Demoulain was born in Gith, Enna Province, Piccadilly. His father is a local judge, and with the help of his friends, he won a place for his son in Paris Louis legrand Middle School? Scholarship. He entered this school at the age of 14, and robespierre was also studying in this school. De Moline was an excellent student, where he fell in love with the classical works of Cicero, Tacitus and Levi. His father arranged for him to be a lawyer. 1785 He was admitted to the Supreme Court as a lawyer. But he didn't do well, because he had a fierce attitude and stuttered badly. This turned him to writing. His concern for public affairs led to his political career.
1789 In March, Demoulain came to Laos to serve as the election commissioner for delegates to the third-level conference. As a witness of the third-level meeting of1May 5, 789, Demoulain wrote a short poem Odeaux Etats Generalaux, and then Count Bao of Milla asked him to write for his newspaper, but the newspaper only survived for one day and was banned by the royal decree of1May 6, 789.
Due to his failure in the field of law, De Moline's life in Paris was rather embarrassing. However, he showed enthusiasm for the political changes predicted by the third-level meeting. According to his letter to his father, he was excited to watch the delegates at Versailles Palace, and he was indignant at the subsequent closure of Salle des Menus (the delegates called themselves the National Assembly), which triggered the "tennis hall oath".

Jacques Necker was suddenly deposed by King Louis XVI, which brought prestige to Demoulain. On July 1789 and 12, he jumped on the table outside a cafe in the garden of the Royal Palace in Paris and announced to the crowd that the reformer had been dismissed. Because of excitement, he obviously didn't stutter at this moment, and made a speech to the excited crowd, calling on them to "take up arms and prepare for battle, and wear hats and badges to identify each other", and said that "this dissolution is a wake-up call for the Patriots to carry out the San Bartholme massacre!" , claiming that the massacre of reformists is already in preparation.
He wears green, because green represents freedom, and people follow him, because he has become their leader. Finally, he took out two pistols from his coat and announced that he would not fall into the hands of the police who were monitoring his activities.

Since Demoulain, riots have spread all over Paris. 13 In July, mobs forcibly seized weapons and formed a Paris militia. On July 14, the Bastille was captured.
The next day, De Moline began the most famous stage of his writing career. 1789 In May and June, he wrote La France Libre, which was rejected by the publishing house. However, the capture of the Bastille is a sign of the changes of the times. On July 18, De Moline's works were published, which greatly promoted public opinion. This book clearly calls for the establishment of a Republic. In the sixth edition, it says: "... the people's democratic government is the only government suitable for France and all governments worthy of human title." Free France also examines in detail the rights of kings, nobles, Roman Catholic clergy and people. Immediately became popular, Demoulain is undoubtedly the partner of Count Bao of Milla. It was immediately slandered by royalist pamphlets.
He not only called for democracy, but also supported * * * and political power. He was the first member of Deliere Club composed of revolutionaries who advocated * * * and political power.
He published The Parisian Talk, which attracted the lower classes with excitement. The title is quoted from the Gospel of John, Qui male agit odit lucem ("All who do evil hate the light" John 3:20). Examples of black humor mentioned that mobs used iron lampstands as temporary gallows at the intersection of gref Road and Vannerieof to hang suspected spies and profiteers. The famous revolutionary song "Ca ira" ("everything will be fine") has a line "les aristocrat a la lanterne. On les pendra (Take the Noble to the Lighthouse and Hang). Because of this pamphlet, Demoulain is called "Attorney General of Lighthouse". In this pamphlet, he believes that revolutionary violence is justified.
1789, 165438+ 10, he started his career as a journalist and founded the first weekly newspaper, History des ré revolutions de France et de brabant, which was closed in July. This newspaper sold well from the first issue to the last issue. Demulan became very famous and was no longer poor. In revolutionary Paris, Historical Revolution is a popular way of thinking, but it has been criticized for its extremely intense tone.
During the French and brabant revolutions, scholars began to notice that Demoulain was a "capricious" author. With the progress of the revolution, the French government was seriously short of money, and the country entered inflation. Demoulain did not point this out, but "painted a completely wrong picture of the situation". Demoulain's friendship with Mirabaud, Malouet and other important people was damaged by his behavior. Both of them hated his slanderous remarks, claiming that Demoulain should be accused, and Malouet "even demanded to prove that Camille was crazy". Robespierre came to rescue De Moline to protect his childhood friend and prevent him from being arrested.

Demoulain was influenced by revolutionary theorists-1791Before Count Bao of Milla died in April, he began to cooperate with George Jacques Denton (for the rest of his life). 1791July, he appeared in front of the Paris commune, the local government in Paris, and led a collective petition to demand the removal of the king. Under the constitutional monarchy at that time, such a request was treason. This increased the unrest in the city and issued arrest warrants for him and Denton. Denton left Paris temporarily, while Demoulain chose to stay, even occasionally appearing in the Jacobin Club. After the failed attempt to arrest him, De Mullain published a pamphlet, Exposing brissot, which included fierce attacks. It originated from the conflict between the two, followed by the fragment of 1793, de l' Histoire secrè te de la Ré revolution (commonly known as Histoire des Brissotins), in which gironde, especially brissot, was attacked by populists.
Demoulain published this pamphlet in response to brissot's request to dissolve the Paris Commune and the jacobin Party. This booklet lashed out at gironde and brissot as enemies of the revolution, which led to many people being arrested and guillotined, and tarnished brissot's career. Demulan later regretted writing this pamphlet. This booklet shows those who constantly changed their views and friendship during the revolution, because brissot defended his newspaper many times when Demoulain was threatened, almost "guiding his son like a father". Brissot once warned Demoulain: "You are a young Camille Mulan, and frankness is on your lips ... but you are often fooled by being too frank."
Demoulain took an active part in the attack on Tuileries Palace on August 65, 438+00. Later, after the collapse of the Constituent Assembly, he became the secretary of Denton, the new Minister of Justice, under the situation that all factions were fighting for power and profit all over the country. On September 8, he was elected as the Paris representative of the new National Assembly, where he mainly stayed backstage, mainly as a reporter. He belongs to the Shan Party and is in favor of peace and the execution of the king. Mulan is closely related to robespierre, and The Historical Fragments of Will may be inspired by the latter. The success of this pamphlet greatly influenced the establishment of the reign of terror, and sent the leader of gironde to the guillotine. Both Dandong and the author himself proved to be shocked.
1793 65438+February, the first issue of Vieux Cordelier was published. At first, it was aimed at the Herbert doctrine and its non-Christianization purpose, which was recognized by robespierre. Use the public's anger against the Herbert doctrine and let him die. However, the third stage supported Denton's idea of forgiveness committee, which earned robespierre the title of "forgiver". This led robespierre to turn against Demoulain. Therefore, robespierre and Louis de Saint-Roster turned their attention to Enrage (the fact of Jacques Lu) and the indulgent.
1794 65438+1October 7th, robespierre (who defended Denton and Demoulain in the National Assembly) gave a speech at the Jacobin Club, urging to burn some periodicals of the old Dreier newspaper (he had not personally condemned Demoulain or Denton at that time). Demoulain quoted Rousseau (widely accepted as the rational authority of all revolutionaries) and replied: "Burning is not the answer". This implicit humiliation led to a painful conflict. By the end of March, the Herborists were guillotined and Denton, De Mulan and other moderate leaders were arrested.
On March 3rd, Kloc-0, the arrest warrant was issued and executed. On April 3rd, 4th and 5th, the trial was held in the Revolutionary Court. Asked his age at first, De Moline replied:
"I am 33 years old, the age when Jesus doesn't wear pants, the age that every patriot needs" (in fact, he is 34 years old). The meeting forbade the defendant to defend himself. Coupled with the spy's false report (accusing Demulein's wife and accomplices of plotting to let Demulein escape from prison and "destroy the country"), the prosecutor threatened the jury and sentenced him to death. The verdict was passed in the absence of the defendant, who planned to execute the death penalty that day.

There were 15 people who went to the guillotine together, Demoulain was the third and Denton was the last.
1790 65438+On February 29th, De Mullain married Lucile du plessis, and brissot and robespierre were present. Their only child, Horace Camille, was born on1July 6th, 792. Horace received a pension from the French government and died in Haiti in 1825.
Lucille was arrested only a few days later than her husband and sentenced to death on false charges. 1on April 3, 794, when she stepped onto the guillotine, she showed calmness and courage.
