2495 Two factions united

The picture is exhausted! Gan Bida now understands what these two so-called old friends are selling in the gourd, and there is no chance encounter at all. All the encounters have been planned long ago.

The union Duval mentioned was actually the union of two important anti-imperialist factions in France at that time.

When Xiao Letian was in Ryukyu, he once said that in the eyes of the officials of the Qing Dynasty, France may be an invincible capitalist power, but in my eyes, France is just a broken house with storms. On the surface, it looks tall and strong, but in fact, with a light kick, the decay inside it can make it collapse.

The ruling foundation of Napoleon III was not that strong at all. Due to years of military abuse and incorrect ascension to the throne, his public support rating was getting lower and lower.

Coupled with the French's natural romantic revolutionary complex, a large number of natural revolutionaries emerged within this nation.

The two groups of people opposed the imperial rule of Napoleon III were basically the republicans represented by Gan Bida.

Speaking of the French republicans, it has a long history. It can be traced back to the Great Revolution, and it cut off Louis XVI's head, captured the Bastille, and established a new French First Republic! The romantic French people played with all the kings in Europe were frightened.

Napoleon Bonaparte ended the short life of the First Republic of France! Then, it was the First Empire, which made the entire France love-hate relationship.

Six anti-French alliances were organized throughout Europe, and basically it took all its strength to pull Napoleon Bonaparte off the throne and France entered the Second Republic period.

But this regime did not last long. Napoleon Bonaparte's nephew was restored successfully and became the current second empire.

Unfortunately, Napoleon's nephew did far away, not as good as his uncle. Although news of victory continued to spread to the outside world, it was a pity that those victory, compared with his uncle's brilliant victory, was simply a comparison between the bright moon and the light of fireflies!

In addition, these victories did not bring actual benefits to the people, nor did they have a series of reforms to improve the welfare of the people in the country, which allowed more French people to join the opposition, and the power of the republicans flourished.

The Republicans have never given up their efforts. They have always had a huge mass base among the people. Many enlightened gentlemen, bankers, capitalists, and many new intellectuals and scholars are secretly working for the restoration of the Republic.

Napoleon III had thought about suppression. His cruel rule did kill many people, but he was helpless in the end because the opposition was too powerful, and he could not cut off the entire French wise brain. Therefore, in the second half of his rule, he was basically compromised, equilibrium and rebalanced.

Until 1869, Napoleon III even decided to amend the Constitution and release a large amount of power to the people in exchange for the Republicans' support for his rule.

The emperor wanted to replace the modern imperial system with the constitutional monarchy of Britain, but it was very regrettable that his little thoughts were seen through by these smart people at a glance.

Do an emperor who is reluctant to give up military power dare to say that he wants to practice constitutional monarchy? Is the constitution higher than the emperor or the emperor higher than the constitution? Even Napoleon III did not understand this most basic principle, so naturally there was no need for reform.

Gan Bida, a criminal who once went to jail, received huge votes of support in both parliamentary elections last year. This is due to the background of the times. The people have been resentful of the emperor for a long time, so the power of the republicans will naturally become stronger and stronger.

It was not only the republicans who resisted the rule of the Napoleonian imperial system, but also a very famous force in history, that is, the famous Paris Commune in later generations.

This is a truly real political left, whose power comes entirely from the lower class and from the working class. Their demands are more radical, and they directly want to establish a democratic country with proletarian dictatorship.

The main disseminators of this idea at that time were Blankey, the master of Valland and Duval!

This Blankey is a legendary figure. His life is a constant struggle, desperate struggle, and he still has to fight until his death.

At the age of 19, he joined the secret activities of the Charcoal Burning Party. At the age of 23, he participated in all the student movements he could participate in at that time. He was injured three times during the movement, and these three wounds were almost his military merits. Two were stabbed by bayonets and one was penetrated by bullets. This shows how radical and active this person was in the student movement at that time.

At the age of 29, he was exposed to the doctrine of utopia again. At the age of 30, he began to pick up his weapons and participated in the war against Charles X in Paris.

Since he was 30 years old, Blankey entered a long prison life. His life trajectory was very regular. He often gave public speeches on various occasions, wrote various articles, promoted his utopian ideas, and encouraged workers to carry out the revolution together.

This illegal publicity activity will naturally be searched by the police and then entered the prison. This cycle will continue again and again. Almost two-thirds of his career after the age of 30 are spent in prison.

Of course, during his release from prison, he planned several more famous uprisings. The most representative of them was the Paris Uprising in 1839.

It was not until 1865 that Blanqui secretly fled to Belgium for refuge. After that, it was not until the establishment of the Paris Commune that he returned to his motherland.

This is a truly legendary figure who spent his entire life in revolutionary struggles, and it was like a burning torch, sowing countless sparks on the boundless wasteland, bringing out batches of revolutionaries.

It can be said that all the senior leaders in the entire Paris Commune movement grew up under the nourishment of his ideological system.

Even this group of his people was called the Blancists by Napoleon III. In the eyes of the emperor, they belonged to very threatening political factions.

Of course, Gan Bida knew Blankey. He had come into contact with Blankey a long time ago and accepted some new ideas. Unfortunately, Gan Bida was a pragmatic politician and did not have much interest in utopianism, so he parted ways.

I never expected that when Gan Bida returned to politics, these utopians actually found it again, and this time they actually brought a more radical cooperation plan.

"Ganbida, our old friend, unite with us, abandon all fantasies about Napoleon III, organize the power of the working class, and let us overthrow this decadent dynasty with force!"

"Didn't you always dream of forming a Third Republic? You can rest assured that our working class will help you, and your dream will surely come true."

"As long as we can work together, we can make the entire Paris charge horn sound, we can organize hundreds of thousands of new troops, the red flag of change will penetrate the whole city, and France is destined to rise again!"

“As long as we can unite, there is nothing we can’t do.”
