King's Landing in France

Chapter 368 The Merciful Karl (Part [-])
The Viennese crowd pushed Louis XVI to the barricades on the outermost edge of Vienna.

As the leader of the people of Vienna, Grand Duke Karl stood beside Louis XVI and shouted to the French army outside: "French soldiers! The former French King Louis XVI is here. I am the commander of the people of Vienna, Austria, Karl Ludwig Johann Lorenz! I demand a conversation with Andy Frost, Commander-in-Chief of France!"

The French army below looked at each other, and then a sergeant shouted: "Then we have to inform your Excellency, wait!"

Then some soldiers really ran back, probably to report.

Then the French soldiers began to look at Louis XVI on the barricade.

Louis XVI was embarrassed and asked Archduke Karl: "Are we just waiting?"

Karl nodded: "Yes, this can also see how efficient Frost's command organization is. If it is the Austrian command organization, he may not show up until three o'clock in the afternoon."

Louis XVI was shocked: "Will it take so long?"

"Yes. I have always suspected that the French army can make more complex tactical actions than ours and cooperate better than ours. There are other reasons besides the citizenship of soldiers. Let's take a look now."

Louis XVI: "Am I going to stand that long? Can I have something to eat first?"

At this moment, someone from the French soldiers below the barricade shouted, "Hey, Bo, where is your wife?"

This made the French soldiers excited: "Yes, why are you the only one here, where is your wife?"

"That old hag can't run away!"

"tui, I hope she doesn't surrender, then we can cut off her head and parade her on the tip of a gun!"

Louis XVI showed embarrassment: "My wife...has fallen to her death."

Grand Duke Karl immediately ordered to the people behind him: "Quickly, go and bring Queen Mary's body here."

Wilm behind him immediately said: "No, she swore to be the monarch of the Habsburg family, we cannot hand over her body to foreign countries!"

Archduke Karl: "Who recognized her accession? No, she just tried to usurp power, but failed. He is not the emperor of Austria, no. If the French want her body, we will give it."

Louis XVI could hear clearly that although his own German was very bad, he was speaking in French.

After all, French is the most honored language in the courts of Europe, even the Russians in the north speak it.

Louis XVI sighed secretly, it's a pity that the dignified queen of France has fallen into this situation.

The order of Archduke Karl was quickly carried out, and the body of Queen Mary came behind the barricade under the escort of Count Felsen of Sweden.

And at this moment, the soldiers on the French side began to shout: "Long live!"

Amidst the thunderous sound of long live, Frost's eagle flag appeared, and a man under the eagle flag was riding a tall horse, holding his head high and chest out to accept everyone's cheers.

No need to ask, it must be Frost.

The eagle flag gradually approached the barricade, and Grand Duke Karl gradually saw the face of the rider on the white horse clearly. It was Andy Frost, the commander of the French army.

Frost didn't seem to be afraid of the Austrians' sniping at all, and he walked to a place less than 50 meters from the barricade.

As long as the Austrian army shoots at this distance, Frost will inevitably die violently.

Grand Duke Karl admired Frost's courage from the bottom of his heart, and said directly: "Although I already know that you are brave, your courage can still shock me. I hope you will never meet a villain who tramples on this bravery. "

Frost smiled: "Thank you for your blessing."

Grand Duke Karl continued: "Just now, the people of Vienna have overthrown Marie Ann Varnet, who claimed to inherit the Austrian throne, and we are willing to return her husband and her body to France.

"We sincerely request that the French army stop the siege and attack on Vienna."

The senior French generals behind Frost looked at each other, including Napoleon Bonaparte, whom Grand Duke Karl was very familiar with. It seemed that the senior generals did not want to just give up the achievement of breaking through Vienna.

Frost didn't look at the senior generals behind him at all. He asked in a clear voice: "Is Austria now a country where the people decide?"

Grand Duke Karl hesitated, but after hesitating at the end of the station, he said with certainty: "Yes, Austria is now a country where the people decide."

Frost smiled: "The French people have no intention of being enemies of the Austrian people."

After Frost finished speaking, the audience was silent.

The French army looked at each other, and the soldiers and civilians of Vienna also looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe that the war was over.

Then, the hungry and tired French army began to cheer first: "Long live! Long live peace! Long live the people of Vienna!"

Seeing this, the Viennese also began to shout: "Long live peace, long live France!"

And there was a Viennese citizen who took out a musical instrument—Vienna, the capital of music, it is normal for citizens to order musical instruments.

Amid the cheerful music, the Viennese citizens on the barricades danced, and some girls jumped off the barricades, pulled up the French soldiers they saw, and started circling.

Karl was very moved, and he didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He took Louis XVI—now he should be called Louis Capet—by the hand, and said flexibly, "Look, what a touching scene!"

Louis Capet was speechless: "Yes, yes, moved, I am very moved. Moved, really moved."

As he spoke, he touched his still-surviving head.

"Ah, touched." He muttered, sat down slumped, and looked at the joyful crowd.

At this time, a French soldier said to the girl dancing with him: "We haven't eaten for a few days, can we..."

The girl immediately shouted: "Everyone! The French army hasn't eaten for a few days!"

"I have bread!" someone shouted at once.

The crowd in Vienna was very enthusiastic and brought out their own food.On the buildings on both sides of the barricade, citizens kept throwing down baskets containing food.

Grand Duke Karl said to Wilm: "Hurry up and arrange supplies for the French army!"

"I'll do it right now."

At this time, the French and the Viennese exclaimed together.

It turned out that His Excellency General Frost climbed up the barricade with his bare hands and stood in front of Archduke Karl.

"I knew that you would come to our side." Frost held out his hand to Archduke Karl, "Actually, in our original plan, we planned to let Napoleon fight with you to boost your reputation by swindling a defeat. To think that you don't need this kind of work at all."

Grand Duke Karl held Frost's hand with a complex expression: "You may not believe it, I didn't intend to usurp power at all, but the situation forced me to choose a less bad choice among several bad choices .

"You won't believe how ridiculous the process of me standing here is!"

Frost laughed loudly: "Why don't I believe it? I have experienced even more bizarre processes! Anyway, now you are standing here as the leader of the People's Austria. I want to remind you that after that your brother You will definitely fight back, and what awaits you is likely to be civil war and continuous assassinations and coups."

Grand Duke Karl also lowered his face: "I know, just look at the process of the French revolution. In fact, I just want to prevent my aunt from becoming queen. If my brother comes back-I mean, if he asks for it properly , he is also the emperor of the Austrians."

　Exploded today.Because the new book has passed the draft, I am struggling with the title and introduction of the book, and I plan to finish King's Landing in France in one day.There really isn’t much content left. The new book keeps getting sent back, and I’m so worried that I can’t drag it any longer.
