18th century total war

Chapter 236 Conquering the Parliament
The first plenary session of the French Republic Parliament was officially held at the Tuileries Palace in Paris.

Meetings in this era are incomparable to those in the 21st century. Many people don’t even have a place to sit. It’s just a group of people sitting in a hall, with status and right to speak, and people’s representatives with low status standing...

In order to compete politically with Li Wei, the former Governorate Government also made great efforts. Although the Governorate Government and the National Convention were gone, none of the Governorate Government and the National Convention were excluded, and they were all drawn into the Congress of the Republic. , and also brought in some more prestigious public figures from the Paris Commune.

The first important topic of this plenary meeting is to elect a speaker!
The majority of members of the French Republic's Parliament have already discussed the candidates in private. No matter who is the speaker, it is impossible for him to be Livy who becomes the first consul.

This speaker was the leader introduced by the members of the Republic to lead everyone in the political struggle against Li Wei.

If you can't beat Li Wei militarily, then everyone will fight against Li Wei politically!
The people of Paris and even most of the French people are on the side of the French Republic Assembly, and the members of the Republic are full of confidence in the political competition.

"It is said that when Li Wei took office, he launched a large-scale military expansion plan, intending to recruit some veterans from the original revolutionary army, his Black Dragon Army, standing army, and part of the garrison army to form a new French Defense Force.

After we elect the Speaker, we must get at least half of the generals in the newly established National Defense Force! "

"Yes, the army cannot continue to be in the hands of Livy, a dictator, otherwise sooner or later he will expel the sacred and great Parliament of the Republic by force. By then, France may not even be able to keep its name as a republic.

Livy, an ambitious dictator, must have coveted the position of king for a long time! "

"Hey, have you heard that Li Wei is also running for the election of the Speaker of the Republic Assembly this time. I'm curious what wonderful expression he will have when he sees that his votes are zero."

As soon as these words came out, the surrounding MPs burst into hearty laughter.

These people were not originally from the same party. If Li Wei hadn't entered Paris strongly and the Directory was still there, these people would definitely criticize each other clearly.

But now that Li Wei, who is the chief executive officer, is on his head, these politicians don't need outsiders to remind them, so they naturally let go of the little unhappiness before, and sincerely cooperate to fight against Li Wei.

This first session of the French Republic was their opening to show their minions to Li Wei!

As for Li Wei's military threat, these congressmen are not too worried.

Once the civil war is over, people's peace of mind will become the mainstream. Except for Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion, the entire France, including the standing legions and garrison legions and even local security corps under the control of Li Wei's original regime, no longer want to continue fighting!
If Li Wei dares to take action at this time, the whole country will be the enemy.

Now Li Wei has entered Paris with the Black Dragon Legion. Once the whole country is an enemy, the situation will be even more dangerous than when Li Wei first started. If you don't kill Paris seven times in and seven out, you can't escape your life.

Even if Li Wei's Black Dragon Legion's fighting power exploded and slaughtered the city of Paris, what Li Wei, who is an enemy of the whole country, would only gain is the ruins of Paris, and he would have to face a steady stream of revolutionary troops from all directions!
At that time, even the anti-French alliance may help the revolutionary army eliminate Li Wei first!
Li Wei had already experienced a difficult mode when he started, so he naturally didn't want to let himself enter the hell mode again...

Best of all, Levi has better options.

With the arrival of Levi, the noise in the conference room quickly reached its peak. If you look carefully, you can even hear many lower-status public representatives, that is, temporary members, publicly criticizing Levi.

One of the people's voice was extra loud and listed Levi's eight crimes, seven mistakes...

The most important thing is that every sentence this person listed is true, every word is precise, and each item describes the arguments and arguments in detail.

Among them, the Marseille tragedy ranked first in the argument!

Li Wei looked at the noisy voices in the conference hall with a calm expression, and secretly swore in his heart that he would make all the parliaments in this world disappear!
"Our First Consul of France, why is he interested in coming to participate in the Congress of the Republic?

Is it possible that you also want to run for speaker?
I'm afraid that the Consul will be disappointed, because the Parliament of the Republic is a place that emphasizes human rights and equality. No matter how noble your status is, it has no meaning here! "

A neither yin nor yang voice appeared directly in front of Li Wei, and immediately caused the people around him to echo. The more arrogant people among them laughed loudly at Li Wei without any scruples. Some people even shouted openly from behind, calling Li Wei a dictatorial tyrant. Let Li Wei get out of the Congress of the Republic, a sacred place that represents freedom and equality!

Li Wei now understands how annoying he is in the hearts of the French people, and he is probably treated similarly to those foreign invaders...

"Sure enough, the political fruits of compromise are highly toxic."

Li Wei thought to himself, and at the same time lost interest in talking to these unqualified congressmen, he directly opened the system panel and clicked on the interface of administrative enlightenment.

The only flaw of administrative enlightenment is that it can only be enlightened in a building with additional system functions. Fortunately, the French Republic Assembly gave Li Wei this opportunity to gather all the top leaders of the Revolutionary Party in Paris here!

As for the behavior of the members of the French Republic to privately pull the folks from the Paris Commune into the conference hall, Li Wei is even more silent on the surface, and his heart is full of joy!
Li Wei was worried about how to break into the Paris Commune!

Levi's consciousness began to click on the administrative interface. Unknowingly, the noise in the conference room became less and less, and the voices that originally mocked and cursed at Levi disappeared.

Ten minutes later, all the members in the conference room closed their mouths and looked at Levi seriously.

Li Wei breathed a sigh of relief, it was a lot of work for him to enlighten so many people at once.

Levi raised his head and glanced at the several members of Congress who were blocking him. Before this, these people had not given him a chance to speak on stage, and they had just blocked his way so carelessly!
If it weren't for the guards of the Black Dragon Army around Li Wei, it is estimated that these members of parliament would take this opportunity to beat Li Wei to death.

However, after seeing Li Wei's stern eyes, several members of Congress who were blocking the road subconsciously shrank their necks and stepped away to make way for them.

Li Wei came to the high platform in the middle of the meeting room without any hindrance. He didn't say much. After scanning the members present, he said in a flat tone:

"I hope I can become the Speaker of the French Republic Parliament. Who agrees and who opposes?!"

As soon as Li Wei finished speaking, all the sitting councilors stood up in unison, and the casually standing councilors behind them also straightened up. Everyone seemed to have rehearsed, and raised their right arms at a 45-degree angle with a clatter. He shouted loudly:
"Master Li Wei! Long live!"

Obviously, the answer is self-evident.

Several military policemen who had no administrative value and were responsible for maintaining the stability of the meeting place (mainly to prevent large-scale fights from happening) looked at this scene with their mouths open.

As people who have not been brainwashed and witnessed the whole process, these military policemen feel that their three views have begun to collapse, and at the same time they look at Li Wei with eyes full of fear of the unknown!

The rumor that Li Wei can hypnotize is not false, it is even more powerful than the rumors!

Otherwise, how can it be explained that many congressmen who had discussed how to keep Li Wei from stepping down a moment ago shouted the slogan of allegiance that only Li Wei's subordinates would shout the next moment? !

This is so unscientific!

Levi glanced at the horrified gendarmes at the conference venue and rubbed the corners of his eyebrows. He knew that he had just made a small mistake.

Such a terrifying scene cannot be revealed at will, otherwise who will have a pleasant conversation with him face to face in the future?

Fortunately, there are still plenty of places for administrative enlightenment.

Li Wei glanced over, and the last few gendarmes in the conference hall who maintained their ego were overwhelmed by administrative enlightenment.

However, Li Wei has already made plans to get rid of these useless gendarmes if he has the opportunity to find a reason in the future.

Including the Paris tax bureau, there are a total of [-] administrative points (the tax bureau is a tax administrative point), which seems to be a lot, but it pales in comparison to controlling the whole of France.

After all, what Livy established was not a feudal monarchy, but a centralized monarchy.

If you want to centralize power, you must appoint a large number of bureaucrats and form a complete bureaucracy system. Only in this way can Livy sit in the palace in Paris and issue an order, which can also be received in a village in the border area!

Naturally, Li Wei did not allow precious administrative quotas to be wasted on a few gendarmes.

In fact, Li Wei is more inclined to upgrade the Court of Appeals to the top Supreme Court, so that he can have 100 million administrative points. In this way, Li Wei can even extend his loyal administrative tentacles to the level of civil servants. Decentralize the basis of governance to the villages!
Realize the foundation of a country’s rule in the 21st century!
By that time, Li Wei had fully mastered France in the true sense.

It's a pity that the upgrade from the Court of Appeals to the Supreme Court is the third upgrade, and it needs to consume a full thousand glory points, which can't be collected even if Li Wei is sold...

With more than [-] administrative officials, Li Wei estimates that he can only extend his central administrative tentacles to the town level. This is already the best situation, and the officials who are enlightened must be middle-level and high-level, and the administrative quota is not enough for enlightenment. Grassroots level.

What Li Wei imitated was the government system of later generations. Li Wei, who came from the 21st century, didn't like the centralization of this era at all. In terms of centralization, Western Europe and the Far Eastern Empire in the East at the same time could not match it.

After becoming the speaker, Li Wei naturally wouldn't just let it go. These councilors are at worst celebrities in the society. They not only hold the power of many departments, but also control [-]% of the public opinion in Paris!
Li Wei wanted to use them to cooperate with his large-scale military expansion plan, and at the same time let them build momentum for himself in public opinion.

In fact, it is to clear Levi's stigma.

The first is to cleanse the stigma in the annals of history. This is actually the easiest, because historical records do not require the consent of the people.

At Li Wei's request, he transformed from an aristocratic rebel representing the old forces into a savior who saved the people from the fire and water...

Facts have proved that as long as a ruler is shameless enough, history can beautify him into a god-like existence.

For example, Shiquan old man Qianlong!

Livy also requested that after the compilation of the new French history is completed, a French standard history textbook should be formulated based on this set of historical annals. In the textbook, Livy is the French hero!
Well, it's also possible to become a hero throughout Europe and even the world!

History is a whore, the ruler is a whore, and the whore's posture depends entirely on the interests of the client.

Of course, if the ruler dies too early and the virtual records in the history books are overturned by later generations, then there is nothing that can be done...

This is easy to understand. In Li Wei's previous life, why did people in the world generally think that most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were incompetent monarchs?

Because the history of the Ming Dynasty that has been passed down to the 21st century was compiled by the Qing Dynasty!
The Sikuquanshu, compiled during the period of the Daxing Literary Prison in the Qing Dynasty, was, to put it bluntly, a campaign to beautify the Qing Dynasty and slander the previous dynasty.

Sadly, because the Qing Dynasty destroyed a large number of classics that were beneficial to the Ming Dynasty, later generations can only speculate on the history of the Ming Dynasty based on the annals compiled by the Qing Dynasty.

The good news is that the Manchu Qing Dynasty could annihilate the achievements of the Ming Dynasty and portray the Ming Dynasty monarchs as fools, but they could not let the historical annals that beautified themselves continue to be passed down. The aftermath of the accident is too numerous to count, and it has reached the point where it cannot be washed away...

The first Republic Assembly lasted a whole day before it ended. Livy made detailed arrangements for those members. This would be his first step in truly taking control of Paris.

Levi never fights an uncertain battle.

After pacifying the Parliament of the Republic, Livy finally regained his position, but the Parisians did not know that their revolutionary leaders had become traitors.

Now Li Wei has not completed the large-scale military expansion plan, so everything is seeking stability.

Without a group of revolutionary congressmen making trouble, Li Wei finally had time to deal with his private affairs.

The Palace of Versailles was closely guarded by the infantry guards with ten steps, one post, five steps and one sentry. When Livy came to a room door, he dismissed his guards for the first time and opened the door alone.

Angela and Maria, who had already received the news, blushed quickly on their faces when they saw Levi coming in alone.

After Li Wei saw the combination of his two older sisters, white silk and black silk, his steps faltered and his whole body felt bad.

After seeing each other for just a few years, my two sisters have become more and more attractive and delicious.

No less moisturised at first glance!
"Dear brother, do you like the costumes of the sisters?"

Angela threw a very indecent wink at Li Wei, and spit out like a groan.
