King's Landing in France

Chapter 103 Go Back to Paris
When Dandong arrived, An Ning was playing bridge with some local gentlemen in her office.

After all, he didn't get the news that Dandong would come.

After the attendant knocked on the door and came in, he said to An Ning, "Commander, there is a gentleman from Paris who says he is your friend."

An Ning frowned: "I have many friends in Paris, which one is it?"

"It's this one!"

Dandong's voice made An Ning look up.

"Dandong!" An Ning was overjoyed, throwing down the bridge and said to several local gentlemen, "Let's come here today. There is a distinguished guest from Paris. I want to find a distinguished guest."

The gentlemen nodded and stood up to say goodbye to An Ning.

When they left the room, Danton asked, "Who are these people?"

"Oh, it's the local grain merchants and cloth merchants," An Ning waved his hand, "I gave them the title of member of the National Assembly and pulled them into the local assembly. You must know that my troops will be stationed here permanently, and they cannot leave their support."

Danton was shocked: "Do you still want to stay here permanently? The whole of Paris is waiting for your triumphant return! Everyone wants to meet the great hero who defeated 1000 enemy troops with more than [-] people."

An Ning: "Twenty thousand enemy troops? The conscience of heaven and earth, the rebels in the entire Kongta don't add up to [-]..."

"But people in Paris say that you defeated [-] enemy troops, and some people swear that you can do this because you singled out the enemy leaders before the battle, and you killed more than a dozen rebels in a row. Army chief!"

——Am I fucking Guan Yu?

Warm wine and kill the leader of the rebel army, right?That's not right, I have to have Zhang Fei playing the drums for me to warm wine and kill people!

While An Ning was shocked, Danton continued: "Maximilian proposed in the parliament to grant you the rank of brigadier general. He said, 'If such a soldier is not a general, I will suspect that something is wrong with our military system'."

—Robespierre, what are you doing!Just take care of yourself!
Danton: "Later, it was Lafayette who said that the matter of promotion should wait until you return to Paris, at least you should listen to your report on the battle situation first.

"I see, Lafayette just doesn't want you to be promoted. It is said that he originally wanted to delay sending troops and let you be dealt with by tens of thousands of rebels. I didn't expect you to directly defeat the rebels!

"It's amazing, how did you manage to defeat 2000 people with less than 2 people?"

"Uh, as I said just now, I didn't defeat 2 people..."

"Then why don't you go back to Paris to explain the situation?" Dandong interrupted An Ning, "If you don't go back to Paris, everyone will pass on your victory as defeating 10 people!"

Good guy, two thousand to one hundred thousand?Am I the Astartes in Warhammer 40 led by me?

Danton: "Look at you, you are so shocked, go back to Paris! I don't understand, you don't go back to Paris as soon as possible, and take advantage of the prestige of the big victory to become the opinion leader of the parliament, what are you doing here?"

——I stayed in Konta because I didn’t want to be an opinion leader!

If this continues, I will become the mainstay of the revolution, and I'm still riding a fart wall!

An Ning: "It's like this. I found that I am actually more suitable for leading troops to fight than holding meetings with gentlemen in the parliament. Next, I am going to continue to lead troops to garrison in Konta to prevent the continued rebellion here."

Danton: "Then you can play bridge here?"

"Playing bridge is also part of the job, it's to win over the local gentry." An Ning explained.

"Okay, I understand." Danton nodded, "In short, Paris still has to go back, you have to return, right? And since you won the battle, the king is looking forward to your return, because your victory and the royal family's prestige also It has improved a lot. I heard that His Majesty is planning to give you a title!"

An Ning: "It's a great revolution, why do I still need a title? After the August Declaration, the peasants sent the nobles from all over the place to the gallows. I don't want to be with them."

Danton: "I know that you are devoted to revolution. No one is more passionate about revolution than you."

- what the hell?

Dandong, my friend, you have misunderstood me a bit!
But this misunderstanding couldn't be explained yet, so An Ning could only accept it: "Okay, okay, I'll transfer a company right away, and I'll take the masterminds of the Konta rebellion to Paris in a few days."

An Ning paused, and added: "I still have to pay back the military funds that the Duke of Orleans lent me."

Of course An Ning remembered the ten thousand crown silver coin given to him by the Duke of Orleans.

He was going to return the duke twenty thousand crowns.

Anyway, now An Ning has money, a whole cathedral worth of gold and silver.

Dandong: "That's a good relationship, then I'll stay here for a few days, just to play bridge with you!"

**
A few days later, the troops returning to Paris were decided.

An Ning mobilized a company of infantry, plus all the cavalry, to form a large force back to Paris.

The rest of the troops remained at Konta, led by Lieutenant Russell.

Danton was shocked when he heard this arrangement: "Russell? Isn't he the mason you promoted? You really let him lead the entire army?"

Anning responded: "What's wrong with the mason, I'm still a cobbler. Russell has performed well in the counter-insurgency battle and can be trusted."

Dandong: "Well, you are the god of war who just won a big battle, the magician of the battlefield, you have the final say."

An Ning: "Why do you call me the magician of the battlefield?"

"I went to the tavern yesterday and heard that's what the locals call you. I think it's a good name, it suits you. You beat 2000 people with 10 people-I mean, 1 people, it's like magic. .”

An Ning could only shake his head.

Another day later, preparations for returning to Paris were completed, and the troops assembled at the gate of the abbey.

An Ning ordered two prison cars to detain the original cardinal of Konta and the abbots of various monasteries.

Christina led the cavalry girls in front of the prison wagon, and a company selected by An Ning stood behind the prison wagon.

As for An Ning himself, he rode a big white horse at the head of the procession, and Dan Dong rode beside him.

When this army left the city of Konta, the people of Konta rushed to the street and watched on both sides of the street.

Seeing the former bishops on the prison van, the crowd bowed their heads and crossed themselves.

Seeing this, Dandong said to An Ning, "You are really amazing, you can make these religious believers so docilely watch their bishop be taken away."

"They are so obedient because the grain merchants that I subsidized after I arrived increased the purchase price of grain, allowing them to collect grain at a high price and sell it at a low price. I made up the difference with the property of the church."

Dandong was a little surprised and asked: "If you do this, can you afford it financially?"

An Ning smiled: "You don't know how much gold and silver I found in the church in this place. These priests are simply vampires, and they have sucked the flesh and blood of the citizens."

Danton agreed: "Indeed, since the church's property was confiscated, Paris' finances have been greatly relieved, and the parliament can finally settle down and formulate a constitution. Then everything will develop in a good direction. In my opinion, the revolution will soon It's over!"

An Ning, who had read the historical script, chose to remain silent at this time.

At this time, a wind blew from behind, bringing the military song sung by the infantry troops walking behind.

Dandong turned his head and listened for a few seconds, then asked An Ning: "What's the matter with this song?"
