When Napoleon led his army into the Bastille, a group of ragged prisoners with weapons collided with them.
"Fire!"
Without waiting for Napoleon to think about it, he gave the order to attack, and it was clear that the prisoners had weapons in their hands, and if they were allowed to react first, then Napoleon would lose the first opportunity.
Originally, the reason why this group of prisoners rushed to the gates of the Bastille was because they had planned to cooperate with the mob besieging the Bastille outside, so as to achieve the purpose of contributing to the Bastille in one fell swoop, but who knew that the mob outside was not very powerful...
The mob that had besieged the Bastille had reached more than 10,000 men, but because the reinforcements of the 3rd Regiment of the Paris Jingbei Regiment had pinned down the strength of nearly 6,000 of the mob, so they lost half of their troops, and in the face of the Bastille with thick walls, the mob could only hope in the thirteen six-pounder guns.
The Bastille covers an area of about 2,670 square meters and has eight towers about 100 feet high, connected by walls 24 meters high and 3 meters wide, equipped with 15 heavy guns, and surrounded by a moat 26 meters wide and 8 meters deep.
To add to the legend, the Bastille is connected to the outside by only a drawbridge.
However, the mob's efforts had not been fruitless, at least a third of the trenches outside the Bastille had been filled by the mob.
If it weren't for Mary's emphasis on the Bastille, which allowed the prison to have sufficient funds every year to repair its own defenses, the walls of the Bastille, which is more than 500 years old, would have been overwhelmed.
With the army firing.
Most of the prisoners who rushed towards the drawbridge at the gate were knocked down, and the firepower points that towered over the towers around the prison were also the main targets of the prisoners inside the prison.
Why did these prisoners have weapons in their hands, and with the severity of the Bastille's martial arts.
How could these prisoners have a chance, Napoleon's mind felt that there was not a simple thing behind this matter.
"Don't shoot, I'm the Marquis of Penyedóf, as long as you let me go, my family will pay you a good reward!"
Just among the prisoners who had just been knocked out, a voice caught Napoleon's attention, and he fixed his gaze.
A young man was lying on the ground wailing loudly, and at the sight of that face, Napoleon burst out laughing.
This man was none other than the Marquis de Penyedof.
The reason why this marquis went to the Bastille was not because he was a radical person, but because the young marquis was an absolute conservative!
But political conservatism does not mean that the marquis is conservative in life, and the whole of Paris knows that the Marquis of Penyedoff is a different woman every night, and these women will be strangers to the marquis the next day.
Whenever this marquis appears somewhere.
The man's gaze as he looked at him was full of envy and resentment.
And the woman's gaze at the marquis is very interesting.
It is said that sixty percent of the ladies of Paris had slept with the young and handsome marquis, and importantly, the marquis's bedside companions included such heavyweights as the mistress of the Duke of Orleans, the niece of the Prince of Condé, and the brother-in-law of Louis XVI.
When Penyedoff had an affair with the mistress of the Duke of Orleans, he happened to be caught by the Duke of Orleans on the spotlight, and then the Marquis was imprisoned in the Bastille.
And Napoleon was no stranger to this handsome and humorous Penyedov.
Because the marquis once even showed his love to Mary in public, but was severely reprimanded by Mary.
"My Lord Marquis.
How did you become like this!
” "Napoleon, it's really you, Napoleon, save me, let these soldiers not shoot" When Penyedov saw Napoleon standing behind these soldiers, he immediately exclaimed, at this moment the marquis was wearing only a linen garment, and he was holding a short log in his hand, and his clothes were full of footprints, plus the shaggy hair and the shoes he wore were full of comical meaning.
"Come on, take this Marquis down and show me well, and I will personally come to torture him later" With that, Napoleon ordered the rest of his soldiers to rush towards the interior of the Bastille.
Although Penyedoff once showed his love to Marie in public, which made Napoleon very unhappy, but in the subsequent relationship, Napoleon found that Penyedoff was not bad in addition to being good and flowery, and his funny words could often make Napoleon feel the charm of laughter, so for Napoleon, who had no friends, Penyedoff was also half a friend.
Later, under the fierce attack of the French army, the improvised prisoners in the Bastille failed, and some of the prisoners were killed, the number of whom was about 300.
After pacifying the situation in the Bastille, the time had entered the first day of August, and at this moment Napoleon seemed to remember his family, he quickly and simply arranged the defense of the Bastille, and made up the original guards of less than 500 to 800 again, and then Napoleon led the 3rd Regiment and the 4th Regiment to march in the direction of his home.
After two days of fighting, which had scarred most of the streets of Paris, and a few wandering mobs and ambitionists with ulterior motives had added fuel to the fire, Marie had realized that if the royal family could not control the situation, the people of the whole of Paris would all rise up against the royal family when they saw the weakness of the royal family.
In the immediate aftermath of the riots, Marie reported the situation to Versailles, but Louis XVI had no choice but to give her the title of full command of Paris.
The First Legion, which had been stationed outside Paris, had been transferred to Paris by Marie, and with the release of the Bastille, the situation in Paris had changed at a turning point, at least some of the original nobles chose to wait and see again.
"Smack" A precious piece of porcelain from the East in the Royal Palace was thrown to the ground by the enraged Duke of Orleans.
"That's thirteen six-pounder guns!
It took me so much effort to get these guns into my hands, and now it's good, it's all for me, and it's good that I've paid so much, so many people can't beat a Bastille!
” The Duke of Orleans looked at Bridgestone, who had luckily picked up a life in front of him, and said angrily, and the green tendons on the back of his hand already showed that the Duke was really angry in his heart.
"His Royal Highness the Duke, this is really not the fault of the Under, originally more than 10,000 of us could have taken the Bastille, but who would have thought that the combat effectiveness of the Jing Bei Regiment was so strong, and a Jing Bei Third Regiment dragged us nearly 6,000 people, which is already the best of our ability, after all, most of us are civilians" Bridgestone's defense did not satisfy the Duke of Orleans, who saw the old duke rush to Bridgestone in three steps, raise his hand and slap Bridgestone in the face "You shit, things have become what they are now, you still dare to quibble in front of me, I tell you, those six-pounder cannons falling into the hands of the royal family will definitely find out the clues, and we will all be killed at that time!"
Weapons such as cannons are engraved with the necessary information on the barrel, such as what year it was minted and what army it joined.
And as long as the cannon falls into the hands of the royal family, the Duke of Orleans believes that with the power of the royal family, that Mary will definitely find any clues, and then the faction of the Duke of Orleans will be in danger.
"How many people do you have now?"
"His Royal Highness the Duke, there are more than a hundred people" Pulis said as he covered his red cheeks, and his answer provoked Orleans' anger again "I gave you more than 300 people, do you know that it is already all my strength in Paris except for my guards, and now you actually reimburse me all of them, I think you want to see God, right?"

This time Bridgestone was obedient, he did not make any response to Orleans's words, but just stood there quietly without moving, and the Duke of Charlt on the side saw this and hurriedly said: "Father, I don't think His Excellency Bridgestone did it on his own initiative, after all, who knows what the situation will turn out of, and now our top priority is to figure out what to do next."
Philippe's words reminded the Duke of Orleans that the current situation had slowly turned against him, with the arrival of all the members of the First Legion, the army that Marie could control in the entire city of Paris reached more than 20,000 people, unless more than 60,000 people joined, otherwise the Duke of Orleans did not believe that the situation in Paris would change dramatically.
If the Bastille had been captured, the appeal of the Bastille men would have affected at least half of the population in Paris, but now the total number of mobs in Paris has not reached 50,000.
What is unacceptable is that after the riots in Paris, the Prince Condé's guards, who were originally guarding around the Duke of Orleans' mansion, did not leave, and they borrowed several mansions around the Duke's mansion to closely monitor the Duke of Orleans's every move, which made the Duke of Orleans resentful and also Canay.
