The dramatic rout of the foreign war caused the elite of the National Guard, which had been converted from the old army of the Kingdom of France, to collapse nearly half of its men, and the generals were completely co-opted by the king's line in order to protect their own interests, and opposed the Girondist government. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, it was not the Girondist political leader Jacques-Pierre Brissot, whom the generals hated the most, but Robespierre, the leader of the Jacobins who represented the interests of the sans-culottes!

The military defeat allowed King Louis XVI to partially fulfill his objectives, and the Girondins, in order to ease relations with the generals at the front, began to make concessions to King Louis XVI, who was under house arrest, allowing him to participate in the convening of the National Assembly from time to time, and allowing him to express his views and proposals.

This move undoubtedly became a political victory for the old aristocratic class, and the Marquis de Lafayette was pardoned for his previous crimes in the Girondist government, and his nobility was restored, and his position as commander-in-chief of the National Guard was not reinstated, but only allowed to command the French veterans who followed him.

The Girondists' 'weakness' completely infuriated the bourgeois patriot officers who fought on the front line, and they angrily took their troops with them, or simply left the troops, and the French government had planned to gather more than 200,000 elite National Guards in the border area, but in the end only the 100,000 or so National Guards were left under the control of generals who supported the king and the nobility......

The rest of the soldiers, some of them disheartened and returned to their hometowns, others followed the angry bourgeois patriot officers to other parts of the country and joined the political forces representing the democrats, and the Jacobins undoubtedly gained greatly in the process of the self-disintegration of the elite of the National Guard, and Robespierre gained for the first time the support of his own armed forces!

The defeat in the foreign war showed the entire French people how correct Robespierre's original reasons for refusing to go to war were, and the Jacobins used this political momentum to raise Robespierre's prestige to a higher level, and for the first time in the National Assembly, the Jacobins reached a level of status with the Montenerates.

However, the Girondins, who were willing to compromise with the aristocracy, received the full support of the Lamet faction, and the Marquis de Lafayette and other generals of the National Guard, who stayed in the border area, also became the foreign aid support of the Lamet faction, and the Marquis de Lafayette, in order to win the understanding of the aristocratic class, even openly claimed that he was ready to lead his troops to Versailles to disperse the Jacobins!

The Marquis de Lafayette's speech was so harsh, but because of this, the Marquis de Lafayette regained the support of the nobility and revived the voice of the exiles and the French aristocracy.

However, this military defeat not only did not suppress the national sentiment of France, but because of Robespierre's wise prediction, it was united under the leadership of the Jacobins and rose again!

The spearhead is directly aimed at the aristocratic class that mocks the nation!

Under the propaganda of the Jacobins, the notion that the national impulse was closely linked to the rise of the revolution was embraced by the French plebeians, and a class conflict became the foundation of patriotism.

After the 'secrets' of the king's private correspondence with the generals were exposed by the Jacobins, the French people were completely inclined to patriotism and completely abandoned the former loyalistism!

The national crisis, which had aroused revolutionary sentiment, intensified the internal antagonism between the bourgeoisie and the common class, and many French people divided the rich big capitalists into the side of the decadent and degenerate oppression of the people.

This frightened the Girondists, who, in order to maintain the rule of the French government, began to arm the bourgeois volunteers with taxes on the wealthy class.

Because at this time, the National Guard had essentially split into several pieces, and the most elite part was the 100,000 army that gathered the last essence of the veterans of the original French regular army and hoarded in the border area, and this army had become a political bargaining chip in the political position of the generals and the king.

Most of the remaining National Guards were formed after the Revolution, and they all obeyed the orders of the local government, and a few obeyed the orders of the democratic political forces.

It can be said that Lin Haoda's plan has been more than half successful!

The National Guard, the regular army of the Kingdom of France, has gradually become two opposing parts, and when they break out into a real conflict that cannot be reconciled, it is the best moment for Lin Haoda to jump out!

The outbreak of the national movement has made all the calculations of the Girondists go to waste, the social problems and economic recession that had been covered up by the acts of war in the past have flared up again, and the local prices have risen again, and the Girondists cannot afford to use the deficit of the kingdom's finances to raise the prices of your ......

This time, under the active promotion of the Jacobins, the Girondists were completely disconnected from the masses of the people, and began a 'national decline', the original Girondists compromised with the nobility in order to avoid the outbreak of civil war, and now the Girondists had to cooperate with the Lamet faction, which represented the aristocracy and the big bourgeoisie, otherwise the Girondists would probably lose the power of the National Assembly!

However, at the very moment when the political power of the Girondists was declining, the Monthills and the Jacobins jointly broke a 'political blow'.

They presented tangible evidence of the existence of the 'Olympic Committee' in the royal family, and pointed to the representative figure of the Crown, Maria Murphy. The autographed letter of Queen Antoinette exposing the letter to the Olympic Committee in Maria. Under the auspices of Queen Antoinette, work for the victory of foreign enemy armies and aristocratic reactionary classes!

The defeat of the war against Austria was all over the head of the royal family at once, and under such a general trend, the Girondists did not dare to support the royal family at all, and the National Assembly issued one new decree after another with great efficiency to comprehensively suppress the fan revolutionary forces in France!

The decree states that all rebel clergy denounced by more than 20 citizens of the province will be expelled, that the National Guard, composed mainly of nobles, will be outlawed, that new ones will be recruited, that the passive citizen class will be allowed to participate, and that the new National Guard will be used as a direct force to defend the French regime, and that military action will be carried out against the rebellious generals if necessary!

These decrees were directed at the generals stationed in the border area, who tried their best to resist them in order to maintain their power, and the rebel clergy, who had received a lot of support, also gathered their strength, and finally succeeded in creating a vast fan revolutionary base during the French government's concentration of forces against the border generals!

In the Vendée region of western France, where the aristocracy and religious atmosphere were strong, the rebel clergy successfully overthrew the local provincial government and provincial council in an armed rebellion of believers, and established a 'small kingdom' ruled independently by a council composed entirely of nobles and rebel clergy.

The real elite of the National Guard has long since split and dissolved itself, and the local National Guard can only barely guarantee that the rebellion in the Vendée will not spread, but they are powerless to suppress this revolutionary rebellion......

After the success of the rebellion in the Vendée, the Marquis de Lafayette decided that the time had come, and on June 18, 1792, he publicly declared: "The French constitution is threatened by both internal rebellion and external enemies, and urges the parliament to crush all democratic movements and to repeal the 'irrational' new decrees!" ”

Hit by the enormous prestige of the success of the internal rebellion, the incompetent Girondists were mired in irreconcilable contradictions of their own, and Jacques-Pierre Brissot, unable to solve the dilemma at home and abroad, wanted to appease the people's emotions, but feared the people's 'revolutionary destructive power', and imposed all kinds of restrictions on the popular movement......

The Girondins, unable to respond effectively, were gradually overtaken by the Jacobins and Montlands in the National Assembly.

When the democratic political forces gradually began to control the French government, the imperial monarchs, threatened by the French revolution, finally reached an internal consensus and sent troops in the real sense!

At the beginning of July 1792, the Prussian army under the command of the Duke of Brunswick reached the French border, and Condé's army of exiles and reactionary nobles arrived one after another, and the battle was about to begin in France proper.

In the face of imminent danger, the Jacobins threw themselves into the struggle for the salvation of the Fatherland and the revolution, and Robespierre and Jacques-Pierre Brissot jointly issued a united call to parliament in which they generously denounced the treachery of the king and his generals!

The National Assembly began to issue proclamations to all of France: "A great army is closing on our borders, and all those who hate liberty are armed against our constitution, citizens! The Motherland is in danger!! ”

During the period of full cooperation between the Girondists and the majority of the political factions of the National Assembly, such as the Jacobins and the Montagnards, the conditions for recruitment of the National Guard and the Militia Volunteer Army were relaxed to the passive citizen class, that is, the poor people in the cities of the Kingdom of France who had no fixed assets.

It was also the main support group of the Jacobins.

The scene that Lin Haoda is looking forward to is about to happen, the National Guard and militia volunteers gathered in Versailles are about to go to the French border to fight!

The Parisian legions, by virtue of their privilege, were allowed to stay in the Paris region to defend them, and the fanatics of the French government were not afraid of Lin Haoda, believing that any general who dared to rebel in the face of a foreign invasion would be crushed to pieces by the iron fist of the people.

The Jacobins and Montlanders had a mysterious confidence in the power of the people, believing that if they were on the side of the French people, they would be invincible!

However, in the midst of such a general situation, traitors first appeared within the National Assembly, and the Girondists, who had been forced to make a choice, received an olive branch from the King's line and the Lamets.

Jacques-Pierre Brissot, the leader of the Girondists, who believed that the power of the people was far more destructive than that of the aristocracy, decisively agreed to full cooperation with the reactionary forces!
