"It is a pity that my father's career suffered such a heavy blow, but it does not mean that the path he chose is wrong, nor does it mean that I, as the heir, will cease to exist! Just imagine if he gave up in Toulon
After losing his career, he gave up his career in Egypt, and even gave up his career in Marengo. Is it still possible for an empire to emerge? Is it possible for such a glorious achievement to be born? He did not give up even in desperate situations. He fought against misfortune again and again.
Fighting, even after he was kicked off the throne, he still chose to fight to the end! With such an example in front of me, can I stop?"
Aiglon's question left the veteran speechless.
His hands were tightly holding the gold coins that Aigron had just given him, and his lips were trembling slightly.
"Yes, you have the right to fight for the empire and fight to inherit his career." Then, he loudly replied to the young man in front of him, "Just because you have this courage, you are qualified to say that you are better than those princes."
We are strong!"
Then, he bowed to Aigron with excitement, "I don't know what others will think, but I am willing to pay tribute to you. I dedicated everything to your father. The most precious years of my life were spent in
To serve in the army for him, I was transferred back and forth across various places and ran thousands of kilometers. I have no complaints about this because I saw those spectacular cities and military features, and I witnessed the greatest victories of our country...
…Without him, I would only waste my life in this hellish place forever, and then turn into dust. There will definitely be no second person who will get our love like him…”
After sighing for a moment, he suddenly realized that what he said seemed inappropriate, so he hurriedly made up for it, "Of course, if you can return to the throne, then we will love you as much as we loved him."
"Don't be nervous, sir. Of course my current achievements cannot compare with his." Aigron smiled and said that he didn't care.
Then, he raised his voice again, "But no matter how different our achievements are, our love for this country is equally strong. With the same ardent heart, we are ready to serve this country that generously gave us the crown. I inherit his
Bloodline, this is a blessing given to me by God, but what I inherited from him is not only the throne, but also a ruthless iron fist and never-ending enthusiasm! He ended those terrible years, and I want to continue those stable times;
He made the code, and I guard it; he led France to find glory, and I want to bring her prosperity!
This is the mission given to me by God. Although fate has caused me to suffer and caused some twists and turns in my mission, this will never hinder me from fulfilling my obligations, because I was born for this. In the past ten years or so,
What are the setbacks? The Bourbon royal family had to wait for more than 20 years before they had the opportunity to return to France. Could it be that my confidence and patience would be worse than these cowardly people? Phew, they are worthy of comparing with me.
?They can’t even do half of what I was able to do when I was sixteen. As for the achievements that the late emperor completed before he was forty, they can’t even imagine that they can even touch it for four hundred years! They just rely on foreign countries.
I was picked out of the rubbish heap to pretend to be the king with the bayonet of a human being, so that I can represent the future of this country!”
With an excitement that was almost crazy, Aigron shouted a lot loudly.
Some of these words were something he had already thought of in his mind before, while others were something he blurted out on the spot on the spur of the moment. Of course, no matter which one he said, he used all his passion and risked his life.
At this moment, he was not so much roaring in a small country cafe as he was roaring like Cicero when he was eloquent in the Senate.
The most important thing about impromptu speaking is to have passion.
The same thing will have completely different effects when said by a lifeless person than by a passionate person.
Language itself is just a medium of communication. Only when passion is infused into it can it become truly magical.
Moreover, no one in this small cafe dared to stand up to refute or interrupt him, so he could vent his passion and anger.
Fortunately, this young man has never lacked the above two things in his chest.
"Yes, Your Majesty, you are the future." Veteran Anglers had tears in his eyes at this moment. He stood up straight, then managed to raise his arm with the wound on his shoulder, and solemnly gave a military salute to the young man, "I hope
Looking forward to the day when you enter Paris as soon as possible..."
While he was crying, Aigron turned his attention to the other two veterans who walked out from the crowd with him.
Then, he asked their names one by one, and then learned more about their service experience back then. Aigron expressed his gratitude and encouragement for the hardships they had endured, and for the treatment they received today, Aigron expressed his gratitude.
He expressed his apology. In his opinion, it was precisely because he lost the throne that these people who had served the empire through life and death were treated like this.
Like the veteran just now, Egeron also asked Andre Davout to give them some money as a late thank you.
The veterans were certainly very grateful to receive such a gift for no reason, and they also had mixed feelings about Aiglon.
Aiglon seized the little time he had to communicate with them, affectionately remembering the friendship that the soldiers of the empire forged during the national battle, and made a solemn promise
"One day, although not now, but one day, I will enter Paris and rebuild the empire. For me, that is not just the return of the Bonaparte family to the throne, there are more important things than that.
I want to liquidate the unfair treatment we suffered back then, liquidate those who made us suffer, and liquidate those incompetent people who deliberately confuse right and wrong and climb on top of the French people to dominate!
We lost at that time, but not to these bastards and idiots. They are not worthy of facing me in the name of a winner, and will never be worthy! So I want all these silverfish to get the end they deserve, and let those who are now forced to silence
The warriors have regained the respect they deserve. Justice. What we demand is justice, and I am the one who wants to enforce justice. You are the reason for me to seize the scepter! In order to achieve justice, I ask you to take out your dust.
I have long been courageous, lend me your strength, and support me just like you did when I fought for my father in the bloody battle. I promise you, you will never regret it. With you here, I will never be alone.
I will walk with you towards fairness and justice!"
As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to veteran Anglers.
The veteran was stunned for a moment, and then he looked at the burning fire in the young man's eyes. Without any hesitation, he raised his dusty hand between the nails and held the young man's hand tightly.
This is the emperor's heir, he is back, he is holding my hand...
Although intellectually he knew that there were too many difficulties and obstacles for this young man to return to the throne, at this moment he believed and was willing to believe that he would be able to get what he wanted and bring all the emperor's soldiers with him (no matter at this moment)
Life or death), continue the interrupted history of the empire, and then knock down all the bastards who once proudly liquidated them to the ground and step into the mud pit.
This is exactly what he expected to see.
"Long live the Emperor!" In his excitement, he no longer had any scruples, and the admiration for His Majesty the Emperor that had been buried in his heart burst out.
Seeing that the other party had been guided to the right state, Aigron felt relieved. It seemed that not everyone had lost the pursuit of life like the old mayor and was unmoved by all external things.
As long as there are still some people who remember the empire, nostalgic for its past glory, and talk about the glorious deeds of Emperor Napoleon and the Grand Army, then he will have potential supporters. As long as he can inspire these supporters, he will have enough
of capital.
Maybe many people are still disgusted with themselves and the Bonaparte family, but this is not important. No matter how great a saint is, he will inevitably have enemies. He only needs to ensure that his supporters are united and obedient enough.
The Bourbon dynasty is unpopular. Their rule is already shaky and will end sooner or later. As long as he can gather enough loyal supporters, he can achieve his goals in the chaos of the dynasty's collapse.
With a trace of joy and determination, a joyful smile burst out on his face. He held the veteran's hand tightly and shouted loudly.
"Long live the Empire!"
"Long live the Empire!" Several other veterans also shouted selflessly.
Perhaps out of a herd mentality, other people present began to shout along sparsely, and as time passed, more and more people shouted, and in the end, most of the people started shouting together.
.
The atmosphere in the cafe was suddenly filled with passion after the previous tension had disappeared. In a daze, Aigron felt as if he was participating in some kind of celebration.
Although they are just a group of villagers, they are French after all, and they are not opposed to becoming their subjects. Judging from their performance, Aiglon feels that his career is not without hope of success in the short term.
After all, compared to the aging King Charles X and his mediocre son, the Duke of Angoulême, his personal charm is more attractive to the French people.
Of course, even after making this judgment, Aigron did not intend to blindly rush forward. He knew that this group of people had been temporarily inspired to remember the empire, but this passion was not firm and would not last long.
It's one thing to shout slogans for him, it's another thing to charge into battle and die generously for him.
Time is passing, and the danger he faces is increasing every second. Now it is time to make the next plan.
Aiglon knew that he took the risk of sneaking back to France this time to take advantage of the Bourbon royal government's unpreparedness. When they received the news, the angry King Charles X would definitely be furious. Next time he wants to sneak back to the country to cause trouble.
It's not that easy anymore.
Therefore, he must seize this short window period and try to create as much momentum as possible.
It was safe to make a fuss in this small cafe and arouse people's popularity, but it was not very interesting. He wanted to make it bigger.
Amidst the cheers of "Long Live the Empire", Aigron looked at the veteran who was still shaking hands with him.
"Sir, do you dare to go out with me?" he asked.
"Why do you have to ask!" the veteran replied generously, and then smiled disdainfully, "I was not afraid of those bullets and bullets back then, you just tell me where you want to go!"
"Okay, show me the way." Aigron made the request, "Take me to the church."
"Church?" The veteran was stunned for a moment.
"Yes, I want the priest to help summon the nearby villagers, the more the better." Aigron said his plan, "I want to talk to my own people!"
"Yes!" Without any hesitation, the veteran immediately nodded in agreement.
Then, Aigron let go of his hand, then turned to look at the people who were still cheering, waved and made a gesture.
Seeing what he had to say, people stopped talking and then turned to look at him.
"Gentlemen, I am very happy, really happy... After more than ten years away from the country, you can still recognize me as a Frenchman. This is the most precious recognition for me. My soul and this land have returned
We are integrated again." Aigron said loudly in an excited tone, "Next, I am going to the church to meet my people. Can you please come with me?"
His question immediately received a positive response. Whether it was out of loyalty and love for the Bonaparte family, or out of a spectator mentality, the vast majority of people chose to respond to this call.
They have all seen that this young man ventured back to the country to engage in political propaganda, not to kill people and set fires. Even in order to show the image of "loving the people", he would also pay attention to protecting the people around him.
In this case, as long as you cooperate obediently, you will never be in danger of life.
It’s not life-threatening anyway, so why not enjoy it just to see the excitement?
In this remote town, the days are always the same. No matter whether this young man's career is successful or not, today's events will be enough to become a topic of conversation for the next two or three generations.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, the veteran didn't say a word, turned around and took Aigron out of the cafe and walked towards the church. Others also gathered around Aigron and rushed towards the church together. Of course Aigron
He knew where the church was, but now that a veteran was taking the initiative to lead him, it became even more clear that he was "responsive to everyone". Of course, he was happy to see the situation develop like this.
He really needed to make an appearance in the open air. The climax of this adventure would be with the roaring of the church bells.
"Maybe it can't be called what everyone expected, but at least I have caught the pulse of France. If I bite it from now on, no one can shake me off!" Aigron thought to himself with a sense of satisfaction.
