On the afternoon of April 1, 1770, two hours had passed since Lawrence's coup d'état.

After Lawrence successfully obtained the legal principles of the Governor from the Parliament, the next thing to do was to restore order in the Doge's Palace, after all, Lawrence did not want to inherit a chaotic Corsica.

For the members of parliament, with the exception of Carlo, Lawrence temporarily placed them under house arrest in the Governor's Palace, despite the fact that they had already made submissions to him.

Because Lawrence also knew that it was the swords in the hands of those patrolmen who really brought the councillors to their knees.

Once they are allowed to leave the Doge's Palace, who knows if they will tear off the pretense of obedience and plot some intrigues while Lawrence has just come to power.

As for Poly, Lawrence also put him under house arrest.

The founder of the Corsican Republic, though he had lost all his power, could still serve as a symbolic mascot for Lawrence to enhance the legitimacy of his successor to the governorship.

However, among these people in the auditorium, the one who gave Lawrence the most headache was William Pitt, who barely said a word from beginning to end.

The former Prime Minister of the Kingdom of England, the Venerable Earl Tatum, could not be forced by force against him alone, unless Corsica was ready for full-scale war with England.

Of course, this does not mean that Lawrence is ready to release Pete directly, after all, this is an extremely valuable hostage.

As a result, Lawrence still placed Pitt in his residence in the Doge's Palace, and put it under strict guard, preparing to turn it into a political bargaining chip in the future.

While order was gradually restored in the Doge's Palace, there was also an uproar in Ajaccio.

Governor Paul resigned, and Lawrence Bonaparte was appointed by Parliament as the new governor.

The news ignited the entire Ajaccio in an instant, and the streets and alleys of the city were full of discussions on this topic.

If Lawrence's patrols hadn't personally announced this fact to the townspeople, no one would have taken this far-fetched news seriously, only that some idiot had suddenly become hysterical.

"Oh my God, Governor Poly would suddenly resign."

"Did you see the announcement posted by those patrolmen that Governor Poly had resigned because of the Hared's business?"

"Alas, this matter of Haled is indeed the fault of Governor Poly, and it is said that just after Haled was thrown out of the Governor's Palace, he was beaten to death in the blink of an eye."

"But it is reasonable that the Governor of Pauly will be succeeded by Lord Bonaparte, who is young but has doubtful abilities."

......

The civilians exchanged their heads in the street, and although they all showed shocked expressions when they heard the news, they did not feel that this was a negative change after thinking about it carefully.

In the eyes of ordinary citizens, with Lawrence's prestige and ability, he would sooner or later take the seat of governor, and now he has only brought this time forward.

Even in the eyes of some young Corsicans, Paulie, who had lived in the palace for a long time, was as unfamiliar to them as a stranger, but Lawrence, who was close to the people, won their support.

Although a small number of citizens questioned Lawrence's qualifications and abilities, for the vast majority of citizens, Lawrence's ascension did not make them pessimistic.

However, not all forces in Ajaccio have welcomed Lawrence's ascension to the throne.

At this moment, the port of Ajaccio, the Reasonable is moored on the pier.

"Well, I don't know what's going on with His Excellency Pete."

In the captain's cabin, Captain Morris was lying bored in his oak chair, looking out the porthole at Ajaccio, quietly waiting for news from His Excellency Pitt.

As long as the treaty is successfully approved by the Corsican Parliament, His Excellency Pete will be able to leave this poor country at last, even if his mission is complete.

"It's weird."

Captain Morris, who had been waiting for a long time, took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was supposed that the council had been over for three hours, and he had not received any news from His Excellency Pete.

"Your Excellency Pete can't be drunk at the banquet, right?"

Scratching his head, Captain Morris got up from his chair in confusion, pushed open the hatch and walked to the deck to breathe.

When the sailors saw Captain Morris coming to the deck, they hurriedly followed the military regulations, immediately stopped their work and saluted Captain Morris, and only continued the matter at hand after receiving Morris's nod and permission.

Captain Morris stretched, leaning on the side of the ship and casually looking down at the dock below.

However, after only a moment's look, the shrewd Captain Morris soon noticed something unusual on the docks.

I saw that the dock workers who were busy working on weekdays did not show a trace of anxiety at the moment.

Even though there were piles of goods waiting to be carried on the docks, they gathered in groups like no one else, standing on the docks and discussing something loudly.

It seems that what they are discussing is much more important than the unfinished business.

Just when Captain Morris was a little puzzled by the strangeness in front of him, he suddenly heard a hurried voice behind him:

"Report! Captain Morris! There seems to be a situation in Ajaccori."

Captain Morris turned his head to see a sailor who had just returned from the docks, standing in place, but his expression was very panicked.

"What's the situation?" Captain Morris asked with a frown, suddenly thinking of His Excellency Pete, who had no news so far, and suddenly a bad premonition rose.

"I just asked the workers on the docks..."

The sailor's face was ugly, and after a brief salute to Captain Morris, he said directly:

"It is said that just now, the governor of Corsica, Pauli, resigned, and was replaced by a man named Lawrence Bonaparte."

"Governor Poly resigns?"

Captain Morris looked at the sailor in front of him in disbelief, confirmed to him that he was not wrong, and then couldn't help but pat himself on the forehead.

To say that Pasqualai Pauli would take the blame and resign, Captain Morris would not believe it.

Poly is only half a step away from the title he dreams of, how could he resign at this critical juncture?!

Captain Morris thought of this, biting his lip tightly, he was already completely sure that this was a sudden coup d'état.

"Fuck!"

Captain Morris suddenly scolded and punched the ship's side.

Whether the treaty between Pitt and Poly was successfully passed, Captain Morris didn't care at all, all he cared about was the safety of His Excellency Pete.

As the highest military officer on this trip to Corsica, he was directly responsible for the personal safety of William Pitt, and if a big man like His Excellency Pitt made a mistake in Corsica, Captain Morris would inevitably not escape the court-martial when he returned home.

Thinking of this, Captain Morris suddenly lost his composure, and his head was quickly planning how to rescue His Excellency Pete:

"Negotiate with that Bonaparte... No way, I, the captain of a ship, are not qualified to negotiate with him on behalf of England at all. Or pay the ransom... No, even if I sell the reasonable number, I can't afford to redeem His Excellency Pete..."

After rejecting several ideas in quick succession, Captain Morris knew that he was left with only one of the most radical plans.

I saw Captain Morris take out the assembly post and put it in his mouth, blowing all the air in his lungs into the whistle with all his might, and suddenly let out a loud and piercing whistle.

All the sailors who heard the whistle hurriedly left their work behind, even the little Nelson, who was a relation, hurriedly came to the upper deck to assemble as fast as they could.

Captain Morris looked at the neatly arranged sailors in front of him with a grim face, and said directly in a loud voice:

"Our beloved Lord Pete, while attending Parliament with Governor Pauly, was attacked by a despicable usurper. Now that His Excellency Pitt's fate is uncertain, it is a great disgrace to the Kingdom of England and to our Royal Navy. Therefore, I command all the sailors to attack the Doge's palace in Ajaccio, search for His Excellency Pete, and wash away our shame with Corsican blood!"
