Chapter 115: The Terrifying Side of the Revolution! Rise from the ashes!

"I bet!" William. Thomson didn't hesitate much, he immediately agreed to the bet!

"Mr. Thomson!" Next to Sellers. Field was shocked, but soon he calmed down again, for Mr. Thomson had just spoken to Clint Clint Brown. These things that Lee said were like Clint. Lee is definitely going to die, right?

"Good!" Li Mengyang just nodded slightly, then said good night and turned to leave.

That's it? Is that all there is to a bet?

Don't need to swear to God? Not the whole high-five for the League?

"Mr. Thomson, are we going to win this bet?" After Li Mengyang left, Field's face immediately became much more relaxed.

"Win? Haha......" Thomson laughed, "Mr. Field, do you really think it's a bet?" ”

"Huh?" Field was stunned.

"Hey~" I only heard Thomson sigh and said: "Where is this gambling contract, haven't you understood it yet?" ”

It didn't take long for Field to be there, and it dawned on him!

That's right, isn't the content of this bet that if he Clint . . . Lee didn't die, then you Thomson are going to work for him!

To put it simply, then this is what people are tactfully telling you William. Thomson, as long as I live for one day, then you have to do a day's work for me, anyway, these are the 7 meanings, so does Thomson still have a choice?

You have to gamble, or else it's the same, Clint. If Lee dies, then Thomson has a chance to be free, otherwise it is the content of the bet, then Thomson chooses no matter what. Aren't they all the same?

So. Our Lord Kelvin heard it clearly. He did so, but what is the point of this 'revolution is death'?

Why is that? And why did Li Mengyang know about this, so he had to do this?

Field, a capitalist, really couldn't understand these things at all, because if it were him, he would never do this. That's stupid, isn't it?

……

Back in the carriage, Li Mengyang had a smile on his face, because he had already received the exact answer from Lord Kelvin, and it was okay, this scientist was indeed a smart man.

However, what people say is right, revolution is very dangerous, and if you don't get it right, you will be swallowed up by the flames of revolution!

Li Mengyang couldn't help but think of something he had studied, that is, the French Revolution......

When I was in junior high school and high school. The description of the French Revolution is extremely positive. It is definitely praised, because the positive meaning of the revolution, we Chinese are deeply aware of it, but.

There are still places in the revolution that we can't see!

The positive significance of the revolution, which is naturally to promote the development of society, is indeed quite positive, but when we understand it in depth, then the price that needs to be paid is not something that everyone can bear.

As a monk who studies the history of the party, Li Mengyang has had an in-depth study of the French Revolution, because this is a history that cannot be bypassed, and someone's book is specifically mentioned, that is, Tocqueville, and the more he researches, the more Li Mengyang discovers that this revolution is really not a dinner party.

Where did the French Revolution begin?

We all know that it is from the Bastille, but the question is that there are really political prisoners in this prison as mentioned in the book?

It's those seven people, and the well-known erotic/erotic novel author is the most normal guy, and that's it.

However, at the time of this event, the Estates-General were going on in Paris, and the so-called Estates-General were not held casually, of course, as we all know, the first estate was the clergy, the second was the nobility, and the third was the petty bourgeoisie and the peasant representatives.

The third level is to say first, we will not play with you anymore, but who is the leader of this third level?

One is named Emmanuel. Joseph. The man of Siyes, he led the Third Estate, and he also had a book called "On the Privilege of the Third Estate", but this man was a priest!

The first rank!

The Bastille had just been stormed, and Mr. Lafayette, the embodiment of French freedom, participated in the American Revolutionary War and made great contributions to the revolution of the American people, Mr. Marquis, who went to the Bastille first, drew his sword, and shouted that he would defend the freedom of France with all his life!

What about the Dharma King at that time?

In our textbooks, this Louis XVI is not a thing, he must be a counter-revolutionary, right?

But the historical fact is that Louis XVI was very supportive of the French Revolution at that time, because the reason why the Estates-General was held was actually to solve the problems of the country, that is, Louis XVI actually wanted to open a knife to the aristocracy, and now that the Revolution is coming, the people are going to rise, then this is helping Louis XVI.

Li Mengyang knows very well that as far as we Chinese really understand this history, there are actually very few people, and most people think that the king and his wife are big bastards and villains.

The real history is that the kings of Europe were actually on the side of the lowest class of the people, and in the serfdom country of Tsarist Russia, the tsars all proclaimed, 'I am the loving father of the peasants'.

This is not only what the emperor is saying, but the people at the bottom believe that during the French Revolution, there was a Vendée rebellion, which was actually a peasant rebellion, but not a rebellion against the emperor, but a rebellion against those revolutionaries!

The great writer Hugo has a masterpiece called "93 Years", which is written about the Vendée rebellion, and if you really read this book, you will know that the lower class people really support Louis XVI.

Of course, after the translation of this book into our country, all the editions, prefaces, and comments that Li Mengyang saw were all saying, 'This novel writes about the ignorance of the French peasantry', 'The people at the bottom did not recognize the meaning of the revolution'...... With all kinds of words, the peasants became the target of the royalists' foolery, and they aided and abused them, but is this really the case?

Moreover, the Estates-General were to be convened by Louis XVI, who actually wanted to tax the nobility. In this way, the country's financial problems will be solved. But here's the thing. He's not easy to handle. As soon as the revolution came out, the aristocracy that was targeted at the beginning could achieve his own goals from it, so what reason did Louis XVI have to oppose the revolution?

In this way, the first estate supports the revolution, the second supports the revolution, and the third estate wants the revolution. The emperor also agreed with the revolution, and the French Revolution should be smooth sailing, overcoming obstacles, and establishing a perfect new world without hindrance!

Yes, that's what people thought at the time, but what happened next?

At first, he wanted to establish a constitutional monarchy, but when this thing came out, Louis XVI was frightened, because there was a disturbance among the Parisians who forced him to return to Paris. Public opinion is raging, and the personal safety of the emperor is really not guaranteed. So, a king, he was afraid, so he ran, but he didn't make it, and he went to the guillotine!

After that, the Girondists came to power, and as a result, the Girondists all had empty theories, but they couldn't do anything, and things at home and abroad were not settled, because at this time the French king died, and the royal family in Europe actually had relatives, and they were a family, so if they couldn't stand it, they would interfere, and there was an 'anti-French alliance' in the whole of Europe.

When the Girondists killed the French king, they naively thought that if they killed this emperor, then the constitutionalists would be doomed, and the monarchs of other European countries, those interfering forces, would also die down, and as a result, they would stab the hornet's nest.

Under the leadership of the Girondists, the French army was defeated and retreated, so they also stepped down. The Condorcet mentioned earlier by Thomson is of this faction, and his name is the 'torch man of the French Revolution'!

Later, it was the Jacobins who came to power, and after this faction came to power, it was one word, kill!

During the time when the Jacobins were in power, France was literally bloody, let's say the guillotine in Paris, and hundreds or thousands of heads had to be rolled out every week.

At first, it was to kill the aristocracy, those nobles who were not very supportive of the revolution, such as the famous scientist Lavoisier, in fact, the ancestor of chemistry only said a little disagreement, and then there were free aristocrats.

The free aristocracy is the aristocracy who supports the revolution themselves!

The representative figure is the Condorcet, who was a Girondin and mastered revolutionary theory, and his "Outline of the History of the Progress of the Human Spirit" was the revolutionary program of the French Revolution.

But that doesn't work out, you are not determined in the revolution, and he is a marquis.

Kill!

There was also a famous Madame Roland, the wife of the great artist, who was also guillotined, and before the execution, she shouted a sentence, which was particularly famous.

'Freedom! How many people have done all the bad things in your name! ’

It should be said that Gironde is a political enemy of the Jacobins, so if you kill it, you will kill it, a political enemy. But then, who did he kill?

The Jacobins themselves have the theory of the triumvirate, which are Robespierre, Dandon, and Marat.

Marat was assassinated!

What about Dandong? He didn't think it would be okay to kill like this, so he said, 'Looks like something is going to go wrong, right?' ’

So, he also went to the guillotine!

Yes, you kid is not firm in his revolutionary position!

This is also why, when he was in the New York City government before, Li Mengyang saw such an illusory bill, and he still agreed very much, because he did not agree, that is, the revolutionary position was shaken, and the result was ...... The example of Marat, Dandong is right in front of you.

Eventually, Robespierre himself was guillotined, and the French Revolution entered the Directory, and then Napoleon, and now, in 1861, Napoleon III ruled France.

The above are all the bad sides of the French Revolution, and there are rivers of blood, but Li Mengyang actually looked at this revolution fairly, that is, there is also a good side.

The French Revolution did promote the social development of France, and those who were liberated and destroyed the old system did greatly improve the social productivity of France. Let's just say that the current Napoleon III, this is an extremely strange guy, but such a person rules France, and now France is still one of the most powerful countries in the European continent and even the world.

Moreover, the reason why Napoleon was able to sweep through Europe was also because of this great revolution, and also because the people were liberated and society progressed, otherwise he alone fought a great war?

However, the bloody side has too much to do with Li Mengyang!

What is Li Mengyang's current position in the New York Revolution?

Condorcet!

The torchbearer of the New York Revolution!

So with the development of the Revolution, the matter of losing the head...... Can Li Mengyang save himself?

Someone will surely say, that was the French Revolution, isn't it the New York Revolution now? You Li Mengyang will not be so sad and have your head cut off, right?

No!

Li Mengyang's answer is really this, he knows very well that if he follows the normal development of a revolution, then his Li Mengyang's life is really in jeopardy!

For example, the New York Revolution and the French Revolution were supported by many, many people at the beginning, and capitalists and government officials joined them, and they actually played the role of the first and second estates in the French Revolution.

In fact, there is no way to do this, this is caused by objective conditions, the people at the bottom have strength, but this force needs to be guided, there must be such a person, and the people at the top naturally have advantages, they have knowledge, can make speeches, and have financial resources,......

After that, it's basically the same, anyway, for all kinds of reasons, the two revolutions will develop in the same pattern!

That is to say, at the beginning, it was to kill the counter-revolutionary, then to kill the political enemies, and then to kill its own people, that is, the revolutionary wall-riding faction...... Are we Chinese not familiar with these things? Can Li Mengyang not be familiar with it?

Fortunately, we were actually much better than the French back then, and they directly cut off their heads, and we are only ten years old, and France is still making trouble.

In those ten years, Mr. Mao couldn't control it, and now, he Li Mengyang can control the Americans' 'revolutionary enthusiasm'?

Once the flame of revolution is ignited, it is definitely not easy to extinguish, and revolution is never a dinner party!

Besides, he has a natural disadvantage, and that is that he Clint . Lee is a Chinese, a natural minority in the United States.

In this way, there is a dead end!

Others seem to be a dead end, but Li Mengyang doesn't see it that way!

Li Mengyang is definitely not an internationalist fighter, he will never dedicate his great head to the great revolution of the American people, but he must do this, he must carry out such a huge revolution here in the United States, because only by doing so can his personal interests and his real goals be realized!

This is called, seeking wealth and danger, leaving it to die and then rebirth!

So what will Li Mengyang do? (To be continued......)
