King's Landing in France

Chapter 338
In January 1794, Anning moved his main force from Paris to Sedan.

Because a large number of reliable troops were split into rural squads and dispersed to the vast North France, An Ning's actual field troops dispatched this time were only about 20 people.

However, this is almost exactly the upper limit of the field troops that France can supply in this era.We must know that in the original history, Napoleon mobilized the power of the whole of Europe, which only supplied 60 troops.

So An Ning has no complaints about the 20 troops.

His only regret is that Davout, his best fighter, is still in Italy.

Fortunately, Napoleon had already made a name for himself in the counter-insurgency war, so An Ning handed over the main force of his main force, the First French Army, to Napoleon's command.

The backbone of the First Army is basically the group of people brought by An Ning from the south, and some non-commissioned officers at the grassroots level have even followed An Ning since the Konta era.

It can be said that the First Army is the ballast stone in An Ning's hands.

In fact, An Ning originally wanted to call the first army the Guards, and then keep it in his hand as a hole card, and then hand over the number of the first army to Bernadotte's second army.

But when deciding on the order of operations of the troops, Lazar Kano clearly opposed the use of the designation of the Guards.

At that time, he said to An Ning: "If you have no intention of becoming emperor, you'd better not use the name Guards, as it will remind people of the kingdom era."

After thinking about it, An Ning didn't use the number of the Guards.

Originally, he wanted to organize Napoleon's army into gray knights, but found that there was not so much productivity to produce gray uniforms.

All the dyeing workshops in Paris are dyeing red and blue cloth day and night. If An Ning really wants to weave the entire army into gray knights, then he can only change the gray uniforms of the gray knights into white uniforms, and use white cloth directly for production .

An Ning thought about it, the pure white military uniform looked too cute, so she gave up.

By the way, the Gray Knights, as a unit composed entirely of old nobles who admired An Ning's martial arts, also had many conflicts with the ordinary French army during these days, and An Ning once had the idea of ​​disbanding them.

In addition to the First Army commanded by Napoleon and the Second Army commanded by Bernadotte, Anning also established five additional armies.

Lana was appointed as the commander of the Third Army, Morrow led the Fourth Army, Kleber led the Fifth Army, the Sixth Army was handed over to the Black Devil by An Ning, and the Seventh Army was originally given to Murat by An Ning. , It's a pity that Murat's meritorious service is not enough. In the end, An Ning could only give Andrew the face of a passer-by who performed well in the counter-insurgency war.

In order to solve the problem of Murat's insufficient meritorious service, An Ning relieved Murat from his guard position and sent him to lead a cavalry brigade.

On the day the order was issued, Murat came directly to him.

"Your Excellency General Frost, do you have any opinion on me? If there is something wrong with my guard work, you can point it out!" Murat said to An Ning.

It happened that Napoleon was beside him, and he laughed immediately: "Why are you so ignorant? This is for you to make meritorious service. The first governor wants to give you a bigger official, but you don't have military merits so he can't convince the public."

Murat was stunned: "Um, is that so?"

An Ning put her hands behind her back and patted Murat on the shoulder: "I am very satisfied with your performance in the position of guard, very, very satisfied. So I hope you can perform more on a bigger stage.

"I think you will become a very good general."

As soon as An Ning finished speaking, La Salle interjected, "I can't be an excellent general anymore, can I?"

An Ning: "You are different. You are most suitable to lead a cavalry division."

La Salle: "Then you will give me a cavalry division?"

"It's not like you don't know that we are short of cavalry. When the ponies we are raising grow up and expand the cavalry, I will definitely give you a division." An Ning waved his hand.

La Salle: "It's settled, don't change your mind!"

"It will never change, don't worry."

After getting An Ning's guarantee, La Salle curled his lips, then looked at Murat enviously and said, "I don't understand, what is the difference between me and Noah Shang? Why does Andy think you are a general, and I just Can you lead a teacher?"

Berthier: "If you can figure this out, you won't be judged as only leading a division."

Lasalle scratched his head angrily.

……

After dealing with Murat's little dissatisfaction, the preparations for the attack of the army are proceeding as usual, and the day of the attack is approaching day by day.

On the last day before the whole army's attack, An Ning visited Archduke Karl who had been under house arrest in the fortress.

After all, part of the purpose of going out this time is to sell Archduke Karl for a good price. The ideal state is to use Archduke Karl to exchange Louis 16 and his wife back, and it cannot be said that this expedition has nothing to do with him.

And An Ning also wanted to see what had changed after Archduke Karl studied behind closed doors in the fortress for so long.

**
As soon as An Ning entered the suite where the Grand Duke lived, he saw the Grand Duke standing in the middle of the hall in military uniform.

After a pair of eyes, the Grand Duke immediately saluted An Ning: "I salute you, the first ruler of France."

An Ning raised her eyebrows: "You already know that I became the number one ruler."

"I read the newspapers sent from Paris every day." Grand Duke Karl paused and added, "I am very concerned about what is happening in France now. I want to witness with my own eyes how far you can go."

An Ning smiled and said, "It seems that you are interested in what we do."

"Yes." Archduke Karl nodded, "In the past few months, my vision has suddenly become clear. The nation-state, social contract, people's self-determination, unprecedented concepts have impacted everything I have learned in the past. I probably understand why your army To be able to do such incredible things.”

An Ning couldn't restrain the smile on the corner of her mouth: "Really? That's good. Are you interested in going back to your motherland and bringing these improvements to your motherland?"

Grand Duke Karl raised his head and looked at An Ning in confusion: "Bring it to my motherland?"

"Your grandma adopted the ideas of Enlightenment thinkers in Austria and carried out enlightened reforms. You have the blood of Maria Theresa flowing in your body, so naturally you can do a lot."

Grand Duke Karl looked shocked, as if frightened by something.

An Ning took a step forward, and continued to induce: "It's not that you are going to oppose your brother. The reform of a nation-state does not necessarily have to go through revolution. As the prime minister of the empire, it is not impossible for you to carry out top-down reforms."

The corners of Grand Duke Karl's mouth trembled slightly: "Is this... is it possible?"

"Of course, all roads lead to Rome. A black cat and a white cat that can catch mice is a good cat. Any method is worth trying." An Ning approached Archduke Karl and whispered in his ear, "For the future of your motherland, You have to try everything, don't you?"

Grand Duke Karl swallowed his saliva, and then he asked a key question: "Then I have to go back to my motherland, when are you going to let me go?"

"Don't worry, if my plan is correct, you will return to Vienna by the end of 1794." An Ning said confidently.

　If JDG loses tomorrow morning, TI11 and S12 will all be over, and I have had enough rest, so we will resume normal updates twice a day.If JDG wins tomorrow, I will watch three shifts every day until the day of the finals.If JDG wins the championship, let's be a little more lively, every four shifts for a month.
