Chapter 1341 marry me (6)

After Robespierre's death, the French engraved this passage on his tombstone: "Pedestrians in the past! I, Robespierre, will die here. Please don't be sad for me. If I live, then you I can't live."

When the blade of the guillotine fell and the powerful man died, the cheers continued for a full 15 minutes.

The victory at the Battle of Toulon brought Napoleon to the fore, and his reward was a promotion to Brigadier General. However, Napoleon was not the fastest promoted. It took only five years for Ney to become a general from a lieutenant. This was mainly because the Jacobins’ reign of terror at that time caused a serious loss of regular army officers, so painters, doctors, etc. appeared. Amateur generals, Napoleon's promotion also benefited from the care of the Robespierre brothers, but it was these cares that almost killed Napoleon.

With the fall of Robespierre and the arrest of Napoleon, Juno almost wanted to rob prison on impulse.

Fortunately, the Thermidorians were not extremists. After investigation, it was found that Napoleon had no direct connection with Robespierre, and he was released a week later.

After being released from prison, Napoleon was not trusted. The Ministry of War transferred him from the original army. Napoleon refused to obey. He simply fell ill and went to Paris to receive unemployment benefits.

Bonaparte believed that ability is of no value if there is no opportunity.

Bonaparte was looking for new opportunities everywhere in Paris. In order to return to the Italian artillery, he submitted a bold plan to the Ministry of Military Affairs to march into northern Italy, which was called "the madman's plan" by the commander of the Italian Army.

At the same time, he was also considering other options, including going to Turkey to train artillery, going to Russia to help deal with Turkey, and even joining the British East India Company.

He is not the same as Robespierre, an "incorruptible person" who is sincere, selfless, and loyal to the Republic.

Robespierre's face has the characteristics of a cat, with huge almond eyes, curved eyebrows with large arcs, and a long but not too big, nor towering nose, which just forms an arc with his receding forehead .

Napoleon's appearance was very similar to that of the ancient Greeks. Robespierre Jr. once commented that he "has a thunder in his heart, and his face is like a mirror lake".

Napoleon was very sympathetic to the tragic death of this man who was kind to him, but this kind of sympathy could not help him get out of prison. He did not deny his Jacobin history, and he also believed that Jacobin The Binns are bloody people, no matter what others say, they are not despicable, which is different from the behavior of some people who were eager to draw a line after the fall of the Jacobins.

After the Thermidor coup, the Jacobins were liquidated, and when they decided to establish the Directorate, they introduced a very controversial clause. Two-thirds of the members of the Directorate Council should be directly elected from the National Convention, and the remaining third should be directly elected. One is elected by the people.

In order to resist this two-thirds clause, the Royalist Party launched the Portuguese Moon Riot. They planned to regain power by stealing the right to vote. After the successful suppression, the Directorate wanted Sies to preside over the overall situation, but Sies refused. He left France as ambassador to Berlin.

In 1798, Siyes was re-elected into the Directorate. Siyes, who had just taken office, acquiesced in a parliamentary impeachment of the Directorate. The conservatives resigned. Siyes called Robespierre the first executive power Focus on the hands of the person.

But he was not satisfied with this. He wanted to completely overthrow the incompetent government. In order to achieve this goal, he needed military power. He had to choose Napoleon Bonaparte on the recommendation of his staff.

After the Brumaire coup, both Siers and Napoleon became big men. Siers hoped that Napoleon would accept his containment system that did not engage in privileges, and become the "Great Elector", a "fat pig" position under the constitutional monarchy. But Napoleon did not accept Siyes' system.

The same as the governor, Carnot really has nothing to do. As the first batch of patriotic heroes, Siers, who drafted the "Tennis Court Declaration", "What is the Third Level", and "On Privileges" is very good. people of prestige.

Unlike the British Parliament, the French parliament has a bicameral system. The French parliament has no hereditary nobility and no commons. During the coup, he dissolved the parliament just like Cromwell. The new law stipulates that Napoleon has the right to appoint and dismiss at will. Members of the Senate, ministers, ambassadors and other senior diplomatic officials, army and naval officers.

That is to say, if he wants to "vote" to pass something, there is almost no need to worry about not being able to pass it. As long as the force is in his hands, even Siyes can only destroy the Constitution and use various loopholes to avoid harm.

Napoleon would not gain support through speeches like Robespierre. Money, power, titles, and fear were all tools of his rule.

The inciting power of language is limited, and no one will sacrifice their lives for empty promises.

If farmers are most worried about food, soldiers are most worried about money, and then they are decent.

Robespierre said in a speech on the extreme injustice of the death penalty that "excessive use of violence by society and the government will only encourage individuals to use violence, which may further encourage people to commit crimes. It's a social crime."

The murderous Robespierre actually opposed the death penalty. I guess no one believed it, but it was actually used by him to limit the power of the king and the parliament.

Guérande wore the uniform of the hussars, his military mark, and in this uniform he could not be treated with the same insolence as Louis XVI. He also needs a decent trial, a decent death sentence, and a decent funeral.

The characteristic of democracy is voting, but voting is not necessarily fair. Many factors will affect the voting results. Being voted to death, rather than a tyrant ordering the execution, is always in line with the system of the republic.

Siers had many disagreements with Napoleon's political views. He was a priest and did not agree with the abolition of the tithe, but he had one thing in common. He voted for the killing of the king.

With fewer nobles, the French people found it easier to move, but the exiled nobles did their best to keep France in conflict with other nations.

Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette wrote to Austria and other countries, hoping that they would not take into account their public demands and boldly start a war, and they would also promise that France would be easily subdued and scared. live, they hope that this act of surrender will protect their broken power.

With the consent of Louis XVI, the fugitive Bouillet gave all French colonies to England in exchange for the aid of George III.

Siers also heard the rumor, using other people's sympathy to let the old aristocrats come back to continue to rule France, which place will they sell next time?

Louis XVI once said that in France he would not allow anyone but himself to rule.

He is a good man, but a bad king.

Raising so many aristocrats who enjoy tax exemption rights, but levy heavy taxes on the poor, this inequality aroused the anger of the common people.

Marie Antoinette has lived in the deep palace for a long time, and the people don't know anything about it. 2 francs is a worker's monthly salary, and she may cost more than this amount for a handkerchief.

"Understood?" Leon lay beside her in his clothes.

"I'm still confused." She answered honestly.

"If you don't understand it, think about it later." He kissed her forehead, "Good night, princess."

She grabs his sleeve and doesn't let him go.

"Sometimes I think you're more French than French," he said softly, smoothing her hair out. "Nobody cares about the peasants."

"I don't want to go hungry next year." She said calmly, "Horse meat is so bad, just think it's for fish. Don't force the King of England like that, okay?"

"Have you tried it?"

She nods.

"How about we make today an anniversary? Let's have a big dinner next year."

"I don't know when he will come."

"You asked me to consider this question." He pinched her nose. "I can't give you a pair ring. Think about what else you can ask for a pair?"

"How about using hair?" She pinched his shaved hair. "Your hair must be cut anyway."

"I want you to shave me tomorrow morning." He said with a smile.

"I haven't practiced well yet."

"I will teach you slowly." The human who was younger than her said to her.

"Pay attention to your body, don't make it too late."

"This is the most beautiful love story I've ever heard." He said with a happy face, kissed her again, and left the room.

Not long after, he came back again, and he gave her a gift box.
