Fox of France

　　 After the Bastille was conquered, there were rumors in Paris that the king was angry and that he would mobilize his army to suppress the people of Paris. It is said that the enraged king ordered that in the city of Paris, “the tree must be over fire, the stone must be over the knife, and the man must change the plant." So the whole Paris became tense, and the streets were full of people building barricades. Some people even demolished houses in fear (Of course, most of the time, they were demolished houses of those "tyrant's running dogs", and the number of "tyrant's running dogs" depends on how much materials are needed to build the barricade. ) To build a barricade.

　　 Almost overnight, all the carriage drivers in Paris were unemployed because there were barricades and barricades on all the streets. Some inexperienced guys didn't even consider leaving a passageway when they were building roadblocks and barricades.

　　 In order to resist a possible attack, all the militias in Paris felt that they should unite and fight under the same banner. So the representatives of the militiamen from various blocks gathered together to discuss matters of unified command.

　　 The militias in every block sincerely hope to unite. This is actually the instinct of human beings as social animals when they are facing a crisis. However, to unite, you need a command organization and a commander. But the militiamen immediately discovered that it was difficult for them to find such a person.

　　Because most militiamen do not know each other, and most militiamen also know that they lack military skills. The situation of the siege of the Bastille made them realize how far they are from the regular army. Although each of them didn't pay attention to the kingdom's army in the Montmartre Heights area, everyone was trembling with fright in their hearts. Some people dream of the guillotine or the gallows when they dream.

Under such circumstances, a "good nobleman" who did not participate in this meeting at all but was considered "righteous, kind, loving the people and proficient in the military" was elected by most representatives as the head of this unified militia. commander. This "good nobleman" is naturally the Marquis of Lafayette.

　　 It is said that in the meeting, someone mentioned the name of another "good nobleman"-the Duke of Orleans. However, other representatives said that His Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans is indeed a good nobleman with "righteousness, kindness and love for the people", and compared with the Marquis of Lafayette, he has the advantage of being "more generous" (because of Orleans) The Duke is much richer than the Marquis of Lafayette) but the Duke of Orleans has no military knowledge. If you let him direct, it will hurt everyone.

　　Some representatives even said that during the siege of the Bastille, the sacrifices caused by His Royal Highness the Duke of Orleans were even more sacrificed than the tyrant’s guns.

　　 "In short, the Duke of Orleans is a good and trustworthy man. But military command is not what he can do." This sentence became a general consensus.

　　 After the election of the Marquis of Lafayette, everyone sent people to invite the Marquis of Lafayette to take office. This is a bit like after a certain uprising in the east of the East, the leader of the rebel army pushed Li Bodhisattva, who had not participated in the uprising, to the position of the governor. It’s just that the representatives of the Paris militia did not break into the house of the Marquis de Lafayette with guns. They just went to the door of Lafayette and asked to pass the invitation letter in; and the Marquis de Lafayette, also Instead of hiding under the bed like Li Bodhisattva and shouting "Don't harm me, don't harm me", but generously accepted the invitation and served as the commander-in-chief of the Paris militia.

　　As soon as the Marquis of Lafayette took office, he immediately began to rectify the militia in Paris. He first planned to reorganize all the militia in Paris into the National Guard.

To this end, he immediately took out a uniform designed for the National Self-Defense Army-a military uniform with blue pants. He also took out the National Self-Defense Army's badge and flag-all of them are made of red, white and blue. composition. Among them, red and blue are the colors of the emblem of the city of Paris, while white is the representative color of the Bourbon dynasty.

　　 Such badges and flags clearly show the political inclination of the Marquis of Lafayette, who is a constitutional monarchy. But let's be honest, don't look at the civilians in Paris at this time a "tyrant" or something. However, at this time, they actually agree very much with such flags and badges.

The trousers in Paris never thought that they could overthrow the king. After they lay down the Bastille, they were actually very afraid of the king’s possible punishment. They also agreed that the Marquis de Lafayette became commander-in-chief, and one of them was The reason is that they think the Marquis of Lafayette can help them speak before the king.

　　 In the eyes of those without trousers, the Marquis of Lafayette is definitely the most suitable for this. Even, he is the only person who is suitable to do this. Because the other of the two great nobles (the Duke of Orleans) who was obviously inclined to revolution was obviously strained with the king. (The Duke of Orleans has always been committed to discrediting the king, and of course he has to establish an image of himself that is incompatible with the tyrant, so when people need someone who can communicate with the king, no one will think of him.)

　　The Marquis of Lafayette successfully took advantage of their psychology. He assured them that he would, and he could defend everyone, as long as everyone could support his leadership.

　　 The carnage that people feared did not happen, and the king's army did not launch an attack on Paris. In fact, the king didn't believe in the army at all, and everyone around him was trying to tell him that the army was not reliable.

　　 For constitutionalists like the Marquis of Lafayette, only by convincing the king that the army is only loyal to the country, not to the king, can the king be forced to accept the constitutional monarchy. For those conservative aristocrats, such as the Earl of Artois, the national standing army is not a good thing. What standing army does the country need? Shouldn't the army belong to the private individuals of the nobles, shouldn't the king be called up when necessary? And in order to oppose the political enemy Marquis Lafayette, they also vigorously vilified the French army.

　　 Speaking of it, at least on the issue of "unreliable military", conservatives and constitutionalists have rarely reached agreement. And King Louis XVI was originally a somewhat indecisive man, everyone said that, he naturally believed. So the king never thought about washing Paris with the army at this time, even when the "mobs" smashed the Bastille, and the Count Artois said that the army actually participated in the rebellion. At that time, the king was so frightened that he almost planned to flee to another province. In fact, just as the citizens of Paris were full of fear of the king, the king was also full of fear of the mob of Paris.

　　 But all these, the civilians in Paris didn't know. In their view, the legendary massacre did not happen, and this must be due to the Marquis of Lafayette. Radical people think that this is because the National Revolutionary Army he organized made the king retreat. The more moderate people think that this is because Lord Marquis served as a bridge between the citizens and the king.

　　The Marquis of Lafayette indeed served as the bridge. A few days later, he brought a group of National Guards to Versailles to meet with King Louis XVI. It is said that the monarch and his subjects had a very happy conversation, and Louis XVI also put the cap badge of the National Revolutionary Army brought by the Marquis Lafayette on his hat.

　　 Things have progressed here, and the Marquis of Lafayette seems to have won a big victory. An English-style, constitutional monarchy France seems to be within reach.

　　The situation seems to have calmed down. It is said that the Marquis of Lafayette is busy drafting a very historic declaration with reference to the "North American Declaration of Independence" and establishing a system of parliamentary and administrative institutions with reference to the United Kingdom and North America.

　　 Although the situation has eased, UU read www.uukanshu.com, but the Paris Military Academy has not returned to normal. So Joseph was able to stay at home and watch the theater.

　　 "If the revolution can end here, it might be a good thing for France." Joseph looked out from the window. On the street outside, a group of National Guards were busy removing the barricades.

"Isn't the revolution over yet?" Louis said, "Joseph, I don't like revolution at all. I can't go to the streets, can't go to school, can't play with classmates, and Aunt Sophie is not here, Lucien wants me to do it Housework...I don't like revolution at all!"

"At first I heard that the school was closed. You don't know how happy it was! Now that Joseph is at home, you pretend to love studying!" Lucien leaned on the chair, put his chin on the back of the high chair, and slanted his eyes. Said contemptuously.

　　 "That's not because you pushed me to do all the housework while Joseph was not at home!"

　　 "May I give you a gambling, I let you a knight and a bishop, you still lose, so what else is there to say!"

　　 So Louis stopped speaking. Lucien opened his mouth and said, "Joseph, I listened to what you just said. Don't you think the revolution is not over yet?"

"End? How is it possible?" Joseph sneered, "My brother, this is not the end, nor the beginning of the end, not even the end of the beginning. Among those who are dissatisfied with today’s reality and think they have How can this revolution end before a powerful person is not satisfied or exhausts his own strength? Besides, on today’s stage, there may not necessarily be heroes who can accomplish great things, but there is absolutely no shortage of those who can make him himself To do things, they can't do anything, but if they are allowed to make trouble for others, their level is first-rate. You just wait and see."
