King's Landing in France

Page 129

"Yesterday, after we vetoed the execution of Louis XVII, the masses immediately burst into outcry, so today, we will continue to discuss whether to execute Louis XVII! This also responds to the voice of the people of Paris!"

After the words fell, the crowd in the stands shouted loudly: "Execute him!"

"Hang the king!"

"He should be responsible for our deaths and injuries that night!"

"My brother died in the battle with the Royal Party! Why is the leader of the Royal Party alive!"

An Ning saw that the masses were also going to execute Louis XVII, so what are you waiting for!

Just at this time, Robespierre announced the start of the meeting, so An Ning planned to speak directly to respond to the voice of the masses.

Unexpectedly, he hadn't acted yet, and stood up alone.

An Ning almost didn't recognize this one, until he opened his mouth and realized that this was the famous chameleon Talleyrand!

——Hey, Mr. Bishop, you have gained a lot of weight during the years of the revolution!So fat I don't even recognize it!

After Talleyrand stood up, he glanced at An Ning, and the expression on his face seemed to say, "I fully understand, leave it to me."

An Ning raised her eyebrows, wondering if this chameleon already understood the meaning of my presence in the council?

Then, in order to prevent me from becoming a kinslayer, he decided to call on everyone to try Louis XVII instead of me?

It is indeed the most famous chameleon in Fage, and I really understand it!

When An Ning thought about it, Talleyrand said: "Everyone! We all know that the people in Paris strongly demand the execution of Louis XVII. Their anger cannot be calmed down!"

An Ning thought, yes, yes, Talleyrand, that's it!

Talleyrand took another look at An Ning, and then continued: "That's why we voted down the proposal to try Louis XVII yesterday, which caused an uproar! We have to reconsider today!

"Everyone! For the sake of the new republic, it is necessary to completely liquidate the previous feudal system, and a king must be killed!"

The people in the stands applauded like crazy, An Ning was also very happy, you did a good job, Talleyrand!

So I don't have to say it myself!Although my fiancée has given up on his younger brother, my father-in-law still misses him. I personally propose to execute him, which will make my father-in-law sad.

You are doing very well, Talleyrand!

At this time, Talleyrand suppressed everyone's cheers with both hands, and continued solemnly: "But, everyone, think about it, just execute a king at will?"

An Ning: Huh?

Talleyrand, what do you want?

Talleyrand: "The Louis XVII we are imprisoning now, to put it bluntly, is just a puppet supported by the royal party! Can we be satisfied if we execute him? No! The real chief culprit of the royal party is also the evidence of treason. The traitors of the country are Louis XVI and his Austrian girls who are now in Vienna!

"What we should try is not the puppet Louis XVII, but the real culprit, Louis XVI! If we try Louis XVII and execute him triumphantly, the royal party will laugh at us instead!"

peaceful:?

Talleyrand raised his arms and shouted: "We should go all out to support General Frost. I believe that the general will be able to turn the tide and defeat the Prussian-Austrian coalition forces who are close at hand, and then fight to the Vienna area to kill the evil Louis XVI, brought back with his Austrian temptress, to be judged by the Republic!"

peaceful:? ? ?

Talleyrand: "That must be why General Frost was present at the meeting!"

I'm not, I'm not!Don't talk nonsense!

Chapter 219 Your Excellency General Decided to Exile Brother-in-law

Talleyrand continued: "General Frost was the greatest enemy of Louis XVI. When Louis XVI was still the king of France, the general personally led the great cause of conquering the Bastille and expressed his dissatisfaction to him!

"Later, the general sang against Louis XVI over and over again! He took the lead in rejecting the deliberations in groups, breaking the barrier between the three levels of the three-level parliament! He forced Louis XVI to move from the Versailles Palace in the suburbs to Duin Leli palace!

"He is the thorn in Louis XVI's side, the thorn in his flesh!

"He must be trying to remind us that the real enemy is in Austria! In Schönbrunn Palace!

"We were confused by a mere puppet. The general must be heartbroken! The real enemy is Louis XVI... No, there is no king now, and we should not call him the title of king! The real enemy is Louis XVI." Cape!

"People of Paris! Aim your anger at Louis Capet! It is Louis Capet that you should hate! It is Louis Capet that you should be hostile to!"

The people who were still howling to execute Louis XVII just now have been taken into the ditch by Talleyrand. As soon as Talleyrand finished speaking, someone shouted: "Execute Louis Capet!"

An Ning wanted to support his forehead, but Talleyrand's rhythm was all off the track. If this continues, Louis XVII probably won't die.

Someone needs to change the situation!

Talleyrand sat down, and he looked at An Ning with an expression of asking for credit.

An Ning didn't know whether to laugh or cry, this chameleon definitely stood up because he wanted to get some benefits from sitting on the wall. He misunderstood that An Ning was here to protect Louis XVII.

And his power is a bit strong...

It is worthy of being a famous chameleon in the original history, and a wall-riding expert like Fouché.

An Ning was thinking about what to do when Mara stood up.

As soon as he stood up, he exchanged a glance with An Ning, with an expression of "Leave it to me".

Mara knew An Ning's true thoughts, and he would definitely guide public opinion back to the direction An Ning hoped for.

It's up to you, Marla!

Marat spoke: "Although Talleyrand's words are reasonable, we have to try Louis XVII. After all, Louis XVII and his henchmen killed many patriots..."

As soon as the words fell, someone in the stands roared passionately: "So you want to let Louis XVI go?"

"Execute a puppet and let the royal party laugh at us?"

It's over, a considerable part of the people has been persuaded by Talleyrand.

Mara glanced at the people in the stands, and immediately clarified: "Of course I didn't mean that! I mean, both of them will die! We can execute one first..."

At this time, Fouche stood up!

Fouché: "What if Austria refuses to return Louis XVI after we have executed Louis XVII? No, we cannot execute Louis XVII, at least not until Austria returns Louis XVI! I mean, Louis Capet! He cannot be executed until he is returned to Louis Capet!"

Peace of mind.

Damn it, Fouché's reason sounds quite reasonable.

Mara was stunned: "This...then we can wait until Louis Capet is captured, and then execute them together!"

He gave in!Mara, who has such a fighting spirit, gave in!

Just because what Fouché said is so reasonable!

The crowd shouted excitedly: "Catch Louis Capet!"

"Execute the chief villain, Louis Capet!"

An Ning understood that it would be impossible for him not to arrest Louis Capet now. No matter how many great achievements he had made in the past, as long as he failed to do this, the public's attitude towards him would change drastically.

Originally, An Ning thought that as long as he fought a Paris defense battle in Paris and repelled the Prussian-Austrian coalition forces, it would be over. Now it is not enough to just repel. He has to attack Austria, approaching Vienna, and defeat Luiga. Pei and his wife Mary came back.

The difficulty of this Nima has increased by several orders of magnitude.

Originally it was just defense, it was enough to rely on the right time, place and people to defend, but now it is time to attack.

And it's not a simple attack, it's an attack that spans almost half of Europe.

From Paris to Vienna, it takes more than half of Shinra.

Even if it is more difficult, it seems that Louis XVII will not die now—unless I stand up now and yell, even if Louis XVII is executed now, I am sure to rush to Vienna and capture Louis Capet.

It is estimated that Louis XVII is still a dead word.

But An Ning saw his father-in-law, who is very happy now, if he stood up at this time and pressed his son to death...

Damn, I can't bear it.

How did things get so bad.

An Ning thought about it, but she still couldn't leave her brother-in-law in the country to cause trouble for herself. Since it was impossible to kill him under the circumstances, it would be okay to exile, right?

Exile to the island of Corsica, let him do his best in Corsica.

So An Ning stood up directly: "Everyone!"

All of a sudden, the whole meeting place fell silent.

An Ning: "Your speeches are very correct, but obviously, it is wrong not to punish Louis XVII. The revolutionaries who died in the confrontation with the royal party will not agree! I propose that Louis XVII be exiled to Corcy Go to Kashima! Let him never, never return to France!"

When An Ning said this, Mr. Equality let out a long sigh of relief.

Someone immediately stood up and echoed: "Yes, let him get out of France forever, so that Louis Capet and the Austrian court can also be paralyzed!"

Other MPs chanted: "Exile!"

The crowd in the stands also shouted: "Exile!"

After An Ning finished speaking, he looked at his old father-in-law, wondering if he could see, I have fulfilled your wish, and let go of your son, the coal in your territory, your chamber of commerce, your palace and workshop, do you know how to do it?

Mr. Equality looked at An Ning with tears in his eyes, his face full of gratitude.

Forget it, after such a calculation, he is still the one who benefits.

Even if Mr. Equality has scattered a lot of family wealth now, it is still quite wealthy, and there is still the most important coal in the industrial revolution in the territory.

Relying on the exile of my brother-in-law, I won the full support of Mr. Equality, which is not a loss.

The only problem is that it is necessary to enter Vienna to capture Louis Capet and his Austrian temptress.

That brat Louis XVII wants to do something, let him do it in Corsica. If he dares to return to France, it doesn't matter if he is dealt with at that time.

After all, communication and transportation are inconvenient in this era. Let alone Paris in Corsica, it is difficult to affect cities such as Marseille and Toulon in southern France.

As for how to break into Vienna... Damn it, let's fight a Paris defense battle first, consume the enemy's morale and supplies in the defense, and launch a full-scale counterattack when Lazar Cano has assembled enough troops.

At that time, we will consider how to go to Vienna to catch Louis Capet.

Chapter 220 General Frost Inspects Sedan Fortress

Although it was only exile for Louis XVII, it still caused a fierce reaction from the royal party.

Of course, the Royalists in Paris have either exposed their dead bodies on the streets or hid them. In short, Paris is still calm.

But the surrounding cities and villages are not as stable as Paris. In many places, the royalists massacre patriots.

The patriots and the National Guard were stimulated, and in turn, a large number of royalists were arrested and tried.

The compulsory conscription law passed by the National Assembly before had a very bad effect at this time. Compulsory conscription pushed many originally neutral farmers to the royal party.

Before the Jacobins wanted to follow Anning’s practice in the south to divide the land, but the bill was blocked by Louis XVII and could not be implemented. He was cornered.

The funniest thing is that it was Louis XVII who obviously blocked the land division law, but the old farmers who didn't even know a few big characters didn't care about it. They thought it was the National Assembly that took the king away, which made the situation so bad.

In Paris, news of riots broke out in new places every day, and the whole Paris was panicked.

At this time, An Ning was regarded as a life-saving straw by everyone. Wherever he went, the Parisians grabbed his hand and said, "It's all up to you, we're all counting on you!"

On An Ning's side, they have been preparing for the upcoming decisive battle.

The Republic established the Ministry of War, and Lazarcano served as the Minister of War under An Ning's recommendation, leading the army's preparation and training.

The National Assembly also issued three decrees calling on patriots across the country to defend Paris, and armies of patriots continued to come to Paris from all over the country.

However, as the country fell into chaos, the number of troops from the north began to decrease sharply, and troops from the relatively stable south continued to arrive.

An Ning repeatedly emphasized to Robespierre and the others that this was the result of the division of fields, and the farmers were willing to join the army in order to defend the fields they had just acquired.

So on March 3, the parliament once again passed the law confiscating the land of feudal nobles and distributing it to farmers across the country.

Many councilors who were nobles voted against it, and they were branded as enemies of the republic, traitors, and swiftly tried and executed.

Danton shouted loudly in the parliament: "Now the Republic has reached the most dangerous time, and only thorough, cruelty and terror to the enemy can save the Republic!"

Set up the guillotine on Revolution Square, spreading terror day and night, executing the enemies of the Republic with astonishing efficiency.

Amidst this horror and bloodshed, a piece of news came.

The Prussian-Austrian coalition forces finally crossed the French border.

※※※

When the news came, An Ning was inspecting Sedan Fortress.

He doesn't know what the Sedan Fortress looked like in history, but the Sedan Fortress in this time and space is a very standard bastion fortress.

The corners of the fortress were all built into a prismatic shape, and the shooting blind spots were filled with the walls protruding outward.
