Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

C2935 Left Helplessness

The parliamentary system is the effective control over the centralized power of mankind. Since the beginning of the design, people have tried everything to divide the power, so there are many complex procedures in the parliament to ensure that no one will completely control the parliamentary system.

Although human nature was complex and forming alliances was hard to avoid, in the modern parliamentary system, it was extremely difficult to form alliances.

If a certain power in the French National Assembly wanted to take the lead, it would require a lot of parliamentary elections to be conducted slowly and painstakingly. It was definitely not something that could be done overnight.

Now, Blanqui had encountered such a problem. He and the left faction's power that he represented had been suppressed by the French Emperor for far too long.

These people were merely close to the working class in terms of emotions and thoughts. Some of them were even just feeling sympathetic!

Real, hot-blooded revolutionaries didn't even have the right to run. If he was wanted for the rest of his life, how could he even dare to return to France?

In the end, the parliament was filled with capitalist spokesmen. Looking at the number of enemies, there were only a few of them.

It was obvious that Thiers had taken a liking to his weak point, which was why he chose to step back to control the Assembly. Even his temporary retreat could increase the number of people present by quite a bit, even if he were to blame tomorrow, it would be difficult.

If Thiers really had established an image of himself as someone who did not care about fame and fortune, then it would be really hard to deal with him!

None of the councilors who were close to the left had more than fifty members. This kind of power was too weak in the council. What was even worse was that the left side lacked famous senators.

Only one Luo Shenfuer had ever been a Senator before, but he couldn't recommend himself either. Therefore, when he had competed for the position of Minister of the Interior with Gan Bida, he could only recommend a member that didn't have a high reputation.

The result was obviously failure, and Thiers took this chance to quickly propose that Gan Bida be responsible for the internal affairs of the France. This time, Blanqui and the others could not stop him.

Sure enough, after the proposal was put to the vote, nearly 70% of the members voted in favour.

No matter what the outcome was, Blanqui was very clear that Gan Bida's election was reasonable. A person relying on his own strength could pull a hundred thousand new troops from the south;

Letting him coordinate the internal affairs of the country was a good choice. He had been too impatient just now and had jumped out to oppose it. Now, another enemy had appeared.

Blanqui looked at Gan Bida and realised that he did not have any expression on his face. There was neither joy nor sadness.

As such, the capitalist power's plan had been completely exposed. Thiers was the one leading the group, and had calculated everything thoroughly, wanting to let the capitalist power completely control the new government.

All of Blanqui's efforts were for naught in the end!

Thiers took a few steps back and returned to his seat. He could already let go of his hands and let the other members of Parliament attack him, since there were people who despised him saying too much, then he might as well speak less.

Thiers did not speak anymore, and immediately, his fan spoke out, and soon after, the Finance Minister, the Tax Minister, and the Education Minister spoke out. All kinds of positions of power were recommended.

Of the twenty-six people on the interim committee, it was impossible to have all the people in power, and the country didn't have that many positions to offer. The key jobs were money, military, foreign affairs, education … But none of these things could be taken from Blanqui's group.

The people on the left immediately rejected any proposal, while the people on the other side were left booing and swearing … But what can you do? The rules of the council is like this, they didn't say that Blanqui will hold a national election alone, right?

Even if they wanted to hold a national election, they didn't have the qualifications to do so! So if you want to be reasonable and legal, then you have to accept your fate. All the resolutions proposed by the council today, you, Blanqui, have to accept them!

The battle had already reached its most critical moment, and Blanqui could no longer tolerate it. He whispered to his subordinate for a bit, and then, the subordinate quickly ran out of the Debate Hall.

The working class who supported him at the most crucial moment was the most reliable. Not long later, waves of tide-like singing sounded out from outside the Bourbon's palace, it was the singing of tens of thousands of citizens singing the Marseille's melody.

Originally, the order in Bourbon's palace was very good tonight. The citizens came here to bear witness to history, not to cause trouble!

Therefore, when they were discussing inside, the people outside were just waiting quietly, not speaking loudly at all!

But when they learned that the parliament had completely isolated the left, the indignant masses began to fall into disarray. They got up from the ground and began to sing to demonstrate to the council.

"What is it? What do you want... Silence, silence! "

The faces of the guards all changed. They formed a human wall behind the Roman portico. They were really afraid that these lunatics would suddenly rush in!

The guards on the Bourbon's palace only numbered more than a thousand, but the citizens on the scene were already approaching thirty thousand, if these people were to go crazy, they would not be able to control them.

When the Marseille's twisted roars reached the council, General Trochu's face was already livid with anger, he knew that this was a demonstration by Blanqui and the rest. More than a hundred Workers' representative stood up and all of them glared at them.

There was only one sentence in everyone's eyes: "What you do cannot fool the workers of the law!" "On the surface, you seem to have legitimate procedures, but you've harmed all the working class in France! '

'Legally but unwillingly! 'Such an outcome is bound to result in huge conflicts! '

Thiers also felt that this matter was a little overdone. If the 26 members of the left faction did not accept a single council member, these workers would definitely cause trouble later on.

General Trochu pounded on the table and shouted, Rest for fifteen minutes, rest for another fifteen minutes … We have to identify the basic candidates for the new government before dawn... "

This scene would eventually be recorded in the history books. Over thirty thousand citizens outside the Bourbon's palace were singing the song, and they were exerting a lot of pressure on the council.

Within the Debate Hall, more than a hundred Workers' representative were standing at the very end of the gallery. Each and every one of them had extremely standard military assets and they used their actions to express their silent protest.

The atmosphere was getting tense, and the councilors had no time to drink coffee during the break. They were all gathered together for a discussion, their eyes bloodshot.

After the break, Gan Bida took the initiative to suggest that enter the 26 member temporary committee!

This time, no one dared to vote against it, all of the members present voted for him, and Luo Shenfuer became the last person to enter the committee!
