Chapter 61: Playing Out a Peace IV (Fifth Update)
It is not a pleasant thing to pass through the blockade of the revolutionary army to meet the leader of the mercenaries, whose name is not even known, and to give orders from the king......
And most importantly, Maria. Queen Antoinette and Louis XVI only gave orders, without promising in the slightest any reward for those who ran errands......
It can be said that delivering letters to the Bastille is a thankless task, and there is no reward for doing it well, and it is a messy head to move......
It's such a job that no one likes to take care of, and the Marquis of Sade, who wants to work hard to climb up, sees his opportunity!
As the saying goes, good people don't live long and suffer for thousands of years, this Marquis of Sade, who has been playing and abusing women all year round, is almost 50 years old, but he is still an old and strong body!
In the 18th century, 50 years old was not a small age, and in the 18th century, the average age of human beings in Europe was no more than 30 years old!
Most of the aristocratic lords are already old by the age of 50, not to mention the commoners who have a worse quality of life......
If it is a rickety and old man, no matter how shrewd he is, he does not have the physical strength to quickly cross the cordon of the revolutionary army!
The Marquis de Sade said that he was a marquis, but it was just a joke, and although his title was retained, there was no shadow of the fief and property......
At the Palace of Versailles, the quality of life of the Marquis de Sade was not as good as that of a court attendant......
It's just the doglegs of some small nobles in the court. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The Marquis de Sade also knew that he would never be able to get ahead in his life, and he would not be able to restore the scenery of the year, anyway, he had nothing, so why not fight once?
As a Bastille mercenary and Maria. The liaison between Queen Antoinette seems to be just an inconspicuous little person, but what if the commander of the future Bastille garrison makes a fortune?
Maybe the commander of the Bastille won't care about his contact who has met before, but the other nobles who want to get in touch with the commander who made a fortune will naturally think of themselves!
After all, in this situation, acting as a liaison, those noble lords can find out their heads as long as they use a little care, and the Marquis of Sade, who is proficient in the rules of the game between nobles, naturally understands the stakes.
However, at this time in the Palace of Versailles, even if the mercenaries of the Bastille were valued, no one thought that the commander of the Bastille garrison would soar into the sky.
The Marquis de Sade actually has no way out, so he will try his luck, even if the hope of this Bastille mercenary commander rising in the future is slim, isn't it still a hope?
Marquis Sade, who had a lot of thoughts in his heart, honestly followed the line infantry with solemn expressions into Lin Haoda's office.
When the Marquis de Sade saw in the Palace of Versailles by Maria. When the commander of the Bastille mercenary who was highly admired by Queen Antoinette was a yellow Asian face, his pupils couldn't help but shrink violently, and he subconsciously swallowed saliva, and a cold sweat flowed on his forehead for some reason!
At this moment, the Marquis de Sade thought of many things that he once dared not imagine!
There is only one source, this Bastille mercenary commander who was valued by the Palace of Versailles turned out to be a yellow Asian man!
He doesn't look down on Asian-yellow people, as a mercenary bad guy who only loves to abuse women, Marquis de Sade only sees the stakes behind it!
Neither the French high society nor the revolutionary government would allow an Asian face to become a major figure in France!
The current commander of the Bastille mercenaries had only two ways in the future, either to lose everything after the revolution was over, or to ......
The Marquis de Sade didn't dare to imagine it, and at the same time felt that it was not very likely, after all, he only had a few thousand troops at his disposal, and the soldiers of these armies were still white!
Although the Marquis de Sade didn't know how this Asian yellow boy in front of him controlled thousands of white regular army mercenaries, he didn't believe that these white mercenaries would follow him and fight against the whole of France!
When Lin Haoda raised his head, the Marquis de Sade quickly put away the horror in his eyes, and saluted Lin Haoda with the ancient etiquette of the lower nobles: "Your Excellency the General, I have been entrusted by King Louis XVI to come to deliver the will and sincerity of the Palace of Versailles. ā
After speaking, Marquis Sade handed over the paper tube document with unscrupulous hands, but Marquis Sade was unexpectedly stopped by a figure, it was a very beautiful Asian beauty, Marquis Sade, who had not played much with Oriental beauties, couldn't help but look at it twice, but after noticing the cold color in the other party's eyes, he hurriedly lowered his head and withdrew his somewhat offensive eyes, and handed the document to the Oriental beauty without daring to raise his head.
Lin Haoda didn't care about Marquis Sade's gaze, for whoever saw Zhaoyun's beautiful appearance for the first time, it was a normal physiological reaction for a man to lose his mind for a short time, and he wouldn't lack a piece of meat at a glance, if Lin Haoda didn't even have this bearing, he would have grown so old in vain......
The performance of the bearded old white man in front of him was quite respectful, so Lin Haoda had no intention of making trouble with him, of course, the most important thing is that Lin Haoda was very keen on taking the line of Versailles!
It is rare for the other party to take the initiative to contact, and Lin Haoda naturally wants to express his goodwill.
Although the letter was stamped with the seal of King Louis XVI, it was drafted by Maria. Queen Antoinette, which exaggerated the glorious victory and achievement of the Bastille defense commanded by Lin Haoda, and the words of commendation were smashed in Lin Haoda's mind without money......
After a lot of gorgeous but meaningless 'rhetoric', the real intention of cooperation was expressed.
Louis XVI and Maria. Queen Antoinette hoped that on the morning of the 17th, the Bastille garrison led by Lin Haoda would launch an attack on the Paris City Hall to cooperate with the mercenaries of the 20,000 kings on the periphery.
Of course, Maria, who has no concept of military warfare. Queen Antoinette did not take into account the attacks on the way of the 20,000 mercenaries......
In the eyes of most people in Versailles, how could a revolutionary army that could not even defeat a Bastille fortress have the courage to send troops to fight against the king's army composed of 20,000 veterans?
As Lafayette guessed, the vast majority of rational people believed that the best way for the newly defeated revolutionary army to deal with it was to rely on the barricades of the city of Paris to resist!
