Chapter 412: The Duke of Orleans' Rebellion


Early the next morning, William sat up with his waist covered and a wry smile on his face, originally in his opinion, three people alone at a time would be enough.

But it turned out that there were only tired cattle, no ploughed land, and as the state entered a good state, in the later stage, William was killed and the army was defeated, which made the dignified King His Majesty even if he did not want to, but could only ask the sky in a sad speechless manner. ..........................................

With Napoleon leading the Second Army to quickly reinforce Calais, although the situation in Calais did not make large-scale progress but finally stabilized, the current rebels can only rely on the Pas-de-Calais to communicate with the outside world, up to 80,000 French troops have surrounded the city of Calais on three sides, even a bird may not be able to fly into Calais now.

But despite the aggressiveness of the French army, the rebels in Calais did not appear particularly alarmed, and their strength lay in the 30,000 British troops in and around Calais.

After King George III received information from Louis XVI to reinforce Calais, the king seemed to be intent on opposing the French, and with the stroke of his pen, nearly 10,000 British soldiers were carried to Calais by the warships of the Royal Navy.

The English were never philanthropists, and George III was clearly not a self-sacrificing king, and the main reason why George III was so generous on the issue of Calais was that His Majesty received requests from certain people.

Of course, the plea of ordinary people will not be taken seriously by George III, the son of God and the supreme lord of the United Kingdom of Great Britain, but if some people can help him to eliminate a thorn in his heart, a huge obstacle in the way of England's world domination, and promise to give him a good reward, then His Majesty George III is still willing to be a good man.

After being transferred by Louis XVI, Simmond led the First Legion, which had only a little more than 10,000 troops, in Paris.

However, as mentioned earlier, more than 10,000 soldiers and horses are all Simmond's henchmen.

At the same time, because the main force of the First Army was withdrawn from Paris, some rats that were originally hidden in the city of Paris arched out again, and the Duke of Orleans was undoubtedly the most powerful rat.

In last year's arrests.

The Club of Brittany, once considered by some to be a spiritual paradise, was closed down by Napoleon, and most of the members of Brittany were arrested.

Napoleon and Queen Marie also had a fierce conflict over the handling of these Breton members, and it turned out that the arms could not reach the thighs, and most of the members of the Breton Club were treated favorably by the royal family, except for those who were the most presumptuous, the most unscrupulous, and the most inconspicuous in the past.

But repaying grievances with virtue is not available at any time and in any place.

For example, for these staunch members of the Brittany Club, the kindness of the royal family will not be accepted by them, on the contrary, after being released from prison, these people still stand on the opposite side of the royal family, and not only that, because they have learned the lessons of the last time.

This time, the former members of the Brittany Club behaved more mysteriously, and their actions became more hidden.

Regardless, these people's attitudes towards the royal family have not changed.

After the First Legion was transferred, Louis XVI recruited 10,000 levies near Paris to supplement the First Legion, because Simmond, the commander of the First Legion, was a general valued by Queen Mary, so Louis XVI was very relieved to hand over this matter to Simmond.

Naturally, Simmond did not disappoint, and the answer he handed in was very satisfying to Louis XVI.

In just three months, Symond had recruited 10,000 soldiers around Paris, and not only that, but according to the officials who inspected the First Legion on behalf of Louis XVI, the soldiers recruited by Symond were very good soldiers, and these soldiers were enough to match the first-class troops of the kingdom from the appearance alone.

Louis XVI only issued a commendation order to Simmond after receiving the report, and then forgot about it, but if Louis XVI had known the origin of these conscripts, his majesty would have been unable to sleep all night.

The reason for this was that most of these new recruits to the First Legion came from the fiefdoms of the Duke of Orlen.

The Duke of Orleans knew his chance had come when he received the news of Louis XVI's expansion, and Louis XVI later entrusted the matter to Simmond to his delight, because it was like a flock of sheep being handed over to a wolf.

Immediately afterwards, the Duke of Orleans ordered the army in his fiefdom, about 5,000 men, to be immediately reduced to pieces and enter the 1st Army in Paris.

In addition to the troops in his fiefdom, the Duke of Orleans used his influence to draw 6,000 men from the Fourth Legion, which was deployed in southwestern France.

The Prince of Condé and the Duke of Orleans, two branches of the lineage have always been the right-hand men of the Bourbon monarchs, and out of trust in the close relatives of the royal family, each monarch of the Bourbon royal family will put some military power in the hands of these close relatives, and the Fourth Army deployed in the southwest of France once belonged to the Duke of Orleans.

Even though the Duke of Orleans has now left the Fourth Legion, it is no joke that the Orleans family has been operating in the army for decades, so under the deployment of the Duke of Orleans, the elite soldiers of the 6,000 Fourth Legion were quickly transferred to Paris.

What the Duke of Orleans wanted to do, his son Duke Charlt knew, Simmond also knew, and even the many descendants who followed the Duke of Orleans knew, but only Louis XVI and Marie and others did not know.

The royal family, including Louis XVI, had not yet seen the Duke of Orleans's wolf ambitions, and even Marie did not care after receiving the news that Simmond and the Duke of Orleans had a very mysterious past.

At this time, the news of the death of Joseph II devastated Marie, the queen fell ill in a rare way, and at the same time the French Prime Minister Necker and others had already left for Vienna and were not in Paris, which gave some careerists a wonderful opportunity.

On April 17, 1790, there was an extraordinary rebellion in Paris, the First Army stationed in Paris under the leadership of Commander Simmond held a rebellion, and after the rebellion, the rebels immediately captured the gates around Paris, and then the First Army completely blocked all access to Paris.

On the afternoon of 17 April, nearly 7,000 armed policemen of the garrison headquarters surrounded in Paris announced their surrender under the leadership of the commander of the garrison command, Count Barzat, while the Duke of Orleans, for the first time since the last rebellion in Paris, left his palace and went to the Bastille in Paris under the guard of his own guard.

In the square in front of the Bastille, the Duke of Orleans denounced Louis XVI's 14 counts, and in his denunciation, Louis XVI almost became Satan's spokesman on earth.

At the same time, the Duke of Orleans openly declared that everyone should give up the delusion of peaceful change of national policy, countless exorbitant taxes, and the royal family's brutal suppression of the rebels became irrefutable evidence of Louis XVI's crimes against humanity.

So against a stubborn and ugly tyrant like Louis XVI, all the French people should be brave enough to stand up and say no!

The Duke of Orleans' speech had an unexpected reaction, and shortly after his speech, gunshots rang out in the Bastille, and then the fortified gates of the Bastille were opened from the inside!

All the prisoners imprisoned in the Bastille were released, and the soldiers of the First Regiment carried the former prisoners with them to carry out a vigorous propaganda campaign throughout Paris.

The desire for freedom in the hearts of the people of Paris was once again stirred up after the bloody suppression, and countless people took to the streets in response to the call of the Duke of Orleans, and after all the royalist fortresses in Paris were conquered, the banner of the Bourbons, which had been erected for hundreds of years, was cut down and replaced by the flag of the Duke of Orleans.

When Louis XVI got the news, it was already the next day, and the king was stunned when he learned the news, and then saw Louis XVI's body trembling a little, obviously this news made Louis XVI frightened.

Then the whole of Versailles was in turmoil with the news of the rebellion in Paris, and the panic at the Palace of Versailles affected Mary, who was sick and when the queen learned the shocking news, the queen was stronger than anyone else.

"Immediately, immediately, immediately bring His Majesty the King, ahem, and say that I will see him immediately!"

Marie, who tried to stand up, felt that her actions were completely delusional, and her mind swelled with a feeling of dizziness, and in such a situation, Marie had to hurriedly order her maid to invite Louis XVI to her side as soon as possible.

Louis XVI, who received news of Mary, hurriedly threw aside the guards and rushed to Marie's bedchamber "Mary, I've looked away, the Duke of Orleans is simply a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised, he....

He's just something like a pig and a dog, and he's betrayed me!

Betrayed the entire Bourbon royal family!

At the sight of Marie, Louis XVI seemed to have found his heart, only to see him fall to Marie's side and begin to curse the Duke of Orleans.

Hearing Louis XVI's complaint, the original impatient expression on Marie's face eased, and after Louis XVI finished complaining, Marie endured her physical discomfort and said calmly: "Your Majesty, it is useless to talk about these things now, and now we need to do one thing, and that is to take Paris back, as the king of France, you must not mess with yourself!"
