King's Landing in France

Chapter 182 Say Goodbye to Poland
In November 1792, Lazar Carnot, Anning's general manager in China, arrived in Milan.

An Ning greeted Kano with all the generals. After a short greeting, everyone went to An Ning's study.

Lazar Kano looked up at An Ning's study, and praised: "The decoration of this study is really luxurious."

An Ning: "The house originally belonged to the most powerful nobleman in Milan, but he was sent to a lamppost by the Milanese, so I took over the house."

Lazar Cano: "Yeah. I saw the green tricolor in Milan..."

"That's the tricolor flag Andy designed for the Italians." Napoleon replied, "In order to distinguish it from our red, blue and white, it was changed to green, red and white."

An Ning: "I think blue and green can represent the same meaning, and the flag of the Principality of Milan itself is also green."

Lazar Kano looked at An Ning: "You hanged the Grand Duke, and you used the colors of the Grand Duchy?"

"It wasn't the Grand Duke I hanged, but the people of Milan. The local Italian independents seemed to believe that the nobles who were in collusion with Shinra were traitors, so they hanged them happily. Of course, they also divided up the nobles. property." An Ning spread her hands.

The French army did not participate in the action of the Milanese to carve up the noble property, because An Ning planned to use other methods to complete his harvest.

However, the French army occupied almost all the houses that the Milanese had robbed and used them as barracks.

The house An Ning lives in now is the largest one.

After everyone talked about the situation in Milan, An Ning coughed and looked at Lazar Cano seriously: "So, what's going on in China? I thought the Girondins' rule would be stable for a while. .”

An Ning remembered that the reason why the Girondins fell in real history was because they advocated foreign wars, and then the war was lost, and France was in danger, so the angry people launched a new revolution and killed the Girondists.

The war has stopped, why are the Girondins still being killed?

Lazar Kano sighed: "Isn't it because after the new king ascended the throne, those hidden old forces gathered around the king again.

"The King rejected successive bills aimed at relieving the economic situation at home, because they would further weaken the financial strength of the great nobles.

"At the same time, the Girondins were using their power to amass money, causing prices in Paris to skyrocket."

An Ning raised her eyebrows: "So the lives of the trousers in Paris haven't improved?"

"Yes, and then a large number of newspapers, led by Marat's Friend of the People, were advocating that those enemies of France were secretly destroying everything, which caused everyone to live so badly, and finally rioted in Paris." Lazare Kano shrugged.

Napoleon laughed: "It seems that Andy has pointed the way to the French in Paris. They are more and more inclined to get up and kill those who make their lives worse."

An Ning: "Is this also related to me?"

Napoleon: "You have given them a good start."

An Ning thought, don’t do this. On the day of the Bastille, I originally wanted to check in for sightseeing, but who knew they carried me in.

Lazar Cano brought the tangent back on track: "In short, now that the friends of your Excellency the General are in power in Paris, they have sent me several letters asking me to pass them on to you. I bring them all gone."

As he spoke, Lazar Kano took out a few letters from his bag and put them on An Ning's desk.

An Ning picked it up, and found that Marat, Robespierre, and Danton had sent them to him.

I have someone in Paris all of a sudden.

Now there is no war outside of France. Although there is still the problem of national division brought about by the priestly law, the internal environment of the Jacobins is much better than the situation faced in real history.

In real history, the Jacobins were forced to adopt a policy of terror because the internal and external situation was very dangerous. The current Jacobins should not be so thorough...

As soon as An Ning thought this way, Lazar Carnot said: "The friends of Your Excellency the General seem to be eagerly looking forward to your Excellency returning to Paris, but I don't recommend doing so. Because the situation in Paris is very dangerous."

An Ning frowned: "Why is it dangerous again?"

Lazar Carnot: "Because of the reforms brought about by you, General, the southern region is relatively stable, but the northern part of France is already in a mess. The poor economic policies of the Girondins have greatly increased the power of the Royalist Party.

"The Girondins also supported a new king, who now tends to unify the entire royal party.

"Although the friends of Your Excellency the General drove away the Girondins, they have nothing to do with the royalists. Now some people are advocating that the new king will abolish the priest law and try those priests who swear allegiance to the National Assembly instead of the Pope.

"This momentum has intensified after the Pope issued a new instruction."

The new instruction mentioned by Lazar Carnot refers to the Pope’s statement on the priestly law in September. The Pope made it clear that the French priestly law is contrary to the will of the Lord.

The Pope finally broke his ambiguous silence on the situation in France in September.

This led to the hardening of the clerics who refused to take the oath in France. After all, their refusal to swear allegiance to the National Assembly was endorsed by the Pope.

As a result, the conflict between the two factions of priests became unprecedentedly acute.

As a Chinese, An Ning finds it difficult to understand how serious this contradiction is. After all, China has always been a secular regime, and the secular regime has exterminated Buddhism more than once in history.

But France is different. Although it is said that France is a filial son of God all the time, this is all ridicule. In fact, France is a Catholic country, and in the rural areas of France, because the French nobles swarmed to the cities for nearly a hundred years, the vast rural areas Daily life is basically organized by the local parish priest, who has a huge influence in rural areas.

The division of the Catholic clergy actually represents the division of the entire country.

The refusal priests, who have been endorsed by the Pope, are uniting with the conservative forces assembled under the new king, forming a very powerful force in France that is trying to bring things back to before the 1789 Revolution.

After Kano's explanation, An Ning finally understood how complicated the situation in France is now.

The Jacobins had killed the Girondists, and now they were about to face an attack from the old guard.

Paris now can be said to be a melting pot in dire straits.

An Ning was speechless: "Damn it, how could things in Paris be so bad."

Napoleon: "Why don't we lead the Italian Legion and return to the court? Thoroughly clean up the old forces in Paris! By the way, I will give everyone a promotion. You see, Davout commanded a division, but he was still a captain in the end."

An Ning thought about this possibility.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

An Ning: "Come in!"

A servant entered the room: "Newspapers from Vienna."

An Ning: "Okay, give it to me."

The attendant handed the newspaper to An Ning.

An Ning unfolded the newspaper, and all his officers gathered and stood behind him to read the contents of the newspaper together.

An Ning: "Why do you guys gather here? You don't understand German."

La Salle: "We can look at the picture. Don't do this, if there is any news worthy of our attention, please tell us!"

An Ning sighed: "The Russian army drove straight in and captured Warsaw. Soon there will be no Poland in this world."
