Chapter 152: Political Show (Subscription to the Third Update)
With the motivation of the temporary event mission, Lin Haoda became completely crazy, and the identification of Sean and the others was abandoned by Lin Haoda, and Lin Haoda stared at the marching map provided by the French government all day long, and marched towards the surrounding countryside with the shortest route!
In order to speed up the task of completing the target of 50,000 people in the temporary event, Lin Haoda even split the French Foreign Legion when passing by the French villages not far away, an infantry regiment was responsible for sweeping and slaughtering a village, and the more mobile hussars were responsible for reconnoitring the situation of the village and ensuring that when the infantry regiment entered the village, it would ensure the blockade of the outer area of the village and prevent the French villagers from fleeing in advance!
With the brutality of the French Foreign Legion, almost all the rural towns and villages in the Paris region learned of Lin Haoda's butcher's 'three-light policy of clearing the wilderness' in order to suppress the peasant rebels, but what disappointed Lin Haoda was that he could no longer wait for the gathering peasant rebels to take the initiative to attack......
The night battle of the defeat of the peasant rebel army was just an inconspicuous small battle of suppression victory in the National Constituent Assembly government of the Kingdom of France, after all, the National Guard had fought head-on with the peasant rebel army before, and it was also more victorious than defeated, and the Marquis Lafayette and others did not think that Lin Haoda annihilated tens of thousands of peasant rebel army There was anything remarkable......
In the eyes of the French upper class, the peasant rebels were just a mob with farm tools and weapons, not even a rebel......
It seems that apart from the large number of people, there is nothing remarkable about the peasant rebel army!
However, the victory of the French Foreign Legion was nothing in the eyes of the French government, but it caused an uproar in the rural councils of the Paris region!
Including logistics relatives, that's a full 30,000 people!
And the choice was a night battle in which the firepower advantage of the regular army could not be fully exerted, and the peasant rebel army at that time even grasped the initiative to attack, beating the French Foreign Legion with a reinforcement time difference!
In the eyes of the other rural committees, the night battle could be said to have all the advantages that the peasant rebels could have, but what was the result?
The one who loses is called a thorough! That's a tragedy!
There are 30,000 people, and it seems that there are less than three digits of people who escaped alive, and even the old nest was cleaned by the French Foreign Legion at one time!
Of course, the French Foreign Legion will never admit the fact that the lair was washed in their blood, and in the official statement, the lair of the peasant rebel army, which contained tens of thousands of people, was dispersed before the officers and soldiers of the French Foreign Legion arrived.

Since the hands and feet of the Fourth Infantry Regiment were very neat, and not a single person was left alive, even the rural committee did not know whether the people in the lair of the peasant rebel army were alive or dead, and it was not possible to judge everyone to be dead because the other party did not continue to support the peasant uprising and revolution after they escaped......
After the French Foreign Legion moved out of Paris to suppress the revolution, many members of the peasant rebels fled for fear of death, and the loosely organized rural committees did not even know the exact number of peasant rebels they had......
In short, the night battle completely crushed the courage of the peasant rebels to fight head-on, and no one would be foolish enough to launch a defeat battle, and it was only natural that the rural councils, seeing the military operations of the French Foreign Legion, had no choice but to take a detour......
As Lin Haoda and others analyzed, the passive attitude of the Rural Committee to avoid war completely discouraged the hearts of the entire peasant rebel army, and many peasant armed forces who had enmity with the French Foreign Legion left the Rural Committee in a fit of anger and gathered a group of like-minded avengers themselves, intending to take revenge on the French Foreign Legion!
It's a pity that these scattered revenge forces, let alone touching the French Foreign Legion, can't even beat the hussar squads patrolling around, and those brainless avengers are often chased and killed by a small group of hussars patrolling outside like a lamb, which Lin Haoda never expected - the hussars have a surprisingly good effect on the scattered mob armed with poor weapons!
Of course, there are not many avengers who are full of blood and squeezes 'wisdom' out of their minds, and most of the detached peasant rebels just disperse and return to their hometowns, and then organize their fellow villagers to defend their villages or towns!
Since the Rural Council fears the iron fist of the French Foreign Legion, we will defend our relatives and our homeland with our lives!
It can be said that in such a situation, although the rural committees have not yet collapsed, they no longer have the power to fear, and the rural committees that were originally formed by the union of several villages and towns have been broken down into independent rural committees that only defend their hometowns.
At this time, the peasant rebels in the Paris region fulfilled a popular saying - the hearts of the people are scattered, and the ranks are not easy to lead.
Lin Haoda's conspiracy can be said to have reached the good time of harvesting fruits at this moment, and the gathered peasant rebels will more or less cause some casualties to the French Foreign Legion, but the rural defenders who have fallen apart can really only be reduced to the 'points' of Lin Haoda's completion of the 50,000 kill target!
On August 1, 1789, Lin Haoda took the rare initiative to invite Meunier and other French government inspectors to observe a battle to "suppress the peasant rebellion".
The energetic Lin Haoda rode on a tall white hairless exclusive war horse, and said to the representatives of Meunier, who was dressed in gentleman's clothes, wearing the sleeve stockings popular in the upper class of French society, and wearing a fancy tricorne hat: "Distinguished gentlemen, you see how rampant the peasant rebel army has become, under the bright and clear world, an ordinary village has erected a horse and a breastwall that can only be used in wartime, and refuses to enter the village of the regular army representing the French government." The hunt for mob militants should be outlawed by the laws of the Kingdom of France. ā
Meunier and the other delegates looked at the scattered wooden stakes erected outside the entrance and exit of the opposite village, the simple 'defense line' built with stones, and the young farmer with a sad face who was only protected by a few shotguns, and scolded Lin Haoda's shameless bottom line in their hearts, and echoed with a smile on their faces: "What His Excellency Lin Haoda said is very correct, the village opposite has been built privately." The act of military defense is a serious violation of the laws and regulations of the French government, and must be severely punished, and I am grateful to His Excellency Lin Haoda to give an order to exterminate this stronghold of the peasant rebel army, and to restore peace to the Kingdom of France. ā
Lin Haoda looked at the gentlemen representing the French government with a smile, and cooperated with himself to say 'nonsense', don't look at the psychology of both sides to understand that this is just an act of resistance by poor French villagers who were frightened by the reputation of the French Foreign Legion to protect themselves, but the procedure that should be followed still has to be followed.
Since these inspection representatives have seen with their own eyes the 'rejection of horses and the breastwork' of the opposite village, these important information must be included in the future report, otherwise, Lin Haoda has the right to appeal!
No matter how rudimentary the defenses of the village opposite, it is enough for the villagers to show a confrontational behavior, and as for why they are resisting the French Foreign Legion, this kind of thing is not the politicians who talk about it, and it makes sense?
As long as the French Foreign Legion and the French government do not tear their faces, this kind of villagers' initiative to confront the 'government army' can reduce the responsibility for Lin Haoda's massacre, if Lin Haoda and the National Constituent Assembly tear their faces and start the French civil war mode, it will naturally be Lin Haoda's reputation to the ground, and all the facts that have been covered up before have been renovated and then heavily blackened to show the French government's just war behavior of eliminating harm for the people!
Before any government starts a war, it has become a regular form of just war, and in the 21st century, this kind of political propaganda show has reached an outrageous level of shame......
In times of war, the righteous side is always the government of its own country, and after the war, the just side always belongs to the victorious country!
As long as Lin Haoda still stands with the French government, no matter how many innocent civilians he kills, the French Foreign Legion's war acts are to promote justice and defend peace!
The uprising was suppressed, which is a matter of course.
After Lin Haoda, Mounier and other representatives had chosen to watch the high ground, the line infantry in charge of the attack attacked the village under the command of the officer!
At this time, this small village has been surrounded by the French Foreign Legion, and the French farmers in the village are resisting in addition to surrendering, and under the glorious record of the French Foreign Legion slaughtering many villages, these French farmers know very well that surrender is equivalent to suicide......
Therefore, even in the face of the blue regular army with flintlock pistols on their shoulders coming in a row, the villagers with only single-digit muskets still stood behind the stone defense line with a desperate face, fighting for the survival of themselves and their families!
The officers of the French Foreign Legion obviously wanted to gain an unscathed battle, and although the line infantry advanced in formation, it was not these line infantry that broke the line defense line at the entrance of the village, but the light infantry team that set off first.
They lined up in loose lines, shot at scattered and inaccurate lead bullets like birds, and within a hundred yards of effective firing range, half-knelt on the ground, aimed at the villagers who dared to open their heads and fire, and pulled the trigger!
This is hundreds of veteran light infantry shooting at villagers with only a few muskets, this is not war at all, but military training to shoot moving targets......
