Fox of France

Joseph, who knew nothing about historical details, didn't realize how the parade that Aunt Sophie was going to participate in would leave a deep mark in history. He was just surprised. In fact, an indifferent woman actually plans to participate in activities such as demonstrations.

"Aunt Sophie, didn't you say that you have no interest in these things?" Before Joseph could speak, Louis spoke first, "Can you not go? If you are not here, Lucien will take all All the chores are left to me.”

"Ah, my little Master Louie," said Aunt Sophie, wiping her hands on her apron. "It's a good idea not to go. If you don't go, the others will be upset. It's like your friends have a party, Little Louie." , invited you, but you didn't go, wouldn't they be unhappy too?"

"But, Aunt Sophie, the gathering of friends is to play together, and you are to demonstrate." Louis continued, "Joseph said that it is very chaotic and dangerous outside now. The city hall is especially chaotic and dangerous."

"Don't worry, it's all right." Aunt Sophie touched Louis' head, "The mayor of Bayi and the Marquis de Lafayette are both good people, and I don't walk in the front. If there is anything, I will definitely run away." fast."

Aunt Sophie doesn't understand politics, but her simple life wisdom tells her that if everyone goes, but she doesn't go, she will show up in everyone's eyes at this time and become very conspicuous . At times like these, being conspicuous always comes with all its perils.

The next day, Aunt Sophie did not come. By the afternoon of the third day, Joseph had already returned home from get off work, and she showed up at Joseph's door, her face full of excitement and exhaustion.

"I'm sorry, Monsieur Bonaparte, I'm late. But I think it's just in time to make dinner," said Aunt Sophie.

"Oh, it's nothing." Joseph said while letting Aunt Sophie in, "Nowadays, unexpected things are no longer accidents. It's really unexpected. You didn't come back yesterday, and Little Louis was still worried about you, but now you're back safe and sound, which is better than anything else."

"Aunt Sophie, Aunt Sophie..." At this time, Louis shouted loudly, and ran out of the kitchen with a kitchen knife for cutting bread in his hand—obviously, as the little brother, he was Oppressed and enslaved by two older brothers.

"Ah, my little Master Louis." Aunt Sophie hurried over and took the table knife in Louis's hand, which was still stained with bread crumbs. "How do you miss me?"

"Well," Louis said with wide-eyed curiosity, "I heard that you lived in the palace yesterday?"

"Yes, I rolled on the Queen's bed this morning!" Aunt Sophie replied boastfully, walking towards the kitchen.

"Aunt Sophie, tell me, have you seen the queen? Is the queen beautiful? Also, is the queen's bed covered with gold louis?" Louis grabbed Sophie's apron and followed to the kitchen Go, while asking.

"The queen is very beautiful, but there is no gold louis on her bed. She is not a dragon, she likes to sleep on gold coins..."

When it was time to eat, Aunt Sophie told her details about the past two days, and Joseph knew that such an important thing happened in these two days.

The women originally went to the city hall to petition. However, when they arrived at the city hall, they were told that the mayor of Bayi happened to be away, and the Marquis of Lafayette also coincidentally happened to be away.

Aunt Sophie originally thought that since no one could be found, everyone should go back to their respective homes, but suddenly someone shouted in the crowd: "Then let's go to Versailles to find the king, he can't just starve us to death." !"

Then many people jumped out to support, and then another man named Mayard, who was said to have participated in the attack on the Bastille, stood up and said that he knew how to get to Versailles, and he was willing to take everyone to Versailles.

It is said that a boring scientist did a very boring experiment. He removed parts of a fish's brain before returning it to the school. This brainless fish can only swim forward desperately, and as a result, the whole fish school is driven by it, and it becomes the leader of the whole fish school.

In fact, crowds are very similar to fish schools in many cases. In many cases, especially in the critical moment of chaos and hesitation, it is often not those people with profound wisdom, but those who act decisively that can drive the crowd. Even if their actions are thoughtless and reckless.

So everyone followed Mayard to Versailles. It takes about four hours to walk from the city hall to Versailles, but the women who are eager to solve the problem of food still go without hesitation.

After the women had set off for a while, both the mayor of Bailly and the Marquis de Lafayette came to the town hall. The National Guard was also quickly assembled, ready to go to Versailles to defend... defend the king or the people-who knows. The Paris Commune (yes, after the Bastille was conquered, the new Paris municipal institution was called the Paris Commune. This is version 1.0 of the Paris Commune. The Paris Commune we are more familiar with is version 2.0.) also sent two representatives to follow La Fayette goes to Versailles. Their orders were: to bring the King's family to Paris.

The women were not moving very fast, so the Constituent Assembly, which was meeting in Versailles, had heard the news before they arrived. The assembly immediately sent its president, Mounier, to see the king. When the king got the news, he stopped hunting and returned to Versailles. Meunier asked him to approve the "August Decree" and transfer the Flanders Army immediately. King said he needs more consideration.

The queen persuaded the king to leave Versailles and avoid those "mobs", but the king felt that he would be a laughing stock if he fled from Versailles just because some women came. At this time, the king didn't know that behind those women, the heavily armed National Guard had come to "defend" him.

In the afternoon, the women arrived at Versailles. The king received the women, and he was very kind, and promised them that he would guarantee the supplies of Paris. (Of course, the king has no strength to do this at all, this is just to deal with those women.)

In fact, this statement also worked. After hearing the king's promise, some women felt that all problems were solved, and even started to turn around and prepare to return to Paris. Of course, many more women stayed on. But this was not because they had seen through the king's tricks, but because they had walked for four or five hours and were very tired and needed rest. If there is no accident, they will all go back tomorrow morning with satisfaction.

However, at about ten o'clock in the evening, the Marquis of Lafayette arrived at Versailles with representatives of the National Guard and the Paris Commune. Speaking of which, the National Guard walked more slowly than the women. But that's okay, because they have cannons. As for why the cannon was carried, of course it was used to defend the king. At about eleven o'clock that night, the Marquis of Lafayette brought two representatives to the king, and the two representatives bluntly demanded that the king's family move to Paris immediately. Lafayette said that the National Guard is loyal to the king and can fully guarantee the safety of the king.

This request came as a complete surprise to the king. But after learning that Lafayette had brought a lot of National Guards, he didn't dare to refuse directly, so he shied away and said that it was too late now, and we would talk about it tomorrow.

It is said that that night, someone went to the nearby Flanders Legion, but the Flanders Legion has remained silent. It can be seen that such rumors may not be reliable.

In the early morning of the next day, the demonstrators who had settled down suddenly clashed with the king's guard. It started with scolding, then pushing and shoving, and then suddenly a gunshot rang out and a demonstrator fell. Then someone shouted: "The guards shot and killed someone!"

Then the National Guard joined in, they quickly disarmed the guards, and then a large number of demonstrators rushed into the palace.

The demonstrators broke into the queen's bedroom, and the queen fled to the king's chambers for shelter. The demonstrators began to look for the king and queen everywhere. The king hides everywhere with the queen, princes and princesses.

Fortunately, at this time, Lafayette finally reacted. He led the "loyal" National Self-Defense Forces to help the guards drive the demonstrators out of the palace and protect the safety of the king's family.

Immediately afterwards, Lafayette, who "rescued him", met the king again and asked the king and queen to go to the balcony to meet the crowd.

The king and his wife were forced to agree, and the crowd shouted at the king and his wife on the balcony: "The king is going to Paris!" "The king and his family are going to Paris!"

Louis XVI's face was ashen. Under such pressure, he was forced to agree and the family moved to Paris. Under the command of Lafayette, the crowd shouted together: "Long live the king!" "Long live the queen!"

Although Louis XVI was forced to agree to the demands of the demonstrators, he still delayed as much as possible. The king's family didn't start to leave Versailles until two o'clock in the afternoon and embarked on the road to Paris.

During this period of time, the Flemish Legion, which has always been regarded as a great threat by the people of Paris, has remained silent. Of course, this may also be because they have not received a formal edict from the king.

In short, from this day on, the king's family fell into the hands of the revolutionary masses and officially became prisoners of the revolution. Although he still wears a crown on his head.

"Okay, that's it, we brought back the owner, wife and little boss of the bakery. From now on, we don't have to worry about not being able to buy bread any more!" Aunt Sophie ended with this sentence According to her narration, in her opinion, all problems have been solved.
