Chapter 151 The King's Death

"Robespierre, may I suspect you of slander?

Everyone knows that I am at odds with the Girondists. If you want to kill Brissot and his followers, I absolutely support it! "

"it is good!

Since it is impossible to kill Louis XVI's family now, let's use Brissot and his followers as a warning to those counterrevolutionaries. Presumably their heads and blood can serve as a warning to the decadent reactionary forces! "

Robespierre took over.

Soon, the news that Marat advocated the killing of the Girondins spread throughout Paris. Those supporters of the Girondins immediately listed Marat as their life and death enemy.

As a Girondist was sent to the guillotine, a small number of fanatical Girondist supporters began to plan the assassination of Marat.

Interestingly, there is a hidden force in Paris that is constantly helping these "hot-blooded youths" who are about to assassinate Marat.

Although the National Salvation Committee looks like a grassroots team, it is ultimately the highest leadership organization of a country. How could Mara, as an important member, not have security?

But let a group of passionate youths with no strict organization successfully shoot a bullet into the chest and die...

After Marat was assassinated, Robespierre and his party immediately jumped out and claimed to avenge Marat, setting off a major purge of the Girondists throughout the country!
Marat was proposed as a national hero by Robespierre alone.

Robespierre's admiration for Marat immediately ushered in the allegiance of Marat's supporters. The main supporters of Marat were the poor Parisian citizens, which did not conflict with Robespierre's supporters. Robespierre He accepted these people and further expanded his voice in the National Salvation Committee.

In name, every member of the National Salvation Committee is equal, but the various members have already formed cliques, and whoever has more supporters can gain more voice.

Because of this, quarrels and even abuse often broke out in the National Salvation Committee.

The death of Marat made Robespierre the biggest beneficiary, and when he promoted the execution of Louis XVI, no heavyweights came out to stop him!
As for the people of Paris, they hated the king who had repeatedly betrayed them. On the day Louis XVI was pushed to the guillotine, the execution square was crowded with people. Countless Parisian citizens in ragged clothes cheered as Louis XVI's head fell to the ground!
The scene of the execution of Louis XVI was tens of times more prosperous than the execution of Brissot and his party!
On the day when Louis XVI and his queen were killed, the citizens of Paris spontaneously held a carnival bonfire party.

They are even happier than the holidays!
In this bonfire party, a short artillery officer whose height was significantly lower than the average French male looked at the corpses of Louis XVI and his wife who were displayed to the public, and thought silently: "It's too urgent, at least we have to wait Putting down Livy's rebels and then executing the king looks like France will soon be on the verge of life or death."

This humble artillery officer was the Napoleon Bonaparte whom Levi always remembered!
Of course, in France now, no one knows what Napoleon is...

Even Napoleon from Corsica was often bullied by some French officers in the army.

When Louis XVI and his queen were executed, an unremarkable girl signed her name on the certificate of affidavit very painfully.

The National Salvation Committee in this world is more civilized (because of Livy's rebellion, they dare not let go and be unscrupulous), so Marie Therese, the daughter of Louis XVI, was not gang-raped and tortured.

But she was still not well taken care of. Before she was asked to sign the incest evidence that she and his brother, her father and her had a relationship beyond friendship, she just refuted a sentence, and her fair face was slapped by the Jacobins Swollen……

Under the threat of gang rape and beatings, Mary had to sign the confession, which was enough to destroy her and her father's reputation.

Of course, because of this, Mary survived and was not thrown to those sans-culottes men, becoming a girl with legs closed...

Soon, Mary, like Li Wei's two older sisters, was completely forgotten and placed under house arrest in the Tuileries Palace at will, living a life of captivity without freedom.

This year, Mary is only 15 years old!

After the news of the execution of King Louis XVI of France spread, Livy was stunned. He did not expect that the revolutionary government in Paris would be so strong. Even though they knew that doing so would make the monarchies across Europe angry and frightened, they still clicked and executed Louis XVI and his wife were beheaded...

Li Wei originally thought that his Black Dragon Legion's vigorous advance in southern France would make the Paris revolutionary government restrain itself. Unexpectedly, Louis XVI still failed to escape.

'Perhaps the Parisians really hated Louis XVI. Robespierre and those who insisted on executing Louis XVI were obviously trying to please the Paris people and expand their political influence in order to gain more say in the National Salvation Committee. .

Robespierre was obviously successful. With the death of Louis 16, the momentum of the veteran Jacobin leader Danton and the radical leader Ebert was suppressed by Robespierre. '

Li Wei, who had just received the news, thought silently in his heart.

You only need to go to Paris and do a little 'street interview' to know this information.

Paris at this time can be said to be the most democratic moment in history. The members of the National Salvation Committee are all politicians who speak for the common people. The rich, nobles and priests are like rats crossing the street.

Even ordinary traders were suppressed because the National Salvation Committee issued a strict "Price Restriction Act"!
Obviously, this decree, which does not consider the market economy, is used by the National Salvation Committee to curry favor with the common people at the bottom.

Of course, this decree did save many hungry people who were about to starve to death.

Those who suffered heavy losses were the big capitalists, finance capitalists and speculators.

The Jacobin dictatorship is wresting the fruits of victory of the French Revolution from the bourgeoisie!
It is a pity that the Jacobins did not have the path of experience that their predecessors had traveled, and everything was still being explored. Their efforts to please the French citizens and peasants, and their attacks on the capitalist class and aristocratic class, and conduct large-scale reserve training were considerable. As a result, it dragged down the overall economic level of France.

When the Jacobins consume the property confiscated from wealthy groups such as the nobility, church, big capitalists, speculators, etc., it will be the moment when the French Republic's finances collapse!

Of course, the Jacobin dictatorship may not last until that period!
PS: As long as I have enough time, I will make up the owed changes on the same day. If something happens, I will temporarily make up two changes, and make up the owed changes later.
