King's Landing in France

Chapter 366 The End of the Mad Woman

Marian Walter trembled when she heard the melody of Roman Praise coming from outside. She grabbed Earl Felsen and asked tremblingly, "Why is there this song outside? Has the French army already entered? The city defense Why is it so vulnerable?"

The Count of Sweden, Felsen, doesn't know what's going on outside. After all, he is a Swedish count, not an Austrian count. Even after a year, his knowledge of the local area is very limited.

Just when everyone was at a loss, a guard quickly stepped forward and whispered something in Earl Felsen's ear.

Count Felsen's expression changed, he glanced at Mary, his mouth moved but he did not speak.

Mary asked, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

"That's right, the citizens of Vienna are gathering at Schönbrunn Palace, and they are singing this song."

Queen Mary—no, Queen Mary turned pale with fright, but she still supported the dragon chair beside her, and ordered firmly: "I will not make the same mistake as my husband! My husband just didn't use a rifle and Bayonets against those MPs led to the current situation! I am good at learning lessons!"

Queen Mary waved her hand: "Send out the guards to suppress these mobs! Stab them to death with bayonets!"

At this time, the Austrian nobles standing in the throne room looked at each other.

Mary: "What are you waiting for? Get out! Get your bayonets!"

Earl Felson reminded: "Mary, the people outside also have weapons and bayonets."

"Can they still fight against the army?"

Felsen looked at Mary, the queen, in surprise, and said after a moment of consideration: "If you can win the fight, don't you know by looking at your own motherland?"

"My motherland is Austria!" Queen Mary said categorically, and then laughed happily. "Now, the long-standing wish of the Habsburgs to unite France is about to come true!"

The Austrian nobles were all dumbfounded, and several nobles obviously repented and began to sneak towards the gate quietly.

Mary spotted them, pointed at them and yelled, "Where are you going?"

The nobleman who ran away immediately said: "I'm going to organize the guard cavalry to attack the mob on the street!"

Queen Mary nodded happily, and then added an order: "Not only do you need to use cavalry to charge, but also pull the cannons to the front of the enemy's formation, load them with grape bullets, and bombard them hard!"

Several nobles were about to run away, so how could they care so much at this time, they nodded repeatedly.

And off they go.

Queen Mary proudly came to the small terrace next to the window of the room, obviously wanting to appreciate the scene of the guard cavalry attacking the Austrian people.

However, there was no impact from the cavalry guards. Instead, more and more citizens gathered in the square of Schönbrunn Palace.

Everyone can see Queen Mary standing behind the balcony window.

Mary: "Great, you see these people support us!"

The Count of Sweden listened to the Roman hymn sung by the people below, and finally chose to remain silent.

At this moment, the crowd parted suddenly, and a man in civilian clothes but with royal sash appeared.

He parted the crowd just like Moses divided the sea, and walked up to the front of the Schönbrunn Palace, looking up at Queen Mary who was looking down from a height.

Mary recognized him and said with a smile: "My dear nephew, have you come to serve me? I knew you were much more capable than your brother..."

"No," said Grand Duke Karl loudly, "I can't accept you getting the throne under such circumstances. I'm here to get it back. As long as you return the palace, crown and scepter to us, you can continue to live in the United States." Spring Palace, but only to live in, this is not your palace, but your cage."

Mary raised her voice: "I knew it, you wanted the throne from me! You wanted to be king yourself!"

"I don't want to." Archduke Karl responded without hesitation, "I'm not interested in the throne, no matter where it is. I just want to protect Austria...I think this should be what Frost said national spirit."

The moment she heard Frost's name, Queen Mary screamed: "Don't mention that demon's name! The devil is coming! The devil is coming to take everything away!"

She covered her face and wept bitterly.

Grand Duke Karl was unmoved, and continued: "All the men, women and children present are fighting with the same belief. I think this is the awakening of national consciousness, and this is what Frost said!"

"Don't mention him!" Mary continued to scream strangely, like a "creature over there" that was about to disappear in front of the divine mana.

Grand Duke Karl: "Please hand over the crown and scepter, as well as the title deed of this palace! They will serve the Austrian nation in a more reliable way!"

The crowd chanted: "Hand over the crown!"

Mary shook her head again and again: "No, no! Frost! That lingering guy, why did I come here, and he still wants to chase me!"

Just as she was talking, Mary fell from the balcony on the second floor and hit her head directly on the newly built stone road.

This incident made everyone in the audience quiet down.

Archduke Karl raised his head again and looked at Felsen, a Swede with half of his face on the right side of the terrace.

So Archduke Karl said: "Resistance is meaningless. The French army outside did not attack. We are all in one country. Each of you is a child of a good family. You shouldn't die here for such an inexplicable reason. Austria still needs you!"

The count completely came to the road platform and leaned out half of his body: "No, I don't want to talk about it at all. The only thing that matters to me is Mary lying there, my Mary... oh, my Mary !"

The earl covered his face and wept bitterly, tears dripping down on the flagstone floor on the first floor, mixing with Queen Mary's blood.

※※※

Louis XVI's mood was unusually relaxed, even when the palace guards came to tell him that his wife Marianne Varney was dead, he was very relaxed.

"I knew she was going to die a long time ago. We are just boarders in this land, passers-by, and they will not really fight a tough battle for us and the French army. I feel that sooner or later, we will Returning to Paris, he was guillotined by an angry crowd shouting 'culprit'.

"Yes, I became the culprit of this whole thing. But I experienced what happened in 1789. I know that it was Frost who was hiding behind the scenes! I was used by Frost with cunning Intrigue has taken the throne. He hasn't dared to wear the crown yet, but I don't think so."

After Louis XVI wrote the above in his diary, rioting Viennese people rushed into his small workshop.

Louis XVI quickly raised his hand: "Don't shoot! I give up resistance! Long live the Republic!"

Chapter 367 Kind Carl

The Viennese crowd pushed Louis XVI to the barricades on the outermost edge of Vienna.

As the leader of the people of Vienna, Grand Duke Karl stood beside Louis XVI and shouted to the French army outside: "French soldiers! The former French King Louis XVI is here. I am the commander of the people of Vienna, Austria, Karl Ludwig Johann Lorenz! I demand a conversation with Andy Frost, Commander-in-Chief of France!"

The French army below looked at each other, and then a sergeant shouted: "Then we have to inform your Excellency, wait!"

Then some soldiers really ran back, probably to report.

Then the French soldiers began to look at Louis XVI on the barricade.

Louis XVI was embarrassed and asked Archduke Karl: "Are we just waiting?"

Karl nodded: "Yes, this can also see how efficient Frost's command organization is. If it is the Austrian command organization, he may not show up until three o'clock in the afternoon."

Louis XVI was shocked: "Will it take so long?"

"Yes. I have always suspected that the French army can make more complex tactical actions than ours and cooperate better than ours. There are other reasons besides the citizenship of soldiers. Let's take a look now."

Louis XVI: "Am I going to stand that long? Can I have something to eat first?"

At this moment, someone from the French soldiers below the barricade shouted, "Hey, Bo, where is your wife?"

This made the French soldiers excited: "Yes, why are you the only one here, where is your wife?"

"That old hag can't run away!"

"tui, I hope she doesn't surrender, then we can cut off her head and parade her on the tip of a gun!"

Louis XVI showed embarrassment: "My wife...has fallen to her death."

Grand Duke Karl immediately ordered to the people behind him: "Quickly, go and bring Queen Mary's body here."

Wilm behind him immediately said: "No, she swore to be the monarch of the Habsburg family, we cannot hand over her body to foreign countries!"

Archduke Karl: "Who recognized her accession? No, she just tried to usurp power, but failed. He is not the emperor of Austria, no. If the French want her body, we will give it."

Louis XVI could hear clearly that although his own German was very bad, he was speaking in French.

After all, French is the most honored language in the courts of Europe, even the Russians in the north speak it.

Louis XVI sighed secretly, it's a pity that the dignified queen of France has fallen into this situation.

The order of Archduke Karl was quickly carried out, and the body of Queen Mary came behind the barricade under the escort of Count Felsen of Sweden.

And at this moment, the soldiers on the French side began to shout: "Long live!"

Amidst the thunderous sound of long live, Frost's eagle flag appeared, and a man under the eagle flag was riding a tall horse, holding his head high and chest out to accept everyone's cheers.

No need to ask, it must be Frost.

The eagle flag gradually approached the barricade, and Grand Duke Karl gradually saw the face of the rider on the white horse clearly. It was Andy Frost, the commander of the French army.

Frost didn't seem to be afraid of the Austrians' sniping at all, and he walked to a place less than 50 meters from the barricade.

As long as the Austrian army shoots at this distance, Frost will inevitably die violently.

Grand Duke Karl admired Frost's courage from the bottom of his heart, and said directly: "Although I already know that you are brave, your courage can still shock me. I hope you will never meet a villain who tramples on this bravery. "

Frost smiled: "Thank you for your blessing."

Grand Duke Karl continued: "Just now, the people of Vienna have overthrown Marie Ann Varnet, who claimed to inherit the Austrian throne, and we are willing to return her husband and her body to France.

"We sincerely request that the French army stop the siege and attack on Vienna."

The senior French generals behind Frost looked at each other, including Napoleon Bonaparte, whom Grand Duke Karl was very familiar with. It seemed that the senior generals did not want to just give up the achievement of breaking through Vienna.

Frost didn't look at the senior generals behind him at all. He asked in a clear voice: "Is Austria now a country where the people decide?"

Grand Duke Karl hesitated, but after hesitating at the end of the station, he said with certainty: "Yes, Austria is now a country where the people decide."

Frost smiled: "The French people have no intention of being enemies of the Austrian people."

After Frost finished speaking, the audience was silent.

The French army looked at each other, and the soldiers and civilians of Vienna also looked at each other, as if they couldn't believe that the war was over.

Then, the hungry and tired French army began to cheer first: "Long live! Long live peace! Long live the people of Vienna!"

Seeing this, the Viennese also began to shout: "Long live peace, long live France!"

And there was a Viennese citizen who took out a musical instrument—Vienna, the capital of music, it is normal for citizens to order musical instruments.

Amid the cheerful music, the Viennese citizens on the barricades danced, and some girls jumped off the barricades, pulled up the French soldiers they saw, and started circling.

Karl was very moved, and he didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He took Louis XVI—now he should be called Louis Capet—by the hand, and said flexibly, "Look, what a touching scene!"

Louis Capet was speechless: "Yes, yes, moved, I am very moved. Moved, really moved."

As he spoke, he touched his still-surviving head.

"Ah, touched." He muttered, sat down slumped, and looked at the joyful crowd.

At this time, a French soldier said to the girl dancing with him: "We haven't eaten for a few days, can we..."

The girl immediately shouted: "Everyone! The French army hasn't eaten for a few days!"

"I have bread!" someone shouted at once.

The crowd in Vienna was very enthusiastic and brought out their own food.On the buildings on both sides of the barricade, citizens kept throwing down baskets containing food.

Grand Duke Karl said to Wilm: "Hurry up and arrange supplies for the French army!"

"I'll do it right now."

At this time, the French and the Viennese exclaimed together.

It turned out that His Excellency General Frost climbed up the barricade with his bare hands and stood in front of Archduke Karl.

"I knew that you would come to our side." Frost held out his hand to Archduke Karl, "Actually, in our original plan, we planned to let Napoleon fight with you to boost your reputation by swindling a defeat. To think that you don't need this kind of work at all."

Grand Duke Karl held Frost's hand with a complex expression: "You may not believe it, I didn't intend to usurp power at all, but the situation forced me to choose a less bad choice among several bad choices .

"You won't believe how ridiculous the process of me standing here is!"

Frost laughed loudly: "Why don't I believe it? I have experienced even more bizarre processes! Anyway, now you are standing here as the leader of the People's Austria. I want to remind you that after that your brother You will definitely fight back, and what awaits you is likely to be civil war and continuous assassinations and coups."

Grand Duke Karl also lowered his face: "I know, just look at the process of the French revolution. In fact, I just want to prevent my aunt from becoming queen. If my brother comes back-I mean, if he asks for it properly , he is also the emperor of the Austrians."

Chapter 368 The defeat of the first anti-French alliance

(In fact, the original idea was that Franz ran away and organized an army in Bohemia, but was captured by the Bohemians. But when I was writing, I thought it would be great to be captured by cavalry , I was able to brush up the image of Pomura. I did that. And then I forgot, the original idea was still in my mind... Hey, this is the drawback of the brain-scratching author)

An Ning frowned, he couldn't believe that Carl actually planned to spare his brother Franz.

What did you say that when my brother came back, he would still be the emperor of the Austrians...

An Ning: "Your brother has already signed the edict of surrender and surrendered to us. Now that you return the throne to him, I am afraid that all the people of Vienna will not agree."

Carl was silent: "He... really signed it? I thought it was false information concocted by you."

"Then I bring him here?"
