King's Landing in France

Chapter 185 Paris Needs You

On the day of welcoming Balas to Milan, An Ning found that Napoleon happened to be wearing a cuckold.

An Ning couldn't help asking: "Napoleon, why are you wearing such a hat?"

Napoleon smiled and said, "Miss Melody chose it for me, how is it? I quite like it!"

An Ning: "Miss Melody, is that Milan courtesan?"

"Yes, she is the protagonist of all salons and balls!" Napoleon did not dislike An Ning's words at all, but seemed to be boasting, "I wrote a love story for her! I will show it to you when it is finished! "

Here it comes, Napoleon's love story!In the original history, everyone suspected that the heroine of this book was Josephine, the owner of Malmaison Castle. Now I am afraid that this protagonist will become a socialite in Milan.

Josephine is also a social butterfly, and she wore more than one cuckold for Napoleon. Does Napoleon like to associate with promiscuous women?

But in this era, it seems that it is normal for women to cuckold their husbands, especially noble women.

When An Ning read the biography of Napoleon, she always felt that the upper class society of this era was really chaotic.

This is also the reason why An Ning hasn't married a wife after traveling for so long. As a Chinese, he still resists cuckolding.

In the chaotic energy of this era, after marrying a wife, he went out to fight for a few years, and when he came back, his son was full moon.

That's disgusting.

But Napoleon, as a 24-year-old young man, was still full of longing for love, but historically he should have fallen in love with Josephine, the widow of Malmaison Castle.

Napoleon in this time and space has not even been to Paris a few times. He has been fighting with An Ning everywhere since he came back from Corsica. This time he is stationed in Milan. It should be the first time that Napoleon has been stationed in a big city for more than half a year after returning from Corsica. time.

So it is very normal for him to fall in love in Milan.

An Ning looked at Napoleon wearing a green hat with complicated eyes.

The reason why Miss Melody chose a green hat is probably because green is the color of the city emblem of Milan. She used this method to show that Napoleon was courting a Milanese girl.

But in the eyes of the Chinese, An Ning, this green color has far-reaching meanings.

Especially now that Paul Ballas came from Paris, looking at Mr. Ballas and Napoleon's green hat, An Ning felt a kind of karma that transcended time and space.

Ballas got off his horse, strode forward and stretched out his hand to An Ning: "General Frost, you have heard your name for a long time!"

An Ning held Balas's hand: "Hello, it's strange to say that I have also stayed in Paris for a while, but I haven't seen you."

"Because I hadn't joined the Jacobin Club at that time." Ballas replied, "I have been listening to your legend since I entered the club. Mr. Marat, Mr. Robespierre and Mr. Danton are all right. You appreciate it."

An Ning smiled and said, "They are all my old friends now. How are they?"

Barras: "Of course, very good. Mr. Robespierre and Mr. Danton hold high positions in the new parliament, and are limited by the rule that members cannot be re-elected. Although Mr. Mara has no post in the parliament, but He is actively active in the People’s Friend newspaper every day, criticizing the newspapers run by Brissot and others!”

An Ning couldn't help frowning.

After the Jacobins brought people down, they didn't kill the roots. Is this still like the Jacobins?

Sure enough, the current situation is not that dangerous, so the Accordbin faction did not implement the policy of terror as it did in real history.

Barras added: "Mr. Robespierre sent me as a commissioner to persuade you to return to Paris to preside over military work."

An Ning: "I can't go back. You should know that in this war, the Italian army may have to face the army of the Kingdom of Sardinia and the army of Shinra at the same time. The enemy's strength is more than twice that of ours."

As soon as the words fell, La Salle interjected: "We have been fighting more than twice as many enemies, and we have never missed it. We are almost used to it. But if you replace it with someone else, they will definitely not be able to do it."

An Ning nodded: "That's the case, so I can't, I can't leave Milan. I believe Paris will be fine, after all, Paris has far more troops than us."

When An Ning said this, he suddenly thought of one thing. Historically, Paris had a steady stream of soldiers because there was a Lazare Carnot who carried out military reforms in Paris, continuously reorganizing revolutionary citizens into French troops.

Therefore, the French army defeated the enemy by relying on its superiority in strength.Fage's first few victories were all due to the fact that there were too many revolutionary troops.

That's why Lazar Cano got the nickname Victory Organizer.

Now that Lazar Carnot is under An Ning, the area in charge has also been changed to southern France. More specifically, it is the territory of the original Kingdom of Aquitaine and the Grand Duchy of Provence, which is not in the same circle as Paris.

Could it be that Paris is going to play off this time?
No, no, no, no, it's just that there is no Lazarcano, and history will not change so much.

An Ning waved away the worries in his mind, and said firmly to Barras again: "I will not return to Paris, I want to share the fate with my soldiers. I brought them to Italy, and I have the obligation to lead them in Italy. A brilliant victory."

While An Ning said this, Beethoven next to him took a pen to scribble wild notes on the shorthand notebook, and the painter David next to him nodded repeatedly.

The first thing these two people did when they arrived in Milan was to publish a book of words and deeds of General Frost, publicizing the general's Wei Guangzheng to everyone.

An Ning didn't bother to care about it anymore.

After hearing what An Ning said, Ballas suddenly lowered his face and looked at An Ning seriously: "Your Excellency, are you a royalist or a patriot?"

An Ning looked around. At this time, many citizens of Milan were watching General Frost welcome the distinguished guests, so he said, "You go to the house first, and I will tell you about this."

Then An Ning made a gesture of please.

Ballas nodded.

After a while, everyone entered An Ning's study in a mighty manner.

The study room is lit with incense from India, filled with refreshing freshness, and a huge globe occupies the space on the side of the desk.

When An Ning passed the stove, he picked up the tongs and fiddled with the charcoal inside to make the flames rise higher, then he took off his coat and handed it to Fanny, and said to the guests from Paris: "Of course I am a patriot. "

Ballas said solemnly: "However, some gentlemen in Paris seem to think that you are a royalist. After all, you have such a good relationship with the Duke of Orleans, and his daughter is in your army..."

An Ning: "It's just a personal relationship, it doesn't affect my position."

Ballas: "But when I passed by Nice, I saw the black robes and white flags of the Royalist Party everywhere."

An Ning pouted.

Nice is a place where the royalist party is very powerful. It should be said that the royalist party is quite strong in the whole of southern France.

It's just that An Ning's previous actions to suppress the rebellion and divide the land weakened the power of the royal party.

In addition, France is still a kingdom now, so the royal party has not caused any waves.

In real history, the royalist rebellion was launched throughout southern France. It was Paul Barras in front of him who conquered Nice occupied by the royalist party and established the Maritimes of the Republic.

An Ning said solemnly to Paul Barras: "You can rest assured that the royalists in the south will not make waves. The reason why I only asked Lazar Cano to bring 1 people here is because I am worried about changes in the south."

Yes, with Lazar Cano's talent, how could it be possible for such a long time to only organize so few troops. An Ning left a large number of troops in southern France just to suppress the royalist rebellion when necessary.

He leaned forward and questioned Ballas very seriously: "It seems that the situation in Paris is very complicated."

Ballas nodded: "The royal party is about to move, and many people suspect that they intend to use the opportunity of Shinra and Prussia to fight us to restore the royal power. The whole Paris is suspicious of each other.

"Mr. Mallah is advocating the hanging of all royalists, saying that every royalist is a potential traitor, and the royalists are also tit for tat.

"It is conceivable that once you lose on the battlefield, even if it is only a small loss, the whole of Paris will be bloody."

An Ning: "That's why you are so anxious to transfer me back."

Ballas nodded: "You are right, we need your military talents now! Paris needs you!"

An Ning shook his head again and again: "No, if the situation in Paris changes, I will ask Lazar Carnot to send the army he has prepared for a long time to support Paris. But I will not go back, I want to be here, with my soldiers together."
