Fox of France

Chapter 198 , Rebellion and Coup

Soon the Duke of Brunswick got the latest information: on the opposite side, the defensive war devil who organized a defense like a copper wall, that nightmare with the same surname as Bonaparte-Joseph Bonaparte in the previous battle During the accident, he was hit by a bullet, and his life and death were unknown.

"We hit another French commander?" The Duke of Brunswick felt that this news was a bit too nonsense. However, don't talk too much about things on the battlefield. For example, didn't King Theodoric die in the Battle of Chalon, which won a decisive victory?

In addition, none of the senior officers of the British and Prussian armies is willing to go back with a big failure-although it seems not very good to be successful, it is better than a general defeat, anyway. The bones are already dry, aren't they?

But if you bump into someone without distinguishing between the real and the fake, and then be ravaged by people with all kinds of means, then you really can't even allow your self-esteem. So, everyone decided to stop and take a look. Of course, at the same time, we must strengthen our own defenses.

At the same time, Paris was in chaos. Because Joseph considered that he had to also hide from Paris at the same time. Because Paris is almost a colander, all kinds of news, as long as those guys in Paris know, all kinds of businessmen will know immediately, and then, some military secrets, those bankers know faster than the generals , but also specific.

And those businessmen often have the habit of stepping on several boats. It would be strange if the royal party or even spies from other countries didn't know any secrets in their hands. So if Joseph told the Directory in Paris that he was only pretending to be injured, it would take less than an afternoon for everyone in Paris with a little money and status to know that he was pretending to be injured. Then what are you doing?

But hiding it from the Governor government also brought another problem, that is, the guys from the Governor government took this matter seriously. Then this supposedly highly confidential military secret was immediately known to the whole of Paris, and even some newspapers published it.

Of course, "Scientific Pravda" immediately stood up to refute the rumors, and said: "When this country is in crisis, everyone must be calm, and we must not believe or spread rumors!"

However, "Scientific Pravda" did not produce any definite evidence to prove that the legends on the market are all rumors. On the contrary, people have found news that seems to be used to confirm this rumor from another news article in "Scientific Pravda": On the front line of Cato, General Moreau repelled the British attack and sent Quickly headed to Verdun to support General Joseph Bonaparte in his campaign.

In everyone's opinion, this military transfer almost confirmed the authenticity of the legend that Joseph was injured. Obviously, if Joseph hadn't been injured, why would Moro be transferred there urgently at this time?

In addition, some other actions seem to confirm this point. According to some newspaper reports, Mr. Lavoisier, who had just returned to Paris not long ago and resumed his teaching position at the University of Paris, suddenly left Paris due to work needs. Return to Toulon. In addition to Mr. Lavoisier, it is said that many researchers working in the research institute of the "military-industrial complex" rushed to Toulon "because of work needs". The "Scientific Pravda" did not refute the rumors. He just said: "This is a normal transfer that has been planned long ago."

Of course, it’s nothing more than that, and what’s more terrible is that in the Governor’s Government, there have been various incidents of stealing money again. For example, this morning, when the employees of the Ministry of Finance went to work, they found that the Minister Secretary Garcia never came. Then it was soon discovered that Garcia used forged signatures to steal a large amount of government funds in the name of receiving wages from government departments, and ran away with his sister-in-law.

This is not an isolated case, there are countless cases like this.

In such chaos, the royal party became active again, and some guys, especially the National Self-Defense Forces in some communities where property owners concentrated, hooked up with them again—anyway, the Red Army, even the gendarmerie All had been taken to Verdun by Joseph. In some places, the white flag of the Royal Party was even blatantly hung out again.

This situation, in turn, increased the chaos in Paris. On the other hand, the public security department, which has been able to effectively suppress the various activities of the royal party, is also very lazy at this time. There are also rumors that the Minister of Public Security Fu Xie is also in contact with the royal party. Paris seems to be changing again.

Napoleon naturally also received the news from Joseph. At this time, his army had also entered a state of rapid march and was rushing towards Paris at the fastest speed.

On the night of Fengyue Dandelion Day (March 16) in 1798, a rebellion broke out in Paris. At noon the next day, speculators who turned to the royalists quickly occupied most of Paris and began to besiege the Congress Building again. But at this moment, the news that General Napoleon led the army arrived in Paris suddenly came.

So a very interesting scene appeared. Although Napoleon's army did not appear, the National Guard who surrounded the Capitol suddenly disappeared in large numbers. When General Augereau's cavalry appeared on the square outside the Capitol, the entire square and its surroundings were so empty that they could be used to shoot "I Am Legend".

In short, at the most critical time, our General Napoleon Bonaparte once again saved the Republic and the revolution. What's even more rare is that in this counter-rebellion, General Napoleon Bonaparte and his troops showed amazing restraint. They did not kill any rebels, and they put down the rebellion very peacefully. It fully demonstrates the demeanor of the mighty and civilized division of the Italian Legion.

After successfully suppressing another rebellion by the Royal Party and bringing back all the MPs who could still be found, (some MPs had already run away before the riot started, and now they don’t know where they went I went there, and naturally I can’t find it again) For the future of the country, General Napoleon went to Congress to deliver a speech in person.

On the way to the speech, Lucien said to Napoleon: "Napoleon, are you ready for the speech? Let me tell you, for the speech, you have to..."

"Come on, Lucien." Napoleon waved his hand, as if to drive away a buzzing fly, but fortunately he didn't mean to tie a bow around his neck with Lucien's intestines, "I'm In the army, I don’t know how many speeches I have given. What is a speech? You still need to teach me? Just wait and see!”

Then Napoleon entered the parliament hall with arrogance and arrogance, and delivered a speech to the members.

In his speech, Napoleon said that the current French government is really outrageous, weak, corrupt, incompetent, inefficient, full of all kinds of liars, scum, and traitors, and it has brought a good situation to such a point , This is completely ruining the efforts of the revolutionary soldiers. If this continues, the French Revolution will come to an end sooner or later. In order to save the revolution and save France, he suggested that the government should be reorganized immediately and a strong, clean and efficient new government should be established to defeat all enemies of the revolution.

Napoleon thought that the parliamentarians would cheer him like his soldiers, but the parliamentarians questioned him one after another:

"General Bonaparte, are you going to establish a military government?"

"General Bonaparte, are you going to be a poisoner?"

"We overthrew one tyrant, now you want to be a second tyrant?"

Later, the shouts of "Down with the poisonous vegetable tyrant, long live democracy" rang out.

The actions of the councilors were completely beyond Napoleon's expectations, and Napoleon did not prepare a plan for this. For a while, his face was pale and he was at a loss.

Perhaps it was Napoleon's actions that encouraged those congressmen. They simply left the seat and surrounded Napoleon. Napoleon had already started to look around and planned to find a place to escape.

"Damn it, I came in without a gun!" thought Napoleon.

At this extremely urgent moment, a group of soldiers and police rushed in under the leadership of Lucien and Fouché.

"Bang bang!" Lucien fired twice into the sky.

The aggressive MPs immediately returned to their seats, just like elementary school students seeing their head teacher.

Lucien gave Napoleon a wink and signaled him to go out quickly, then he stepped onto the podium, looked around the crowd viciously, and said: "I know that some of you have betrayed the revolution, betrayed France, and become Poles. You lackeys! Do you still want to murder the heroes of the revolution and the savior of the republic? Don’t be deceived by these guys, be vigilant, be vigilant!”

The congressmen were a little agitated, but everyone looked at the soldiers with live ammunition and fell silent.

"Now I propose to cancel the immunity of those MPs who colluded with the royal party. Let's vote with a show of hands." Lucien raised his hand first as he said.

Then, the MPs raised their hands one by one.

"Very good, the vote passed!" Lucien said.

Then Lucien gave up his position to Fouche, and Fouche took out a small notebook from his side and began to read his name. For every name he uttered, one person was pulled out by the police. Fouché did not utter many names, only five. However, these five people were all the guys who took the lead in attacking Napoleon just now.

Wait for these people to be dragged out one by one. Lucien said again: "Now, can we invite Mr. Napoleon Bonaparte to come back and give a speech?"

So Napoleon was invited back, and his speech became very brief: "Everyone has heard my proposal just now. Now we vote with a show of hands. Who agrees and who opposes?"

Therefore, all the members of the Council of Five Hundred voted in favor of it unanimously in the spirit of being responsible for the revolution, France, and history.
