The Crescent of the Sultan

On March 1, 1790, after a vote by the National Convention, the motion to abolish the monarchy was officially passed, even though Louis XVI had been dead for a long time.

In the hall, the entire National Convention was clearly divided into three factions, namely the Girondins on the right, the Jacobins on the left, and the Plains in the middle.

However, the power structure of the National Convention at this time was different from that of the previous National Constituent Assembly. Roland's repeated behavior of favoring the king caused him to suffer a serious loss of points.

In the general election, the Girondins only received 140 seats, while the Jacobins received 170 seats during the same period, and the rest were all Plains factions.

In this case, Roland was no longer able to fully control the situation, and Robespierre temporarily became the leader of France.

Selim, who was far away in Constantiniya, sighed slightly after listening to Ishak Pasha's report of the entire incident.

He really didn't expect that the whole thing would develop so fast, nor did he expect that Napoleon would dare to let Kalemani Pasha take such a dangerous action.

In fact, according to Selim's vision, Louis XVI would have to die next year anyway, during which Prussia and Austria would be the first to go to war with France.

This was an opportunity for Napoleon to use Roland's connections to quickly get promoted and increase his qualifications.

As long as he wins a series of brilliant battles, Napoleon will be able to accumulate enough prestige for himself to prepare to replace Roland.

Selim had actually made a plan on how to replace Roland.

The first is to transfer the French troops left in Paris. This is actually not difficult. There have been many such opportunities in history.

Secondly, he sent people to stir up flames between the Jacobins and the Girondins, helping the French to launch a reign of terror. From all aspects, Robespierre could dominate all this, and the Girondins would be attacked. A heavy blow, Roland is destined to die.

When the people of Paris could no longer endure the reign of terror or Napoleon was recalled from the army, Napoleon could use the corresponding banner at this time, imitate Caesar, fight directly back to Paris, and seize power.

However, even if Selim had the advantage of being a prophet and had placed Napoleon next to Roland, and Kalemani Pasha was assisting spies in Paris, France would not follow the Sultan's script.

In other words, the Sultan's idea of ​​remotely controlling such a big country cannot be said to be serious, but it can also be said to be whimsical.

Selim looked at the calendar on the wall and saw that it was already March 9th.

the Sultan then asked.

"Ishak, how's it going in Poland?"

"Um

Your Majesty, the Poles seem to have little ability to resist. Their Sejm (parliament) is not even as efficient as the French. The other party can at least execute one king.

It seems that this is not correct. The Poles can still drive away a king.

The Polish nobles abandoned August III and turned to the arms of Catherine II. They seemed to really think that the other party could give them a strong Poland. "

Both the monarch and his ministers laughed immediately. They had already seen the fate of Poland. It was one of the scum that was crushed under the wheels of the great era.

March 15, 1790, Paris.

At this time, the National Convention had passed the Constitution and the Land Act, abolishing the feudal land system, and the ideas of freedom and equality were once again spread, and this echo spread deeper and wider.

In Lyon, a group of royalists are discussing their next move.

"So, you mean to let us give up Lyon? Jacques"

Louis Mathieu's mood was not stable. He never thought that the other party would make such a proposal.

"Listen to me, Matthew, we have no chance. Duke Biron can't even defeat the opponent's partial force. It's simply ridiculous for you to expect us to keep Lyon."

"You don't have the courage to stick to Lyon. I advise Jacques that you should flee to England as soon as possible."

Louis-Matthew scoffed.

“Okay, stop arguing, Jacques’s idea is right.

Roland's life in Paris was not easy, and he could not openly send troops into Paris.

In this case, Lyon was his first choice. He could fight for power with Robespierre in Paris when he entered, and he could control the southern, western and central regions of France when he retreated.

As for Robespierre, this man would never allow the country to be divided.

He finally had to compromise with Roland. "

The Duke of Bourbon-Condé, who was standing by the window, had turned around at this time.

As a cousin of Louis XVI and heir to the throne of France.

Unlike Philippe Equality, who convicted Louis XVI, he was a staunch royalist in the French royal family.

The Duke of Condé-Bourbon walked towards the two of them and said.

“I have to say that our situation is quite bad, and Duke Biron is unable to stop Napoleon Bonaparte.

Roland has a huge advantage, but we don't need to give up Lyon directly.

This place has always been a staunch supporter of the royal family.

Without our help, Roland can't sit here safely. "

Louis-Matthew then asked.

"what do you mean?"

replied the Duke of Condé-Bourbon.

"Go and send another letter to Roland. Blind tolerance will only make Robespierre more and more unscrupulous.

This time he only forced him to execute the king and took most of Paris from him.

But what about next time? Robespierre forced Roland to hand over France to him. Will Roland give it to him too?

There is nothing we can do, but is Roland, who has a heavy army, so weak?

He will figure out the benefits of working with us. "

Jacques nodded.

"Then I'll stay and meet Roland. You guys can evacuate and go to England. Lafayette is there."

"Take care, Jacques. If something unexpected happens, go find Viscount Noaille. He should be sent here by Roland."

Leaving behind the last words, the Duke of Condé-Bourbon left here, Louis Mathieu followed behind him, and took one last look at Jacques-Pierre Blanche.

The other party gave Louis Mathieu a smile in return, and the royalists had made their decision.

While France was undergoing a new round of internal struggles, continental countries had already responded to the death of Louis XVI.

The king's death angered all the European countries, but a monarch was judged by his people and executed by the executioner.

This was unacceptable to other monarchs. After the monarchs of Austria, Prussia, and Tsarist Russia made the decision to completely swallow Poland, they gathered together to discuss the issue of sending troops to intervene.

On March 25, 1790, with the cooperation of the royalists, Napoleon led his army into Lyon.

When Danton conveyed the news to Robespierre, he was standing in front of the drawbridge of the Bastille. The "Incorruptible" did not say much, but pointed forward and asked.

"How many people will skip this process in the future? Dandong."
