Chapter 256 The beast comes out of the cage
Soon, the French High Court also responded, saying that it only supported the third-level meeting of ninety years ago, which was even more harsh than the Palace of Versailles.
In Paris, the most delightful thing in the third level was Marshal Vaubon's book "Introduction to the Kingdom Title". This booklet was widely circulated, and almost every Frenchman who read the word came. Bourgeois (notaries, journalists, lawyers, doctors and other middle-class people) in the third level discussed it enthusiastically in the cafe, and there were also young and energetic people promoting this booklet to illiterate workers and poor people in the square.
The French therefore believed that their demands were not selfish, but a patriotic initiative, and were responsible for France.
In this country that has been shrouded in feudal autocracy and theocratic politics for thousands of years, and when modern civilizations such as nationalism have not awakened, it is very important to be consistent with the political views of the aristocratic people.
"Marson, where is our hero marshal?"
On this day, in the square in Paris, a young man asked loudly after a laundry owner read and explained the "Introduction to the Kingdom Title" in the introduction to the kingdom.
Yes, Marshal Vobon, where is this marshal who devotes his life to defend France, and where is this hero who offended the loyal half-life monarch for the benefit of the third level?
People flocked to the Marshal's private house in Paris, a simple house that was not worthy of his noble status according to French standards. In order to find the Marshal, Baron Montesquieu stopped them and told them that the Marshal personally drove to the Palace of Versailles before the king set out to expedition and helped him escape. Marshal Vaubon's servant also came forward to express that he had never come back after going to the Palace of Versailles that time.
The Parisians flocked to the Palace of Versailles and demanded that Marshal Vaubon be handed over. On the way, Montesquieu stopped them and expressed such an attitude that was not conducive to communication. So he decided to select several representatives to go to the Palace of Versailles. However, when the representatives arrived, they only received a cold answer. Marshal Vaubon collided with King Louis and should stay where they should stay. This answer obviously did not satisfy the Parisians, and soon the two sides clashed.
This conflict was the self-decision of the officers of the Imperial Guards. Because the crown prince and several great nobles were going to hunt, the Imperial Guards arrested them in order to avoid being punished and were not good at doing things. Louis XIV arrested them even though he didn't know about this conflict.
As a result, that night, the Parisians were angry, and they were angry at the arrogance of the nobles and their contempt for the third level.
Rescuing Marshal Vaubon and his representatives became the only appeal of the angry Parisians. When they rushed to Versailles again, the answer they received was that the disrespectful person went where they should go.
Where will they be? The answer is actually a remote room in the Palace of Versailles, where Marshal Vaubon, Baron Montesquieu and others are temporarily under the supervision of this place.
But the Parisians don't think so. In their memory, they bumped into the nobles, and were retaliated and murdered and detained was a landmark building in the city of Paris - the Bastille Prison.
This was originally a fortress, but with the expansion of Paris, it became a building in the city. In the eyes of Parisians, the Bastille Prison represents imperial power, feudal autocracy, and oppression of the third level.
So, the Parisians who shouted to rescue Marshal Vobon rushed to the Bastille Prison. There were only more than 30 defenders in the prison. The nobles who guarded did not dare to provoke tens of thousands of furious Parisians. They neither dared to resist nor opened the door. They just mean that Marshal Vobon was not in the Bastille Prison. The soldiers were also afraid and shouted wildly that the Parisians retreated.
But in the noise of tens of thousands of people, these were all regarded as clamoring. A craftsman climbed over the city wall, opened the suspension bridge, and tens of thousands rushed in, disarmed the guards, and killed the noble generals who were intending to organize.
They did not find Marshal Vaubon and several representatives, and they rescued only four dealers who had made fake certificates and a man who had tried to assassinate King Louis. But they could not deny the justice and revolutionary nature of the capture of the Bastille Prison.
Although no one was found, the Parisians found 15,000 costro guns, all of which were retired old goods.
The crown prince, who was still hunting outside the city, was still enjoying himself outside the city, thinking of using this method to narrow the relationship with the great nobles. Although his appearance was like this, it would help stabilize the political situation, plan to resolve the reparation of the reparations, and rescue his father, the Sun King, no one knows that the crown prince is still preparing for his ascension to the throne.
Because at this time, the French rulers in Versailles discussed the issue that was no longer about raising taxes to obtain compensation and rescuing the king and army of Strasbourg, but about another issue, that is, how to pull China into the water.
The nobles of Versailles obviously lacked understanding of China and the role of the Empire in this war. They believed that it was possible to convince China to form an alliance with France and the conditions were irrelevant. Didn’t the Chinese want France to open up their domestic market? It was just open.
Don’t the Chinese want to dominate the Spanish colonies in the Americas? You can also discuss it.
Of course, these people discuss this because they have an alternative - declaring war on China.
It is obvious that China will never support Austria's dominance in the continental region and will definitely be willing to intervene in the European situation. It is okay to intervene as a French allies, and it is also OK to intervene as a French enemy. If there is a country that can break up the Great Alliance and suppress the huge desire of the Great Alliance, then China is the only one.
These issues need to be discussed in small circles, so the prince chose to hunt, and these topics cannot be found in words. Therefore, the prince recorded in his diary on the day the Parisians had already captured the Bastille Prison, which was recorded in his diary: There is nothing wrong today.
But there is something really wrong with ‘Today’, even for the whole world, this is a historical event. In this plane, even Li Mingxun’s expulsion of the Tartars and restoration of China cannot be compared with it.
Because the French Revolution was the victory of the common people, the spontaneous struggle for their own power, not the top-down reform of the British Glorious Revolution, nor the change of dynasty in the East.
The Crown Prince received the news and returned to Versailles Palace. When he heard that the Bastille Prison, which symbolized the imperial power, was broken, and the Parisians had obtained more than a dozen cannons and tens of thousands of muskets, the Crown Prince finally couldn't sit still, and the nobles couldn't sit still, and they all suggested to attack hard.
However, France no longer had heavy punches. The only troops near Paris were the Imperial Guards, and only the Swiss Imperial Guards were willing to obey commands and suppress the revolution. The rest of them were completely ignored. The reason was very simple. They had not seen the Van Yin for three months.
The crown prince suppressed his anger and sent representatives to Paris, expressing his agreement to the third level, releasing Marshal Vaubon, and allowing Vaubon to serve as a representative of the noble level to participate in the third level meeting. The mode of the third level meeting is one vote in the first and second level and two votes in the third level.
This has eliminated a lot of anger, and some have even suggested that as long as Marshal Vaubon returns to Paris, they will be willing to put down their weapons.
As a result, Marshal Vobon did not come back as scheduled. Because the prince made a wrong plan, he thought that he could convince Vobon to support the old order when voting, so that he could at least lead to two to two votes. Marshal Kowbon was locked up with Montesquieu and others for several days. After hearing that Louis XIV and the French elite were trapped in Strasbourg, he became more determined. He believed that the Bourbon family could no longer save France, and the only ones who could save France were the French.
To mobilize the French, we must give the third-level authority to occupy the largest population.
But Vobon is an open and honest person. He did not choose to deceive, but instead told him bluntly. He would eventually vote for the third-level proposal, which would directly make the crown prince completely messed up.
Baron Montesquieu and others were released and they were treated like heroes. Montesquieu delivered a speech at the Bastille Prison, saying that the votes conducted by the two representatives of the third level must be represented by the third level, so the qualifications of the representatives should be reviewed.
At the beginning, people in Bourgeois who had political acumen or conspiracy theories suspected whether Montesquieu was bribed by Versailles and came to disagree.
But Montesquieu's suggestion was to let these people understand that although the baron was young, he had rich experience in political struggles.
Montesquieu suggested that these two representatives should be elected by the third rank voting, and because they represent the third rank in the country, they should be elected by the third rank in the country. In order to select such two people, a national third rank meeting must be held.
Mendesky said that this national third-level meeting is part of the national third-level meeting, because the Crown Prince and the Supreme Court have agreed to convene a third-level meeting, so this national third-level meeting is also reasonable and legal.
This has pointed out the way for the French Revolution, that is, there must be a reasonable and legal organization without organization, so what kind of politics is going on?
After the deadline for handing over Marshal Vobon, Montesquieu personally led a delegation to the Palace of Versailles to negotiate. The crown prince refused to meet on the grounds that Marshal Vobon was sick, and finally compromised and contacted the letter.
Any patriot will get my support.
This was the note that Marshal Vaubon was allowed to pass, and when Montesquieu showed up in Paris with his note, people cheered, and in their opinion, the French heroes always supported the third level.
Where will the third-level meeting be held, whether to review the qualifications of representatives, how to review, and what is the agenda?
There was no conclusion on these issues between Paris and Versailles, and between the third rank and the nobles.
The Imperial Guard again rejected the demand for suppression, and a mutiny and splitting occurred. The National Third Level Conference was established and the National Self-Defense Army was established in the name of patriotism and resistance to the enemy.
If there is a country who wants to be the first to thank France for its third level, then this country must be Portugal. After the advocacy of the third level national conference emerged, the French nobles knew that this matter could not be done. So the crown prince immediately mobilized the only army that France could still mobilize, the army led by Marshal Veral. Therefore, France and Spain were forced to give up the siege of Lisbon. You must know that the Portuguese king had already discussed with Marshal Veral with regard to what conditions he had withdrawn from the war.
However, this does not mean that the revolution initiated by the third level will be suppressed, because outside forces are involved.
After not receiving a response from the French government for a long time, the Grand Alliance sent troops from Strasbourg to advance westward. The army of 70,000 people was in a mighty manner and almost without any obstacles. He went to Paris. After hearing this news, France was shocked and Paris was shocked.
The first reaction was that the northern legion that had just recovered Lille. Under the leadership of the Duke of Vendome, the legion immediately gave up all the fortifications and retreated to Paris to prepare to participate in the defense of Paris.
However, this retreat did not receive the order from the Palace of Versailles, and the Great Alliance army had already expected that it would be hindered and involved in all his efforts. Churchill also led the cavalry alone to intercept and kill thousands of miles, causing the Duke of Vandome to lose half.
Facts have proved that Duke Churchill's cavalry assault played an unexpected role. After hearing that Duke Vandom was defeated, the nobles of Versailles thought of running at the first time. Although the prince scolded loudly and expressed his desire to fight to the end, when he received the news that the Great Alliance army was advancing westward, he arranged for people to send the royal family to Bordeaux. It was the time for the royal family that he did not inform the Duke Vandom in the north.
On November 2, the order of the Palace of Versailles collapsed, and the nobles fled in a hurry, and the team lasted for dozens of miles.
But the third-level meeting in Paris shouted the slogan of defending France and defending Paris at this time, because the long-awaited Marshal Vaubon came to Paris. When the Palace of Versailles collapsed, he not only convinced the guards, but also persuaded up to four thousand guard soldiers to follow him.
On November 5, Marshal Vobon was elected by the Third Level Conference as Commander-in-Chief of the National Self-Defense Forces, fully responsible for the city defense of Paris, and the whole of Paris was in full swing.
The nobles, churches, bankers and those timid guys fled. There were only 300,000 left in the city of Paris, with only 300,000 people, but there were 300,000 people who were firm, 300,000 loyal, and 300,000 brave.
Marshal Vaubon delivered a speech on the coexistence and death with Paris at the third level meeting, and demanded a full takeover of Paris, from the city hall to the bank, to the granary and bakery. Paris thus entered a state of military control.
On November 15th, on this day, the vanguard cavalry of the Grand Alliance fought the first battle with the National Self-Defense Army. It was not large in scale, but more than a dozen British cavalry were killed.
It was also on this day that Li Junwei from Ceuta received news of the French Revolution. He told his two sons who had just returned to him: "This is a great progress in human history, but it also released the most ferocious monster, a monster that was even more greedy than Taotie was released.
