"By the way, Sunshine Knight and Accurate Shooter Company will return to Paris with me! We will first arrive in Marseille and join Lazar Cano.

"Above. You repeat it!"

Chapter 208 France Doesn't Need a King

After the decision was made, the entire Italian Legion began preparations for the handover of command.

Of course, these are not bothering An Ning to worry about, and the energetic Chief of Staff Berthier is in charge.

Berthier seemed to be able to see that An Ning didn't like to deal with clerical tasks such as paperwork, so he directly took care of everything, and asked An Ning to just sign.

On the day before departure, An Ning decided to take a last look at the place where he had expected to become famous.

He set off on horseback without notifying anyone. As a result, not far away, Napoleon led Beethoven and the painter David to catch up.

An Ning was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

Napoleon: "Fanny came to find me, you are too careless, at least bring a guard."

An Ning pulled back her cloak, revealing the pistol and saber on her belt: "What guards can compare to my sword and pistol?"

Napoleon laughed loudly: "You are right, thousands of troops did not kill you."

Beethoven was laughing too.

An Ning asked Beethoven: "Why are you with Bonaparte?"

"Uh, he wants to give me a listen to the music he composed." Beethoven looked embarrassed, no need to ask, the music written by Napoleon is probably as bad as his.

An Ning: "You scold him generously, if you feel bad, just say it!"

Napoleon: "I just need practice."

Beethoven smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "So what are we going to do?"

"It's nothing, just look at the land of Italy." Saying that, An Ning turned her gaze to the Alps. There was just a night of snow last night, and the mountains in the distance could be seen in the clear weather.

The whole world is covered in silver.

Seeing this scene, An Ning wanted to copy his old man's poem.

But there seemed to be something wrong with saying "the scenery of the Northland" in Italy, so he held back.

While An Ning was staring at the Alps, David took out his sketchbook and began to quickly record the scene.

Napoleon quipped, "Andy, aren't you going to have a poem or a riff?"

An Ning thought to herself, don't ask me this question, ask Le Sheng next to him, he is a true brother who can write famous songs while walking and looking at the moonlight.

He was about to answer Napoleon's question when he suddenly saw a funeral in the churchyard in front of him.

An Ning urged the horse over, curious to see what happened.

The priest presiding over the funeral found the peace first. He stopped praying and looked at the French commander who rode into the cemetery.

An Ning asked in Italian: "Sir, who is burying?"

The pastor replied: "It's the hunter in the town. He was affected by the battle and died."

An Ning got off his horse and said to the pastor, "Well, then I'll see him off."

Speaking of which, An Ning forced her way into the farewell line.

The Italians gave way to An Ning.

He just walked up to the coffin.Many flowers have been placed on the coffin.The people who came to see them off all brought flowers, and after silently saying goodbye in front of the coffin, they threw the flowers on the coffin.

An Ning didn't bring any flowers, so he took out his pocket watch from his pocket, put it on the coffin, and said in a voice that everyone around could hear: "This poor man died because of the independence of Italy. May he rest in peace in heaven." .”

The native obviously died because of the war between France and Austria on Italian soil, but An Ning said it was "because of the independence of Italy".

This can't be wrong, after all, there is also the Italian Sequoia Army in the French army.

After An Ning delivered the pocket watch, Napoleon and Beethoven also stepped forward to present their tributes.

When they left the cemetery, an old Italian lady stopped them with tears in her eyes.

"Good man!" said the old lady, "May God bless you!"

Then the little Italian girl who had been hiding behind the old lady stood up timidly and offered the flowers in her hand to An Ning.

An Ning squatted down, gently touched the little girl's cheek, and then took the flower——

The painter David witnessed the whole process.

On the second day of this episode, An Ning left for France.

※※※

Although Marseille is not the hometown where An Ning started directly, after more than a year of operation by Lazare Cano, plus good news that An Ning has always been on the front line, the whole city has welcomed the return of An Ning with amazing enthusiasm.

The citizens of Marseille blocked all the roads into the city, just to see the demeanor of the famous general who has won successive victories in Italy.

Before entering the city, An Ning specially changed the means of transportation from horse-drawn carriages to horseback riding, so as to better attract the crowds of the whole city.

You ask why not ride the whole way?This is to ask La Salle who insisted not to take the carriage and rode back all the way. He has been drawing blood for several days.

It's a pity that there is no Ma Yinglong in this era, La Salle can only bear it, grinning every time he sits down.

The king of the hussars, who claimed to live his whole life on horseback, was like this. An Ning naturally chose the horse-drawn carriage.

After changing to his big white horse around Masai, he also happily joked about La Salle: "My king of hussars, why don't you sit on the saddle and sit on the horse's butt?"

Lasalle: "You know what to ask! Forget it, this is also the fate of every hussar. When Attila expeditioned to Europe, he probably suffered from hemorrhoids."

An Ning smiled, and he suddenly thought of a wrong song: Riding a donkey grinds the butt, rides the donkey but rides the butt and still grinds the butt—I don’t know how to translate this when I read it now.

After turning over a small hill, the sea and Marseilles appeared in front of me at once.

Along with the sea breeze, there were cheers from the Maasai people: "Long live General Frost!"

An Ning smiled and waved in response.

Then a voice came from the crowd: "General, are you back to support the king?"

An Ning couldn't hold back immediately.

He glanced at Lazar Kano, who shrugged his shoulders with an expression that seemed to say, "I have already reported to you that the Royalist Party is very powerful here."

An Ning couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache, obviously he had no connection with the king at all, just because Philip Ping's son became the king, and now he was regarded as a royalist by many people.

An Ning took a closer look at the crowd and found that the royal party's white iris pattern flag was mixed with the tricolor flag. This clearly meant that he returned to the country and regarded the royal party's life-saving straw.

So An Ning adjusted the three-color emblem on her hat deliberately with very solemn and slow movements.

However, no one noticed this, and some people in the crowd shouted: "General, hang those blue party members!"

An Ning frowned, it seemed that some words could not be explained clearly.

So he cleared his throat and shouted in a bell-like voice: "Everyone! I return to France, first to defend my country from the power of Austria and Prussia! Second, to defend the tricolor flag!

"Some people mistakenly think that I am a royalist, here I want to clarify, I will always be a patriot!

"Many people have forgotten that I lit the first fire of the Great Revolution in the Bastille!

"It was I who said to Louis XVI that we refused to leave unless we were driven out by bayonets!

"It was also me who escorted Louis XVI from Versailles to Paris!

"France, in my opinion, has no need of a king! Never has!"

Chapter 209 Paris security commander, young general Frost

On the first night of An Ning's arrival in Marseille, the royal party gathered in Marseille launched a large-scale rebellion.

Then An Ning pulled the French army into the streets.

In addition to the French army, a large number of patriots also spontaneously took to the streets.

One of the sequelae caused by the Great Revolution is that there are a lot of weapons and ammunition among the people. Whether it is the royal party or the blue party, they can pull out a large number of armed people at any time.

After all, the French army in Marseille had been prepared for a long time, so the royal party's rebellion was immediately suppressed, and even the surrounding royal party was wiped out.

In January 1793, the blood of the royalists around Marseilles flowed into rivers.

From the latest order from Paris, the National Assembly issued a new decree and decided to invest in a new type of execution machine in order to execute traitors as quickly and economically as possible.

An Ning sighed when she got the order, and said, "Sure enough, the guillotine is still on the stage of history."

In the original history, the guillotine was only put into use on a large scale after being improved by Louis XVI.

This time and space has been enriched by Louis XVI, but the guillotine was still put into use.

This is also a return to the world line.

On January 1, An Ning led the Southern Army and began to march north after handling the matter in Marseille.

Just at this time, the National Assembly in Paris issued a call "Patriots of all France, Paris needs you", and patriots from all over the world are rushing to Paris.

An Ning's troops marched all the way, singing the Marseillaise that was already called "Ode to Rome" in this time and space, and once again restored history.

At the post station one day away from Paris, An Ning met Mara, the commissioner of the National Assembly who came to greet him.

"My friend!" Mara shouted enthusiastically while embracing An Ning, "You are finally back!"

An Ning smiled and said, "Yes, I'm back, with all my beard and tail. Why did you become a special commissioner?"

"Because I don't have the status of a member of parliament, I can only sit on the sidelines to participate in the parliament." Mara shrugged, "After all, I was the last term. Then Robespierre sent me to greet you."

"Is Maximilian okay?" An Ning asked.

Mara shrugged: "He is very good, and he is busy fighting against the royal party now. However, the opposition is also resisting fiercely. The royal party surrounded the Duin Leli Palace to defend His Majesty the King."

An Ning frowned: "Isn't the National Assembly right next to the Duin Lery Palace? Then how do you hold the meeting?"

"Of course the meeting was held under the protection of the National Guard, and there were some armed people who supported the parliament. But because of the conscription law, there was a big backlash everywhere. It's strange. Some people obviously wear Liberty caps and tricolor emblems on their heads. , shouting louder than anyone else, once they are asked to join the French army to defend the motherland, they will quit."

Marat cursed a few obscene words and spat.

Marat: "Do you know that Paris is still doing well, the Vendée is already in a mess, the rebellion that had been suppressed has revived, and the British have brought over a marquis, who seems to be a noble from the Vendée." Generations."

An Ning frowned, thinking that this is the plot of Hugo's "[-]", the British brought in a descendant of the Marquis, which stirred up chaos in the whole of western France.

Napoleon said, "How did I hear in Marseille that the British are going to support France against Austria?"

Marat: "To hell with him, how could the British unite with us, France?"

No, it was really united later, later.

Marat continued: "In short, the situation in Paris is terrible. Those traitors even started to establish another parliament, just like we had a separate meeting on the tennis court! Maximilian always advocated using the strongest attitude to clear everything. But there was constant opposition in Parliament.

"Damn it, we should send these people to the guillotine!"

It sounds like the Jacobins have not yet received strong military support, so they cannot carry out their terror policy to the end.

In other words, in this way, An Ning has become a timely rain for the Jacobins.

Marat: "So, everything will be fine if you come. The parliament has just passed a resolution. You are now the commander of Paris security, responsible for maintaining law and order in Paris. We are all counting on you to strike hard!"

An Ning curled her lips, thinking, well, I am now a major general, and then I became the commander of Paris security, which is completely corresponding, right?

Then the Sunset Knight in my hand, wouldn't it be a total loss?

This time I really had to hit hard.

At that time, will there be another Kim Jae-gyu to kill Robespierre?

Marla: "Frost! What's wrong with you?"

Only then did An Ning break free from her contemplation: "It's nothing, I'm thinking about how to restore order in Paris as quickly as possible."

Napoleon next to him said: "You don't have to ask, my cavalry artillery unit is very suitable for deploying in the city of Paris. Grape bullets can deal with all traitors!"

In history, Napoleon really bombarded the royal party with grape bullets on the streets of Paris, and this time the history is reproduced.

An Ning glanced at Napoleon: "Then I will leave it to you. But we have come from a long way, let's take a rest and see the situation first."

Marat: "Do you still want to rest? The situation in Paris is really critical! Someone has long threatened to assassinate Robespierre. Someone rushed to Robespierre before and wanted to shoot, but the gun's medicine pool The gunpowder was scattered, and the ignition was not completed!"

The guns of this era always put a little gunpowder in the medicine pool to ignite the fire, and the flint on the hammer hits sparks, ignites the gunpowder in the medicine pool, and then ignites the gunpowder in the barrel.

Therefore, the guns of this era lack concealment. After pouring gunpowder into the medicine pool, you must hold it carefully to prevent the gunpowder inside from spilling out. Usually, gunpowder is poured into the medicine pool before firing, so it lacks concealment. , If you first fill it and hide it to get close to the target and then show the gun, it is easy to cause problems, which is far less convenient than electronic firearms.

An Ning: "Maximilian was assassinated?"
