Video spoilers history, starting with the blitzkrieg on Poland

[After learning that the third-class civilians established a militia organization and captured the Bastille. ]

[The conservatives were extremely horrified.]

【Many followers persuaded Louis XVI to flee Paris in order to achieve his ambitions. 】

【But Louis XVI hesitated. 】

【Seeing the powerful revolutionaries, Louis XVI did not have much courage to resist. 】

[He ordered the withdrawal of the army and recalled Necker and other liberal officials.]

【He also went to Paris in person and expressed his support for the revolutionaries.】

[Louis XVI's true thoughts are unknown.]

【But the situation he faced at this time was not only Paris, but also many cities throughout France where similar bourgeois waves appeared! 】

[Louis XVI could either resist stubbornly to the end or just accept it.]

[In the following month, the Constitutional Convention was convened again and a large number of feudal systems were abolished.]

[Including the tax-free privileges of the royal domain and feudal nobles’ land, the serfdom system, the tithes of the clergy, and the most critical lord’s jurisdiction.]

[This marked the complete end of France's original three-class society.]

【A new France with the bourgeoisie in power is born. 】

[At the same time, on August 8, the Declaration of Human Rights that shocked the world was officially announced. ]

【The ideas of freedom, equality, and fraternity began to spread in France and surrounding countries.】

【At this time of transition between the old and new national systems. 】

[Even the revolutionaries could not reach a consensus on what kind of country to build next. ]

【Everyone feels that sovereignty lies in the hands of all the people. 】

[Of course, the people here mainly refer to white men, and do not include women and other black slaves, etc. ]

【But sovereignty is in the hands of the people, which does not mean that the king is useless. 】

【The mainstream view at that time was that of constitutional monarchy. 】

【Many revolutionaries believed that the British system could be followed, with the king and parliament ruling together. 】

【The parliament is responsible for managing the country in peacetime.】

[The king has the power to veto some major national policies of the parliament. ]

[There are also many revolutionaries who believe that although the king will be eliminated sooner or later, for now he is still the symbol and leader of all France. ]

[Many new policies formulated by Parliament also require the King's signature and endorsement to enhance the influence and authority of Parliament.]

[The final result of the parliament's discussion was to retain the king and retain certain powers. ]

[But the king is only allowed to have the power to question and temporarily postpone the actions of Parliament.]

[Without the crucial veto power.]

[This means that the king has effectively lost control of the country.]

[In comparison, it seems that even the power of the King of England is greater than this. ]

[This naturally caused dissatisfaction among Louis XVI. ]

【So Louis XVI firmly rejected the vote of the parliament and refused to sign the Declaration of the Rights of Man. 】

[And summoned the elite Flemish Infantry Regiment to Versailles to threaten Paris at any time. ]

[It seems that Louis XVI, who had shown a gentle attitude before, has become tough again. ]

【But things are different now. Amid the turmoil, prices in Paris and across the country have risen further, and the people’s dissatisfaction with the king has further increased.】

[In addition, in the past few months, I have been influenced by the idea of ​​equality and freedom in parliament.]

[The anger of the entire Parisian people towards the king was further ignited. ]

【At this time, the king saw that he was sending troops to suppress the riots by force, so a large-scale riot broke out in Paris. 】

【The riots then turned into armed demonstrations.】

[Women of Paris endured hunger and marched to Versailles with arms.]

[Thousands of civilians arrived at Versailles first, followed by 2 National Guard soldiers.]

【Seeing the huge wave of opposition, Louis XVI's attitude softened again, and he finally agreed to sign a series of parliamentary bills including the "Declaration of the Rights of Man". 】

[He also promised to guarantee the food supply of Paris and move his court to Paris.]

[When Louis XVI was in Versailles, he had his own army and could deploy troops to protect himself or escape at any time.]

【But with his forced move to Paris, the king effectively lost his power and freedom.】

[Became a prisoner in the palace. ]

[If it was a power game between Louis XVI and the revolutionaries before. 】

【Now, with Louis XVI's move to Paris, it can be said that the revolutionaries have finally achieved a formal victory. 】

【We can now proceed with reforms without any scruples.】

[The king's position was retained and he remained the leader of the French people, but he no longer had much real power.]

【And will be subject to many provisions of the Constitution. 】

The king will continue to lead the government and appoint ministers to govern the country.

[But they were all within the scope of Parliament and lost the power to wage war. ] [At the same time, the royal family's expenses were also restricted. ]

[The annual cost is 2500 million.]

[Although from today's perspective, the French king still has considerable power.]

【However, compared with the previous feudal monarchy, power has been greatly, even fundamentally, restricted. 】

[It can be said that what France does next, how it moves forward, and how it develops is no longer under the control of the king.]

……

Outside the sky.

Qin Dynasty.

Although it was a foreign monarch who suffered.

But after all, they were all feudal rulers, and Ying Zheng was naturally very dissatisfied with the rebellious parliaments.

What made Ying Zheng even more dissatisfied was Louis XVI himself.

"What's this Louis XVI of the future? Look, your Louis family has been passed down for 16 generations."

"That's OK."

When Ying Zheng said this, he couldn't help but think of his plans for Qin Shihuang, Qin Ershi, and Qin Wanshi.

Unexpectedly, the Qin Dynasty finally perished during the second generation.

Ying Zheng felt a little depressed.

But he put aside other emotions and focused on analyzing the French Revolution on the sky.

"But this Louis XVI is really not okay."

"As an emperor, you don't have any thundering means at all."

"It was a huge mistake to hold a Level 3 meeting in the first place."

"Perhaps you have your own national conditions in France, and the meeting has to be held."

"But after the meeting, we must be prepared to make concessions."

"As a result, when it's time to make concessions, you can't give up any benefits at all."

"And when others forced the National Assembly to open, you did not call in the army to suppress it with blood and iron, showing your weakness."

"When the situation is hopeless and they have taken control of the capital, have tens of thousands of troops and the support of all citizens."

"And yet you are obstructing the passage of the bill in Parliament."

"In this way, you put yourself in opposition to all the citizens."

“It can be said that the people have lost all their support.”

The more he talked, the more Ying Zheng felt that this Louis XVI of later generations,
It's so stupid and unbelievable.

"After all, you are the king of more than a thousand years from now. How come your level is so poor?"

"You made every mistake you could make, and you made every wrong choice you could make."

"You would have lost power in Paris."

"But you just need to hide in Versailles and wait for the revolutionaries to split and quarrel among themselves."

"After the country is in chaos, the ignorant people will naturally think of the emperor and the good things about the king."

"Now you've become a sitting duck."

"Haha, that's really stupid!"

As one of the top kings in history.

Although Qin Shihuang Ying Zheng was also criticized for being a tyrant and abusing his people.

But the political tactics are very tough and very clear.

So Ying Zheng made a series of outrageous moves against the French kings of later generations.

It's quite speechless.

Who are these people? Can they be kings?

And in the Three Kingdoms.

Cao Shuang saw the scene on the sky curtain.

Louis XVI attended the celebration with the revolutionaries, with an awkward expression on his face, clapping mechanically, and signing bills that restricted the king's power.

Cao Shuang also sighed.

"Alas, the dignified and supreme king has now become a puppet of the parliament. It's really sad!"

"If things have come to this, then so be it."

"Louis XVI is a wealthy man."

"In fact, at the beginning, I thought that Louis XVI had a way to keep his power."

"But it's too late now. If we continue to fight the revolutionaries, we will probably lose our heads."

"It is a good ending for him to be a wealthy man and still be the leader of the entire French people." (End of this chapter)
