Ding Yi's Struggle (30)
Many people died in Paris that night, but Qian Chujiu, as the leader of the pan-French republican organization, was extremely high-spirited. He grew up with the British Duke when he was a teenager, although the British Duke did not take care of him well, and made Qian Chujiu eat, drink, prostitute and gamble and not do his job. But the British Gong, who is very good in archery and marksmanship, still has let Qian Chujiu practice for a while in this regard.
Don't mention shooting arrows, those who have practiced archery know that the job has to be played well, or how hard it has to be played above the average, so this can't be counted on the ninth young master; But in terms of marksmanship, Qian Chujiu also held a wooden gun and hung a kettle, so with a rifle in hand, Qian Chujiu connected five shots, and knocked down the knight about 30 meters away from him on the spot - not to mention that the rifle is so close, and it is even a man and a horse, who can't hit? On the battlefield, it's really not the same thing as the training ground. -- The morale of the republican comrades who immediately followed him rose at once, and there were a company veteran of Xuanmang's company among them, and if the republican organization could not overcome it, rifles and grenadiers went up, and for a time, everything was conquered.
After daybreak, the revolutionary masses surrounded Louis XI's royal palace.
I have to mention a digression: Originally, Ding helped Paris to get the feces outside the city walls to be manure at the beginning, and Louis XI also felt that he had to pay more attention, so the palace is now much cleaner than before, at least not the steps and flower beds are dung. But as soon as the revolutionary masses were so surrounded, the old outlook was immediately restored.
Louis XI looked at the envoys sent into the palace by the revolutionary army, and he was really angry that he could not say more than three sentences, and there were seven or eight grammatical errors. The appeal of the revolutionary army was very simple, that is, to demand that Louis XI immediately leave the palace and surrender. And he was guarded to ensure that he would receive a fair trial.
Otherwise. It was Chi Guoguo's threat: "We will attack the palace!" We have nothing and no fear. Not afraid of sacrifice! We've got our own shroud, and your gallows! ”
As soon as the messenger withdrew, Louis XI smashed the cup on the spot: "Poseidon! You are an unrighteous man! You're a stupid guy! I will never forgive you! ”
Yes, Louis XI, as an excellent politician, could see at a glance that this qiē was behind Ding Yi's forces. Even if the cardinal beside him said to him: "Your Majesty, please be careful, now we have no evidence at all to prove that it was instructed by the saints!" ”
"No evidence is evidence!" Louis XI trembled with anger and said angrily. "Thousands of pistols! Thousands, you must know that in the past few years, France has only gotten 3,000 pistols from Tessie Daming! And it is said that there is also a team that uses the weapons of the regular army of Taixi Daming, acting as the backbone of it! ”
3,000 rifles, which was the fundamental reason why the palace was not captured for the time being, the revolutionary army arrived at the palace after dawn, and launched several charges, and the casualties were relatively large. Xuan Mang's company was reluctant to join the battle to storm the palace. Because it was dawn, they refused to be exposed to the sun. And Qian Chujiu didn't plan to let this company move, because his real purpose was not to kill Louis XI. That's why there are negotiating messengers.
"Apart from Poseidon, who else in this world is behind the scenes!"
Louis XI roared. But after a while, he calmed down. Emissaries were sent to meet the revolutionary army.
"You can hang the king of France, but Anna will bring the army of Tessie Daming. Kill all of you rebels. Now, gentlemen, it is time for you to make a decision. ”
Someone in the revolutionary army shouted: "Do not be afraid of the king's intimidation! "Kill it!" Hang him! ”
But the leader of the Parisian region, the Broken Knight Georges, immediately stopped them: "Stand ahead!" Stand ahead, gentlemen! You will be stormtroopers, and if you do not die in battle, the honor of hanging the king will belong to you, and I don't think anyone will want to share this glory! ”
No one stepped forward, because there were four charges just now, and at least seven or eight hundred people died.
Although the revolutionary army had far more than Louis XI's estimate of 1,000 rifles, but 4,000 rifles, three-quarters of the guns were sent out to engage the defenders of the walls; As for the rest of the personnel, they have not received a little military training behind the dung mountain, and the army guarding the palace that is itself a knight and then learned the method of fighting with the rifle is much worse in combat effectiveness, and cannot rush in at all.
"Comrade George, I'll leave it to you. I have to preside over the insurrection and the aftermath of the insurrection in other areas. Qian Chujiu was in front of the royal palace and handed over command to the leaders of the Paris region, "We took control of about a third of the city walls, captured the Bastille, and about a quarter of the city of Paris. But before I leave Paris, I must state that, as the leader of the pan-French Republic, I still feel that it is right to insist on the strategy of encircling the cities from the countryside. ”
"Even if our insurrection is victorious?" George asked Qian Chujiu.
"Yes, take care, dear George, for the sake of Internachonel."
Qian Chujiu soon left Paris under the escort of Xuanmang's company.
He wasn't going to take Paris in the first place, and it was a show of Tessie's muscles.
And the Paris Commune, which was vigorous and was born many years ahead of schedule, survived only seven days before dying.
Because they could not afford to storm the palace defended by 3,000 muskets, and Georges, the leader of the Paris district, and his close comrades-in-arms were worried about Louis XI's words. Princess Anna may bring Ximing's army to give everyone a reckoning. This led to a split in the republican organization on the Parisian side, with some pointing out that George was capitulationist; But as George, they know deeply that the republican organization does not need Ximing's army to attack at all, as long as Ximing stops blood transfusion, they are afraid that the republican organization will collapse immediately!
The army, loyal to the king, after receiving the order, quickly carried out a counter-encirclement.
The revolutionary army, which was already mostly civilian, was divided internally, and they were quickly routed by Louis XI's army.
To the surprise of many aristocrats, Louis XI did not liquidate the rebellious members of the republican organization in a big way, and of course many of them betrayed the revolution, identified their superiors or subordinates, etc., but Louis XI only threw them into prison and did not hang them.
Among them was the leader of the Paris region of the Republican organization, the Broken Knight Georges.
"These mobs deserve to be punished!" Many aristocrats, especially the rural nobles who brought their own private soldiers to the king, shouted like this, but it was clear that Louis XI, who could be called the "almighty spider", had a much stronger level and vision in politics than these rural nobles.
The King of France vetoed all claims of punishing members of the Republicans: "It's useless, we can't do that, you can't scoop a river dry with a spoon unless you divert it at the source." It goes without saying that he knows very well that the source of the republican organization is in Taixi Daming, that is, in Ding Yi.
For Taixi Daming, the nobles are quite sober, after all, the Ottoman is in front, but they propose to buy Ding Yi's subordinates, divide their ministers, and subvert Taixi Daming.
But Louis XI rejected these opinions, and he sent an emissary to negotiate directly with Ding Yi: "Anna's salary as headmaster is more reasonable if Burgundy's territory is added." He no longer asked Ding Yi to let Anna go back to Paris.
"It's a lesson." Louis XI said to his cronies, "Poseidon is showing his anger." ”
"But as a father, I will not forgive him for his actions, he must pay the price!"
The price, often the marriage of the royal family, the price is the right of inheritance, so Louis XI made a territorial claim to Ding Yi.
"As for assassination or separation, don't mention it, don't you understand? He led the army, from the far east, from land to sea, from sea to land, he went from one victory to another! If you were a soldier, would you like to follow such a commander or be his enemy? ”
"It is said that he ate the same meals as the soldiers, and he used all his money to pay for the wounded and wounded; He erected statues of fallen soldiers in Egypt, but refused to erect them for himself; He had no entertainment, except to play a game called basketball or football, like a soldier...... Do you know what that means? Louis XI asked his men.
His cronies had to reply with a wry smile: "As the Holy See has decreed, he is a saint, as far as Taixi Daming is concerned." ”
"No, you're wrong." Louis XI shook his head and denied the cronies' claims.
"It should be said that in Taixi Daming, among the people and soldiers who follow him, he is a god."
"He is their faith, and they trust him more than their parents."
"Any trick of power, any conspiracy, in front of Poseidon, is vulnerable."
"Unless you are willing to bear his wrath, unless you are sure that you can enter with him on the battlefield. Otherwise, never try to play any conspiracy against him, never do it. ”
"After all, you can kill George, but you can't erase his faith!" Louis XI said helplessly.
So Louis XI's cronies hurriedly said: "So, Poseidon is a blasphemer, and we can hand over George to the Inquisition!" He believed in Poseidon, not in the Triune God! Let the Holy See rule him a heretic! Burn him to death! Yes, Poseidon is also a heretic! Let the whole of Europe be his enemy! ”
The united power of the whole of Europe is terrifying, no matter what the era.
The events of the Crusades are a kind of testimony to this power. (To be continued......)
