King's Landing in France

Chapter 132 Traitor Frost

Afterwards, An Ning went to inspect the three possible camping places.

In the next few days, An Ning was actively preparing for a possible war.

Although this is the case, in fact, the current situation may not necessarily turn into a war, and there is still a possibility of An Ning slipping past.

After all, what An Ning does in name is in line with the laws of the Parliament. The redemption policy is determined by the Parliament, and the coupons are issued by the Parliament. It can only be said that the Parliament left a loophole and An Ning took advantage of it.

It is also possible that the subsequent development is that the parliament issued a decree to plug the gap, and then sent a commissioner here to ask An Ning to implement the new decree.

In that way, it will take a long time to procrastinate.

It's already July now, and Louis XVI is about to flee. Maybe An Ning can step down from the focus position.

However, An Ning did not dare to neglect preparations for the battle.

Because he knew that the parliament wanted to fight at this time. In real history, in November 1791, the parliament took the initiative to launch a war against Prussia and Austria, with the purpose of promoting revolution in neighboring countries.

Yes, they want to turn Prussia and Austria into constitutional monarchies and promote revolution.

So there is a reason why Gefa was encircled and suppressed. At the beginning, Gefa took the initiative to promote its own ideas, especially after Louis XVI was cut down, European monarchs felt in danger and had to unite.

As for why the parliament wants to fight at this time, there are several reasons. One is that the parliament feels that the country is so unstable now that it is caused by the old nobles in foreign countries. They don't even know that there is a problem with their land policy.

The second is that fighting can also shift the focus.

The third is that fighting can make a fortune.

All in all, there are too many people in the parliament at this time who may support a war, and An Ning has to guard against it.

For this reason, An Ning, who has always wanted to show off, actually runs around every day like a real social animal.

**
While An Ning was actively preparing for the war, the parliament had been discussing for several days how to deal with the Konta area.

"The news I got here is that Mr. Frost has assembled an army of old nobles!" The speaker slammed the table vigorously, "Isn't this enough to be called evidence? Collusion, conspiracy against the National Assembly! Against His Majesty the King!"

As soon as the words fell, Marat stood up: "I don't think he will do this! Remember, Frost is the hero of the Bastille! He has saved the revolution from danger many times!
"If there is only one heart in Paris for revolution, it is Mr. Frost!"

Marat's words sparked an uproar, and someone stood up and shouted, "Marat! Don't think we don't know, you're with him!"

Marat was also angry: "What's wrong? Mr. Frost has always cared about the people, and he is a well-deserved friend of the people! You see, he used his own money to buy fields and distribute them to the people! How could such a person betray the revolution?"

"What is his own money, he used coupons!"

"Isn't the voucher issued by the council? The council also uses the voucher to pay the wages of civil servants and the army! If you can pay the wages, you can buy land!" Mara refused to budge.

This statement left many speechless.

But immediately another person complained: "My Mr. Frost, he pays the army's salary by himself, but he uses real money! It means that he does not support coupons, he is a traitor!"

Mara: "That's because he is in a remote area. As early as last year when he sent troops to suppress the rebellion, he said that he was hungry. The remote area does not recognize coupons and can only use silver coins! Rather, he can take out his own Silver coins, to pay the troops, is the proof that he has a heart for the revolution! But you, Mr. Grote the banker, you have a lot of silver coins too! Take it out to support the Parliament! Take it out to pay the National Guard!"

Grote hesitated a few words and suddenly seemed to have found a life-saving straw. He slapped the table and shouted: "Since it is a remote area and since the certificate is not recognized there, you should not use the certificate to buy land!"

"The ones who don't recognize the certificates are farmers in remote areas! When Frost buys land, he buys land from the patriots of the local council! Patriots should recognize the certificates!" Mara also slapped the table to refute.

Then several people slapped the table and stood up: "You are sophistry!"

"This is a double standard!"

Marat: "Nonsense! My logic is self-consistent!"

So another large group of people stood up and refuted Mara in one voice.

At this moment, the rotating speaker Brissot stood up: "Gentlemen! It is obviously meaningless to continue arguing. I suggest that the vote be started now. Let everyone use the ballot to express their opinions!"

Mara's expression changed upon hearing this.

Now many of An Ning's friends are unable to run for this session of parliament because of Robespierre's bill. Although there are still many members of the Jacobin Club in the parliament, many of these people are not familiar with Frost.

In addition, the Girondins have been advocating on various occasions that they should now use practical actions to give a good look to enemies at home and abroad. If they vote now, it is very likely that Andy will become a traitor recognized by the parliament.

But Marra was powerless to stop the vote.

After all, the voting is completely in line with the parliamentary process, and there must be enough people to oppose it in order to stop the voting.

Marat simply couldn't get that many people together.

And so the voting process began.

Mara can only watch Andy Frost be defined as a traitor by the parliament.

Lafayette was pacing back and forth in his office, anxiously waiting for the results of today's parliamentary discussion.

Suddenly, Berthier opened the door and came in: "The parliament has passed a resolution, and Andy Frost has been characterized as the chief leader of the domestic counter-revolution, the mastermind behind the national turmoil, and the general backstage of the traitors."

Lafayette punched the table hard: "Great! Has the council decided when to attack him?"

"People from the parliament are already outside the door. They have come to invite you to the parliament to ask your opinion on counterinsurgency."

Lafayette: "Then what are you waiting for, I'm going!"

Tuileries Palace, study.

Queen Mary is persuading Louis XVI.

"Honey, now these hateful rebels are busy fighting among themselves, it is the best time to flee to Austria! As long as you run to the border and join General Buye's troops, the royalists scattered everywhere will gather for us! Prussia, Austria, Tsarist Russia, and even the Kingdom of Sardinia on the Italian peninsula will support us!

"We can kill these hateful MPs in one fell swoop and take back everything that belongs to us! Look at what life we ​​are living now! This Tuileries Palace is small and stuffy!

"I am a princess of Austria, and I am married to a king! Not a commoner!"

Louis XVI showed embarrassment: "Isn't it good to flee now? Now because of the unpopularity of the parliamentary policy, my reputation outside Paris is on the rise. After a while..."

Queen Mary interrupted Louis XVI: "What are you waiting for! Didn't you hear, those congressmen, some of them privately said that they wanted to establish a republic like the people of the New World!

"They can take you from Versailles to Paris, and they can take your crown away! Because they have despised the kingship!
"We must leave Paris and join the righteous men who support the royal power! His Majesty Leopold of Austria is my relative, and he will not ignore me!" Mary stepped forward and said eagerly.

Louis XVI pursed his lips, hesitating.

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

Mary: "Come in!"

The door opened, and it was Count Axel Ferson, the queen's Swedish lover. After he came in, he bowed slightly to Louis XVI, and then reported: "The parliament has just made a decision, announcing that Commissioner Andy Ferson of Conta Rost is a traitor, Lafayette has rushed to Parliament, and may soon send troops."

When Louis XVI heard this, he beamed with joy: "What? Really? That's great! I've tolerated that bastard for a long time! Lafayette, go and crush him!"

Mary turned her head, walked up to Louis XVI in three steps, and took his hand: "Your Majesty! When Lafayette sends troops, it is the best time for us to escape! Don't miss this opportunity!"

Louis XVI pursed his lips and fell into hesitation again.

Queen Mary: "Your Majesty!"

Louis XVI sighed: "Okay! Let's go when Lafayette leaves Paris!"
