Chapter 373: The Birth of a Democratic Republic

Since the signing of peace treaties between the Han Empire and the countries of the Anti-Han Alliance in the 47th year of the Han Dynasty, the European countries participating in the Anti-Han Alliance have fallen into an economic and political downturn. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Forty-eight years after the Great Han Dynasty, the side effects of the war gradually expanded, and more and more white people became poorer, if it were not for the help of other European countries such as the Holy Roman Empire, which had not broken their bones and bones, to sell grain at low prices, I am afraid that the European countries that had been anti-Han alliances would starve to death of hundreds of civilians!

The signs of civil unrest in France also began in the 48th year of the Han Dynasty!

The outbreak of the French Revolution was in the 49th year of the Han Dynasty, a year of hunger and economic retreat, and finally in the 49th year of the Han Dynasty, it broke out from the capital of France, depriving the initiator of the French king Louis XVI of his life, and incidentally bringing the nobles and rich capitalists and wealthy merchants in Paris to an unreasonable robbery campaign!

For the first time, the poor people of Paris have their own carnival!

What decision will be made when the poor who occupy the majority of the entire country who cannot eat, see that the poor people who were once similar to themselves have successfully overthrown the lords of the upper class and turned themselves into masters?

The answer is very clear, join the revolutionary ranks, fight the local tyrants and divide the land!

Inspired by the armed citizens of the Paris capital, they quickly put on themselves a relatively regular national guard army name, these national guards are not once only known to smash and rob the uneducated mud legs, although many Parisian citizens are a little poor, but thanks to the preferential policies of European countries that attach importance to education, many people have studied and understood some truths!

It's the real horror that cultured people are fanatical!

What is even worse is that the revolutionary masses in Paris have long since fully absorbed the concepts of freedom and equality put forward by all kinds of European thinkers who sympathize with the poor, and know that the true meaning of revolution is to divide all land equally among the majority of the poor and seek better welfare for the working class!

As a result, the National Self-Guard of this group of madmen has a clear goal of struggle, and even the abbreviated revolutionary slogans are shouted in a good way!

"Freedom! Equal! Divide the land, bring down the evil aristocratic class, and bring down the big capitalists who exploit the people! ”

In the streets of Paris, even ordinary civilians without weapons are waving everything they can and shouting revolutionary slogans frantically......

Dressed in a beautiful blue military uniform, a boat-shaped cap, and a flintlock pistol with bayonets, he sang and danced with the masses of revolutionary supporters on the streets of Paris, celebrating the victory of the revolution!

If Zhao Dutian saw this scene, he would definitely exclaim, 'Military and civilian family'!

One can imagine how high the morale of the National Guard is......

On the other hand, there was a long queue at the recruiting point of the National Guard, and some timid poor and petty burghers at the outbreak of the revolution, seeing the victory of the revolution and the death of King Louis XVI, were seduced by the stirring spiritual and material fanaticism, and immediately became the supporters of the proletarian revolution!

With the establishment of the National Guard, the news of the success of the Paris Revolution spread, and the already depressed French army collapsed under this uprising of the poor!

It's not that they can't beat the mud legs, it's that the soldiers don't have the point of fighting anymore!

Even, many soldiers fled from the barracks at night and took their weapons to join the revolutionary ranks!

The big soldiers in the French army were originally from poor people, so they naturally yearn for the poor people's revolutionary team!

Many small units of French troops stationed in towns and towns, even those middle and low-level officers, defected, as long as they were not the damaged interests of the big nobles and big capitalists, all changed their appearances, and the banners were torn up, and the army that was originally loyal to the king became a revolutionary army!

All of a sudden, the new National Guard on French soil was like a beacon fire, everywhere!

This revolution was undoubtedly a success!

The National Guard in Paris moved quickly to take over the revolutionary ranks that had changed their banners in various places, and all of France, except for a few bastions of aristocratic territories, was taken over by the revolutionary army without any fighting!

As for the well-informed big capitalists and other rich people, they fled France one step ahead of schedule and easily siphoned off a large amount of money belonging to the French government!

However, the fanatical French revolutionaries did not care about these details, and the wealth of the plundered nobles and tyrants was enough to sustain the army and the government for a long time!

You must know that the revolutionary contingent is formed spontaneously, and there is no need for military salaries, as long as it is enough to be well fed and clothed!

In this way, the French Revolutionary Army, which was in a good situation, proclaimed the First French Republic in the capital of Paris!

The republic implements a system of separation of powers, and uses the constitution to greatly weaken the power of the nominal supreme consul of the republic, and the government formed by the outbreak of revolution of the people, which regards the rights of individuals to the death, will never allow the emergence of a dictatorial and oppressive system again!

It's a pity that the idea is beautiful, the reality is skinny, the French First Republic, where the upper class of society has been almost completely destroyed, can't find enough talents with administrative experience and governing ideas, although the government is established, but the entire First French Republic has become a mess, except for the army that marches into the remnants of the aristocratic forces on French soil, the political economy of the entire French First Republic is a mess!

If it weren't for the windfall from the revolutionary army, the First French Republic would have been declared bankrupt when it was founded!

The First French Republic is like a burning candle, when the fuel is abundant, the whole country is immersed in the outbreak of fanaticism, the factory workers can spontaneously go back to work for the free and equal motherland without a boss, not to mention the peasants, who used to plow the land for the nobles, but now they plough the land for themselves, and the enthusiasm is compared.

However, although the social order has barely stabilized, if there are real professional personnel counting the First French Republic, it will be found that on the surface, it seems that the people participate in the work and the army independently, but the real social value created is not as good as the previous period when Louis XVI was in charge!

Although the capitalists and aristocrats are indeed hateful in some places, if they lack these knowledgeable and capable upper strata figures, they will still have a tremendous impact on the productive forces of society, unless a strict proletarian party is really established, and a large number of talented cadres are used to fill the state defects caused by the vacancies in the upper strata of society!

It is a pity that the First French Republic had only revolutionary ideas, but no full-fledged revolutionary party!
