King's Landing in France

Chapter 180 Liberator of Milan, Benefactor of Italy

Before the French troops entered the city, they stopped outside the city, and An Ning mobilized the whole army before entering the city.

"We are the liberators of Italy, not predators. We must show our good style and do what is sung in the military song. We will not take anything and be polite to others!"

An Ning rode on a horse and loudly lectured the entire army.

Many of his troops were composed of French troops who defected after defeating Lafayette. The military discipline of these troops was not as strong as his original basic troops.

These troops are capable of robbery. In Diego Anning, they dealt with a few robbers seriously and strictly enforced military discipline.

If possible, An Ning would like to let only the Dawu division enter the city. The Dawu division was formed from his original troops. After more than a year of training and education, the military discipline must be much stronger than the recruited troops.

An Ning was going to deploy the Laharp Division—now the Lana Division—to the direction of the Mantua Fortress to monitor the movement of the Austrian army.

However, Master Lana had been fighting for so many days at any rate, and it was unreasonable not to let him go to Milan City to rest.

So An Ning can only try to improve the military discipline of the army through speeches.

Although I came to Italy to complete primitive accumulation, my troops cannot rob.

It's kind of darkly humorous.

After finishing the lecture, An Ning took the lead and started to enter the city.

The leading figures in Milan City had already received the news, and they lined up outside Milan City to welcome the French army into the city, and many ordinary people in Milan also ran outside the city to watch.

Seen from a distance, a large group of people cheering outside Milan, made An Ning think of the scene where the bullets flew inside and took office in Goose City—it was almost a drumbeat.

An Ning arranged her female cavalry unit to be the first to enter the city, just behind her staff officers.

The reason for this arrangement is that the female cavalry is the French King's guards and ceremonial troops. The girls look very aura and good-looking, and they follow behind him, which even makes him more famous.

Just like that, An Ning led a group of female knights to the welcoming Italians.

For some reason, many of the Italians who came to welcome An Ning were big fat people with a big belly. Seeing An Ning come over, the leader among the fat people stepped forward and shouted loudly: "Long live freedom and equality!"

He spoke French.

Probably in the eyes of this group of rich Italians, the word "liberty and equality" is best in revolutionary France.

An Ning responded directly in Italian: "Long live the liberation of Italy!"

The Italians looked at each other suspiciously, and then the fat man who just shouted long live freedom and equality asked instead of everyone: "Is the liberation of Italy?"

An Ning: "Yes, we are here for the liberation of Italy, and we will support you to free yourself from the rule of the Holy Roman Empire!"

What An Ning said was all in Italian, so the Italians onlookers talked a lot.

The potbellied Italian gentlemen looked at each other.

Suddenly, a young Italian shouted: "Aren't we paying taxes to France?"

An Ning: "Of course, starting today, you are citizens of the independent Italian state. You only need to pay taxes to your own government and keep your own government running."

Of course, we'll be looting Italy's wealth in a whole new way, a more stealthy way.

An Ning did not say this.

The Italians were in an uproar. It seemed that they all thought that the French were also here to rule Italy.

But the fat man who shouted Long Live Equality couldn't believe it at first, so he took a step forward and asked, "So there won't be another Governor's Mansion?"

An Ning nodded: "Yes, there won't be. But there will be a National Assembly, just like the one in Paris, France! Next, we will hang the governor of Shinra in Milan, and arrest all the compradors who helped him oppress the Italian people. Get up and hang yourself!"

The fat man let out an "ah" with a frightened expression on his face: "This..."

At this time, a young boy among the Italian crowd shouted: "He is the mayor of Milan of Shinra! He is the accomplice of the governor! They are all!"

An Ning thought to herself, no wonder you guys are so fat, it turns out that's the case.

An Ning: "Ms. Oliver!"

"I'm here."

An Ning: "Arrest all these gentlemen! But treat them kindly. We, as outsiders, have no right to deal with them before they are tried by a court composed of Italians!"

Anning continued: "Milan will be the Milan of the Italians! Free Milan! The Italians will have their own government, their own parliament, their own army and police! Free France will oversee it all until everything goes right proceed, maintain order, and confront the Austrian army!"

As soon as the words fell, the Italian independents mixed in the crowd shouted: "Long live Italy, long live freedom, long live free France!"

The crowd chanted jaggedly after the small group of Italian independents.

Amid the shouts, Ms. Oliver led the female knights and arrested all the fat gentlemen who were welcoming the French army.

An Ning: "Now, please show me the way. We are going to the Governor's Palace of the Holy Roman Empire."

Someone in the crowd responded: "The governor ran away early! When the news came that you defeated Marshal Beaulieu, he ran away!"

As soon as this man finished speaking, someone in the crowd asked again: "Will you hang the nobles? I heard that after the French Revolution, they hanged all the nobles."

An Ning: "Whether we will hang the nobles or not is up to the revolutionary Italian National Assembly to decide! The Assembly voted that they should be hanged, and they will be hanged! The Italians will decide everything by themselves!"

After the words fell, the citizens of Milan, led by Italian independents, shouted long live freedom and long live France.

Then the Italians began to sing a song. This is a song about Shinra's oppression of Italy and the expectation of Italian independence. This was originally a very sad and angry song, but now it feels joyful.

Beethoven, who witnessed this scene, sighed: "The Italians have ushered in a real hero, a real liberator! Oh, I'm so happy for them!"

**
What General Frost did in Milan, Italy, was reported back to Paris.

Brissot of the Girondist faction who now controls the parliament was so angry that his nose was crooked. He slapped the table in the Girondist club angrily: "What does this Frost want to do! We are still counting on Italy's taxation to improve the financial situation Woolen cloth!"

"As I said a long time ago, he is a Jacobin! The Jacobins don't want us well!" Condorcet said indignantly, "How to deal with such a big matter in Milan, he didn't ask the parliament for instructions! He didn't take the parliament Seriously!"

Brissot: "We must depose him as Commander of the Army of Italy and return him to Paris to pay for what he has done!"

Condorcet showed embarrassment: "He won the battle anyway. It's not appropriate to dismiss him at this time, right? The Jacobins will definitely take the opportunity to stir up trouble in the newspapers.

"The most important thing for us now is to let the new king take the throne, we must maintain the stability of Paris.

"The Jacobins are very prestigious among the trousers in Paris. What if they don't cooperate and start a riot with the trousers?"

Brissot thumped the table hard and cursed.

At this time Condorcet said again: "Besides, the father of the new king, the Grand Duke of Orleans, has a good relationship with Frost, so we will not be able to touch him even more."

Brisso: "Damn it, why did we find such a man to be king."

"That's because other people with the right to inherit were either killed or went abroad."
