211 The myth created by the Marseillaise
Jacques-Pierre Brissot, knowing that the Jacobins and all the democratic political forces could be dispersed to stop the foreign intervention forces from attacking the Kingdom of France, immediately changed course in the Parliament, while the Girondists were initially disturbed by the people and intimidated by the troublemakers!
This act of the Girondists undoubtedly muddied the departure of the newly established Volunteer Army and the National Guard to the border......
At this time, the French government was in turmoil, Lin Haoda was no longer able to control it, and all the old aristocratic forces, big bourgeois and liberal aristocratic forces, as well as the Lamet faction representing the interests of the colonial elite, had unimaginable political power, and the secret organization they raised also put Lin Haoda, who was weak in spy assassins, in a passive situation.

Under the watchful eye of tens of thousands of National Guards, the line warrior infantry regiment in the Palace of Versailles could not act rashly.
Lin Haoda could only watch as the Girondists betrayed the democratic revolutionary forces again, openly declaring in parliament: "If anyone tries to establish a republic on the ruins of the constitution at once, the blade of the law will be stabbed at them, just as it is against those who actively advocate bicameral and the rebels who have been suppressed!" ”
With the support of the king, the Lamet faction and the aristocracy, the Girondists were determined to carry out the constitutional monarchy that relied on the tax system to rule the Kingdom of France to the end, and completely wiped out all democratic political forces!
The Girondists forcibly re-invited King Louis XVI from the Palace of Versailles, restored King Louis XVI's veto and other political rights in the Parliament, and then united with the King, taking advantage of the particularity of the royal power that had not been abolished, and began to forcefully disperse the Montalist politicians and Jacobin politicians in the Parliament.
The timid Robespierre, seeing that the National Assembly had begun to advance in the direction of aristocracy, fled from Versailles overnight, and threatened to expose the collusion of the conspirators in the court and the National Assembly in a safe place, and called on all the French people to launch a second revolution!
When the Girondists suddenly opposed the deposition of the king and disapproved of the proposal for universal suffrage, Robespierre of the Jacobins realized that Jacques-Pierre Brissot was once again united with the king and the aristocratic class, and he secretly wrote a large number of letters 'just in case' to Brittany and Marseille, which were completely controlled by revolutionary forces, to prevent the Girondists from jumping over the wall and forcibly expelling the National Assembly, and re-oppressing the French people under the feet of the aristocracy and big capitalists!
Robespierre did not want the final result of the French Revolution to be a political power for the big capitalists and colonial tycoons, while the French people, who really played the leading role, would be oppressed as before.
On August 10, 1792, under the pressure of the great enemy, the Girondists brazenly colluded with the Lamet faction and the old aristocratic class to forcibly disperse the democratic political forces in the parliament, and wanted to make peace with Prussia and Austria, when the democratic forces led by the Jacobins openly declared that the French royal family was guilty of collaborating with the enemy in the areas controlled by the democrats in the outer provinces of the Kingdom of France, and the French nation would ban the title of the Kingdom of France and establish the First French Republic from today!
In areas controlled by the democrats, such as Brittany and Marseille, there was a massive expansion of militia volunteers and the democratic National Guard, which were collectively called the Union Army because the democrats were so scattered and did not have a unified leadership to commemorate last year's National Guards National Guard Union's holiday.
Facilitated by Robespierre, the Confederates established a secret command to fight against the FAN revolutionaries in the Kingdom of France and to rebel against the Girondist government against the National Guard.
For some reason, the political armed forces on the side of the people are always easy to rebel against the government forces composed of civilians, and just when Lin Haoda and others were about to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight to watch a protracted civil war between the democratic coalition army and the government army, something unexpected happened!
In fact, the coalition army, which has lost the righteousness of the National Assembly, is very weak, the coalition army comes from disconnected local democratic forces, and is outdatedly equipped, full of new recruits, and more fatally, because of the depletion of local finances, the democratic local government is simply unable to expand the coalition forces without restrictions!
This created a very embarrassing situation, and the combined Union forces were just over 10,000......
On the other hand, the armed forces in the hands of the Girondist government and the reactionary forces of the aristocracy all started at 100,000!
And that's not even counting the Prussian and Austrian intervention armies.
No matter how you look at it, the coalition army seems to be pressed to the ground and beaten up, which is why Lin Haoda has always remained neutral, he has no interest in helping the French people to fight for freedom and equality, Lin Haoda from the 21st century knows too well how terrible the people's power will swell after the victory, so that the fan revolutionary forces take advantage of the strong period to suppress the people's power, is the king's way!
However, it was such a military armed conflict with a huge disparity in troops, equipment, and even training, but the result made Lin Haoda and others shatter their glasses......
The most ferocious was the Confederate army from the Marseille region, because its size was only 500 men, Lin Haoda did not pay attention to it at all, and most of his attention was on the Confederate army in Brittany, which had reached the highest number of people.
The Confederate army in the Marseille area, due to its small number and easy to hide, avoided the sight of the Parisian legions and appeared directly on the outskirts of Versailles, and then, a sacred scene happened!
The Allied forces in the Marseille region sang the Marseillaise and without firing a single bullet, they engulfed all the National Guards, who had long been infiltrated by the forces of the democrats!
The commander of the National Guard, who was loyal to the king, was directly detained by his own guards, and tens of thousands of National Guards entered the city of Versailles peacefully under the high Marseillaise, and all the armed forces that were originally loyal to the French government encountered along the way joined their ranks, advanced to the periphery of Versailles, and controlled the seat of the National Assembly!
At the same time, the Confederate army from Brittany was also in full swing, and a large number of National Guards defected to the Confederate army, except for a few troops controlled by noble officers who were easily crushed in the battle of friend and foe, the Confederate army in Brittany gathered democratic coalition troops from other regions and then entered the city of Versailles.
Not to mention Lin Haoda, even the foreign intervention army and the 100,000 elite generals of the Fan Revolutionary National Self-Defense Army who are inclined to the king who stayed in the border area have lost their eyes, everything happened too fast and too fast, and not even a decent battle happened!
Robespierre, surrounded by the coalition army, came to Jacques-Pierre Brissot as a victor, at this moment, Jacques-Pierre Brissot deeply understood the power of the people, and his personal three views completely collapsed to an unprecedented extent, Jacques-Pierre Brissot knew that he was wrong, and he was outrageously wrong, the seemingly powerful king and aristocratic class were simply vulnerable in front of the power of the people!
Of course, there is also the fact that the National Guard was originally from French civilians, and if the 100,000 elite National Guards displayed in the border area were to be displayed, there would certainly not be a defection......
Although the coalition was victorious, it only arrested the aristocracy, not the Girondists, who were also from the middle bourgeoisie, but only ended their political careers and sent them out of the political center of France.
As for the more reactionary members of the Lamettes, they were not affected in the slightest, because the democrats knew very well that the French nation could not do without the economic transfusion of its overseas colonies!
Thus, the political force of the Lamet faction was retained, and it was only a retraction of its support for the king, without any real loss......
After the Confederates entered Versailles and achieved a military victory that shocked the countries of the European continent, the imperialist intervention forces displayed on the border reacted immediately, and the commander of the Prussian intervention forces, Duke Brunswick, drafted a manifesto against the Allied forces, threatening the death of the National Guard and wavering elements who dared to put up 'self-defensive resistance' against the invaders, and he warned the democrats:
"If the King's family is harmed in the slightest, all members of the French People's Club and the League will be bloodied! It will be enough retribution for discipline and eternal retribution! ”
Obviously, Brunswick's manifesto had the opposite effect, and it angered the French people even more......
Of course, before that, the first thing the Confederates had to do was to negotiate with the last armed force of the Palace of Versailles, the Warrior Infantry Regiment of the Imperial Guards.
After failing to infiltrate the Line Warrior Infantry Regiment by disintegrating the National Guard, the Confederates hoped to reconcile with the commander of the Paris Legion, Lin Haoda, whose main enemy was the foreign intervention army, and he did not want to face the powerful Paris Legion head-on.
Today's Kingdom of France is no longer capable of experiencing a civil war, the rebellion of the old forces in the Vendée has not been quelled, the Marquis de Lafayette and other noble generals on the Belgian border are ready to attack with 100,000 elite National Guards, and a large number of reactionary military forces composed of exiles and aristocratic armed forces have gathered in the Rhine area on the eastern border of France, plus the Prussian Intervention Army and the Austrian Intervention Army, the Kingdom of France is already on the verge of extinction!
Originally, if the Girondists were to rely on the situation in power and establish the Kingdom of France led by the big bourgeoisie, the liberal aristocracy, the Girondists and the noble class of the king, the rebellion in the Vendée would naturally dissolve, the foreign intervention army would be persuaded to retreat by King Louis XVI, the elite of the 100,000 National Guard who were inclined to the king would become the cornerstone of the Kingdom of France, and those exiles and aristocratic armies would happily return to their fiefdoms and continue to oppress the French people......
Although it is a little more reactionary, the situation is definitely a hundred times stronger than the French government now controlled by the democrats!
Revolutions often need to be watered with the blood of the people!
