July 14 was the closest the Paris Revolution came to victory, but it was only close, because tens of thousands of revolutionary fighters, including several thousand members of the National Guard, laid siege to the Bastille for more than ten hours on the 14th, but nothing was found!

After the first attack cannon that the National Guard had finally looted was destroyed, even though the follow-up personnel of the National Guard pulled in a few ordinary guns again, due to the insufficient caliber, they could not form a range advantage over the tower batteries of the Bastille, and did not dare to approach the effective range of the Bastille batteries, and they failed to break the thick walls of the Bastille after bombarding for a long time!

During this period, Mayar organized several sieges of the Bastille by the National Guard and armed citizens of Paris, but they were all repelled by the superior fire of the Bastille, and the blood of the Parisian people had stained the trenches outside the Bastille!

This news soon reached the ears of King Louis XVI, who was hiding in Versailles, and a group of nobles who had fled here......

In the Palace of Versailles, Louis XVI received the Bastille, a symbol of royal power, which was intact to block the siege of tens of thousands of armed citizens of Paris, and rarely removed the worried face of recent days and showed a long-lost smile!

On the contrary, the faces of those liberal noble lords became gloomy one by one!

In the royal hall of the Palace of Versailles, a group of court nobles were seizing the opportunity to slap Louis XVI's ass with the victory of the Bastille, saying some useless flattery, and the orthodox queen Maria Antonia Josephine Johanna, who was beside Louis XVI and dressed in a magnificent court dress, could not help but make a meaningful suggestion:

"Your Majesty, those untouchables are a tyrannical beast, and we have endured them enough, and taking advantage of the victory of the mercenaries of the Bastille, we should send all our troops back to the city of Paris, and join the forces loyal to the crown there to flank the stubborn Standing Committee, and to regain the authority that God has given us.

Maria's words immediately silenced the court nobles who only knew how to brag, and the chubby face of the indecisive Louis XVI also became a little confused, although he also hated the mob who initiated the revolution and the standing committees established by the bourgeoisie to snatch his throne of power, but the revolutionary masses were too many, far beyond the mercenaries and guards loyal to the royal family, and Louis XVI was not confident that he could completely defeat the revolutionary masses......

He was afraid that after the defeat in the civil war, he would be guillotined by the angry people!

The Standing Committee set up by the bourgeoisie did not mean to kill Louis XVI, the king of France, but only wanted to obtain the political rights he needed, which made Louis XVI, who felt that he could not win, was very excited!

It's just that, contrary to Louis XVI, who didn't want to fight a civil war, Louis XVI's wife, the youngest daughter of the Queen of Austria, who used to be pompous, money-worshipping, and fond of lavish balls and enjoyment. Queen Antoinette has uncharacteristically become a proud, stern and insistent on the dignity of the royal family!

This pampered Maria. Queen Antoinette, due to her beauty, was given the name of Maria at birth in honor of the Virgin Mary, and Antoinette in honor of St. Anthony of Padua.

It can be seen from this that this youngest daughter was loved by the real power of the Holy Roman Empire, the Queen of Austria!

At this moment, the representative of the liberal noble lords, Duke La Rochefou de Leoncourt, came forward to Maria, who was about to start a civil war. Queen Antoinette accused: "Do you want France to be in ruins in the civil war? ”

The duke then turned to King Louis XVI and said, "Your Majesty, this is not a simple mob rebellion, this is a revolution on a gigantic scale!" If we continue to insist on not following the will of the people, the revolution will extend from Paris, the whole of France will be reduced to ruins in the flames of revolution, and you and I will become lambs roasted in the flames of revolution!

Your Majesty, the Standing Committee of the Hôtel de Ville has responded, and it is only necessary for us to transfer the royal army and return to Paris to negotiate with them, and we can put an end to this revolution that has the blood of the French in its veins! “

"Presumptuous! What qualifications did those lowly people have to be on an equal footing with the French royal family? All the mobs should go to hell to be judged by Satan!! Maria's shrill voice came from the victories of the royal mercenaries of the Bastille, who had given the French mother who had defended the royal power a great deal of confidence, and she had not dared to confront the representative of the liberal noble lords, the Duke of La Rochefoucoul, who represented the interests of the bourgeoisie, and had been encouraging her husband to escape......

However, the victory of the Bastille gave Queen Mary hope of suppressing the revolution!

"Queen, you must know that it is these mobs of hell that you have in your mouth that have driven us out of the capital of Paris! This is not a rebellion orchestrated by a certain group, but a people's revolution!

The people have the right to feed themselves! “

Duke La Rochefoucaul Leoncourt immediately turned into a fighter for freedom and democracy, and looked directly at Queen Maria.

At the same time, the duke and a large number of liberal nobles behind him looked at Louis XVI with oppressive eyes, no matter how resolute the Queen Maria was, it was the orthodox French king who could make the final decision.

Queen Maria, knowing that she was a woman and had limited rights, couldn't help but grab Louis XVI and said in a coquettish tone: "Your Majesty, we can't give in to those untouchables, once the authority of the royal family falls, those mobs will not let us go!" ”

"Your Majesty! The revolution is in the hands of the Standing Committee, and as long as we reach an agreement with them, we can keep all the lives and property of the members of the royal family safe, and the Standing Committee is more than willing to keep the glory of the royal family! ”

Duke La Rochefoucaul Leoncourt stepped forward and pressed.

Louis XVI watched the dispute between the two sides in a dilemma, as for those court nobles, there were many people who supported Queen Maria's remarks, but unfortunately they were soft-spoken, and they could not compete with the power of the liberal nobles!

Louis XVI sighed helplessly under the pressure of both sides: "Let's see the situation of the war, if the Standing Committee wants me to retreat, it must show convincing strength." ”
