Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

The Tuileries' garden had become the sea where all the negative emotions were concentrated!

The plainly dressed woman knelt on the ground and wailed, "We've lost, we've lost! Shameful ah, how can we let Prussian lose? What happened to the undefeatable Bonaparte Family? "

"The Empire has produced a traitor!" The failure must be because the nobles who did not know the country and its people colluded with the barbarians of the north to sell their country! "That must be it …" The worker leaders were angrily roaring from the wood box. Hundreds of people followed them and shouted.

The republicans have also spared no effort in jumping up and down "Reform! Only by reforming the nation's constitution could the defeat be saved! Let the emperor return to the council and implement a comprehensive constitutional monarchy! "

"We need to change the constitution so that we can restrain the imperial power!"

Most of these republicans were university professors, scholars, and politicians in the field. Their reputation was also very high, and countless fans were shouting slogans to support them.

"To amend the Constitution! The Rebellion Council! "

Some even shouted out the slogan of restoring the Republic, and these radicals jumped up and down in the crowd. "Restoring the Republic!" We do not need the Emperor to control our own armies! "

"Letting the people's army go against the Prussian is the only possibility of victory!"

In the chaotic garden, by noon, there were already fifty to sixty thousand people crowded around. It was so dark that one couldn't even see the end of it.

Montauban could no longer sit still. He had personally gone to the front and led the Janissaries in a defensive formation. The horsemen formed a long line to cut through the crowd and the palace, even pulling out the barbed wire at the crossroads. Behind them, the infantry held their rifles and bayonets, gleaming in the sunlight.

The scorching summer sun roasted the entire city like an oven. Everyone was sweating profusely. In just one morning, over a hundred people had already fainted from the heat.

However, even the hottest weather could not stop the people's wild patriotism. They tore open the buttons of their shirts and opened their arms, allowing the stench of sweat to permeate the air.

Under the leadership of countless leaders, they shouted out the slogan of unity!

"severely punish the traitor! severely punish the traitor! " They couldn't even count the names of the bandits!

"Restoration of the Republic! China will be reinstated! " These republicans had finally found a chance to turn the tables!

"Long live the proletariat! Establishment of a proletarian regime! "Long live!" The workers' leaders were shouting at the top of their lungs. Their voices were the loudest as the working class of Paris was the absolute main force in today's demonstration.

The Queen came out from her initial state of panic and looked coldly at the scene below her. She said indifferently, "There's nothing to be afraid of. It's just a piece of loose sand!" The workers on the left, the Republicans, the nationalist without a political agenda... "

"Their demands are not uniform. Don't look at how fierce they are right now, but they will disperse once it gets dark!"

The empress's words were meant for Thiers to hear, but this representative who forced the palace to stay had never left!

When he heard the empress's words, she laughed faintly. "Your Highness, I'm afraid you've underestimated the people's strong will …"

"Honestly speaking, how many years has it been since France encountered a failure? "I've never felt this much pain ever since Waterloo. National feelings are really not easy to get through!"

What Thiers said was not wrong, in this huge parade in Paris of over five hundred thousand people, after the hottest noon, the chaos had actually been replaced by a strange order.

The five hundred thousand citizens walked onto the streets because of the news of the defeat, and the Tuileries' Palace was the center of all the demonstrations. At the moment, there were more than thirty thousand people gathered in the garden, and the Champs-Elysées behind them was even crowded with over a hundred thousand people.

A parade of this scale was originally very difficult to achieve unity of opinion. However, today was strange. At that time, after one o'clock in the afternoon, the sounds on the streets gradually became one.

The voice of the speaker from the crowd suddenly changed as he began to speak words of encouragement that were similar to what was being said!

"People of the France! At the moment, the priority is to chase the invaders out of the country.

"People, our people are bleeding, our women are being ravaged, our children are being slaughtered by the enemy!"

"There's only one thing we need to do now, and that is to defeat the aggressor!"

"I suggest we immediately create the National Guard!"

"Parisians! Let us take up our weapons and defend our homeland! "

"Organize five hundred thousand National Guard! Let the government supply us with guns and ammunition and numbers! "

"Children of the France! Let us fight to the last drop of blood! Five hundred thousand … "Building an army!"

The whole city was stirred up. The words "army building" and "five hundred thousand" made everyone go crazy. It was as if they had found the key to solving all their problems, or a life-saving straw. Everyone started shouting crazily!

"Building the army! Building an army! "Building armies …"

"Five hundred thousand!" Five hundred thousand! "Five hundred thousand …"

Everyone raised their fists above their heads. Each time they shouted together, the iron fists of 500,000 people wanted to pierce the sky. Gradually, there were no other sounds in Paris. Everyone gathered together and simply shouted out the slogan to pressure them!

"Building the army! Building an army! Create a National Guard! "

"Recruitment!" Recruitment! conscription, five hundred thousand! "

This time, Empress Ou Renni could no longer stand. When the 500,000 people were no longer in a state of chaos and used their voices to pressure the government, even the emperor and general found it hard to resist.

The Queen could see with her own eyes that the glass window was shaking in the sound of the slogan. She suddenly looked at Thiers and said while clenching his teeth, "Damn it, you bunch of Chinese people are actually allied with the workers from the left side? It really is the nest of a snake and mouse! "

Thiers was not the least bit angry. He only lowered his head and said politely, "Dearest empress, at this moment, we do not have any sort of faction apart …"

"At this moment, we only have one identity … France!

"At this moment, the race is everything!"

"Hahaha …" The Queen laughed wildly, "Good, good, good. Nationality is everything?"

"What do you know? What do you know? You do not even know the current predicament of the Empire, nor do you know the difficulties of its finances, diplomacy, armaments and so on! "

"All you know is that you want to... Your greedy appetite wants everything, but there is nothing that can solve this problem! "

"We can win the war just by forming 500,000 troops? If an untrained Self Guard met the regular Prussian army, they would be courting death! "

"Die, die, you are taking life as a joke!" Even the veterans of the Empire have been defeated, do you still want the workers and peasants to serve as cannon fodder? "

Hearing the empress's scolding, Thiers was not angry at all. There's no need for you to worry about this... They are willing to be cannon fodder. What can they do? "

"Because they are patriotic …"

"You …" 's words immediately made Empress Ou Renni speechless!
