Prince Ratmund's actions can be called high-spirited, and after he set an example, the rest of the nobles in the room were naturally embarrassed, but they were not as great as Ratmund did, after all, everyone always put their own interests first, so the rest of the nobles transferred from their own guards to range from a hundred to three hundred troops.
But even this could not help the large number of nobles, so in Rumyantsev's office, an army of more than 3,000 men was raised, and when Teshachev returned in the evening, Rumyantsev found that the harvest was far beyond his imagination.
Originally, according to Rumyantsev's statistics, the total number of private armies of the nobles in Moscow should be more than 40,000, and a large number of nobles, including the Gandalf family, had already contributed their own family funds, and the troops handed over to Rumyantsev in the early stage were as high as nearly 20,000.
And now Tesachev has brought more than 20,000 people, almost 30,000!
You know, this doesn't include the escort forces of the nobles who are deployed on the estates throughout the country.
Therefore, no matter what country they are in, the aristocracy has always been the backbone of the country, and their tentacles have extended to every corner of the country, weaving a network of interests that is enough to cover the entire country.
Although the morale of the private troops of the nobles who were escorted was not high, they were forced to take up arms and fight at the forefront of Moscow under the threat of the Warlords. .........................................
Another rebellion in Paris shook the whole of France, under the deliberate concession of Louis XVI.
The British and the French reached a temporary peace agreement, and Calais would not give Louis XVI any more headaches, at least while the French put down the rebellion in Paris.
But stability in Calais does not mean that the rest of France will be stable.
It can be said that except for the northwest region, where the Bourbon royal family is deeply rooted, the rest of the French territory has produced varying degrees of chaos.
In Marseille, in the southeast, where anti-royal forces have revived, although they did not immediately engage in armed struggle, Marseille officials have repeatedly asked Versailles for reinforcements.
Louis XVI should have been thankful that although Paris had been completely captured by the rebels, the interests of the various forces in the city were not the same.
At the very least, the Duke of Orleans was at odds with those democrats.
Although the strength of the Duke of Orleans in Paris at this moment can be said to be the strongest, this does not mean that he can call on the heroes in Paris, at least a considerable number of people do not agree with the political program put forward by the Duke of Orleans.
This included even the political prisoners whom the Duke of Orleans had rescued from the Bastille.
The political program of the Duke of Orleans was simple, that is, to establish a constitutional monarchy like the British, but unlike the British, it was in the program proposed by the Duke of Orleans.
The rights of the monarch were strengthened.
For the program of the Duke of Orleans.
There are many democrats who oppose it, and there are even some extremists who shout all over Paris: "France no longer needs a king, what this great country needs is not a new monarch, but a complete absence of a monarch!"
” In order to support him with the majority of the people, the Duke of Orleans tried his best to basically use coercion and inducement, but many opponents were very disdainful of his methods.
There was no unanimity among the forces within Paris, despite the fact that the Duke of Orleans had repeatedly proposed a surprise attack on the Palace of Versailles.
But the plan was opposed by the democrats in Paris.
It stands to reason that the Duke of Orleans has soldiers in his hands at this moment.
He could have thrown those democrats aside and ruled Paris by force.
Orleans had not only 10,000 men in Simond's hands to support him, but even his private army and the armed police of Paris, which were later incorporated into him, and the Duke had more than 30,000 men at his disposal.
But let's not forget that the reason why Paris is now completely in the hands of the Duke of Orleans is due to those democrats, at least the political prisoners he rescued from the Bastille have greatly helped the cause of the Duke of Orleans, and it is those people who have used their great fame in the city of Paris to help the Duke of Orleans pacify the royalist forces in the whole of Paris in the shortest possible time.
"Whoa!!"
A delicate teapot was thrown to the ground, and pale blue tea was scattered everywhere, but the initiator of it all did not care, and the face of the initiator was full of rage.
This is the Duke of Orleans.
"Simond, look at those untouchables!
I was kind enough to get them out of the Bastille, but that's how they repay me!
Yesterday the guys even shouted in front of the town hall something like "France no longer needs a king", and I think they are all blinded by lard!
” The furious Orleans didn't even wait for Simmond to speak, and with a snap, another teacup was reimbursed.
"Your Royal Highness, I think it would be better for you to dissipate your anger, and those untouchables, you don't need to be knowledgeable at all, those untouchables have no other ability than demagogy, and it is completely impossible to expect such people to help us overthrow Louis XVI."
"Hmph, what a demagogic ability, the reason why I went to rescue them from the Bastille in the first place was because of their ability, but now these people have become my own henchmen!
What a bunch of goddamn villains."
The last sentence was uttered by the Duke of Orleans in a low voice, and his gritted teeth seemed to be eager to crush all those who had offended him.
"Your Royal Highness, it has been a long time since we occupied Paris, but during this time, our army has not even left the outskirts of Paris, and I am a soldier and I don't want to get too involved in the conspiracy between you and those untouchables!
But I know that the royal counter-insurgency army is now on its way, and this time it is said that the army transferred by Louis XVI is the same as the counter-rebel army sent to Calais before!
I don't want to say anything else, but I need to remind you that if you can't unify the forces in Paris before the arrival of the rebels, or if Paris is still scattered and inactive before the rebels arrive, then please forgive me if there is anything to be sorry for in the future!
” After listening to Orleans' complaints, Symond on the side suddenly spoke, but his words startled Orleans.
"What do you say!
Simmond, you're going against me!
Don't forget, now we are grasshoppers tied to a rope, and even if you take refuge with Louis XVI, you won't end well!

” As he spoke, the Duke of Orleans's face was already bruised, and just thinking about the consequences of Simmond's betrayal of him, the Duke of Orleans's heart was filled with a chill in addition to anger.
But in the face of the Duke of Orleans's accusations and outrage, Simmond didn't seem to pay attention at all, he just sat there with a calm face, but occasionally some trembling fingers revealed that his heart was also very nervous.
Of course, Simmond's nervousness was not directed at Orleans, and Simmond's heart was even full of remorse at this moment.
At the beginning, seeing Orleans energetic, coupled with the fact that Orleans is indeed powerful in Paris, and the strength of the anti-royal party in the city is also very considerable, it is in this situation that Simmond was confused by Orleans' official vows for a while, and he has also received a lot of benefits from Orleans over the years, so he betrayed his benefactor and voted for Orleans.
But now it seems that this is a complete mistake, the Duke of Orleans's plan to capture Louis XVI in Versailles immediately after the capture of Paris was a great success in Simmond's opinion, but what he did not expect was that those anti-royal parties were so short-sighted, and they actually wasted their precious time on the struggle for power in Paris!
Don't these guys know what kind of strength the Bourbon royal family has?
Or do they think that by taking Paris, they can rest easy!
Under the series of blows, Simmond was no longer as excited as he had when he first occupied Paris, and he felt that he was walking towards the grave.
But Simmond was not reconciled, he was not reconciled to die like this and he still had his family!
Although the relationship between Simmond and his wife is not very harmonious, he still loves his children very much, and he does not want his whole family to be settled by the queen because of his own reasons, and then maybe their family will be reunited in hell.
So after thinking about it for several days, Simmond finally made up his mind that if the Duke of Orleans could not unite the opinions of all parties in Paris before the arrival of the counterinsurgency, then he would not mind rebelling again.
As mentioned earlier, the Duke of Orleans had 30,000 men at his disposal, which seemed to be no small number, and with the common people and militia gathered by the democrats using their prestige, the force to defend Paris could have quadrupled.
But Simmond no longer had hope in the abilities of these people, and what great future could a group that could sit back and watch the best time slip in front of them.
Perhaps Simmond rebelled again and would not have survived because his role in the Paris rebellion was too great.
But at least for the sake of his meritorious contribution to the city, according to European tradition, Louis XVI should not have embarrassed his family.
Simmond is no joke, if Orleans is indecisive, and the counterinsurgents promise to preserve the family, then Simmond will really rebel again.
"Your Highness, according to the information we received before, the counterinsurgency army is not a few days away from Paris, if you can't give me an answer in the past two days, then I have the right to choose my own future!"
With that, Simmond picked up the military hat on the table and stuck it on his head and strode out, leaving only the enraged Duke of Orleans to continue to destroy the poor objects in the room!
