006 The uprising breaks out
"Young Master, Paris has established a Constitutional Assembly, putting the king's rights under the Constitution, and the constitutional monarchy has become the greatest beneficiary of this great revolution."
Joseph stood in front of Li Wei's desk with a slightly hunched back and reported.
"How is my father?"
Li Wei asked with a frown.
"The master and his wife are protected by God, and are not harmed, and have entered the newly formed Constitutional Assembly as a royal party as a member of the parliament.
Master is worried that it will be dangerous for you to stay here. Recently, many noble castles have been broken by rioters. The Constituent Assembly is discussing this matter and no unified opinion has been reached. So Master hopes that you will return to Paris, where it will be safer."
"Back to Paris?
Less than half a month ago, many people died in Paris!
I will write to my father.
Is there anything else?"
"Young Master, many farmers' gatherings were found in the countryside near Charles town, and the people from the public security office were also expelled. Do you need to send troops to arrest him?"
"Is there a list of the rallies' messengers?"
"I am very sorry that the people in the policing office cannot enter the meeting place, and those farmers are very hostile to the people in the policing office."
"Without any list, how can I send troops?
We can't arrest all the farmers, so who can provide us with taxes and food for farming?
I hope you will be fully prepared next time you report this kind of thing to me, Joseph!
After all, you are my father’s most trusted old friend.”
Li Wei said meaningfully.
Joseph was silent for a moment and bowed, "Abide by the teachings of the young master."
After leaving Levi's room, Joseph put on a wide-brimmed hat and frowned and glanced at the closed door.
‘What exactly does this Li Wei want to do?
Didn’t he want to kill the danger in the bud and have to wait until the second peasant riot appears before sending troops to suppress it?
What good is this for him?!
Or, Li Wei just wanted to have an open reason to arrest a large number of young and strong men into the labor camp he established?
Damn, if Charles' territory is tossed by Levi, the tax revenue will be ruined next quarter!
No, I want to report the matter here to the Count and ask Li Wei's father to deal with this little guy who is not worry-free.
It would be best to deprive Li Wei of his control of the first-line infantry regiment. It would be too hard for a 16-year-old boy to control a thousand-man regiment."
Levi didn't know that Joseph was going to report to his father, or Levi, who had a full-scale war system, didn't care.
Because Li Wei knew very well that his father had already taken root in Paris and would not leave Paris without being forced into a desperate situation or the king left the Paris area.
There is the center of the French Kingdom, and no noble with political ambitions will give up his power in Paris.
At this time, the French nation's thoughts had been deeply rooted in people's hearts. At least for those citizens who often come into contact with newspapers and other reading materials, they have already recognized their identity as the French nation.
There is no mass base for secession during this period.
Of course, the peasant class with little knowledge is easy to fool. Their concept of country is relatively weak, but now that they have entered industrial civilization, it is impossible to win by relying on peasant uprisings!
The Paris Revolution was able to achieve such rapid results because behind it was the financial father (bourgeoisie), speculators (liberal aristocratic class), greedy (high-ranking church leaders who wanted to seize more power), and the power (the great nobles who were dissatisfied with the autocracy of the king) jointly promoted it!
As for the Parisian citizen class, it is just a precursor cannon fodder used to launch the revolution.
Look at the people sitting in the Constituent Assembly, how many of them are from the citizen class?
The worst is also a small capitalist!
Louis XVI did not have the ability to govern the country from his ancestors and wanted to impose taxes, but even the autocratic system established by his ancestors was abandoned...
Li Wei knew that once the upper and lower classes of the French Kingdom saw that the monarchy that had been unable to reach the past was weakened, any kind of ambitious people would jump out and divide the power of the French Kingdom!
At least, this is the reason for the chaos during the French Revolution in his previous life.
"Those people should not have grasped the true meaning of power from the gun, especially those church leaders and great nobles. Do they think that a constitutional parliament can take power back from the king?
When the king's prestige is pierced, the citizens of Paris who have lost their awe will be the sharpest revolutionary blade!
During this period, I must accelerate my strength. If I have a hundred thousand army brainwashed by the full war system at this time, I can rush to Paris at the moment when the Great Revolution breaks out. Even if King Louis XVI is turned into a puppet, no one dares to resist!
At worst, you can fight a civil war, but you will die white people anyway…”
Two days later, Li Wei finally received the good and bad news he had always dreamed of - a large-scale peasant uprising broke out in the Charles family territory!
This time it was no longer a single village, but in almost all subordinate villages except the town of Charles, people participated in the uprising.
Interestingly, the leader of the rebel army was still a foreigner, named Polcha Kiss.
This is not the powerful intelligence system in Li Wei’s hands... Oh by the way, Li Wei does not have an intelligence network!
That Polkha took the initiative to let someone promote his name. After a failure, this person mastered some of the true meaning of rebellion - let everyone know his name and spread his reputation first.
Only when you have a great reputation will someone surrender to him.
The farmers in the Charles family territory even admitted that they were a foreign leader. It is conceivable how miserable they were oppressed by Levi and how deeply they were afraid of Levi!
If Polcha, who was fearless, took the lead, perhaps a peasant uprising would never have broken out in the Charles family territory, provided that Levi and his first-line infantry regiment were still staying in Charles town.
When the uprising broke out, Boercha gathered more than two thousand people!
Moreover, everyone has weapons in their hands, even if these weapons are mainly various agricultural tools...
In addition, the rebel army led by Polkha also obtained hundreds of muskets.
Of course, these are the spoils of Borkha's raid on the security office.
Because there was a first-line infantry regiment in Charles town to maintain public order, the security office moved to a village near the city a few days ago to supervise various villages. As a result, it was attacked by Polkha as soon as possible.
The people in the public security office did not resist at all when the battle started. When they saw groups of farmers rushing over with farm tools, they threw down their muskets and ran away...
