King's Landing in France

"Only by overthrowing privilege can we really change our situation! Citizens, arm up! To Les Invalides!"

After An Ning finished speaking, many people shouted together: "Go to the Invalides!"

"Down with privilege!"

The crowd surrounded An Ning and began to march towards the Invalides.

At this time, An Ning encountered a problem: he didn't know how to get to Les Invalides. He had lived in Paris for five years, and he was only familiar with the terrain around the Paris Military Academy. I am familiar with it.

But the Les Invalides, this is beyond the scope of An Ning's cognition. In fact, An Ning usually travels in Paris by taxi.

He had no idea how to get from the Palais Royal to the Invalides.

Now he is just being surrounded by the crowd and can't decide where to go at all.

——Everyone should know how to get to the Invalides, right?

An Ning could only think so.

Don't worry, it will be funny when a group of people get lost in the huge city of Paris.

At this moment, An Ning suddenly saw Fan Ni coming out of the house. Fan Ni glanced at An Ning, pouted her lips lightly, then turned around and began to walk quickly.

It looks like Fanny intends to lead the way for An Ning.

It was a great help.

When they arrived at the Invalides, the guards guarding the Invalids looked very nervous, and they seemed a little shaken when they saw the black crowd rushing over.

At this time, the officer in charge of the Guards ordered loudly: "All raise your guns! Don't panic!"

The soldiers raised their guns, and a row of black muzzles pointed at the dark crowd.

An Ning yelled, "Stop!"

He pushed away those who stood in front of him and strode to the front of the line.

The officer took a step forward and said to An Ning, "Are you the leader of this group? Disband them immediately! Go home!"

An Ning pushed the officer away, casually pointed to a guard soldier and asked, "What do you do at home?"

The soldier hesitated, and replied, "It's a carpenter, sir."

"Very well, you are a carpenter and son, what about you?"

He pointed to the soldier next to him.

This time the soldier replied immediately: "My family is a tailor."

"Good job, tailor! And you?"

"Mason, sir."

"Okay! Look at you, you are the sons of carpenters, tailors and masons, and now you point your guns at carpenters, tailors and masons like you! The same third class, why point the gun at your own Fellow countrymen? Just because of an order from a nobleman of the second rank?"

The aristocratic officer saw that the situation was not good, and immediately lowered his command: "Don't be fooled by him! Soldiers take obedience to orders as their bounden duty! Now I order you, shoot! Shoot immediately!"

An Ning stood her ground, facing the black guns of the guards.

Although he knew the history, it was still a bit hypocritical at this time.

He basically pretended to be fearless, but in fact, he was extremely nervous inside, and the adrenal glands secreting a lot almost made his heart break through the shackles of his chest and rush to freedom.

At this moment, the carpenter soldier put down his gun first.

The officer said angrily: "What are you doing? I order you to raise your gun!"

The carpenter soldier shook his head: "No, I recognize this gentleman, he is Andy Frost, a nobleman killer, a hero to our civilians. I can't shoot him."

An Ning thought to herself, how the hell do you know me?Why am I so famous?

Can I not be so famous!

The other soldiers also put down their guns.

The officer was furious and drew his long sword directly: "I order you to raise your guns!"

"No, I..." The carpenter soldier glanced at his companions, and seemed to have gained courage from them, so he said firmly, "I refuse! I can't shoot my fellow citizens!"

The officer was so angry that he blew his beard. He took a step forward and was about to stab the soldier in the shoulder with the sword in his hand, but An Ning took a step forward, directly grabbed the officer's arm holding the sword, and disarmed him!

The crowd was now excited, howling and rushing forward, disarming the remaining sergeants.

Soldiers who refused to fire on the crowd were pushed aside, and people poured into the courtyard of the Invalides.

An Ning shouted: "Go to the cellar! The weapons are in the cellar!"

"This way!" Someone immediately found the way to the cellar, "The door is locked!"

"I'm a locksmith! I'll pick the lock!" Someone immediately volunteered.

Moments later, the gates were thrown open and the crowd poured into the cellar.

Masses of weapons were brought out of the cellars and distributed to everyone.

"There are still cannons!" Someone shouted excitedly, "Come on a few people, help us push the cannons out!"

At this time, Desmoulins, who first dragged Anning into this vortex, said loudly: "Frost is the artillery officer! Let him command the cannon!"

An Ning wanted to help her forehead.

Oh my god, when the Bastille was captured, the cannon was commanded by the owner of a laundry shop named Yu Lan, because Yu Lan didn't know how to use cannons, so the cannons didn't play any role in the capture of the Bastille.

Is it going to be me now?

Finally, the Bastille was breached. The soldiers guarding the Bastille mutinied and stopped the Marquis Delaunay who wanted to ignite the gunpowder and die together.

Before the mutiny of the soldiers, the Marquis Delaunay saw that the situation was over and had decided to surrender, but he proposed a conditional surrender, which was rejected by the people.

That is why the Marquis threatened to light the powder.

In short, the storming of the Bastille was carried out without the people breaking through the defenses.

But now, with Anning, a professional artillery officer commanding the artillery, the situation may be different... After all, the Bastille is not a bastion that can resist shelling, but an old-fashioned castle that is not very resistant to artillery...

—Forget it, don’t want to worry about it, I’m tired, destroy it, hurry up.

Resigned to her fate, An Ning raised her hand: "Okay! I am the artillery officer, and I will command the cannon!"

Chapter 071 The Beginning of a New Era

At this time, An Ning had a lot in common with a certain Li Yuanhong who had been kicked out of the shelves.

It is said that a person's fate is closely related to the course of history, and now he believes it.

An Ning stands in this position now, without any personal efforts, it was all pushed up by the process of history.

But since you are in this position, just do your job well.

An artillery officer must be more accurate in shooting artillery than the real laundry owner in history.

But An Ning remembered that the cannons at the Invalides seemed to have no ammunition, so everyone thought about going to the Bastille to ask for gunpowder and ammunition.

At this moment, a few men in trousers came out pushing the ammunition cart.

Okay, since the Space-Time Invalides has shells, then there is no reason to go to the Bastille?

At this time, a man with a gun asked loudly, "Where should we go?"

"Yeah, where should I go?"

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, apparently they had no idea what to do next.

So all eyes fell on An Ning again.

An Ning was in trouble. Historically, this group of people went to the Bastille to find gunpowder for the cannon—because it was rumored that the Bastille had a lot of gunpowder and ammunition.

Later, the cannon with shells pushed by Yu Lan, the owner of the laundry shop, was seized from other places, not from the Les Invalides by the main force who attacked the Bastille.

At this moment, the entire ammunition vehicle was seized directly, so there was no need to worry about gunpowder and ammunition at all.

So the question is, what to do next?

An Ning pondered, there was no reason to go to the Bastille, so they couldn't just drive to the Palace of Versailles, right?

At this time, a strong man slapped his thigh: "Why are you hesitating, our goal is to rescue the National Assembly in Versailles! Let's go to Versailles! Shoot the Swiss mercenaries and rescue the representatives from the imprisonment of the Swiss mercenaries come out!"

An Ning was shocked, was the attack on the Bastille going to be an attack on the Palace of Versailles?Will there be a seamless connection to the public trial of the king next, taking an unimagined path?

No, no, it can't be like this, and history will be derailed.

Moreover, the [-] Swiss mercenaries are all regular troops, and the people like me probably won't be able to beat them.

The victory of the Swiss mercenaries against the people may strengthen the confidence of Louis XVI and strengthen the determination of the locksmith king to suppress it by force.

No, it can't be like this.

An Ning stood on the cannon and shouted loudly: "We can't go to Versailles. There are [-] Swiss troops in Versailles. Fighting them in the past was just sacrifices in vain! We should go to the Bastille!"

The crowd looked at each other.

"The Bastille? Why go to the Bastille?"

"What has it to do with the Bastille?"

At this time, An Ning's brain was spinning rapidly, making up reasons for going to the Bastille, and soon he thought of: "Citizens! The Bastille is a symbol of royal power, and Voltaire was imprisoned in this prison!

"If His Majesty arrests progressives, he will definitely be imprisoned in the Bastille! It is said that there are guard soldiers who have mutinied, and they will also be imprisoned there!

"We attacked the Bastille, first to rescue them! Second, to destroy this symbol of royal power. Through this action, tell the king that we no longer recognize his royal power!"

After An Ning finished speaking, she wanted to give herself a slap in the face, what was the point of talking, it was too far-fetched.

But the crowd cheered, and they seemed to hear only the last sentence "We have denied his kingship."

People shouted in response to Anning: "Go to the Bastille!"

"The Bastille!"

"I don't like that fortress!"

The crowd began to move again, and many men in trousers worked together to push the cannon and the ammunition cart.

An Ning was lazy and sat directly on the ammunition cart, and no one said anything to him.

The brigade set out from the Invalides, and many armed people joined the team along the way.

Whenever a newcomer appeared, there was no need for An Ning to speak. Everyone would scramble to shout: "Everyone, let's go to the Bastille together!"

Generally speaking, those armed people just joined the team in such a dazed manner, and occasionally a few would ask: "Why is it the Bastille, what is there?"

Then they will get a variety of answers, and the more normal ones are to reproduce An Ning's words, saying that there is a symbol of royal power, and that they can support the gentlemen of the National Assembly if they break through there.

There are also some random answers, some say that the Bastille is closed for the gentlemen of the National Assembly, some say that the king keeps mutinous Guards soldiers there, and most of all, some people answer that the Bastille is closed. With Voltaire.

How long has Voltaire been dead.

An Ning didn't bother to correct these statements at all. Anyway, the situation was already in a mess, and no one would care about it afterwards.

In short, the current task is to break the Bastille on July 7th according to the historical script, so as to ensure that history does not derail.

Finally, the brigade arrived at the gate of the Bastille.

The crowd started to shout: "Open the door!"

"Symbol of royal power, surrender to the Parisians at once!"

"Release M. Voltaire!"

An Ning heard the shout full of black lines: Damn it, I would have known that I would not have mentioned Voltaire just now!

The Marquis Delaunay, the commander of the fortress, showed his head on the city wall and shouted: "I am the Marquis Delaunay, the commander of the fortress. This prison does not imprison the people you mentioned at all!"

"You lied!" someone yelled.

"Yes, open the door and let us go in and take a look!"

"Release M. Voltaire!"

An Ning frowned, trying to grab the guy named Voltaire and slap him a few times.He even suspected that this guy shouted that on purpose.

The Marquis of Delaunay said angrily: "What bullshit! Nonsense! This is the royal prison, and I guard it by the king's order! Without the king's order, no one can enter the gate of the prison!"

An Ning thought, you deserve to die here today, you can't mention the king.

The crowd immediately became excited, and many people turned their heads to urge An Ning: "Mr. Frost, this is a lackey of the king, fire!"
