Section 79 Formal conversation

Brion hastened the march of the cavalry convoy, and at the same time had the men take a path to inform Gribovis to hold the Marquis de Condorcet for the time being, and to arrive at Lyon by noon the next day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

Of course, this speed is not really fast, after all, Brion's guards are all elite cavalry, and the combat speed should be fast. Moreover, the city of Lyon is actually not far from the Duchy of Baden, only a few tens of kilometers, and it takes about half a day for the cavalry to gallop to Lyon.

However, in order not to lose time, Brion set off overnight after gathering the team. Although the cavalry was agile and mobile, it was not easy to march at night. The last thing Brion wants is a senseless sacrifice on the road, which adds up to a terrible loss.

During the night march, Brion had always advocated slowing down, so the most he could do was to reach the borders of the Duchy of Baden. It may be late at night, and Brion will order the party to camp in place for the night in the wilderness. Of course, Brion doesn't need to worry about safety in the wilderness, all of which is arranged by Desai.

After all, the well-trained Predator Guard has never disappointed Brion, and Brion had already felt it at the time of the coup d'Γ©tat in Lyon.

As soon as it was dark the next day, Brion immediately ordered the guards to finish their rest and set off immediately. Even so, his army never heard a word of complaint, all this was his normal life in the military academy, and the way he trained the army after that was still in this way. For soldiers, there is really no comfortable place for you to rest.

After a rapid march, at about ten o'clock in the morning, Brion finally arrived at Lyon, a city under his exclusive jurisdiction. Of course, he also brought Languedotte and MacDonald. MacDonald's Skynet is the equivalent of trying on the innermost layer of body armor for Brion, and Brion's covert defense is no longer able to do without the efficient Skynet agents. As long as MacDonald is there, it is equivalent to taking Skynet with him.

As for Languedot, Brion had guessed a few points before. Brion was very interested in the reunion of old friends, and he was a revolutionary he had never come into contact with. Similarly, Languedot's masterful political tactics have given Briand a taste of sweetness, and Brion is now largely in charge of Languedot's handling of the political headaches.

Anyway, in Brion's eyes, it's all trivial things, except for directional decisions, otherwise Brion basically won't interfere.

Brion's army quickened its pace and had actually reached Lyon in the morning. However, his arrival was kept in complete secrecy, and was not known to the citizens of Lyon, nor to the government or the local army of Adam.

Of course, Brion didn't want many people to know about the talks. First of all, for Brion's identity, associating with a revolutionary like Condorcet would be met with suspicion, and it was still the era of the Bourbons, and Brion really could not help but take Louis XVI's now crumbling authority into account.

Secondly, Brion can be regarded as the old chief of Idaven, and the leader will inevitably welcome and toss when he comes. In Briand's eyes, this is simply a waste of time. If it was a triumphal ceremony, Brion could have considered it, after all, he enjoyed such praise very much.

"Desai, you immediately bring the guards to find Adamin, and he will temporarily relocate the troops. All news of my arrival here is blocked. "As soon as he arrived in the city of Lyon, Brion immediately commanded Desai. To be honest, it would be strange if you brought more than 100 people into the city without being in the limelight, but Adamvin's side was an ideal place to hide and relocate. Besides, Adamin is also a smart man, so he naturally understands what Brion means.

The guards are already dispensable for Brion in the city, Skynet has long been unknown to MacDonald around the city, and even a random passerby on the street is Skynet's agent. Brion simply changed into an ordinary carriage, and this time Gribois, who had already received the news, was also ready, and the arrangements for a meeting between the two sides were already under control.

"Duke, the Marquis of Condorcet has been waiting for a long time. At the door of the mansion, Gribo helped Brion out of the carriage.

"I have basically mastered the details of this person, and it is already noon. Brion looked at the sky.

"Rest assured, I've set up the feast, and we'll be able to eat and talk while the time comes. Gribeovis nodded politely.

Brion didn't delay for long, but walked straight into the Fuchu restaurant. At a rectangular table, Gribois, MacDonald, and Languedott sat down at one time, opposite the unassuming Marquis de Condorcet. As a sign of respect, Brion did not sit in the first place as the host, but chose to sit directly opposite the Marquis de Condorcet.

The meal was already good, it was a classic French food, but the two sides didn't seem to enjoy it, but looked at each other. It's not surprising that the drunkard doesn't mean to drink, both parties have the interests of need, where is there any appetite?

However, although Brion was under great pressure because of the situation at this time, he still moved the fork calmly at this time. Condorcet, however, was so frustrated that he had not been able to find the time to insert the subject, barely touched the dishes, and frowned.

"What's the matter, Marquis Condorcet, aren't you used to eating the food in my house?" Brion easily observed the slight change, calmly put down the dishes, and wiped his mouth.

"No, the dishes are very elaborate and tasty. Condorcet seemed to hear some unhappiness in Brion's words, and hurriedly prevaricated.

In fact, Brion didn't blame him, he also understood Condorcet's mood at this time, and both sides were extremely urgent about their own situation. There is no way to continue such a stalemate, and Brion still decided to take the initiative to break the deadlock first, and it will be beneficial for both parties to take the initiative.

"Marquis Condorcet, I'm sure you only knew me during the Marais rebellion. Perhaps the most profound influence I have had on people is the destruction of the sinful Republic with my own hands. Brion said with a grim look at Condorcet.

In fact, helping Louis XVI and dealing with the Republic of Marais was already the biggest stain on Briand for the revolutionaries. And Brion also has a purpose in bringing up the old things, first of all, to test the other party's attitude with his previous incident of supporting Wang Zheng. At the same time, in this way, you can also put your own history on the table in advance, and at least give yourself the opportunity to deal with it in time.

"I believe that the republican government is not necessarily the one that the French people want, and you should have made the right choice. "Condorcet is very clever to show his attitude, anyway, the Marais government has long been overthrown, and its influence is even less urgent than that of Jacobin now, Condorcet is not much at fault anyway, but can win Briand's favor.

Without waiting for Briand to speak again, Condorcet continued: "History naturally has a reason for his choice, and perhaps a new government will really make France strong. The Bourbons, already 。。。。。 ”

It turned out that the words that Condorcet wanted to emphasize were the last sentence, and this one firmly and implicitly stated his position. For the Bourbons, Condorcet was almost convinced that it was completely hopeless, and as a marquis, such an outcome was indeed quite sad.

Brion snickered in his heart that Condorcet was indeed a Jacobin figure, and that the real theme was about to begin.

"I know the party behind you, the Jacobins. I also seem to be interested in meeting your fabled New Revolutionary Government, a government without a king. Brion smiled and poured himself a little wine: "I think my idea is ridiculous, but I still want to believe it." ”

"Then let's talk about it, I am indeed a Jacobin revolutionary. You mean you're willing to help us in the city of Lyon, and to help us in our revolution here?"

Now that the conversation has been made, Condorcet also feels that it is too much trouble to hide it. Now that Briand had expressed his attitude towards the revolution, Condorcet should have tried his best to win him over.

Brion looked at Condorcet's expectant gaze and nodded, "I'm willing to support your revolution, but 。。。。。。 ”

"Just what?"

"I think since I support your revolution, is it necessary for you to guarantee my vested interest in the city of Lyon?" asked Brion seriously.

Condorcet nodded in agreement: "It's natural. ”

"In this case, I am willing to show my sincerity with a generous benefit. Briand looked at Languedot: "I can consider letting the revolutionaries into the government offices, into the Senate, I can let the revolutionaries expand their influence in the city of Lyon, and even the garrison can tolerate you." But you have to make sure that we and the group are interested. ”

"Really?" Condorcet couldn't believe his ears, but it was still true. If the doors of the local senate are open to revolutionaries, how much power will the Jacobins have.

However, Condorcet may not have imagined that Brion actually had a secret sentence that the number of seats the Revolutionary Party in the Senate was naturally limited by him. This is tantamount to turning all the previous promises into nonsense, and if the door is really open to the revolutionaries without restrictions, then the master of the city of Lyon will not let the Jacobins be sent to do it? Brion will never tolerate such a thing.

Moreover, as long as Brion strictly limits the number of seats, the Jacobins will not be able to play any role in the Senate at all, and will even be at the mercy of Briand. However, Condorcet's mind did not have much room to think about it, and because of this meeting, the Jacobins really had their first negotiations and alliances with him. And Brion also had confidence in the face of the French Revolution for the first time. i1387
