183 Count of Paris
When Meunier saw Lin Haoda's immature 16-year-old boy's cheeks again, he couldn't help but feel a trance, what kind of environment made this only 16-year-old boy so ruthless, and he could always maintain a calm heart?
Looking at Lin Haoda's rise process, this young man who should have been in the rebellious period and has an impulsive personality, but at every critical juncture, he can rationally withdraw his butcher's knife and pull himself back from the edge of hell from which he will never recover.

Whether it was the immediate withdrawal of the National Guard in the face of the weaker side of the city of Paris, or the fact that the National Constituent Assembly of Versailles was sitting quietly in the camp of the French Foreign Legion at the moment and waiting for the National Constituent Assembly of Versailles to take the initiative to send someone to compromise, it all shows that this 16-year-old Asian yellow man has an extraordinary mind!
It's like those veteran old foxes who have lived for decades, who see everything in their eyes and act decisively!
The decisiveness of the young man and the wisdom of the old man have brought Lin Haoda to this point step by step, and Meunier knows very well that although he is here for the interests of the royal family, the biggest beneficiary is the young man in front of him.
Seeing Lin Haoda's calm face at this time, Meunier could already imagine that after today's negotiations, he would definitely rise to become a bright French political star, or a big man with hard power and military power!
Just over two months ago, this 16-year-old Asian yellow boy, who was still an inconspicuous mercenary soldier, has now grown into an existence that has attracted the attention of all classes in the entire French kingdom by taking advantage of the French Revolution.
Even if we don't mention his ability to gather so many troops, just looking at the choices he makes, there is not a single wrong step at the strategic level and political position!
You can say that Lin Haoda is ruthless, you can say that Lin Haoda is murderous, and you can even say that Lin Haoda is extremely shameless, but there is absolutely no reason to say that Lin Haoda is an irrational madman!
Although some of his behaviors are indeed crazy, as long as he stands in Lin Haoda's position and thinks quietly, he can know that his madness is the reason why he gets the most benefits!
From beginning to end, Lin Haoda was very clear about what his goal was, since the Bastille began to hold high the banner of reaction in support of the king, he never tried to restore relations with democratic politicians in vain, at that time Meunier only thought that this was a sign of immaturity of young people, at this time, Mounier had to admit that it was precisely because of Lin Haoda's resolute attitude of always standing by the king's side that he invisibly eliminated the hostile gaze of a large number of old forces and aristocratic classes, so that his enemies were a lot less out of thin air!
For the enemy, Lin Haoda even used his deeds to show a label on his body - any person or force who wants to oppose him will suffer his crazy revenge!
Unless, you can buy Lin Haoda with more benefits.
The Marquis Lafayette, who was against Lin Haoda at the beginning, reached a compromise with Lin Haoda with a greater regression, but the Marquis Lafayette, who offended Lin Haoda for the second time, could no longer satisfy the appetite of the growing Lin Haoda, and the result was the end of defeat and flight.
After this compromise, Lin Haoda's power will reach a new height, and when the time comes, what will be the price and commitment of the people or forces who want to buy him?
It's not that Lin Haoda has stood at the point where he can't be bought, what Meunier is afraid of is that the next force that successfully buys Lin Haoda will give Lin Haoda the benefits that will definitely make Lin Haoda stand at a height that threatens the French regime!
Meunier knows too well that those political careerists have no moral bottom line for the sake of power, and Lin Haoda, who can treat his 'allies' rationally, is still good in terms of credibility so far.
Don't look at Lin Haoda killed a lot of people, but those people are mud legs with no power, and political enemies, at most, they are a little ruthless, so that other forces will think twice before deciding whether to oppose Lin Haoda.
Lin Haoda's first ally, the Marquis de Lafayette, asked him to lead the army to quell the rebellion in the Paris region, Lin Haoda's suppression is definitely the most in France, and he can't find fault with sabotage.
And later broke with the Marquis Lafayette, which was also caused by the Marquis Lafayette for his own ambition to sentence Lin Haoda as a rebel bandit, if you don't look at the moral problem of Lin Haoda's massacre of civilians, on the moral level, you can't find anything wrong with Lin Haoda.
It is already a good reputation to be able to do it without secretly attacking political allies in the context of self-interest.
Compared with the Marquis de Lafayette, who suddenly attacked the democratic patriots in the National Constituent Assembly with a conspiracy, Lin Haoda is simply a model of fairness!
Such a person, who still has such a strong foundation of strength, is too likely to be approached by some careerists who seek to seize the power of France when there is turmoil in the Kingdom of France in the future.
After all, everyone knows that Lin Haoda's Asian yellow skin color is impossible for the French people to be recognized as the person in power, just like the Americans in later generations cannot let a Chinese be president......
Therefore, those political careerists do not need to worry that after cooperation, Lin Haoda will occupy the magpie's nest and seek to seize the supreme power of France, Lin Haoda wants to achieve that status, the first thing to do is to have enough troops to defeat all the French provincial cities, and then use his personal army to completely occupy all the French cities, in order to really sit in that position.
Obviously, for the Kingdom of France, which can easily mobilize millions of troops, it is absolutely impossible for the French Foreign Legion, which has less than 100,000 troops, to reach that level!
After thinking of the infinite 'possibility' of Lin Haoda in the future, Meunier couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and at the same time made up his mind to settle his suspicions with Lin Haoda, no matter what, as long as Lin Haoda did not rebel against himself, it was almost a sure fact that he would become the upper magnate in France, and if he was good friends with Lin Haoda, maybe he would have many ways to retreat when he was down-and-out in the future......
In the political circle, he is not afraid of how dark and unscrupulous this person is, and what he is most afraid of is that he is considered by everyone to be 'useless garbage', which has no use value, and no matter how good the person is, he will be eliminated!
This is the harsh reality.
"Your Excellency Meunier, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, it seems that you have understood the truth of abandoning darkness and turning to light."
Lin Haoda's tone was like a normal chat, but it made Meunier's heart feel tired, of course, he always had a friendly smile like a spring breeze on his face.
"Viscount Lin Haoda said with a smile, I have always been on the side of the sacred royal power of France, and the Marquis de Lafayette is on the side of the king, I naturally support it, but when the Marquis de Lafayette betrays his original concept, I and other king's vassals will naturally not betray our oath of loyalty with the treacherous Marquis Lafayette."
Meunier pointed out his identity as the 'new master' at this time, that is, he hopes to eliminate the political estrangement with Lin Haoda, at least to eliminate the differences between the two sides on the surface, which is the so-called truth that the butt determines the head.
No matter what Lin Haoda was thinking in his heart, he was now holding high the banner of protecting the king and treating the ministers and envoys of the king's lineage, so it would not be too embarrassing.
Meunier's words will undoubtedly make the atmosphere of the next negotiation more harmonious and friendly, and he doesn't want to have any personal grudges with Lin Haoda, who is already sitting down!
Lin Haoda, who has begun to adapt to the political environment in France, how can he not understand the meaning of Mounier's words after hearing them?
On a personal level, Lin Haoda is still a very good person, not at all like the face of the 'cannibal butcher' advertised by the outside world, politeness may not be achieved, but the basic politeness Lin Haoda does is still very good.
In fact, when there is no conflict of interest, Lin Haoda's tone and demeanor are no different from ordinary people.
Coupled with the face of a 16-year-old boy, even made Menier have the illusion of having a long conversation with his precocious junior.
This time, as the spokesman for the compromise between the National Constituent Assembly and Lin Haoda, Meunier held a letter from King Louis XVI in his own hand, and still conveyed the compromise agreement to Lin Haoda on his own initiative.
It can be said that Lin Haoda does not have to pay any price, as long as he is willing to maintain the stability of the French Kingdom, he can get a lot of benefits out of thin air!
For example, King Louis XVI was personally canonized and promoted to the rank of Count of Paris by the National Constituent Assembly.
The name of the French Foreign Legion can be restructured into the Paris Legion, which is not as simple as changing the name, Lin Haoda, who was restructured into the Paris Legion, belongs to the army, and the de jure garrison area is the Paris Region!
In other words, as long as the Kingdom of France is not beaten to the doorstep by foreign enemies, Lin Haoda, the commander of the Paris Legion, can use the excuse of garrisoning the French capital to listen to the announcement without moving!
With the title of Count of Paris and de jure recognition, the National Constituent Assembly wanted to mobilize its troops to use troops elsewhere, but it was not as simple as an order, but it had to be discussed with Lin Haoda!
Because in this negotiation of interests, the Legion of Paris was given a lofty duty to defend the French capital, and in theory, when there was no military threat to the capital region of the Kingdom of France, Lin Haoda could refuse any order from the French government.
From then on, as long as the Kingdom of France existed for a day and Louis XVI did not die suddenly, the Paris legion would have almost complete autonomy!
