18th century total war

Chapter 8 So-Called Help

"Master, the city of Vannes sent a letter asking if we need help?"

Joseph came to Levi's office to report.

The affairs of foreign exchanges have always been controlled by Joseph. To be precise, unless Levi specifically asks, Joseph is in charge of the entire Charles family territory, except for the first-line infantry regiment!
This is an order from Earl Charles, and Li Wei has no right to interfere!
Therefore, Levi's message from Vannes still needs to be relayed through Joseph.

In fact, Joseph seldom reported the original letters to Levi. Joseph always believed that Levi was too young to take on important responsibilities. Earl Charles was only middle-aged and still had the energy to find a mistress. Levi wanted to take over as Earl Charles. The position, I do not know how many years to wait.

Of course, it is precisely because Earl Charles is suave and suave (lustful), so the real wife of Earl Charles, that is, Li Wei's biological mother, has not been pregnant for many years.

The relationship between the husband and wife is not good, and both parties are playing their own way in Paris, but it doesn't matter if Earl Charles has a child. If Li Wei's mother gave birth to a younger brother and sister for Li Wei, Earl Charles would not be easy to mess with!
Of course, there are still great benefits for Li Wei to have such open and cheap parents, at least he doesn't have to worry about his inheritance status being impacted.

Aristocrats are most concerned about face, no matter how weak Earl Charles is to his real wife, it is impossible for his illegitimate son to inherit his title and territory.

However, this also led to Li Wei's low voice in his father.

Li Wei was really only raised as the legal heir, just to prevent the Charles family from being cut off and being taken advantage of by collateral.

As for the two direct sisters, they are all ready to marry. If there is no Li Wei, the territory of the Charles family is likely to be annexed by other families through marriage!

This kind of relationship made Earl Charles attach great importance to Li Wei, the son-in-law, but he didn't have much affection. Now that he is in his prime, he is not willing to assign too much power to Li Wei. Joseph secretly stumbling with Li Wei in the family territory , Earl Charles may not be unaware.

Even though Li Wei has only traveled for half a year, he still knows how promiscuous the noble circle of the French Kingdom is in this world.

Not counting older married men and women like his parents, even the two older sisters who are not married are no longer pure.

When Li Wei just crossed over, he was still staying in Paris, and he overheard two sisters discussing how well a handsome young nobleman was doing in bed, and what's more, the sisters were fighting together!
Li Wei can only say that his sister in this life really knows how to play!

Of course, this is not to say that the aristocratic women in the Kingdom of France are not so self-cleaning. Men and women in this circle are very polarized in their concept of chastity.

Either completely indifferent, or very harsh!

Many daughters of aristocratic families with strict family education are in their 20s without getting married and still maintain a perfect body. In this era, they are already a proper old leftover woman!
Even in the later generations of late marriage and late childbearing, how many beautiful women in their 20s are there?
The most important thing is that the other party needs to have a good figure, a good appearance, and a good family. There are many handsome noble men chasing her, and she can hold on to the last line of defense, which is very rare!
So, the polarization of the French aristocratic circle is really weird.

No, to be precise, the concept of chastity in the entire European aristocratic circle in this world is polarized.

What is chaotic is really chaotic, and what is pure is really rigid.

There are even spinsters who remain perfect throughout their lives without getting married!
Later, after Li Wei left Paris, he knew very little about the French aristocratic circle. He only knew that his two sisters had talked with several partners, but they were still not married!
He still has correspondence with his family members, at least they are his own sisters, and the relationship between the two parties is still good.

Of course, there is no abnormal relationship like sibling love. In the eyes of the two sisters, 16-year-old Li Wei is too young.

Those two elder sisters like mature men, and feel that mature men have more experience and know how to make them enter heaven...

Li Wei naturally knew that Vannes was the provincial capital city of the province of Morbihan in the Brittany region of the Kingdom of France where the Charles family's territory was located.

The administrative level of the Kingdom of France in this world is the region-province-city, town and village.

And the city of Rennes, which needs to be captured by the system task given by the total war system, is the regional capital city of the Brittany region!
It is higher than the provincial capital, and its administrative level is second only to the capital Paris.

The peasant rebel army led by Bolcha wandered around the Charles family's territory for several days to expand its strength, but it has not attacked the town of Charles for a long time. Vannes, the capital of the Morbihan province, has naturally received the news.

Earl Charles can be regarded as a traditional aristocrat in the middle and upper levels of the Kingdom of France, so the city government of Vannes naturally cannot let it go. After all, the Constituent Assembly of the Paris city government has not banned the privileges of the nobility.

However, the city government of Vannes has also suffered the impact of the Revolution. It is a mess. Various parties are growing like weeds after the rain. The provincial censors appointed by Louis XVI have lost their rights and been expelled. This is the result of the Constituent Assembly. Order!
The autocratic monarchy of the Kingdom of France is mainly maintained by the system of local censors who are directly responsible to the king. If the Constituent Assembly wants to limit the king's autocratic power, it is natural that all local censors will be revoked immediately.

At the same time, it is intended to replace the power vacuum left by the removal of the Ombudsman with local electoral assemblies.

The establishment of parliaments at all levels is the source of chaos in each capital city. The wealthy bourgeoisie all jumped out at this time, and the local church monks and nobles representing the old forces are also scrambling to seize power one by one.

"How many troops does Vannes plan to send to suppress the rebellion?"

Li Wei asked curiously.

He didn't expect that after the Paris Revolution, the city of Vannes would still have the energy to help put down the rebellion. You know, from the news of the Paris Revolution to today, three noble lairs in the province of Morbihan have been breached by rioting farmers!

The city guards, the regular army controlled by the province, and even the local police station were either disbanded or divided up by various ambitious people, participating in the power struggle, and no one paid any attention to the rioting farmers.

As long as these rebel peasants don't take the initiative to attack the big cities, they won't have touched the bottom line. In this era, cities are the real source of wealth.

Joseph replied with a gloomy face: "There is no army coming to help for the time being. The city of Vannes is asking if we can put down the rebellion. If it is not possible, you can take refuge in the city of Vannes with your belongings!"
