146 North Army Defection (100 Zhang Yue

"What?

Is there another revolutionary coup in Paris?

Can people like Robert Spear also get on the throne?!

Nothing!”

In the Austrian Netherlands Front Command, Charles François DiMurier, the current commander of the Northwest France Army, just received news of another coup in Paris.

Although he joined the Jacobin Club in 1790, it did not mean that he opposed the Gironde party rule.

Like most senior officials of the revolutionary government, Di Murier believed that the Gironde faction was the ‘moderate’ suitable for ruling France and coordinating the relationship between various classes.

After the Jacobin Club took office in the Gironde, it began to deteriorate, becoming more and more extreme, and it was disgusting!

Not everyone likes to rule the country with extreme nationalism!

Because extremes mean that the lives of the senior government leaders have become dangerous, those extremist bosses will send the "revolutionary senior leaders" they dislike to the gallows anytime and anywhere in the name of counter-revolution.

This is also the reason why senior officials of the Gironde government were reluctant to accept the option of resignation from beginning to end.

When the Gironde took over the regime, the senior officials of the Constitutional Monarchy resigned and retired. They were not politically liquidated. After they stepped down, they immediately regained their freedom and left Paris safely.

Nowadays, no one has encountered misfortune except for politicians who insist on staying in Paris and replacing other parties, especially some who go abroad with their families and money, and live a good life.

After staying away from the center of power, these people are not ordinary poor citizens. They have rich and connected, so their lives will naturally not be too bad.

However, in the information obtained by Commander Dimurier, one of the senior officials who were famous in Paris was counted as one, and all of them were arrested and imprisoned!

This is the method of the Jacobin radicals!

If it weren't for the superior Jacobin revolutionary leaders, there were also the less radical mountain faction bosses (the mountain faction itself did not think it was radical, and there were moderate voices within them, but it was difficult for outsiders to see it), which stopped Robert Spear and others from massacre of the top leaders of the Gironde faction.

It is not difficult to understand that before the Jacobin Mountains came to power, no one cared about how many moderate politicians there were among them. When Jacobin's dictatorship came to power, those Jacobin leaders from different backgrounds naturally had to implement their own political propositions and then began to split...

At the moment when the National Salvation Committee was established and taken power, the Mountain Sect, as the Jacobin whole, had actually disappeared. After losing a common enemy, the group of like-minded people began to gather together with their followers into distinct factions in order to promote their ruling philosophy.

This time, they are no longer mountain factions, but are based on different revolutionary leaders to form independent political groups. These political groups will be united and connected due to the similarity of revolutionary leaders' political views.

Of course, Jacobin's dictatorship of the National Salvation Committee has not been in power for a long time, so infighting is not that obvious to the outside world.

However, Commander Dimurie received very unfavorable news.

"Commander Dimurie, the newly-employed National Salvation Committee, has sent five military commissioners, on the way to this place, and they are holding the decree issued by the National Salvation Committee to suspend all military positions of the commander."

Dimurier's confidant adjutant reminded him with a serious expression.

After hearing this news, Di Murier was not surprised at all, because he had made a fatal military mistake before. When he attacked the Netherlands and consolidated the results of the occupation of the Austrian Netherlands, he was defeated by the Austrian army and suffered heavy losses, which temporarily lost the offensive ability of the Northwest France army.

Now that the National Salvation Committee has come to power, it has publicly shouted the political slogan of "Putting the country must first calm the country when fighting foreign countries", expressing the withdrawal of all French troops invading abroad, and is preparing to gather and mobilize the elite troops of the French Republic to suppress the Li Wei rebellion.

Naturally, Dimurier, the commander of the Northern Army who had just lost the battle, has reached the moment of liquidation...

This made Dimurier angry and uneasy!

"No, we must not hand over the military power in our hands, otherwise the National Salvation Committee will definitely arrest us, just like those of Brisso, our life and death will become the toys of those Jacobins."

Dimurier, who has joined the Jacobin Club, knows Robert Spear so well. This is why Dimurier feels incredible after learning that Robert Spear has become a member of the National Salvation Committee.

In Dimurier's eyes, Danton and Mara are the real leaders of the Jacobin Mountains. The "rise" like Robert Spear can get to power because their inspiration is extreme enough and has won the support of a large number of uneducated and uninvited trousers!

In other words, Robert Spear is just the leader of a group of butchers!

In the eyes of Dimurier, the Parisian trouser man is the butcher of the nobles and the upper class!

Such a dangerous person entered the center of political rights in the French Republic, how could Di Murier dare to return to Paris for trial?

After all, he is guilty of losing the battle.

"Take my guard and arrest the five special commissioners of the National Salvation Committee immediately, and do not let them enter the barracks to announce the national Salvation Committee's orders!

Leave the rest to me.

Since France lost the king, it has become more and more chaotic.

Perhaps my choice was wrong at that time, France could not have without a king.

As long as Louis XVI takes power, the enemy outside will no longer be enemies."

For his own power and life safety, Commander Dimurière resolutely chose to treason and surrender to the enemy at this critical moment when the French Republic was worried about domestic and foreign troubles!

It was so convenient for him to surrender to the enemy. Not far from the front line where he was, the Austrian army camp. When he surrendered to Austria's arms, France's northern border will be open to the Austrian army again!

The powerful French regular army, the Northern Army, will also be dismantled from the inside.

However, Dimurier knew that there were many Jacobin officers in the army who were determined to be revolutionary. He did not dare to be the first to announce the rebellion. He wanted to contact the Austrians first, and then borrowed their hands to control the uneasy elements in the Northern Army.

In early 1793, the National Salvation Committee, which had just obtained the highest power of France, suddenly received a bad news.

Di Murier, the commander of the Northern Army, surrendered to the Austrian army, arrested the special commissioner, and publicly supported the restoration of King Louis XVI. The Northern Army, with more than 100,000 elite troops, was taken over by the Austrian army without any defense!
