Chapter 86: Temptation and Threat

More than half an hour after leaving King Louis XVI, the Marquis de Lafayette and the liberal nobles gathered for an internal meeting of the constitutional monarchists at the Palace of Versailles and the beginning of a distribution of power. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

However, before the distribution of power, King Louis XVI must first be invited back to the city of Paris and let him return to the Palais Bourbon, so that the unshakable position of the constitutional monarchy can be truly established!

Since it is a constitutional monarchy, how can there be no 'monarch' with that prefix?

And if you want to invite Louis XVI back to Paris, you must completely pacify the 'rebellious army' in Paris, and under Louis XVI's promise, the final obstacle has pointed to one person - Lin Haoda!

Therefore, the first issue discussed by the Marquis de Lafayette and the constitutional monarchists was to solve the army of Lin Haoda.

For politicians, war is always the last choice that has to be made, and no one wants to use war to solve the goal at the negotiating table!

War maniacs do not like war itself, but the benefits obtained after victory, and for politicians, war is not a beautiful thing, it requires the consumption of a lot of wealth, not to mention the sacrifice of many lives!

Politicians naturally do not feel sorry for the lives of those soldiers and civilians, but if too many people die, the people at the lower levels who support their regime will be dissatisfied, and sooner or later this big black pot will be pinned on the heads of these politicians who issued war orders!

To put it bluntly, I don't like war or out of concern about maintaining my position, it's easy to say that everything is overcome, but if it is defeated, there are fewer examples of the collapse of the government team?

Not to mention the nation-state of later generations, even in the era when the feudal autocratic king monopolized power, once defeated, the king had to pay a heavy price and lose a lot of prestige......

Therefore, the first solution proposed by the constitutional monarchist meeting led by the Marquis de Lafayette was not to use force, but to take the royal decree of the king to 'persuade' Lin Haoda.

As long as Lin Haoda agreed to disband the army, money was definitely not a problem, and at the meeting, the Marquis de Lafayette even proposed to give Lin Haoda a private mansion in the city of Paris to make up for the cost of his disbandment of the army......

Of course, these are just conditions used to confuse Lin Haoda, and when Lin Haoda has no army, a yellow Asian who has no roots in France, is dead or alive or a matter of Marquis Lafayette's words?

Because of this, the topic of everyone's discussion is completely on the direction of tempting Lin Haoda to give up the army, and a lot of generous conditions such as money, beautiful women, and so on that men like, and some people even put forward a more creative suggestion:

"We can also promise Lin Haoda to send him on an ocean-going trading ship to the Far East and send him back to his hometown, whether he was originally a Qing or a native of Southeast Asia, we can satisfy him, if Lin Haoda really misses his hometown, this must be very tempting to him."

The Marquis de Lafayette nodded in agreement, "Yes, add this one." ā€

In this way, the Marquis de Lafayette's National Guard has not yet driven back, and several representatives who went to Paris to negotiate with Lin Haoda have left the city of Versailles, including the Marquis de Sade, who had a relationship with Lin Haoda, of course, this time it was the revolutionary government that went to negotiate with Lin Haoda openly, and the Marquis de Sade was just a person who led the way, and the real leader of this delegation was the constitutional monarchist, the dog leg of the Marquis de Lafayette, Mounier.

Sending such a person can be regarded as an expression of the importance that the revolutionary government attaches to Lin Haoda...... Before Lin Haoda disbanded the army, he was absolutely valued!

Lally, who temporarily commanded the National Guard in the city of Paris. Torandal received the delegation first, and received accurate information from Versailles, and at the private instructions of Meunier, the National Guard began to prepare for battle, delivering ammunition and other supplies to the front!

Once the negotiations break down, it's Lally. The moment when Tolandal launched the first round of attacks!

The Jacobins and other bigwigs of the Standing Committee, who represented the lower class of public opinion, were temporarily let go by the constitutional monarchists led by the Marquis de Lafayette because of the greater threat of Lin Haoda, and did not immediately liquidate their responsibility for the loss of the Paris City Hall, but the name of the Standing Committee was officially changed to the City Council of Paris after the news of the king's bow spread.

It can be regarded as a solid institution that will hold the administrative power of the capital of Paris in the future.

Lin Haoda, who slept in the Bastille overnight, waited for Zhaoyun's return on the morning of the evening of the 18th, and at the same time brought not very good news......

"The host, Maria in the Palace of Versailles. Queen Antoinette speaks for you, and the humiliation of the Marquis de Lafayette, commander-in-chief of the National Guard, has spread the word, and the Marquis de Lafayette has spoken in public about the fact that he wants to disband our armed forces, and the entire French high society, except for the humiliated Maria. Except Queen Antoinette, there is no one who speaks for us......"

After Lin Haoda heard this, his face suddenly became strange, it was normal for no one to support him in the French upper class, because he was a mercenary from the bottom, let alone a nobleman, and he didn't even know an official......

In terms of connections, Lin Haoda's only reliance seems to be his uncle who acts as a small leader of mercenaries, but unfortunately, with the defeat of the mercenaries loyal to the king, it is not clear whether his cheap uncle is dead or alive......

Lin Haoda was a little incomprehensible, and the unmasked Maria. Why did Queen Antoinette speak for herself?

Could it be that the lovely Maria. Queen Antoinette still has the intention of keeping her arms and supporting the fallen royal power?

Hehe, maybe there is only such a whimsical explanation, this Maria. Queen Antoinette is really persistent, but to me, it seems to be the only good news in the bad news, and if I can prove my strength from this maelstrom, I can pass Maria. Queen Antoinette this line touched King Louis XVI, and then ......

Lin Haoda retracted his divergent thoughts, looked at Zhaoyun and said, "If I don't agree, what is Lafayette going to do?" Would you indiscriminately have a head-to-head showdown with me in the heart of Paris? ā€

Zhaoyun blinked his eyes wide and said loudly: "That's not true, the Marquis Lafayette hasn't even left the Palace of Versailles yet, he just sent a delegation to try to discuss the next matters with you face to face, I think, it won't be long before they arrive." ā€
