King's Landing in France
Page 69
An Ning was full of black lines, and continued: "I just happened to be in that position. Without me, someone else would stand up and lead the storming of the Bastille. The key is that the angry citizens have awakened and they want to fight for freedom. And fought.
"In fact, it was the reporter Desmoulins who first stood on the table and called on the patriots to fight. I just happened to be at the scene and knew the military, so I became the military commander of the people."
Considering that it was not easy for Beethoven and Ormons to directly say that he was pushed over by the masses, An Ning adopted this statement.
Beethoven turned his head and looked at the lyricist: "It seems that we have misunderstood."
Ormons: "We thought it was you raising your arms and shouting..."
"It's not me, so if you say that, don't you snatch the glory of Desmoulins and the glory of those citizens who rose up? Remove me and focus the lyrics on emphasizing the people, emphasizing the patriots.
"The best point of view of the lyrics is that a patriot stepped onto the podium, calling on patriots like himself to stand up and defend freedom."
Beethoven looked deeply moved: "The center of gravity is the people, the center of gravity is the people! Speaking of which, I have never written a song praising the people. Listening to your words, I wake up like a dream!"
The poet also nodded: "When I first wrote lyrics, I also thought about writing an ode. I never thought that the target of the song would be the people themselves. Yes, think about it carefully, the reason why this revolution is great is because the people , Patriots rise up, they are the protagonists."
After hearing what these two said, An Ning breathed a sigh of relief—damn it, the Marseillaise almost became a song of praise for me, which is a crime.
The original meaning of the lyrics has been changed, maybe it will not be so contagious when singing him as a battle in the future.
Just as An Ning was thinking, Sean Ponter, the male lead singer of the troupe, started to applaud, followed by Joel, the female lead singer. After a while, everyone applauded vigorously, applauding and looking at An Ning with adoring eyes.
An Ning was very surprised: What the hell am I doing?
Sean Ponter: "Your Majesty the Lion! How noble you are, to regard fame as dung!"
Beethoven looked greatly moved: "You are greater than I imagined, even if you stop me, I must write an ode to you."
No, wait for me!
In real history, it seems that Beethoven really wrote an ode to a person in the era of the Great Revolution, and that individual was named Napoleon.
Hey guys, is the "Eroica" supposed to be written for me?
No, the "Eroica" was written when Beethoven was in his 30s, and it is a sign of the full maturity of his compositional style.
Now Beethoven is still a 20-year-old young man, and he is still very immature in composition. I don't know what he will come up with.
Ormons: "Going to change the lyrics now, it should be soon."
After speaking, he turned his head and ran towards the preparation room, took two steps and remembered something, turned his head and said, "By the way, you can throw away the lyrics just now, I will prepare new lyrics for you as soon as I finish writing them."
Sean Ponte waved his hand: "No, let's use this to familiarize ourselves with the melody first, and we can sing it immediately after you finish changing the words we changed."
Ormons nodded, and then left with confidence.
Beethoven: "Let me play the melody for everyone!"
As he spoke, he took two steps forward, came to the piano, lifted the cover, took a deep breath, and started playing.
The melody of another world mosaic immediately echoed in the small theater.
The music after Beethoven's hands seems to be more majestic, as if there are thousands of troops galloping.
When it came to the chorus, everyone in the audience sang together: "Forward! Forward! Use the dirty blood of the enemy to water our fields!"
Now maybe the entire Marseillaise has the same lyrics as in the previous time and space, only this sentence is left.
After Beethoven finished playing, the audience burst into applause again.
An Ning heard a singer sighing: "Good song, what a good song! It's full of power."
Beethoven bowed on the stage, then turned to An Ning: "What do you think, does my piece meet your expectations?"
An Ning: "It fits so well, it's perfect! You are a talented young man!"
Damn, my name is Beethoven boy, this feeling...is quite cool?
An Ning: "Then I won't disturb your rehearsal, I'll watch your performance tonight!"
Beethoven hurriedly said: "You can go to the lounge, there are coffee and afternoon tea snacks, and you can spend time there."
"Okay." An Ning said and walked towards the lounge.
※※※
That night, An Ning finally watched "The Storming of the Bastille", which has become a hot topic in Paris recently.
This play is said to be a short play, but in fact it covers a long period of time. It starts from the convening of the three-level parliament. The first scene is the famous scene of An Ning: shouting at the king, "Unless we use bayonets, we can't let us go away." ".
Immediately after the announcement on the tennis court, An Ning was the first to suggest that everyone go to the tennis court, and An Ning also proposed to directly form the National Assembly.
Finally, when the king mobilized the army to deal with the parliament with bayonets, An Ning resolutely captured the Bastille, and led the patriots in Paris to support the parliament with resolute actions...
Just watching this drama, you will feel that An Ning dominated the entire French Revolution, and there would be no French Revolution without An Ning.
In the end, when the patriots sang the new version of the Marseillaise together, although the new lyrics were no longer peaceful, the image of tranquility must be lingering in the minds of those who have just watched the drama.
This drama is popular in Paris, no wonder the crowd shouted An Ning's name so frantically during the Liberty Day.
After watching the drama, An Ning's heart was broken.
This play continues to be performed in Paris, and my reputation is going to break through the sky.
So he went to the backstage to find Beethoven and other main creators: "Your play is too inconsistent with the facts. Let me tell you the real process!"
Then An Ning told the whole process from the beginning without any concealment.
Then Beethoven shook his head and said, "I know you are very humble, but this is too much. How could you be forcibly carried into the Bastille? Even if you said it yourself, I can't believe it!"
The playwright also said: "We interviewed a lot of witnesses, and this play was written based on their accounts. Do you actually want to say that those witnesses are exaggerating?"
They are exaggerating!
Sean Ponter came out to smooth things over: "Okay, at most we will come out and say something at the curtain call after the play, saying that this play is adapted from many people who have witnessed it, and there may be exaggerations. Humility is a virtue, we should Satisfy Mr. Frost's request."
I'm not humble... Forget it, I'm tired, let me destroy it.
An Ning gave up.
Anyway, I'm going to go to the Conta to hide. If Paris is famous, it doesn't matter.
Chapter 113 What is continuous card draw SSR?
The tired An Ning waved his hand: "Okay, do whatever you want, I'm a little tired, and I'm going back to my manor."
Beethoven took a step forward and grabbed An Ning's hand: "After Ormons and I finally finished this song, what should it be called?"
An Ning frowned. To be honest, he is not good at naming names. He gets dizzy when he mentions names, and the melody of this song is originally a Marseillaise, so he simply replied: "Let's call him Marseillaise. "
Beethoven was shocked: "Why is it called Marseillaise?"
An Ning: "Because this is the first time I thought of the melody of this song when I was drinking Bouillabaisse."
Beethoven: "It's called a Marseillaise just because of this? What a joke!"
An Ning scratched her head. It was obvious that Beethoven and the others admired her so much, so why couldn't their performance follow suit?
Probably because he is Beethoven.
There is no way, An Ning can only think again: "This..."
Suddenly, he had a brilliant idea, so he slapped his thigh and said, "Call it Ode to Rome! Awakened citizens will rebuild a new Rome on the land of France. Awakened citizens are new Roman citizens!"
Beethoven thought for a while and smiled: "Good! That's a good name! Citizens, arm up and defend the new Rome!"
An Ning nodded. He didn't tell Beethoven that he thought of the name Roman Ode, which had another meaning.
Rome later became emperor with a military dictator, as would the First French Republic.
And I also know this future emperor.
At that time, Beethoven angrily reprimanded Nahuang, and he could still persuade the fight from the sidelines, and maintain a good friend relationship with this music saint for the rest of his life.
Beethoven paced back and forth excitedly: "Ode to Rome, Ode to Rome! Then the arrangement of this song needs to be changed, to be more magnificent, and to add more Roman-style instruments!"
An Ning: "That's your composer's business. I can't control it. I'm going back to my manor. Come to the manor to find me when you're done. I'll greet my little maid. No need to write in advance."
In this day and age, when visiting others, one must first ask a servant to deliver a letter, otherwise it is impolite, so An Ning saves some trouble by saying this.
Beethoven: "Okay! I will definitely go!"
An Ning nodded, turned and left the theater.
Outside the theater there were many people chatting after the opera. Someone recognized An Ning and shouted: "Lion of the Bastille, long live!"
An Ning could only smile and wave in response.
At this time, the servant of the theater led An Ning's big white horse out, and he jumped on the horse before the crowd surrounded him, and rode away.
※※※
It was already late at night when we returned to the manor.
As always, Fanny waited for An Ning to return at the gate of the manor with a lantern.
As soon as An Ning stopped in front of the door, Fanny came up to lead the horse.
An Ning: "You don't have to wait for me at the door yourself, there are so many servants in our family now!"
"I am your personal maid, of course I have to wait. By the way, sir, you are already a general, why don't you assign yourself an orderly? When other generals go out, they are all surrounded by you. Why do you Always alone?"
An Ning: "Because I'm almost a bare-bones commander. I don't have a single serious officer under my command except for the ladies of the cavalry team. I can't take a bunch of big soldiers as my followers, right?
"But an orderly can make one."
Speaking of this, An Ning suddenly came up with an association. Her current name is a magician on the battlefield, which is the same name as Yang Weili in "Legend of the Galactic Heroes". Does that mean that my adopted son Julian should also appear on the stage?
And my Felicity plus...
At this time, Fanny said: "By the way, you have a visitor today. He has been waiting in your study for a long time, and he doesn't seem to wait until you don't plan to go to the guest room to rest."
An Ning: "Who is it?"
"His reported name is Lazar Kano."
An Ning had given the horse to Fanny and was about to enter the gate of the manor, but she staggered and almost fell into the mud.
Lazar Cano? The "organizer of victory", the fierce man who worked on the military reform of revolutionary France and brought together a standing army of 70 for the reform?
This person was so capable that when Napoleon proclaimed himself emperor, he voted against it, but in the end he continued to hold an important position—because Napoleon was too capable to replace him.
During the period of the Republic, the royalist party was in power briefly after Jacobin. This guy was exiled because he supported the republic. As a result, he died as soon as he left the French army and was beaten by the anti-French alliance.
After the coup d'état, Napoleon quickly invited him back from exile and let him continue to preside over the army building.
In short, this is a tough man who is so fierce that he can be on Little John's hardcore show.
Fanny looked at An Ning suspiciously: "Why do you show such an expression as if you saw a noble lady without clothes?"
An Ning quickly wiped her face, restraining her idiotic expression.
"Where is this Mr. Carnot? In the study? Well, I'll see him right away!"
Fanny was even more confused: "Is this Mr. Kano famous?"
"It's not very famous yet," An Ning said, "but he's an officer, isn't he?"
"Yes, he introduced himself as a captain who graduated from the Military Engineering Academy."
"Look, we're hunting for officers now, and then the officers come."
An Ning strode towards the main house of the manor, not hiding her eagerness at all.
Fanny was going to lead the horse to the stable, so she didn't follow, but she looked at An Ning's back with strange eyes.
※※※
As soon as An Ning arrived at the study, she saw a captain in the uniform of an engineer officer standing up.
After careful examination, An Ning confirmed that this was the Lazar Kano mentioned in Nahuang's biography, and he looked almost the same as the illustration in the book.
"Hello, General Frost." Kano said, "I'm sorry for your sudden visit. I'm Lazar Kano..."
"I know you! You are a top student at the French Academy of Military Engineering, and you are a mathematician!" An Ning said like a treasure, "Did you come to me because you plan to vote for me?"
Kano was a little confused by An Ning's enthusiasm, he nodded: "Yes, I do have such thoughts."
"Can I ask why?" An Ning asked, although he wanted to say "Okay, great, you are my Minister of War" to hire him directly and entrust him with important tasks, but the process still needs to go through, otherwise others will suspicious.
Cano said with some embarrassment: "I was going to be sent to Calais as a representative of the Legislative Assembly, but my friend Robespierre recommended me to come to you to find a job. He said that you need experience now. Rich officer."
It was only then that An Ning remembered that Lazar Cano and Robespierre were good friends, because around 1780 Lazar Cano was sent to Arras, where Robespierre’s hometown was, and where he had always been. Where it worked until 1789.
Lazar Cano took out a letter: "This is a letter of introduction from Robespierre."
