Chapter 158: The Unwillingness of the Old Forces

On the night of August 4, the National Constituent Assembly, which was urgently convened due to the pressure of the peasant revolution in other provinces, had just opened an appeal against a liberal nobleman, who was the Viscount Noaille without any aristocratic property, a nobleman's youngest son, who could not enjoy the inheritance property and feudal property of the nobility according to the aristocratic law, so it can be said that the abolition of aristocratic privileges had no effect on him, and could fill the heart of Viscount Noailleh, who had not received the benefits of aristocratic privileges, with the pleasure of 'equality'.

He proposed the abolition of all tax-paying privileges, the abolition of forced labor, perpetual property and other personal servitude, and the redemption of property rights!

As soon as Viscount Noaille's proposal was recognized by the National Constituent Assembly, his noble brother, who had been on his toes all day long and had the right to inherit, would be relegated to his own talents.

What a beautiful offer of equality.

Viscount Noaye thought happily in his heart, he had had enough of the grievances that he couldn't get a single hair as a young son of a nobleman!

In later generations, Viscount Noaye is a typical angry young man who is dissatisfied with the status quo of society, but he is a very smart angry young man who knows how to turn his dissatisfaction into reality!

As for the last redemption of property rights, it was added temporarily to meet the needs of the liberal aristocratic class, and he proposed that the deprivation of rights would have little impact on the liberal aristocrats who integrated into the bourgeoisie, although it would still lose some more or less, and the redemption of property rights meant that the liberal aristocracy could reduce their losses from the people as much as possible by 'selling', and even make a sum of money to invest in capital construction.

Unlike the ecclesiastical forces and the old feudal aristocracy who only knew how to eat income from estates and territories, the liberal aristocracy could create wealth as long as they had cash!

Once these privileges are deprived, even if the church and the feudal aristocracy obtain a large amount of one-time wealth, they will lose their long-term roots, and the feudal aristocracy and church power who will not invest in setting up factories will only use the one-time wealth they have obtained to maintain their own decent life, and gradually lose their family wealth over time!

As soon as this suggestion was made, it was immediately supported by the Duke of Egilon, who had the power to censor.

The victory of Viscount Noaille in abolishing privileges undoubtedly encouraged the new class members of the National Constituent Assembly who were afraid of the old forces, and this opening suddenly led to the climax of the abolition of all kinds of privileged taxes!

Led by some liberal aristocrats and constitutionalist capitalist bigwigs, they were able to control the National Constituent Assembly not only by a few of them, but by their own prestige to suppress the votes of the parliamentarians who followed them, as a result, those small parliamentarians who did not have much interest in the old forces seemed to have ushered in a carnival belonging to the people, and with the cooperation of a large number of like-minded parliamentarians one after another, they found that they were not suppressed by the bigwigs from above, and completely let go of their own shackles.

You must know that the National Constituent Assembly has the largest number of small people, and there are only a few bigwigs of various factions, and when they relax the restrictions, these small people are naturally very willing to abolish all kinds of old power privileges that they cannot get.

Human beings are sometimes like this, what they can't get, they often don't want others to get, and equality and justice are the slogans for their ends.

Several bigwigs who were willing to obstruct the maintenance of the order of the National Constituent Assembly, after thinking of the grim situation in the provinces today, tacitly remained silent, they did not want to be the culprits of the outbreak of the civil war!

And the way for these bigwigs whose interests have been damaged to comfort themselves is to first temporarily pass these agreements, wait for the rebellion in the provinces to be quelled, and then pass new legislation to recover their losses little by little, as long as the French government is in control of the National Constituent Assembly, what will become in the future is not up to them?

Thus, when the National Constituent Assembly was in session until about 2 o'clock in the morning of the second day, all the privileges of the ranks, provinces and cities, were sacrificed to the altar of the fatherland.

The right to hunt and raise rabbits (European aristocrats are sometimes really idle eggs, and this thing is also a privilege!) The right to keep pigeons, the judicial power of the lords, and the system of selling officials and lords were all abolished, and the huge class of church monks was forced to give up the greatest source of wealth, tithes.

At the end of the National Constituent Assembly, convened on the night of 4 August, there was a splendid formal ceremony that broke with the past, and the Assembly declared Louis XVI "the re-builder of French freedom."

The administrative and political unity of the country, which had not been achieved by the autocratic monarchy, has now been completed, and the old system is gone forever!

King Louis XVI was also avenged on the eve of the Revolution, when King Louis XVI was squeezed by the clerical class and the feudal aristocracy, and the success of the French Revolution was achieved precisely because these two most powerful old power classes remained neutral!

The arrogant feudal aristocracy and the ecclesiastical forces finally paid the price for their revolutionary indulgence, and after they gazed with schadenfreude at King Louis XVI, who had lost his autocratic power, the French government dug away the roots of the two old forces overnight on August 4!

Lin Haoda, who was taking the army to enjoy the free logistics supplies provided by the French government, slowly returned to Paris like an outing, and soon received the result of the resolution of the National Assembly after the night of August 4.

In the Mail de Provence, published in front of the French people, Mirabeau declared, in an official tone, that "all the work of the National Assembly after 4 August is aimed at restoring the legal authority of the kingdom and assuring the people of happiness that they will enjoy immediately the first benefits of freedom, in order to ease their uneasiness." ”

This was to tell the rebellious people in the provinces that the National Constituent Assembly would do what it said in the future on the abolition of all privileges and excesses, so that the peasant uncles who had taken up arms could go home and wash and sleep......

Lin Haoda looked at the results of the resolution of the National Constituent Assembly sent by Menier in disbelief, this resolution has no impact on the French Foreign Legion, although Lin Haoda is an honorary baron, but he is really just a baron with no 'honor', and what aristocratic privileges and various taxes have nothing to do with Lin Haoda is a dime......

After the results of the resolution of the National Constituent Assembly, the delegation led by Mounier naturally fulfilled its mission, and the French government announced the abolition of aristocratic privileges and taxes, pacifying the people, and the repression was naturally canceled......

Moreover, the impact of this resolution of the National Constituent Assembly is too great, which is equivalent to cutting off the root of the old forces of the Kingdom of France at once.

If it is too late to go back, the National Constituent Assembly will really click its privileged interests during the implementation of the resolution, and there will be no place to cry......

After all, this is only a resolution of the French government, and although it has been publicly announced, it has not yet been documented and recorded in legal form!

The reason why Lin Haoda was surprised was mainly because he didn't expect that the National Constituent Assembly, which was filled with a large number of aristocrats, really had the courage to cut it down......

Jia Xu's prediction seems to have begun to come true!

As soon as this resolution came out, even amateur politicians like Lin Haoda knew that there would inevitably be chaos and turmoil within the French government!

Is it true that those old power classes are the mud legs of the bottom? On the surface, the military power of the old forces is simply unable to confront the French government, which occupies the general righteousness and public opinion, but these old power classes that have been mixed with the upper class all the year round, once united, the connections and other forces mobilized are quite terrifying!

To put it bluntly, the people can only rely on rebellion and riots if they want to pursue their own interests, but if the upper echelons want to pursue their own interests, there are many ways!

After all, laws are made by people, and even the constitution can be changed, not to mention that this resolution is only used to calm public grievances and obtain justice?

It is definitely not okay to go back on the surface, it is too obvious and hated by others, and it will force the people to 'burst beans'......

But secretly adding clauses in favor of the old forces or something, it depends on how strong the forces of all parties are in this political turmoil, this is a war without gunpowder, not a war that belongs to Lin Haoda, but Lin Haoda knows very well the greedy faces of the old forces bosses, they are merciful if they don't take power from the government, how can they endure this August 4th resolution that severed the foundation?!

It is not clear how powerful the old power class is, but he can be sure that in any case, the National Constituent Assembly, which has already issued a resolution to abolish privileges and exorbitant taxes, will no longer be able to overturn its own resolution, that is, no matter how powerful the political force of the old power class is, it is an established fact that their interests will be damaged!

How will this greedy and murderous old power class react when they find that no matter what they do, they will not be able to return to the happy life they used to have?

The old power class is not a 'family, one surname' French royal family, this is a huge French dignitary group and the ecclesiastical power with religious weapons, such a large and deep-rooted old power class is impossible to eliminate without relying on massacres and wars, and the old power class, which has lost its fundamental rights, will not bow to this resolution of the French government when it still has power, so ......

Thinking of this, Lin Haoda couldn't help but think of Jia Xu's previous analysis, the seeds of the confrontation between the two classes have begun to sprout, and the next time is the time to blossom and bear fruit!
