On the morning of July 14, a large number of citizens gathered in Revolution Square early in the morning.
At eight o'clock, Lafayette's National Guard marched into the square and surrounded a large area in the middle of the square as an area for the ceremony.
Starting from nine o'clock, more and more citizens gathered, and the area outside the area surrounded by the Self-Defense Forces was already filled with citizens.
An Ning also brought his troops to the Revolution Square at this time. Some people saw An Ning riding in front of the troops with a tall head, and then they shouted: "He is the hero of Versailles!"
Someone immediately corrected him: "Asshole, the hero of Versailles is the hero of the Bastille and Konta's battlefield magician!"
An Ning pretended not to hear the crowd's voice, but his expression betrayed him: in fact, it was quite useful for him to hear the crowd praising him like this.
The peaceful troops were scheduled to participate in the upcoming military parade. For this reason, the company he brought back from Konta had already gone through seven days of formation training, and the training consisted of four columns marching in unison.
As for the Guards Cavalry Regiment that had just been placed under An Ning's name, they usually practiced ceremonial guarding, but they didn't need much training.
Afterwards, the various armies participating in the military parade gradually took their positions, the number of people increased several times over time, and the entire Revolution Square was blocked with water.
Many of the people were wearing red freedom hats, so from An Ning's perspective, the entire square was awash in red, making him feel as if he had returned to his homeland.
An Ning saw Danton and others on the auditorium. Robespierre was still wearing his old green coat, but he did not wear a wig and also put on a liberty cap.
It is said that the liberty hat was a traditional costume in Asia Minor. Later, in the Roman era, it became a symbol of emancipation of slaves. Now, this meaning has been extended to a symbol of freedom.
At ten o'clock sharp, King Louis XVI and Queen Mary appeared in special seats on the auditorium.
The king did not wear a liberty cap, but a black three-cornered hat, but on the brim was a very large tricolor garden emblem.
Queen Mary did not wear anything related to red, white and blue, and she seemed to be proudly insisting on her aristocratic status.
When the crowd saw that the queen did not have the three-color symbol on her body, they immediately became agitated.
An Ning heard someone yell: "Damn Austrian bitch! She still doesn't support freedom!"
An Ning glanced at the direction where this sentence came from, but she didn't see clearly who said it.
At this time, Lafayette walked up to the viewing platform where the king was sitting. He said something to the queen, and the queen reluctantly took the hairpin with the tricolor emblem from Lafayette and put it on
It is worn on the head.
Then the crowd, who had been cursing just now, burst into cheers, as if this was some huge victory.
Lafayette himself wore a National Guard uniform and an officer's hat with a feather dyed in three colors.
An Ning looked at the feather, and suddenly thought that among the gifts sent to the manor these days, there seemed to be feathers of this bird. It turned out that they were used to make hats!
An Ning didn't know anything about it. She thought it was used as a quill pen for writing, so she just ignored it.
What An Ning now wears on her head is an ordinary three-color round emblem.
However, An Ning's clothes were also carefully prepared by Fanny. The fabrics are very high-end and there are many accessories, just like the old Beijing bannermen in the movie "Teahouse".
An Ning's Legion of Honor medal hangs on his left chest. Fanny wiped it carefully and probably waxed it, so the cross gleamed in the sun.
After Lafayette said hello to His Majesty the King, he came to the front of the viewing platform.
"Now I announce that the storming of the Bastille marks the beginning of the celebrations for the first anniversary of the revolution! Next is the first item of the event, the National Guard military parade! Military band, play music!"
Because there were no loudspeakers or other equipment in this era, Lafayette's voice sounded a bit soft to An Ning, as if it was coming from a long distance.
An Ning couldn't hear what he was saying at all.
However, the military band started playing, and An Ning heard it clearly.
An Ning is not sure about the name of the song. Anyway, he had never heard this song before time travel, so it probably has not been passed down to later generations.
It should be just an ordinary march.
An Ning glanced at the ceremonial officer next to him and said: "The military parade has begun, let's go!"
As he spoke, he gently touched the horse's belly with the spurs on his feet and made the horse move forward slowly.
Yes, the vanguard of the entire military parade is Andy Frost.
An Ning assembled a big white horse and walked at the forefront of the entire military parade, striding proudly.
The ceremonial officer loudly announced An Ning's name: "The first person to walk through the auditorium was the hero of the storming of the Bastille, the escort of Versailles, the pacifier of the Konta rebellion, and the magician of the battlefield, Andy Froese.
special!"
The crowd cheered loudly.
An Ning couldn't help but straighten her body amidst the cheers.
After the cheers subsided, someone suddenly sang loudly: "Do you hear the people's song?
"The angry people singing?
"This is the song of a nation
“Break the shackles and win liberation!
"When your heart beats
"With the beating of the war drums,
"A new life is about to begin
"With the dawn of tomorrow..."
An Ning frowned slightly. He was too familiar with the melody of this song. It was a famous episode of the musical "Les Misérables".
The only problem is that the original musical "Les Misérables" depicts the Republican uprising in Paris in 1832, and the musical was only premiered in the 1980s, and the song is also in English.
Good guy, it traveled so many years and was born during the Revolution? And it also became French?
Well, let’s get ahead of it. Apart from being an English song, this song is very suitable for the French Revolution in all aspects.
Now that it's a French song, the only problem is gone.
But... why do people start singing this song when the ceremonial officer introduces me?
As soon as An Ning had this question, she got the answer.
Because he heard the crowd singing: "The Lion of the Bastille leads us, let us declare war on the ancient past!"
An Ning wants to hold his forehead.
What the hell?
The Lion of the Bastille?
Are you talking about me who was forcibly picked up and carried to prison?
No, I can't afford it...
However, the crowd was still singing enthusiastically, and even many National Guardsmen who were maintaining order sang along.
An Ning glanced at Lafayette on the viewing platform and felt that Lafayette's face was particularly dark.
The entire Place de la Revolution sang, "The Lion of the Bastille inspires us"!
An Ning could only keep a straight face and pretend to be very solemn. Fortunately, he was riding a horse and his feet were not touching the ground. If his feet were touching the ground, his toes would be able to create a three-bedroom apartment on the ground.
But the crowd was so happy that they started singing the song again from the beginning.
Everyone sang loudly and swayed their bodies, making it look like waves surging in the square.
On the roofs of houses around the square, there were also people holding high the tricolor flag, and they were also waving the flags in time with the singing.
There is no doubt that the protagonist of this square today is An Ning.
In the midst of singing, An Ning walked past the auditorium.
The following ceremony was not peaceful. He was planning to lead his troops back home after this. Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the edge of the square, a captain caught up with him on horseback and said to An Ning: "Your Excellency, Major General, pull
General Fayet invites you to come to the viewing platform and participate in the ceremony together!"
