King's Landing in France

After the words fell, the hussars behind La Salle cheered together: "That's right!"

"Hail to you for your courage!"

Well, it seems that there are rumors outside that An Ning charged 4 enemies single-handedly. Maybe it was rumored that he killed [-] people in Lafayette by himself.

An Ning: "Welcome to join us. Let me tell you the truth, we are very short of cavalry now, very short!"

In this era, the communication between reconnaissance and troops basically relied on cavalry, and the number of cavalry determined to a certain extent how large an army could control.

Without cavalry, troops would be blind.

La Salle: "Now you have the cavalry. If you need it, I can also write to several cavalry officers I know well to persuade them to bring troops here!"

An Ning: "Then please!"

La Salle saluted An Ning again, and then he seemed to finally be unable to bear the craving for cigarettes. He picked up the cigarette holder, took a big drag, and then exhaled a smoke ring with a satisfied face.

After taking a sip, Lasalle said again: "By the way, I heard that your cavalry are all ladies. I wonder if I would be honored to meet you?"

An Ning suddenly became alert.

Damn, the hussar with the worst military discipline asked where the female soldiers were as soon as they arrived. Is this a pig looking for a cabbage arch?

An Ning: "I'm very short of cavalry right now, and every cavalry is a valuable force to me. Don't make my cavalry drop out for non-combat, La Salle!"

Lasalle laughed out loud, and even the hussars behind him laughed too, as if An Ning had just had a humorous moment.

After laughing, La Salle waved his pipe and said to An Ning: "Don't worry, General Frost, our hussars are only interested in good wine and fighting the enemy! I can't wait any longer. When will you go to Paris? And Bouye's royalist army, as well as the Austrians and Prussians, you lead us to kill them all!"

Good guy, this guy is still a war mad attribute?

An Ning wanted to help her forehead, but always felt that she had accepted a troublemaker.

An Ning: "Don't worry, there will be battles in the future. If my guess is correct, there will be continuous turmoil in the future, and soon there will be too many battles to make people tired."

La Salle was overjoyed: "That would be great!"

Damn, did this war madman actually say that was too good?

Then La Salle spoke his signature line to An Ning: "I always thought that a hussar who lived past the age of 30 was a complete bastard! So you can use me as much as you want, and send me to the most dangerous place. Go somewhere, let me dance with Death!"

An Ning wanted to help his forehead: "No, no, your first task is reconnaissance, and the hussars are an important reconnaissance force."

La Salle: "Of course, it also includes reconnaissance! Hahaha, leave it to me! But now there is an important problem. My brothers and I ran hundreds of miles to join you. Now we need to rest. I should go to Who wants the barracks?"

An Ning turned to Lazar Kano and said, "Arrange a barracks for him, and be careful to stay away from the female soldiers."

Lazar Kano nodded, and then took a step forward: "Come with me, I'll take you to the barracks."

Then Kano went to the hitching post, untied his horse, got on his horse and left the monastery.

The hussars saluted An Ning and then left.

An Ning watched this magnificent troop leave rumblingly, and let out a long sigh.

La Salle is a very good cavalry officer. If he is in command of a cavalry brigade, there should be no better person than him during the entire Revolution.

Not even Murat can compare with him.

But the problem is that Murat has the talent of a marshal, and La Salle does not have this talent.As long as he commanded more than one division, problems would arise.

So in real history, although he met Napoleon very early, and made great achievements under Napoleon's command-in the decisive battle of Rivoli, La Salle had just left Adige with two regiments of six or seven hundred hussars. [-] Austrian troops in the valley, then, with the cooperation of artillery under Napoleon's own command, forced the enemy back into the valley.

But such a fierce general did not get the rank of marshal until his death, and the highest was only a major general.

So Napoleon also saw that this person could only be a cavalry unit commander.

Familiar with the tranquility of all this, of course he knows how to use La Salle.

However, they are all famous French generals who are famous for their cavalry. An Ning hopes to get Murat more than La Salle.

An Ning was thinking about this kind of thing, watching all the hussars disappear outside the monastery gate, then he turned around, only to see the painter David drawing something with a sketchbook.

An Ning: "What are you painting?"

David: "I'm recording history. 'General Frost meets his future cavalry commander', what do you think?"

An Ning: "How can you be sure that he is my cavalry commander?"

"Because he looks like a typical hussar, rude, reckless, and heroic." David smiled, "Don't you think?"

An Ning also smiled: "Yes. But the cavalry commander of my dreams has not arrived yet. I will let you know when I find him."

David: "I look forward to it!"

An Ning: "Let's go back and continue drawing your picture!"

"Okay!" David was full of energy.

At this moment, Beethoven rode into the monastery.

"General Frost! I finished that piece of music! Please listen to it!"

An Ning looked at Beethoven: "Okay, come in, it happens that no one uses my piano here."

Chapter 151 Berthier's Joining

When Beethoven got off his horse and entered the room, he was still chattering about his creative insights.

"I tried my best to use music to express your fearless spirit when you rushed to [-] enemy troops..."

An Ning: "[-] to [-], not [-]."

"I'm sorry for your fearlessness when you charged towards the enemy, and I made the music more brisk, because I feel that you were very brisk when you rushed out, without any psychological burden, as if you didn't pay attention to tens of thousands of enemies !"

At this time, the painter David interrupted Beethoven's narration: "Did you see the moment when General Frost rushed towards the enemy?"

Beethoven: "I saw it. At that time, I was in the general's camp, which was the campsite the night before the battle. It was only more than 100 meters away from the front line! I saw the general single-handedly rushing towards the enemy all over the mountains and plains!"

David: "Oh that's great, then I'm going to listen to your song too, it helps me imagine that scene!"

Beethoven: "Yes! Come on!"

Then Beethoven walked forward excitedly, and came to the piano in the side hall of the monastery with ease.

This side hall was originally used for choir singing, but now it is not used. Occasionally, An Ning will listen to Beethoven's new music here.

Beethoven tried a few notes and confirmed that the piano was in good condition, so he took a deep breath and started to play.

An Ning frowned when she heard the prelude.

He is too familiar with this melody. The first time he heard this melody, he was still watching the old movie "Tank Armageddon". The movie told the story of the American side during the Ardennes counterattack.

There are also some descriptions on the German side, including a scene where the commander of the German Vanguard Armored Brigade inspects his "recruits". They stamped their feet together and sang a German military song.

Only later did An Ning know that this song was called the Song of the Armored Soldiers.

Yes, Beethoven wrote the Panzer Song.

An Ning wanted to help her. Could it be that the songs created by these famous musicians are actually card draws, ready-made music from a music library?

That shouldn't be the case, why did you sing a song praising the French general, and picked a German tune...

Wait a minute, Beethoven is German!

Although there is no Germany yet, he is a German speaker!

Suddenly it makes sense!

Fortunately, France is not the French chicken that came later, otherwise the French present would probably habitually raise their hands when this song was played.

There was An Ning, a fake Frenchman, and a real Frenchman. He was obviously very intoxicated when he heard the melody, and he even beat the time with the melody.

As Beethoven played, he beat the rhythm with the foot that was not on the pedal, making this piece more like a movie scene in An Ning's memory.

That's all, he turned to An Ning and asked, "What do you think?"

An Ning nodded: "Very good, brisk, and full of fearlessness. Has the name of this song been decided yet?"

"No, I call him March No. [-]."

An Ning: "How about I name the song?"

"Of course, this is a song in praise of you, you can call it whatever you want!" Beethoven said decisively.

An Ning: "Let's call him the March of the Hussars. I think he fits the temperament of the Hussars very well. What about the lyrics? I hope it becomes a song that can be sung."

The original song An Ning has completely forgotten what the lyrics are, and I just remember that there is a sentence that is "Only the loyal chariot will give us a steel grave".

Beethoven: "Not yet, I haven't had time to show it to my partner."

An Ning: "Complete the song as soon as possible. It just so happens that we just got a bunch of hussars, so let's treat it as a gift for them."

Beethoven looked embarrassed: "This is a song in praise of you. I originally wanted to call him the great General Frost on the march, but changed it to praise the hussars... No, you think so, so that's fine!"

It looks like Beethoven convinced himself.

An Ning stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't get me wrong, it's not that I don't like this song..."

"I know, you don't want us to praise your bravery, you are always so humble! But modesty can't ignore the facts!"

An Ning: "No, listen to me, I think songs are also a kind of combat power! You see Roman hymns, soldiers singing Roman hymns on the battlefield will double their courage!

"I hope this song, which is so great, does the same! I hope it inspires my soldiers and gives them courage!

"The current situation is very pessimistic. General Buye is ready to move in the northeast, and foreign forces are also gearing up. We must use everything we can to mobilize against the enemy."

When An Ning said this, she felt like she was fooling a young success tutor.

Beethoven is indeed a young man now.

But before Beethoven made a statement, the painter David next to him—he was older than An Ning—moved and said: "Great, you are still thinking about France! Thinking about the future of the country!"

An Ning was a little speechless, wondering whether he would be praised for everything he did now.

Don't do this, please calm down.

At this moment, Lazar Kano appeared at the door of the room and knocked lightly.

An Ning: "Kano, you're back. Are the hussars settled down?"

"Settle down. I didn't come to report this. I came because Berthier, who is under house arrest in the monastery, just told his watchers that he wanted to see you."

An Ning slapped the table hard: "Great! He is finally willing to join us!"

Beethoven: "Isn't Berthier that Lafayette's chief of staff?"

"Yes, he is the best chief of staff I have ever seen, so I plan to recruit him." An Ning said.

Painter David: "How dare you use your former enemy?"

An Ning: "I hope that talented people can join me!"

David let out an "oh", and he didn't know what he came up with.

An Ning ignored him and said to Lazar Kano, "Let's go there quickly."

Beethoven: "Wait a minute, Berthier is here as Chief of Staff, what about Mr. Carnot?"

Lazar Cano: "I'm not very good at marching and fighting..."

An Ning interrupted Kano's self-effacement: "I have already decided that if Berthier joins us and serves as the chief of staff, I will set up a post of director of military supplies, at the same level as the chief of staff, responsible for the recruitment, reorganization and The purchase of logistics materials, I think Lazar will play an important role in this aspect!"

Kano: "I'll do my best."

An Ning nodded, and strode out of the side hall.

※※※

Berthier was placed under house arrest in a suite in the monastery, where he was provided with delicious food and drink.

When An Ning entered the suite, Berthier was pacing back and forth in the room.

Seeing An Ning coming in, he immediately stopped and saluted An Ning respectfully: "General Frost, good morning."

An Ning: "Good morning. As soon as I heard that you wanted to see me, I came here immediately."

Berthier frowned slightly: "I can't understand why you care so much about me, I'm a nobleman!"

An Ning: "You are a military aristocrat, and your father is also a military engineer. I think you are different from those nobles who suck people's blood.

"In my army, there are many such nobles, such as Davout, he is my favorite general!"

Berthier was about to say something when he saw Lazare Carnot enter.

Faced with embarrassment, he held back for a moment before saying: "But you already have a chief of staff, and you let me be the chief of staff..."
