King's Landing in France

Chapter 211 The French Republic Is Born in Fire and Blood

On February 1793, 2, Robespierre, supported by Major General Frost, the Paris security commander, forced the National Assembly to pass the bill abolishing the King of France.

There were four votes in total, and the first three failed to pass, with the opposition already chanting long live the king.

Anning then ordered the Paris Guards defending the National Assembly to bayonet.

Of course, he did not order real force to suppress it, but said that troops with bayonets looked more heroic.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of the heroic National Guard, the bill was passed on the fourth ballot.

A separate parliament established by members of the royal party immediately declared the bill illegal and called on everyone to defend the king.

It's September 2rd.

**
In the early morning of the 26th, there was light snow in the sky. An Ning was wearing a French military overcoat and looked up at the night sky in front of the barracks building.

In front of him, five brigades of 1 people brought over from Marseilles stood quietly in the snow.

At the forefront of the team are the Sunset Knights and the Elite Shooter Company.The gray uniform of the afterglow knight almost blended with the heavy snow, while the breech-loading gun of the elite shooter was still shining golden under the light of the torch.

The whole scene was chilling.

An Ning muttered to himself, "Why is it this time?"

This date is too Showa, and it is a suitable day for Xia Ke Shang.

But it is not correct to say that the lower and the higher are wrong, because now the speaker and opinion leader of the National Assembly is Robespierre, an ally of An Ning.

Berthier saw that An Ning had been silent, so he asked, "Your Excellency, it's already one o'clock, isn't it..."

An Ning raised a hand, preventing Berthier from continuing.

Then he glanced at the whole army standing quietly in the heavy snow, and took a deep breath.

"Soldiers!" he said, and his voice instantly resounded throughout the square, "Many of you have fought with me in Italy for more than a year! When we fought bloody battles, the capitulators and traitors in China You are betraying your country!"

"Who are the traitors? Those old nobles, the king! They regard France as their own private property, and they want the emperor surnamed Habsburg to restore their former rights!

"Soldiers! Can we tolerate this kind of thing happening? No! Today, we will use bayonets to deal with those traitors!"

An Ning heard Napoleon next to him mumble, "There are still grapeshots."

Forget about your grapeshots!
An Ning: "Soldiers! After today, France will become France for all citizens! After today, France will no longer have a king riding on everyone! Long live the French Republic!"

The soldiers shouted together: "Long live the Republic!"

An Ning: "Now, let's go! Tonight, we have no mercy for the enemy!"

After the voice fell, the officers of each unit began to issue passwords, and the troops began to move out.

An Ning rode a horse, stood by and watched the troops set off, and suddenly wanted to sing a song.

This scene is really too much like a movie made by a Japanese person who lived a good life.

There is only one piece of background music left, "Miluoyuan water is slapping waves, clouds are churning Wushan Mountain..."

An Ning was half a military residence in her previous life, and the military residences don't know why, every year on this day, they will collectively go crazy. They just turned this very serious event in history into a meme.

This is much earlier than the "no energy" and "wanting to drive a warship in such a low voice" that became popular later.

Because of this, seeing the current scene, An Ning sighed, "It's so similar".

But it's just a sigh.

**
After the troops were set up on the street, An Ning rode alone on the horse and stood on the Revolution Square, the hoops on the horse's hooves made a crisp sound on the stone floor.

The Revolution Square was originally called the Louis XV Square. After the revolution, it was changed to the Revolution Square. In real history, after the restoration of the Bourbon Dynasty, this square was renamed the Concorde Square.

Yes, it is the Concorde, which is one of the most famous squares in Paris.

But now, it is still called Revolution Square.

It is said that the royal party plans to rename the square as the Place Louis XVII after killing all the blue parties to celebrate the return of the royal government.

It's a pity that An Ning has decided not to let this happen.

The noise was approaching.

Suddenly, a young man holding a torch appeared in front of An Ning. He rushed into the square single-handedly, and met An Ning who was riding a horse.

An Ning shouted: "Go back, kid!"

However, as if the child didn't hear it, he turned around and shouted: "Come on!"

While shouting, he waved the torch in his hand.

The next moment, a large number of people with torches turned the corner and poured into the square.

The dense torches are like a huge wave, sweeping from the other side of the square to the peaceful place.

An Ning continued to shout: "Everyone! Go back! Don't move forward! There is no need to die for Louis XVII in vain!"

As soon as the words fell, someone in the crowd fired a shot, and the bullet Duang hit An Ning on the forehead. Although he was bounced off, the impact still made his scalp numb.

Without saying a word, he turned his horse's head and ran towards his army.

The French army blocked the road on one side of the square, completely occupying the main road in two horizontal formations.

The French army in the front row maintained a squatting posture, which was a standard two-row gun formation.

Seeing that An Ning retreated to the side of the team, Napoleon said, "As I said, your pity won't do anything."

An Ning shook her head: "There are still women and children in the team. I would rather fight ten times as many enemies as I do than open fire on them."

Napoleon: "Then shall we withdraw?"

"No, of course not." An Ning shook her head, then drew out her saber, "Everyone, raise your guns!"

At the same time that An Ning gave the order, the royalist thugs were still advancing. They were singing "Long Live Henry IV" and waving white iris flags--well, the royal family's iris embroidery is still quite expensive, and most people just get it casually. I took a white cloth.

An Ning hesitated, and he thought of the boy who first entered the square and formed a "single sword" scene with him.

Napoleon: "Andy?"

An Ning immediately woke up from her contemplation, raised her saber high and swung it forward: "Fire!"

The platoon opened fire.

The entire street was immediately filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke from incomplete combustion of gunpowder.

The chaotic party in the front row fell, but obviously this kind of killing only made them more fanatical.

Howling and firing, they rushed towards the French lines.

At this time Napoleon ordered: "Everyone, get out of the way!"

The well-trained French army immediately gathered its formation on both sides, revealing the 6-pounder cavalry guns hidden behind the team.

Seeing the cannon, the rebels in the front row hesitated.

Napoleon: "Fire!"

The cannon roared, and the sound of the cannon was extremely shocking under the echo of the surrounding buildings.

A hurricane of death from grapeshot sweeps the streets.

The impact of the royal party was immediately disintegrated.

Even a well-trained Austrian army would be defeated by grape bullets at close range, let alone a mob.

Napoleon: "Quick, reload!"
