the end of Trienio was split between a "radical" sector linked to the newspaper "Zurriago" and that of the "constitutional comuneros", of which Torrijos was a part. When the royalist uprisings took place, Torrijos participated in the war against the royalist parties in Navarre and in Catalonia – where he was the lieutenant of General Espoz and Mina -, which earned him the promotion to Field Marshall by order of the "exalted" government of Evaristo San Miguel.
