Fox of France

Chapter 57: , Watch him build tall buildings (1)

Joseph, who knew nothing about the details of history, did not realize how the parade that Aunt Sufi was going to participate in would leave a deep mark in history. He was just surprised. In fact, women who are indifferent actually plan to participate in activities such as demonstrations.

"Aunt Sophie, didn't you say that you are not interested in these things at all?" Before Joseph could speak, Louis spoke first. "Can you not go? If you are not here, Lucien will take everything The housework is pushed to me."

"Ah, my little Master Louis." Aunt Sophie wiped her hands on her apron and said, "You can't go if you don't. If you don't, other people will be unhappy. It's like a little Louis, your friends have a party. , If you invite you, but you don’t go, will they be unhappy too?"

   "But, Aunt Sophie, the gathering of friends is to play together, you are going to demonstrate." Louis continued, "Joseph said it is chaotic and dangerous outside. The town hall is especially chaotic, especially dangerous."

"Don't worry, it's okay." Aunt Sophie touched Louis's head. "Mayor Bayi and Marquis Lafayette are good people, and I'm not at the forefront. If there is anything, I will definitely run. It's fast."

Aunt Sophie doesn’t understand politics, but her simple life wisdom tells her that if everyone goes, but she doesn’t, it will show her in everyone’s eyes at this time and become very conspicuous . At such times, becoming conspicuous always brings various dangers.

   The next day, Aunt Sophie did not come. By the afternoon of the third day, Joseph had already gone home from get off work, and she appeared at the door of Joseph's house, her face full of excitement and exhaustion.

   "I'm sorry, Mr. Bonaparte, I came back late. But I think it should be just time for dinner." Aunt Sophie said.

"Oh, it's nothing." Joseph said while letting Aunt Sophie in. "Nowadays, it is no accident that something unexpected happens. On the contrary, if there is no accident for one thing, then it is. It’s really unexpected. You didn’t come back yesterday. Little Louis was still worried about you. Now you come back without incident. This is better than anything else.”

"Aunt Sophie, Aunt Sophie..." At this time, Louis yelled loudly and ran out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife for cutting bread in his hand. Obviously, as a little brother, he was Oppressed and enslaved by two brothers.

   "Ah, my little Master Louis." Aunt Sophie hurried over and took the breaded knife in Louis's hand. "How about you miss me?"

   "Well," Louis said with wide curious eyes, "I heard people say that you lived in the palace yesterday?"

   "Yes, this morning, I still had a kick in the queen's bed!" Aunt Sophie replied with a boastful tone, and walked to the kitchen.

"Aunt Sophie, tell me, did you see the queen? Is the queen very beautiful? Also, is the queen's bed covered with gold Louis?" Louis pulled Sophie's apron and followed to the kitchen As he walked, he asked.

   "The queen is very beautiful, but there is no golden louis on her bed. She is not a dragon, she likes to sleep on gold coins..."

   When it was time to eat, Aunt Sophie explained her two days in detail, and Joseph knew that such an important thing had happened in these two days.

   The women originally went to the city hall to petition, but when they arrived at the city hall, they were told that the mayor of Bayi was not there, and the Marquis of Lafayette was also very coincidentally not.

Aunt Sophie originally thought that since no one could be found, everyone should go back to each house, but who thought, suddenly someone shouted in the crowd: "Then we will go to Versailles to find the king, he can't just starve us to death like this !"

   Then a lot of people jumped out to support, and then another man named Mayar, who was said to have participated in the attack on the Bastille, stood up and said that he knew how to get to Versailles and he was willing to take everyone to Versailles.

   It is said that a boring scientist did a very boring experiment. He removed some parts of the brain of a fish, and then put it back into the school of fish. This brainless fish would only swim forward desperately, and as a result the entire school of fish was driven by it, and it became the leader of the entire school of fish.

   The crowd is actually very similar to a school of fish in many cases. In many cases, especially in critical moments of chaos and hesitation, it is often not those with profound wisdom that can drive the crowd, but those who act decisively. Even if their actions are brainless and reckless.

   So everyone followed Mayal to Versailles. It takes about four hours to walk from the city hall to Versailles, but the women who are eager to solve the problem of eating still work hard.

   After the women set off for a while, the Mayor of Bayi and the Marquis of Lafayette came to the city hall. The National Revolutionary Army was also quickly gathered, ready to go to Versailles to defend... defend the king or the people-who knows. The Paris Commune (yes, after the Bastille was conquered, the new Paris municipal institution was called the Paris Commune. This is version 1.0 of the Paris Commune. The Paris Commune we are more familiar with is version 2.0.) Two representatives were also sent to follow La Fayette went to Versailles. The instructions they got were: bring the king's family to Paris.

   The women are not moving fast, so before they arrive, the Constituent Assembly meeting in Versailles has already learned of the news. The parliament immediately dispatched its chairman Mounier to meet the king. The king got the news, stopped hunting and returned to Versailles. Mounier asked him to immediately approve the ‘August Decree’ and to remove the Flemish Legion. The king said he needed more consideration.

   The queen persuaded the king to leave Versailles and avoid those "mobs", but the king felt that if only some women came, he would escape from Versailles and would become a laughingstock. At this time, the king did not know that behind those women, the heavily armed National Guard had come to "defend" him.

   In the afternoon, the women arrived at the Palace of Versailles. The king received the women, he behaved very kindly and promised the women that he would guarantee the supplies of Paris. (Of course, the king doesn't have the power to do this. It's just dealing with those women.)

   In fact, this statement also worked. After hearing the king's promise, some women felt that all the problems had been solved, and they even started to turn around and prepare to return to Paris. Of course, more women stayed. But this is not because they saw through the king's tricks, but because they walked for four or five hours and were very tired and needed a rest. If nothing happens, they will all go back with satisfaction tomorrow morning.

   However, around ten o'clock in the evening, the Marquis de Lafayette came to Versailles with representatives of the National Guard and the Paris Commune. Speaking of it, the National Self-Defense Army is slower than the women. But this is normal, because they carry cannons. As for why the cannon was brought, of course it was used to defend the king. At about eleven o'clock that evening, the Marquis de Lafayette brought two representatives to meet the king, and the two representatives bluntly demanded that the king's family move to Paris immediately. Lafayette said that the National Guard is loyal to the king and can fully guarantee the king's safety.

   This request completely exceeded the king's surprise. But after learning that Lafayette had brought a lot of the National Guard, he didn't dare to refuse directly, so he evaded that it was too late and said it tomorrow.

   It is said that someone went to the nearby Flemish Legion that night, but the Flemish Legion remained silent. This shows that such rumors may not be reliable.

   In the early hours of the next morning, the demonstrators who had settled down suddenly clashed with the king's guard. At first, they scolded each other, and then pushed each other, and then suddenly there was a gunshot, and a demonstrator fell over. Then someone shouted: "The guard shot and killed someone!"

   Then the National Self-Defense Army joined in. They quickly disarmed the guard, and then a large number of demonstrators rushed into the palace. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

   The demonstrators rushed into the queen's bedroom, and the queen fled to the king's room for shelter. The demonstrators began to look for the king and queen everywhere. The king took the queen, princes and princesses to hide everywhere.

   Fortunately, at this moment, Lafayette finally reacted. He took the "loyal" National Self-Defense Force to help the guards drove the demonstrators out of the palace and protected the king's family.

   Lafayette, who was "successful in rescuing", once again visited the king and asked the king and queen to go to the balcony to meet the people.

   The king and his wife were forced to agree, and the crowd shouted at the king and his wife on the balcony: "The king is going to Paris!" "The king and his family are going to Paris!"

   Louis XVI's face was earthy, under such pressure, he was forced to agree and the family moved to Paris. Under the command of Lafayette, the crowd shouted together: "Long live the King!" "Long live the Queen!"

   Although Louis XVI was forced to agree to the demands of the demonstrators, he still delayed as much as possible. The king's family didn't leave Versailles until two o'clock in the afternoon and embarked on the road to Paris.

   During this period of time, the Flemish Legion, which has been regarded as a great threat by the people of Paris, has not moved. Of course, this may also be because they did not receive a formal edict from the king.

   In short, from this day on, the king's family fell into the hands of the revolutionary masses and officially became prisoners of the revolution. Although he still wears a crown on his head.

"Okay, that's it, we brought back the bakery owner, the proprietress and the little boss. From now on, we don't have to worry about not being able to buy bread!" Aunt Sophie ended with this sentence. After what she said, in her opinion, all the problems have been solved.
