The situation in France went as Jérôme Bonaparte expected.
After the incident of winning back the body of Louis Napoleon on June 1, Paris indeed ushered in a brief peace between the proletariat and the bourgeoisie.
The bourgeoisie once again remembered the glory of the Napoleonic Empire, while the proletariat believed that the government's return of Louis Napoleon's body was to implement Louis Napoleon's theories and seek welfare for the workers.
Under the false peace, the workers finally stayed quiet for a few days.
Lamartine also received unanimous praise from Paris for his strategy of retrieving the body of Louis Napoleon. His votes in the Seine Province surpassed Ledru Rolland, who was known as the "Friend of the Workers", and became the first in the Seine Province.
Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.
However, illusions are illusions after all. After a long wait of half a month, the happy workers did not wait for any reform measures from the government.
Starving, they decided to take action to protest again to the National Assembly.
On June 15, a group of workers rushed in front of the National Assembly, and the police officers responsible for guarding the National Assembly were disarmed by the workers.
The originally peaceful National Assembly became chaotic due to the appearance of workers.
The workers explained their background to the members of the National Assembly and hoped that the National Assembly would face up to their demands.
Perhaps because the workers were outnumbered, members of the National Assembly pushed Thiers out of negotiations.
In order to stabilize the workers, Thiers pretended to agree to all the workers' suggestions.
Workers who believed in the impartiality of the National Assembly left satisfied.
Although General Goulden arrived afterwards and led the National Guard to arrest some workers, he was dismissed from his post after seriously losing points in the National Assembly.
After this episode, the National Assembly lost its last vestige of patience with the workers.
With the promotion of Thiers and others, Cavaignac, who served as the Governor of Algeria and returned to Paris to report on his duties, was elected as the Minister of War of the French Republic.
The iron-blooded butcher will become the object of hatred among the Parisian working class.
Once the executioner is ready, the next step is to take action.
With the authorization of the National Assembly, Cavaignac secretly transferred more than 50,000 troops from the Seine and nearby provinces to the suburbs of Paris.
As soon as the orders of the National Assembly were given, they pounced on Paris.
On June 20, everything was ready, except to kick out the annoying ruling committee.
Under the proposal of Representative Fallo of the Party of Order [the Orthodox faction], the National Assembly decided to agree to Theo of Representative Fallo after intense discussions.
The newspaper "On the Dissolution of the National Assembly" appeared openly in Paris.
The workers angrily looked at the remarks published by the "National", a so-called republican newspaper. They did not want to believe that the government they fought hard for in February would abandon them in just four months.
On June 25, a massive parade began, involving nearly 30,000 workers. The whole of Paris seemed to be occupied in an instant. Those handsomely dressed gentlemen and ladies stood at the window and looked at the shabby workers holding red flags. The eyes of the workers were full of fear and disgust. In their eyes, these workers were not people who shared their fate at all. They were parasites of the entire Paris, rioters who destroyed their tranquility.
The workers moved forward fearlessly in the disgusted eyes of the property owners. They came to the Paris City Hall and demanded an explanation from Paris.
However, what awaited them was not a government mediator, but a cold notice.
The notice said: According to the unanimous consent of the National Assembly and the ruling committee, the national factories will be dissolved, the young and middle-aged people in the national factories will be incorporated into the army, and the remaining personnel will be sent to other provinces to work.
This notice is not so much a notice as a declaration of war from the bourgeois government.
It was not the so-called aristocrats who issued this notice, but a group of scholars, psychologists, and poets. These people who should have been on the same front as the working people have now become potential executioners who want the lives of workers.
When the workers were about to negotiate with the ruling committee, Paris Mayor Marast met with representatives elected by the workers. The workers' representatives told Marast that if the government did not revoke the order, they would start a revolution like the February Revolution. Another revolution.
The threat from the workers' representatives was not taken to heart by Marast. In an arrogant manner, he told the workers' representatives that either the workers would obey the government's orders and disband on their own, or the government would force the dissolution.
The second condition is not as favorable as the first condition.
[After this incident, Marast became the Speaker of the National Assembly. 】
"Sir, then we will defend our rights in our own way!" The worker representative issued an ultimatum to Marast with trembling lips.
Marast, who knew from some way that the army was stationed, would certainly not be afraid of the threat from the workers. Once the workers took action, what awaited them would be the thunder of 50,000 troops in conjunction with the National Guard.
Marast continued to speak to the workers in an arrogant tone: "It's up to you!"
The workers' representatives led the workers away, and they wanted to use this last moment to mobilize.
The National Assembly is also not idle. An authoritarian proposal, promoted by the Party of Order, to suspend the power of the ruling council and transfer it to Cavaignac is being put to a vote.
It was Bastide who succeeded Lamartine as French Foreign Minister who proposed this proposal.
[Bastide: a right-wing republican who succeeded Lamartine as Minister of Foreign Affairs in early June and was also the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the government of the dictator Cavaignac. 】
The Party of Order and the Republican right-wingers unanimously agreed to the proposal to suspend the governing council and also announced the appointment of Cavaignac as the governing body, which is currently the only governing body in France.
After the meeting, the Bonapartists gathered in Princess Mathilde's private residence to plot.
"Your Highness is right! Those guys are really going to attack them!" Pesini said with excitement.
"Yes! I didn't expect that they couldn't help it so quickly!" Ruai also sighed with emotion. The peace only lasted for less than half a month before another revolution was about to be born.
"My brother didn't tell me, what should I do next?" Princess Mathilde asked.
Since Pierre Bonaparte's intention to replace Jerome Bonaparte as Bonaparte leader was thwarted, the old Jerome Bonaparte had no intention of helping his younger brother Mathilde in the Bonaparte small group. .Bonaparte became the backbone of the Bonapartist faction in France.
"His Highness asked us in the letter to restrain ourselves during the martial law period and not to let them find out our mistakes."
"Rue, let all Bonapartists try not to expose themselves to the government's sight during this period."
"yes!"
