Chapter 77: The King's Bow

The fall of the Paris City Hall did not bother the Marquis de Lafayette, but on the contrary, he saw a new opportunity to seize power, and the seats in the National Constituent Assembly, which had to be reorganized after the upcoming king bowed his head, had to be reserved for the lower radicals in the Patriotic Party, perhaps he could take advantage of this failed battle to put a full 'basin' on the heads of the main lower-level radical bigwigs who led the town hall at that time, and trampled them under their feet and squeezed them out of the National Constituent Assembly!

This will undoubtedly greatly enhance the authority of the constitutional monarchy, and the more power the constitutional monarchists control, the Marquis de Lafayette, who has become the leader of the constitutionalists, will naturally rise in status!

And the Marquis de Lafayette took 60,000 elite main forces of the National Guard that had been tempered by the war and retrained by him to the Palace of Versailles, and brought back the glory of King Louis XVI at his fingertips.

As for the Bastille garrisons in the city of Paris, it was not a big problem at all, as long as the king bowed his head to the reorganization of the French government, the Bastille garrisons were left with only two paths, surrender and be dissolved by the new government, or resist to the end and then have a hearty suicidal civil war with the whole of France......

Without the king's support, the whole of France would quickly come under the rule of a new government, when the constitutional-controlled regime would be able to defeat the recalcitrant Bastille garrison with a single order, and then mobilize the army and material resources of the whole country to encircle and suppress it......

Unless Lin Haoda can really defeat the whole of France, it will be a tragic end of dying and being labeled a traitor......

And to defeat the whole of France, even at the end of the 18th century, it would take at least hundreds of thousands of troops to have any hope, and France as one of the European powers is not a joke......

So, as long as the commander of the Bastille garrison is not a fool, surrendering and accepting the orders of the new government has become almost the only option!

Therefore, according to the normal way, the Marquis de Lafayette is already invincible, and King Louis XVI cannot continue to resist the siege of 60,000 National Guards, unless he intends to gamble with the determination of the Marquis de Lafayette with his crown and the net worth of the entire royal family.

You must know that the interior of Versailles is not united, the feudal nobles and high clergy who sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, as well as the liberal nobles who are on the side of the revolution, will not follow Louis XVI to resist to the end, if Louis XVI is desperate under the siege of the National Guard, a palace coup in Versailles is not unusual!

After all, the main force of the king's mercenary army, which supported the king and queen, as well as a large number of noble officers who were close to him, had been completely defeated by the Marquis de Lafayette, and the king's guard was nominally loyal to Louis XVI, but the noble officers in the guard had their own families......

The superficial form of this revolution was initiated by the citizens of Paris at the bottom, but who among the bigwigs staying in the Palace of Versailles did not know the real meaning behind this revolution?

If the civil war is really prolonged, I am afraid that the growing national armed forces will really allow the sans-culottes to fight a political force of their own......

Among the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie, there are still many smart people.

The war really can't be expanded any longer!

Even if King Louis XVI didn't think it through for a while, those liberal nobles would make Louis XVI clear!

When the news of the defeat of the main force of the king's army reached the Palace of Versailles, the main force of the National Guard of the Marquis de Lafayette came to Versailles slowly, and the liberal nobles led by the Duke of La Rochefouco Leoncourt forced an audience with King Louis XVI!

"Your Majesty, the revolution is unstoppable and has the support of the majority, and France cannot continue to bear the civil war!"

Louis XVI slumped in his chair and listened to the persuasion of the Duke of La Rochefould de la Rochefoucaul with a sad face.

Maria on the side. Queen Antoinette, with a slightly pale face, replied: "We still have ...... with the Bastille guards."

"Your Royal Highness, be sober, even if the thousands of people in the Bastille win a great victory, they will not be able to fight against the thousands of French civilians who want revolution, for the sake of France, for the sake of the people, we should make appropriate concessions, the Marquis de Lafayette is a very moderate gentleman, as long as His Majesty the King agrees to 'cooperate' and supports the reorganization of the National Constituent Assembly, and returns to Paris, this revolution will dissipate invisibly, and the whole of France will usher in a harmonious and beautiful tomorrow!"

This time, even Maria, who hated the revolution. Queen Antoinette was also speechless, the facts were in front of her, what else did she have to say?

Just Maria. The inexplicable glint in Queen Antoinette's eyes expressed her inner reluctance and ...... Fear of the future!

Duke La Rochefoul saw the silent royal couple and emphasized again: "Your Majesty, most of the people in the revolutionary government recognize your sacred position and will not deprive you of your crown, they only need their rightful authority, and the anger of the people needs to be calmed, so ......"

Before the Duke of La Rochefoucaul Leoncourt could finish speaking, the voice of Louis XVI suddenly came: "Well, I agree with your resolution, I am willing to reorganize the National Constituent Assembly and return to Paris to meet my people." ”

The liberal nobles, led by the Duke of La Rochefoucaul Leoncourt, were overjoyed, and the nobles knelt down on one knee and shouted: "God bless my king, your wise decision will change France forever!" ”

Louis XVI didn't know whether he should cry or laugh as he knelt down before him again......

Of course, whatever they wanted, at least they were loyal to the Bourbon family at heart, and their opinions were almost equal to the political ideas of the Marquis de Lafayette, the commander who led the National Guard to defeat the King's army, and his own crown was preserved after all......

King Louis XVI comforted himself inwardly.

However, Maria, who stood aside. Queen Antoinette had only one thought left in her mind - to hope that the Marquis de Lafayette would indeed be as 'gentle' as the rumors had made it......

In this way, before the Marquis de Lafayette's army besieged the fortress of Versailles, the fate of the whole of France had come to an end, and the news of the king's bow reached the ears of the Marquis de Lafayette and the French capital behind him - Paris!

From the beginning to the end, no one paid attention to the question of the survival of Lin Haoda's arm......
