After the Marquis de Lafayette lost his prestige in the National Constituent Assembly because of his reckless introduction of the hereditary House of Lords and the king's veto, the Marquis de la Fayette was defeated by Barnaf, Dipole, Alexander, and Charles. Morality. The majority of the Constitutional Monarchist patriots, led by Lamet, became the absolute majority of the National Constituent Assembly, in which they forcibly abolished the bicameral proposal and passed a veto to curry favor with King Louis XVI.

The actions of these constitutional monarchist patriots, who temporarily held the majority of the votes in the National Constituent Assembly, greatly co-opted the old power classes and suppressed the radicals representing the lower strata of the people, compared to the Marquis de Lafayette's faction, who only lost the leadership of the National Constituent Assembly, the democratic patriots were almost completely squeezed out of the National Constituent Assembly, and the democratic patriots who barely remained in the National Constituent Assembly became a minority, unable to vote on any constitutional proposals that they thought were beneficial to the people!

At the beginning of September 1789, the democratic patriots, who had lost ground in the National Assembly, opened a large number of newspapers among the people, and the city of Paris became the center of political activity of the democratic patriots.

Gorsa's "From Paris to Versailles Post", Lustarlo's "Revolution in Paris", Brissot's "Patriot de France", and even the most influential and sharpest words, have faintly become the "Friends of the People" founded by Marat, the bastion of the old forces attacked by the democratic radicals.

After the democratic patriots lost power in the National Constituent Assembly, these newspapers and periodicals began to agitate the people, especially the people of Versailles and Paris, who were under the nose of the French political center, and became the main targets of the democratic patriots.

Marat was the first to point out the main culprit in the "Friends of the People" that at this time France was in financial difficulties and the living conditions of the people had not eased:

"Today, when the horrors caused by the famine have reappeared, and the people are short of bread, and the bakers' shops are surrounded by people, and after the best harvest, even in the midst of abundance, we are on the verge of starvation, and there is no doubt that we have been surrounded by traitors who are doing everything possible to destroy us, and that we have suffered this calamity precisely because of the madness of the enemies of the people, the greed of the monopolist, and the incompetence and disloyalty of the magistrates?"

This article, written by Marat, caused an uproar among the French people, and this article exposed the loopholes in the previous laws of the National Constituent Assembly abolishing privileges and taxes that deliberately took care of the interests of the old power classes, and aimed the finger directly at the aristocracy, the big bourgeoisie, and government officials!

Because what Marat said was a secret that could not be told in the French government, the fooled French people only had to think a little about it to know the root cause of why they continued to be burdened with alternative taxes and did not have enough to eat as before!

The democratic patriots who have lost the National Constituent Assembly have gone completely crazy, and they have recklessly used their propaganda tongues to expose to the broad masses of the French people all kinds of dirty political dealings in the French government, as well as acts of profiting at the expense of the interests of the people!

In the midst of this political storm, Lin Haoda did not wait long, and in mid-September, a fierce comment in a patriotic tabloid became the fuse that ignited the riots of the people of Paris and Versailles!

"Parisians, open your eyes! Wake up, from your sleep! The aristocracy has surrounded you, and it is trying to put chains on you, and you are still sleeping! If you do not destroy it quickly, you will be enslaved, miserable and ravaged. Sober up! Again: sober up! ”

As soon as this article was published, the people of Paris and Versailles spontaneously gathered, holding a small number of muskets left behind by the last revolution and all kinds of cold weapons, and gathered at the town hall and the Palace of Versailles!

The people's revolt came so suddenly, the patriots of the constitutional monarchy, who were enjoying the fruits of their victory, the royal party of the Marquis de Lafayette, and even the hardcore old power class loyal to the king, did not have time to organize an army to suppress it, and the people's movement blocked almost all the neighborhoods!

In just half a day, the town hall appointed by the National Constituent Assembly lost its authority, and the police force controlled by the Paris city hall completely disappeared in the face of the people's riots, and the Paris police did not even have the courage to meet the mob head-on!

The mayor of Paris in the town hall, after receiving the news of the people's movement in advance, hid with his personal belongings, and the National Guard stationed in Paris did not dare to do anything in the face of the people's uprising, except to retreat in their own station, and the rioters naturally did not attack those military camps that had no political significance, such as the fortress of the Bastille!

The citizens of Paris simply dismantled the weakly guarded government departments and elected democratic patriots to reorganize their own citizens' councils.

The victory of the people of Versailles was even greater, they directly surrounded the Palace of Versailles with all kinds of weapons, and if it were not for the royal army loyal to the king to stay in the palace of Versailles, I am afraid that King Louis XVI would have been dragged out by the rioting crowd......

The sudden popular movement gave a bolt from the blue to the old power classes and the constitutional monarchist patriots, and the National Constituent Assembly was forced to reconvene at Versailles, and a large number of democratic patriots returned to the National Constituent Assembly at the appeal of the majority of the burghers.

The aristocratic representatives of the old power class, fearing the French people who were afraid of the riots, did not dare to go to the National Constituent Assembly, and fled the political center of France directly with their own property, while the attention of the people who were not effectively organized was focused on the Palace of Versailles and the government departments, and did not hinder the fleeing nobles.

A large number of old power aristocrats, who had gone into self-exile out of fear, left the National Constituent Assembly vacated most of the seats representing the old power classes, which were well filled by the democratic patriot deputies.

As for the patriots of the constitutional monarchy, who were already weak and wavering, they were willing to make any compromise as long as the rebellious people agreed to keep King Louis XVI!

The agitated crowd did not mean to hang King Louis XVI, they were only angry at the government's deception and the problem of not having enough to eat, they knew that after the revolution, King Louis XVI no longer had much power, and the rebellious people, under the guidance of democratic politicians, only forced the constitutional monarchists to compromise and retreat, so that the National Constituent Assembly returned to the hands of democratic patriots.

The constitutional monarchists who have seen the power of the people have completely dispelled the careful thinking of uniting with the old power aristocrats, who are very rich, but no matter how much money they have, they have to spend their lives!

The ability of the French government after the revolution to respond to the riots of the burghers was so weak that the police force spontaneously disbanded in front of the crowd, and the National Guard stood by with a cold eye, and the only ones who really dared to take up arms against the crowd were the hundreds of guards who defended the life of King Louis XVI!

Of course, these guards did not dare to open fire on the crowd unless they had to, not out of conscience condemnation, but simply because the crowd was too large......

In the reorganized National Constituent Assembly, which excluded a large number of representatives of the old power aristocracy, King Louis XVI was forced by the crowd to approve all the paper documents that had previously refused to sign, and the constitutions that had been jointly abolished by the old power class and the constitutional monarchist patriots were formally adopted by all members, and the rioting people cheered, they once again achieved a political victory with their own actions, and it was a bloodless victory!

The crowd that thought they had won dispersed happily and went home, leaving behind a group of constitutional monarchist patriots with a remnant of fear on their faces, King Louis XVI with a pale and disappointed face, and even the democratic patriots who sat in the seats of the National Constituent Assembly and celebrated each other's victories with a twinkle in their eyes!

Even though the most powerful constitutional monarchists still have a majority of seats in this incident, they have lost the hearts of the people, and most of the constitutional monarchists no longer dare to continue to cooperate with the old power class and even the king in order to protect themselves......

As for the old power class, they were completely defeated in this incident, and there were only three small fish left in the National Constituent Assembly, which were worse than the democratic patriots who were excluded at the beginning......

The only one who stayed out of the matter may be the royal party headed by the Marquis de Lafayette, because the Marquis de Lafayette has long since stepped down from the ruling position, so it has avoided the accusations of the people's movement this time, whether it is the opposition democratic patriots or the common people, they have put the blame on the ruling constitutional monarchist patriots at that time, and no one will care about the royal party that has failed.

What everyone didn't know was that the Marquis de Lafayette, who had lost his rights, looked at the identity of these exposed democratic patriot bigwigs, and an earth-shattering coup storm began to brew in his heart.

The patriots of the constitutional monarchy have been completely divided, and the old power class of the king's line has been almost completely frightened away by the popular movement, as long as the democratic patriots in power are killed, the Marquis de Lafayette is confident that by virtue of his position as commander-in-chief of the National Guard, he will return to the pinnacle of power in the French government!

This time, he will no longer believe in the so-called political routine, he wants to use iron and blood to seize his rights, the failure of the original bicameral proposal, made the Marquis Lafayette go from one extreme to the other, because he thought of the legendary experience of the rise of Lin Haoda, an outsider!
