Struggle in Russia

Chapter 133: Boiling anti-profit days

In fact, from a global perspective, it is more than Russia's hell. Hell in Britain, **** in France, **** in Prussia, **** in Austria might as well give way, even more than Russia's resentment.

In these more capital-developed countries, industrialization has made wealth more polarized and made the living environment of the poor even worse. These have led to more resentment in these countries, and compared to foolish serfs, workers, especially those skilled in technology, have more advanced ideas and a stronger sense of struggle. Just one Mars can detonate them!

底 The end of December 1847. Approaching Christmas should be a sea of ​​joy. But this winter is so distant for European civilians. This winter was exceptionally cold and harsh.

农业 Since 1843, agriculture has been very stagnant, and potatoes, which are lowly and democratic food, have suffered widespread failures in several countries.

For example, in the Irish colonized by the British, farmers were almost lost because of the impact of the late potato blight. But British rulers turned a blind eye to the disaster and did not care about the lives of the Irish.

When the disaster broke out, when poor Irish in other European countries initiated charitable donations. What does the great Queen Victoria say? The queen categorically believes that there is no humanitarian disaster in Ireland and that there is no need to raise money for Irish lazy bones.

When the disaster lasted from 1845 to 1847, when Ireland had starved to millions, and another million people fled North America. At this moment the queen barely admitted that she could engage in charity, but don't have to donate too much.

So the British Empire, under the personal demonstration of the Queen, raised a huge £ 1,500 for the Irish untouchables for disaster relief.

Surprised or not surprised?

This money is not enough to give Irish people water, but the British feel that they are too compassionate. It is also said that the potato is "the most unreliable" and "the worst food" and is the product of the devil.

They said that long-term consumption of potatoes will only get closer to hell, and naturally will make God angry and lower the punishment. The Irish lazy bones that eat devil food are totally blamed and not worthy of sympathy.

This is probably the British version of Why Not Eat Meat. It seems that the Irish are two fools, don't eat the better bread, and eat the unpleasant mashed potatoes, so they should starve to death.

The question is, is this true? The 8.5 million Irish in 1843 occupied only 5% of Ireland's land. Other Irish lands are in the hands of British landowners. Need to feed more than 95% of the population with poor 5% of the land, what to eat without potatoes?

What's more, Irish people are not allowed to hire more than two apprentices, to study abroad, to apply for degrees and scholarships at universities, not to be public officials, jurors, lawyers and teachers, not to attend parliament, to have no voting rights, not to be allowed Purchase of land, even personal property is restricted!

For example, the Irish are not allowed to own more than five pounds of horses! Exports to foreign countries are not allowed yet. And in order to ensure an adequate food supply in the industrialized United Kingdom, barley, wheat, and oats produced on all land in Ireland must be sold only to the British mainland.

To put it bluntly, Ireland is the logistics support center of the United Kingdom. Everything produced in Ireland serves the United Kingdom. As for the Irish, who cares what they eat!

The Irish are probably the worst in Europe because they are too far from heaven and too close to Britain. But in the winter of 1847, it wasn't just the Irish who found it difficult. In Sicily, Italy, Paris, France, Prussia, the Netherlands, and Orly, the grievances of the people have reached their peak!

They can't eat and drink warmly, work infinitely long, and have an infinitely poor working environment. Squeezed until the last point disappears.

Sicily, the capital of Palermo.

This is a beautiful seaport city, close to the Tyrrhenian Sea. The warm climate here is suitable for agricultural development and is rich in citrus, olive and lemon. People living in this city are accustomed to the Mediterranean-style leisure life and rely on the sky to feed themselves.

But this does not mean that the Sicilians are all pasta personality, they are not soft, but rather firm. After the demise of the Western Roman Empire, Italy was just a geographical concept. The whole nation was fragmented. The Austrians, French, and British, as long as they were powers, had to insert a foot here, as well as Poland, which was divided up Not much stronger.

However, with the spread of enlightenment and the awakening of Italian nationality, more and more Italians are not satisfied with the status quo. They urged to change the fragmented status quo, realize the unity of the country and the nation, and drive away foreign interference!

Sicily is also affected by it. Liberalism is widely spread here. Both the peasant craftsmen and the bourgeoisie are extremely dissatisfied with their political status, especially with the dictatorship and secret police of Ferdinando II.

In fact, as early as 1837, a revolutionary movement demanding the Constitution broke out in Sicily ~ www.ltnovel.com ~ but was strongly suppressed by Ferdinando II. Then ten years later, in the cruel winter of 1847, the Sicilian dissatisfaction reached its peak!

"We must act! The actions of Reggio Calabria and Messina are our role models! Ferdinando II is not as strong as he thought, and we are all sympathizers in the government!"

"As long as someone fires the first shot in Palermo, then the angry people will take to the streets and Ferdinando II will get off!"

"At that time, the constitution that belonged to us, the freedom that belonged to us, all had it!"

"Guys! What are you waiting for? It's now!"

Various rumors and conspiracies are brewing in the beautiful city of Palermo. I am afraid that Ferdinando II could not imagine that the revolution that broke out in his capital will soon sweep across Europe and almost establish a subversion. New world of sex.

At this time, the king was still having a headache for the flood of liberals, and the "heresy" spread from the neighboring Sardinia annoyed him. He didn't understand the second kid of the Gafur family. What kind of trouble do you want?

你 Isn't your aristocracy not enjoying the extensive privileges and being content with your transcendent status?

Why do you want to promote those devil theories, well, even if you like to do all sorts of things, you can stay in your country honestly, toss the kingdom of Sardinia to disgusting Carlo Alberto, OK?

If Gafur appears before Ferdinando II, the good-tempered king will not hesitate to order the arrest of the devil in his eyes. It's a pity that he couldn't reach it any more. At this time, Gafur was hosting some mysterious foreign friends and talking about something that could shock Europe ...
