Joseph shared his thoughts with Kano. Kano thought for a while and said:
"Joseph, Italy does not need a sharp knife like Napoleon for the time being. Although the Kingdom of Sardinia has formed an alliance with Austria and joined the alliance against us, they just yelled twice-they were separated from us by the Alps. Mountain. As for the Italians, they don’t even want to cross the Alps. They are not the Romans under Caesar. As for us, at least recently, we have not been able to mobilize our forces to fight in the direction of Italy. But. I understand what you mean……"
Speaking of this, Kano laughed: "There are no more exciting heroic poems in Vendée. Although it may not be able to settle down in a short period of time, there are at most only some small-scale gangster fights. The same little rebellion. There is only trouble, no honor. Well, where do you say I transferred him? In fact, it’s better to transfer him to the north, but those guys in the north have not had the chance to commit any big things recently. Wrong, I can't directly let Napoleon replace him... Or, I will transfer Napoleon back to Paris? Give him the newly formed Fifth Army... What do you think? In this way, his rank and promotion It's all solved. Well, Napoleon can also bring some of his subordinates that he finds useful to the new legion."
To be honest, Joseph didn't really want Napoleon to come back to Paris now. This is not because Carnot gave Napoleon a bad position. Because Joseph knew that although most of these newly formed corps were recruits, they were politically more reliable than the original ones. Therefore, these forces are the direct line forces in the mind of the National Assembly. Serving as the chief officer of such a troop will certainly not suffer.
The reason Joseph hesitated is because Paris has not been particularly peaceful recently. The struggle between Jacobin and the Brissotites is about to heat up. The Jacobin club just fired Brissot. (Speaking of speaking, the Jacobin’s opponents are basically split from the Jacobin club.) And the Brissot’s people are also against Jacob. The Bin faction guys launched rounds of offenses. For example, not long ago they seized on Dandong’s problem and expelled Dandong from the National Salvation Committee.
However, this does not mean that the Brissotites took advantage. In fact, they suffered a big loss, because although they promoted the re-election of the National Salvation Committee and drove out Dandong, who was full of loopholes, they But Robespierre and Saint Just let them in.
Obviously, although Dandong is a very skilled guy, because of his own faults, he will pay special attention to keeping his feet in the action and be willing to make a certain compromise. But Robespierre and Saint-Just are different.
Robespierre is notoriously incorruptible. His personal virtues, even his enemies, can hardly find a place to attack. As for Saint Just, this young man is another "incorruptible". Perhaps he is not as good as the former in terms of political skills, but in terms of courage and determination, he even surpasses the former. These two people are not so willing to compromise like Dandong.
So, no matter how you look at it, the Brissotite guy did a stupid thing.
In addition, in order to support the expansion of the army, the revolutionary government has intensified the printing of coupons, and a large number of young people have entered the army. This has also caused a lot of social production chaos, the economic situation has further deteriorated, and Paris once again has food shortages.
Joseph knew that among all the problems, the problem of food shortage was the most terrible problem, and he would almost certainly lead to a revolution. So Joseph did not really want Napoleon to return to Paris at this time. However, Joseph also knew that Kano's suggestion was not very easy to refuse. Kano and Robespierre are now very close, and he is now generally regarded as one of the core figures of the Jacobins. Now he wants to transfer Napoleon back to near Paris and let him control a newly formed legion, which may not be without political considerations. If at this time, he and Napoleon refused this request, it means that there has been a rift in his alliance with Kano.
"Anyway, even if something happens, Jacobin will definitely be the winner." After thinking about it this way, Joseph felt that there is nothing wrong with letting Napoleon come to Paris. Just restrain him and prevent him from causing trouble.
"The Paris side is still a bit messy now." Joseph said very carefully, "but if you think Lazare is fine, then I think it's good. But you know, because of the loss of Angers, many people are right. Napoleon has a lot of criticism. And you know that Napoleon guy is lawless, courageous, and likes to make his own way..."
Cano laughed happily: "A lot of people have a lot of criticism of Napoleon? Isn't it just those guys from Brissot? They just talked about it, everyone can see Napoleon's credit, where is their nonsense? Can it be wiped out? Besides, the fall of Angers is not Napoleon’s problem. The record of the trial of the rebels of Vendée and the record of the trial of the leader of the rebels, Dracotri, all illustrate this point. In fact, in the Angers rebellion, some guys close to the Brissotite did not play a good role. In addition, the report of the Fouché when suppressing the Le Mans rebellion also proved this. So you Don't worry about your brother. Besides, I still have me in Paris. Would I watch others bully Napoleon?"
Now that it's such a thing, Joseph naturally can't say anything. So he said that he was very satisfied with Carnot's arrangement with Napoleon. Napoleon's whereabouts for a period of time afterwards was thus determined.
"Lazar, who should replace Napoleon?" Joseph asked.
"Let General Calto be the chief military officer." Cano said.
"He? Is he capable enough?"
Of course it’s not comparable to Napoleon, but many people are helping him, and as long as he plays too many tricks, it shouldn’t be a big problem. Moreover, he is only responsible for military affairs. For other things, leave it alone. Let Fouché take care of it." Kano frowned slightly, and he could see that he was not particularly satisfied with this appointment. However, from this arrangement, I am afraid that even if Joseph does not find him, Kano will transfer Napoleon back.
As Joseph expected, Paris really went wrong. Just after Napoleon returned to Paris, only a week later, there was another uprising in Paris, which was initiated by Mara.
In fact, Mara’s uprising organization and preparations are not so rigorous. The National Assembly and the Public Security Committee have also discovered various actions by Maratha early on. Even two weeks ago, Maratha was arrested again for this reason and once again sent to the Revolutionary Court.
However, there were a large number of Jacobins in the Revolutionary Court, so the judges suddenly remembered the basic principle of "no guilty", and immediately judged that the case had insufficient evidence and the facts were unclear at the same speed as they sentenced others to death. , So the party was acquitted. From being arrested to acquitted and released, not even a day's time has come.
After this incident, Mara’s preparations for an uprising became more unscrupulous. He constantly accused that some of the Brissots colluded with the big businessmen, or the parliamentarians who were big businessmen themselves, should be responsible for the current economic difficulties.
"It is precisely because these enemies of the people make the country difficult to make money, the people's life is so difficult, and the future of the Republic is so bleak. If we can't eliminate the internal enemies, we can't resist the external enemies!"
He reminded people, don’t forget that at the beginning of the war, the enemy even occupied Verdun, but once the French people captured the traitors hiding in the palace, France immediately ushered in a turning point on the battlefield. victory.
"So now, as long as we catch the traitors who are hiding in the National Assembly, the Republic will be saved!"
Of course, this kind of mouth-fire is also the custom of Marathi. Mara also said before that if the Republic is to stand up, 100,000 profiteers must be cut off in one go.
However, the next two events suddenly changed the situation. The first thing is that the arms dealer Espagne cut corners to make inferior weapons was exposed, and this person has close contacts with many parliamentarians; the second thing is that some Brissot parliamentarians proposed motions and demanded Stop the activities of the Paris Commune.
Of these two things, the first one caused widespread anger; the second one made the entire Paris Commune feel threatened. So the uprising broke out.
The National Guard of Paris was completely on the side of the Commune, and the army, ha ha, would Napoleon bring the army to help the Brissot faction? So in a blink of an eye, the National Assembly was surrounded by groups. The people of the Paris Commune set up cannons at the parliament and threatened to shell the parliament. Of course, this is only a threat, because the Jacobins in the parliament are their own people.
In fact, the parliament does not have its own military power, and the people of the Paris Commune have no use of cannons. No one can stop them from coming in and arresting people. However, it is said that Robespierre, after discussing with Mara, proposed to let the Paris Commune provide the list and evidence of the traitors, and then the parliament voted to approve the arrest of the traitors.
So Mara provided the list and "evidence". He personally read these allegations and "evidence" in the Parliament, and then the Parliament began voting on the allegations.
The more than 20 congressmen accused are the backbone of the Brissots, including Brissot himself, the Roland couple and others. However, in this vote, many members who were also Brissots turned their backs and voted guilty affirmative votes for these members. Because they first find that they are not on the list, and secondly, they worry that if they vote against it, their name might appear on the next list.
As a result, under the cannons and bayonets of the Paris Commune, the parliament made a verdict in just over ten minutes. They believed that the facts of Mara’s allegations against these members were clear and the evidence was sufficient. So these twenty-odd members were handed over to the "revolutionary court." Then the "revolutionary court" sentenced those "traitors" to death at the same speed as Mala was not guilty, and a real immediate execution came.
Then Mara said that the enemies within France are not the only ones.
"Is that a little more? It can't even reach a fraction of 100,000."
As soon as these words were spoken, the original Brissot members were in danger and fled one after another. From then on, the Jacobins truly controlled the National Assembly.
But Mara didn't feel proud for long, because not long after, he was assassinated and killed just like in the original history.
The woman who assassinated Mara was a native of the province and a supporter of the Brissotite. Therefore, after Mara's death, the reconciliation of the entire Brissot faction began. If it was said that only the big bosses of the Brissots had the opportunity to go to the guillotine, by this time anyone who has supported the Brissots would be accused of being a traitor at any time, and then the Revolutionary Court would use astonishing Efficiently send the accused to the guillotine. As a result, residents near Harmony Square (where the guillotine was placed here) protested one after another, and the smell of blood was too heavy to affect their sleep.
Master Lu once said: "A man downstairs is dying of illness, and the family on the wall is singing a phonograph; the opposite is a kid. There are two people upstairs laughing wildly; there are also playing cards. There is a woman on the river boat crying that she died. Mother. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com The sorrows and joys of human beings are not interlinked, I just think they are noisy." It is very similar to the mentality of the residents near Harmony Square.
Just as the guillotine was working frantically, the core country of the anti-French alliance, the dung-shit country, finally made another move.
Taking advantage of the republican infighting (the Brissot faction is also a republican, so in the eyes of the British, the struggle between the Brissot and the Jacobins is actually the republican infighting.). The British planned a series of betrayals.
This time, their goal was to Toulon, the largest French naval port in the Mediterranean.
They got in touch with some royal parties in Toulon. With the support of the British, they quickly launched a rebellion and quickly controlled Toulon.
Since this time, other countries (mainly Austria and Prussia) have been urging the de facto leader Britain to take action. But Britain has been shirking it for various reasons. But this time, after Toulon's royal party took control of the situation, the British warship immediately sailed into Toulon. The French Navy also lost almost half of its fleet in this rebellion, which can be said to have suffered heavy losses.
The Port of Toulon is different from Vendée. It is the best military port in France. The port facilities are complete and can support many ships. If relying on the capacity of Toulon, it can really support an expeditionary army. Therefore, the loss of this port is indeed a huge threat to France.
In addition, the fall of Toulon also means that the ties between France and North Africa have been severed. Now that the economy is difficult, this is another heavy blow.
