Odilon Barrow, who was constrained by the dissolution of the Constitutional Committee as he wished, was once again stunned.
If you want to destroy something, you must first make it crazy.
This time, Prime Minister Barrow of the "Return of the King" not only disbanded the Republican Armed Rangers, but also proposed two major evil policies in the parliament: "restoring the salt tax" and "restoring the wine tax."
France's tax revenue increased by 100 million francs due to two bad policies, but with the help of some "well-intentioned people", Odilon Barrow has become notorious.
Farmers near the Seine Province may not know Odilon Barro, but when the name Odilon Barro is mentioned, they want to eat his flesh and drink his blood.
The Republicans and the Montagnards, who were unable to resist, could only choose to protest by slamming the table in the National Assembly to show their dissatisfaction. However, in the eyes of the Party of Order, their protests were nothing more than flies buzzing in their ears and did not pose any threat.
This is not over yet. As Odilon Barrow's loyal henchman, Leon Fuchs once again dealt a fatal blow to the republicans in the parliament.
On January 31, Leon Fuchs published a bill on the right of association in the National Assembly. The first article of this bill was to disband gatherings such as "clubs" and "cafés".
If the Einsatzgruppe is the gun of the republicans, then the "club" is the lifeblood of the republicans.
The famous banquet movement in 1847 started from the "Club" and then spread to the entire France.
Although the Republicans in the National Assembly fiercely opposed the bill enacted by Leon Fuchs, how could they withstand the Party of Order because they were so petty.
With the help of the Party of Order, all rallies in Paris except those of the Party of Order and the Bonapartist faction (the Elysée Palace faction) were disbanded.
The time is approaching when the Republicans and the Montagnards will be swept out of the National Assembly.
After clearing out the opposition forces of the Party of Order in the National Assembly, Odilon Barrow began his career in power.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who acted as the hands-off treasurer, was also not idle. He devoted himself to the cabinet. Odilon Barrot and Thiers gave Jérôme Bonaparte the opportunity to get involved in the army.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who hoped to strengthen ties with the military, immediately established the Military Department. This department, located below the secretary's office, mainly contained letters from the military to the president.
Jérôme Bonaparte also stipulated that every letter must be read by himself before replying personally. Even if it was a letter written to him by an ordinary soldier, Jérôme Bonaparte would reply to them seriously without any pretense. Others’ harvest.
Over time, the news of the emperor's nephew's personal reply spread to the ears of all the soldiers stationed near Paris.
The generals and middle-level officers who were also eager to receive letters from the emperor's nephew wrote to the Military Administration one after another, and were looking forward to a letter from Jérôme Bonaparte.
Every day, the Military Administration received nearly 100 such letters, and Jérôme Bonaparte read them all one by one and responded to them. For a while, the lights in the Elysee Palace study room were on all night, and he was so excited to reply to the letters. The exhausted Jérôme Bonaparte even fell asleep on his desk.
Pesigny also tried to write a letter on behalf of Jerome Bonaparte, but was rejected by him. He was convinced that this was the only way to make the Paris army know him and win the morale of the troops stationed in the suburbs of Paris.
When seeing certain envelopes of complaints, Jérôme Bonaparte would also include a few Napoleon gold coins.
The hard work paid off, Jérôme Bonaparte's replies and inquiries day and night were rewarded, and the army began to regard Jérôme Bonaparte as "our highness."
Many new-generation officers (college-level officers) stationed in the legions near Paris expressed their desire to get close to Jerome Bonaparte. Jerome Bonaparte also often invited these officers to the Elysee. The palace is a guest.
Every Sunday night, the Elysée Palace becomes a gathering place for school-level officers.
Jérôme Bonaparte, who put on Lev's uniform, became the focus of the audience. The officers who were competing with each other affectionately called Jérôme Bonaparte "Your Majesty", and Jérôme Bonaparte also called him "Your Majesty". The officers present were "future generals."
The atmosphere of the banquet reached a climax with the words "Long live the Empire, long live Bonaparte!" The flame of ambition flashed in the eyes of all the officers.
Jerome Bonaparte can be sure that their ambitions can be used for him. Of course, the premise of all this is that he must give these Qiu Ba a feeling that he can win, otherwise these Qiu Ba, who are rude but actually shrewd, will not Be willing to follow yourself.
Qiu Ba, who has experienced three dynasties, has long accumulated the skills of a chameleon.
One after another, these "young" officers came to Jerome Bonaparte and toasted to Jerome Bonaparte.
Jérôme Bonaparte suddenly remembered the wise words of a dear friend, that the culture of the army is the culture of the winery.
You can't back down in front of this group of Qiu Ba!
Jerome Bonaparte could only drink one glass after another, and he drank the entire bottle of brandy quickly.
Just when Jerome Bonaparte was half drunk, a powerful but slightly balding middle-aged man appeared in front of Jerome Bonaparte. He raised his glass and said respectfully: "Empire" Long live!"
Compared to Qiu Ba, who was a little arrogant just now, the guy in front of him was a little too respectful.
Jerome Bonaparte asked curiously: "Can you tell me your name conveniently?"
The middle-aged man with curly hair and balding straightened his back instantly, and the iron blood of a soldier was displayed on his body: "My subordinate is François Sertan Canrobert, currently the colonel of the Zuave regiment!"
Canrobert, Colonel, Regiment Joao.
Three key pieces of information instantly awakened Jérôme Bonaparte's memory. The guy in front of him was not the person he was "looking for".
In history, after the fall of the empire, Canrobert still carried the banner of Bonaparte and worked hard for restoration in France.
Although the restoration failed in the end, his loyalty was indeed unmatched by other Bonapartists.
Of course, subordinates who are both loyal and capable must be taken under their command as soon as possible.
"Colonel Canrobert!" Jérôme Bonaparte showed a kind smile and asked in a kind tone: "I remember that the Zuave regiment was in North Africa. Why are you here?"
"My subordinates are here to receive honors!" Canrobert still showed a respectful attitude, looking like Bonaparte's potential reserve team.
"Well done for the medal! Well done for the medal!" Jérôme Bonaparte encouraged: "France needs generals like you who can fight and win wars!"
"You are overly complimentary!" Canrobert responded flattered.
"When will you be awarded the honor?" Jérôme Bonaparte asked next.
"tomorrow!"
