Fox of France

In fact, Boronville also knew the importance of middle and low-level officers in an army. However, his mission is not to command the army, but to bring the traitor Dumouriez back to Paris to be judged by the people. If Dumouriez escaped like this, it would mean that his mission had failed anyway. Although he didn't have a strange watch on his hand, and there was no voice that others couldn't hear to remind him that if the task failed, so many points would be deducted, and if the points were insufficient, he would be directly obliterated or something. But in fact, the consequences of mission failure may not be much different from this.

However, the short major in front of him doesn't seem to care much about being able to catch the traitor Dimouriez. Judging from his words, he seems to be more concerned about the safety of the tied up mid-level officers . Boronville knew that the short officer's considerations were more in line with the interests of France overall. But even if he wanted to take care of the overall situation, he, Boronville, should take care of the overall situation. A small major ran out to take care of the overall situation, so he didn't take himself as a special commissioner seriously. So although not long ago, it was this short officer who rescued himself with the soldiers, but Boronville's gratitude to him was almost wiped out in such an instant, and he even felt that, The short man was not firm enough for the revolution. At the same time, he also found a very nice adjective for his behavior, which is called "unselfish".

However, even if Boronville wanted to be "stern and selfless" again, he didn't have the capital to be "stern and impartial" at this time. Because the soldiers around were also not firm in the revolution, and they didn't stand on the side of themselves representing Paris, but on the side of the dwarf Bonaparte.

The traitor's emissary walked back, and the traitors discussed there for a while. Then the messenger came back.

"The general agrees with your suggestion." Hankerson said, "But he also has some requirements."

"Go ahead," said Napoleon.

"The general asked all your ambush soldiers to come out. So that we can be sure that you didn't set up an ambush in front." Hankerson said, "Also, the general does not agree to hand over the Duke of Chartres to you as a hostage, but he proposed that he himself be the hostage." This hostage."

Napoleon thought for a while and replied: "I can call out all the ambush soldiers, but Dumourier must come to me first. After all, Dumourier should also know that we have no advantage in numbers. If not The advantage of the ambush, if you charge directly, it will be very disadvantageous to us. Well, you can bring my words to Du Mourier, this is the last condition, if he agrees, let him come by himself. If he does not Agree, then settle the matter with cannon and bayonets."

Hankison immediately turned back. He must save time, perhaps the pursuers will arrive soon.

After a while, Hankison and Dumouriez came over together. When they got to Napoleon's soldiers, Napoleon called out all the soldiers who were ambushing nearby, and stepped aside after the other party released half of the hostages. the way. The rebels quickly passed the ambush circle, and then stopped, preparing for the second stage of the hostage exchange.

"We must not let this traitor go!" said Boronville suddenly. "We must send this traitor back to Paris and hang him from a lamppost!"

"There will be many people buried for me." Dimouriez said.

"They died for the revolution, and the motherland will remember them," Boronville said.

"No," Napoleon said, "they are our brothers, and we cannot abandon them at any time."

Then he glanced at Dumouriez again and said, "The lives of 10,000 traitors are not as good as a soldier loyal to the revolution."

"Major Bonaparte, obey the order!" Boronville shouted.

"Sir, I am sorry that I cannot obey your orders until I have obtained valid documents that can prove your identity." Napoleon glanced at the commissioner and said calmly.

When Boronville and others were rescued, their identity certificates were not with them, so Napoleon used this as an excuse to refuse him.

"Okay, very good!" Bolongville's face was livid.

"Hahahaha!" Dimouriez laughed loudly, pointing at Napoleon and then at Boronville: "Bonaparte, have you ever thought that you could save such a thing after all your efforts?" ? That's what you're fighting for?"

Then he straightened his face and said: "Bonaparte, you are from aristocratic background, you are so talented, why do you want to mix with such things? Come with us, with your brothers' talents, you will definitely become big men .”

His words were quite sincere, as if he didn't blame Brother Bonaparte for ruining his event at all. Of course, Napoleon would not believe his nonsense. Napoleon has seen this kind of guy who speaks nicely and changes his face as soon as he turns his back.

"We are all fighting for revolutionary ideals." Napoleon said, "Even if we have disputes and different opinions, it is for France, and we will not betray the French motherland."

Today, Napoleon's ability to tell lies with his eyes open has improved a lot, at least when he speaks the words "French motherland" now, he is still very fluent.

"French motherland?" Dumouriez looked at Napoleon with mocking eyes, "You are a Corsican, your father was even a rebel, and you actually told me you love France?"

"Corsica has been an inalienable territory of France since ancient times. Every Corsican is a citizen of the French Republic and has the sacred duty to safeguard the unity of the motherland." Napoleon said this without hesitation.

"Bonaparte, you will succeed!" said Dumouriez at last.

The subsequent hostage exchange also went smoothly. Although Bolongville wanted to destroy all this, he was ignored by almost everyone. Of course, this also made him hate Napoleon who saved him, even more than Dumouriez.

By quelling the rebellion, Joseph and Napoleon gained control of this army, at least temporarily. Several commissioners who failed to complete the task confirmed their identities (Dimouriez left in a hurry and did not take away their identity introduction letters.) But they failed to obtain command power smoothly. In fact, because they knew almost nothing about the affairs of the army, and Joseph threatened them that after Dumouriez defected, the Austrian army knew the reality of our army, and it is likely to attack us in a short time. After the attack, our army will face a fierce battle, and these commissioners sincerely hope to return to Paris before a new round of failure. Of course, they wouldn't say that. Their reason is naturally: "We must quickly inform Paris of the severe situation here, and let them make preparations to support you immediately. In addition, because of the destruction of that damned traitor, you have an extreme shortage of various military supplies. Report it to the National Assembly immediately."

So the commissioner left quickly.

Of course, it's not like these commissioners don't have anything to take back. In his haste, the Duke of Chartres forgot an important letter in the barracks. This letter is a letter written by Philip Equality to his son. The letter was quickly discovered, and now it has become the most important harvest of these special commissioners. Although they failed to capture the traitor Dumouriez, at least they managed to find another traitor who was mixed in the revolutionary ranks. This is a credit anyway, right?

The Duke of Chartres fled into the Austrian barracks in shock and stayed here temporarily. General Coble still had a lot to learn from them. They stayed with General Coble for three full days before they were able to leave the barracks. The Duke of Chartres knew that the Royalist in exile probably hated him no less than he hated those "rebels". So he didn't plan to stay in Austria, where there are royalists everywhere, but was going to leave for England. It was only on this day that he realized that he seemed to have left the letter his father gave him in the French army's barracks! At this time, the commissioners had returned to Paris, reported to the National Assembly about Dumouriez's rebellion, and publicly presented evidence that the Duke of Orleans participated in the rebellion, trying to overthrow the Republic and restore the monarchy.

After the Duke of Orleans wrote the letter to his son, he also made some preparations for fleeing, preparing to flee when things failed. But because he hadn't been alerted before, he was caught off guard and even held a meeting in the parliament. As a result, he was arrested at the scene.

Di Mouriez was originally a member of the Brissot faction, and was once one of the leaders of the Brissot faction. He became a traitor, and the Mountain faction naturally opened fire and attacked the Brissot faction. The Brissot faction naturally wanted to fight back, and their method of counterattack was naturally to seize the Duke of Orleans as a member of the Montagne, and the Montagne also had a traitor. So in the parliament, members of the two factions attacked each other, calling the other a traitor to the republic.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Danton once again proposed the Revolutionary Tribunal and the National Salvation Committee. This time, the members of the Brissot faction no longer dared to obstruct the bill, because at this time, opposing such a bill would be tantamount to confirming the opponent's accusation that he was a traitor to the Republic. So the most important institution in the French Revolution, the National Salvation Committee, was established in this way, and quickly became the real core of power in the French Republic.

Dandong naturally joined this committee, and the military is naturally indispensable for saving the country. Therefore, Kano was also elected to the National Salvation Committee and became a member in charge of the military.

The Revolutionary Tribunal also started to operate quickly, and then the guillotine was erected again. This time, it cut off the head of Philip Equality.
