The tall snow-white steed stepped on the blood-soaked dark red soil, and the Marquis de Lafayette, wearing a ribbon, rode his horse and strolled through the post-war land with high spirits, and from time to time looked at the dejected appearance of the rows of foreign mercenaries who had been disarmed and surrendered, and to Lally, who was riding a variegated fur war horse beside him. Torandal laughed: "The National Guard is braver than we thought, isn't it?" Hehe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Larry. Born into an aristocratic family, Torandal joined the revolution and became one of the initiators, a self-proclaimed patriot rather than a loyalist, and much more politically assertive than the Marquis de Lafayette, a constitutional monarchy who preferred to retain the royal family.

Same as Rally. There were a large number of members of the Patriotic Party like Torandal, most of whom were the small and medium-sized aristocracy hungry for political rights, the liberal aristocracy who wanted to get rid of the tyranny of the royal power, the speculative wealthy propertied people, and a small number of high-ranking clergy!

Unlike the patriotic revolutionaries of the Patriotic Party, who came from the burghers and the capitalist class, the constitutional monarchists, led by the Marquis de Lafayette, saw the revolution as their own means, not equality, freedom, and fraternity as called for in the revolutionary slogan!

It can be said that the Marquis de Lafayette, a group of constitutional monarchist patriots, completely regarded the Paris Revolution as a weapon in their hands and promoted it very actively!

The most fatal thing is that the members of the constitutional monarchists in the Patriotic Party, the main body of the revolution, are elite elements who are educated and have a lot of social resources, and they lack nothing more than the political rights of the state.

One can imagine how much initiative these elites will have after they become the initiators of the revolution!

After all, a revolution is different from a peasant uprising in that it is not just a matter of shouting slogans, but that the functioning of a revolutionary government and the organization and command of the army require specialized personnel, which are obviously more likely to appear among the educated propertied and aristocracy......

In fact, as expected, the constitutional monarchy, headed by the Marquis de Lafayette, at this moment completely grasped the leadership of the most powerful force of the Paris Revolution, the elite main force of the National Guard!

The Marquis de Lafayette's victory over 20,000 kings outside the outskirts of Paris pushed his prestige to an unrivalled position!

At the time of the decisive victory of the Marquis de Lafayette, Lin Haoda's army in the city of Paris had not even reached the Paris City Hall!

When the Marquis de Lafayette went on his expedition, the members of the Patriotic Party who leaned towards the constitutional monarchy naturally followed him to the battlefield, and after his victory, the political group headed by the Marquis de Lafayette came to maturity, just like the current Lally. The status between Torandal and the Marquis de Lafayette was superficial, and Lally, who was originally an equal in the Standing Committee. Torandal, at this time, consciously presented the posture of a subordinate in front of the Marquis de Lafayette!

That's the benefit of prestige.

"This time, His Majesty the King, who lives in the Palace of Versailles, should know how to choose, except for a small number of Janissaries, our Majesty the King does not have much capital left." Larry. Torandal echoed the proud Marquis de Lafayette.

The Marquis de Lafayette, who led the National Guard to victory, deserved to be held in such esteem that even if a large number of armed citizens of the National Guard were killed in the battle, the glorious victory would have been enough to silence all disgruntled opposition.

The cheers of the Marquis de Lafayette as he walked along the road and received the cheers of the soldiers of the National Guard!

"Haha, of course, I have already told Meunier to go to Versailles to meet our Majesty the King, and I believe it will not be long before we receive news that Louis XVI will return to Paris with his queen." The Marquis de Lafayette said with a spring breeze on his face, and he had already begun to calculate the list of candidates for his own constitutional government after welcoming King Louis XVI back to China.

Lally, who was the initiator of the revolution. The two hardcore constitutionalists of Torandal and Meunier will definitely have to take up important positions, and there will be many liberal aristocrats with a lot of resources and connections, and those middle-of-the-road but very wealthy capitalists and bankers will also be co-opted as much as possible, and as for the Jacobins headed by Robespierre, how far and how far will they go!

Giving them a few members of the Constituent Assembly would already be considered the 'chancellor' of the Marquis de Lafayette, and he would be very lenient.

Of course, the Marquis de Lafayette was willing to give seats to these Jacobins who genuinely looked out for the interests of the lower citizens, not out of his own 'conscience', but simply to appease the overnumbered lower class of sans-culottes......

As for the position of the Marquis de Lafayette, he is naturally the speaker of the National Constituent Assembly, which is about to be reorganized and gain power, and the 'prime minister' of the French court!

He will be the future Kingdom of France's 'hero of the two worlds' that merges the aristocratic class and the burgher class!

Just as the Marquis de Lafayette was inspecting the post-war clean-up work and fantasizing about how he would realize his political ambitions in the Kingdom of France in the future, a herald in a white military uniform hurriedly ran up to the Marquis de Lafayette and saluted and reported: "General, news has come from the city of Paris that the town hall has been captured by mercenaries loyal to the king in the Bastille, and the headquarters of the Standing Committee has been temporarily moved to the Jacobin Club. The revolutionary situation in the city of Paris could be reversed at any moment! ”

"Yes, I see." Marquis Lafayette frowned slightly, waved his hand and sent the herald back.

He pondered for about a minute before facing Lally. Torandal said: "I will give you 30,000 men, you take them back to stabilize the situation in the city of Paris, do not seek to defeat those Bastille defenders, just ensure that most of the city of Paris is in the hands of the revolutionary forces, even if the Bastille defenders can fight again, they will be at most a few thousand, it is difficult to achieve full control in the urban area of Paris full of revolutionary armed citizens, your army is the banner of the armed citizens of Paris to insist on resistance." ”

"Yes, I see." Larry. Torandal should be the way.

"Keeping the city of Paris in its current state, I will now go to Versailles with the main force of the National Guard, and when I return to King Louis XVI, we will be victorious.

The counter-offensive of the Bastille defenders is our chance to win the hearts and minds of the lower classes from the radicals of the Patriotic Party, and if we do it well, the future National Constituent Assembly may not even think of Robespierre, and we will have complete control of the National Constituent Assembly, as well as the right to lead the whole of France! The Marquis de Lafayette said confidently.
