King's Landing in France

Chapter 105 The Humble Mr. Frost
In a state where the big shots in Paris had their own concerns, An Ning entered the city this morning.

The crowd in Paris gathered spontaneously and "escorted" An Ning to where the National Assembly was.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, all the members of the National Assembly stood in unison on the steps outside the parliament hall—the original equestrian field—and applauded him.

Faced with this situation, An Ning was finally forced to realize one thing, that he might not be able to ride the wall in the future, because he was the wall itself.

So An Ning became more determined to stay away from Paris.

The main reason is that An Ning, in his previous life, had played reluctantly even in office fights, and he was quite aware of his own limitations.

You can still rely on your cheats for wars, right? In the war not long ago, you were able to "take off his clothes for the embarrassment of the enemy", which shows that your cheats are reliable.

The political struggle in the parliament is not a bright sword like that on the battlefield, and I might be counted into it at some point.

In fact, this time to suppress the rebellion, it was considered by Lafayette, but he was lucky and won the battle.

Paris is very dangerous, so I went back to Konta, and I just happened to have a great reputation in the Konta area. As long as I am here, the local people should not dare to rebel anymore.

It should be much safer to train troops in Konta, accumulate strength, and sit back and watch the changes in the situation than in Paris.

When the situation is critical, he can still "save" the Republic.

Anyone who has watched "The Fifth Republic" knows that the critical moment depends on losing.

While An Ning was thinking about this, the current rotating speaker of the parliament, the virtuous Pétion, stepped forward and opened his hands to An Ning: "The whole of Paris is waiting for your return, the pacifier of Konta, F Mr. Rost! Your excellent art of war has convinced the whole of Paris!"

After the words fell, all the parliamentary representatives applauded together.

An Ning saw Robespierre and other friends of An Ning applauding the most.

He got off the horse, took a step forward, and was about to speak when several children rushed forward with flowers in their arms: "Mr. Frost, this is for you!"

An Ning took the flowers and turned around to hand them to the adjutant Sergeant Kent who she brought back this time.

This sergeant was also a member of An Ning's original artillery unit. He was promoted to a non-commissioned officer just before the expedition, and then stabbed an officer and two enemy soldiers to death with a bayonet during the battle, so he was rewarded and promoted to a sergeant.

Just by looking at his face, he knew that this Kent was a fierce man. An Ning specially chose him as his adjutant to give the gentlemen in Paris a taste of the battlefield.

After handing the flowers to Kent, An Ning cleared his throat, and then said to the representatives: "Everyone, I want to make it clear that everyone in Paris is saying that I defeated 2 people, which is not true.

"The rebels in Konta only had about 8000 people in total. I defeated them twice, once with 3000 people, and the second time with more than 6000 to [-] people.

"And I can do this because my troops are well equipped. I have artillery, I have cavalry, and Konta's rebels are only infantry..."

At this time, An Ning heard someone in the crowd muttering: "Oh my God, how humble he is!"

An Ning was speechless, he only told the truth to prevent someone from taking this victory seriously and making trouble for him in the future.

If you make it clear from the beginning, you won't have to worry about it.

An Ning: "All in all, I'm not as powerful as the rumors say..."

Suddenly Robespierre yelled: "You only have 500 people, we all know that it is already amazing to defeat 3000 people, not to mention you defeated 7000 people later!"

An Ning: "This..."

Lafayette stepped forward and said to An Ning: "Mr. Frost, a hearty victory is a hearty victory. Don't compromise the glory of victory because you are too modest. This glory is not only yours. But also the entire National Assembly."

An Ning was speechless. Look at what Lafayette said, "It's not only yours, but also the National Assembly's." He quietly put An Ning's personal glory on the entire National Assembly.

It seemed that he had become a thorn in the side of the Revolutionary War hero.

If he stayed in Paris, he would definitely be tricked by Lafayette again.

At this time, Pettion also said: "Humility is a virtue, but we all know that you have accomplished an unimaginable miracle of war. You are a great military strategist!"

Good guy, I just ambushed a wave and became a great military strategist?

Speaking of which, Petion turned his head and glanced at all the members of the National Assembly, and said loudly: "I propose that Mr. Frost be the commander-in-chief of the Paris garrison in the future!"

An Ning noticed that Lafayette's eyebrows twitched.

Lafayette was the commander-in-chief of the National Guard, and the Paris National Guard was ordered to defend the city. In theory, he was the commander-in-chief of the Paris garrison.

Now this is the appointment of a garrison commander alone, which is eye salve for Lafayette.

The representatives applauded. Seeing that this was about to become a reality, An Ning said: "I am very sorry, there are still some signs of rebellion in the Konta area that have not been suppressed. I will return to Konta after staying in Paris for a while. The commander of the garrison You should hire another Gao Ming."

Petion looked surprised: "You want to go back?"

"Yes, there are still many rebels in the Konta area that have not been completely wiped out, and the people also want to restore the original status of the enclave directly under the Pope, so I must stay in Konta for a long time to guard this newly acquired territory for the National Assembly. .”

Petion stared at An Ning's face, as if he had seen through some medicine sold in An Ning's gourd.

Lafayette had the same expression.

Probably An Ning's move was beyond their expectations.

An Ning felt a little proud: Your political strugglers want to use me as a gunman, but there is no way.I have money, a gun, and a fortress-like monastery in Konta, and I am at ease.

After the initial shock, Mirabeau took a step forward: "Isn't that bad? You fought such a beautiful battle, and you should be rewarded for your merits."

An Ning smiled: "Of course, I also want some rewards. You must know that I am only a captain. It may be a bit inappropriate to lead the National Guard in the entire Konta area with the rank of captain."

Lafayette: "Of course, Mr. Robespierre has proposed that you be promoted to Brigadier General. But I see that you have not come back to report, and direct promotion is out of order, so I opposed this proposal."

An Ning: "Is it just a brigadier general? I'm going to be the military chief of the Konta area. Is it more appropriate to give me a lieutenant general?"

Lafayette's eyes on An Ning are very simple and easy to understand, and the subtext is too easy to guess: You are already a captain and a brigadier general, and a rocket has soared, so be content.

But An Ning did not back down: "I am the district chief of Konta."

Lafayette: "Well, as long as the National Assembly votes, there is no problem."

Pedion: "Wait a minute, it's not good for us to just stand in the sun and talk about business, let's go in first."

An Ning nodded: "Okay, and I also sent the masterminds of Konta's rebellion. They are waiting for the trial of the parliament."

"Oh, the mastermind." Mirabeau seemed to have just remembered this. "Yes, there is a trial."

Apparently, no one had paid attention to the trial of the mastermind of the rebellion before.
