I watched Er Chuang’s short video, and everything went numb!

Chapter 161

【According to the general response methods, iron-blooded suppression is inevitable】

【However, facing the collective rebellion of three levels, Louis XVI showed his most deadly side: indecision.】

【He neither agreed to the conditions of the National Assembly nor immediately launched a strong crackdown.】

【Instead, they convened an emergency meeting and led the conservative ministers to verbally attack the National Assembly and denounced what they had done.】

【After the meeting, Louis XVI declared that the National Assembly violated the law and asked it to dissolve itself.】

【However】

【When his order reached the National Assembly, the interim leader of the National Assembly Bai Yi responded:"The National Assembly cannot accept this order."】

【then】

【Louis XVI personally visited the National Assembly and delivered an impassioned speech in an attempt to persuade the representatives of the National Assembly, but there was silence and no one responded.】

【The scene is very embarrassing】

……

"mediocrity."

In the Great Qin plane, Qin Shihuang shook his head slightly. In this life-and-death situation, he still wants to solve the problem by means of accusation and persuasion.

It is really too naive.

Yes.

In the eyes of Qin Shihuang, when the National Assembly openly threatens, a constitutional monarch must be implemented When the monarch was in power, the relationship with the monarch was a matter of life and death.

In this situation, the monarch's direct army must be mobilized immediately to carry out an iron-blooded suppression.

After the situation is completely controlled, we can talk about other matters.

……

【After the speech failed, Lu Shiliu changed his approach】

【On the one hand, he made concessions to the National Assembly and expressed his willingness to implement a constitutional monarchy. But on the other hand, he secretly mobilized 30,000 soldiers to enter Paris secretly, intending to suppress potential uprisings.】

【But unfortunately, Louis XVI and his men were very poor. Their actions of mobilizing troops were not hidden from everyone. When the news leaked, the National Assembly and the citizens of Paris were angry.】

……

The plane of Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Shimin and the officials of the Tang Dynasty were all speechless.

At such a crucial, life-and-death moment, to act so secretly can only be said to be too incompetent.

"This person's defeat is certain."

Li Shimin said calmly.

"What is said is absolutely true."

Changsun Wuji and others nodded in agreement.

……

【They asked the king to mobilize troops, but Louis XVI refused. Bing said that he would use the army very cautiously and that the purpose of mobilizing the army was just in case.】

【02At this time, various rumors began to spread in Paris.】

【For example, the king plans to overthrow the National Assembly by force, or the king has secretly contacted foreign countries, and foreign legions are about to arrive to participate in the suppression.】

【To make matters worse, the city's food reserves were completely exhausted.】

【As a result, the hungry citizens who couldn't bear it anymore and had no other way out launched a three-day uprising.】

【In order to fight against the king's army, the rebel team needed a large number of weapons. They first occupied the Invalides and found 28,000 rifles and more than a dozen cannons, but no ammunition.】

【So, they thought of the bus prison】

【The Bastille was originally a fortress built during the Hundred Years' War, and was later transformed into a prison for political prisoners, where a large amount of ammunition was stored】

【Moreover, there are only 82 prison guards and 32 Swiss Guards guarding it, which is weak.】

【On July 14, the revolting citizens of Paris placed cannons under the gates of the Bastille, and the defenders immediately surrendered without any fierce resistance.】

【After capturing the Bastille, the rebels got enough ammunition they wanted and completed all weaponization from ideas to materials.】

……

The plane of Ming Taizu.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said:

"This Louis XVI is really too incompetent"

"Even such an important place as the weapons depot was not heavily guarded."

He felt that any emperor with a clear mind should know how to firmly control the weapons arsenal.

However, Louis XVI had no corresponding defensive arrangements at all, allowing the rebel army to obtain the most critical weapons and ammunition.

In addition to being stupid and incompetent, He couldn't find other words to describe it.

Zhu Biao on the side agreed very much with his father Zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation of Louis XVI.

As the leader of a country, this series of responses by Louis XVI was undoubtedly unqualified.

……

【It stands to reason that the uprising of the citizens of Paris and the storming of the Bastille should have had a great impact on Louis XVI.】

【But Louis XVI had no idea that these things were happening because he never received the notice.】

【He spent the day hunting and went to bed early at night. Therefore, in his diary on July 14, he also wrote the famous sentence"Nothing to do today.""】

【By the time he learned about the uprising, it was already midnight】

【When the Duke of La Rochefoucauld came to report, Louis XVI, who was woken up, asked sleepily:"Is this a riot?"

The Duke of La Rochefoucauld replied in a panic:"No, Your Majesty, this is Revolution!"]

Barrage flew out:

"Haha, nothing to do today, classic quote"

"Classics will last forever"

"……"

Many ancient people throughout the dynasties were confused.

They felt that Louis XVI's heart was too big.

How long has it been since then, and there is still time for hunting in a leisurely manner.

It's simply outrageous

……

【For hundreds of years, the heavily guarded fortress of the Bastille has been a symbol of the feudal royal power of the Gallic Kingdom, as if it can lock all opposition voices firmly within its solid walls.】

【But when the Paris citizens who took up arms walked up to it, they just needed a gentle push and it collapsed.】

【Along with the collapse, there was also the illusion of Louis XVI wanting to make a comeback by force.】

【Three estates stood against him at the same time, and the citizens of Paris had completed their armed】

【Officers in the army have also lost control of the grassroots army, and even many soldiers have joined the rebel army】

【Now he is a"loner" in a literal sense】

【As a result, he ordered the troops to withdraw from Paris and wore a tricolor cap badge to show his support for the constitution.】

【In the following time, he agreed to almost all the proposals put forward by the National Assembly, including the abolition of feudal privileges, the abolition of royal annuities, the abolition of the nobility's tax exemption rights, the confiscation of church property, the abolition of the tithe tax that had been handed down for thousands of years, etc.】

【On August 26, the famous"Declaration of Human Rights" was adopted, formally establishing a series of principles that affect the process of human civilization such as natural human rights, freedom and equality, and the sanctity of private property.】

【These principles were written on the first page of every Gallic constitution thereafter. 】

The barrage flew out:

"Human political civilization has opened a new chapter, the greatest document in human history"

"Liberty leads the people!"

"Great moment for mankind!"

"The beginning of modern civilization!"

"Everyone stand up, a glorious page in human history!"

"……"

Watching the film and television mixed-edited images of the video on the giant screen high in the sky.

Many common people throughout the dynasties, especially those who have a certain amount of knowledge and like to think, have become excited for no reason.

That picture.

Someone was reading aloud the core ideas of the Declaration of Human Rights.

Because it is a mixed-edited version of a translated film, it is dubbed in Chinese, so ancient people can understand it.

Listening to the shocking declaration sentence by sentence, many ancient people were deeply shocked.

In fact, these points were also mentioned in previous videos.

But at this time, coupled with the special background of the Gallic Revolution and the presentation of film and television clips, it gave the ancients a different impact.

Some people began to think more deeply about the connotation and significance of these declarations.

This is a complete denial of the idea of feudal imperial power.

The emperors of the past dynasties looked at this scene and were once again shocked and angry.

Such a scene is something they extremely don't want to see.

It simply set a very bad example for the people of their respective dynasties.

Not only in thought, but also in action

"What nonsense!"

Many emperors shouted angrily.

But no matter how angry they were, they could not stop the video from being played.

They could not stop the people from watching.

They could only be helpless and furious.

……

【So far, everything seems to be going on the right track】

【The National Assembly has never considered abolishing Louis XVI. What they have always wanted is a constitutional monarchy where the sun never sets.】

【But it's a pity that Louis XVI fled】

【In June 1791, Louis XVI and Queen Antoinette secretly fled from Paris, planning to go all the way east to join his uncle, Emperor Leopold II of Austria.】

【But he was discovered by the National Guard in the border city of Varennes and"escorted" back to Paris.】

【As soon as the news came out, public opinion was in an uproar】

【The people of the Gallic Kingdom believed that they had been betrayed by the king, and there were endless calls for the trial of Louis XVI.】

【two months later】

【Prompted by Leopold II, Prussia and Austria issued a joint statement stating that the Gallic government must guarantee the safety and status of Louis XVI and his family, otherwise they will intervene with force to achieve this goal.】

【The following year, war broke out】

【In August, the Prussian-Austrian forces, led by the Duke of Brunswick, entered the Gallic Kingdom.】

【In September, the Allied forces captured Verdun, a short distance away from Paris.】

……

"Gaul is in danger."(To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

Such thoughts came to the minds of ancient people of all dynasties.

A great internal turmoil had just occurred, and they were faced with the invasion of the coalition forces of two enemy countries. How to deal with this?

A Careless.

Maybe the Gallic Chicken Country will be carved up by the two countries.

Yes.

The ancients did not think that Prussia and Austria would help King Louis XVI of the Gallic Chicken Country for free.

They felt that these two countries must be taking advantage of the situation.

……

【At this critical moment, incredible unity broke out across the Gallic country.】

【Volunteers from all over the country gathered in Paris to defend the newfight for political power】

【At the Battle of Valmy on September 20, the French Revolutionary Army repelled the Prussian-Austrian coalition and completely drove them out of the Gallic Kingdom.】

【This victory greatly boosted the morale of the citizens of Gaul and convinced them that they had the ability to defeat any hostile force.】

【The next day, the news returned to Paris, and the First French Republic was officially proclaimed.】

【The road to constitutional monarchy was completely blocked, and Louis XVI's life came to an end.】

【On January 21, 1793, Louis XVI walked into the Place de la Revolution in Paris in the cold wind.】[]

【There, waiting for him, was the guillotine that he had personally designed and improved.】

【Louis XVI calmly walked onto the guillotine and left his last words to the people in the audience. I am not guilty, but I forgive my enemies. May my blood appease the anger of God.】

【Let's talk, the guillotine fell, and the most controversial king in the history of the Gallic Kingdom passed away at the age of 38. 】

The barrage flew out:

"He's also a decent person"

"Death by a product designed by oneself, is this considered the reincarnation of fate?"

"It is said that this guillotine was improved by Louis XVI in order to make the death of prisoners less painful."

"Putting the emperor on public trial and guillotining is awesome!"

"……"

Accompanied by narration and subtitles, video clips of Louis XVI's public trial and execution by guillotine appeared on the video screen.

Watch this scene.

The common people of all dynasties were shocked.

The scene of an emperor of a feudal dynasty being publicly tried by the people and publicly executed for treason in front of everyone was too shocking to the ancients who also belonged to the feudal dynasty.

Not that it was that rare for an emperor to be killed.

But this way is too shocking.

In ancient China, the emperor was known as the son of heaven and had supreme authority.

For example, if the rebellious ministers and traitors want to kill the emperor and usurp the throne, they can only do it behind closed doors.

In ancient China, it could be regarded as an unspoken political rule that the emperor could not be executed publicly.

The consequences of killing the emperor in public were serious.

For example, the Sima family killed Cao Mao on the street, which left a long-lasting reputation in later generations.

And now, the king of the Gallic Chicken Kingdom, the emperor of the Gallic Chicken Kingdom in the eyes of the ancients, was publicly tried and beheaded.

This gave a huge psychological impact to many people in the past dynasties.

In a sense, it was a violent and bloody way that directly broke their psychological awe of the emperor and imperial power. at the same time. The charge of 450 treason has also made some people think about who the country belongs to?

Is it the emperor and the royal family, or the common people?

And, is it the country or the emperor that they want to be loyal to? the other side.

In many dynasties and planes, many emperors have unswerving expressions.

There is a saying that things harm their own kind.

Although Louis XVI was the monarch of the Gallic Kingdom, they still felt that this was an extremely treasonous thing.

Why did ancient China have hidden political rules that prohibited the killing of emperors in public?

It is because no matter who becomes the emperor, he hopes to maintain the authority and sanctity of the emperor as a group.

Therefore, the scene before them was something they extremely did not want the people of their respective dynasties to see. even.

Many emperors are still panicking in their hearts at this moment.

This great revolution of the Gallic Chicken Country was different from the founding history of the Eagle Country that they had seen before.

The Eagle Country is a new country established from a colony.

This great revolution in the Gallic Kingdom completely demonstrated a revolutionary process from thought to practice with the purpose of overthrowing the feudal monarchy. and.

This process was initiated by the people, what they call the common people.

This made many emperors even more worried.

They were worried that the people of their respective dynasties would imitate them.

"This giant screen... ugh."

Many emperors looked at the giant screen in the sky and sighed heavily.

……

【The king is dead, but a huge problem faces the new republic】

【How can they build a new society?】

【Even if you look through the classics left by the Enlightenment, you can't find the answer to this question.】

【Because whether it was Rousseau, Voltaire or Diderot, they were literati, writers, and philosophers, but none of them had ever truly managed a country.】

【Therefore, the solutions they proposed are difficult to solve some practical problems.】

……

Many emperors had wandering thoughts.

It is difficult to conquer a country, but it is even harder to sit on it.

Governing a country is not a simple matter.

If this so-called republic fails to govern the country, does it mean that they were wrong to overthrow the monarchy?

That must be it!

These emperors thought of the scene at the beginning of the film.

A new emperor was crowned.

This means that the republic ultimately failed.

Their mood became a little happy again.

But soon, they thought that the Gaul Chicken Kingdom that became the Wuchang in later generations seemed to have no emperor.
