As the situation progressed, Paul's adjustment of the government was gradually becoming more and more tasteful, and some officials and nobles who had offended or slandered Paul before were transferred from important positions, and in late June 1789, Paul, who had largely completed the change of government blood, attacked these nobles.
The first is the once powerful Potemkin's family, since Catherine II got acquainted with Potemkin, the empress began to favor Potemkin for more than ten years, and this favor has benefited all the Potemkin family members immensely, with the rise of Potemkin's status, from a small soldier to the Duke of the Empire, the Marshal of the Empire!
Naturally, his family is also a person who has attained Taoism and ascended to heaven.
And with the improvement of status, as a thorn in the side of Catherine II, the Potemkin family naturally used bullying Paul as one of the bargaining chips for loyalty to the empress, and now that the empress is dead, Paul has been crowned the tsar of the empire, how can the Potemkin family, which once offended Paul, continue to be peaceful.
On June 29, the Russian Imperial Guard besieged the estate where the Potemkin family lived and arrested all the Potemkin family members, including servants and serfs, in the name of Potemkin's treason, and the next day, on June 30, in the presence of Paul in court, the imperial officials declared Potemkin guilty of treason, on the grounds that in the Polish War a few years earlier, Potemkin's reckless behavior of protecting Kutuzov had caused immeasurable losses to the empire!
After the treason was declared, the Guards executed all the members of the Potemkin family on the same day, and Paul later arrested Potemkin's descendants in the Russian army.
And Kutuzov, who was stationed in Russian Poland, naturally became the one who must be killed in the decree of Paul I.
Paul's actions not only panicked the generals in the army who were close to Potemkin, but also caused panic in the entire empire.
The nobles who had previously misbehaved Paul were all at risk.
In the face of this situation, Paul not only did not relent, but intensified some of them, and with the decree of Paul I, more than 20 noble families in St.
Petersburg were arrested. .........................................
William looked at the latest information about the Russian Empire and couldn't help but sigh at the fate of Catherine II, whose majesty had grieved for Potemkin's death in 1791 and died in 1796.
And now.
The death of the magnate of the Russian Empire was seven years earlier than the original history, and her death was really full of conspiracy, and as the greatest beneficiary of the empress's death, Paul I was naturally the biggest suspect.
Upon learning of Paul's accession to the throne, William immediately sent a large delegation to Russia, and Paul I intended to repair relations with Prussia, and William did not want to repair relations with Russia.
Now the flames of revolution in France are on the verge of breaking out.
Under these circumstances, Prussia had to gain the benefit of the French Revolution if it wanted to achieve greater glory, and it had to be vigilant in France if it did not want to be burned by the flames of the revolution.
The revolution in France seems to have been caused by the general discontent of the population at home because of Louis XVI's proposal to raise taxes, but in fact it was not the thirst for political status among the growing capitalists in France, who possessed wealth that did not match their status.
Capitalists, with their enormous wealth, naturally crave political advancement.
This situation is not limited to France, with the progress of the times, a large number of capitalists have emerged throughout Europe, and these capitalists have used the wealth they have created to constantly seek to improve their status in various countries.
If it is said that once the French Revolution broke out.
Let those capitalists see another shortcut to improve their own status, who dares to guarantee that these capitalists will not follow suit.
As in Prussia, with the abolition of serfdom, a large number of capitalists rose up on Prussian soil, and it is hard to guarantee that they would not follow suit if they were to see the success of their French counterparts by drastic means.
In this way, whether it was to improve Prussia's international standing or to prevent domestic turmoil, Prussia's action to suppress the revolution was necessary and inevitable.
And if Prussia is devoting most of its energies to the French side, then on the Eastern Front, Prussia must change the current situation in which the two countries seem to be enemies but not enemies.
It can be said that William and Paul's attitude is simply a hit off.
In Paris, Marie looked at the list of members of the Brittany Club captured by Napoleon.
Looking at the familiar names, Marie suddenly felt that her actions were right or wrong, and if all the people on the list were to be judged, the whole of France would definitely immediately boil.
"Napoleon, are you sure this list is true?"
Hearing Mary's question, Napoleon's brow furrowed slightly, obviously he was dissatisfied with the authenticity of Mary's list of suspicions, but Napoleon was still loyal to Mary after all "Your Royal Highness, this list was personally searched by me from the Brittany Club, I think this list is absolutely true and reliable, and the names of more than 200 rebels arrested in the Brittany Club this time are all on the list, so Your Highness, I think there is absolutely no problem with this list!"
Napoleon's firmness surprised Mary's face, but then Mary said earnestly: "Napoleon, I am naturally relieved that you are doing things, how can I not believe you, but this list involves too many people, we must deal with it carefully!"
"Your Royal Highness, you have already told me about the impact of this incident when I arrested the rebels of the Brittany Club, but I think that now that those people have been arrested by us, if we cannot punish them in time, then it will be a devastating blow to the reputation of the royal family.
All in all, my opinion is that since we are already happy to act, we must not look ahead, no matter how turbulent this incident may cause, but our hearts should be firm at this moment!
” An impassioned remark cast a veil over Mary's eyes, and after a moment Mary burst into laughter, and said with relief: "Our Napoleon is no longer the little child he used to be, he already has his own opinions, well, since you say so, then I, as your sister, naturally believe in you unconditionally.
Remember, Napoleon, no matter what you do, I am your strongest backing!
” Looking at Mary's reddened eyes, Napoleon's heart suddenly swelled with a trace of emotion, this queen's dedication to France is enough to make people feel admired, and now her unreserved trust is naturally to make Napoleon willing to die!
Napoleon stood upright, saluted Mary, and left the room without hesitation.
Breton Club members arrested!
The news was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, but it caused an uproar.
The day after the news broke, the whole of Paris seemed to be boiling, and the families and sympathizers of the members spontaneously began to march on the main streets of Paris, and not only that, but a large crowd gathered at the gates of the Paris Garrison Command and the Royal Palace to demonstrate, and these people waved the banner of "unconditional release of the members of the Brittany Club".
When Napoleon received the news, he immediately ordered the guards in Paris to guard and guide the crowd of demonstrators, and not only that, but Napoleon also asked Marie for the cooperation of the First Army outside the city.
Surprisingly, however, the arrival of the soldiers of the First Legion not only did not calm the situation, but rather escalated it.
"The royal family is about to crack down on all representatives of the commoners in the city of Paris" "The king's minions are about to be purged in Paris....." “.............................”
All kinds of rumors spread in Paris at an incredible speed, and the people became even more agitated by the inducements of such rumors.
On the 20th of July, a group of civilians suddenly stormed the garrison headquarters, and the guards of the garrison headquarters shot at the civilians who had lost control despite the failure of dissuasion.

A gunshot shook the whole of Paris, and the people who were originally dissatisfied with the royal family exploded in an instant after such a move.
I don't know when it started, but a large number of armed men with weapons suddenly appeared in Paris, and these militants shouted "Get rid of the Austrians!"
"Paris is the Paris of the French!
"Kill that whore and her Corsican lackeys!"
”.............
After these militants rushed into the streets, they kept calling friends, and under the bewitchment of these people, the already panicked people joined the ranks of these militants as if they had found the backbone.
It snowballed, and in just a few hours, Marie and Napoleon received urgent information from all over the world.
A large number of unidentified militants are besieging important places such as royal palaces and government residences, and not only that, but as time goes by, the ranks of those militants are getting bigger and bigger, some even reaching the size of thousands of people!
