Before the French troops entered the city, they stopped outside the city and An Ning mobilized the entire army before entering the city.
"We are the liberators of Italy, not plunderers. We must show our fine style and do what the military song says, take nothing and be polite!"
An Ning rode on his horse and loudly lectured the entire army.
Many of his armies were formed by incorporating the defecting French troops after defeating Lafayette. The military discipline of these armies was not as strong as his original basic troops.
These troops are capable of robbery. In Diego Anning, they severely dealt with a few robbers and enforced strict military discipline.
If possible, An Ning wanted to only let the Dawu Division enter the city. The Dawu Division was formed from his own original troops. After more than a year of training and education, the military discipline must be much stronger than that of the recruited troops.
An Ning prepared to deploy Laharpe's Division - now Lannes' Division - to the direction of the Mantua Fortress to monitor the movements of the Austrian army.
But Lana's division had been fighting for so many days anyway, so it was unreasonable not to let them go into Milan city to take a rest.
Therefore, An Ning could only try to improve the military discipline of the army through speeches.
Although I came to Italy to complete primitive accumulation, my troops cannot rob.
This feels quite darkly humorous.
After completing the training, An Ning took the lead and started to enter the city.
The leading figures in the city of Milan had already received the news and lined up outside the city to welcome the French army into the city. Many ordinary people in Milan also ran to the outside of the city to watch.
Looking from a distance, An Ning could not help but think of the scene of letting bullets fly inside to take office in Goose City - a large group of people shouting and cheering outside the city of Milan - all he needed was a drummer.
An Ning arranged his female cavalry troops to enter the city first, right behind his staff.
The reason for this arrangement is that the female cavalry are the ceremonial bodyguards of the King of France after all. The girls look very aura and good-looking, and following him makes him look good.
In this way, An Ning led a group of female knights to the welcoming Italians.
I don’t know why, but many of the Italians who came to greet An Ning were fat men with big bellies. When An Ning came over, the leader of the fat men stepped forward and shouted: "Long live freedom and equality!"
He speaks French.
Probably in the eyes of this group of wealthy Italians, revolutionary France is best known for its "liberty and equality".
An Ning responded directly in Italian: "Long live the liberation of Italy!"
The Italians looked at each other in confusion, and then the fat man who had just shouted "Long Live Freedom and Equality" asked on their behalf: "The liberation of Italy?"
An Ning: "Yes, we are here for the liberation of Italy, and we will support you to free yourself from the rule of the Holy Roman Empire!"
An Ning said all these words in Italian, so the Italians who were watching started talking about it.
The potbellied Italian gentlemen looked at each other in confusion.
Suddenly, a young Italian shouted: "Don't we have to pay taxes to France?"
An Ning: "Of course, from today on, you are citizens of the independent Italian country. You only need to pay taxes to your own government and maintain the operation of your own government."
Of course, we will use a new way to plunder Italy's wealth, a more covert way.
An Ning didn't say this out loud.
The Italians were in an uproar. It seemed that they had thought that the French were also here to rule Italy.
The fat man who shouted "Long Live Equality" at first couldn't believe it. He took a step forward and asked: "So there won't be another Governor's Palace?"
An Ning nodded: "Yes, there won't be one. But there will be a National Assembly, just like the one in Paris, France! Next we will hang the Shinra governor in Milan and arrest all the compradors who helped him oppress the Italian people.
Get up and hang yourself!"
The fat man said "Ah" with a look of horror on his face: "This..."
At this time, a young man among the Italian crowd who was watching shouted: "He is the mayor of Milan of Shinra! He is an accomplice of the governor! They are all!"
An Ning thought to herself, no wonder you are so fat, it turns out that's the case.
An Ning: "Ms. Oliver!"
"I am here."
An Ning: "Arrest all these gentlemen! But treat them well. Before a court composed of Italians tries them, we as outsiders have no right to deal with them!"
Anning continued: "Milan will be the Milan of Italians! A free Milan! Italians will have their own government, their own parliament, their own army and police! Before everything is on track, free France will supervise everything.
proceed, maintain order, and fight against the Austrian army!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Italian independents mixed in the crowd shouted: "Long live Italy, long live freedom, long live free France!"
The crowd followed this small group of Italian independents and shouted.
In the midst of this shouting, Ms. Oliver led the female knights and arrested all the fat gentlemen who greeted the French army.
An Ning: "Now, could you please show me the way? We are going to the Governor's Palace of the Holy Roman Empire."
Someone in the crowd responded: "The Governor ran away long ago! When the news came that you defeated Marshal Beaulieu, he ran away!"
As soon as this person finished speaking, someone in the crowd asked: "Will you hang the nobles? I heard that after the French Revolution, all the nobles were hanged."
An Ning: "Whether we will hang the nobles or not will be decided by the National Assembly of the revolutionary Italians! If the assembly votes that they should be hanged, they will be hanged! The Italians will decide everything themselves!"
After the words fell, the citizens of Milan, led by Italian independents, shouted "Long live freedom and long live France".
Then the Italians began to sing a song. This was a song that told about the oppression of Italy by the HRE and looked forward to Italy's independence. This was originally a very sad and angry song, but now it has a joyful feeling.
Beethoven, who witnessed this scene, sighed: "The Italians have welcomed a real hero, a real liberator! Oh, I am so happy for them!"

What General Frost did in Milan, Italy, was reported back to Paris.
Brissot, the Girondin who now controls the Parliament, was so angry that his nose was crooked. He slammed the table in the Girondin club angrily: "What does this Frost want to do? We are still counting on Italian taxes to improve the financial situation."
Woolen cloth!"
"I have told you a long time ago that he is a Jacobin! The Jacobins don't want our best!" Condorcet said angrily, "How to deal with such a big thing as Milan, but he didn't ask the Parliament for instructions! He didn't ask the Parliament at all.
Take it seriously!”
Brissot: "We must depose him as commander of the Italian Army and let him return to Paris to pay for what he has done!"
Condorcet looked embarrassed: "He has won the battle after all. Isn't it inappropriate to remove him at this time? The Jacobins will definitely take the opportunity to cause trouble in the newspapers."
"The most important thing for us now is to put the new king on the throne and maintain the stability of Paris.
"The Jacobins are very prestigious among the trousers in Paris. What if they don't cooperate and start a trousers riot?"
Brissot banged the table and cursed.
At this time Condorcet added: "Moreover, the new king's father, the Grand Duke of Orleans, has a very good relationship with Frost, so it will be even harder for us to touch him."
Brissot: "Damn it, why did we find someone like this to be the king?"
"That's because other people with inheritance rights were either killed or went abroad."
