.Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Chapter 26 Kafur's long-cherished wish

|The 1960s in the 9th century was an eventful autumn. The ball of the world just opened its eyes and slept in China, which had been sleeping for more than 200 years. Whether she wanted to or not, it was naturally difficult to avoid all the reality she faced. With the domestic economy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom becoming increasingly prosperous and its national strength became increasingly strong. This lion of the East has become a huge volume that cannot be ignored in the world today.

In May 1861, Italy, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Navy, Gafur, came to Beijing while sick in order to fulfill his long-cherished wish to completely unify Italy.

Although Italy was once the core of the ancient Roman Empire, the birth of the Renaissance movement, and the cradle of the birth of European capitalism. However, since the Middle Ages, it has been in a long-term tragedy of civil strife.

Since the 16th century, Spain's Odeli and France have successively invaded and dismembered Italy.

In 1805, the Napoleon Empire forced Odeli to recognize the French occupation of Italy through the Treaty of Presburg. Just ten years later, Italy, which occupied the Napoleon Empire, returned to its separatist state. Except for the Kingdom of Sardinia, all other areas were re-controlled by Odeli Empire.

In order to strive for national independence and family unity, the Italian people experienced centuries of indomitable and heroic struggle. By the middle of the 19th century, a national liberation war that swept across Italy finally began.

In January 1841, an armed uprising broke out in the Kingdom of Sicily in southern Italy. The Sicily uprising expelled the Naples and established the government in March. The people of Milan rose to defeat the leader. Liberated Milan.

On the 23rd of the same month, the Kingdom of Sardinia declared war on the colonization of O'Ri. King Charles Albert personally led his army to Lombardy.

In April, Italian states joined the battle against Austria one after another.

However, as the main force of the Austrian army began to counterattack in June, the Sardinian army suffered consecutive defeats, and within two months, they humiliatedly signed an armistice agreement with Austrian. The Olivian Empire's rule over Lombardy and Venice was restored. However, the failure of the anti-Austrian war inspired strong indignation among the people of the whole society of Italy. The wave of the national liberation war became increasingly surging.

Just after the Kingdom of Sardinia was forced to sign an armistice agreement with Odeli, the bourgeois republics led by Mazini launched another armed uprising. On August 11 and August 23 of the same year, Venice and Tuscany successively established bourgeois republics. On November 15, a large-scale armed uprising broke out in Rome and in February of the following year, it also announced that the establishment of the Roman Kingdom, Mazini, as one of the three republics, became the actual head of the government.

Driven by the rising wave of national liberation, the Kingdom of Sardinia declared war on Austria again in March 1849. However, just over a dozen days later, because the main force of the Sardinian army was named Marshal Radsky by Count Josewintel in the Battle of Novara (the father of the Oli composer John Strauss, the father of the Olivier composer John Strauss, the immortal "March of Rads" written in 1848. It was to praise the marshal who was worshipped by the Olivier people as a great idol, and the Austrian army was defeated again.

King Cha Abbott of the Kingdom of Sardinia was forced to abdicate his son Emmanuel II ascended the throne and reconciled peace with Austria.

Soon, with the counterattack of reactionary forces in Italy, the Tuscan Republic was subverted. In the battle to defend the Roman Republic, the new republic soldiers and civilians, led by the Italian national hero Garibaldi, swore to resist and defeated the joint attacks of Lis from Franceo and the Spanish and the Kingdom of Naples. However, they were eventually outnumbered. Rome fell and the Pope's regime was restored.

In June 1858, after Mazinni and Gabaldi, he was praised by the Italian people as another Italian national liberation fighter, Gafur, the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia, made his debut.

He was elected as a member of the House of Representatives in 148 and began to enter politics. Two years later, in the fall of 1850, he was appointed Minister of Agriculture, Commerce and Transportation. Two years later, in 1852, he began to serve as Minister of Finance. In November of the same year, Caful, who officially became Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Sardinia-Pidmont, has been busy day and night for the prosperity and unity of Italy.

With a big gaze that is beyond ordinary people and at the same time, Cafur, who is also very diplomatic, deeply felt the lessons of the failure of several battles between the Sardinian Kingdom and the Oli Empire. Facing the powerful Oli Empire, the weak Sardinian Kingdom would definitely not be able to achieve the great cause of unification in Italy by relying solely on the strength of its own people.

In other words, if we want to unify the economy, the Kingdom of Sardinia should not only build railways, clear channels, build merchant fleets, develop free trade, and actively expand armaments, increase the number of troops, equip new weapons, reduce and limit the rights of the church, and return the church's property to the country.

In addition, drastic reforms should be carried out on internal affairs to enhance the position of King Sardinia among the Italian states, and to strive for powerful foreign aid.

To this end, with the active efforts of Cafur, the Kingdom of Sardinia signed trade agreements with other countries. The positive way of reducing tariffs not only promoted the rapid growth of its own foreign trade volume, but also strengthened the friendship between the Kingdom of Sardinia and Britain and France.

Not only that, for the favor of the two European powers of Britain and France, Britain and France, when the Russian-Turkey War broke out in Crimea, prompting Britain and France to dispatch allied forces to declare war on Russia, Caful also rushed to send troops to help Russia, and publicly declared war on Russia. He devoted himself to a war that seemed to have nothing to do with him, but was exhausted and damaged. Despite all the various good actions taken by Caful, he still could still provide any substantial assistance to the British for the great cause of unification of the Sardinian Kingdom. But after all, the British remained neutral in the anti-Austrian war in the Kingdom of Sardinia to express their deep sympathy and understanding of the great cause of unification of Italy.

What is particularly important is that Cafur's series of political layouts, large and small, has made the great cause of national liberation and unity that the Kingdom of Sardinia is about to embark on. It not only has the general sympathy of European countries in public opinion, but also has the strong support of the French Empire. Just as Cafur needed, the exchanges and friendship between France and the Saints have also become closer and deeper.

In this way, Gafurra and the tough French Empire were finally achieved.

Perhaps it was because His Majesty Napoleon III was obsessed with the experience of joining the "Carbon Burning Party" in Italy when he was young. Therefore, he really believed that "France and Italy are comrades-in-arms who strive for noble cause." Or perhaps it was because the emperor|| was too fond of the two lands of Nice and Savoy. Therefore, he decisively adopted the action to support Italy||complete the great cause of unification.

In July 1858, Cafu got his wish and met with His Majesty Napoleon III of the French Empire in Prombier, France, and reached a "gentleman's agreement". Napoleon III said that as long as a war broke out between the Kingdom of Sardinia and Odeli, the French Empire would definitely help. Of course, he was generous to His Majesty France. Cafure could not thank him just by talking to him. He promised the rewards of His Majesty France on behalf of the Kingdom of Sardinia, the Kingdom of Sardinia, and Savoy to France.

Cafur is definitely not the kind of person who is willing to sell his family's interests. But for the best interests of Italy, he doesn't grit his teeth and endures the pain.

In January 1859, Caful signed a secret treaty with Napoleon III, the emperor of the França Empire. The treaty stipulated in black and white. The French Empire had the responsibility and obligation to help the Kingdom of Sardinia defeat O'sili, completely expelled O's forces from Lombardy and Venice, and established a complete King of Northern Italy. The treaty also stipulated that in return for the great god who was willing to slaughter his friends, the Kingdom of Sardinia would rather ced Savoy and Nice to the beloved and respected great Emperor France.

The Sah-Anti-Austrian alliance was officially announced.

Then, Cafur once again used his excellent diplomatic methods and superb skills. He induced Odeli to declare war on the Kingdom of Sardinia-Pidmond on April 26 of that year. Three days later, he dispatched 170,000 troops across the Ticino River and invaded the Kingdom of Sardinia, thus forcing France to draw his sword and get on the chariot of the common anti-Japanese war driven by him.

According to the secret treaty signed by Caful and Naren III, Sardinia and France jointly declared war on Oli. After two months of desperate battles, Oli's Levitra's coalition was expelled from Lombardy.

The war against Austria by the Sa coalition forces greatly promoted and inspired the national liberation movement throughout Italy. The people's uprising storm once again swept across the northern and central Italy. In the two months when the Farzian coalition forces fought with Austria, armed uprisings broke out in states such as Palma de Madna and the Pope. A monarch's regime was overthrown one after another. The volunteer army led by Garibaldi launched a large-scale guerrilla war behind Austria, looking for opportunities to attack Austria's invading army.

Facing the fierce flames of national liberation in Italy, Napoleon III was shocked and began to be scared again. He had sincerely wanted to help his Italian brothers get liberated from the clutches of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the brink of the
