199 The Girondins
A well-decorated aristocratic carriage drove slowly through the streets of Paris, Armand Jean Sone lifted the curtain of the carriage, looked at the numb-eyed Parisian citizens beside the street, looked back into the carriage, looked at his political leader, Jacques-Pierre Brissot, and asked with a puzzled face:
"Your Excellency, the Count of Paris is just a murderous butcher, you see that the city of Paris has only passed a year under his rule, the whole city of Paris seems to be in a cold purgatory, from the beginning of entering the city of Paris, I have only seen the fatigue of numbness and long-term labor, but not the slightest positive yearning for the future life, such a person is really worth what we pay?
The Count of Paris has a huge legion, but he is excluded from the politics of the Kingdom of France, and without his approval, we can still change the composition of the National Constituent Assembly and overthrow the rotten triumvirate system that controls the National Assembly.

And, without the bribery of the Count of Paris, we can also grasp more of the positions of ministers of the government of the Kingdom of France! ”
Pierre-Victoion Venio, who was sitting next to Armand Jeansone, also agreed: "I think what Armand said is very reasonable, Lin Haoda is just a foreigner after all, even if he has more troops, it is impossible to have a earth-shaking impact on French politics, and the national national guard and even those reactionary aristocratic armed forces cannot obey Lin Haoda's orders, what we should do is to liberate Paris from Lin Haoda's clutches, Instead of giving this greedy demon a ladder to intervene in the political arena of the Kingdom of Fa-France! ”
Jacques Pierre Brissot, the political leader of the Girondists, looked at the fierce opposition of his two right-hand men, and knew that they had been stimulated by the hardships of the citizens of Paris, which had not been the case before they came to Paris......
However, as the political leader of the Girondists, Jacques Pierre Brissot had more factors to consider, he was a veteran who had sat in the National Assembly since the beginning of the Revolution, and had fought with the Marquis de Lafayette for power.
However, the Kingdom of France under the control of the Big Three, due to the severe inflation crisis that broke out because of the index issue, caused the entire Kingdom of France to face collapse in the middle of 1790, which not only alienated the French people from the outside world, but also caused irreparable political division among the constitutional bourgeoisie itself.
Although the Big Three barely managed to maintain order in the National Assembly, it had long since been divided into several pieces, and the bourgeois politicians who had unanimously supported the constitutional monarchists had divided into a large number of small groups of other political views after seeing the failure of the French policy of the Big Three.
Broadly speaking, these small groups can be divided into three groups: those who continue to support the constitutional monarchy of the Triumvirate, who even at this point in the Kingdom of France believe that their political opinions are correct and seek to maintain them, and the Triumvirate are representatives of the die-hards......
Of course, in front of many bourgeois politicians and bigwigs, the diehards seem to be able to continue to control the National Assembly, but in fact they have been completely corrupted and disintegrated internally.
With the exception of the constitutional monarchist diehards, led by the triumvirate, the rest can be roughly divided into the bourgeois-democratic radicals on the radical side, and these politicians call themselves the Montagnards, who, unlike the opposition Jacobins, whose members are mostly from the people, are themselves from the bourgeoisie, but they believe that France has no future at all by relying solely on the power of capital and the union of the aristocracy.
Therefore, the Montagnard faction accepted the political ideas of the opposition Jacobins, believing that it was necessary to unite with the sans-culottes at the bottom to seek the welfare of the French people at the bottom, unite the majority of the French people in the middle and lower classes, and establish a real republic!
Only in this way will the French nation be able to defeat the reactionary armed army of the old forces that have re-emerged with the help of the broad masses of the people, and restore the glory of the independence and freedom of the French nation.
For this reason, the politicians of the mountain faction did not hesitate to declare war on the imperialist forces that openly opposed the revolutionary regime!
Thus, the Montagnards, who were the first to split from the bourgeois political circles of the constitutional monarchists, were also mainly suppressed by the die-hards led by the Big Three, who considered them radical warists......
The main antagonists in the National Assembly are the diehards and the mountain faction represented by the Big Three, and the other neutral faction, which is not clearly divided, but already has a core political leader, is the Girondists led by Jacques-Pierre Brissot, which some have dubbed the Baguette faction, alluding to their policy of soft neutrality.
The Girondists did not explicitly oppose the constitutional monarchy, but they also did not suppress the power of the democrats, Jacques Pierre Brissot mainly represented the liberal business class bourgeoisie, the members of this class were undoubtedly wealthy, so after the provincial government councils were elected in full accordance with the amount of taxes, the Girondists' supporters were all over the provincial councils of the vast foreign provinces of the Kingdom of France, and it can be said that in the whole territory of the Kingdom of France, the provincial politicians supported the most powerful faction!
Because the Girondists' political views were relatively moderate and they did not explicitly declare their separation from the constitutional monarchists, they were not suppressed by the Big Three, and they always retained a lot of seats in the National Assembly, in addition to this, Jacques Pierre Brissot also secretly co-opted a large number of industrial and commercial bourgeois parliamentarians, and it can be said that among the diehards, there are many parliamentarians who are devoted to Jacques Pierre Brissot!
The Big Three had no idea that it was not the mountain faction that had been suppressed like a target on the open side, nor was it the Jacobin Club, which could not be put on the table, but the Girond's party established by the seemingly inconspicuous Jacques Pierre Brissot!
By the end of 1790, Jacques-Pierre Brissot had secretly mastered the support of most of the industrial, commercial and bourgeois politicians in the National Constituent Assembly, and had the political power to legitimately oust the Big Three, but just as the Girondists were about to triumph, Jacques-Pierre Brissot personally went to the Tuileries Palace in Paris with his right-hand man, to use the power of the French government to buy the support of Linhaoda, the warlord leader!
This news was known only to the core members of the Girondists, and to be honest, the Girondist politicians who were about to take power did not see the need to buy Lin Haoda, a foreigner, to give him the opportunity to intervene in the French government.
But Jacques Pierre Brissot, in the street battles in Paris, was too impressed by the armed forces under Lin Haoda, if he could not make Lin Haoda break with King Louis XVI in the real sense, he would not dare to overthrow the three diehards who had cooperated with Lin Haoda in the French government!
Versailles is too close to the city of Paris, and the hundreds of thousands of national guards in other provinces can't save the fire, not to mention that in the king's royal army in the city of Versailles, there is an elite army of two thousand people from Paris!
Jacques-Pierre Brissot knew that his politicians were very good at economics and politics, but his knowledge of the army was limited to the comparison of troops and artillery, and most of the core members of the Girondists believed that relying on the fortifications of the fortress of Versailles and the tens of thousands of National Guards loyal to the French government in the city could stop the Parisian legions coming out of the city, but Jacques Pierre Brissot did not have such confidence.
How many times did the Marquis de Lafayette during the Great Revolution think that the Nationalist Government would defeat Lin Haoda, and in the end he was slapped in the face?
How did the once glorious Marquis Lafayette fall from the pinnacle of power and be forced into exile in the United States of America?!
How did King Louis XVI now have more than 5,000 direct officers of the King's Guards, despite the initial restriction of his personal freedom?
Isn't this caused by Lin Haoda, a warlord leader who has been excluded from French politics?!
Although he himself could not enter the French political arena, Lin Haoda had too much power to influence the French political arena, if the French kingdom was stable and united, it would be okay, but now the Girondists want to overthrow the government headed by the Big Three and take power.
Jacques-Pierre Brissot knew very well that if he didn't give Lin Haoda enough benefits, he would probably personally lead troops to take advantage of the change of power in the French government!
This kind of thing, Lin Haoda hasn't done it before!
Jacques-Pierre Brissot looked at the puzzlement of his two subordinates in front of him, and sighed: "You don't know the real strength of the Paris Legion, you can think about it the other way, the city of Paris, the cradle of the revolution that once took the lead in the outbreak of revolution and had the most fighting will, but now the citizens inside have become a group of obedient people who are willing to be oppressed, can do this, is it really just the strength shown on the surface?"
Don't forget, Lin Haoda does not have the ability to control and influence the French regime, but he has the ability to smash everything, before getting our cake, he should first pacify the robbers who are about to move with a hammer next to him! “
