King's Landing in France

Chapter 69 History is a whirlpool that will suck those duckweeds in the middle

News of Necker's dismissal first reached the National Assembly, which was meeting in the Imperial Chamber of the Palace of Versailles.

Mirabeau's first words after hearing the news were: "God, this idiot actually did this."

Sieyes: "It will take a few days before the official announcement. The biggest problem we have to worry about now is that there is no one who can deliver the message to His Majesty for us."

An Ning thought, it doesn't matter, His Majesty the King himself will come to talk to us in a few days.

Now Louis XVI probably saw that the National Assembly had nothing to do with his Swiss mercenaries, so he drifted away.

In a few days, he will obediently realize his weakness and return to the path of communication with the parliament.

An Ning didn't say these words, he felt that his reputation in the National Assembly was a little too high.

This is not conducive to riding the wall.

So this time he didn't play the role of prophet, but acted like everyone else was worried.

Just at this time Dandong came over and asked him: "What do you think of the current situation?"

An Ning answered seriously: "It's terrible, and there is no way to break the situation. Without Necker, we can't even guarantee that the king will read our letter. Everything is at a dead end."

In fact, An Ning knows how this situation broke in the end, and it is really difficult not to spoil it.

If he "spoilers" now, he might be called a great strategist who knows nothing.

But he doesn't want to become so famous, it's too famous to be easy to operate: How can I ride the wall even if I'm the leader, you can't ride it, you know, I'm not at this level...

An Ning's strategy is to get involved in the incident, but only a little bit.

Considering that he has taken other people's positions for no apparent reason twice to pretend to be aggressive, and for the Bastille scene a few days later, he refused to go to the scene again no matter what.

Originally, he wanted to play a card, but with the experience of the previous two replacements, he had to give up his persistence as a history enthusiast.

If he really went to the scene to check in, he might somehow become the hero who stormed the Bastille.

In the future, if someone wants to get the National Assembly, the first one to get him is Andy Frost.

This will not work.

The era of the French Revolution was a crazy era. Those who stood out in the early and mid-term were all sent to the guillotine.

Only riding a fence is safe.

In short, An Ning has already decided that by July 7th, he will die in the hall of the Imperial Council, and no one will want him to move.

Don't even think about it!

A few more days passed, and by July 7, the whole of Paris was in a state of turmoil. The Parisians made troubles again and again, and the various situations they created in turn exacerbated the deterioration of the situation.

Coupled with the rumors flying all over the sky, people in Paris were panicked during this period.

All the while riots erupted across France as people finally ate the last of their bread, and there were occasional news reports of other cities suddenly starting to decorate their street lights.

These news have exacerbated the impetuousness of people in Paris.

Finally, the day of July NO.14 has arrived.

The day before this day, the police and Guards stationed in the urban area of ​​​​Paris refused an order to shoot at the crowd.

Although just a few months ago, they had extinguished Reveyon's army with thunder.

This is probably because the National Assembly has been held for more than a month, which has changed the perception of everyone in Paris. Enlightenment ideas and human rights have penetrated into the hearts of every trafficker and pawn.

The whole of Paris is like an oil pan on the stove. The oil temperature is already ridiculously high, and it is crackling in the pan.

On the morning of July 7th, An Ning decided to leave early to prevent being bet by people who wanted to make trouble in the urban area of ​​Paris.

As soon as he came out of the room, he saw a large crowd gathered on the Palace Royal Square next to his home.

--Um?

—Wait a minute, the people who stormed the Bastille seem to have set out from the Palais Royal?

Good guy!
An Ning is purely traveling for too long, and many historical details have been forgotten.If he remembered this, he would have spent the night at Danton or Robespierre last night.

But now there is still time to sneak away, quietly touch the carriage, and then enjoy!
An Ning made up her mind and began to look for a carriage. Originally, this matter should be left to Fanny, but due to the recent situation, An Ning felt that it was too dangerous for Fanny to come out as a girl, so she let Fanny stay at home.

Now he had to find the carriage himself.

There were many rented carriages waiting for business near the Royal Palace. Since the Duke of Orleans opened the palace to the public, this place has been the favorite place of the little bourgeois. Many people will come here to participate in the salon and drink coffee.

These people will rent horse-drawn carriages.

But today, the carriages that usually wait for business near the Royal Palace have all disappeared.

Thinking about it, Paris is in such a mess now, it's too dangerous to come out to solicit business.

Can understand.

While An Ning was anxiously looking for a rental carriage on the street, the people gathered in the square of the Royal Palace were whispering and discussing the situation worriedly.

An Ning heard someone complaining: "The king doesn't care about our lives! He is no longer the king of the French!"

"Didn't you listen to the representatives? Sovereignty doesn't belong to the king, it belongs to us!"

An Ning couldn't help but glanced at the person who said this, and found that it was a man in long trousers, not a bourgeois who usually came to the cafe near the Royal Palace to talk loudly.

The man in trousers said excitedly: "I never thought of it this way before. His lord is the king, a noble and superior existence. But now I think, what is the difference between him and us? He is just a locksmith , craftsman! Still * impotent!"

An Ning curled her lips. It seems that the various tabloids supported by the Duke of Orleans have tirelessly smeared the king and finally borne fruit.

Although the original intention of the Duke of Orleans was to overthrow the kingship of Louis XVI and make himself king-he himself has the right to inherit the French throne, but objectively his propaganda weakened the kingship.

At this time, An Ning finally saw a rented carriage driving along the road.

When the driver of the carriage saw the crowds gathered in the Royal Palace, he showed a worried expression and urged the horses to turn around, as if preparing to stay away from this place of right and wrong.

An Ning hurriedly ran to the carriage, waving while running, he didn't dare to shout loudly, for fear of drawing everyone's attention to himself.

An Ning didn't know if the coachman saw him, anyway, the coachman turned the front of the car in a hurry, and it seemed that the next moment was going to drive!

But at this moment, the coachman tightened the reins.

The coachman seemed to choose the latter between hedging risks and doing business.

The coachman turned his head to look at An Ning, and gestured repeatedly to urge him to hurry up.

An Ning hurried to run.

At this moment, a young man suddenly jumped onto the table of the open-air cafe.

"My countrymen!" shouted the young man. "The removal of Necker is an insult to the nation! It is the harbinger of another St. Bartholomew's night!"

St. Bartholomew's Night was a bloody night for Catholics and Protestants during the Reformation.

The reputation of the filial son of God in France began at that time.

The young man drew a pistol from his waist and pointed to the sky: "But we will not sit and wait like Protestants! Citizens! Put on the green cockade that symbolizes hope and arm yourself!"

An Ning couldn't help but look back. After all, he is a history buff. When major historical events happened around him, he still couldn't help it...

He turned around and did something bad.

Because he found out that the person who is speaking now is an acquaintance he met at the Breton Club, the reporter Desmoulins!

Desmoulins also saw An Ning, and he immediately pointed to An Ning and said, "Look! Everyone! A member of the National Assembly is with us!"

--Oh no!I'm about to lick it off!Why!

I shouldn't have turned that head back!

Desmoulins exclaimed: "He is Andy Frost! The hero who yelled to the king that no one would let us go without bayonets!"

An Ning stopped running and stood there looking at the sky.

It’s over.
