King's Landing in France

Chapter 224

At this time, in the city of Paris, there were gathered troops from all over the country to defend Paris.

Of course, not all of these troops came to defend Paris, and some of them ran to Paris to escape because of the chaos outside.

After all, if you walk west from Paris for a few days and enter the boundary of the Vendée, the situation will be completely reversed. In Paris, the royal party is judged every day, and in the Vendée, the blue party is hacked to death every day.

So Quanrun, the blue party in the town of the Vendée, came to Paris, claiming to defend Paris.

Paris was originally a very chaotic city. After so many years of endless expansion, there was no plan at all, and the whole city was mixed with fish and dragons, and it became even more chaotic at this time.

Amidst the chaos was a volunteer army from the Upper Rhine.

Occupying an empty nobleman's mansion, the volunteers eked out a living on a stipend from the War Department.

The leader of the volunteers was Jean-Victor Marie Moreau, a young lawyer from a seaside town in Brittany.

On this day, Moreau received the allowance from the Ministry of War and the two large baskets of baguettes distributed to them, and rode back to the house on horseback.

As soon as they entered the door, someone asked loudly: "Moreau, when can we go and beat the damn Austrians?"

While handing the baguette to his orderly, Moreau replied: "I took a look at the Ministry of War. The German-Austrian coalition forces are almost at Sedan, but it has been raining on the Rhine these days, causing the road to be very difficult." The mud has affected the advance of the Prussian-Austrian coalition forces."

A volunteer soldier shouted: "Damn it, why hasn't General Frost set off yet? The enemy has come to our hometown! We came to Paris to fight the damned invaders!"

Moreau: "Be content, at least there is enough bread for now, and the bread is still baked well. General Frost will definitely attack. After all, he is the most famous military strategist of our time, and he will not sit back and watch the armies of those kingdoms Destroying our land!"

Immediately someone teased Moreau: "Hey, our lawyer, when it comes to General Frost, his face becomes beaming!"

Mo Luo didn't hide it: "That's not true! He is the founder of the republic. Without him, we are still a damn kingdom now!"

"Is the republic really that good?" Someone asked, and Moro immediately came to his spirits, "Of course! The republic means everyone is equal! From now on, there will be no nobles and kings who can ride on our heads! The future must be the republic In this era, all countries will eventually become republics!"

An Ning probably didn't expect that he had become the sun in the hearts of the republicans.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted outside the manor: "I am the reorganization commissioner of the Ministry of War. Are you volunteers from the Upper Rhine region? Who is your leader?"

Moro immediately stopped praising the republic, turned his head and ran out of the gate, raising his right hand: "It's me! They all elected me to be their leader."

The war commissioner wore a wig that didn't fit very well, it looked too big and kept slipping down, and the commissioner had to hold it up after a while.

Judging by the outfit of this commissioner, he probably used to be a small employee somewhere, and it was not his turn to wear a wig at all.

But now, he's wearing an ill-fitting wig and strutting like a cocky rooster.

"What was your original occupation?" asked the Commissioner.

"I'm a lawyer."

Morrow replied, but there were volunteer soldiers behind him: "He doesn't even have a diploma! He plays all day in college and is a playboy!"

Moro ignored the soldiers' booing and continued to say firmly: "I am a lawyer. My father is also a lawyer. I hope I can inherit the family business."

The commissioner nodded: "Lawyer. Now lawyers, painters, and musicians are all joining the army. How many people are there in your army?"

Moreau: "There are 180 people. We are all from the Upper Rhine region, which is now occupied by the coalition forces!"

Commissioner: "180 people, then you are a lieutenant, but I don't have a lieutenant shoulder badge. Come on, let me give you a captain, it's cheaper for you."

Moreau: "Thank you, I..."

He was about to take the epaulettes, but the commissioner did not let go of them, and then looked at him expectantly.

Moreau gave an "oh" and understood.

"You actually asked me for money?"

"This is the rule. You don't want to be labeled a traitor, do you? Revolution Square is busy with the guillotine every day. Didn't you go and see it?" The commissioner showed his yellow teeth and laughed.

Moreau was angry: "I don't believe this is something that will happen under the rule of His Excellency General Frost! Your Excellency General's army should be strictly disciplined!"

The commissioner nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the army of Your Excellency General is strictly disciplined, and they still sing the discipline into songs all day long. Why don't they take the masses with a needle? Maybe they really do that. But, I'm just a commissioner of the Ministry of War, and I'm not the General's troops."

Mo Luo asked angrily: "We responded to the call of the parliament and came to defend the country! You actually asked us for money! I don't believe that no one cares about you!"

Commissioner: "Then you can go and complain to His Excellency the General. He is in Versailles outside the city. Yes, it is the place where His Majesty the King lived. Go and talk to him!"

Mo Luo was furious: "Okay, I'll go find him! I don't believe that His Excellency the General is wise enough to allow such a situation to exist!"

After all, he didn't want the captain's epaulets anymore, and ran directly to the stables.

The commissioner said in a strange tone: "You are leaving now, and I will register you as a traitor! Wash your neck and wait, it will be your turn to be guillotined in a few days!"

Mo Luo snorted, and gave the commissioner a blank look: "I still don't believe it, it has become a republic, and insects like you can't be cured!"

After speaking, Mo Luo got on his horse and galloped away.

The commissioner curled his lips: "Hmph, country man!"

Then at this time, he noticed that the volunteers on the Rhineland were staring at him with murderous eyes, and immediately persuaded him, while urging Ma Kairun, while sternly saying: "You wait! When your lawyer head is in trouble, you are in trouble of!
"Defending Paris is also about qualifications!"

**
An Ning was about to send Lazar Carnot back to Paris when she suddenly heard noises near the palace gate.

So he said to the warrant officer next to him, "Go and see what's going on."

The warrant officer took the order and came back after a while: "Report to the general, there is someone who wants to see you, it's not a big deal."

There have been a lot of people clamoring to see General Frost recently, and the whole army is almost used to it.

An Ning also just said "oh", but today he just got Lana in a good mood, so he said, "I happen to be out too, so let's go see him. Let's take Lazar back to Paris by the way."

Lazar: "Let's leave this kind of matter to the affairs officer. It's not appropriate to set this precedent."

An Ning waved her hand: "It doesn't matter, let's go."

After a while, he and Kano arrived in front of the palace gate.

A few burly soldiers stopped a big man, who had obviously entered the stage of intense physical contact.

An Ning: "Who wants to see me?"

When the guards holding the big man turned around, they immediately let go, stretching their bodies like springs.

When the big man saw An Ning, he immediately stood up straight and tidied up his clothes.

An Ning looked at him: "Look at the clothes, aren't you from the French army? Are you a volunteer from somewhere?"

Big man: "Yes, I am a volunteer soldier from the Upper Rhine, and I am a lawyer. Let me report to you that one of your commissioners has committed a crime of malfeasance and corruption!"

Lazar Kano stepped forward: "The commissioner you are talking about should be the commissioner of the Ministry of War. Many of the commissioners of the War Department are former employees. It is normal for good and bad to vary."

An Ning: "This is the boss of the Ministry of War. You just need to respond to him. He will definitely deal with you fairly. For the opportunists and moths in our system, we must hit hard, understand, Kano !"

When the big man heard it, he immediately smiled: "I knew that Your Excellency the General would not sit idly by and ignore this kind of thing! Your Excellency, I am Jean Victor Marie Moreau, and I will definitely devote myself to the Republic After death!"

An Ning wanted to leave at first, but when he heard this man's self-introduction, he shuddered and looked at him again.

"Who the hell did you just say you were?"

"Jean Victor Marie Moreau, from Brittany!"

An Ning couldn't close her mouth: "Damn it, which bastard wanted to put shoes on for you just now? I want to interrogate him myself!"
