Chapter 128: The First Town
As soon as Lin Haoda's words fell, a herald cavalry came to Lin Haoda and his party with a small flag, and reported loudly: "Report to the commander, there is a logistics convoy that was attacked by thousands of mobs on the banks of the Seine, the soldiers of the National Guard who were guarding were crushed, and all the materials transported by the convoy were looted by the mob. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Yes, I see."
The repression carried out by the French Foreign Legion was carried out by order of the National Constituent Assembly, and the French government naturally had to help, and logistics and transportation, which did not require physical presence, were contracted by the National Guard.
However, the soldiers in charge of the logistics convoy of the French Foreign Legion said that they belonged to the National Guard, but in fact they were all temporary recruits and full auxiliaries, and only God and his old man knew how much combat effectiveness there was......
The National Self-Defense Force, which can fight, is either used to suppress the front line or to maintain the city's urban defense and law and order, and the National Constituent Assembly naturally cannot arrange for Lin Haoda's French Foreign Legion to escort the logistics convoy, and kindly reminded Lin Haoda that the peasant rebel army often attacks the logistics route is already regarded as the National Constituent Assembly has a 'conscience'.
It's just that Lin Haoda, who was reminded, had no intention of sending his own soldiers to strengthen the strength of the escort logistics route, and he couldn't rely on others if he was robbed by a large number of mobs......
After the herald cavalry left, Lin Haoda turned to Meunier, who had a strange expression, and said, "Look, isn't there a legitimate reason to come?" All this was done by the peasant rebels first, and I hope that the National Constituent Assembly will understand what I am going to do next, and of course, if the National Constituent Assembly is not satisfied, it can send someone else to do the work of suppression. ”
Meunier's face was straight, and he replied indifferently: "Whether it is the National Constituent Assembly or the Marquis de Lafayette, you just need to see the result, as for the process, how can there be immortals in the suppression?" ”
Lin Haoda laughed loudly, raised his horsewhip and shouted: "The order is to go down, and the whole army will turn around and go to the place where our army's logistics convoy was attacked on the Seine River...... The nearest town away! ”
When Meunier heard Lin Haoda's unabashed rampant order, the corners of his mouth opened, and after thinking about it, he finally swallowed what he was going to say, he was just an inspector who ensured that Lin Haoda's French Foreign Legion suppressed the peasant uprising, and he didn't need to be responsible for other things, and Meunier didn't bother to say good things for those mud legs.
The tens of thousands of troops slowly advancing, under Lin Haoda's order, followed by the military music drums that changed the tune of the door, and the golden iris eagle flag that changed direction, the front team changed to the back team, and the back team changed to the direction in which the front team came.
After Lin Haoda led the army out of the city of Paris, he has been advancing at a 'turtle speed' with an unhurried marching speed, which shows that he has been waiting for the peasant rebel army to give him a theoretical basis for letting go of his actions since he left the city!
Obviously, the peasant rebel army is not so brainless and impulsive, so Lin Haoda can only use the second trick to harvest a large number of historical smashing points.
Meunier witnessed the speed of the French Foreign Legion's strict team changes, and Lin Haoda's seemingly ridiculous orders were not questioned by the prestige of the junior generals, and he couldn't help but raise the 'threat' of the French Foreign Legion under Lin Haoda to a level again.
Whether it is the discipline shown by this army, or the unique command of Lin Haoda in this army, it will become a powerful foreign aid on the future political map of France, or a disaster!
However, Lin Haoda's rational personality and attitude made Meunier quite reassured, it is not terrible for the commander of such an army to have ambitions, but it is terrible to be impulsive and impulsive without scruples!
A commander who starts a battle without a word is absolutely intolerable to others!
Lin Haoda's requirements for the French government seem excessive, but they are all above the bottom line of the National Constituent Assembly, which is enough to show the essence of Lin Haoda's seemingly rude but shrewd heart, which is also the basic principle of the Marquis de Lafayette's willingness to cooperate with Lin Haoda.
Lin Haoda's French Foreign Legion returned to the army at a speed that was obviously faster than the speed of the march, and there was even a feeling of impatience, which made Meunier can't help but pray in his heart for the surrounding towns and villages that sheltered the peasant rebels, thousands of mobs could not become the existence of savages, and it was impossible to travel long distances to sneak attack the logistics convoy, and the little supplies in the logistics convoy were not worth the peasant rebels in other places to run so far!
Therefore, as long as you use a little logical reasoning in your brain, you can know that these mobs must come from the surrounding areas of the place where the logistics convoy was attacked, but there are many villages and settlements and even densely populated towns in the surrounding areas, and the population is tens of thousands, and I don't know how Lin Haoda plans to find thousands of peasant rebels from these tens of thousands......
The Seine River, which runs through the Great Plains of France, can be said to be the mother river that gave birth to the Gallic civilization, and the vast fertile land formed by the water of the Seine River has nurtured a large number of French people, and the towns and villages built along the river are like stars dotted on the banks of the Seine, adding a touch of prosperity and popularity.
In the early morning of July 29, Uncle Sean, the sheriff in the town, similar to the later police chief, was woken up by the anxious and brief sound of an alarm bell.
Uncle Sean is not too nervous, since the Paris Revolution, the world has become more and more chaotic, poor tenants and serfs in the countryside have attacked the noble private soldiers with various weapons, and even many young people in the town who have been bewitched by inexplicable thoughts have left the town from time to time with tools to do some 'work' that seemed to be able to go to the gallows.
Fortunately, those illegal rural committees only targeted the rich such as nobles and large landowners, and did not embarrass the civilians in the town too much, and the dozens of small town militia under Uncle Sean were not easy to mess with.
Those mobs are naturally indignant against the aristocratic private soldiers, but they are not very willing to deal with the common people in the small town, who are also commoners, everyone is a poor family, why bother?
The mob is only for the goods and the title deeds, not really to be bandits!
At the very least, the peasant armies, whom the aristocracy disparagedly called mobs, considered themselves fighting for the 'liberal revolution'......
Since the success of the Paris Revolution, the word freedom has become a legitimate basis for all rioters to kill, and I don't know how many innocent people and nobles have died in the name of freedom, and under the glossy façade of 'freedom and equality', there is enough red blood flowing to gather into a river!
I wonder how many people will give their lives for 'freedom and equality' in the future.
