."
His Majesty the Emperor is angry, so he must show the greatest efficiency. Patrice McMahon still knew the seriousness of the consequences, and this gesture had to be made anyway.
On the same day, the troops will be dispatched to suppress the rebellion, which is indeed a little tight in terms of time. But it doesn't matter, as long as your own troops move, you can give the emperor an explanation.
This is the embodiment of political art, and it has to be done beautifully. The strength of the Revolutionary Party has not been taken seriously by Patrice McMahon. In his opinion, as long as the large army arrives, the rebellion can be crushed at any time.
The only difficulty lies in how to catch the enemy in one sweep without leaving hidden dangers in the future.
