The opening of the 512 Revolution
On May 5, 1789, on the first day of the Estates-General, there was an unhappy breakup. 8> -`=.-y`a·=e=n-8=.· In the other plane of C'O-M, the three levels first entangled themselves in the issue of the identification of representatives. On the same day, the delegates of the third estate declared that the national assembly would be formed by more than 600 representatives of the third estate, and that the more enlightened and pragmatic representatives of the first and second estates were invited to join, and made it clear that even if no one from the first and second estates participated, they would hold the national convention to the end.
The third estate was set up separately, which made King Louis XVI of France a little anxious, and he ordered the closure of the Hall of Nations, where the National Assembly was held, on the pretext of renovating the venue. The weather was not good, so the National Assembly moved to a nearby indoor tennis court. In the tennis court, the delegates expressed the Declaration of the Tennis Court, declaring that the National Assembly would continue until the French constitution was established. Most of the clergy soon joined the National Assembly, while the nobility had 47 members.
The establishment of the National Convention was supported by a considerable number of the French people, so that Louis XVI had to make concessions to it, but the king, in order to protect his power, also began to gather troops in Paris and Versailles. 8 ·=·. = The spread of the telegraph and newspapers made the news of the establishment of the National Convention spread more quickly, and people all over France rejoiced at the news and support for the National Convention grew, which put Louis under even more pressure.
By 9 July, when the National Convention had been renamed the National Constituent Assembly, Necker had been in trouble for his proximity to the Third Estate. In the royal family, Queen Marie, the king's brother, the Count of Artois, and other conservatives in the Privy Council persuaded Louis XVI to dismiss him. On July 11, 1789, after Necker announced that the royal family should live on budget funds, the king dismissed him and at the same time reorganized the treasury.
However, although Necker, as the chief financial officer, lacks talent, many of his experiences have made the French people feel good about him, and it is also because Necker has taken the initiative to publish French financial data that many French people have increased their interest in national affairs. Of course, there is also the power of the Tang Dynasty media, which has made changes in French society bit by bit. Necker's ouster made the French quite unhappy, which led to even greater public outrage.
Many Parisians believed that the king's action was the first step in the royal family's intervention in the parliament, so riots began in Paris the day after the news broke. 8 '=-.= King Louis XVI wisely ordered the presence of foreign legions, not his own soldiers but those employed by the royal family, to the great concern of the citizens of Paris. Rumors circulated, including the theory that the troops stationed in Paris had received orders to overthrow the Constituent Assembly. The Constituent Assembly in Versailles continued to find ways to avoid further expulsion from the meeting place. Paris soon descended into riots, the rioting citizens were supported by the French guards, and the situation in Paris became more chaotic.
On 14 July, rioting citizens and the guards who supported them set their sights on the Bastille prison, considered a symbol of French feudalism. There is also a partial stockpile of weapons and ammunition, and there are only seven inmates in the prison, which means that the defense forces will not be sufficient. After hours of fighting, the Bastille fell that afternoon, and the Marquis of the Bastille, Marquis Lonnais, ordered a ceasefire to prevent the two sides from killing each other, and he was dragged out, beaten, stabbed with a knife, and finally beheaded. His head was worn on a spear and displayed around the city. The rioters returned to the Paris City Hall and put the president of the Chamber of Commerce, Jacques, who refused to supply weapons. Morality? Freisler was put in the dock and the man was immediately shot. Of course, the rioters eventually got some of their weapons from a civilian weapons store with a Tang background. The French manager announced that he would provide weapons to all rioters free of charge, an act that led him to become a member of parliament. However, the Datang Arms Export Company, which suffered losses, could not continue to pursue it afterwards. This kind of thing happened from time to time throughout the revolution, and many Tang-funded enterprises and shops suffered varying degrees of losses, some of which were even directly looted, even if the French government publicly apologized to the Datang enterprises and paid a symbolic amount of money, but it was a drop in the bucket.
Louis XVI, who had a cowardly personality, saw the angry people of Paris and had to choose to give in again at this time, appointing the Marquis de Lafayette, who led the revolutionaries in the storming of the Bastille, as the commander of the National Guard in Paris. Sylvain? Bailly became mayor of Paris under a new government structure called the Commune, and the popular Necker returned to power.
King Louis XVI rushed from Versailles to Paris to inspect the country, and on July 17 agreed to confirm the national flag as a blue, white and red tricolor, as well as the slogans "Long live the country" and "Long live the king".
At the same time, peasant revolts of varying degrees broke out in various parts of France, and even though the agricultural exhibitions had improved to a certain extent in recent years, the real beneficiaries were the landlords and aristocrats, who gained more wealth through the introduction of agricultural technology from the Tang Dynasty, while the peasants faced more terrible exploitation. When the peasants saw that they had harvested a large number of crops and other crops, and in the end it was more difficult to even eat a full mouthful, while their lords and landlords lived a life of fine clothes and food, discontent grew.
The rioting peasants tore up the title deeds, and even gathered to burn the title deeds, and refused to work for the landlords, and even some of the landlords who were usually bad deeds were dragged out of their homes by the peasants and beaten violently. Many landlords panicked and fled with their families and belongings. In urban areas, the traditional feudal system has been largely replaced by industrial development.
On August 4, 1789, the National Constituent Assembly passed a resolution abolishing feudalism, abolishing the powers of the second-estate lords and the right of the first-estate churches to collect tithes. On 26 August, the National Constituent Assembly promulgated the Declaration of Human Rights. This declaration not only has the force of a constitution, but more importantly declares the principles of the National Constituent Assembly. It declared that the National Constituent Assembly was not only a legislature, but also a body for the preparation of a new constitution.
At this point, the political chaos in France caused by the French Revolution also officially began.
