18th century total war

Chapter 130: Seizing Power Strongly (Subscribe to get the fourth update)
The reason why Brissot did not dare to touch the Paris Commune was because in the current French army, almost all aristocratic officers had been eliminated, and the methods were very simple and crude.

A large number of civilian officers took over their positions, and even many old military establishments were abolished and new military establishments were established, starting from scratch!
Of course, those who are willing to join the army are all young people who are passionate about the French Revolution, and the officers in it are the best among them. God knows how many people joined the Paris Commune and the Jacobin Club!

If Brissot wants to suppress the Paris Commune, he will inevitably need to send troops into the city. These troops are all controlled by civilian officers. If they are allowed to suppress the revolutionary masses, will they jump back and give themselves a counterattack?
There was no way, Jacobin's influence in the French army at this time was too strong, so powerful that even the Girondins could not suppress it even if they tried hard to suppress it.

Although the current Paris regime is controlled by the Girondists led by Brissot, many important military and political affairs in Paris have the shadow of the Paris Commune involved.

The National Convention convened by Brissot was joined by many members of the Paris Commune.

They are already an integral part of the political arena of the city of Paris.

The fall of the constitutional monarchy also allowed the power of the revolution to flourish. Whether it was Brissot’s Girondists, the Paris Commune, and the Jacobin Mountains, they were all republicans.

What's interesting is that now that the political power has fallen into the hands of the Republicans, the Republicans themselves are split...

Under the complex gaze of the Girondins, the Marseille Army, with a total of more than [-] soldiers, marched out of Paris in full force and headed towards the Vendée province.

It happened to be the territory recently laid down by the Black Dragon Legion. This time, Li Wei's goal of marching was naturally the next target city - the capital of Bordeaux in the Aquitaine region!

At the same time, it is also the capital city of the Gironde province, the hometown of many leaders of the Girondists!
Gironde is a province with very developed industry and commerce in France. Otherwise, there would not be so many capitalists becoming politicians.

Of course, as the leader on the table, Brissot is actually not a big capitalist himself. His rise mainly relies on founding "Le Patriot Française", controlling the trend of public opinion, and then becoming an outstanding politician. .

But Brisso was not born as a capitalist, which doesn’t mean he can’t connect with capitalists. After all, capitalists are very rich…

Brissot, who came from a civilian family, now represents the political interests of France's big capitalists and financial capitalists!

Also known as the moderates who came out of the Jacobins, or the royalists!
The title of the Royalist Party is naturally a scapegoat for the Jacobin Mountain Party, because the Girondists headed by Brissot have always been committed to opposing the execution of King Louis XVI and his family.

This scapegoat made the Girondists very uncomfortable, because today's Paris is politically correct to oppose the king, and the royalists have no political future!

Even if the Girondins accuse the Montagnards of slandering themselves, their decision not to execute the king is 'ironclad evidence', and no matter how they defend themselves, they will not be recognized by most anti-king and anti-noble political groups.

Now that the Girondins are the ruling party, only they have the right to execute the king. After all, the identity of the king is different from ordinary political prisoners. No matter how the Paris Commune ignores the rules, it is impossible to rush into the Tuileries Palace with an army to arrest King Louis X. Six families.

The Jacobin Mountain Party, the opposition party, is forcing the Girondists to execute the king, so as to prevent the hidden danger of the restoration of the French monarchy.

At least the leaders of the Mountain Sect think so...

They felt that Li Wei in the north dared to restore the old system of the Kingdom of France because Louis XVI was still alive!

With such a thinking mode, it is not difficult to understand why they are labeled as extreme radicals.

Naturally, the Marseilles Army cannot be the only one fighting against Livy's Black Dragon Army. In fact, there are now tens of thousands of National Guards trained by the Girondins on the border of the Vendée Province.

The current French army is in an age of failure. The new army has not yet completed training. The old army lost a group in the war and was eliminated. The rest were reorganized into the new organization and had already reached the French border. Out of line!
In fact, apart from the provincial coalition forces whose combat effectiveness has been continuously confirmed by Li Wei in France, there are really not many soldiers capable of fighting.

Now, in order to defend their hometown, the leaders of the Girondins have selected those troops from all over the country that have not been assigned tasks and seem to be capable of fighting, and after reorganization, they are packaged and sent to the Gironde Province to resist the attack of Li Wei's Black Dragon Army.

When the Girondists were ashamed, Li Wei's Black Dragon Army, which was in charge of attacking, obviously only had more than 1 people, but they needed several times their strength to resist, and they might not be able to win yet!

It is precisely because the prestige of the Girondist government was continuously stretched down by Li Wei that the Marseilles Legion was established!

The defeat of the provincial coalition forces in the Loire region occurred shortly after the Girondins came to power. Later, Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion, with more than 1 people, drove straight in and entered Wangdaixing without any obstacles. In the province, let the ruling Girondists be scolded by the Jacobin Mountains...

This was partly the reason why the Paris Commune completely turned to the Jacobin Montagnards.

The Jacobin Montagne and the Paris Commune, on the grounds that Bordeaux could not fall, used state finances to build the Marseille Legion and marched to the front.

It is not clear about the combat effectiveness, but the spirit of the Marseilles and the desire to fight will definitely blow away the troops organized by the Girondists!
The courage shown by the two sides in the face of Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion is not at the same level at all.

The tens of thousands of troops in the Gironde province are still digging fortifications and building defense lines, and they have not dared to counterattack into the Vendée province...

In such a big environment, the Marseilles led by Arnault naturally had a natural psychological advantage. After arriving at the place, they immediately took over the command of the tens of thousands of troops!

There is no problem in not handing over the command, as long as you dare to lead people to take the initiative to attack Livy's rebels in the Vendée Province.

With such a simple sentence, Arnault successfully took over the command of tens of thousands of troops, and the generals selected by the Girondins were relieved as they no longer had to visit the front line...

After Arnault's integration, plus the original Marseille Legion, the scale is as high as more than 6 people!
This is already comparable to the scale when Jacobin led the National Guard to resist the Prussian-Austrian coalition. These soldiers are not comparable to the 'second-line scum' of the provincial coalition.
