236 years ago today, July 14, 1789 (May 22, 1789, the French Revolution: The Bastille raised the tricolour flag. In 1788, French agriculture suffered severe natural disasters for two consecutive years. Food shortages, soaring prices, and the treasury was empty. The people's resistance movement became increasingly strong. In order to get out of trouble and solve the financial crisis, Louis XVI, the then King of the French Bourbon Dynasty, had no choice but to convene a three-level meeting at the Palace of Versailles on May 5, 1789, which had been suspended for 175 years. According to France's feudal hierarchy, monks are the first rank, aristocrats are the second rank, and farmers, workers, urban civilians and bourgeoisie belong to the third rank. The first and second are the privileged ranks, and the third rank is the ruled without power. Since Louis XVI was bent on collecting new taxes through a conference and refused to introduce any reform, he ordered that the three levels should proceed separately. On June 17, the Third Estate declared, without Louis XVI's approval, that their meeting would be called the "National Assembly" and would act in the interests of all citizens. Later, the National Assembly was renamed the "Constitutional Convention" because it began drafting the constitution. During the three-level meeting, the people of Paris have been paying close attention to the progress of the meeting and actively supported the struggle of the third-level representatives. When they learned that Louis XVI was secretly playing a plot to undermine the Constitutional Convention, mobilizing troops to prepare for violent suppression, and removing Reich, the reform-minded Financial Controller, revolutionary sentiment against feudal autocracy rose even more. On July 12, the people of Paris took to the streets to demonstrate and spontaneously fought against the reactionary army. Early the next morning, bells echoed over Paris. The people picked up axes, knives, pistols, and stones and began an armed uprising, quickly occupying most of Paris. That night, the uprising people also seized tens of thousands of guns from the arsenal and the Disabled Soldiers 'Hospital, making the revolutionary force even stronger. On July 14, when the crowd discovered that one of the king's cavalry was driving towards the Bastille prison in eastern Paris, where political prisoners were held, the insurgents shouted "Go to the Bastille!" The slogan of "the", launched an overwhelming attack on this fortress symbolizing feudal autocratic rule. They cut the chains of the prison suspension bridge, rushed in, and fought fiercely with the garrison. Finally, they killed the garrison commander, destroyed the prison, and raised a red, white and blue tricolour flag at the bottom of the Bastille. Batu di is conquered! It marked the official outbreak of the French bourgeois revolution. This day later became the National Day of France.

France's political situation is unpredictable and the situation is surging. In the early days of the Great Revolution, the bourgeois Girondins, who represented the interests of the industrial and commercial class, took power and established a constitutional monarchy. However, in 1791, King Louis XVI colluded with foreign reactionary forces. As a result, the conspiracy was exposed, the royal government was abolished, and the French Kingdom was changed into the French Republic. Louis XVI was executed in early 1793. In June of the same year, the Jacobins, the bourgeois democratic party led by Robespierre, took power. The French Revolution reached its climax, but the first Anti-French Alliance was established.

Therefore, he was appreciated by the Jacobins and was promoted to brigadier general across the Alps. In the Thermidor coup of 1794, Napoleon was investigated for his close relationship with the Robespierre brothers, but was later removed from the rank of brigadier general after refusing to serve in the infantry of the Italian Legion. In 1795, he was entrusted by the governor of Paris, Barras, to successfully suppress the royalist armed rebellion, which was the famous battle to suppress the royalist party.
