The temperature in Paris has been getting colder since November. The young bourgeoisie living in Paris have used fireplaces one after another. The price of wood in Paris has also increased slightly with the use of fireplaces. The increase in wood prices has attracted speculators in Paris.
In droves, many timber-related stocks rose slightly. The rise in stocks also fueled the enthusiasm of Paris timber companies. Every day, groups of workers can be seen in the Bois de Boulogne on the outskirts of southern Paris.
, they cut down trees in the forest and transport them to lumber camps for peeling and cutting, and then send them to Paris for sale.
On this day, Sabourin, who runs a small shop by himself in Paris, opened his business early with his neck curled up. His shop is located on a street in Saint-Lachar. He was also on this street in June last year.
I fought with the army and those damn "thugs".
Although he was dragged out of his home by some damn guys (referring to regular army officers) in an arrogant manner, it was also the first battle in his life. The thick artillery and the regular army officers showed no mercy.
The expression on his face is still fresh in his memory.
Seeing the barricades shattered by artillery and the limbs hanging on the broken barricades, Sabourin's romance with war was broken by cruelty. Only then did he understand that those National Guard officers transferred from North Africa were drunk and
Ridiculing them for not understanding that war is so real that it cannot be more real.
After experiencing that incident, Sablin no longer thought about war and revolution. He just wanted to run his shop honestly.
In the incident in June this year, Sabourin decisively encouraged some people to oppose the proposal of the leader of his regiment to march.
Sablin's decision was undoubtedly the right one. The three remaining legions that had marched were forcibly disbanded, and the head of the legion who had agreed to the march was also dismissed by them.
[The National Guard is different from the French regular army. The appointment and dismissal of legion commanders and battalion commanders can be recommended by the soldiers or from above. During the February Revolution, Alexandre Dumas wanted to lead troops to defend the Kingdom of Orleans but was rejected by the soldiers.
After the May Revolution, he was deposed by soldiers united together.]
Sabourin, who has seen the cruelty of "hell", the only thing that remains the same is the Peace of Paris.
Because Sabourin opened its doors too early and people affected by the cold wave had not yet gotten out of bed, Sabourin's business was somewhat sluggish.
Not long after, a man who looked like a postman entered Sablin's shop: "Mr. Sablin, thank you for your support of the newspaper!"
The postman took out several newspapers and placed them in front of Sabourin. Then Sabourin took off his hat and thanked him before leaving.
Looking at the newspapers placed on the counter, Sabourin knew that he finally had something to pass the time.
Sabourin reached out and pulled out the newspaper above. On the newspaper was an eye-catching hand-drawn drawing. The protagonist of the hand-drawn drawing was a farmer holding a manure fork and a big knife, and next to him was a gentleman wearing a tight suit. The gentleman's
There is a pattern embroidered on the suit, and the shape of the pattern is somewhat similar to Paris.
Regardless of the content of the text, the picture first attracted Sabourin's attention. Sabourin glanced at the name of the newspaper "The Observer" in the upper right corner of the news.
Very good! The content of the news is quite authentic and credible!
This newspaper, which suddenly emerged in early 1949, has won the habit of some Parisian people with its "pertinent" political commentary, well-intentioned criticism of the government, and some gossip. Of course, some Parisian people believe that this kind of newspaper is the official "cleansing"
"local faction".
No one knows that the Observer is a sub-newspaper controlled by "Bonaparte" through cross-shareholdings, and that the mastermind behind "Bonaparte" is Jérôme Bonaparte, and those so-called pertinent
Language and internal information were also used by Jérôme Bonaparte to let people pass on the information, in order to build up an image for newspapers such as the Observer.
Sabourin, who wholeheartedly agreed with the Observer, read on.
Under the picture is a French title in black print, which reads "Beware of the Infiltration of Foreign Anti-French Forces into Paris."
"What foreign forces?" Sabourin instantly thought of the British Kingdom in the Strait of La Manche.
The blood feud between Britain and France that lasted for more than 600 years made all French people think of the British Kingdom at the first time. Only they had the ability to overthrow France.
Sabourin then read on. The content was roughly that some politicians with ulterior motives secretly sneaked into France after collecting money from a certain country in an attempt to cause turmoil in Paris, and then entangled a group of monarchies to attack France.
Although there is no sentence in the content that refers to the British by name, Sabourin can be sure that this is a British conspiracy, and only shameless British people will get along with this kind of conspiracy.
After reading the content, Sablin yelled: "Damn, damn Anza gang!"
After cursing for a moment, Sablin turned his attention to the government and the Parliament. There was not a good word for the Parliament in Sablin's mouth.
For President Jérôme Bonaparte, he only felt grateful.
In his heart, only the president is the one who truly stabilizes Paris. He is as great as his uncle.
If Jérôme Bonaparte could hear Sabourin's inner praise, he would definitely feel that his small favor seemed to have some effect.
Sablin, who criticized the government and parliament, fell into a panic. He was afraid that if what the newspaper said was true, the special agents would be living in danger all the time.
"Maybe there is a deviation in the report?" Sablin comforted himself, and then said to himself: "Look at other newspapers!"
After that, Sablin once again pulled out a newspaper, which was a newspaper indirectly controlled by Havas Newspapers.
The content of the newspaper is "Crisis! There is a rebellion in Provence, and the rebels are likely to attack Paris"
"Provence has rebelled again?" Sabourin exclaimed. He remembered that there were rumors of a rebellion in the Provence region as early as half a year ago. Fortunately, Marshal Bijo took action in time, otherwise a disaster might have brewed.
[In June 1849, in response to Ludru Roland's call, Lyon workers launched an uprising strike. Marshal Biro, the commander of the Italian Front, massacred them, and then placed the taint of royalists on their heads.
Name. The information known to Paris at that time was only the information about the rebellion launched by the Paris royalists.]
Now they are rebelling again. Is France really going to be subverted?
Sabourin complained even more about the inaction of the Legislative Assembly.
The content of the third newspaper was different from the first two newspapers. The content was that a small-scale rebellion occurred in a garrison in a certain province in central France...
Three consecutive newspapers reported bad news about France, causing Sabourin to have deep doubts about the competence of the Legislative Assembly.
When he picked up the fourth newspaper and checked it, there was no news about the rebellion at all, only various articles praising the National Assembly.
This gave Sablin an unreal feeling. He suspected that this was an official newspaper, and only officially published newspapers would have such disgusting praise.
Sablin took a look at the name of the newspaper. Just as he guessed, this newspaper was indeed an official newspaper.
Sabourin picked up an official mouthpiece and read it again. Sure enough, just like the newspaper just now, there was no bad news about France in the whole newspaper, and most of the articles were praising France.
This made him even more convinced that the situation described by the newspapers he just read was probably reality.
"Damn the Parliament! What are they doing?" Sabourin became even more resentful of the Parliament.
As the highest authority in France, it has the corresponding power but cannot bear the obligation of trust, which leads to the corruption of the entire French situation. This is a manifestation of incompetence.
On this day, not only Sabourin but the whole of Paris was filled with deep resentment. Parisian citizens were afraid that these news would become reality, and they vented all their resentment in the Legislative Assembly.
Under the clamor of some "careful people", Paris actually issued a call to "dissolve the Legislative Assembly and hold universal suffrage again."
The citizens' appeal is undoubtedly good news for the Republicans and the Montagnards in the Legislative Assembly. Only by renewing the general election can they regain the lost seats.
Therefore, the Republicans and the Mountain Party loudly shouted the slogan of "universal suffrage" in the parliament, while the members of the Party of Order fell silent.
Thiers, the seat of the Party of Order, also keenly felt that this conspiracy was probably aimed at them. However, because Thiers did not hold power, and Jérôme Bonaparte did not take action directly, Thiers
Yeer could not see clearly who was behind the scenes. He could only attribute it all to another attack by the Republicans and the Mountain Party.
It was this attack that made the Party of Order completely determined to take back all the votes they had given to the French people. Only in this way could the Republicans and the Montagnards be completely silenced.
However, before that, the Legislative Assembly issued an announcement, which stated that "recent rumors in France are false and untrue. I hope that every French person can keep their eyes open and discern the news carefully!"
At the same time, the Elysee Palace also "took action".
Jérôme Bonaparte summoned the Inspector General of Police to the Elysée Palace.
"Director Carlier, it's your turn to take action!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to the veteran Bonapartist in front of him.
Callier, who had been given charge of all police affairs in Paris by Jérôme Bonaparte, asked humbly: "Your Majesty, what should I do?"
"Fine them, detain them, and make them write a letter of guarantee!" Jérôme Bonaparte said to Carlier, and then added: "By the way, you can't seal the newspaper office, and you can't beat them either! Do you hear that?
"
"Yes! Your Majesty!" Calliere responded with a bow.
"Go!" Jerome Bonaparte waved his hand, and Director Carlier left.
After a while, Marcel Jerug, the director of the Investigation Department, appeared in Jérôme Bonaparte's study.
"After Callier took action, you immediately spread the news that the police station's actions were taken by the parliament to cover up their incompetence... In short, the bigger the conflict, the better! By the way, don't let Callier find out!" Gérault
