Hidden Dragon in Qing Dynasty

5: 12 AM, the temporary committee of 26 people was finally established. Very quickly, the huge name list was posted on the Roman pillar of Bourbon's palace, all the citizens present were whispering to each other.

The result was disappointing, because there was only one representative representing the left wing, and that was Luo Shenfuer who had just come out of prison.

The workers found it hard to accept this outcome, and they began to discuss the growing discontent in the crowd.

"Why don't any of the councilors I'm familiar with come on stage?"

"Why does Luo Shenfuer not have any actual duties? "Just why is …"

Amongst the people, there were workers and naturally there were people with other identities. Many small capitalists immediately booed, "How could Luo Shenfuer serve in this position? He has been imprisoned for two years, and he has no idea about the current situation in the empire! "

"That's right …" Why do you have to go up on stage with a member you know? "I think that's good. I know most of the people up there …"

Different classes naturally had different positions, and very soon, there were a lot of noise coming from outside Bourbon's palace, but maybe the conflict that caused people to be extremely tired from staying up all night was just a dispute, there were no serious violent conflicts.

When the situation was at its most tense, General Trochu's reinforcements arrived with another 3000 people. They started to separate the two sides who were arguing with each other, as countless French Army Commanders struggled to shout out from the crowd.

"The council is still discussing. Why are you arguing before the meeting is over?"

"Quiet, quiet down …" Didn't you hear that all the Prussian vanguard unit s had fought their way to the Orleans? It's difficult to be in charge of a nation, so you all should be a little aware of it, right? "

"Push them away, push them away …"

Countless soldiers separated from the crowd and did their best to maintain order outside the Bourbon's palace.

The outside of the council was in chaos, and it was not going to be any better. The entire night was filled with hardships. Many old councilors could not take it anymore and they sat on their chairs and kowtowed as if their heads were about to fall asleep.

On the stage, Trochu was so tired and angry that golden stars appeared in front of his eyes. However, Blanqui and the other onlookers still didn't show any signs of stopping.

A group of staff separated Blanqui and the 100 plus people from the remaining representatives, but Blanqui did not care much about him standing there quietly and protesting against the injustice of the council.

One of the soldiers ran to General Trochu's side and whispered to him. "The situation outside is extremely chaotic, the workers gathering more and more.

With a bang, Trochu smashed his fist on the table and roared loudly, "French Emperor has already collapsed! Is it now time for the council? "

"Is it up to the people to demonstrate that the election is a failure? Very good, very good indeed! This is your attitude. I can let you perform, let you perform in front of the entire French people, and even let you perform in front of Europe! "

"If you do not occupy a majority of seats in the council, that is your problem. Others will not care about your mistakes!"

"Send troops, let the Libyan brigade stationed in the south of the city enter the city! Whoever dares to cause trouble will be immediately suppressed … For a country to fall, let's see who dares to become its public enemy! "

had never thought of this matter in his life. Today, he had obtained it, and he had already become the first person in France, so he definitely could not lose the power that he had with so much difficulty.

If you, Blanqui, dare to flip the table, then I dare to kill!

The smell of gunpowder in Bourbon's palace immediately became stronger, even the members who were dozing off were woken up from their daze and asked in confusion, "What, what happened? "Is breakfast ready …"

Just at the most critical moment, Thiers stepped forward. "Everyone be quiet, please be quiet... I must remind you that the Prussian army of Sedan is rushing towards Paris at full speed.

"Fifteen minutes ago... "The last telegram came from the Dolman police station. They encountered over a thousand Chinese cavalry soldiers. They were very fast and never engaged in a war with the local garrison. Their target was Paris …"

"If nothing unexpected happens, this group of vanguard unit will probably come into contact with our Paris garrison unit s tonight … Don't we have a government when we start a war with the Chinese? "

"You want to embarrass yourself in Asia?"

Everyone started to criticize Blanqui and the others. They did not care about the general situation, especially Thiers who had just given up on the position of a high-ranking official in the group of 26, and was now qualified to criticize others.

The situation was already dire, and Luo Shenfuer knew that they wouldn't have any victory today. If they continued to persevere on, and a violent conflict were to occur, wouldn't the left wing have all the blame for the dirty water by then.

Luo Shenfuer stood out and said, "Please be quiet, everyone be quiet. Mr. Blanqui contests the decision of the council, although it violates the law … "

"But... But please remember, during this war, we must unite all forces that can be united. The workers' organization already has over 300,000 Self-Defence Force s, wouldn't they be able to resist the external enemies? "

"Since the situation is urgent, there should at least be a right to speak for these three hundred thousand Self-Defence Force!"

This single sentence stunned everyone present. Even if three hundred thousand National Guard s were a thorn that could not be avoided, even General Trochu could not ignore them.

Luo Shenfuer walked in front of Blanqui and whispered, "It's enough to fight for a little advantage. But now, if we want to change the council, we don't have that much strength!"

Blanqui nodded his head as he walked to the front of the stage with his chest puffed up and said, "I respect the rules of the council, and I also respect the votes of all the representatives!"

"However, I must remind everyone that the reason why my Comrades and I did not stand with you in the council was only because we were treated unfairly by the French Emperor!"

"We were even denied the right to participate in the elections, but that doesn't mean we don't have supporters. On the contrary, we have the support of millions of working class behind us!"

"The voices of millions of working class s must have channels to transmit to the entire nation, to the authorities!"

"Their power cannot be ignored! Furthermore, it's not something that can be humiliated! "

Blanqui coldly looked at the representatives present, his expression was solemn for exactly three minutes, and he alone suppressed everyone present.

"My first proposal is to give treatment to the National Guard's regular army … For the three hundred thousand National Guard, the new government must recognize their status as soldiers! "

"All treatment must be equal to that of the regular army!"

"To improve the treatment of the soldiers of the National Guard, it must be increased by two francs a day …"

"All pawns of the poverty-stricken citizens of Paris, which are less than thirty francs, must be returned to the people free of charge …"

"No landlord can expel a tenant. If the rent cannot be increased, the price must be reduced by 30% within a month..."

One by one, very concrete proposals were tossed out, shocking all of the councilors present to the point that they were all dumbfounded.
