Andrew, who returned to the instructor's residence, spent another sleepless night. Unfortunately, this was the beginning of another series of honors and troubles.

From the third day after Andrew came to Paris, the official residence of the Balas, which was already busy, became even more lively.

Countless carriages came, and they were holding representatives of all kinds of real power factions in Paris. The three giants in power were tolerant, Plains, and Royalists and their old nobles. They either stayed quietly in the carriage, waiting for the reception of the owner of the small building, or walked to other parties, greeted each other in an elegant posture, and continued their dirty political transactions in the carriage;

Several leaders of the poor also came. They did not have carriages, but they marched all the way with the revolutionary masses, scattered outside the door, shouting in various accents, shouting slogans, and demanding that the mountain general appear. Because many women in dresses were present, the atmosphere became extremely lively. Men and women were playing and joking with each other, making faces at the carriage owner, or talking loudly about someone's dirty jokes.

General Andrew, who always wanted to have a good sleep, was awakened by various slogans early on. He just covered himself with a blanket and blocked his ears but was pulled from the bed by Balas.

Meetings and speeches began to become the main daily tasks of Oriental people.

It seems very simple and easy to send someone with a carriage. First, the guest and the guest complimented each other, then talked about topics that everyone was interested in, and then made promises to each other that they didn’t even know whether they were true or not. Finally, in a warm and friendly atmosphere, they had breakfast, lunch, or supper, and left.

But it would be much more trouble to evade the poor revolutionary leaders downstairs and their supporters. Due to the large number of people, Balas just wanted to invite several poor party leaders to enter, but they were sternly rejected. The people's representatives claimed that they were on behalf of 450,000 Parisian citizens to visit General Andrew (the other 50,000 were the objects despised by the masses, of course not included), rather than visiting the luxurious residence of the Commissioner Balas. The declaration once again won loud cheers from the people, but made the thick-skinned owner of the small building in a mess and fled back to the official residence in shame.

So, Andrew, who was talking to various factions in secret, was pushed to the front stage from time to time. Because he was afraid of being "ravaged" again by the fanatical masses, the general had to walk to the balcony on the third floor, faced the audience, and delivered improvised speeches again and again. As the evening approached, the mountain general who was unable to do anything, finally stood there. He stood stupidly on a high place, and scraped his stomach for a while. Looking at the countless crowds that were almost crazy, Satan was supreme. In desperation, Andrew finally suddenly appeared inspiration. After a little contemplation, he began to chant loudly:

“Life is precious.

Love is more expensive,

If it is for freedom,

Both can be thrown away!"

This is the most famous poem "Freedom and Love" in the 19th century. It was written by Hungarian revolutionary poet Petofi (1823-1849) shortly after his newlywed in 1847. Before the Hungarian Revolution in 1848, Petofi played a leading role in the Hungarian literary world. He enthusiastically supported the French Revolution, angrily denounced the current situation of Hungarian society, and criticized the privileges of the nobles and royal families. His poems were full of political enthusiasm, and "Arise, the Hungarians", written on the eve of the revolution, became an ode to the revolution. During the revolution, he served as an adjutant to General Bem Yurov, the commander of the Transvasini troops. He was killed in the Battle of Segesval on July 31, 1849.

The general recited "Freedom and Love" in a striking manner on the balcony, and then and the audience was also crazy and sang in different tones. Immediately, the chanting became a chorus, from the swamp area to Saint-Anton, from Paris to Marseille, from France to Europe, Europe to all the world's people who were inclined to revolution were singing this famous poem "created" by General Andrew.

Of course, the young man on the balcony did not understand that he accidentally plagiarized his works from later generations, and was so popular among the public. "Freedom and Love" was spread to the Principality of Weimar. Goethe, who was creating the magnificent historical masterpiece "Faust", resolutely gave up his work and was preparing to run from the Rhine to the Seine River just to visit the revolutionaries; Beethoven, who was still studying music in Vienna, was amazed after hearing it, and that night he was for "Freedom and Love".

Love wrote a beautiful tune, and the next day he asked someone to send it to Paris, accompanied by a six-page letter, which described his admiration for the mountain general; when Andrew fought in the European battlefield and was surrounded by a large "freedom tree" everywhere, the general was surprised to find that the poor men from all over the country were singing "Freedom and Love", carrying various hoes and sickles, welcomed the arrival of the yellow-skinned commander, and helped the free French army drive away the nobles and priests who were bullying themselves.

…

After nightfall, after watching, listening, and enjoying General Andrew's wonderful performance, all kinds of people were experiencing satisfaction, and in the darkness, they moved away reluctantly as the women's chests and butts.

Finally, Andrew returned to the room and met another group of admirers, a member of the Public Security Committee, plus his orderly and his attendants. Looking at the smiles of the wolf-like grandmother, the poor general knew that he would plagiarize his masterpieces from later generations. Then he spent more than an hour on the dining table to send his own audience in the building. Andrew finally locked himself in the room. But he didn't sleep, but climbed on the desk and wrote quickly. Nothing else, he was recalling the previous chapters and sentences.

Originally, Andrew wanted to translate some classic Chinese quotes, such as Tang poetry and Song lyrics, but after some hard work, he gave up. The reason is very simple. Although France is the most outstanding among all European languages, it is still too pediatric to compare with 5,000 years of cultural accumulation and profound Chinese. Only by finding simpler foreign poetry can it work. Fortunately, Zhao Kai also had a moment of popularity during his college years. In order to pursue a certain department of the foreign language department, he won the favor of the beautiful women and listened to his friends.

The introduction said that the beauty likes foreign famous poems, so Safe has recited a lot of them with painstaking efforts. The ending was that the bamboo basket was so useless. The beautiful girl still got together with the school basketball stars. She lost the east corner and won the sun, but she didn't want to be useful in the 18th century. From Petofi to Tarkovsky and Madame Bronin, from Europe to America, from the 19th to the 21st century, she copied everything she wanted. Some of her memories were very complete, while others were blurred, and Hu Gai was angrily done.

Andrew, lying on the bed, recalled a passage his father often spoke: The French were born dreamers, romanticists, and builders of utopia. They longed for ideals, pursued glory, loved fame, liked grand things, and yearned for heroic scenes. Therefore, there were so many romantic love, colorful art, trying to build the bloody revolution of heaven and the all-encompassing code on earth.

During the Great Revolution, the French bravely destroyed the old system, not only to eliminate political corruption, but also to realize the ideals expressed by the abstract theory of Enlightenment thinkers; the French pay attention to theory, and when principles do not match the facts, they will feel confused and confused. Because they prefer ideas, their actions will inevitably be restrained and naturally indecisive; when principles and facts are seriously conflicted and decisions are needed, the French would rather stick to principles and sacrifice their actual interests; the French pay attention to ideas and believe in theory, so they firmly demand clarity and accuracy of thinking. When a thing that explains is confusing, they will feel as uncomfortable as if they are sick. And the French philosopher Descartes, the 17th century, was the initiator of the distinctive personality of this nation.

…

In the following days, Andrew was obviously afraid of going out, and there were always groups of unpopular trousers wandering outside the door, so he had to stay in the small building, enjoying wine with visitors, or running to the room to read books. The person he was most afraid of seeing never appeared. When Mrs. Leise returned from the outskirts of Paris, Cosette was not home together. The butler's explanation was very simple: Miss, I was uncomfortable these days and wanted to stay in the suburbs for a while.

What did Balas react when he heard the reaction? The old politician asked a few words like a routine, turned around and patted Andrew on the shoulder, and told him to rest for a few more days, not to go to the Army Department for the time being, and then he was busy with other things. All this made Andrew's tightly hung heart slightly relieve, but it seemed to have a sense of loss. At least the general's poems and songs that he had prepared for a few nights were ruined.

Andrew, who had nothing to do all day long, couldn't help it, so he suggested that everyone go out for a walk. The idea was responded by his followers, and Juliss was even more cheerful. Balas was busy with government affairs and could not be separated, so he wanted to call Mrs. Rese or his nephew to accompany the general. The housekeeper refused unhappily because Andrew made the lady angry, but he did not go to apologize. The nephew of the parliamentarian, Ecreba, was the speculative merchant who had been arrested by the Paris Commune. Andrew did not dare to agree. The halo of the mountain general cannot be stuck with dirt, at least it cannot be seen by the Paris citizens. Fortunately, one of the guards had been in the capital for a while, so everyone recommended him as a guide and led a group of provinces to sneak out of the block from the back door of the official residence and wandered around.

Unlike the Chinese who came to Paris in the 21st century, Andrew in 1794 could not see the Eiffel Tower. The original site of the magnificent building that was built a hundred years later was still a place similar to a slum. Nearby there is a famous building, a nursing home for disabled soldiers. The golden dome, the building looks like an Islamic mosque, but also like a royal palace. And what Andrew really yearns for is the Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, and the Palace of Verse.

After a quick visit to all the scenic spots and monuments in the city of Paris, Oriental people felt a little sad. Except for the Palace of Verse, which was stationed by the National Guard and was slightly preserved, the other relics were damaged to a considerable extent, even more than that of the Palace of Duille. Notre Dame de Paris has become a temple of rationality, and daily mass and prayer have long been banned. In winter, citizens lack firewood to keep warm. The Paris Commune acquiesced to women to come inside to remove raw materials for fire making. Incompleteness and chaos have become new symbols of famous monasteries. Most of the rare treasures collected by the Louvre are no longer the most popular.

When I moved to my home, the stairwell of the Balás residence was also hung with Renaissance masterpieces. The huge palace left only some heavy and difficult-to-get homework idle in the empty hall, lying alone. However, there are always exceptions. The Pantheon, one of the symbols of the revolution, is listed in it, and it is preserved very well, even better than before. It was originally a church, built by Louis XV to fulfill his wish after a serious illness. After 1791, it was changed to the National Mausoleum, where the most prominent figures in France were buried. The three words "freedom, equality, and fraternity" were written directly above the ancestral hall.

Back in the carriage, Andrew was speechless, holding a half-body statue of horses in his hands. This was bought by him after visiting the Pantheon. The orderly soldiers were also thinking about it in the shaking carriage. After studying in the UK for a while, Ulissis knew that the various buildings and cultural heritages in London were preserved quite well. On the surface, Paris was more magnificent than London, but what he saw with his own eyes was mostly chaotic, which was completely different from the plot described in the book, so he turned to the general opposite to seek answers.

"This is a crazy era in a period of rationality!" Andrew looked a little depressed, looked at the restless crowd outside the window, and answered the question irrelevantly.

In the next few days, Andrew, who was depressed, did not go out again. He locked himself in the study and thought about it, and no longer met any guests. He only asked the orderly soldiers to deliver food. He didn't know what the general was thinking, nor did anyone know what the general was going to do. On the fifth day, Andrew went downstairs. In everyone's surprised eyes, he swept away his sad face.

Personal experience in Paris told Andrew that it is indeed time to preserve the fruits of revolution, rather than to continue the revolution hysterically. To complete this task, the poor people, no, they only know how to be crazy and pursue blind destruction, and France only has collapse when they handed them; the three giants, no, the leaders of the Jagbins who only know how to be tough but not compromise do not understand that politics is transactions and compromises, and cruel but incomplete suppression of all factions will instead

Send them to the guillotine; the plains are not good, and they are comfortable and enjoyable, they can only calculate their own gains and losses, but under certain conditions, they can become allies; the tolerants may be, their propositions are in line with the current national conditions, but they are too weak and have no courage to stand up and say "no". It seems that only by leading the fenceists, who are connected with allies of various factions, can they truly save France, save the revolution, and also save themselves.

At this time, Andrew had completely dissolved himself into France. His thoughts were in line with the laws of historical development and the way the fruits of revolution were preserved. Revolution was no longer hysterical, but had to return to calmness.

For more than ten days when Andrew disappeared from the public eye, Paris seemed to have been maintaining some kind of calm, but people with discerning eyes could see that these were just superficial phenomena, and there were still waves under the water. The National Convention had no objection to Andrew's absence. Andrew was just an honorary member and had the right to not come to the House to participate in politics. The general's salary was paid by the Army Department. The Army Department did not care, and the documents ordered Andrew to be the deputy minister of the Army Department were still pressed in the drawer of the Commissioner Carno. When Carno himself ran to the Northern Front Army to inspect the work, he was more concerned about how to prevent the downward attack of the anti-French Allied Army; the citizens of Paris gradually stopped caring, and after a passionate climax, there were fewer people who had originally wandered outside the building because they were interested in lively and were attracted by other things. This was a typical manifestation of joy and disgust.

Andrew had been "entertaining" for more than ten days, but Balas was busy for more than ten days. He kept kicking around the streets and alleys of Paris all day long, contacting various parties in private or public identity, and frequently appeared in various clubs. He originally wanted Andrew to go with him, but the young man politely refused, because he did not want to make too much public. The purpose of Balas was to do was very clear, intending to promote a national reconciliation and end the proposal of the Vandy rebellion as soon as possible. This was part of the terms of the agreement reached by the members of Balas and the royalists.

On January 22, 1794, on the morning of the eighth day when Andrew won the honorary member of the National Convention, the plan began to enter the deliberation stage. It was not Balas himself who proposed the proposal, but the tolerant representative of Parliament Phillipo. The scheming Balas knew that the content after compromising with the royalists must not be submitted by him. Under the current situation, he should maintain a certain transcendent position and be beneficial to grasp the subsequent development of the situation. After thinking about it, Balas resolutely threw this hot potato into Dandong.

The comrades of the Tolerance Party had a coincidence with the spirit of the proposal, and at the same time they lost the direct leadership of Dandong. The faction was full of short-sighted fools, and the committee member and parliamentarian Barras had no trouble to let them take over. Of course, any political transactions had to come at a cost. What satisfies the Tolerance Party was valuable property worth hundreds of thousands of gold francs, which was transported to Paris by General Andrew's convoy. The visits to other factions were only to cover up, so that others would not doubt themselves too much.

The main contents of the proposal include:

1. The Free French government and the Vandy rebels signed a peace agreement;

2. All rebels have the conditions to lay down their weapons and accept the reorganization of the Republic's army;

3. The National Convention pardons all rebels, no longer holds relevant personnel accountable for crimes, and protects their lives and property safety;

4. The National Convention allows rebels who put down their weapons to leave France freely, including foreign mercenaries, and gives the rebels the rights of French citizens.

…

When the above proposal burst out from the moving voice of MP Phillipo, the venue immediately boiled. The first group of comrades in the party led by Delacroix stood up to express their support, and the applause sounded from the left; the poor people jumped out, and they were trying their best to oppose, cooperating with the shouts and scoldings of the audience upstairs, each preparing to rush to the podium, trying to pull off the "abnormal enemy" (Ebert); the plains were persuading the fight, pulling and not wanting to have physical contact between the two sides, some were used to looking at the three giants,

Some turned their attention to Balas; the three giants were very calm at first, neither supporting nor opposing, and seemed to be watching the excitement, quietly sitting on the "top of the mountain" on the left. Finally, some people couldn't sit still. At the command of the leader, Saint Just called a large number of guards and dragged all the members of the parliamentary who performed the entire martial arts out of the parliamentary hall. This should have been the responsibility of the president of the parliament, but it was commanded and released by Robespierre; Balas and others who were watching the battle were shouting "lucky", and the unlucky one was not themselves.

The farce in the House was quickly calmed down due to the intervention of force, but the dispute remained and became more and more intense, turning from the venue to outside the National Palace.

The next day, Eber began to deliver a speech in the Paris Commune, once again motivating his allies and calling on the revolutionary masses to march and demonstrate, demanding severe punishment of the traitors represented by Danton, Filippo and de la Cru. The march was forcibly banned by the National Guard, and the newspaper Dushen, which was preparing to be published on the same day, was also sealed off. Because at the meeting of the Public Security Committee held overnight, the members forcibly passed a management regulation to prevent unrest in Paris with the majority and the minority: all parties, factions, and clubs were strictly prohibited from organizing mass demonstrations on the streets, and strengthening the newspaper review system, and designating relevant departments to send special personnel to supervise the implementation.

The rights of the poor party were further restricted. In the hearts of the angry Eberts, resentment began to gradually spread and intensify. In addition to the tolerants and the Plainists, the three giants in power were also included; the tolerants were not satisfied because the press censorship also restricted their freedom of speech and harmed their interests. While hating the mob, they also protested against the ruling party, but the protest was immediately rejected; the Plainists didn't care, they just cared about their own money and interests. But the people on the street started to make trouble again

The behavior of often striking their shops made the nouveau riche extremely annoyed and complained about the management ability of the power of those in power. But Barras and the royalists were very happy. The former incited everyone's enthusiasm to oppose the Big Three without causing any trouble. The latter was even happier. The damn republicans finally broke up and turned against each other. They were too excited and seemed to see Louis XVIII reassembled the throne of the Dharma. The difference was that some were fantasizing about the lawlessness of the aristocratic power, while others were looking forward to the beautiful system of constitutional monarchy.

Through the discovery of the spy and his intuition, Robespierre knew that someone was secretly striking and inciting everyone to oppose him. As for who was commanding behind the scenes, it was impossible to find out. This was only part of his trouble. The real headache was the suppression of the rebellion in the Vandai area. The rebellion that had gradually quelled was now showing signs of revival. The main force of the Republican Army still did not eliminate the remnants, but made the enemy specialize in many loopholes. First, the base camp was attacked and the commander's adjutant was killed; then the armory was burned, and a large number of wounded soldiers treated in battlefield hospitals were brutally killed. At the same time, General Rossinole sent a series of letters asking the National Convention and the Public Security Commission to continue to mobilize reinforcements and increase military supplies.

Holding the letter of help in his hand, Robespierre was extremely annoyed and almost tore them into pieces. Calmness was the leader's advantage. He took a deep breath, put down the letter, left the seat, and began to wander back and forth in the room. After a long time, Robespierre asked the guards to invite Saint Just and Cudon, and the three giants gathered in the small study to discuss secretly.

Robespierre sat upright at the desk, and Saint Just approached the leader, and the disabled Kudon snuggled by the fireplace because he was also afraid of the cold. The leader of the mountain mission handed over the information to Saint Just, who just glanced at it and gave it to Kudon, who was reading carefully.

"Citizens of Robespierre, we should meet the requirements of the commander ahead!" Saint Just first stated that in the Public Security Committee, he and Rebar and Carno were in charge of military affairs. Just now, a copy of the information was copied and placed in his office. As a soldier, Saint Just understood General Rossinole's current situation. As a regular army commander, he was very disgusted with the erratic guerrilla warfare.

Robespierre didn't say anything, he turned his eyes to Kudong. The latter was still looking at the information and was carefully reviewing it. Saint Just also looked over, as if urging the disabled to finish reading it quickly. Finally, Kudong handed the leader three pages of letters, adjusted his sitting posture, and slowly said in the eyes of others:

"The military power of the Republic is deployed to the natural border to prevent the resurgence of the European anti-French alliance; and the military supplies in Paris are already extremely scarce, and the people are starving and cannot meet the endless supply of anti-insurgency. If that general from a jeweler is not competent, he should be transferred back in time and reappointed other generals."

Kudon's speech was not supported by Robespierre, nor did he receive opposition from Saint Just, and everyone was silent. Robespierre was thinking of a replacement; Saint Just was considering refuting Kudon's reasons; Kudon was preparing to propose a general.

"Okay, let's talk about your candidate, Commissioner Cudong." Robespierre spoke again.

"General of the Mountain, Andrew!" Kudong gave everyone a non-surprise answer.

Indeed, those excellent commanders were sent to the border. Currently, among the generals in Paris, except Andrew, the others are basically in the waste line. This is also the reason why Robespierre named Kudon and made a speech.

"I don't agree! The committee should continue to support it, rather than rush to change the generals." Saint Just stood up, looked around his comrades, and continued to explain his reasons: "General Rossinole only suffered setbacks and did not completely fail. The previous major victory was enough to show his command ability. Nominally, Major General Rossinole was commanded by a legion, and after several transfers, only one division was left, and the others were local Revolutionary Self-Defense Forces. As for Member Andrew, he was already a lieutenant general, and it was a Qucai to be transferred to Wandai. It might be better to stay in the Army Department to assist the Commissioner Carno."

"Well, I agree, General Rossinole should be given a while." Robespierre signaled his comrade to sit down first, and then expressed his gratitude to give up his original idea.

"The time can't be too much, just one month." Kudong did not object, but just limited the date.

"What about the reinforcements and military supplies he needs!" asked Saint Just.

"All satisfied, 3,000 people were mobilized from the Pyrenees Legion, and the military supplies were supplied by Paris." The leader made his final statement.

Twenty minutes later, orders were conveyed from the small building.

…

In a carriage heading out toward the outskirts of Paris, a debate was underway. It happened between the royalists, and the same as the revolutionary discussion was that the debate was also focused on Vendée.

…

"His Royal Highness, no, should be called Your Highness the Prince. Hustle's military provocation in Vonde has seriously endangered the peace agreement between us and our allies. You should stop it, and it should be a clear order!" The speaker was a royal MP hidden in the National Convention, whose name was Kohler, a supporter of the constitutional monarchy.

Standing opposite Kohler was Prince Brittany. Louis 18 had just issued the "King Order" in London. His newly appointed prince. The prince leaned in the carriage and remained silent, knowing that Kohler's words were ironic. Because his outfit was changed from a man's outfit without a trousers to a noble dress, he also felt as if he was arrogant and noble in his temper.

"Damn constitutionalists, the glory of the nobles is to be destroyed in your hands first." The prince cursed in his heart. No matter how much he scolded, it could not be reflected in his expression and language, at least it must be like this now.

"Well, sorry, my MP. Huster is indeed a little impulsive, I will write to him!"

"Your Highness the Prince, it's a punishment or to drive him abroad. The butcher actually killed unarmed wounded soldiers. This is an outrageous act."

"Butcher? It's outrageous?" Prince Brittany was angry and finally couldn't resist the impulse in his heart. He began to raise his tone and shouted loudly with his hands and feet: "Tell me, the National Council's MPs and citizens. The killing of Andrew in Toulon was the massacre, is it even more outrageous! You, Kohler! No family members died there, but all the relatives of the old man were killed by the mountain general you said to be praiseworthy. More than 10,000 nobles and priests, women and children, they were also unarmed!"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, Prince, I..." Looking at the extremely distorted hideous face of the old noble, Kohler felt extremely frightened and immediately apologized, but was stopped by the prince.

"Don't say meaningless things, solve the problem in front of you first. After Huster won the battle, I can't blame him. This is the minimum aristocratic etiquette. However, our agreement with Balas is still valid. If Huster is tired of playing, I will send someone to persuade him, stop resisting, and accept peace talks with the republicans." Prince Brittany calmed down and thought about the atmosphere.

"By the way, there is another thing that must be told to you. The Spanish hidden in France are ready to deal with Andrew, your mountain general." The prince only said half of it, and the other half of the spies about the British cooperated with the Spanish but did not come out. He deliberately concealed it.

"Why tell me this?" The royal MP was puzzled.

"I don't want the allies of Balas to misunderstand us. Although the old noble agreed not to assassinate his son-in-law again, it will not stop others from acting. Perhaps revealing a little information will improve the relationship between the two sides!" the old noble explained.

"Thank you, Your Highness, Prince, I will promptly convey the news of Balas, and your concern for his family!" The uncovered MP Kohler once again violated His Highness's taboo.

…
Chapter completed!
