Although it was only an exile for Louis XVII, it still provoked a fierce reaction from the Royalists.
Of course, the Royalists in Paris were either already dead and exposed on the streets or had gone into hiding; overall, Paris remained tranquil.
However, in the surrounding cities and countryside, the situation was not as stable, and many places saw Royalists rise up and massacre the Patriots.
In response, the Patriots and the National Guard were provoked, leading to mass arrests and trials of Royalists.
The conscription law passed earlier by the National Assembly had a very negative effect at this time, pushing many originally neutral peasants towards the Royalists.
Previously, the Jacobin faction wanted to imitate Anning's method in the south by distributing land, but the bill was blocked by Louis XVII and not implemented. The peasants still had to buy their land with their own money, and now they were also forced into military service, which drove them to desperation.
