Chapter 109: Fight or Fight Two

The Marquis Lafayette, who was at the peak of his life, suddenly lost his unique right to speak in the revolutionary parliament with the rout caused by the night of the 21st, although the constitutional monarchists with the liberal aristocracy as the main body continued to support the Marquis Lafayette and kept his rightful position for their own interests, but those radical bigwigs of the Jacobins, and even some bigwigs of the constitutionalists of the bourgeoisie, no longer need to look at the face of the Marquis Lafayette!

The battle damage and defeat of the main force of the 60,000 National Guard also dealt a great blow to the prestige established by the Marquis de Lafayette in the National Guard, and if it were not for the liberal nobles and constitutional monarchists supporting the Marquis de Lafayette, he might not even be able to keep the post of commander-in-chief of the National Guard......

When the situation of the revolutionary government was not established by the constitution, any change of great impact was enough to provoke a frequent change of office. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

The defeat of the Marquis de Lafayette's National Guard in the face of the defeat of Lin Haoda's forces contrasted sharply with the stubborn resistance of the Jacobin Club, which had completely offset the loss of the Paris City Hall.

After all, one is to lose the original revolutionary headquarters, and the other is to lead the main force of the National Guard to fight a big rout, and the eldest brother on both sides should not laugh at the second brother, just give up on each other......

Because of this, the bourgeois republicans and the radical Jacobin Club members, who had been suppressed by the Marquis de Lafayette, managed to make a comeback in the revolutionary parliament, once again gaining more than half of the power in the parliament!

However, neither the members of the Jacobin Club nor the bourgeois republicans were inherently united, and like the original Patriotic Party, they were divided into several different political divisions, and it would not be long before they split into several politically different gangs, just like the now completely divided Patriotic Party.

At this time, there was no political party, only the factions were different, and except for the liberal constitutional monarchy led by the Marquis de Lafayette, although the overall strength of the other factions exceeded that of the Marquis de Lafayette, they were scattered like sand, and there were even many bourgeoisie and radical members in favor of a constitutional monarchy!

Of course, endorsing a constitutional monarchy does not mean that he is willing to recognize the Marquis de Lafayette's leadership.

If we divide it purely by the opinion of the form of government, the members of the revolutionary parliament who support the constitutional monarchists undoubtedly have an absolute advantage!

After all, the poorest of the people who can enter the revolutionary parliament are small owners who resemble small bosses, have a good basic education, and most of them are capitalists and aristocrats who control a lot of resources and fiefs!

Only by uniting the capitalists and the aristocracy could it be possible to overthrow the rule of King Louis XVI in this era of feudal absolutism!

It's a pity that while they complacently smashed the autocratic power of the king, they inadvertently unleashed a revolutionary monster called 'the people'!

It was such a revolutionary parliament whose composition had become more complex than it had been before the night of the 21st, and which had now become a vegetable market, and the Marquis de Lafayette, who was at the forefront, could not stop the other different voices, and all kinds of shouts rose higher and higher, as if they could be recognized by the majority if they were loud enough......

"We must mobilize all the Parisian burghers as much as possible, call on all the people to take up arms, defend the capital of Paris to the death, and attack the reactionary rebels under Lin Haoda!" Robespierre slapped the table and shouted, but unfortunately, he made a loud noise, but there were few responders......

In this revolutionary parliament, which was in favor of a constitutional monarchy as the general trend, Robespierre's influence could only be regarded as a little stronger than that of 'hehe'......

The Jacobin Club was not Robespierre's name at this time, and Barnaf, Dipole, Jacques-Pierre Brissot, Theodore Lamet and other bigwigs from the Jacobin Club did not mean to deal with Robespierre at all......

In fact, the predecessor of the Jacobin Club was the influential Brittany Club of the Kingdom of France, which occupied a large number of seats in the former Estates-General, and even the Marquis de Lafayette and Mirabeau and other liberal nobles were born in this club, but the Marquis Lafayette took the initiative to withdraw from this Jacobin Club with complex internal composition and various political opinions mixed in after achieving strong personal prestige, and established a constitutional monarchy with liberal aristocrats as the main body.

Realizing that King Louis XVI had bowed his head to the Jacobin Club, the heads of various political forces had co-opted their own people and began to unequivocally promote political ideas, and the scene of the unity and harmony of the Patriotic Party can no longer be seen......

Robespierre's insistence on the offensive was quickly suppressed, and finally merged into a torrent: "We should first rectify the defeated National Guard, recruit trustworthy and revolutionary armed citizens, and then attack the rebels under Lin Haoda, if the attack does not go well, we should wait until the National Guard reinforcements from other cities arrive, and continue to try, in Paris, Lin Haoda's troops will not be replenished with soldiers, if he leaves the capital of Paris, our revolution will be completely victorious!"

As soon as Lin Haoda leaves, we can invite King Louis XVI to establish a constitutional monarchy and correct the name of the National Constituent Assembly, and the rebels under Lin Haoda will never turn over! “

"Yes, time is on our side, the truce is only temporary, and we will never compromise with Lin Haoda, the leader of the rebel army!"

Seeing that the majority of the people agreed to this proposal, Robespierre could not help but stand up anxiously and shouted: "Why do we have to ask Louis XVI, King of the Kingdom?" He has lost the loyalty of the lower classes of the people, and has taken off his sacred cloak, and we can establish a free, equal, and fraternity republic, and take advantage of this God-given opportunity to abolish the monarchy once and for all! ”

Robespierre's shout was not met with much pandering, but instead received a cold gaze, all from the members of the Revolutionary Assembly with the title of nobility!

That's definitely more than two-thirds of the people sitting here!

"Monsieur Robespierre's ideas are too radical to fit the present situation in France, and even the British cannot abolish the monarchy, let alone our France?" This kind of easy suppression of political opponents, but also the opportunity to be recognized by the majority of the people, the Marquis de Lafayette naturally did not let go, and completely vetoed the proposal of the red-faced Robespierre with a light sentence, and received the 'applause' of a large number of supporters of the constitutional monarchy.

The Marquis de Lafayette took advantage of the friendship he had established at this time and spoke his inner thoughts.
