Chapter 372: Spreading the Frenzy
Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info The foreign mercenaries are desperate to find that the rioters in Paris are fighting more and more, and these rioters have looted the arsenal and their weapons have begun to be fully upgraded!
Gradually, the foreign mercenaries were driven out of the city by the armed citizens of Paris, and fled in disarray, and the difference in numbers between the two sides was too great......
As for Louis XVI, when the angry citizens of Paris stormed the Louvre, the political center of France, there was not a single guard loyal to the king left......
Louis XVI was pulled out from under the bed in the Louvre by armed citizens, and it was rumored that Louis XVI's armed soldiers in Paris had smelled urine on the body of His Majesty the King......
Well, it's just a rumor......
At this point, the absolute monarchy in France was basically dismantled!
This time the Paris uprising was completely spontaneous among the petty burghers, and there was no clear leader, let alone the French aristocracy, and even those bourgeois bigwigs, who had no way to start!
However, this time the revolt of the lower burghers was different from the previous peasant uprisings, because they had already been inspired by the patriotic version of the idea of freedom, equality and democracy, and the victorious people of Paris, France, excitedly shouted the slogan that made the monarchs of all Europe gnash their teeth - hang the king, eliminate the nobles!
Although the bourgeoisie has contradictions with the traditional aristocracy, in fact, many bourgeois bigwigs have bought aristocratic titles with knighthoods, commonly known as the new aristocracy.
The chaos in Paris continued, and after Louis XVI was caught, the excited citizens of Paris armed him and hanged him in public!
At the moment of Louis XVI's death, the entire lower classes of the people of Paris became irrational and fanatical!
At this time, a voice that was very much in line with the mentality of the Parisian burghers appeared: kill all the nobles, divide their property among everyone, everyone is equal, free and republic!
You must know that at this time, the armed citizens have seized the entire capital of France, a huge Paris, and some of them have weapons for these citizens to use, and even field guns can pull out several pieces!
It can be said that the current armed soldiers are not much different from the regular army in terms of equipment alone!
Although they have some defects compared with the regular army, such as not being systematically trained by the army, they have an advantage that is incomparable to the armies of the whole world - morale!
This time, the armed citizens are no longer fighting for the king, nor for the nobility, but really for themselves, for freedom, for the division of the property of the nobility and the capitalists!
Yes, the fanatical armed soldiers naturally included the fat-headed and big-eared bourgeois bigwigs in the list of raiders......
Of course, there are calm people here who try to make the fanatical crowd more reasonable, but the Paris Revolution is the climax of morale, and the minds of the majority of the people are already filled with the victory of the revolution and the imminent division of property, and whoever tries to stop them at this time is the enemy of liberty, equality and access to wealth!
For the oppressed low-level citizens, whether it is freedom and equality in the vague sense, or the division of aristocrats and big capitalists with real material interests, it is the most urgent thing to desire!
Whoever doesn't let them do that is their enemy!
The citizens of Paris, who had been fighting with Louis XVI's foreign mercenaries for several days, had already been red-eyed, their hands were stained with blood, and they had no limits or fears for the law and murder!
So, those who tried to calm the big guy down were mercilessly arrested and followed their dead king to God on the gallows where Louis XVI was hanged......
Whether it was Zhao Dutian or the kings of European countries when they got the news, they all felt incredible, and everyone could understand the revolution and uprising, after all, so many people had starved to death in France......
It may be a bit surprising that France was able to win the revolution, but the bigwigs of other countries can attribute it to Louis XVI being too weak, but it is a bit incomprehensible that after the revolutionary burghers killed Louis XVI, the king, the next target to kill them directly became their own people......
However, the fanatical armed citizens of Paris do not care whether the damned feudal monarchs can understand that they only do what they want, even if it costs them their lives!
In this way, one after another sane people who persuaded everyone to calm down and not to cause irreparable damage to the order of Paris were sent to the guillotine and gallows, and after dozens of calm people died one after another, the remaining sane people came to their senses, and now is not the time to calm down, but the time to save their lives!
As a result, in order to save their lives, calm people also disguised their fanaticism, and as a result, there were no more rational people in the revolutionary ranks, or it could be said that they did not dare to ......
After happily dealing with the internal problems, the citizens of Paris began to follow up to their great delight - to expand the revolution and divide up the property of the tycoons!
In the eyes of the fanatical citizens of Paris, the rich are natural enemies, and the poor are natural brothers!
Of course, the poor were more than happy to join the revolutionary ranks and call themselves brothers and sisters to these fanatical armed citizens, because that way they would have enough to eat!
And then these new poor people were also infected with a fever!
Fanaticism is a very easily spreading emotion!
Because it is easy to understand, and if you divide your property among local tyrants, you can understand it!
First of all, the aristocracy of Paris and the slow-running big bourgeoisie fell into the blood mold, and one by one they were rushed into their homes by armed citizens with bewildered faces, forced to kneel on the ground at gunpoint, and told where their possessions were hidden......
The victimized aristocrats and big capitalists are indeed innocent, because they are not in league with the royalists!
Naturally, armed citizens do not care about such inconsequential trivial issues, their task is to identify the nature of those local tyrants, who have oppressed the masses of the people and hang them, and those who are not oppressed cannot be pleased, and all of them are sent to factories and other places as coolies......
The feeling of turning over and being the master is simply refreshing!
Watching the big men who are usually high up in the sky doing the hard work they used to do in the factory, the fanaticism of those small citizens has exploded again!
The most important thing is that the poor and small citizens who participated in the revolution all benefited from the fight against local tyrants, some of them got property, and some of them got land!
In short, everyone is equal, and everyone who works together in the revolution is beneficial!
Such a good thing, naturally, had a great appeal, and as the revolution expanded, the poor of France all over France were infected with fanaticism!
