263 The Five Great Forces

Dangdang~~~

Jacques-Pierre Brissot, who now controls most of south-France and the newly reclaimed Vendée, occupies a territory comparable to that of Robespierre's Girondist political leader, a typical representative of the industrial and commercial bourgeoisie, who was also a former capitalist and came from high society.

When the leader of Brissot, who was on official business, heard the knock on the door, he politely shouted to the door: "Please come in." ”

The bourgeois government under Jacques-Pierre Brissot is undoubtedly the most gentlemanly in Europe, most of the members of the government are from the bourgeoisie, but they do not have any glorious titles of nobility, so they are very eager for the decent and courteous lifestyle of the aristocracy.

According to the social system of the 21st century, the bourgeoisie was the nouveau riche in the eyes of the feudal monarchs and the aristocratic class in the 18th century, although it was very rich, but the aristocrats always had a natural sense of superiority over it, and most of the bourgeoisie itself also thought so, because of this, the capitalists did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to win over the nobles, and strive to be able to deduct a noble title for themselves, even if it was just an honor, it was also very good.

Therefore, the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the aristocracy is far less than that of the commoners and nobles who are oppressed by various aristocratic privileges and taxes at the bottom, and after the bourgeoisie obtains political rights, it will naturally not have much motivation to exterminate the aristocratic class, after all, most of the capitalists themselves have noble honorary titles, not to mention good friendships with many ancient aristocratic families, and the aristocratic class in the areas controlled by the Girondists can get good treatment under the Girondists as long as they do not support the reactionary aristocracy and the restoration of the king, property can be retained, and if you have enough connections, you can also get a government position.

The Girondists had the same system of decentralized local councils as before, but at this time France was full of war, and Jacques-Pierre Brissot did not have to worry about the centripetal force of the government.

Interestingly, there are five forces in France: the regime of the Regent of Linhaoda, the aristocratic warlords of the Marquis de Lafayette, the reactionary aristocratic armed forces scattered in the locality, the ruling government of the First French Republic of Robespierre, and the Girondist regime.

Four of them all have a strong sole leadership, close to dictatorship, Robespierre, Linhaoda, and the Marquis de Lafayette, these three naturally needless to say, although the local reactionary aristocratic armed forces are scattered, but because of the support of Austria and Prussia, they unanimously respect the Count of Provence who lives in the Kingdom of Sardinia as the boss, and they are not connected to each other's territory, but they all have correspondence, and they are in a hurry to mercenary and form a direct aristocratic guard everywhere, it is this group of local aristocratic reactionary forces, As a result, the scattered battles in the entire land of France have never been broken, which is much more powerful than the guerrillas in the occupied area of Lin Haoda!

On the one hand, the reason why the nobles left over from French history are very rich in family background, and the government after the French Revolution collapsed too quickly under Lin Haoda's plan, and it was too late to purge these local reactionary aristocratic forces that had accumulated wealth and power for hundreds of years.

On the other hand, apart from Robespierre's government exterminating the aristocratic class, the Girondists and Lin Haoda were unwilling to take action against these local reactionary aristocratic forces that could not affect the overall situation for the time being.

These local reactionary aristocracy are not guerrillas, the muskets and artillery are fully loaded, and there are many cavalry troops, and they want to be cleared, so some of them can be fought, the Girondists do not want to waste military power consumption, and Lin Haoda is because he is now holding high the banner of King Louis XVII, if he really does something to these local reactionary aristocratic forces, will he not openly provoke Prussia and Austria behind them?

And if he provoked Prussia and Austria, it would not be long before Lin Haoda declared war on the entire European continental powers......

Don't look at Lin Haoda's recent victory, but once the foreign intervention forces intervene on a large scale and target Lin Haoda, he will no longer be able to devote his energy to encircling and annihilating the rising French national regime, and he is likely to face the strategic risk of being flanked.

The Young Guards can fight again, but their numbers are limited, and more than 100,000 people are undoubtedly dying if they start a war with the entire European continent......

Among these five forces, the most peaceful atmosphere is undoubtedly the Girondin control area, where there is no dictatorship, no grain conscription teams, and no coolie concentration camps!

Although Jacques-Pierre Brissot was the political leader of the Girondists, he consulted with the other Girondists in everything, in fact, Jacques-Pierre Brissot was the real democratic speaker, but Jacques-Pierre Brissot's democracy was not for all the French, but for all the wealthy French.

Even the Girondist government still has many people who hope to reconcile with Lin Haoda, even if it is a nominal recognition of his status as regent, and the real status of Louis XVII, there are quite a few big industrial and commercial capitalists who support this opinion, because many of them have the interest of conducting commercial activities with overseas colonies and producing through factories, as long as they ensure that their factories are not in the area controlled by Lin Haoda, their money-making business will not have much impact, and this situation of French scuffle is basically except for merchants who do arms trading, Nobody likes ......

However, such an outrageous proposal was not adopted by Jacques-Pierre Brissot, and Jacques-Pierre Brissot, who respected the 'democracy of the rich', did not explicitly veto it.

After all, the current Girondist government nominally only recognizes a French Republic, and to put it simply, Robespierre's ruling government is nominally the Girondist 'boss'.

As the office door opened, a secretarial clerk walked in with a paper tube and placed it on Jacques-Pierre Brissot's desk.

"Your Excellency Leader Brissot, the Marseille region has been occupied by the Regent Lin Haoda and many councillors have suggested that it is time for us to end this French civil war as soon as possible, and they say that the French nation cannot continue to maintain this divided situation, and that it is likely to attract the covetousness of 'foreigners' in the long run."

"Foreigners' covetousness?" Jacques-Pierre Brissot sneered: "Don't they know that Lin Haoda is a yellow-skinned foreigner?" A group of guys who only know how to make peace for the sake of their own money bags, don't bother with them. ”

Jacques-Pierre Brissot's mouth said that he didn't care, but his hands still opened the paper tube helplessly, and the secretary clerk opposite shrugged his shoulders, he knew very well the mentality of his own Brissot's leader, Brissot was not Robespierre, it was impossible to shut everyone up with a word, I am afraid that Brissot had a headache for a while.
