Holy Roman Empire

After the victory of the bourgeois revolution, the situation in Europe did not improve, but worsened.

The capitalist who has just turned over to become the master has exposed the essence of greed before he has settled down.

The newly established bourgeois government not only failed to honour its previous promises, but intensified the oppression of the people at the bottom.

Where there is oppression, there is resistance, and the workers and peasants movement begins to flourish.

In Lombardy, Marshal Radkis levied a lot of food before he evacuated. After the Kingdom of Sardinia occupied the area, the city of Milan lacked food in order to raise food and borrowed some food from the local people for emergency.

It's easy to borrow and repay.

It is a pity that the Kingdom of Sardinia seems to have forgotten to borrow food from the people, which has caused dissatisfaction among the local people.

That's all, only a few people were borrowed anyway.Next, in order to raise funds for war, the Kingdom of Sardinia began to collect war taxes.

After the bureaucrats stepped up, the amount of war tax has long exceeded the affordability of the people at the bottom.

On April 21, 1848, the farmers of Brianza who could not afford the high taxes reversed, and the uprising quickly spread to Salerno, Calabria and other regions.

The rebel army occupied the noble manor, seized the granary, distributed the grain to the ordinary people, burned the loans and documents, and even divided the land in some places.

The peasant uprising's approach terrified the capitalists and nobles.The Lombard government sent troops for the first time to suppress it by force. The spontaneous uprising of the peasant class was put out in less than a week.

The peasant uprising was just the beginning. After the Sardinian occupation of Milan, prices began to skyrocket.Take bread as an example. From March to the beginning of May, the price skyrocketed by 74%.

The capitalists took advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money in the country, and the bottom people were hungry, cold, and unsustainable, which hurt many people who supported the Kingdom of Sardinia.

On April 25, under the organization of workers ’cooperatives, more than 5,000 workers in Milan took to the streets and petitioned the temporary government appointed by the Kingdom of Sardinia to demand that the government calm prices and protect workers’ rights.

There is no perfect worker protection law in this era, and the best is the “Labor Protection Law” and its subsidiary laws promulgated by the Vienna government.

There are not many workers in Milan who are literate, let alone considering political influence. Worker representatives directly copied a part of Austria ’s “Labor Protection Law” and added some provisions that they think are reasonable, and submitted the petition. .

In order to attract local capitalists and nobles, the Kingdom of Sardinia naturally needed capitalists in the interim government. They used this loophole as soon as possible, arrested workers ’representatives on the charge of Austrian spies, and sent troops to suppress the march.

On April 28, a strike movement broke out in Milan. Tens of thousands of workers took to the streets to fight for their rights and interests. The interim government ordered the National Self-Defense Force to shoot at "people who disturbed social order." More than 300 people were killed and arrested on the spot. More than 500 people.

White terror flooded the city of Milan. Under the suppression of the bourgeois liberal government, the Milan workers' movement fell into a low tide.

...

The suppression of the workers and peasants movement is far more than the Kingdom of Sardinia. The bourgeois liberal governments have also suppressed the workers and peasants movement.

In Naples, the National Self-Defense Force shot the workers of the printing house that were on strike; in Rome, the National Self-Defense Force slaughtered the people who asked for bread in front of the bakery; ...

The retrogression of the bourgeois government provides the most powerful support for the restoration of feudal forces.

No matter how they brag about it, capitalism is more advanced than feudalism, but the people at the bottom find that the capitalist regime is more abominable than the feudal aristocracy.

The noble monarchy group also seized this opportunity and took the opportunity to launch a counterattack, the most representative of which is the Austrian counterrevolutionary group headed by Franz, which has suppressed most of the revolution in Austria.

The Italian region, Rome Pius IX, feared that Italy would lose its throne and that it would lose the support of Catholics in the war with Austria.

With the efforts of the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, on April 29, 1848, Pius IX issued the "Declaration", which opened the horn of counterattack.

On May 15, King Naples Ferdinand II demanded that parliamentarians swear allegiance to the Constitution and was opposed by bourgeois parliamentarians.

That night, Ferdinand II transferred troops into the city and raised a butcher knife against the bourgeois parliament.

The Kingdom of Prussia, the Junker nobles who were unwilling to fail, were plotting to fight back. King Frederick William III was still fooling with the bourgeois government.

France

As the source of the European Revolution, it is naturally the most lively place.

Constitutional elections were held in France on April 23, the bourgeois republicans won an overwhelming victory, and the working class was excluded from the core of rights.

French right-wing forces came to power, causing dissatisfaction among the working class.

On April 26, French workers launched armed uprisings in cities such as Lyon and Limoges. Worker leader Blanqui issued a statement condemning the government for betraying the revolution and announcing that the revolution would be carried through.

Class contradictions have risen to become the main contradictions in France, and the working class and the bourgeoisie have parted ways.

At the same time, the royalists were not idle, and they extended their hands into the army indifferently.

If it were not for the French royalists to divide into three and contain each other, there is no longer anything to do with the bourgeoisie.

...

Vienna

Looking at the information gathered in his hands, Franz breathed a sigh of relief. History has not changed much, and his butterfly effect has not completely changed the world.

The uprising broke out in the Lombardy region, which means that the local population base of the Kingdom of Sardinia has been pulled to the same level as Austria, and there is no need to worry about falling into the people ’s war.

Venice

"Marshal, the enemy is out!" Vic said in Marshal Radkis' ears.

"Well, since the enemy has come, then there is no need to hide and hold it. Order the sixth division to first teach the Tuscan army, and order the ninth division to destroy the Papal army crossing the river!" Field Marshal coldly ordered

Introducing the Sardinian army into Venice was already very difficult. Radkis did not expect to defeat the enemy by means of tactics.

"My Excellency Marshal, I heard that King Charles Albert is going to be on the front line, and if he intervenes, our opportunity will come!" Edman suggested.

"No, we just need to open up our position and fight the enemy in the Mantua area. They have no choice.

In the battle in the Venice area, the transportation cost of the Kingdom of Sardinia is twice as high as ours. You can calculate how much materials they need to transport every day to ensure the supply of the front line."Marshal Radkis said calmly
