When the news of Lafayette's failure reached Paris, the whole of Paris was in an uproar.
After the portrait of Lafayette's hanging and Frost's speech were transmitted back to Paris, they immediately caused widespread panic.
The nobles and big businessmen who were still in Paris were so frightened that they dragged their families and ran to the northeastern border, blocking the road out of the city.
The target of their defection was obviously General Bouye on the border, where King Louis XVI and his family were.
It is said that on the way to escape, many noble and big businessmen tore off the tricolor emblem and wore the fleur-de-lis symbol representing the Bourbon royal family.
The National Assembly did not run away. The Girondins who controlled the assembly elected a new commander of the National Guard, Lucnal, and prepared for war, preparing to hold on to Paris.
But as soon as Luckner took office, the National Guard in Paris mutinied. The soldiers shouted "Long live General Frost" and poured out of the barracks to mingle with the Paris trousers.
The trousers crowd chanted the slogans in General Frost's speech, shouting "Hang the traitors who stole the revolution" and "Give the country back to the citizens", crowding the streets of Paris.
A mixed group of self-defense soldiers and trousers marched to the seat of the parliament and rushed to the stands of the parliament.
Yes, the building where the parliament was located at this time was still the same as when the Revolution was just launched. There were stands, and even those who were not members of the parliament could come in and observe the proceedings of the parliament.
Guys in trousers occupied the stands and shouted "return the results to the citizens" every time a member of parliament took the stage to give a speech, making it impossible for the parliamentary proceedings to proceed.
In this case, Marat stood on the podium.
"Gentlemen!" When Marat said this, he looked directly at the trousersmen and soldiers in the stands, as if he was addressing them.
"Gentlemen! At this time, we should really consider whether the decision to label General Frost as a traitor is correct!"
As soon as he finished speaking, some congressmen shouted: "Of course he is a traitor. He violated the basic spirit of the Constitution. Private property is sacred and inviolable!"
The audience in the stands immediately booed overwhelmingly, suppressing Marat's objections.
After the boos subsided, Marat continued: "General Frost's speech did point out a problem, that is, ordinary citizens received too few benefits in the process of the Great Revolution!"
There was cheering in the auditorium.
Mara: "There are some of you! I know that! In the two years after the revolution, wealth has expanded tenfold! Especially Angote, you are a grain merchant, and you are responsible for the increase in grain prices after the revolution!"
"You lowered the purchase price in the countryside and raised the sales price in the city! And you also colluded with the municipal officials in Paris to evade a large amount of market taxes!
"Look at you, all of you are fat-headed, but the trousers in the stands can't even afford new clothes because the price of cloth has increased!"
There was another round of cheers from the stands.
Marat became more and more passionate as he spoke: "I think General Frost is very right. It is because of you that the people's lives have not gotten better or improved! This is wrong! We must make changes to let France's
Everything changed for the better, allowing all French people to enjoy the benefits of the revolution.
"I think now is a very good time. We should seize the properties of those fleeing nobles and big businessmen and distribute them to the poor in Paris!
"There is also rural land. Because we insist on the sanctity of private property, we have formulated a redemption policy, but we never thought that farmers have no money to redeem it!
"Frost himself was in the countryside, so he saw through this, and that's why he used coupons to redeem the land, and then distributed the land to the farmers!
"As a result, he was voted by us as a traitor! He is not treason, he is clearly solving problems for us!
"I think that at this time, we should cancel the term traitor, and at the same time, follow his example and distribute land to farmers throughout France!"
The gentlemen of the Parliament were in an uproar, but the people in the stands were cheering, and the voices of the gentlemen of the Parliament were suppressed.
When the venue quieted down, a congressman stood up, pointed at Mara's nose and cursed: "Are you asking us to abandon the principles established in the Constitution? Private property is inviolable but..."
The boos started again, and someone shouted: "Drag him out and hang him from the street lamp!"
The congressman was so frightened by these words that he hurriedly sat down.
Marat: "The constitution also stipulates that we are a country with a constitutional monarchy, but now the monarch has escaped! I think today we should label the king who has foreign affairs as a traitor! Then change it to a republic!"
"Since it is a republic, the Constitution of the Kingdom of France naturally has many things to do!"
As soon as the words fell, there was another round of applause in the stands, and the crowd began to shout "Long Live the Republic."
After quieting down again, Marat threw out his trump card: "If we don't change anything today, how do you think Frost will treat the Parliament when he returns to Paris?"
The MPs looked at each other.
Marat: "Therefore, I propose to vote immediately to overturn the resolution that Frost is a traitor, and congratulate him on eliminating Lafayette, the leader of the constitutional monarchy who has been holding parliament hostage!
"At the same time, he is invited to return to Paris as soon as possible to deal with the rebellion of General Bouye!"

While Paris was in chaos, An Ning was reorganizing his troops at Conta.
After he executed Lafayette, most of Lafayette's troops who originally surrendered expressed their willingness to join his command.
Moreover, Lafayette's troops, who were originally in disarray, stopped fleeing after receiving the news, changed direction and ran back.
An Ning assigned the task of organizing these troops to Lazar Cano.
Lazar Cano was already good at this. After all, in real history, he was a powerful man who helped the Republic implement military reforms and organized an army of 700,000. He was nicknamed "The Organizer of Victory."
However, even Lazar Cano encountered huge difficulties in reorganizing these troops.
Because An Ning lit up Lafayette, the old aristocratic officers did not dare to defect to An Ning. As a result, many soldiers came to defect to An Ning, and the non-commissioned officers became rich.
There are only soldiers, no generals!
Even Lazar Cano could not transform himself into a non-commissioned officer capable of commanding a rapidly expanding army.
It takes time to train noncommissioned officers from ordinary soldiers.
Moreover, An Ning had previously regarded the training team as a night raid team. As a result, the training team that returned after the night raid was only 30% of the original number. If they wanted to drive them away and become non-commissioned officers, there were not enough people.
All in all, An Ning's officers have been busy reorganizing these days. Let alone marching to Paris, they can't move at Konta.
So An Ning can be said to be passively watching the situation in Kongta.
Very bad news came from Austria.
Because Louis XVI successfully moved out of Paris, the nobles who had been driven out of the country by the Revolution gathered in Austria and passed through Austria and Bavaria to the northeastern border of France.
Now General Bouye on the northeastern border has assembled a very considerable royalist army.
Then Queen Mary ran back to her natal home, and now two Austrian armies were gathered on the border.
One force was in Italy, led by General Beaulieu, and was in Milan ready to attack southern France through Nice and Provence.
One branch is east of Bavaria, led by General Wumser, ready to intervene at any time.
In addition, Frederick the Great of Prussia finally died, and the new King of Prussia, Frederick William II, was also eager to intervene in France.
The Prussian army, led by Duke Carl Wilhelm Ferdinand of Brunswick, had also moved to the border.
In addition, the trends in the UK are also worrying.
The news from Toulon is that Royal Navy cruisers have appeared on the sea outside Toulon several times.
An Ning summarized this information and felt more and more that the situation was not optimistic.
But when he was worried about this, a painter came all the way from Paris to visit him.
