While the big shots in Paris were busy with their own concerns, An Ning entered the city this morning.
The crowd in Paris gathered spontaneously and "escorted" An Ning through the streets to where the National Assembly was located.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, all the members of the National Assembly stood on the steps outside the parliament hall - the original equestrian arena - and applauded him.
Facing this situation, An Ning was finally forced to realize one thing: he might not be able to ride on the wall in the future, because he was the wall itself.
So An Ning became more determined to stay away from Paris.
Mainly because An Ning was very reluctant to fight in the office in his previous life, and he was quite clear about his own priorities.
You can still rely on your own plug-in in battles, right? In that battle not long ago, you were able to "take off his clothes when the enemy is embarrassed", which shows that your plug-in is reliable.
The political struggle in this parliament is not the same as on the battlefield, and you may be plotted at some point.
In fact, when he went to counter the rebellion this time, he was plotted by Lafayette, but he was lucky and lucky, so he won the battle.
Paris is very dangerous, so it is better to return to Konta. It just so happens that he has made a great name in the Konta area. As long as he is there, the local people will not dare to rebel again.
It should be much safer to train troops in Conta, accumulate strength, and sit back and watch the changes in the situation than in Paris.
When the situation is critical, he can still step in to "save" the Republic.
Anyone who has watched "The Fifth Republic" knows that at critical moments, you have to lose everything.
While An Ning was thinking about this, the current rotating speaker of the Parliament, the virtuous Pétion, stepped forward and opened his hands to An Ning: "The whole of Paris is waiting for your return, the pacifier of Konta, Eph.
Mr. Rost! Your outstanding art of war has impressed all of Paris!"
When the words fell, all the parliamentary representatives applauded.
An Ning saw Robespierre and other An Ning's friends applauding the loudest.
He dismounted and took a step forward. Just as he was about to speak, several children rushed forward holding flowers: "Mr. Frost, this is dedicated to you!"
An Ning took the flowers and turned to give them to the adjutant he brought back this time, Sergeant Kent.
This sergeant was also a member of An Ning's original artillery unit. He was promoted to sergeant just before the expedition. Then he killed an officer and two enemy soldiers with a bayonet during the battle, so he received a commendation and was promoted to sergeant.
Just by looking at his face, you can tell that this Kent is a fierce man. An Ning specially selected him as his adjutant to give the gentlemen in Paris a taste of the battlefield.
After handing the flowers to Kent, An Ning cleared her throat, and then said to the representatives: "Everyone, I want to make it clear that everyone in Paris is rumoring that I defeated 20,000 people, which is untrue.
"The rebels in Konta only had about 8,000 people in total. I defeated them twice, once with 3,000 people, and the second time with more than 6,000 to 7,000 people.
"And I can do this because my troops are fully equipped. I have artillery and cavalry, while Konta's rebels are only infantry..."
At this time An Ning heard someone in the crowd muttering: "Oh my God, how humble he is!"
An Ning was speechless. He told the truth just to prevent anyone from taking the victory seriously and causing trouble for him in the future.
If you explain it clearly from the beginning, you won't have to worry about it.
An Ning: "All in all, I'm not as powerful as the rumors say..."
Suddenly Robespierre shouted: "You only have 1,500 people. We all know that just being able to defeat 3,000 people is already amazing, not to mention that you defeated another 7,000 people!"
An Ning: "This..."
Lafayette took a step forward and said to An Ning: "Mr. Frost, a hearty victory is a hearty victory. Don't compromise the glory of victory just because you are too modest. This glory is not only yours.
And also for the entire National Assembly.”
An Ning was speechless, seeing what Lafayette said, "It's not just yours, it's also the National Assembly's", and he quietly transferred An Ning's personal glory to the entire National Assembly.
It seems that he has become a thorn in the side of the Revolutionary War hero.
If he stayed in Paris, he would definitely be plotted by Lafayette again.
At this time, Petion also said: "Humility is a virtue, but we all know that you have accomplished unimaginable miracles in war. You are a great military strategist!"
Good guy, I just laid an ambush and became a great military strategist?
As he spoke, Pétion turned his head and glanced at all the members of the National Assembly, and said loudly: "I propose that Mr. Frost be the commander-in-chief of the Paris Garrison from now on!"
An Ning noticed Lafayette's eyebrows twitching.
Lafayette was the commander-in-chief of the National Guard, and the National Guard in Paris was ordered to defend the entire city. In theory, he was the commander of the Paris garrison.
Now this is appointing a separate garrison commander, which is giving Lafayette eye drops.
The delegates applauded one after another. Seeing that this was about to become a fact, An Ning said: "I am very sorry. There are still some signs of rebellion in the Konta area that have not been exterminated. I will return to Konta after staying in Paris for a while. The garrison commander has this matter.
You should hire someone else to do it, Gao Ming."
Petion looked surprised: "You want to go back?"
"Yes, there are still many rebels in the Konta area that have not been completely wiped out, and the people also want to restore the status of the original enclave directly under the Pope. Therefore, I must stay in Konta for a long time to guard this newly acquired territory for the National Assembly.
.”
Petion stared at An Ning's face, as if he could see what medicine was being sold in An Ning's gourd.
Lafayette had the same expression.
Probably An Ning's move was beyond their expectations.
An Ning felt a little proud: You people who are fighting for your political life want to use me as a gunman, but there is no way. I have money, a gun, and a fortress-like monastery in Konta, so I am at ease.
After the initial shock, Mirabeau took a step forward: "Isn't this bad? You fought such a beautiful battle, so you should be rewarded based on your merits."
An Ning smiled: "Of course, I also want some rewards. You must know that I am only a captain. I am afraid it is a bit inappropriate to lead the National Guards in the entire Konta area with the rank of captain."
Lafayette: "Of course, Mr. Robespierre has proposed to promote you to brigadier general. But I see that you have not come back to resume your duties. Direct promotion is against the procedure, so I object to this proposal."
An Ning: "Is it just a brigadier general? I am the person who wants to serve as the military commander of the Konta region. Is it more appropriate to give me a lieutenant general?"
The way Lafayette looked at An Ning was very simple and easy to understand, and the subtext was easy to guess: You have been promoted to captain and brigadier general, and your rocket has soared, so be content.
But An Ning did not give in: "I am the regional chief of Kongta."
Lafayette: "Well, as long as the National Assembly votes and passes it, there will be no problem."
Petion: "Wait a minute, it's not good for us to stand under the sun and talk about business. We'd better go in first."
An Ning nodded: "Okay, in addition, I also sent the masterminds of the Konta rebellion. They are waiting for trial by the parliament."
"Oh, the mastermind." Mirabeau seemed to have just remembered this matter, "Yes, we need to put him on trial."
Apparently, no one had paid attention to the trial of the rebel mastermind before.
