Chapter 300: The Marquis of Creech


"No, I think Simond, you may have misunderstood, this manor was originally because everyone was grateful to you, so they jointly contributed to you, so you don't have to have any psychological burden at all, and because this manor has no owner for the time being, so it is entrusted to Miss Nia for the time being."

Seeing that although Simmond said no, but his face showed a struggling look, the Duke of Orleans was naturally unwilling to give up such a good opportunity, and saw that he was very sincere in persuading Simmond. ..

As the Duke of Orleans's words landed, Simmond's face was distorted, of course, occasionally, Simmond would also look at Nia who was standing on the side, only to see Nia looking at Simmond stupidly, with some sadness in her eyes.

"Of course, we also know that Lord Simond is high-spirited, so the nominal owner of this manor will be Miss Nia, as long as His Excellency Simond can relax once in a while, it will live up to the wishes of all of us."

"This, well, since the Duke of Orleans is so polite, it is really a disappointment to the kindness of His Excellency the Duke in the next place, then it will be disrespectful in the next place."

As he spoke, Simmond picked up the key on the tray, and just as Simmond picked up the key, Nia first looked at Simmond with disgust, and then said: "Since Lord Simond has accepted it, then I will go to the manor to clean up first, and it will be rude to wait until Your Excellency goes, and please Lord Simond to accept the manor as much as possible, and I will wait for you in the manor".... said.

Nja bowed to Simmond and the Duke of Orleans, and the father and son did not matter, only to see a large area of snow-white skin exposed.

And from the angle from which Simmond was sitting, he saw a snow-white, charming ravine in front of him, and Simmond was a little unsettled.

Seeing Simmond's ghostly eyes, the Duke of Orleans smiled slightly, he knew that his plan had succeeded, as long as Simmond could accept his gift, then he believed that Simmond would become a pawn in his hands sooner or later.

Subsequently.

Symond and Orleans started chatting again, but in the process of chatting, Simmond was not at all distracted.

Seeing this, the Duke of Orleans knew this, and he immediately said: "It's not too early, presumably Miss Nia in the manor has already arranged it.

I won't bother you below.

I'll arrange for a carriage to take you to the estate outside the city later."

Hearing Orleans say this, Simmond's face was overjoyed, and he smiled: "Thank you very much for your kindness, let's take the next step!"

So saying, Simmond stood up, and Orleans stood up with him, and said to his son: "Philip, you send Simond Simond" As he spoke, Orleans turned his gaze back to Simmond's face "Thank you, Your Excellency, Simmond, for taking time out of your busy schedule to come to the Humble House, and please be a guest next time!"

After the Duke of Orleans finished speaking.

Simmond saluted him, and then left the room with Philip leading him out On October 2, 1789, Napoleon and his entourage finally arrived in Dijon.

At this time, the whole of Dijon had become a huge barracks, and in order to achieve the thunderous momentum against the rebels in Lyon, Louis XVI not only ordered the Second Army stationed near Dijon to go to Lyon, but he also sent 10,000 French troops stationed in Nancy to Dijon to join the Second Army.

This, together with the garrisons around Dijon drawn by the Second Army, put down the rebellion in Lyon, and Louis XVI gathered an army of 50,000 men.

Dijon is located in the east of France and was once the capital of the Duchy of Burgundy, although the Duchy of Burgundy has disappeared in history for a series of reasons and its territory has been divided, but because Dijon is adjacent to the Habsburg possessions, France has always maintained a certain number of troops in Burgundy.

The reason for this situation is also that the Duchy of Burgundy was once a vassal of the Holy Roman Emperor, but it was also a vassal of the French king, so the two countries have fought over the ownership of Burgundy in history, and even the current Habsburg kings still retain the titles of Duke of Burgundy and Count of Burgundy.

Having felt Dijon, Napoleon immediately met with the commander of the Second Army, the Marquis de Creech, despite his exhaustion.

Although the Marquis de Creech was mentally prepared, when he met Napoleon, he was still surprised by Napoleon's youth, although Napoleon was already twenty years old, but because of his shorter stature than ordinary people, Napoleon looked at least three or four years younger than his actual age.

Because the Marquis de Creech was stationed in Dijon all the year round, and he did not meet Napoleon in the few short visits to Paris, the Marquis was very familiar with Napoleon's name, but he had no impression of himself.

But even so, Creech was still very interested in Napoleon, and the Marquis had learned a lot from various sources of information about the thrills of Paris, although it could not be said that it was all, but seven or eight times out of ten there were still them.

The Marquis still admired Napoleon's ability to quell the rebellion with the greatest speed and the strongest means in such a complicated situation.

In his heart, the Marquis was not a man who judged people by his appearance, so after meeting Napoleon, the Marquis welcomed Napoleon only slightly surprised "Welcome, Napoleon, I hope that you will be able to show your own abilities in this operation, knowing that the First Brigade is the most combat-ready unit of our Second Army, and I hope that you will live up to the trust placed in you by the French people and His Majesty the King!"

"Your Excellency Creech, I have come here to learn from you, a general like you is a treasure of the entire Kingdom of France, I believe that I will be able to learn the best character of a soldier from you, and at the same time, I will fight for the prosperity of the Kingdom of France!"

Seeing Napoleon's statement, Creech seemed very satisfied.

This time, the royal family asked for help, firstly, because Creech received a letter from his wife, in which his wife said that Napoleon was her younger brother, whom she had already befriended, and she hoped that Napoleon would be able to follow Creech's orders and make a contribution.

Another reason is also Creech's curiosity about Napoleon, a young man can not win a great reputation is naturally not in vain, and Creech is very eager to see if Napoleon is really as magical as the rumors say.
