Solovyov in Tsarist Russia 1796
Chapter 257 024 The Not-So-Successful Irish Uprising
Paris has always been well-informed, and has now received the latest news from Ireland.
The Irish rebels against Britain launched an uprising in Dublin in May 1803, but only a few hundred people participated in the action and it eventually failed.
The cause was the sudden explosion of the British arsenal on Patrick Street. When the war between Britain and France just started, some Irish Protestants and armed militias had already begun to act.
This action was obviously not well-planned and rigorous, and was doomed to fail.
Now the news has reached Paris, which is the final trial result. Robert Emmet, one of the leaders and organizers of the uprising, was arrested and sentenced to treason in court. He was first hanged and then beheaded.
In this case of conclusive evidence, the British actually bribed Emmet's defense lawyer Leonard McNally. If the Chief Justice of Ireland, Viscount Kilvarden, was still alive, he would definitely cry to death. After all, after he was seriously injured by the rebels, he said when he was dying that the trial must be fair.
As for this viscount, because of his professional relationship, he has always acted as a centrist. He has also reported the "crimes" of the rebels in the past uprisings in Ireland. However, many of them were eventually sentenced to exile or deportation, and some even went to Australia. Although this man is not a friendly army, but a lackey of the British, there is no benefit in killing him, and he has also killed many arrested rebel leaders.
At the same time, William Wickham, the chief secretary of Ireland, felt that his cabinet was not fair enough. He would resign at the end of the year and leave. Even if someone asked him to take a position in the Ministry of Finance in the future, he would not go back. In fact, he withdrew from politics.
In the UK, there are still some metaphysics of matching mechanisms.
"Seeing this, I don't know what to say? Now to carry out an armed uprising, it must be fully organized, not just relying on courage."
Soloviev met Bolivar and Del Toro again in the cafe. While drinking coffee, they also discussed what happened.
"Ah, Russian, you seem to be saying this to us."
"Although I'm saying this to you, there is one thing. The Irish want independence from Britain, but they don't want to be vassals of other countries. Sometimes, they want too much, and Ireland. In the British context, I'm afraid Ireland won't play any role."
"Your statement may make the Irish dissatisfied. For example, General O'Connor came from Ireland and has always sought independence for Ireland from the British."
"But their armed struggle is not well organized. And there is a more troublesome problem, that is, Ireland is too close to Britain, and they can't imitate the Americans. You are even farther away from Spain."
After hearing this, Del Toro also laughed.
"It's a pity that you are a Russian, otherwise we should invite you to be a consultant."
"Fernando, but my idea may not be friendly to the big landowners. You and Simon are both from manor owners, especially you, your father and elder brother are marquises overseas."
However, for the independence of the colonies, at least it is a loosening, Fernando's elder brother, as a marquis, will also betray the jellyfish king of Madrid.
Especially after the queen began to use Godoy again, Bolivar was unreasonably humiliated because he belonged to the faction of the queen's former favorite, and his turn was also very obvious.
This is the fatuous Spanish royal family and the incompetent government, which pushed the nobles who were originally loyal to Madrid to the opposite side.
"Then what are you going to do?"
"You can't do this in Russia, but I can give you a hint."
After all, in Europe and the United States, some people with some culture are probably very refined per capita.
"What are you going to do, Miguel?"
"Simon, do you know the Gracchus?"
"Ah, needless to say, I still know what Tiberius Gracchus and his brother Gaius Gracchus did. But this distribution is indeed a good idea." Bolivar not only knew about the reforms of the Gracchus brothers, he also planned to travel to Rome, just like Solovyov before.
"Simon, but it's a bit dangerous. If I go back to persuade my eldest brother, he may give part of the land to the peasants, but if it's someone else, it's fatal."
"Thank you, Fernando, your words have proved our friendship and your loyalty to our cause."
It's just that Bolivar has not made up his mind yet. Doing this in France sent many nobles to the guillotine, and some even killed their entire families.
It's indeed difficult to do this in America. There will be a caudillo politics of large landowners in the future. In the end, Bolivar and San Martin had a hard time, which had something to do with these people. There were a few large landowners who had always supported his cause, which was good.
"Then we need to develop a base and have well-trained armed forces. But you still need to wait for the right time. I don't know how the French expedition to Saint-Domingue is going now."
"France will strictly block these news, but you should know more about the late General Leclerc, his widow, than we do."
"Hehe, we also know something."
Men always have something in common when talking about beauties. Even though Bolivar swore not to marry again because of his wife's early death, he still had a mistress and a lover when he was in Paris.
"I recently moved back to the apartment on Montmartre Street. The lady has remarried and married Prince Borghese of Rome."
"Let's not talk about this for now. The expedition to Saint-Domingue should not be smooth, otherwise there would be news by now."
"But that Dessalines, even if he can defeat the expeditionary force, whether he can establish a stable regime is also a question. He may even have to imitate the French system and do what the French do."
However, the Caribbean islands are indeed a direction. After Bolivar failed in his business, he often hid on the Caribbean islands. Even before his death, he would consider going to Jamaica.
After the founding of Haiti, they were indeed the first to practice fan behavior. Even the news of Napoleon's vote had just reached Port-au-Prince, and Dessalines proclaimed himself emperor. This speed is indeed unmatched by others.
But the failure of the Saint-Domingue expedition not only led to Haiti's independence, but was also a transit point for the Latin American revolutionary movement.
Solovyov could not say much, and the rest was left for Bolivar and his men to consider.
France and Spain were both ruled by the Bourbon in the past, and after the independence of the colonies, many royalists in Latin America would leave the independent colonies and go to the many islands in the Caribbean, which eventually led to the strong royalist forces in Cuba. It was not until the Americans came that this place was separated from the Spanish colonies.
The property and land they left behind can be used for distribution.
In addition, the territorial division of North America has attracted more attention. At present, the US Congress has not officially approved the purchase of Louisiana, but the number of times the United States picked up leaks in the early days of its founding was too many.
All of a sudden, their territory crossed the Mississippi River and came to the Rocky Mountains.
In this way, there is not much land to be divided in North America. The Spanish colonists have an unreliable grasp on their northern colonies, and Russia only controls individual fortresses in Alaska and the west coast. The remaining plots of land seem to be in the hands of the Americans.
It doesn't matter if they fall into their hands, but the indigenous people of North America will be in trouble. Moreover, the potential of the United States is there. If their power is too strong, it will have a major impact on the international situation in the future.
However, it seems that the emergence of the United States in North America is relatively convenient to contain the British.
If they are to be contained in the future, they should not be allowed to cross the Rocky Mountains too easily, and at the same time, the Russian colonists should have good relations with the indigenous people of North America.
At this time, the Russians' actions are always very strange. They are very oppressive to the Aleuts who have long surrendered, but they are more friendly to the locals near Fort Ross, but the indigenous people near several transit stations are still fighting with them.
Just on the way to Paris from Solovyov, the Russian American Company was defeated by the local indigenous people once.
And his subordinate Fyodor Tolstoy in the Guards has also embarked on a journey around the world, but his troublemaking nature, even though he was born with the title of count and came from the Tolstoy family, there will always be many stories.
"Miguel, what do you think of France selling Louisiana to the United States?"
"It's hard for me to say. If the world is divided now, it is obvious that the land with better conditions has been divided up. In the future, someone will definitely say that we got less when the world was divided, or we didn't catch up with the division of the world."
"It will definitely be like this, Fernando, what do you think?"
"I don't care, but the British have always coveted our land."
"They have gotten enough, I think some countries don't have this opportunity. If it is the monarch's request, it means war. If someone just says a few words on the streets, it will be a joke, but there are inflammatory ambitions, but it is still quite dangerous."
"You say that, is it because Russia is big enough?"
"No, any country has its limits on the projection of power. In their control is not When you are so strong, challengers will appear, which often means war. There are also the British who take the initiative for their own interests. Their way of dealing with France and Spain is just in their own interests. This is very clear. "
"It is indeed easier to talk to smart people. Thank you, Miguel, you have given us a lot of inspiration."
"I wish you success, but in the future, whether you choose to establish a republic or invite a king to establish a constitutional monarchy, it still depends on your own choice. If it is a country like France that has been under autocratic rule for a long time, if they establish a republic, they may still be strong. But if it is Britain or the United States, their government..."
It sounds bad, but it is also true. If he has the opportunity to go to Britain now, it may be more fun.
After all, he is very familiar with the British. These Western European countries are like Frederick satirizing his cousin. While talking about morality, they want to take away their share.
As for the extra part, when the British are not human, they can move everything that belongs to you and leave you there to fend for yourself.
This is not as good as the European countries. It might be more comfortable to kill them directly. There is a difference between pirates and robbers.
"But things depend on human efforts, Miguel."
"Yes, even if it is our emperor, his starting point is good, it is difficult to change everything. Simon, and Fernando, you will face the same problem when you return to Caracas."
After all, Russia's serfdom has been strengthened to the point where it can be said that it is difficult to reverse the situation in the past few decades.
Sometimes people always have to succumb to reality. Even the Tsar himself cannot change everything. It is not easy to be an autocratic monarch or a vase monarch. The former needs to make political judgments, and the latter has to deal with the puppies from all sides and the troublesome court life.
If anyone wants to be a king, his neck must first be able to bear the weight of the crown.
Then, he must have the corresponding skills, not just wanting to be a king. Some people may not even be able to leave the novice village and have to be dealt with.
Solovyov thought of some "local emperors" who could be directly eliminated by the police and the people. That scene was very funny.
In Europe, someone pretended to be Peter III in Montenegro and established his own territory.
"As for the support you need, I think you should absorb all possible support, but you also need to see clearly what they need."
"If you look at it in this regard, the British are not very trustworthy. General Miranda wants to recruit volunteers in the United States."
"Simon, we may have to observe for a while, and don't rush back to Caracas now. We still have to go to Rome."
"To the mountain where civilians pursue equal rights? I think the current monarchy will not compromise with civilians who moved away from Rome like the ancient republic did, and that was in the early days of the Roman Republic. When it came to the era of the Gracchi brothers and the three giants, there was no such good thing. Maybe there will be rivers of blood again. We have seen it more than once, whether in books or in reality."
If you want to see rivers of blood, you can also experience it in reality. This is wonderful.
