207 Declaration of Pillnitz
The agitated local masses pushed the Kingdom of France to the brink of a national revolution again, however, the bourgeoisie of the National Constituent Assembly remained calm, fearing a peasant uprising and at the same time fearing the urban popular movement......
In fact, the National Constituent Assembly, after completely depriving the king of his rights, began to prevent the development of democratic forces without any scruples, fabricated the fiction of the kidnapping of the king's family, and shouted that the constitution was the guide of France, and that the National Constituent Assembly was the center of the people's rights!
Despite the outcry of Democrats such as Robespierre, King Louis XVI was still able to avoid prosecution, as was the case with Maria. As Queen Antoinette had expected - the untouchables wanted to kill the king's family, but the bourgeoisie in power did not want to see the king's crown fall!
Meunier and other nobles were labeled as scapegoats, but unfortunately, Meunier and others had long since disappeared without a trace, and the case ended hastily......
Naturally, Meunier fled to the city of Paris and was hidden by Lin Haoda as a political representative to recruit the French capitulation faction in the future!
Despite the betrayal of the king and the danger of the nobility, the bourgeoisie of the National Constituent Assembly always believed that the state should be the state of the propertied people, for whom the revolution was over and could not be allowed to begin again!
The French people, guided by the radical Cordeli Club, held frequent petitions and demonstrations, and gathered in public squares in major cities to openly make anti-government statements!
The Cordeli Club and the Jacobins strongly advocated the complete transformation of the Kingdom of France into the French Republic, and the execution of the King's family who had betrayed the interests of the nation!
Finally, the bourgeoisie-controlled National Constituent Assembly issued martial law in order to suppress the increasingly majestic people's movement, and the National Guard, all loyal to the bourgeoisie, began to break into all kinds of crowded places of people's movement and shoot at the unarmed crowd with impunity!
This was followed by even more brutal repression, with the arrest of many radicals, the forced cessation of many pro-democracy newspapers, the official closure of the Cordeli Club, and the escape of the Jacobin Club, which for a time was left without a leader, an event that the French people called the 'tricolor' terror, because the banner of the bourgeois National Guard, which imposed martial law, was the red, white and blue!
The brutal bourgeois repression finally suppressed the revolutionary enthusiasm of the people for the time being, but such a brutal and inhumane act split the bourgeoisie itself!
The political power of the Girondists was much less than before, and a large number of politicians were alienated by the brutal repression of the people, some of them joined the 'moderate' democrats led by Robespierre, that is, the Jacobins, and some joined the bourgeois democrats, the Monters, and so on.

However, the politicians, who were mainly composed of big capitalists and liberal aristocrats, were very supportive of the Girondists' repressive policies and began to move closer to the Girondists, and Brissot, in order to maintain the authority of the Girondists in the National Constituent Assembly, began to merge and reorganize with the constitutionalist enlightened aristocracy and the big capitalists who supported the king.
Brissot's compromise saved a political crisis from the collapse of the Girondins, who continued to adhere to the model of the Kingdom of France, defending their threatened cause, and insisting on the political superiority of the tax-paying bourgeoisie!
At the same time, in order to consolidate the strength of the bourgeoisie in the National Guard, the Girondists stipulated that all new soldiers of the National Guard must come from active citizens and above!
In the face of the bourgeoisie, which had mastered the armed forces, the people were left with their bare hands, and relations between the Girondists and King Louis XVI were softened.
This is no loss to Lin Haoda's side, but John can no longer lead the troops openly**Maria. Queen Antoinette......
This undoubtedly made John lose a big interesting thing in his life, but John had secretly obtained Lin Haoda's assurance, as long as the time was ripe, Maria. Queen Antoinette can be his 'good'.
The repercussions of the Varenne affair among the French people, as Jia Xu had expected, caused a great shock among the European monarchs, and the King of Prussia exclaimed: "What a terrible example! ā
However, the formation of the intervention army was once again blocked by the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, because the respective interests of the monarchs intended to far outweigh the unity of the monarch, and there were too many miscellaneous matters within the Holy Roman Empire, so that the emperor could not organize a large-scale intervention army, and it was already the limit of Austria to maintain tens of thousands of military deterrence on the border......
However, the inability of the monarchy to send an intervention army does not mean that they can tolerate this incident, and the European monarchs jointly issued the Declaration of Pillnitz in order to justify the declaration of war by the intervention army in the future, which intimidated the French Revolution!
The King of Prussia and the Sovereign of Austria jointly declared: the necessary military forces are ready to act at any time!
This act frightened the French people, and in disguise made the French national feelings even more excited!
Lin Haoda knew that the Kingdom of France in such a situation was like a balloon with enough gas to expand, and if it didn't find an outlet, it would explode and fall apart sooner or later!
Lin Haoda knows very well that the bourgeoisie of the French government is not stupid, and sooner or later it will be clear that the French national contradictions in this state must find an outlet, and the French people have already pointed out the catharsis to the French government, that is, the king's defected 'teammates' - the Austrians!
The split in the bourgeoisie intensified by the Pillnitz Manifesto, which in the new National Legislative Assembly led to the successful entry of the seemingly docile Jacobins into politics, and Robespierre, the veteran revolutionary leader, once again sat prominently in parliament.
The Jacobins, who were supported by a large number of small and medium-sized capitalist politicians, reached the peak of their political power in history.
In the National Assembly of the Kingdom of France, the Jacobins had become the third largest political faction, and Robespierre replaced the Cordeli Club, which had been completely suppressed by force, as the new political agent of the sans-culottes.
The second largest party was the slightly more radical bourgeois democrats, commonly known as the Montagnards, and the Jacobins and Montagnards often united in the Legislative Assembly against the Girondists, the 'lackeys of the monarchy'.
Nowadays, there are not many political forces in parliament that really fully support the king's line, so the Girondists, who are willing to compromise with the king's aristocratic class, have become the biggest obstacle to the establishment of the republic!
However, the Girondists were also divided into several groups, such as the Lamet faction, which represented the big capitalists and the liberal aristocracy, and the Brisso, which represented the compromise capitalist class, and so on, and the Legislative Assembly became more complicated than ever, and there were even three members of the former Cordeli Club who participated in the parliament with Jacobin politicians, nicknamed the 'Cordeli Gang of Three'......
The three of them have little influence in the parliament, but they have great prestige among the people's groups!
The National Assembly of France, which was deeply divided, was no longer able to suppress the Paris legion, which was a force of its own, and Lin Haoda was able to restore the city of Paris to its pre-war state with peace of mind under the cover of the chaotic French Kingdom Parliament!
With the exception of the artillery factory, which required a large number of skilled craftsmen to rebuild, all the other arsenals and other auxiliary facilities were completed in late 1791 with the financial support of the Kingdom of France, and began to accumulate various military war materials.
At the same time, Lin Haoda also used a large amount of Paris legion salaries to hoard military rations on a large scale, and in Jia Xu's plan, the French government on the verge of a volcanic eruption was bound to break out in 1792 at the latest, and if the French government did not wage war with the outside world, there would be a military conflict that no one wanted to see inside!
In this crisis-ridden situation in the Kingdom of France, another bad news reached the political center of the Kingdom of France - Saint-Domingo, an important overseas colony of the Kingdom of France, broke out in a black uprising, and the black slaves who could not bear slavery turned the entire island of Saint-Domingo into a battlefield!
The French government, which was unable to suppress it, once again added a heavy burden, and the raw materials for coffee, sugar, and rum produced by Santo Domingo rose sharply throughout the kingdom of France, and these were all living materials!
This set off a series of serious economic turmoil, and the French people, who believed themselves in charge, began to force excessively high prices to lower the prices of shops, and there were vicious incidents of smashing and looting in various places, and from late 1791 onwards, robberies of grain trucks and markets were frequent.
The Girondists had been hesitant to intervene in prices in order to ensure the interests of the propertied people, and although the Montagnardists and Jacobins strongly advocated that the Legislative Assembly impose prices on grain and essential daily necessities, they were rejected by the Girondists, because imposing prices would be contrary to the fundamental principles of a free economy and would greatly damage the interests of the capitalists engaged in industry and commerce!
Under this social threat, there has been a severe local assault on the city hall to kill mayor-level government officials who refuse to lower prices!
The Girondists enshrined these men as martyrs, claiming that they had defended the sacred French constitution with their lives, the fundamental interests of the propertied people......
However, the Girondists did not have a good solution other than that, because the rise in prices was nationwide and they did not have the ability to suppress the entire French plebeian class!
