131 Frost the Traitor

After that, An Ning went to inspect three possible places to camp.

In the next few days, An Ning was actively preparing for a possible war.

Although this is the case, the current situation may not necessarily evolve into war, and peace may still slip away.

After all, everything An Ning does in name is in compliance with the laws of the Parliament. The redemption policy is set by the Parliament and the certificates are issued by the Parliament. It can only be said that the Parliament left a loophole and An Ning took advantage of it.

It is also possible that the next development will be that the parliament issues a law to close the loopholes, and then sends a commissioner here to ask An Ning to implement the new law.

That way it would take a long time to go back and forth.

It's already July, Louis XVI is about to flee, and An Ning might be able to step down from the spotlight.

However, An Ning did not dare to neglect preparations for war.

Because he knew that the Parliament wanted to go to war at this time. In real history, in November 1791, the Parliament took the initiative to launch a war against Prussia and Austria, with the purpose of promoting revolution in neighboring countries.

Yes, they want to turn Prussia and Austria into constitutional monarchies and promote revolution.

So there is a reason why Gefa was surrounded and suppressed. At first, Gefa took the initiative to promote his own methods. Especially after Louis XVI was beheaded, all European monarchs were in danger and had to unite.

As for why the Parliament wants to go to war at this time, there are several reasons. One is that the Parliament feels that the current instability in the country is caused by the old aristocracy in foreign countries. They do not even realize that there is a problem with their own land policy.

The second is that fighting can also shift the focus.

The third is that you can make a fortune by fighting a war.

All in all, there may be too many people in the parliament supporting a war at this time, and An Ning has to guard against it.

For this reason, An Ning, who had always wanted to be ruined, actually started running around every day like a real social animal.

**

While An Ning was actively preparing for war, the parliament was also discussing how to deal with the Konta area for several days.

"The news I got here is that Mr. Frost has assembled an army of old aristocrats!" The speaker slammed the table hard, "Isn't this enough evidence? He is fighting with the opposition abroad. Collusion, plotting against the National Assembly! Against His Majesty the King!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Marat stood up: "I don't think he would do this! You remember, Frost is the hero of the Bastille! He saved the revolution in danger many times!

"If there is only one person in Paris who has a heart for revolution, it is Mr. Frost!"

Mara's words aroused opposition. Someone stood up and shouted: "Mara! Don't think we don't know, you and he are in the same group!"

Marat was also angry: "What's wrong? Mr. Frost has always cared about the people and is a well-deserved friend of the people! Look at him using his own money to buy fields and distribute them to the people! How could such a person betray the revolution?"

"What's his own money? He uses coupons!"

"Aren't the coupons issued by the parliament? The parliament also uses the coupons to pay the salaries of civil servants and the army! Since it can pay wages, it can buy land!" Mara refused to give in.

These words left many people speechless.

But immediately someone else raised the alarm: "Your Mr. Frost, he pays the troops' wages himself, but he uses real money! It means that he does not support the bond, he is a traitor!"

Mara: "That's because he is in a remote area. As early as last year when he sent troops to suppress the rebellion, he said he was hungry. In remote areas, they do not recognize fingerprints and can only use silver coins! It is better to say that he can take out his own

Silver coins to pay the troops are proof that he is committed to the revolution! But you, the banker Mr. Grote, you also have a lot of silver coins! Use them to support the Congress! Use them to pay the National Guards!"

Grote faltered for a few words and suddenly seemed to have found a life-saving straw. He slapped the table and shouted: "Since it is a remote area and since thumb coupons are not recognized there, then thumb coupons should not be used to buy land!"

"Those who don't recognize the thumbprint are the farmers in remote areas! When Frost bought the land, he bought the land from the patriots in the local council! Patriots should recognize the thumbprint!" Marat also slapped the table and retorted.

Then several people slapped the table and stood up: "You are sophistry!"

"This is a double standard!"

Mara: "Nonsense! My logic is self-consistent!"

Then a large group of people stood up and refuted Mara.

At this time, the rotating speaker Brissot stood up: "Gentlemen! There is obviously no point in continuing the debate. I propose that the voting begin now, and everyone use their votes to clarify their opinions!"

The expression on Mara's face changed when she heard this.

Nowadays, many of An Ning's friends cannot run for election in this session of Parliament because of Robespierre's motion. Although there are still many members of the Jacobin Club in the Parliament, many of these people are not very familiar with Frost.

In addition, the Girondins have been advocating on various occasions that they must take practical actions now to give enemies at home and abroad a good look. If they vote now, it is very likely that Andy will become a traitor recognized by the Parliament.

But Marat was powerless to stop the vote.

After all, the voting is in full compliance with parliamentary procedures, and enough people must object to stop the voting.

Mara simply couldn't gather that many people.

So the voting process began.

Marat could only watch as Andy Frost was defined as a traitor by Parliament.

**

Lafayette was pacing back and forth in his office, anxiously waiting for the results of today's parliamentary discussion.

Suddenly, Berthier opened the door and came in: "The Parliament has passed a resolution, and Andy Frost has been designated as the chief leader of the domestic counter-revolution, the man behind the turbulent situation in the country, and the chief backstage of the traitors."

Lafayette punched the table hard: "Great! Has the Congress decided when to attack him?"

"The people from the parliament are already outside the door. They have come to invite you to the parliament to ask for your opinions on counterinsurgency."

Lafayette: "Then what are you waiting for? I'll go right away!"

Tuileries Palace, study.

Queen Mary is persuading Louis XVI.

"My dear, these hateful rebels are busy fighting among themselves now. It is the best time to escape to Austria! As long as we run to the border and join General Bouye's troops, the royalists scattered everywhere will gather towards us!

Prussia, Austria, Tsarist Russia, and even the Kingdom of Sardinia on the Italian Peninsula will support us!

"We can kill these hateful MPs in one fell swoop and take back everything that belongs to us! Look at the life we ​​are living now! This Tuileries is so small and stuffy!

"I am an Austrian princess, and I am marrying a king! Not a commoner!"

Louis XVI looked embarrassed: "Isn't it too bad to run away now? Now because of the unpopularity of parliamentary policies, my reputation outside Paris is rising. After a while..."

Queen Mary interrupted Louis XVI: "What are you waiting for! Didn't you hear that some of those congressmen were privately talking about establishing a republic like the people in the New World?

"They can kidnap you from Versailles to Paris, and they can take away your crown! Because they no longer despise the royal power!

"We must leave Paris and join the martyrs who support the royal power! His Majesty Leopold of Austria is my relative, and he will not ignore me!" Mary stepped forward and said eagerly.

Louis XVI pursed his lips and hesitated.

At this time, someone knocked on the door.

Mary: "Come in!"

The door opened, and it was the Queen's Swedish lover, Count Axel Felsson. After he came in, he bowed slightly to Louis XVI, and then reported: "The Parliament has just made a decision to announce that Contar's Commissioner Andy Fo

Rost is a traitor, Lafayette has rushed to the Congress, and may send troops soon."

When Louis XVI heard this, he was overjoyed: "What? Really? Great! I've tolerated that bastard for a long time! Lafayette, go and crush him!"

Mary turned her head, walked to Louis XVI in three steps, and held his hand: "Your Majesty! When Lafayette sends troops, it is our best chance to escape! This opportunity cannot be missed!"

Louis XVI pursed his lips and hesitated again.

Queen Mary: "Your Majesty!"

Louis XVI sighed: "Okay! We will leave when Lafayette leaves Paris!"
