Chapter 161: The Storm is Coming
"Jia Xu, what you said is right, the French government has chosen the path of compromise, but they seem to have done a better job than you analyzed, and now the entire French kingdom is in harmony, even the most stubborn people dare not jump out at this time." Freedom and Equality' went against it, the peasants began to support the government, the burghers began to work hard, the aristocrats and capitalists entered the municipal councils everywhere, the once high figures remained in the National Constituent Assembly, and King Louis XVI held the crown as Mount Tai, even if he almost semi-openly did not cooperate with the work of the National Constituent Assembly!
In this way, it seems that all classes have found their own place? “
Lin Haoda looked at Jia Xu with a flat face and said. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
At this time, Lin Haoda of the French government naturally didn't like it, it was too harmonious and calm, and the old forces were too cowardly, so the feudal aristocratic private army was disbanded? The privilege was just handed over? Taxes also thrown away? Isn't it really distressing at all?!
Even if the aristocratic private soldier only changed his identity and became a guard, a coachman, a servant and so on, the privileges were gone, but the nobles were still high, and the taxes were gone, and the land rent would not be less......
But! That's the deadliest part!
As an outsider, Lin Haoda's news in the French government completely relied on his own initiative to leak out, and he didn't know what was inside at all, and it was impossible for those French people to play with Lin Haoda, unless they had a request from the French Foreign Legion.
Now that no one has taken the initiative to contact Lin Haoda, not even the Marquis of Sade, who represents the king's lineage, has not heard from him, is it possible that all the opposing classes are planning to play political routines?
"My lord, you are a little anxious, even if one person is deceived by another person, it will take a certain amount of time to react and launch a revenge plan, not to mention the different power classes that include the majority of the people?
The calm of the French government is now only a cover for the plans of the rebels, the policy of the National Constituent Assembly, which seems to satisfy all classes, is in fact the most deadly, and since ancient times no organization or individual can satisfy all at the same time, and I have carefully studied the decrees issued by the French government, which allowed the peasants to be free, but continued to burden them with heavy 'rent', such contradictions are not uncommon in the decrees issued by the National Constituent Assembly.
This practice of giving everyone a little benefit and then depriving everyone of certain benefits for this will not get the gratitude of others, but only the hatred of everyone!
People often only see what they have lost, and do not think about what they have gained, because human nature is greedy and selfish, not to mention, for the peasants, the land rent is equivalent to a disguised tax, when these low-level commoners know that they have been deceived by the French government, what will they do?
And for those feudal aristocrats and ecclesiastical monks, the National Constituent Assembly seems to have retained their roots, but it is too much to take away the 'privileged interests' of the old forces, and these superior people, who are accustomed to enjoying privileges, will not feel that what they hand over is a matter of course, they will only think that it is the French government that has robbed them of their privileges and deprived them of the benefits that belong to them!
In fact, the political fraud of the French government is very useful to the common people, because the common people are very easy to control, and once the situation of the uprising and revolution dissipates, it is as if the flame that has been ignited has been completely extinguished, and it is not a simple matter to rekindle the revolutionary fireworks.
As long as there is no force from the top to take the lead, the flames of the revolution have been extinguished, and the common people have gained some human rights to some extent, it is impossible to threaten the French government again, and the people sitting in the National Constituent Assembly must have thought of this.
But they have neglected the power of being of the same kind of people as them!
Those feudal aristocrats who have lost their privileges are not the following group of commoners who can endure oppression as long as they can live a long time, they have their own political groups, their own clear interests and demands, and they also have a lot of political and social resources.
They have lost too much to be so willing to fail, because the feudal aristocracy knew very well that their concessions would not only lose the glory of their ancestors forever, but would also make the new bourgeoisie recognize their weakness and reduce their surviving rights until the whole Kingdom of France would become a bourgeois empire like the English Empire!
I spent this time researching the history of the English Empire, which now seems to be full of nobles in parliament and the king has a lot of power, but the essence of the English Empire has been controlled by the capitalists, and even their royal family is the big boss of the capital industry!
The English Empire was a capital empire in a feudal shell, and real estate had long become a sideline for capitalists, because the British aristocracy also had to pay taxes, and most of the feudal privileges had long been abolished.
Obviously, it was impossible for the Kingdom of France to become like that, and neither King Louis XVI nor the majority of the members of the National Constituent Assembly had the same interests as the English Empire.
Perhaps, some of the people represented by the Marquis de Lafayette wanted to establish a constitutional monarchy like the English Empire.
The current French government is harmonious and plain on the surface, holding high the banner of freedom and equality, but in fact, there is an internal undercurrent, and various factions are connected to each other, just waiting for the communication to be completed, and they will work together.
Therefore, the French Foreign Legion is very safe.
It is impossible for the old power class to compromise with the resolution of the night of August 4th, at least not until they are defeated, perhaps they need a few weeks to gather, you just need to wait quietly, the reason why the French government supplies all the daily supplies of the army as usual is actually to stabilize us, and there are some people in the French government who do not want the French Foreign Legion to be involved in this matter. “
Lin Haoda frowned slightly, raised his eyes and said, "You said that you would wait for time, so when will it be?" ”
"This 'political show' that breaks the old order and gathers people's hearts must have a finishing touch.
Wait until the French government has issued a high-profile manifesto of summary, or generalization, to highlight the legal provisions and public documents highlighting the results of the resolution of the night of August 4, and to tell the French people in a way that the revolution has been triumphantly over.
This was a move by the French government to completely consolidate its authority, and it was also an account to the French civilians to ease their anger when they learned that they had been deceived.
The power of the people is strong, but the people are a very manipulative group, and I am sure that the National Constituent Assembly, which brings together most of the French elite, will have thought of a similar method of reassuring people.
When the French government issued a similar manifesto, it was time for the old power classes and the new bourgeoisie to come to an end, because after that the enthusiasm of the plebeians for revolution would be extinguished, and the plebeians, who would continue to bear the heavy taxes of the other, would only complain in words, rather than continue to take up arms in revolt, because the populace would find that they had no reason to rebel.
They have been freed and equal, and as long as the rest do not starve to death, the civilians will naturally not take the initiative to rebel again.
It's just that the people are not stupid, and they will have great resentment buried in their hearts, and this resentment is the back hand left behind by the new bourgeoisie after it fell into the political struggle against the old forces!
Therefore, no matter how strong the old power class is now, their defeat is inevitable, and once the old power class succeeds in seizing power in France, the French kingdom, which has broken all the old order, will only sway back and forth in turmoil.
We would not be in a good position if we were to secure the position of the French government in the new bourgeoisie, which itself came from the burghers, and who, unlike the old power classes, naturally stood in opposition to the people and could not use the power of the people.
As long as the leaders of the new bourgeoisie who sit in front are clever enough, the whole of France will be completely twisted together to survive the turmoil caused by the Revolution, and our armed forces, which the French government cannot fully control, will naturally be a thorn in the side of the French government. “
Jia Xu took a deep breath and spit out the key points heavily: "Therefore, before the lord takes power, the kingdom of France must be in a state of turmoil, and the lord had better stand on the side of the old power class that cannot use the power of the people, until the day when the lord takes power!" ”
After hearing this, Lin Haoda smiled and asked in a strange tone: "Jia Xu, do you respect the old feudal aristocracy of France so much?" ”
"Lord, it's not that I admire them, it mainly depends on the ultimate power balance between the two sides, no matter how many feudal nobles there are, there will be a day when they will be killed, but the power of the people cannot be completely eliminated, because of the civilians, we can't kill them all!
Without civilians, who will go to the factories to produce finished industrial products? Who goes to the fields to sow grain? Who will create the social resources to feed the army and the government? In the world of the future, the government will only use the power of the people more and more, and will not try to eliminate it.
However, the people cannot be eliminated, but the power of the people is indeed a very useful thing, the demands of the people are too simple, nothing more than food and clothing, and then take a step back, as long as they can eat enough, the common people are a group of social screws who are willing to work day and night, and become the foundation of the lord's grand plan and hegemony! “
"Haha, what a reason to support the old forces, congratulations, you have successfully persuaded me, from today onwards, Jia Xu you are the chief staff officer by my side, you can inquire about all the intelligence information anytime and anywhere, if you have any suggestions, you can come to me directly, the entire French Foreign Legion, you only need to be responsible for me alone!"
Jia Xu bowed and made a long bow, and replied with an excited face: "Thank you Lord Gong for cultivation!" ”
