Chapter 93, the crisis (1)

The National Assembly soon sent a man named Camacho to take over as commander of the Northern Army. Camacho was a regular visitor in the salon of the Roland couple, in other words, a Brisso faction. It is said that he participated in the Seven Years' War and served as platoon leader and other positions. Later, after the Revolution, he also held some positions in the Army Department, and recently commanded the army to suppress a church rebellion in the Brittany area.

With such experience, it is actually not suitable to serve as the commander of the Northern Army. Kano even believes that rather than letting Camacho be the commander, it is better to let Napoleon or Joseph be directly. However, the Brisso people are very opposed to this. Because they think that the Jacobin flavor on the Bonaparte brothers is too strong. If one of them becomes the commander of the Northern Army, it is not a good thing for the Brisso people. Their reasons are mainly

Three: First, the Bonaparte brothers are too young; second, they have a close relationship with Carno. If they hold such an important position, Carno might have a chance to be a dictator in the future. The reason why Carno proposed to take this position by Napoleon Bonaparte was because of this reason, and maybe a series of previous failures... In short, everything was Carno's conspiracy; third, the Bonaparte brothers let Di Murier go, and there are questions about whether the revolution is loyal.

On the other hand, Dandong also supported the Brisso faction. This is strange because the Brisso faction was attacking Dandong, who had been to Belgium in person, but did not find any signs of rebellion. This must be because he took Dimuriet's money. Dandong actually supported them. Some people think that Dandong wanted to compromise with the Brisso faction, while others think that Dandong saw that the situation in the north was critical and believed that the next failure was inevitable, so he agreed to let a Brisso faction be the commander.

Anyway, this guy named Camacho became the commander of the Northern Army. This appointment made Kano very dissatisfied with it because he felt that the reasons for opposing the Bonaparte brothers as commander of the Northern Army were nonsense.

First of all, the Bonaparte brothers were indeed very young, but they were not relying on commanding warfare for long beards. When Alexander the Great led his army to advance to Persia, they were only a little bigger? They were even smaller than Napoleon now. As for the Bonaparte brothers letting Di Murier go, it was completely taking into account the overall situation, because if the Northern Army lost those middle and low-level officers, they would definitely collapse. It can be said that it was Napoleon who saved the entire Northern Army with decisive actions!

As for saying that he would become a dictator because of this? This was an insult to his personality. The irritable Kano threw his gloves into the face of the guy named Gorio in public, and told him that he would choose the same pistol, the sword, and the dagger. If he was still a man, then use the man's method to solve the problem.

However, the guy Goriot actually shrank like this. He shamelessly apologized like Kano, saying that he didn't mean that. This is really... What's even more annoying is that he apologized and turned his back. When people laughed at him for being timid, he actually said: "Kano is an officer, and all the skills of duels are professional to him. He proposed a duel, no matter what weapon he used, it was unfair, and even murder..."

Kano was so angry that he was so angry that he was: "I'll go and ask tomorrow, I tied up one hand to fight him!"

"Mr. Kano, I think you should not duel with such things. Duel is a glorious thing, at least in the eyes of us Corsicans. You go to him to ask for a duel, which is giving him glory. But is such a thing worthy of the glory of the duel? I think he is not worthy of it at all! He is only worthy of someone to beat him with a whip, just like the master whip a lazy stupid donkey!" When he heard Kano's words, Lucien, who had always been afraid of the world, immediately threw down the math problem that was being calculated and ran out of the study.

"Tomorrow morning, Mr. Kano, take me with you, we will go to the gate of Congress to block the donkey, I will stop the others with two pistols, and then Mr. Kano, you can beat it hard and whip it hard with a horse whip!"

When Kano heard Lucien speak more and more, he glared and said, "Lucian, what are you talking about? Have you finished your homework? Show me?"

"Before it, there is only a little left. It will be ready soon. I'll do my homework." Lucien immediately applied oil under his feet and slipped into the study.

Lucien entered the study and honestly, at least, seemed to do his homework honestly. But after Kano sat down, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Lucien said seemed to be very reasonable and feasible. So he could no longer sit still, stood up, picked up his coat and hat, and planned to go out.

"Lazar, it's time to have dinner soon, where are you going?" his wife asked hurriedly.

"I have something urgent, don't wait for me." Kano said, so that he could go out.

The next morning, Kano brought two friends with Congressman Esba and one of Congressman Delon.

The three people stopped Gorio at the gate of Congress. Cano said nothing, and went forward and punched him, hitting Gorio's nose, causing blood to burst out, and his nose was crooked halfway, but it seemed like a sauce shop was opened, and all the salty, sour and spicy were rolling out.

Gorio shouted, took a few steps back crookedly, covered his nose with one hand, pointed at Kano with the other hand, and said in a vague language: "Kano...you...you can be so savage...if you have something to say...well..."

Kano said nothing more, and rushed forward again, punched his face again, but it was hitting the socket, causing the cracks of Gorrio's eyes to crack, and green beads burst out, as if a colorful silk shop was opened, red, green, and purple were about to bloom.

Gorio couldn't stand his foot, and leaned back and sat down to the ground.

Brisso, the surrounding MPs wanted to come forward to rescue, but at this time he heard a gunshot. Esba held a pistol with a smoke-like muzzle in one hand and a pistol with another in the other hand, pointing at everyone. Delon, on one side, also drew out two pistols and stopped the MPs and Kanogorio.

"Everyone, this is just a personal grudge. I hope everyone will not interfere." Esba said to everyone very politely with two guns in his hand.

Perhaps because Esba's speech was very convincing, even the Brixoso congressmen were persuaded by him, standing beside him obediently and watching, making such a voice from time to time:

"Oh, Mr. Kano, please say something, no, don't do this..."

"Ah...no...no...no...no...no...no..."

Kano took out the prepared horse whip from his coat, and whipped it at Gorio who was lying on the ground: "I told you to spread rumors behind your back! I asked you to slander people at will! I asked you to..."

The whip fell on Gorio's head like a raindrop. Gorio held his head with both hands and rolled all over the ground. At first, he scolded Kano for being a barbarian, and then sued Rao: "Mr. Kano, spare me, I will never dare again! I will never dare again!"

"Bah!" Kano pointed at Gorio with a whip and said, "If you are hard, I won't hit you anymore; if you want to beg for mercy, I will still hit you!"

After scolding, he whipped another raindrop-like whip. Gorio begged for mercy, scolded for a while, and cried again. It was not until Kano was not careful, and he used a little more force, and broke the whip. He stopped his hand and pointed at Gorio's nose and said, "Remember, you dare to talk nonsense behind your back again. I will hit you once when I see you! Remember!"

Gorio curled up on the ground and replied in a stack of voices: "Remember, remember..."

"Hmph!" Kano threw down the broken whip and turned around and left.

Seeing that Kano had left, Esba pushed the pistol twice, then put it in his pocket, bowed to the other members of the onlookers and said, "Thank you for your cooperation."

Then he followed Kano with Deron, who had put away his pistol without saying a word.

"Barish, it's really... so savage!" said the shocked Brisso's congressmen.

"Kano is so good! Such a bitch should be beaten to death!" said the members of the Mountain Sect.

Kano's actions became the headlines of various newspapers in Paris the next morning. Of course, the Brixosophical newspapers were cursing, the centrists were muddled, and the mountainists, especially the Friends of the People, jumped up to applaud Kano. This was not because Mara liked Kano, but because Mara especially didn't like Gorrio because he was a damn grain speculator! In Mara's opinion, one of these people should be hung on the street lamp poles.

"It's a pity that the quality of the military whip that Mr. Kano used was too poor, so he gently whipped the fat pig for only forty-two whips and it was broken. We heard that the purchase of these whips was carried out by Mr. Petit (who is Mr. Roland's friend). "At the end of the article, "Friends of the People" also contained insinuated hints that some Brixosos were making black-hearted money.

Of course, as an important member of the parliament and government, he actually used such a wild and rude way to resolve personal grievances at the door of the parliament. The general public of Paris felt that this was really too unfair. So the parliament held an emergency meeting and held an emergency consultation on this matter. After a bargaining, he imposed a severe punishment on Kano, lowering Kano's rank of major general to colonel, and correspondingly lowering the salary of the first level. As for the medical expenses of Gorrio, the parliament believed that this was something that should be handled by the civil court, so he suggested that the two sides of the conflict resolve it on their own.

After beating Gorio, although he was demoted and his salary was deducted, Kano didn't care at all. The reduction of the military rank was not adjusted, but his job was not adjusted (no one else could replace him). This position was there, and it didn't take much time to get back to the military rank. As for the salary for a period of time, spending so little money and having a clear idea, Kano thought it was very cost-effective. Even the motivation to do work was much more.

After a day of work, Kano returned home and hung his coat and hat, and his wife and Lucien came up to meet him.

"Mr. Kano, many people have sent you gifts today." Lucien shouted at Kano.

"Someone gave me a gift? Today is not my birthday, what are you writing?" Kano asked.

"Lazar..." His wife's expression was strange, "It was a lot of horse whips..."
