On the day of welcoming Barras to Milan, An Ning discovered that Napoleon happened to be wearing a cuckold.
An Ning couldn't help but ask: "Napoleon, why are you wearing such a hat?"
Napoleon smiled and said: "Miss Melody chose it for me, how about it? I quite like it!"
An Ning: "Miss Melody, is that the socialite from Milan?"
"Yes, she is the protagonist of all salons and balls!" Napoleon did not dislike An Ning's statement at all, but seemed to be boasting, "I wrote a love novel for her! I will show it to you when I finish it!
"
Here comes Napoleon's love novel! In the original history, everyone suspected that the heroine of this book was Josephine, the owner of Malmaison Castle. Now I am afraid that this protagonist will become a social butterfly in Milan.
Josephine was also a social butterfly, and she cuckolded Napoleon more than once. Did Napoleon just like to associate with flirtatious women?
However, in this era, it seems that it is normal for women to cuckold their husbands, especially aristocratic women.
When An Ning read the biography of Napoleon, he always felt that it was really confusing for the upper class of this era to have an aristocratic circle.
This is also the reason why An Ning has not married a wife after traveling for so long. As a Chinese, he is quite resistant to cuckolding.
In this era of chaos, after I married my wife, I went out to fight for a few years, and when I came back, my son was one month old.
How disgusting is that.
But as a twenty-four-year-old young man, Napoleon was still full of longing for love, but historically he was supposed to have fallen in love with Josephine, the widow of Malmaison Castle.
In this time and space, Napoleon had not even been to Paris a few times. He had been following An Ning to fight everywhere since he came back from Corsica. This time he entered Milan. This should be the first time Napoleon stayed in a big city for more than half a year after returning from Corsica.
time.
So it is very normal for him to fall in love in Milan.
An Ning looked at Napoleon, who was wearing a cuckold, with very complicated eyes.
The reason why Miss Melody chose a green hat is probably because green is the color of the city emblem of Milan. She used this way to show that Napoleon was pursuing a Milanese girl.
But for An Ning, a Chinese, this green color has far-reaching meaning.
Especially now, Paul Barras has come from Paris. Looking at Mr. Barras and Napoleon's cuckold, An Ning feels a kind of connection that spans time and space.
Barras dismounted, strode forward and extended his hand to An Ning: "General Frost, I have long admired your name!"
An Ning held Baras's hand: "Hello, strange to say, I have been in Paris for a while, but I have never seen you."
"Because I had not yet joined the Jacobin Club at that time." Barras replied, "I have been listening to your legends since I entered the club. Mr. Marat, Mr. Robespierre and Mr. Danton were all right.
You appreciate it very much."
An Ning smiled and said: "They are all my old friends. Are they okay?"
Barras: "Of course,
Very good. Mr. Robespierre and Mr. Danton hold high positions in the new parliament. However, due to the rule that members cannot be re-elected, although Mr. Marat no longer holds a position in the parliament, he is active and active among the people every day.
The newspaper run by the Friends of Friends and criticized Brissot and others!"
An Ning couldn't help but frown.
After the Jacobins overthrew people, they did not eradicate them. Is this still like the Jacobins?
Sure enough, the current situation is not that dangerous, so the Accords did not pursue a policy of terror as they did in history.
Barras added: "Mr. Robespierre sent me as the special commissioner to persuade you to return to Paris and take charge of military work."
An Ning: "I can't go back. You should know that in this war, the Italian Army may have to face the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia and the army of the Holy Roman Empire at the same time. The enemy's strength is more than twice ours."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lazarus interjected: "We have been fighting twice as many enemies all the time, and we are almost used to it. But if you change it to someone else, they will definitely not be able to do it."
An Ning nodded: "That's what happened, so no, I can't leave Milan. I believe nothing will happen to Paris. After all, Paris has many more soldiers than us."
When An Ning said this, he suddenly thought of something. Historically, Paris had a steady supply of soldiers because there was Lazar Carnot who carried out military reforms in Paris and continuously transformed revolutionary citizens into the French army.
Therefore, the French army relied on its superior strength to defeat the enemy. The first few victories of the French Revolution were all because the revolutionary army was too numerous.
That's why Lazar Cano was nicknamed the organizer of victory.
Now that Lazar Carnot is under An Ning, the area he is responsible for has been changed to southern France. To be more specific, it is the territory of the original Kingdom of Aquitaine and the Grand Duchy of Provence, which is not in the same circle as Paris.
Could it be that Paris is going to have sex this time?
No, no, no, it's not that, it's just that there is no Lazarcano, and history won't change so much.
An Ning shook off the worries in his mind and said categorically to Barras again: "I will not return to Paris. I want to share the fate with my soldiers. I brought them to Italy, and I have the obligation to lead them in Italy."
Gain a glorious victory."
While An Ning said this, Beethoven took a pen and scribbled notes in his shorthand notebook. The painter David nodded repeatedly.
The first thing these two people did when they arrived in Milan was to publish a book of General Frost's words and deeds, publicizing the general's greatness to everyone.
An Ning didn't bother to care anymore.
After hearing what An Ning said, Barras suddenly lowered his face and looked at An Ning seriously: "General, are you a royalist or a patriot?"
An Ning looked around. At this time, many Milan citizens were watching General Frost greet the distinguished guests, so he said: "You go into the room first, and then I will tell you."
Then An Ning made a gesture of invitation.
Barras nodded.
After a while, everyone entered An Ning's study.
The study room was lit with incense from India, filled with refreshing freshness, and a huge globe occupied the space on the side of the desk.
When An Ning passed by the stove, she picked up the tongs and played with the charcoal fire inside to make the flames rise higher. Then, while taking off her coat and giving it to Fanny, she said to the guests from Paris: "Of course I am a patriot.
"
Barras said seriously: "However, some gentlemen in Paris seem to think that you are a royalist. After all, you have such a good relationship with the Grand Duke of Orleans, and you still have his daughter in your army..."
An Ning: "It's just a personal relationship and it doesn't affect my position."
Barras: "But when I passed Nice, I saw the black robes and white flags of the royal party everywhere."
An Ning curled her lips.
Nice is a place where the royalist party is very powerful. It should be said that the royalist party is quite strong throughout southern France.
It's just that An Ning's previous actions of suppressing the rebellion and dividing the land weakened the power of the royal party.
In addition, France is still a kingdom, so the royal party has not caused any waves.
In real history, royalist rebellions were launched throughout southern France, and it was Paul Barras who conquered Nice, which was occupied by the royalists, and established the Maritime Province of the Republic.
An Ning said seriously to Paul Barras: "You can rest assured that the royal party in the south will not be able to make waves. The reason why I only asked Lazar Cano to bring 10,000 people here is because I am worried about changes in the south."
Yes, with Lazar Carnot's talent, how could it be possible to organize only such a small number of troops for such a long time? An Ning left a large number of troops in southern France just to suppress the royalist rebellion when necessary.
He leaned forward and asked Barras extremely seriously: "It seems that the situation in Paris is very complicated."
Barras nodded: "The royal party is ready to move, and many people suspect that they intend to use the opportunity of the war between the Shinra and Prussia to restore the royal power. The whole of Paris is suspicious of each other.
"Mr. Marat is advocating to hang all the royalists, saying that every royalist is a potential traitor, and the royalists are also tit for tat.
"It is conceivable that once there is a defeat on the battlefield, even a small defeat, there will be a bloody storm throughout Paris."
An Ning: "That's why you are so anxious to transfer me back."
Barras nodded: "You are right, we need your military talent now! Paris needs you!"
An Ning shook his head repeatedly: "No, if the situation in Paris changes, I will let Lazar Carnot send the army he has trained for a long time to support Paris. But I will not go back, I will be here with my soldiers
