Chapter 112: Fight or Not Fight Five
Seeing the appearance of the Marquis de Lafayette, the corners of Jacques-Pierre Brissot's mouth drew a smug arc, and he proposed to everyone while the iron was hot: "According to the information of the informants in the city of Paris, after such a long battle, the bandits under Lin Haoda have less than 3,000 troops left, and they are all tired soldiers, we only need to reorganize the National Guard and armed citizens, stimulate the revolutionary enthusiasm of the people, and we will definitely be able to turn defeat into victory and push back to the Bastille, Lin Haoda's rebel army no longer had many soldiers to fight against the general trend of the revolution.

Jacques-Pierre Brissot's 'positive' revolutionary attitude was recognized by more than half of the people, and even the democratic radicals represented by Robespierre clapped their hands to express their support.
Although Jacques-Pierre Brissot was less influential in the Jacobin Club than Robespierre, he was better mixed in the National Assembly than Robespierre, because Jacques-Pierre Brissot was able to negotiate with a large number of 'friends' who were also in favor of the constitutional monarchy with him.
In addition to the liberal aristocracy, the other members of parliament who supported the constitutional monarchy were very dissatisfied with the attitude of the Marquis de Lafayette as a French prime minister!
Just as the outcome of the National Assembly was about to be decided, the doors of the National Guard were suddenly opened, and a National Guard officer in military uniform walked in, and the Marquis de Lafayette and Jacques-Pierre Brissot, among others, could not help but think of the 'political label' attached to the female National Guard officer, Saint-Juste, when they saw the female National Guard officer walk in.
A supporter of Robespierre's democratic radicals, or Robespierre's 'little fan sister'?
Less than 20 years old, the handsome but heroic Saint Juste came in, saluted politely to the bigwigs in the council, and reported loudly: "Urgent military situation, according to the report of the informant in the occupied area occupied by the rebels under Lin Haoda, a large number of soldiers have emerged inside the Bastille, and it is conservatively estimated that this reinforcement is more than 10,000 people, we can't find out where this suddenly appeared force, after the rebel army of Lin Haoda's department has increased greatly, it has re-consolidated the occupied area, and has shown an offensive posture against our defense area, In particular, the defensive pressure on the front line of the Jacobin Club has increased greatly, and I hope that the revolutionary government can send enough reinforcements to strengthen the defensive line, otherwise, we may not be able to stop the crazy attack of Lin Haoda's rebels, because their reinforcements are all fresh troops with full physical strength! ”
After St. Just's voice fell, the entire council fell into an eerie silence in an instant, and it was only after dozens of seconds that the voice of the Marquis de Lafayette broke the audible silence for the first time, and replied in a slightly hoarse voice: "We know, let the ministries pay attention to the vigilance first, and when we finish discussing, the reinforcements will be transferred." ”
Saint-Juste's eyes flashed slightly, and he glanced imperceptibly at Robespierre, who was sitting in the corner, and withdrew with a military salute.
When the door of the parliament was closed again, the Marquis de Lafayette glanced at the councillors present one by one with a solemn expression, and said in a serious voice: "Do you still think that the strength of Lin Haoda's rebels has been greatly damaged?" ”
Jacques-Pierre Brissot did not reverse black and white this time, he put his hands on his chest and chose silence to be golden......
In the intelligence, it was said that the number of reinforcements that suddenly appeared in Lin Haoda's rebel army was tens of thousands, and even if everyone here didn't know much about military affairs, they knew that Lin Haoda's military strength at this time was almost equivalent to not much loss before the war!
As for why Lin Haoda didn't use this reinforcement before to deal a bigger blow to the National Self-Defense Force, everyone can only bury their doubts deeply, no matter what the reason, the tens of thousands of reinforcements will never go wrong, no one will joke with this kind of information!
Saint-Juste must have sent someone to investigate before reporting to the revolutionary government, and it was not difficult to verify such information in the urban area of Paris, which was well connected by neighborhoods......
With the combat effectiveness of the rebel army under Lin Haoda, there were suddenly more reinforcements than 10,000, and the strength of the two sides in a short period of time was relatively high, not to look at the existing number of the National Self-Defense Force still has an advantage, but at this time, the main force of the National Self-Defense Force that can fight is scattered, and a large number of veterans have died......
As for the armed citizens who collapsed with them, not to mention the inferiority of the mob armament, which has been vividly manifested!
The National Guard was able to continue its resistance in the city of Paris only because of the relentless propaganda of the revolutionary leaders at the top and the morale boost of the municipal revolution that took place throughout France.
No one thought that the remnants of the National Guard, who were now in the inner part of Paris, and the armed citizens who did not know what to call them, could fight against the rebels under Lin Haoda's command, whose strength was instantly restored......
"Is it true that France cannot avoid a full-scale civil war?" A trance-like councillor asked the crowd with a trembling voice.
As for the democratic radicals represented by Robespierre, they did not have any intention of being discouraged, but they also knew the disparity between the forces of the enemy and us at this time, not to mention, the situation at this time was dominated by the constitutional monarchists led by the Marquis de Lafayette, and Robespierre and others were very happy to see the dilemma of the constitutional monarchists.
If this situation is not handled well, it will definitely deal a great blow to the prestige of the constitutional monarchy, and the Marquis de Lafayette will bear the brunt of the infamy!
Robespierre and others had even drafted in their minds how to attack the Marquis de Lafayette and others after this state of affairs had ended!
The Jacobin Clubs were never good at military affairs and war, but their greatest strength was their popular popularity and advocacy of a republican system!
After the revolution, many sans-culottes have used the Jacobin Club as a sounding board to represent their own interests, and Robespierre and others are indeed tirelessly appealing for political rights and interests for sans-culottes and working hard for true freedom and equality!
In the end, it was the Marquis de Lafayette, the 'first man', who had to stand up and carry the beams, and he said to everyone in a heavy tone: "The present grim situation is extremely unfavorable to the situation of the revolution, first of all, we should stabilize the existing front, it is impossible to attack, but at least we must maintain a strategic presence in the city of Paris!" ”
