On the first night An Ning arrived in Marseille, the royal party gathered in Marseille launched a large-scale rebellion.
Then An Ning pulled the French army onto the streets.
In addition to the French army, a large number of patriots also took to the streets spontaneously.
One of the sequelae of the Great Revolution is that there are a large number of weapons and ammunition among the people. Whether it is the royal party or the blue party, they can bring out a large number of armed people at any time.
After all, the French army in Marseille was well prepared, so the royalist rebellion was immediately suppressed, and the surrounding royalists were also eliminated.
In January 1793, royal blood flowed like rivers around Marseille.
The latest order came from Paris. The National Assembly issued a new decree and decided to invest in a new type of execution machine to execute traitors quickly and cost-effectively.
When An Ning received the order, he sighed and muttered, "Sure enough, the guillotine has finally made it onto the stage of history."
In the original history, the guillotine was put into large-scale use only after it was improved by Louis XVI.
This time and space was smoothed by Louis XVI, but the guillotine was still put into use.
This is also a return to the world line.
On January 20, after An Ning settled the matter in Marseille, he led the Southern Army and began to move north.
At this time, the National Assembly in Paris issued a call for "Patriots from all over France, Paris needs you", and patriots from all over the country were rushing to Paris.
An Ning's troops marched all the way, singing the Marseillaise that this time and space had already called "Ode to Rome", once again restoring history.
At the inn that was still one day away from Paris, An Ning met Marat, the commissioner of the National Assembly, who came to greet him.
"My friend!" Mala shouted enthusiastically while hugging An Ning, "You are finally back!"
An Ning smiled and said: "Yes, I'm back, with all my beard and tail. Why did you become a special correspondent?"
"Because I don't have the status of a member, I can only sit in and watch when I participate in the parliament," Marat shrugged. "After all, I am the last one. Then Robespierre sent me to greet you."
"Is Maximilian okay?" An Ning asked.
Marat shrugged: "He is very good, and he is busy fighting against the royal party now. However, the opposition is also resisting fiercely. The royal party surrounded the Tuileries Palace to protect His Majesty the King."
An Ning frowned: "Isn't the National Assembly right next to the Tuileries Palace? Then how do you hold a meeting?"
"Of course, the meeting was held under the protection of the National Guard, and there were also some armed people who supported the parliament. However, because of the conscription bill, there was a huge backlash from various places. It's really strange. Some people obviously wear freedom hats and tricolor emblems on their heads.
He shouted louder than anyone else, and as soon as they were asked to join the French army to defend the motherland, they stopped."
Marla cursed several obscene words and spat.
Marat: "You know, Paris is pretty good, but the Vendée side is already in a mess. The rebellion that was suppressed has rekindled. The British even sent over a Marquis of some sort, who seems to be a big noble from the Vendée side.
Generations of descendants.”
An Ning frowned, thinking, isn't this the plot of Victor Hugo's "1993", where the British brought a descendant of a marquis, causing chaos throughout western France.
Napoleon said: "How did I hear in Marseille that the British will start to support France against Austria?"
Marat: "Damn it, how could the British unite with France?"
No, they actually joined forces later, later.
Marat continued: "In short, the situation in Paris is terrible. Those traitors even started to establish a separate parliament, just like we had a separate meeting on the tennis court! Maximilian has always advocated using the toughest attitude to eliminate everything.
But there was constant opposition in the parliament.
"Damn it, we should send these people to the guillotine!"
It sounds like the Jacobins have not yet received strong military support, so they are not yet able to carry out their terror policy to the end.
In other words, peace would be a timely blessing for the Jacobins.
Marat: "So, everything will be fine now that you are here. The Parliament has just passed a resolution. You are now the commander of security in Paris and are responsible for maintaining law and order in Paris. We are all counting on you to strike hard!"
An Ning curled her lips and thought to herself, okay, now I am a major general, and then I became the commander of Paris security, it corresponds completely, right?
Then wouldn’t the Sunset Knight in my hand become empty and lost?
Now I really had to strike hard.
Will there be another Kim Jae-gyu by then who can kill Robespierre?
Mara: "Frost! What's wrong with you?"
An Ning was freed from his own contemplation: "Nothing, I'm thinking about how to restore order in Paris as quickly as possible."
Napoleon next to him said: "No need to ask, my cavalry artillery unit is very suitable for deploying in Paris, and grape bullets can deal with all traitors!"
In history, Napoleon really used grape bullets to blast the royalists from close range on the streets of Paris. This time it was repeated in history.
An Ning glanced at Napoleon: "I'll leave it to you when the time comes. But we've come a long way, so let's rest and see the situation first."
Marat: "Do you still want to rest? The situation in Paris is really critical! Someone has long threatened to assassinate Robespierre. Someone rushed in front of Robespierre and wanted to shoot, but the gun was filled with medicine.
The gunpowder was scattered and the ignition was not completed!"
For guns of this era, a little gunpowder was put into the powder pool to ignite the fire. The flint on the hammer struck a spark, which ignited the gunpowder in the powder pool and then ignited the gunpowder in the gun chamber.
Therefore, the guns of this era lacked concealment. After pouring gunpowder into the medicine tank, you had to hold it carefully to prevent the gunpowder inside from spilling out. Generally, gunpowder was poured into the medicine tank before firing, so it lacked concealment.
, if you fill the gun first and then hide it when approaching the target, problems will easily occur. It is far less convenient than electronic ignition firearms.
An Ning: "Maximilian was assassinated?"
"Yes!" Mara nodded seriously, "So you know how critical the situation is now, right?"
An Ning suddenly remembered that Mara was also assassinated in real history, and the female assassin who killed him was regarded as a saint by the royal party.
So An Ning said to Mara: "You have to be careful too, or else you can live in my military camp from now on, you and Maximilian."
Marat flatly refused: "No, the newspaper I edit is called Friend of the People, so naturally I want to be with the people! If the people can't see me as editor-in-chief, then what else is it called Friend of the People?"
An Ning looked at Mara's ugly face: "Then at least let me send you some bodyguards."
Marat hesitated for a while and nodded: "Okay, if you insist on sending, I have no objection. But the key is the situation in Paris! In this situation, we will be finished without waiting for Austria and Prussia to attack!"
An Ning: "I will handle the situation in Paris."
He glanced at Napoleon and said meaningfully: "It will be taken care of."
