Numerous attempts on the life of Richelieu made it necessary to organize his personal protection. This is how the cardinal's musketeers appeared, whom Dumas mistakenly called the guards. Unlike the king's musketeers, who wore blue cloaks, Richelieu's guards shone red - the color of the cardinal's robes.
Having taken the post of minister, Richelieu tried to introduce a number of significant reforms designed to strengthen royal power. One of the main tasks was to establish peace in the long-suffering country. To begin with, it was necessary to calm down the rampant "front of princes", seeking to wrest privileges and money from the king. Richelieu advised the king to stop making concessions and took a hard line to curb the recalcitrant aristocrats. He almost managed to throw a bridle on the restless relatives of the monarch, humbled their exorbitant pride. The cardinal did not hesitate to shed the blood of the rebels, regardless of their position. The execution of one of the first persons of the country, the Duke of Mont Morency, made the aristocracy shudder with horror.
Second in line was the task of pacifying the Huguenots, who had enjoyed great rights since the time of Henry IV. The Huguenots created real small states on the territory of France, ready to disobey at any moment. The center of resistance of the Huguenots was the fortified and independent fortress of La Rochelle.

Richelieu believed that the time had come to put an end to the Huguenot freemen. A suitable opportunity did not take long to present itself. In 1627, relations with England escalated, which was concerned about the construction of the fleet begun by Richelieu. The politicians of foggy Albion decided to cause confusion in the possessions of their neighbor by raising a rebellion in La Rochelle. The French army coped with the English landing quite easily, but the siege of the rebellious fortress dragged on for two whole years. Finally, in 1628, broken by hunger and having lost all hope of help, the defenders of the fortress laid down their arms. On the advice of Richelieu, the king granted forgiveness to the survivors and confirmed freedom of religion, depriving the Huguenots of only privileges. The Protestant Languedoc lost its liberties in 1629. No religious persecution ensued. Cardinal Richelieu proved too political to try to impose religious homogeneity on the country, the chimera that Rome advocated. However, thanks to such tactics, the cardinal made enemies among the ministers of the church.
