Joseph shared his thoughts with Kano. Kano thought for a moment and said:

"Joseph, there is no need for a knife like Napoleon's in Italy for the time being. Although the Kingdom of Sardinia had allied themselves with Austria and joined the coalition against us, they only shouted twice - they were separated from us by the Alps. As far as the Italians are concerned, they don't want to be able to climb over the Alps. They weren't Caesar's Romans anymore. As for us, at least recently, we have not been able to call up forces for the fighting in that direction in Italy. But I see what you mean......"

Speaking of this, Cano laughed: "There will be no more exciting heroic poems on the Vendée side. Although it may not be able to settle down in a short period of time, there are at most small rebellions that are as small as gangster fights. There is only trouble, no glory. Well, where do you think I'm going to transfer him? Actually, it's better to transfer him to the north, but those guys in the north haven't had a chance to make any big mistakes lately, and I can't just let Napoleon replace him...... Why don't I transfer Napoleon back to Paris first? Give him the newly formed Fifth Legion...... What do you think? In this way, the promotion of his rank and position was settled. Well, Napoleon could also bring a few of his men to the new legion. ”

To be honest, Joseph didn't really want Napoleon to come back to Paris now. It's not because Cano gave Napoleon a bad position. For Joseph knew that although most of these new legions were recruits, they were politically more reliable than the original ones. Therefore, these troops are the descendants of the National Assembly in its heart. As the commander in chief of such a unit, he will certainly not suffer.

Joseph hesitated because Paris has not been particularly tranquil lately. The struggle between the Jacobins and Brissodians was about to heat up. The Jacobin Club has just expelled Brisso, (Speaking of which, the Jacobin opponents are basically split from the Jacobin Club.) And the Brissotes, too, launched round after round of attacks against the Jacobins. For example, not long ago, they seized on Danton's problem and expelled Danton from the National Salvation Committee.

However, this did not mean that the Brissos took advantage, in fact, they suffered a great loss, because although they pushed for the re-election of the National Salvation Committee and drove out the flawed Danton, they let Robespierre and Saint-Just in.

Obviously, although Dandong is a very skillful guy, because of his own problems, he will pay special attention to leaving a sense of proportion when acting, and he is willing to make certain compromises. But Robespierre and Saint-Just are different.

Robespierre was notoriously incorruptible, and his personal virtues made it difficult for even his enemies to find a place to attack. As for Saint-Just, this young man is another "incorruptible", perhaps not as good as the former in political maneuver, but even more so in terms of courage and firmness. These two people are not as willing to compromise as Danton.

So, no matter how you look at it, the Brissopite guys have done something stupid.

In addition, in order to support the expansion of the army, the revolutionary government intensified the printing of bills, and a large number of young people entered the army, which also caused a lot of social production to be chaotic, the economic situation further deteriorated, and Paris once again experienced a shortage of food.

Joseph knew that of all problems, the problem of food shortages was the most fatal, and that 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 easy to refuse. Carnot was now close to Robespierre, and he was now widely regarded as one of the central figures of the Jacobins. Now that he was going to transfer Napoleon back to the vicinity of Paris and put him in control of a newly formed legion, there were no political considerations for this. If, at this time, he and Napoleon refused this request, it would mean that there was a rift in his alliance with Carnot.

"Anyway, even if something happens, Jacobin will definitely be the victor." When Joseph thought about it, he felt that there was nothing wrong with letting Napoleon come to Paris. Just restrain him and don't let him get into trouble.

"It's still a bit chaotic here in Paris now." Joseph said cautiously, "But if Lazar you think it's okay, then I think it's good." But you know, because of the loss of Angers, a lot of people have a lot of criticism about Napoleon. And Napoleon, you know, is lawless, bold, and likes to make his own decisions......"

Kano laughed: "A lot of people have a lot of criticism about Napoleon? Isn't that the Brissotes? They also talk about it, everyone can see the credit of Napoleon, where can they erase it with a few nonsense? Moreover, the fall of Angers was not Napoleon's problem. The records of the trial of the rebels in the Vendée, as well as the trial of the rebel leader Dracotri, show this, and in fact that some of the men with close ties to the Brissotes did not play a good role in the rebellion of Angers. In addition, the report of the bastard Fouché during the suppression of the Le Mans rebellion also proves this. So you don't have to worry about your brother. Moreover, what about me in Paris, would I watch others bully Napoleon? ”

Now that he had said that, Joseph naturally couldn't say anything more. He then stated that he was very pleased with Carnot's arrangement with Napoleon. Napoleon's whereabouts for some time thereafter were thus determined.

"Lazar, who will replace Napoleon?" Joseph asked.

"Let General Karto be the military commander." Kano said.

"He? Is he capable enough? ”

"Of course, he can't compare with Napoleon, but a lot of people are talking to him, and as long as he plays too many tricks, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. And he was only in charge of military matters. Leave the rest to Foucher. Kano frowned slightly, and it could be seen that he was not particularly satisfied with this appointment. However, judging from this arrangement, I am afraid that even if Joseph does not come over, Cano will transfer Napoleon back.

Just as Joseph had predicted, something went wrong in Paris. Just a week after Napoleon returned to Paris, another uprising broke out in Paris, this time by Marat.

In fact, Marat's uprising was not very well organized and prepared. The National Assembly and the Committee of Public Safety had long since discovered Marat's actions, and even two weeks earlier, Marat had been arrested again and taken before the Revolutionary Court again.

However, there were a large number of Jacobins in the Revolutionary Court, so the judges suddenly remembered the basic principle of "no guilt in doubt", and immediately ruled that the evidence in the case was insufficient and the facts were unclear as they did in the death sentence of others, so the client was acquitted. From arrest to acquittal, it was not even a day's time.

After this incident, Marat's uprising preparations became even more unscrupulous. He has repeatedly accused some of Brisso's collusion with the big businessmen, or the legislators who are themselves big businessmen, to blame for the current economic difficulties.

"It is precisely because these enemies of the people make a fortune that the people's lives are so difficult and the future of the republic is so bleak. If we can't purge the enemy from within, we won't be able to resist the enemy from within! ”

He reminded people not to forget that at the beginning of the war, the enemy army even occupied Verdun, but as soon as the French people captured the traitors hiding in the palace, France immediately ushered in a turnaround and victory on the battlefield.

"So now, as long as we arrest those traitors hiding in the National Assembly, the Republic will be saved!"

Of course, this kind of mouth cannon is also Marat's practice. Marat had also said before that in order for the republic to stand, it was necessary to cut off the heads of 100,000 profiteers in one fell swoop.

However, the next two events changed the situation all at once. The first was the revelation that the arms dealer Espargne, who had close contacts with many parliamentarians, had cut corners to make inferior munitions; The second event was that some Brissoe parliamentarians put forward a motion calling for the cessation of the activities of the Paris Commune.

Of these two things, the first caused widespread outrage; And the second thing made the whole Paris Commune feel threatened. And so the uprising broke out.

The National Guard in Paris was completely on the side of the Commune, and the army, hehe, Napoleon, would it not be possible to bring the army to help the Brissotes? So in the blink of an eye, the National Assembly was surrounded. The men of the Paris Commune set up cannons at the parliament and threatened to shell it. Of course, this is only a threat, because the Jacobins in the parliament are their own people.

In fact, the parliament did not have its own military force, and the people of the Paris Commune could not use artillery at all, and no one could stop them from coming in and arresting them. However, it is said that Robespierre, after consulting with Marat, proposed that the Paris Commune provide the list and evidence of the traitors, and then the order for the arrest of the traitors would be voted on by the Parliament.

So Marat provided the list, as well as the "evidence". He personally read out the accusations and "evidence" in Parliament, and then Parliament began to vote on the accusation.

More than 20 members of parliament accused were key figures of the Brissot faction, including Brissot himself, as well as the Rolands, among others. But in this vote, many of the parliamentarians who were originally part of the Brisso faction turned against each other and voted in favor of the guilt of these parliamentarians. Because they first found out that they were not on the list, and secondly, they were afraid that if they voted against it, their name might appear on the next list.

As a result, under the cannons and bayonets of the Paris Commune, it took just over ten minutes for the parliament to deliver its verdict - they considered that Marat's accusations against these councillors were clear and well-founded. So these two dozen or so parliamentarians were handed over to the "Revolutionary Court". Then the "Revolutionary Tribunal" sentenced the "traitors" to death with the same speed as acquitting Marat, and came up with a real immediate execution.

Marat then went on to say that there was not only one enemy in France.

"That's a little more? Not even a fraction of 100,000. ”

As soon as these words came out, the former Brissotes fled one after another. From then on, the Jacobins truly took control of the National Assembly.

However, Marat did not stay complacent for long, for he was assassinated soon after, as he had done in his original history.

The woman who assassinated Marat was a provincial and a supporter of the Brissotes. Thus, after Marat's death, the Great Reckoning of the entire Brissolites began. If before, only the big leaders of the Brissos had the opportunity to guillotine, at this time, anyone who had supported the Brissos would be accused of treason at any time, and then the Revolutionary Tribunal would have sent the accused to the guillotine with astonishing efficiency. So much so that the residents near Harmony Square (where the guillotine was placed at the time) protested that the smell of blood was too strong to affect their sleep.

Master Lu once said: "The man downstairs is sick to death, and the family in the wall sings on the gramophone; On the other side is to get the kids. There were two people upstairs laughing maniacally; There is also the sound of playing cards. There was a woman on the boat in the river crying for her dead mother. The joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same, I just think they are noisy. "It's very similar to the mentality of the residents near Harmony Square.

Just when the guillotine was working frantically, the core country of the anti-French alliance, the-stirring stick country, finally made another move.

Taking advantage of the republican infighting (the Brissots are also republicans, so in the eyes of the British, the struggle between the Brissodians and the Jacobins is actually republican infighting. opportunities. The British orchestrated a series of betrayals.

This time, they targeted Toulon, France's largest military port in the Mediterranean.

They made contact with some of the royal parties in the port of Toulon. With the support of the British, they quickly launched a rebellion and quickly took control of Toulon.

For some time now, other countries, mainly Austria and Prussia, had been urging Britain, as the de facto ally, to act. But Britain has been shirking it for a variety of reasons. This time, however, as soon as the royal party of Toulon took control of the situation, the British warships sailed into Toulon. And the French Navy, too, lost almost half of its fleet in this rebellion, which can be said to be a heavy loss.

The port of Toulon is not the same as Vendée, it is the best military port in France. The port is well-equipped to support a large number of vessels. If you rely on the capacity of Toulon, you can really support an expeditionary force. Therefore, the fall of this port is indeed a great threat to France.

In addition, the fall of Toulon also meant that France was cut off from North Africa, which was another heavy blow in the face of economic difficulties.
