Les Miserables 维克多·雨果 1117Words 2018-03-21
There is a very respectable liberal who doesn't hate Waterloo at all.We are not of that school.We think of Waterloo as a day of amazement and amazement for liberty.It was indeed unexpected that such an eagle would come from such an egg. If we look at the matter from the highest point, we can see that Waterloo was a planned victory of counter-revolution.It was Europe against France, Petersburg, Berlin, and Vienna against Paris, the status quo against creation, the blow of March 20, 1815, to July 14, 1789, the bloc of kingdoms against France The subversion of the untamed movement.In short, their dream is to extinguish this powerful nation that has exploded for twenty-six years.It was an alliance of Brunswick, Nassau, Romanov, Hohenzollern, Habsburg and Bourbon.Waterloo is the ghost of theocracy.Indeed, since the empire was despotism, the kingdom must, by the natural course of things, be free, and an unsatisfactory constitution arose from Waterloo, much to the dismay of the conquerors.That’s because the revolutionary forces cannot be truly defeated. It’s the law of nature. There is no exception. The revolutionary forces will rise sooner or later. Before Waterloo, Napoleon overthrew the decaying dynasties of various countries. Louis XVIII.Bonaparte installed a royal on the throne of Naples and a sergeant on the throne of Sweden, embodying equality in inequality; Louis XVIII countersigned the Declaration of the Rights of Man in Saint-Ouen.Do you want to know what a revolution is?To call it progress is; you want to understand what progress is?Call it tomorrow.Tomorrow goes ahead and does its work, and it starts today.And strangely enough, it never fails to serve its purpose.Foix was a soldier, but it borrowed Wellington's hand to make him an orator.Foix stumbled at Hougoumont, only to hold his head up on the pulpit.That's how progress works.Any tool, in the hands of that worker, will never fail to work.It doesn't feel embarrassed, and grabs the man across the Alps and the old sick man in the palace wall, and does the sacred work for it.It uses the gouty man as much as the conqueror, using the conqueror outwardly, and the gouty man internally.Waterloo was of no avail except that while it categorically prevented the destruction of the throne by force, it continued its revolutionary work on the other hand.The work of the swordsman ends, and the work of the thinker begins.Waterloo wanted to stop the progress of the times, but the times passed over it and continued on its way.That ugly triumph has been conquered by liberty.

In short, it is undeniable that he who won at Waterloo, who smiled behind Wellington's back, sent to him the generalissimo scepter of all Europe, including, it is said, the French generalissimo, He who joyously pushed those earthen wagons full of dead bones to pile up the lion's pier, who proudly carved the date of June 18, 1815 on that foundation stone, who encouraged Blücher to take advantage of the fire. Yes, those who chased France down like hawks from Mount St. John, these were counter-revolutionaries.These are counter-revolutionaries plotting shameless scatter.When they arrived in Paris and inspected the crater closely, they felt that the ashes were burning their feet, so they changed their minds and returned to haggling about the charter.We can only see what there is in Waterloo.Conscious freedom, not at all.It is only by accident that the counter-revolutionary became a liberal and Napoleon a revolutionary.On June 18, 1815, Robespierre fell from his horse.
