Chapter 92, Mutiny (3)

In fact, Bloomville also knows the importance of middle and junior officers in an army. However, his mission was not to command the army, but to bring the traitor Di Mourière back to Paris to face the trial of the people. If Di Mourière was allowed to escape like this, it would mean that his mission had failed, in any case. Although he didn't have a strange watch in his hand, and there was no voice that no one else could hear, he would have to deduct how many points if the mission failed, and if the points were insufficient, he would directly erase or something. But in fact, the consequences of mission failure may not be much different from this.

However, the short major in front of him now didn't seem to care too much about catching the traitor Di Mourière, and judging from his words, he seemed to care more about the safety of the middle and low-level officers who were tied up. Bloomville knew that the short officer's considerations were more in the interests of France as a whole. But even if you have to take care of the big picture, it should be up to him Bolonville to take care of the big picture. A small major, who ran out to take care of the overall situation, did not take himself as a commissioner in his eyes. So although it was the dwarf officer who had rescued himself with his soldiers not long ago, any trace of gratitude to him from Beaulongville was almost swept away in such an instant, and he even felt that the dwarf man was not committed enough to the revolution. At the same time, he also came up with a very nice adjective for this kind of behavior of his own, called "iron-faced selfless".

However, even if Bollonville wants to be "iron-faced and selfless", he does not have the capital to be "iron-faced and selfless" at this time. Because the soldiers around him were also not firm in the revolution, they did not stand on their side representing Paris, but on the side of the dwarf surnamed Bonaparte.

The traitor's messenger walked back, and the traitors were there for a while. Then the messenger returned.

"The general agrees with your suggestion." "But he also has some requests. ”

"Say it." Napoleon said.

"The general asks all your ambushes to come out. so that we may be sure that you are not in ambush ahead. "Also, the general does not agree to give you the Duke of Chartres as a hostage, but he proposes to take him hostage. ”

Napoleon pondered for a moment and replied: "I can call out all the ambushes, but Di Mourière must come to me first, after all, Di Mourière should also know that we have no advantage in numbers." If there is no advantage of ambushes, it will be very disadvantageous for us if you rush directly at us. Well, you can bring my words to Di Mourieux, this is the last condition, and if he agrees, let him come himself. If he does not agree, then solve the problem with cannons and bayonets. ”

Hankson immediately turned back again. He had to save time, maybe the pursuers would soon arrive.

After a while, Hankson and Dumourier came over, and when they reached Napoleon's soldiers, Napoleon called out all the soldiers who were lying in ambush nearby, and after they had released half of the hostages, he got out of the way. The rebels quickly cleared the ambush circle and then stopped, ready for the second stage of the hostage exchange.

"We can't let this traitor go!" "We should send this traitor back to Paris and hang him on a lamppole!" ”

"There will be a lot of people who will die for me." Dumourieh.

"They died for the revolution, and the motherland will remember them." Bloomville said.

"No," Napoleon began, "they are our brothers, and we must not abandon them at any time." ”

Then he glanced at Dumourier again and said: "The life of 10,000 traitors is not as good as that of a soldier loyal to the revolution." ”

"Major Bonaparte, obey orders!" Bolonville shouted.

"Sir, I will not be able to obey your orders until I have a valid document proving your identity." Napoleon glanced at the commissioner and said unhurriedly.

When Botlonville and the others were rescued, their identification was not on them, so Napoleon used this as an excuse to reject him.

"Good, good!" Bloomville's face turned pale.

"Hahahaha!" Dumourier laughed, pointing at Napoleon and then at Botlonville: "Bonaparte, have you ever thought that you could save such a thing with all your might?" That's what you're fighting for? ”

Then he said with a dignified face: "Bonaparte, you are from a noble background, you are so talented, why do you want to mix with such a thing?" Come with us, with your brother's talent, you will surely become a big man. ”

His words were quite sincere, as if he did not blame the Bonaparte brothers for his great affairs. Of course, Napoleon would not believe these nonsense words of his. This kind of guy who sounds good, and immediately changes his face as soon as he turns his back, Napoleon has not seen it uncommonly.

"We are all fighting for revolutionary ideals." Napoleon said, "Even if we have disputes and different opinions, it is for the sake of France, and we will not betray the French motherland." ”

Nowadays, Napoleon's ability to speak nonsense with his eyes open has also grown a lot, at least he is still very fluent when he says the words "French fatherland" now.

"The French motherland?" Di Mourier looked at Napoleon with mocking eyes, "You are a Corsican, your father was even a rebel, and you actually told me that you love France?" ”

"Corsica is an inalienable territory of France since ancient times, and every Corsican is a citizen of the French Republic. All have the sacred obligation to safeguard the reunification of the motherland. Napoleon did not hesitate to say this.

"Bonaparte, you will succeed!" Di Mourieux finally said.

The subsequent exchange of hostages also went well. Bollonville wanted to sabotage it, but he was ignored by almost everyone. Of course, this also made him hate Napoleon who saved him, even more than Di Mourier.

By quelling the rebellion, Joseph and Napoleon gained control of the army, at least temporarily. Several of the commissioners who failed to complete their mission were in a hurry after confirming their identities (Di Mourieux left in a hurry and did not take their letters of introduction with him. But he didn't get the command of the company. As a matter of fact, knowing almost nothing about the affairs of the army, and Joseph threatening them that after the defection of Dumourière, the Austrians would know the truth of our army, and that they would probably attack us in a very short time, and that our army would face a fierce battle, and that the commissioners hoped to return to Paris before a new round of defeat. Of course, they don't say that. Their reason, of course, was: "We must quickly inform Paris of the grave situation here, so that they may be ready to support you at once." In addition, because of the destruction of that damned traitor, you are in dire need of all kinds of military supplies, which must be reported to the National Assembly immediately. ”

So, the commissioner quickly left.

Of course, these commissioners don't have anything to take back and hand over. Because he was in such a hurry, the Duke of Chartres forgot an important letter in the barracks. This letter is the letter written by Philip Equality to his son. The letter was soon discovered, and now it is the most important takeaway for the commissioners. They were not able to bring back the traitor Di Mourière, but at least they succeeded in finding another traitor who had mixed in with the revolutionary ranks, which is a credit anyway, right?

The Duke of Chartres fled into the Austrian barracks in a state of panic, and stayed there for the time being, with whom General Collble had much to know. They stayed with General Korble for three full days before they were able to leave the barracks. The Duke of Chartres knew that the exiled royal party probably hated him no less than he hated those "traitors". So he didn't intend to stay in Austria, where there were kings everywhere, but prepared to leave for England. It was on this day that he realized that he seemed to have lost the letter his father had given him in the French barracks! By this time, the commissioners had returned to Paris, reported to the National Assembly about the rebellion of Di Mourière, and presented evidence in public that the Duke of Orleans had participated in the rebellion and tried to overthrow the republic and restore the monarchy.

The Duke of Orleans, after writing that letter to his son, also made some preparations for the escape, preparing to flee if things failed. But because he was not alerted before, he was caught off guard and even met in the parliament. As a result, he was arrested at the scene.

Timourrières was originally a member of the Brisso, and was once one of the leaders of the Brisso, and when he became a traitor, the Montagnard faction naturally opened fire and launched an attack on the Brisso. Naturally, the Brissos wanted to fight back, and their way of counterattacking was naturally to catch the Duke of Orleans on the side of the Mountain faction, and the Mountain faction also produced traitors. So in Parliament, the deputies of both factions attacked each other, calling each other traitors to the republic.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Danton once again proposed the Revolutionary Court and the National Salvation Committee. This time, the Brissotes no longer dared to obstruct the bill, because at this time, to oppose such a bill would be to confirm the accusations of their opponents that they were traitors to the Republic. Thus the most important organ of the French Revolution, the National Salvation Committee, was established, and it quickly became the real core of power in the French Republic.

Dandong naturally entered this committee, and the military is naturally indispensable for national salvation, so Kano was also elected to the National Salvation Committee and became a member of the committee in charge of the military.

The Revolutionary Court was quickly put into operation, and the guillotine was erected again, this time cutting off Philip Equality's head.
