   Chapter 1362 The story of the square

In the Paris library of the 21st century, Pomona once saw a newspaper briefing published during the Paris Commune Movement, when it mentioned that all the Freemasonry members gathered in the fenced courtyard of the Tuileries Palace, all members crossed their chests. Red or blue belts and small aprons around the waist appeared on the streets of Paris.

  She thinks that kind of dress is funny, why wear an apron? That's not "cool" at all.

  She didn't know until after she had read the 10,000 books about the French Revolution collected by Colonel Crocker of the British Navy belonging to the Tory Party that they were holding aprons on the way to attack Versailles by French women.

  In the National Day military parade in France in the 21st century, soldiers will still wear aprons. People in other countries also think they look funny like this.

  The apron represents "bread and blood", "freedom, equality, fraternity", and the "Declaration of Human Rights", but it has nothing to do with the capture of the Bastille.

  They were looking for the king to ask for cheap bread and stop the man-made famine. At that time, it was raining heavily in Versailles, and the women had been standing in the rain waiting for the palace gate to open.

Louis XVI was a very softhearted man. He did not want the soldiers of the Flemish Infantry Regiment to let the soldiers and women do their work. What he didn't know was that there were people with sufficient money following these women. The money was divided among the soldiers, promising to let them act as thug officers.

  From Paris to Versailles, it takes three times to cross the Seine River, all of which need to cross the bridge. The women were not blocked in any way, and there were no instigators following them. So everyone knows that the National Guard can also approach Versailles through the same excuse.

The National Guard from Paris was stationed outside the palace. The National Guard participated in the attack on the Bastille. After the victory of the uprising, Lafayette was appointed commander-in-chief. Under his leadership, the National Guard shot and killed Brunner. Inside, people who were imprisoned in the prison for participating in the Mars Square demonstration, Dandong later rescued him.

  In addition to the National Guard, there were also militias composed of mutinous soldiers in Paris at that time. These people came to Versailles in the middle of the night.

Before dawn, some mobs sneaked into the palace and planned to kill Marie Antoinette. They broke into the palace from the entrance of the garden, but accidentally broke into a guard room full of sleeping soldiers. They were frightened. Ran. After a busy day, Lafayette was already asleep. When he was woken up, the National Guard had already controlled the entire palace. He released the soldiers of the Royal Guard, but was unable to restore order outside the palace. The boiling crowd was in the king. They shouted under the windowsill for several hours, and their condition was that it was time to go to "Paris" to complete the task.

  That day, she borrowed Napolioni’s military uniform and rode horseback at Versailles at night, instead of patronizing love for nothing. Marshal de Brorier, who once made great achievements in the Seven Years' War, built a barracks with a capacity of 25,000 people near Versailles. It has not been demolished. If there is a riot in Paris, the British expatriates living in Paris You can withdraw there.

Before the resignation of William Pitt Jr. in February, the new Foreign Secretary Hawkesbury had already proposed peace talks to France, but the negotiations between Hawkesbury and Talleyrand immediately clashed over the Egyptian issue. Kestari and Addington wanted to retain most of the British conquests, and this proposal only encouraged Bonaparte's determination to agree to unite with Russia to destroy Britain.

Although Addington was determined to negotiate, he was expecting an outcome that would be beneficial to Britain. Pete and Grenwell were undecided about whether to negotiate a peace. The Irish incident gave him an excuse to step down to prevent the peace from falling to his own head. However, it is impossible for the government of Addington to send diplomats to negotiate successfully.

  The British and the Turks have little dealings, but Napoleon is called the Sultan by the Turks, and he can act as the Turks’ mediator.

After the French failed to occupy Portugal in the Battle of Orange Grove, Napoleon put forward a new proposal. The two sides surrendered their occupation, the Netherlands will lose Ceylon, the Cape of Good Hope as an international trading port, France abandon Egypt, the United Kingdom abandon Malta, Menorca, Elba, Trinidad, and the French Antilles. In fact, the United Kingdom had to abandon Egypt and obtain Ceylon, but at that time the tobacco had not been reclaimed, and the British showed little interest in Ceylon. In October In the peace agreement signed on the 10th, Britain withdrew part of its garrison in Egypt, and instead included Ceylon in its own pocket.

The American adviser very much hopes to realize the isolationism left by Washington. James Monroe, the last minister in France, wrote a letter to explain after learning about Napoleon’s sanctions against the United States, stating that the United States absolutely did not want to undermine the peace in Europe. meaning.

Few people in the 21st century have never heard of the Monroe Doctrine: First, Europe is not colonized in the Western Hemisphere, and it not only opposes the expansion of Western Europe in Latin America, but also opposes the expansion of Russia on the west coast of North America; Second, Europe does not interfere in the affairs of independent American countries; 3. The United States does not interfere in European affairs, including all European affairs in the American colonies.

  The relationship between the United Kingdom and the United States is mutual cooperation and mutual suspicion. London has been trying to contain the expansion of American power, and the reduction in trade will allow the United States to delay or cancel its plan to expand its military power.

  Originally, before the death of Washington, the French navy was plundering American merchant ships in large numbers. Whether or not France’s trade sanctions were similar, what the United States cares about now is the attitude of the United Kingdom.

  If a person has a choice, he won’t be the same as when there is no choice, in order to maintain a relationship that looks good and divorced. Even God believes that choice is the ultimate freedom of man.

  The vegetable market is also a "free trade" place. In addition to sea fish, pork and beef, the vegetable market also includes oysters, octopus, hares, wild vegetables, mushrooms, and birds.

  The price of bread is a bit high, but the supply is not cut off. Lafayette once came up with an idea to give the bakery 2,000 francs a month to let the owner supply less bread to stimulate people's dissatisfaction.

  People are like this. When there are fewer bakery shops open, and the daily supply of bread is also reduced, you will be particularly flustered. Even if you have bread at home, you will buy more and stock up.

  Bake bread still needs fuel. The small bakery cannot produce as many ovens as the large bakery. Loans are given to them every month, and the supplier of the small bakery has survived.

  The French are gentle and harmless when they are calm, and once they burst out with fierce passion, they will become the most barbaric nation.

In 1784, William Pitt Jr. was also attacked. At that time, he gave London the right to self-government. Excited people pulled Pete's car to his home. When Pete's car passed the Whig club, a group of people Attempt to attack him, but was later blocked by the crowd.

On April 8, 1791, Louis XVI tried to go to St. Luke for Easter. The king wanted to accept the communion publicly, but the king’s family was stopped by the crowd as soon as they arrived at the door. They were all in the carriage for more than an hour. And the door of the car was knocked on by the mob, and the outside was full of insults that "the king is a fat pig".

  Lafayette tried to open a way, but it didn't work at all, and the king had to return to the palace.

  After this incident, the king strengthened his determination to flee. Late at night on June 20, 1791, members of the royal family slipped out of the palace through a secret passage after putting on makeup, but Lafayette and the then mayor of Paris came to talk to Louis XVI, and the delay was two hours.

  They want to go to Frankfurt for the pass, but they actually go to Varanas, which is not the same direction at all. They are easily recognized by the staff of the station.

Rather than being forced into that situation, Georgiana would rather go to the sewage market. She is beautiful and easy to be remembered. If the citizens yelled under the windowsill, she would be recognized instantly by others. Come out of her.

  The Palace of Versailles has become a barracks. As long as Britain and France maintain the current friendly relations, it is possible for those French soldiers to protect British civilians.

  But British civilians could not move the soldiers’ rations and supplies, nor could they hoard the food of the citizens of Paris at this time, causing the price of food to continue to rise.

  The United Kingdom is now an armed neutral country. They have a good relationship with the United States. They can transport some American corn, and they can not only eat but also make money. Because the Portuguese war lost, Britain lost a lot of foreign exchange in Spain, which happened to be able to make up for it through trade.

  Cicero once said in the "National Chapter" that the Gauls think it is disgraceful to produce grains with manpower, so they armed themselves to plunder the fields of others.

  We ourselves (Roman citizens) prohibit people outside the Alps from growing olive trees and grapes, so that our own olive trees and vineyards will become more valuable.

  So you can easily understand that wisdom and fairness are not inconsistent.

  Lake Gus, known for its excellent laws and an equal judicial system, in fact stipulated that the land of the rich must be cultivated by the poor.

  Napoleon, who boldly innovated on other issues, was very cautious about the land issue. He may have negligence, but he can be regarded as a more enlightened monarch.

   "Inspected" the vegetable market and confirmed that everything is normal for the people, and Georgiana left with the "Diamond Boy".

  Although he is not as exquisite as Mr. Danti, but the Prime Minister will probably not come again after coming to the market. Napoleon couldn’t stand the stench and sewage. What the "Diamond Boy" couldn’t stand was the noise of women and the food floating in the sewage. He just thought that the things he ate in his mouth at the banquet came from this. nausea.

  Georgiana didn't laugh at him, it was pretty good that he could hold on to the end without vomiting.

   "How about going for a cup of coffee? I'll treat you." Georgiana said generously.

   "I don't want to eat or drink anything right now." Granit waved his hand again and again.

  "We can talk about the construction of resettlement sites. With that place, British settlements can be set up during negotiations, and it will be more convenient to issue special trade permits in the future."

   Granit’s attention was distracted, and he began to really think about it.

"Cicero said that an ideal country does not engage in war unless it is to maintain its own honor or security. I think Washington is a great man." Georgiana stared at Brunner. "But France does not need a direction. The loyal leader of the Americans."

  "Do you think the wars Napoleon has waged so far are for honor?" Granit said with a cold face.

   "His government is more like an entity in a state of emergency, not the same as the benevolent, dignified, wise, and tolerant British government." Georgiana said sweetly, "I always think that the British are very good at compromise."

   "How do you want us to compromise, Cecilia?" Granit sneered.

  "India..."

   "No!" Granit immediately rejected it.

   "At least tell me why?"

  "This is not news. Fox intends to reform the East India Company, but was blocked by the king. I tried to invite him to join the cabinet, but he refused."

   "I still don't understand." She asked in confusion.

"I was elected prime minister funded by the king. Fox is my opposition party. Later, the opposition party passed a motion of no confidence. In order to refuse to resign, I continue to maintain the relationship with the king." Granit said directly and clearly, "but for the Catholics." , Your Majesty abandoned me."

  She still doesn't understand much.

   "I said at the dinner party that day, we are waiting for the king's order, who do you think is the king who is giving the order?" Granit reminded her again.

  "George III really has a relapse of his old illness?" Georgiana asked suspiciously.

  "If the Prince of Wales becomes the regent, he will support Fox reforming the East India Company. Have you read the law that I enacted in India?"

  Georgiana shook her head.

   "Fox will ruin my India, but Addington is even worse." Granit sighed. "If the situation gets worse, I will join forces with Fox."

   "You just told me so directly?"

  Grannett stared at Georgiana "How did you know that the barracks could hold 25,000 people?"

   "He told me." Georgianna said, "but it was abandoned for several years and needs to be refurbished."

  "It’s better to be overhauled than crying, and asking me what to do. That’s why I told you my plan." Granit looked at her and shook his head. "It's a pity that you are a woman."
