Brion rode a black horse and slowly looked through his binoculars at the city in the distance—a small northern town that was smoking. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Report to the general, the five hundred bandit troops in the south of the city have all been killed by the first division, and a regiment is attacking the city!"

The corners of Brion's mouth raised, and he lowered his binoculars: "Brussels is the last stronghold of the rebels in the north, I think, for the unification of the country, we must take this city today!"

"Understood!" Desai nodded on the side, and galloped to the front of the guard phalanx on a fast horse: "The general needs us!

So, in a thunderous footsteps, a great wall of steel began to move slowly.

On 27 July, just as the whole country was rejoicing in the overthrow of the Marais government, the remnants of the rebels in the northern city of Brussels mutinied and called on the old forces of the Marais government to unite in order to establish a new republican junta. In order to ensure that the situation did not escalate, Brion took it upon himself to temporarily postpone the founding ceremony and led the 1st Division and the Guards to Brussels.

Along the way, the French army encountered no strong military obstruction at all, and began to attack Brussels at a rapid pace in just one day.

Looking at the city that was about to fall in front of him, Brion pursed his lips disdainfully: "It's really self-defeating, and you want to go against us." ”

Indeed, now there are only 2,000 rebels in Brussels, and I don't know if their leader is brain-dead or what, and if you have to touch an egg with a stone, 2,000 soldiers are not enough to give a tooth sacrifice to the 1st Division. Brion was really speechless, if he was the leader, he should have hidden it a long time ago, and it was not too late to do it when he was as strong as Marais when he attacked Paris.

However, in Brion's opinion, this is fine, and it will save the trouble of digging up this time bomb earlier.

After a while, Bernadote went neck and neck with Desai and rushed back to the main camp.

"Well, I don't think you will let me down. Brion confidently looked at the French soldiers as they entered.

Bernadotte saluted: "Yes, these guys really didn't need to fight, we only lost a few dozen soldiers to annihilate the rebels, killed the leader and captured more than 400 enemy soldiers." ”

"As I expected. ”

"And what about the captives?" asked Desai.

"Before, I believed that this group of peasants was ignorant and followed the Malai rebels to do mischief. Now that they know that Marais has been overthrown, they must be made to pay the price!" Brion glanced at the defeated rebel captives: "If it is not severely punished, it will definitely have a great impact on society! Besides, I don't have so much food to feed this group of bad things!"

"Understood!" Desai bowed deeply, turned around and called dozens of guards: "You all load the bullets and aim at these prisoners!"

"Yes!"

"Bang!" After a burst of gunfire, the ground was already completely wet.

Brion walked on red blood disgustingly and led the French army into Brussels. And the hundreds of corpses were buried with the help of the captured strong men.

To tell the truth, Brion actually didn't want to kill these captives, first, such brutality would greatly damage his image in the eyes of the people, and even his cronies would not be able to look directly at this bloody picture, and second, such an approach might lead to some peasant rebellions again.

However, Brion had already spared the peasants who had fought against the French twice, as the saying goes, no more than three. Although they had to destroy the enemy on the battlefield, Brion was kind enough to let them go. However, the most intolerable thing for him is one betrayal after another.

Therefore, Brion simply used the most direct method to kill the chickens and make an example, which would at least deter the hidden rebels.

After marching into Brussels, Brion found that the area had been left in a miasma of smoke and chaos by the rebels. In particular, the government has been completely disbanded by the rebels, and many high-ranking local officials have been brutally killed. The people hated these bandits!

On the eve of the news from Paris, demanding that Briand withdraw his troops back to Paris, Brion began to worry: "This is already a hell on earth, and if it is not rectified, the rebellion will surely rekindle after we are gone!

However, Bernadotte argued: "At present, the king's order is that Briand should return to Paris immediately for the founding ceremony, and that Brussels in the north should be put aside for the time being." If the king is angry, then he will not give us good fruit to eat!"

This put Brion in the original dilemma, if he led his army away, the rebel forces would inevitably reappear, and if it was not rectified in time, the north would once again fall into a situation of rampant rebels. But Louis XVI, the narrow-minded king, may not understand himself.

Brion understood that the fat king's heart was only concerned about his lavish drinking party and dispensable founding ceremony.

After much deliberation, Brion decided to dismiss Louis XVI's orders and began to order a city-wide manhunt for the rebels of the Republic. Then he personally called on the citizens to rebuild the city government, and also found a few loyal officers in the army to form a new government agency.

However, when Desai heard about this, he expressed some dissatisfaction: "Although these men are in the army, they have no wisdom to be magistrates, and the king will certainly not agree!"

However, Brion had already planned: "I don't care at all about the wisdom and efficiency of these people, and I need only the most loyal people to govern in the local government." As for our Louis XVI side, he should understand who helped him put down the national rebellion!"

。。。。。。。。。。。。

After the capture of Paris by Brion, the rebellion was largely quelled throughout the country. Especially after Brion took Brussels, the remnants of the rebels began to dissipate one after another, and there was a great tendency to revive the royal government in the country. But the source of all this is the Rhine army.

On 2 August, upon his return to Paris, Louis XVI sent an edict to all parts of the country, declaring that the government of the "Hundred Days Republic" had been dissolved, and that the royal family members who had fled the country would immediately return to Paris.

Soon, the royal generals such as General Jurdan, Talleyland, and the Minister of Justice Mopp, who had disappeared during the rebellion, also rushed back to Paris. Although they have no face when they come back at this time, who cares about this? According to their ideas, they will share the blessings and the difficulties.

And Queen Mary, who had been hiding in the countryside of southern France, also began to set off for Paris, of course, Brion also specially arranged Skynet to secretly protect her.

At the same time, Brion rushed to Reims and met with General Hohenloch, the peace negotiator sent by the Prussian side, in the hall of the city's municipal government.

Since the French rebellion was resolved by Briand, Prince Ferdinand has become more and more concerned about this powerful role in politics and on the battlefield. In order to show his sincerity and friendly relations with Briand, Ferdinand sent an envoy to France to divide the interests with Briand.

In this way, Prussia would legally gain benefits in France and formally ally itself with France.

Brion and Ferdinand knew this very well, and after the two sides talked about the economic and cultural situation of the two countries, Briand went straight to the topic: "I think General Hohenloch must have come this time because of the recent rebellion in our France." ”

Seeing that the other party acquiesced, Brion no longer detoured: "The credit for successfully quelling the rebellion this time is mostly due to our reliable ally Prussia." Therefore, the generosity of the French must reward our friends heavily!"

When Brion said this, he felt a little uncomfortable. This rebellion in France is obviously Ferdinand's fault, is it credit that they didn't take action?

"Yes, I think you should make all the terms you promised the Prince a reality. Hohenloch said and took out a contract: "To show the sincerity between our two countries, do you say?"

"Of course. Brion took a sip of red wine: "I can call the shots here, as long as what you ask for does not exceed our bottom line." ”

"Refreshing! The Duke is really unusual!" the corners of Hornloch's mouth raised: "Prince Ferdinand said early on that he will try his best to ensure the interests of the Kingdom of France." First, the border army can only be the strength of one division. Second, the Rhine Corps cut one-eighth of its staff. Thirdly, the industrial area of Alsace was assigned to the Kingdom of Prussia. What do you think? That's all we have to ask for. ”

"I fully agree, Saxony and Alsace have given you all of them, and it will be of great help to be able to push the land back to the Rhine line. In return to you, I intend to disarm the 2nd Division of the Rhine Regiment with 20,000 men and leave the Rhine behind, and the other three divisions to retreat to the Jura Mountains. ”

Brion was very satisfied with this treaty, first of all, Prussia returned to France basically all the eastern territories seized in the Franco-Prussian War, and only Alsace was ceded. The French border was back on the Rhine, which would give him a reputation for reclaiming territory in France and keep France as intact as possible.

As for Saxony, it belonged to Germany, and even if Prussia could swallow it all, he would be forced to spit out this big fat under the alliance of the European powers. Brion is not worried about disarmament, after all, the Second Division is the force of General Simon, his opponent in the army, and if it can be disarmed, it will have the effect of greatly weakening its strength.

These are all things that Brion would love to see.

Brion looked at the map of Europe on the side: "Now that the territorial question is more or less clear, I think that your troops stationed east of the Jura Mountains should be withdrawn there." ”

"It is natural, everything that is beneficial to the peace of Europe is our duty in Prussia. Hornloch nodded triumphantly.

On August 3, 1788, without the knowledge of Louis XVI, Brion led his army commanders to sign the Treaty of Reims with Prussian plenipotentiary Hornloch in Reims. This astonishing treaty directly recaptured four-fifths of the land that France had fallen, and once again extended its territory to the Rhine.

At a press conference at the city government, Hohenloch proudly said: "The Franco-Prussian Union has been formed, and there is no longer any threat to our royal government!"

However, Brion was happy and worried about the situation in Paris.
