As Fouchey cast this vote, Louis XVI's fate was basically decided. Because Fouchey cast the 355th vote in favor of the death penalty, only six votes were left before the 361 votes that could cut off Louis XVI's head. There were many more mountain MPs who had not yet voted. Their attitude was relatively firm and it was almost impossible to rebel. And the remaining Brisso members may not be like this. It can be said that the overall situation was decided. Immediately after, new traitors appeared among the Brisso members behind Fouchey. As a result, out of the 720 votes, 387 votes supported the death penalty, and the remaining 333 votes supported the pardon. Louis XVI's death penalty was approved, and this would be the second king in Europe to be sentenced to death.

In fact, there are economic reasons for the trial of the king. As the king was sentenced to death, the property of the exiled nobles was declared confiscated and used as collateral to issue more coupons. If everything was normal, these lands and property would give the French finance a long buffer period. However, in any era, war is a financial bottomless pit. At this time, the war between France, Austria and Prussia has not yet ended.

...

After taking Belgium, the French army began to repair it. Joseph, who was idle, also brought his younger brother out and wandered around the streets of Aachen.

Although he was wandering around, the two brothers still paid attention to some different things. Napoleon carefully observed the street layout of Aachen city, and by the way, he demolished the city a hundred times and a hundred times through simulated street fighting. As for Joseph, of course he was not so bored. He only found a small detail: the prices in Aachen have increased significantly, and the shops on the street seem to be very repulsive to the French, especially when they were in military uniforms. ******** As for this time, when he and Napoleon came out, they did not wear military uniforms, walked into a tavern and asked in German: "Is there any brandy?" The shop owner immediately replied: "Yes, some. Do you pay with a mark?" The boss laughed a flower on his face.

"Isn't River?" Joseph continued.

"River? Is it silver? It's okay with silver, but our store does not collect coupons." The boss replied.

"Silver," Joseph said, as he laid out several silver coins on the counter.

"Okay." The owner saw that Joseph had taken out silver coins and said happily, "One Rifle is a cup."

"What? Didn't it be a Livre two cups before?" Joseph said in surprise.

"That's before the French came." A voice came from the side. Joseph turned his head and saw a red-haired young man holding a glass of foamy beer in his hand. The man saw Joseph's gaze and raised the wine glass in his hand and smiled slightly.

"Yes, that's before the French came. Since the French came, everything has increased in price." The owner also said.

This is also a normal thing. Generally speaking, soldiers who are born and die are always willing to spend money. Wherever the soldiers in the brigade go, it is always easy to cause some industries, such as wine, and some undescribable industries to have a booming business and rising prices.

"So you should have made a lot of money by the store owner, right?" Joseph asked with a smile.

"Where is it," the boss shook his head, "It was okay at the beginning, but now, they all came to ask for a drink with a small piece of paper, hey, isn't this a lie? Of course I refused to ask for it, but they beat me up. They also said that they would not collect the coupons, which was counter-revolutionary, and threatened to hang me on the street lamp pole! Now we dare not not to accept the paper they had, but good things had to be hidden in advance so that they would not see them."

In France, in order to ensure that the index coupons can be accepted, the parliament has indeed formulated a law prohibiting merchants from banning the collection of index coupons. If merchants insist on not accepting the index coupons, they may indeed be hung with street lights. (Of course, French merchants also have their own way of dealing with it) but this is not France.

But the soldiers had no choice. They couldn't come out and relax and spend money, right?

At the beginning, when the front line was very critical, in order to increase the morale of the soldiers, the French government sold the military pay to the soldiers, and the military pay they paid were all real metal currency. However, since the Battle of Valme, the government's military pay had begun to appear in the military pay. After the victory of the Battle of Remap, the proportion of military pay exceeded that of metal currency. When Louis XVI went to the guillotine, there was no metal currency in the military pay.

Of course, this is Dimurier's statement. There is also a saying that at this special moment, in order to stabilize the situation, the military pay sent by the government to Dimurier was still metal currency. However, General Dimurier changed all these metal currency into finger coupons and then sent it to the soldiers.

Moreover, this statement even has a certain basis, because there are always small vendors doing a special business near the French military camp, which is to exchange coins for finger coupons. Of course, this exchange is much darker than in France. The soldiers who were unwilling to be exploited beat a merchant in anger and snatched the two hundred silver Rifle around him, and finally threw it to him for 400 paper Rifle.

General Dimurière, who had never been concerned about such matters, was furious about this and claimed that such lawless behavior was a great crime, which made the people complain. It was really not enough to calm the anger of the people without killing them. Then he snatched the soldiers, which was considered to be a military law.

However, many soldiers suspected that General Dimurière, who had always ignored such matters, was probably because he was the backstage boss of the merchants who exchanged finger coupons. This irresponsible speculation spread rapidly throughout the army, causing the morale of the army to become increasingly depressed.

Joseph threw two Rifles to the shop owner, took two cups of brandy, and called the back of the man and stared at the street corner, thinking about how to ambush a cannon there, and then the cannon was opened and knocked his mother Napoleon and sat down by the window near the street.

The two of them had just sat down and took a few sips when they heard the noise outside, followed by gunfire, followed by screams and cries, mixed together, and a mess.

"What's wrong?" Joseph stood up and looked outside.

A man hurriedly ran in and shouted pale: "French people, the French people rob things and killed people!"

...

In a short time, the French lost their hearts in Belgium. At the beginning, at least most ordinary people in the Belgian region were sincerely looking forward to the arrival of the French army. However, the various actions of the French army turned their dreams into nightmare. Many people who were flirting with the French during Austrian rule have now started to hook up with Audi. It can even be said that once Austria starts to counterattack, the entire Belgium may stand up against France.

However, it took too much money to solve the financial difficulties and prepare for the upcoming second round of war of interference that the mere confiscation of land for the royal family and some of the nobles was not enough. The French government needed to make more money from Belgium.

The National Assembly sent a large number of special commissioners to Belgium to get more money from these places.

Direct plundering is obviously inefficient and will cause a lot of trouble, and even economically, it may be less than worth the loss. Therefore, the leaders of the National Assembly came up with such an idea.

In any place, war should be accompanied by revolutionary measures. No matter where, all the property of those churches, nobles, and all their lackeys who hate the revolution should be confiscated for the cause of revolution. (mainly as collateral for the referential coupons) and the eleventh tax and sovereignty in the liberated areas will be abolished, and the old taxes will be abolished, and taxes will be increased for the local rich people. All administrative systems in the liberated areas will be reformed, and only those who swear to freedom and give up all privileges will enjoy the right to vote and the right to be elected. At the same time, in order to avoid the flow of coins into these areas and to flow out of France here, the use of coins in these areas should be prohibited, and the use of referential coupons in these areas should be forbidden.

They felt that doing so would separate the lower-class people from the upper-class feudal lords from the upper-class people.

Councillor Kang Peng, who made the proposal, declared: "Fire fire at the palace and give peace to the huts. So that we can gain a foothold anywhere."

This proposal was supported by most members of parliament and was successfully passed. However, Robespierre told Danton in private: "Kangpeng's idea is beautiful, but I always worry that in actual implementation, it may become distorted. We actually lack the ability to ensure that this decree does not distort. I worry that this decree that looks beautiful will turn into a nightmare when it is implemented. What's more, even in China, not many people are willing to accept the coupons..."

"The road to hell is often paved with good intentions," Dandong said. "But for the moment, we can only do this."

In order to effectively implement this decree, the parliament sent thirty commissioners to Belgium in one breath, and Kang Peng, who proposed this plan, was naturally one of them.

But as Robespierre is worried, many times, once the policy falls to the implementation level, it will be completely deformed. Those commissioners have great power, and they can take action first and then report most of the matters, and decide in one sentence, and even surpass the so-called imperial envoys in the past in terms of power. However, not every commissioner is a "non-corrosive" like Robespierre. It can even be said that the vast majority of commissioners are taking advantage of this opportunity to fill their pockets.

In just a few months, Connon commissioner raised as many as 64 million livres for the Republic in Belgium, but the entire Belgium, even the French, who were planning to win over, lived in the lower floor of the "thick hut", was very angry with the French.
