August 10, 1792 (rì) morning, Tuileries Palace.

Nearly two months have passed since Han Xing last returned from Napoleon's house. On this day, when Han Xing was carrying out his regular patrol (loitering), he suddenly noticed that blue-gray people poured out of the streets and alleys, gathered on the streets, and began to merge into a torrent, and their target was Han Xing's Tuileries Palace.

Han Xing thought that today would be the same uneventful day as the dozens of days of qíng, and the script was to wander around the "big park" of the Tuileries Palace, then go to lunch, then skip work in the afternoon to read a book and chat with Napoleon, maybe go to the little Corsican tavern for a meal together, and finally come back to sleep.

It's a pity that it backfired! What Han Xing didn't know was that this day was the doomed collapse of the French royal power! It was on this day in history that a mob stormed the Tuileries Palace, killing all the Swiss Guards, and Louis XVI had to take his family to the National Assembly to seek refuge. The fall of the Tuileries Palace marked the complete collapse of the French royal power. Louis XVI will be reduced to a commoner! This is not the end, what awaits him next is a career behind bars!

The crowd was as dense as ants, and God knows where they were hiding before! It seemed to be a bamboo shoot after the rain (chūn), and in an instant it formed a terrifying scale, and the end of the crowd was barely visible from the gates of the Tuileries Palace, and everywhere as far as the eye could see, there was a dense crowd of black oppression.

Han Xing faintly heard a voice from the crowd, "Down with the king!" Down with the King! "Pull that fat pig out of his pigsty!" "Send him to the guillotine, he's a traitor! It's a spy for the Germans! "And that Austrian bitch! She's the one who delivers the message to the enemy! ”

When these impoverished, yellow-skinned citizens are united, they become terrible beasts of the flood, and the power of the crowd is terrible, and they have no fear, no reason, no personal thinking, and they become a complete mob.

Han Xing could clearly feel the anger (qíng) coming from the crowd, "It's miserable, it's certain that today's thing (qíng) will definitely not be good!" "I'm afraid it's impossible to try to satisfy the other person by lowering your posture like the last time!

"Quick, go and rule His Majesty!" Han Xing pulled a red-clothed Swiss Guard soldier and ordered him. The soldier immediately grabbed his hat and trotted all the way to Louis XVI's bedchamber.

"Prepare for battle, reload your muskets!" Han Xing pulled out his "broken heart" and shouted to all the Swiss Guard soldiers.

Han Xing himself took out his homemade revolver, pinned it to his belt, and then watched vigilantly at the approaching mob outside. Fortunately, thanks to Han Xing's suggestion, Louis XVI had already sent more Swiss Guards, and now the number of Swiss Guards has recovered to more than 500 people.

But Rao is like this, this number is only enough for thousands of mobs! But perhaps it is a lesson learned from the last "Little Red Riding Hood" incident. Not only was the Swiss Guard guarding the king inside the Tuileries Palace, but there was also a National Guard of more than 1,000 people stationed outside the Tuileries Palace.

However, Han Xing was against this proposal, because Han Xing vaguely remembered that this group of bastards directly turned the muzzle of the cannon in history and helped the mob attack the Tuileries Palace, and in the process of capturing the Tuileries Palace, the cannons of these bastards played a decisive role (xìng)! They are the culprits in history who led to the total destruction of the Swiss Guards! Where is this help, it's just adding to Han Xing's blockage!

Soon, a figure with a wig in the distance ran towards Han Xing with small steps, and when he came to Han Xing, he didn't forget to tidy up his clothes and straighten his wig, and then he gasped and said, "Your Majesty asked me to tell you about the specific situation (qíng)!" Obviously, even in this critical situation, he did not forget to maintain his graceful demeanor,

It's a pity that no matter how hard he tries to make himself look noble and elegant, the beads of sweat on his forehead still betray the essence of his not being good at sports, and these sweats directly wash the white powder on his face, which looks terrible, like a flower-faced cat.

"Mr. Clary, the mob is here again! You see! Mr. Clary, who was already tired and sweating profusely, looked in the direction of Han Xing's finger, and directly collapsed, almost crying: "God! Why won't they let us go? ”

Fortunately, Han Xing reacted quickly, grabbed Mr. Clary like mud, and then said to him: "This mob is not good, you can listen to it yourself!" ”

The shouts of "Down with the king" in the distance can be described as one after another, wave after wave. Mr. Clary's face, which was already white-powdered, immediately turned whiter. He trembled like chaff and grabbed Han Xing's arm as if grasping a life-saving straw and said, "What should I do?" Count Segaard, what to do? ”

"Go and tell His Majesty that the mob has not yet breached the Tuileries Palace, and run away!" Han Xing shook off Mr. Clary's hand without a trace, and then said to him.

At this time, the National Guard began to move, and rows of soldiers in blue and white uniforms began to set up at the entrance of the Tuileries Palace, and dragged out five cannons, aiming them at the mob.

This posture really relieved the people in the palace, and even the Swiss Guards under Han Xing put down the guns in their hands, and most of them exhaled deeply, and even wiped the sweat from their foreheads. Apparently, they are also in a high state of tension.

Mr. Clary, who was so frightened just now that he seemed to turn into liquid, suddenly jumped up from the ground, patted the hem of his gorgeous dress elegantly, and then put on a proud posture and said, "Lieutenant, are you too worried?" With the protection of the National Guard, they can't get in! ”

"Do you remember the last time they 'protected' His Majesty?" Han Xing asked with a sneer. Clery's housekeeper's face immediately froze, these National Guards are really worthy of the word "national", every time something happens, they are on the side of the citizens. It's not so much that they're guards, it's more like jailers!

So the great butler trotted away again with a pale face, and ran towards the room where Louis XVI lived, this time he no longer cared about any grace and elegance, and it was evident that these things were not important at all compared to a small life! So much so that I didn't even know that the wig fell off halfway.

Although the mob was staggering in size, it moved slowly, mostly because there were many of them, old and weak, women and children, and many of these poor Parisian citizens, many of whom were starving, and they had to cut a piece of bread into thin slices and eat one slice at a time, and they had to cut it into 12 slices a day to eat, and a family of three could last for four days!

However, it is obvious that they can't eat like this, so they are almost all vain in their steps, and they look weak, which greatly delays their march.

However, what shocked Han Xing the most was the singing voice in the distance, perhaps to cheer up their side, they actually began to sing "La Marseillaise", the future national anthem of France, which was written during the Revolution. It is precisely because it was first sung by the Marseille volunteers that it was named "Marseillaise". And before that, Han Xing had never heard anyone sing this song in this world!

Han Xing suddenly had a bad premonition, "Could it be that the Marseille Volunteer Army has entered the city of Paris?" Doesn't that mean that Danton's Paris Commune has been formed? ”

As a result, just as Han Xing feared, there were indeed a large number of (shēn) shadows in blue and white military uniforms in the crowd, and they were apparently the main source of the loud "La Marseillaise" singing. The Marseille volunteers have entered Paris!

If Han Xing wasn't sure that today was the fall of the Tuileries Palace, after all, maybe the mob in front of him might just be a "condolence group" that ran to the gate of the Tuileries Palace to make a fuss, brushed the "big boss Louis XVI", and then went back to each house to find their own mother's type.

And now Han Xing can be sure that this unprecedented large-scale mob in front of him is definitely the one that ended the reign of Louis XVI in history!

Suddenly, a tricolor appeared in the crowd, and a group of people on horseback squeezed out of the crowd and headed straight for the entrance of the Tuileries Palace. Even the National Guard has made way for them, presumably they are people with a government background! I look like an elite representative of the third estate, maybe a member of the National Assembly!

The first one wore a wig, was about thirty years old, and wore a plain green woolen robe with an open neckline and a bow tie made of white silk. He dismounted in front of the gate and said to the Swiss guards guarding the gate: "I am Pierre Ludrier, Chief Affairs Officer of the Ministry of the Interior!" Lead the representatives of the various departments to protect the safety of His Majesty the King! ”

"Timely rain! With these government officials, the mob and the National Guard should not dare to do too much, right? Han Xing thought to himself, but he already had doubts in his heart, if the safety of the Tuileries Palace could be guaranteed with the help of these royalists in the government, would it still be the 10th of August (rì) in history?

"Your Excellency, please follow me!" Han Xing hurriedly took the chief affairs officer of the Ministry of the Interior towards the palace (diàn) at Louis XVI (shēn).

At this time, Louis XVI was anxiously observing the situation outside in the hall with his family and a large number of exiled nobles who had been taken in by him. Marie Antoinette was holding his arm in the crook of his right hand while holding a pair of sons and daughters, Prince Louis and Princess Marie Theresa, in her arms, and the whole hall looked at the door with trepidation.

At this time, Monsieur Pierre Ludrell, led by Han Xing, walked in, and he immediately came to Louis XVI and saluted Louis XVI and said, "Your Majesty, I am the chief officer of the Ministry of the Interior, Pierre Ludrell!" Specially lead the representatives of various departments to protect your safety! ”

"Have there been a little more people who are concerned about my safety lately? The commander of the National Guard, Mr. Manda, promised me yesterday that he would send more National Guard troops to the Diàn! Louis XVI was far more calm than the man next to him, he was dressed in a blue gold-rimmed tào, a white bow tie, white tight-fitting trousers, and a wig on his head, and asked calmly while patting his wife on the back to soothe her.

Louis XVI's composure was justified, as he thought that the National Guard in Paris was still in his hands, after all, Lafrenière was the first commander of the National Guard. Although he has now gone to the Rhine to face the Austro-Prussian forces, his successor, Manda, is also a royalist.

"Your Majesty, Commander Manda was killed last night!" Pierre Ludrel whispered, hearing the news, even Louis XVI's face was stunned, although it was not easy to detect, but it was captured by Han Xing.

You know, although Louis XVI was a weak and indecisive man, he had been sitting on this throne for more than ten years! He had long developed the momentum of a superior who was not shocked at every turn, but this news obviously hit him, and even his majestic mask belonging to the king could barely hide the panic in his eyes.

You know, holding the command of the National Guard in Paris is his most important reliance!
