Because Paris is busy judging the king's affairs, no one has the time to worry about Di Murier's trouble. I want to free-to-read-full-the-full-version and ask Baidu to search for it, including sending personnel responsible for military procurement to him, all of which have been delayed. But Di Murier felt that it would be a matter of time before these people came to cause trouble for him, so he had to seize the time and use this last vacancy. Because no matter whether the king's affairs would involve him in the end, it would always help if he had more money. For example, Talleyrand, if he had no money in his hands, how could he hide in Britain?

With the idea of ​​having the right to be used and expired and invalidated, Dimurier began to become more and more fussy in military procurement and made a fortune. Of course, the days of his army became more and more difficult. Dimurier pushed all this to Paris and promoted the soldiers that the people in Paris were busy with internal fighting and could not care about them, which caused insufficient military supplies. Although this statement temporarily stabilized the soldiers, the morale of his army inevitably declined.

In addition to the problems caused by insufficient supply, there is another problem that also brings serious morale problems. That is, the main body of Dimurier's army is the Volunteer Army. The Volunteer Army is indeed highly morale, but their high morale comes from the need to defend the country. They were originally militias from all over the country and were not willing to leave their hometowns. They joined the army to fight just to save the country. Now they have defeated the Prussian coalition in succession and drove them out of the French border. Therefore, in the eyes of these Volunteer soldiers, the crisis of the motherland has been lifted, so they should go home. However, the government has asked them to continue to fight with the Austrian Prussians abroad. This situation has also caused their morale to become lower.

The lack of supplies and the loss of combat targets, the morale of this army suddenly came to an end. The courage to fight to the death in the past disappeared in an instant. And this army...

"Now we are going to prepare for defeat." Napoleon said to Joseph, "You know, our army has a very poor military quality. It can even be said that our army has almost nothing except morale. Now there is no morale, so it would be strange if we don't suffer a defeat. Joseph, the general is about to take us into the Austrian Netherlands. I think we will suffer a loss there. When fighting, you must be careful and don't run around the front line."

"Ha?" Joseph opened his mouth wide, "You, you actually snatched my lines?! I should have said this to you, right?"

"Because I am smarter than you on the battlefield. Of course I should remind you." Napoleon said proudly, "When the fight begins, you will follow Dimurier honestly. He will not easily put himself in danger. But... forget it, you should follow me immediately. Dimurier is very selfish and may sell his comrades to survive."

Following Napoleon's butt to ensure safety? This is really hurting self-esteem. However, Joseph thought about it and felt that his talent on the battlefield would definitely not be as good as Napoleon's, so he decisively stopped self-esteem.

"Okay, when the fight really starts, I will follow you."

But after saying this, he forced another sentence: "I have to watch you and can't let you mess around anymore."

...

At the same time, another man, also known as "Joseph", is facing an extremely important choice in his life. In the National Assembly, the vote to decide the fate of Louis XVI has begun. Outside the chamber of the National Assembly, countless people surrounded the parliament, and their shouts can be heard clearly even in the chamber:

"Cut off Louis' head!"

"Destroy the enemy of the motherland!"

"Whoever dares to shelter Louis, we will smash his dog's head!"

In order to protect the safety of the National Assembly, the Paris Commune specially sent a team of National Self-Defense Forces, and they even dragged cannons. However, their arrival made many people feel increasingly unsafe.

Joseph Fouche was also worried, but fortunately his voting order was very low, so we can see the situation first.

In the Jacobin Club election, Robespierre supported the secret ballot, but in how to deal with Louis XVI's vote, he insisted on a secret ballot.

"You are all chosen by the masses from Paris or other parts of France. You do not vote on your behalf, but the masses who voted on you. They chose you. They have the right to know what kind of vote the people they chose!"

This reason is very convincing. The Brixoso faction retreated again on this issue, so the way to vote was for each member of parliament to take turns to the podium and tell everyone his decision. Then the recorder on the side recorded it, handed it over to the member of parliament to sign, and then printed it out and made it public to the public.

In order, the first to vote on the stage was Pierre Viktinian Venio, one of the leaders of the Brisso faction. Just last night, he was still in the salon of the Rolands and his wife's house, asking everyone to withstand the pressure and pardon the king. He also said that he would take this opportunity to deliver a speech on the podium calling for tolerance and reconciliation. At this time, his friends were looking at him and looking forward to his speech.

But Venio's movements were surprisingly slow. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at others. He only said a word in a voice that was so low that others could hardly hear. The recorder next to him could not hear it clearly, so he had to ask him to repeat it again.

“…” (French, death penalty)

The sound was not loud, but it was enough for everyone to hear it. The recorder recorded his vote and handed him the meeting record to him to sign. Venio lowered his head and signed it, and then slipped off the podium with his tail stomped like a defeated dog.

"This is a good start." Robespierre clapped and said to Danton next to him.

"Venio always likes to pretend to be a hero, but I know that this guy is about the same courage as a rabbit. It only takes a few people holding spears to go outside his residence to shout a few slogans, which is enough to scare him." Danton said disdain. Since the guys from the Brixos rejected his kindness in reconciliation, they must bear his malice.

With this beginning, the entire Brixoso faction was almost shaking. Fortunately, Condorcet was the one who appeared immediately. Hearing the host shouting his name, Condorcet stood up and walked towards the podium with great strides. He stepped onto the podium, looked around everyone, and then shouted: "Everyone knows my usual proposition, and that is why the people who choose me elect me to represent them. I hope that everyone's votes will be worthy of history and the voters you represent. As for my choice, my choice is forgiveness!"

Some people applauded, while others whistled and drank. Soon there was a sound of insults outside.

But with Condorcet's example, the Brixosau members finally stood firm and voted for pardon.

But the several members who voted next were all Jacobins. Their attitude was very firm. They all shouted without hesitation: "!"

The votes of both sides rose alternately, and Joseph Fouchey was nervously paying attention to the number of votes that rose alternately, and the gap was only a few votes.

Fouche took a deep breath. He was the last group of voters. He could continue to wait and see the scenery. He looked around and began to think about how the remaining people would vote and what impact their vote would have on the final result.

The vote continued. Whenever a member of parliament voted for the death penalty, deafening cheers came from outside the parliament hall. Whenever a member of parliament voted for pardon, there would be a volcanic scolding outside.

Time passed slowly, and it was already evening, but the people around the outside did not leave. On the contrary, more and more people surrounded here. Many people also came here after the rest of their work. They lit torches and surrounded the parliament, cheering at it, cursing loudly, and after a while, they simply sang songs. First, "Slave War Song", and then another song called "Everything Will Be Well" that became popular in the September massacre:

“It will be fine,

It will be fine,

Everything will be fine,

The nobles were hung on street lamp poles.

It will be fine,

It will be fine..."

Amid the song, the vote continued, and the remaining people were no longer there, but the votes were still not big. The votes supported the execution of the king were slightly more than a few votes, but among the remaining members of the parliament, there were more people from the Brisso faction. If these people voted for the pardon, then the number of votes for pardon might be able to catch up.

Fouche passed the current votes in his mind and the remaining number of people on both sides, but the outcome was still unclear. But he could no longer watch it, and it was his turn to vote soon.

He knew that he had betrayed Robespierre, and Robespierre was never a magnanimous person. He also offended Dandong. The things Roland and his wife targeted Dandong were basically investigated by him. Dandong must have hated him to the core. But...

Fouchey looked around the remaining Brixosos MPs who had time to vote, and saw them all pale and flickering eyes. He knew that these people were shaking and they could not withstand the pressure outside.

"There are ten people who are hesitant, at least half of them will betray them. Louis is dead when they go in and out." Looking at the weak look of the members of the parliament, Fouche immediately made such a judgment.

"Joseph Fouche." The host shouted his name.

Fouche stood up, smiled and looked around his former teammates, then walked up to the podium with a firm pace, and said loudly without hesitation: "!"
Chapter completed!
