C3179 Strict protection against death (2/2)
In the secret letter that Xiao Letian sent to Big Beard London, he said very clearly: ”The Paris Commune is bound to fail, because they don't have a mass base at all. It seems that millions of working class are very strong, but compared to the entire country's population, this is way too little!”
Especially the farmers who made up the majority of the population, who would they believe in? the squire, the little nobleman, the little capitalist with the usury... These people were the closest to them, and they were also the most knowledgeable people they could contact.
Every peasant's life was closely related to these people, and their economic network was controlled by these people. In short, most of the money the farmers earned depended on these people.
This group of people with influence at the grassroots level would choose whoever they wanted, and the farmers would choose who as well!
It was obvious that these countryside gentry, small nobles, small capitalists and the local minor official s would not choose your commune. They would only choose the democratically elected government of France and believe in the choice of bigger nobles, bigger capitalists, and more landlords!
Why didn't you get the full assistance of the Paris Commune for Christmas? Because you have failed to win the hearts and minds of the peasants, the rich and evil gentry of these towns and villages have taken complete control of the peasant class.
Such a cruel reality, yet the higher ups of the commune had completely ignored it. They had fallen into a mass frenzy and mistakenly believed themselves to be so powerful in the revolution of millions of people!
Xiao Letian's warning was sent to London, and then, the bearded man used their own secret channels to deliver this worried message to Blanqui.
At first, Blanqui and the higher ups of the commune looked at it with disdain, but everything that happened afterwards proved how correct the warning was.
Until today, when Blanqui saw with his own eyes how the base forces of the entire French province surrounded and intercepted him.
Did those peasants have enmity with him? They did not even know what you, Blanqui, are. They only knew that a war had occurred, but these farmers did not even know what had happened in the war.
The working class of Paris was burning with blood for freedom and justice, but these farmers were chasing him down for bread and sausages.
Blanqui believed that as long as those rich rich kids gave the order, these foolish farmers would smash themselves to death with their hoes for the sake of a few dozen francs.
”Damn it!” This is the France, this is my homeland … It's been so long since the Revolution, so why don't they know how to fight for their rights! ”
”We no longer have a way around it. I'm afraid the whole of Loire Province is stuck like this... What about the guide? ”Find me the least route to the village...”
”We can only forcefully break through. Everyone, prepare for battle!”
This time, Blanqui brought out 6 civilians, as well as 15 veteran warriors with rich battle experience. They held an emergency meeting in the forest, letting the guide to look for the easiest way out from the map.
The rest of the team simply divided some dried meat and water, filled their pistols with bullets, and polished their sharp sabers. The entire team was filled with a murderous spirit!
The first rays of dawn were scattered across the grape fields, where withered leaves hung from dried vines. The farmers by the side of the road were drinking hot oatmeal, which smelled of meat they hadn't seen in a long time.
At this moment, at the bend of the small road, four large horses appeared. Several soldiers wearing traditional Imperial military uniforms appeared in front of everyone.
