Chapter 129 You Hit Yours, I Knot Mine

France's behavior cannot be said to be without martial ethics, it can only be said to have no bottom line.

After a long discussion in the Constituent Assembly, they finally decided to send troops, finally discussed the amount of troops to be sent, finally decided on the direction of sending troops, and finally worked out the battle plan, so they sent troops gloriously.

Long live the French Revolution.At the same time that France declared war, his army had already crossed the border between France and Germany.

As for who is leading the team now?Naturally, it was General Di Mourier who had taken refuge in Robespierre.

I have to say that although General Dumouriez is not a good character, he likes to bounce back.

But his level is really good, the Austrian army guarding the border of the Netherlands was severely beaten by him

As for the reason for sending troops, of course it was to spread the advanced ideas of the French Revolution and help the European people to liberate.

Overthrow the kings, nobles, and churches that oppressed them, let the European people be cleansed by the free thought of the French Revolution, and learn to fight for their own rights and interests.

Do you think the European people are willing?This is not a question for French revolutionaries.What we have to do is spread, and whether you accept it or not is up to you. If there is no spread, how can there be acceptance?
Of course, first of all, the European people are definitely willing. How can anyone like to be oppressed? Isn’t freedom and democracy better than the hateful autocratic monarchy?

Second, the chaos in the early days prevented the Constituent Assembly from completely controlling France even today.

There are constant turmoil in various parts of France. At the same time, even in some border coastal areas, such as the Normandy area of ​​​​France, local farmers want to lure British warships to land with soldiers.

Fortunately, the local army quickly suppressed this kind of activity, but this undoubtedly shows that the French government or the current Constituent Assembly is gradually losing control over the local area.

What's more, the Prussian and Austrian troops have been deployed on the border, and they may come in to interfere at any time. In this case, why should they be left behind?

Civil strife can be easily suppressed, and there is no difficulty at all, but foreign troops make the Constituent Assembly feel like a thorn in its back, and this must be resolved.

Another point is very important.

These French revolutionaries knew that from the time of Robespierre's speech, from the time they voted to convict Louis XVI, from the moment they decided to execute Louis XVI, they had already fought with all the monarchs of Europe. Standing on the opposite side.

Oh, there is no Se the Great, and Se the Great is not afraid of the spread of the ideas of the French Revolution.

Emperor Sai the Great had already used the last Russo-Turkish war to destroy the duchies of Moldavia and Wallachia, and the Moldavian and Wallachian people now have a strong dislike for the Russians.

Under Selim's instigation, the Ottoman Empire deliberately publicized this point and publicized the atrocities committed by the Russian army, such as burning, killing, looting, and raping women.

It directly inspired the resistance of all the residents of Moldavia and Wallachia to the Russians.

The next thing is nothing more than to aggravate this hatred, and at the same time transform this hatred of the Russians into a heart of serving the country with fists against the Ottoman Empire.

What is independent in this case?Against what?No need.

Although it is said that the Ottoman Empire has hardly done anything during its 500-year rule, it has not completed the assimilation of the Balkans at all.

But one thing to understand is that the Ottoman Empire actually caused serious damage to the national identity of the local people.

Take Greece as an example. After the disappearance of Western Rome, Rome and Greece actually had a tendency to merge.

After the rise of Arab and other external forces, the Byzantine Empire was oppressed from all sides, and the integration accelerated. In the era after Heraclius, Rome had almost been deeply integrated with Greece.

To what extent has this fusion reached?After the Latin Rebellion of 1204, the Latin Empire occupied Constantinople, the capital of the Byzantine Empire.

At that time, it was the Greek monarchy that carried the banner of restoring Rome, but there were also conflicts among Greece. After the Latin Rebellion in 1204, many Greek monarchies declared themselves the successor of Rome.Were the Monarchies of Nicaea and Epirus in full cooperation?
Of course not, we can't play together.

What's more, the Ottoman Empire's conquest of various regions of Greece was not simultaneous, but intermittent, which further aggravated this gap.

If the national identity of the Greeks is the same, how much stronger will people in other regions be than this?

The national reconstruction and construction of the modern Balkan countries (some nationalities took shape only in modern times) was originally completed in the struggle with the Ottoman Empire. One wants independence and the other opposes independence, which is not bad.

For people in these affected areas, the displacement caused by the last war is not over yet.Although plans for the reconstruction of the principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia have been released.

However, there are still residents of the two principalities who are displaced. Even those who have returned, their living conditions are not good.

The first is not enough to eat, and the second is what the Russians did.

The food is not enough to eat, and the target is set up. Under such circumstances, what space is there for the spread of national ideas?
As for the Greek side, Se the Great has mixed a lot of sand into the Greek side and transferred many Muslims to the past.

At the same time, with the help of the last big cleansing incident, the power of the entire Greek people was greatly hit. They have lost their glory in the past, and they have become dwarfs politically, and they have been plundered by Emperor Sai the Great. Will there be this ability to oppose?

As for the Serbs and Bulgarians, these two did not suffer much damage. However, the new dynasty Yazheng learned about it. As far as Emperor Se the Great knew, since Anna announced the change of surname, many Orthodox Christians have found the local mosque. Hope the Ulema preside over improvements for them.

It's not easy. Finally, a sultan treats the people at the bottom as human beings.

Of course, the most important point is that the upper class of the Ottoman Empire can understand the thinking of the French Revolution now.

Will the upper class understand it and oppose themselves?

They haven't advanced to this point yet, and the lower class can't understand it, so how can they object?

Besides, it is not that Emperor Se the Great did not fail to improve the lives of the lower class, distribute land to farmers, and abolish slavery, which in itself is a kind of progress and an improvement.

Don't worry about Se the Great, other monarchs are not, of course, neither is France.

As far as France is concerned, in the current ruling party, whether it is the Girondins or the Jacobins, they do not have a good impression of the monarch, and they all try to abolish the monarch. Such a political idea is bound to be resisted and opposed by other monarchies. of.

As for the plain faction, although they belong to the neutral faction, it does not mean that they have much affection for the monarch. They also hope to limit or abolish the power of the monarch.

Also impelling France to send troops, after these chaos.The economic situation of the whole of France is already a mess.

The high debt left by Louis XVI has not been offset.Necker can't solve this situation at all, he has already fled, and before this situation, Parliament must restore the French economy.

How to restore it? , Transfer the pressure, promote production, fresh and delicious Rhineland, Netherlands, Northern Italy, waiting for the favor of France.

As for what Emperor Se the Great thinks of France's behavior, it's none of my business, you fight the battle, I marry me, everyone has a bright future.
