Fox of France

Almost simultaneously with the departure of the English and Spaniards, Davout had also entered Toulon with his army. Davout originally thought that those traitors might resist, but when he entered the city, the whole city took the initiative to guide him. These people all claimed that they were republicans loyal to the revolution, and they had long been looking forward to Master Wang—ah, no, the army of the Republic came to suppress the rebels. However, Davout did not trust these uninvited leading parties. Who knows if they also welcomed the invading troops from Britain and Spain in the same way?

But these matters are not under Davout's control. Davout only needs to control the key points of Toulon. As for the pursuit of traitors and the suppression of counter-revolutionaries, it is natural that the special commissioner sent by Paris will be responsible. As for what the commissioner would do with them, Davout didn't care.

Napoleon didn't care about the outcome of these Toulonians. Now that the battle is over, he is now focusing on finding other family members. Lucien, Paulina, and Elise are all safe and sound, but the other The condition of one boat is unknown. Napoleon then sent out a large number of cavalry to search for their traces, and the reason, of course, was to hunt down the fleeing traitors.

A day later, Napoleon got word that the rest of his family had been found. Chrysler and them also landed near Toulon, and they even landed at about the same time. But Chrysler accurately judged that his position was very dangerous, so he took them back on the ship and walked eastward for another day before re-landing. After landing, he first sent people to contact the nearby French army. After confirming that Toulon was no longer in danger, he took Letizia, Jerome, and Carolina to Toulon, so he successfully and Napoleon They will make up.

After learning about their experience, Napoleon appreciated the prudence of Chrysler Battalion Commander, and then he couldn't help but think of Lucien's rash behavior, and sighed: "Joseph is indeed wise, Lucien This guy is an unreliable thief!"

However, he can no longer chase after Lucien with a whip, because he must speak with Lucien on this matter.

"Lucien, don't let Joseph know about your affairs." Napoleon frowned. He didn't want to be chased by Joseph because of this incident after he went back. Well, considering that Joseph is giving him more and more face now, and this incident has not produced any truly unmanageable consequences, and the main responsibility for this incident is not his own, probably...maybe...should not be taken by Joseph. Chasing himself with a whip, just like chasing Lucien with a whip. But even if this is the case, he will definitely sarcastically sarcasm himself, ridiculing himself to the brim, and lowering his reliability by tens of percent in his heart. If so... "That's too embarrassing!"

"As long as you don't say it, I'm not itchy anymore. How could I say it?" Lucien said, "Although Joseph is not as barbaric as you, if he finds out about it..."

Speaking of this, Lucien suddenly remembered Joseph's pile of math problems, and couldn't help shivering.

"There's also Polina and Elise, they can't let it go! Otherwise..." Lucien hurriedly said.

"Polina got into trouble by herself, so she probably won't say it... As for Elise, let's talk to her, she probably won't..." Napoleon sat across a high-backed chair, resting his chin on the chair He frowned on his back.

"That's hard to say," Lucien said, "Others can talk about it, but Paulina...you don't know Paulina yet! That's a monkey, a super brat. She doesn't care much about what she does. You're proud. Even if you tell her, you can't guarantee when she will be proud, just like showing off a baby, and tell Joseph about it."

"That's true. We must emphasize to her the seriousness of the matter, so that she can be highly alert and awaken from the depths of her mind..." Napoleon said.

"Come on, Napoleon, what's the use of that? Let me tell you, the most important thing is to let Paulina realize how terrible it is if Joseph gets angry! Only she really realizes this, then She can keep the secret."

"Well, but Joseph has always been kind to Paulina. She doesn't know--"

"That's because when Joseph left home, Paulina was still young, and he hadn't had time to reach out to the young and ignorant Paulina. But it's different now..."

"Hmm... um?... What nonsense are you talking about?" Napoleon sat up straight.

"Napoleon, I mean, Joseph didn't have time to give Paulina a math homework. I think we should let Polina experience it first, let her know how terrible Joseph is... keep her mouth shut."

After hearing Lucien's explanation, Napoleon nodded with sympathy: "That's right... Let's sort out the exercise set that Joseph asked us to do... so that Paulina can have a deep understanding."

"I'll go right away..."

An hour later, from the study of Napoleon's temporary residence, Paulina's cry came: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo—lucien...you are such a bad bastard! If i had known earlier, i would have let Napoleon beat you to death!" "

And so the alliance dedicated to concealing the truth was officially formed.

When Napoleon went south, the National Salvation Committee was busy with other things and did not immediately send a special commissioner to Napoleon's army. However, Napoleon's attack was very fast. It took only a few days to capture Toulon, so until Toulon was conquered, and the commissioner was long overdue.

Although the special commissioner came a bit late, but looking at the special commissioner's name, Napoleon knew that the higher ups really attached great importance to Toulon.

This time it was Couton who came to Toulon as the special commissioner. He was a member of the National Salvation Committee. His appointment as Toulon's special commissioner also showed the attitude of the National Salvation Committee.

Couthon thought that he could achieve success and honor in Toulon like Saint-Just in the north, and thus gain a higher voice in the National Salvation Committee. But Kano has always been reluctant to let him be the special commissioner. As a result, it took a lot of time. Finally, when he rushed to Toulon non-stop, he found that Toulon had already been taken down by Napoleon.

"Damn it! Didn't it mean that Toulon's defenses are strong, the enemy army is numerous and well-trained, and it is difficult to conquer? How could it be..." Ku Dong felt as if he had spent a lot of time preparing for a battle. Feast, but after I got everything ready, I rushed to the scene in a carriage, only to find that the feast was over, and there were only scattered leftovers on all the plates, and everyone was belching and preparing to go home Woolen cloth.

Of course Couton could not accuse Napoleon of moving too fast and not waiting for him, but his anger needed to be vented. So he first targeted Pope. In his view, this made perfect sense. You see, Napoleon took Toulon in just a few days and with very few casualties. What does this mean? This shows that Toulon's defense is not strong. But in the face of such an easy-to-handle enemy, Pope lost his army... Isn't he suspected of collaborating with the enemy?

Fortunately, Pope's eldest son became a martyr, which freed Pope from many suspicions. In addition, Napoleon also said that General Pope also played a very important role in his victory (many people dug trenches They are all Pope's soldiers). Therefore, Kudong could not directly arrest Pope on the charge of "treason". But Couton said that since Pope's previous performance cannot be understood as treason, it can only be understood as incompetent. Anyway, Pope is either bad or stupid. As for which one it is, it's up to him to choose.

Pope chose "stupid" without hesitation, and he was honorably retired on the spot.

Couton's bad breath failed to vent on Pope, so the guys in Toulon were out of luck. Couthon began a large-scale arrest of "traitors" in Toulon. Anyone with a "virtue" in their name, or who ever wore a black robe (priest), was sent to prison. Then he quickly organized a "revolutionary court" and conducted a quick trial of these people.

A trial is basically executing a batch file. All the suspects were found guilty, and all those who deserved to be convicted received the same and only punishment—the guillotine.

It's just that there is no revolutionary sacred object-the guillotine in Toulon. The original one played a role after the royalists occupied Dolon, cutting off the heads of many Jacobins; but after the arrival of the British, a certain British officer thought it was very distinctive. , very valuable for collection, so I moved it back to England. So Couton had to wait a few more days for the new guillotine to arrive.

Of course, he has not been idle these days. He continued to work and found many counter-revolutionaries who, at this time, once again disguised themselves as revolutionary activists, trying to escape punishment. Some of them even infiltrated the Revolutionary Court! If it weren't for Ku Dong's sharp eyes, these guys would not only have escaped punishment, but might even sneak into the revolutionary ranks and cause even greater damage in the future.

So a large group of guys, including many people from the "Revolutionary Court", were also sent to prison, where they waited for the guillotine to arrive.

In prison, a condemned inmate asked another condemned inmate:

"Why were you arrested too?"

"Because it was too slow to raise my hand when it was time to vote on whether Count Madan's head should be beheaded. They said I sympathized with the nobles."

"how about you?"

"I... I raised my hand too fast. They said I was trying to hide my..."

The two death row inmates finally asked the death row inmate who had been silent all the time: "Hey, brother, how about you?"

"Because I am Count Madan."

A few days later, the guillotine arrived, and the Kudong commissioner used it to chop off nearly 2,000 heads in one go.

There are a lot of things today, and I have only written the second chapter until now. There will be a lot of things tomorrow, and tomorrow's update may not be until evening.
