Kano worked hard to try to send more personnel and supplies to the north. However, the Northern Army did not immediately receive sufficient personnel and supplies. The reason is very simple, because a large-scale rebellion broke out in the Vendée area.

Vandai is a region full of hills and forests. It is one of the most traditional, backward and closed areas in France. The lifestyles of people there are not even very different from those hundreds of years ago.

However, the closed and backward Wangdai area was not actually the base of the royal party, and the farmers there had no feelings for the king or something. This was normal, just as the farmers of Dongda Eat Country sang in "The Song of Fighting the Soil": "Work at sunrise, rest at sunset, dig a well and drink at farming, and eat at farming. What is the power of the emperor for me?" So, in the eyes of the farmers in the Wangdai area, what does the king do with them?

The revolutionary government cut off the head of a guy named Louis XVI. It is not a big deal for the farmers of Vandai. Are the crops in the fields still growing? They are still growing, so there is no problem! As for the nobles and men are also in trouble, the farmers in Vandai are also not very concerned. The men are hung with street lights, so what does it matter to them? As long as the crops in the fields... Therefore, when the monarch is established, Vandai is very stable; when the king is beheaded, Vandai is still very peaceful.

However, recently, the farmers in Vendai have gradually felt that the revolutionary government is really a problem.

The first annoying move of the revolutionary government was that they wanted to drive away all the priests. After the revolution, the "Prince Law" was passed, which stipulated that the priests must swear allegiance to the government, which led to the division of the church in France. However, in Vendée, those priests who did not swear allegiance to the government still opened their churches, performed their rituals, and controlled the key to every poor peasant ascending to heaven. The French government in Paris actually could not control such a remote countryside. Therefore, the "Prince Law" had a very limited impact on Vendée for a while.

But after the king lost his head, the situation changed. Because many priests who refused to swear all their loyalties to the government became the backbone of rebellions in various places. So the National Assembly passed another decree announcing that all priests who did not swear all their loyalties to the government were expelled from the country.

According to this new decree, all priests who have not swear allegiance to the government must leave France within the prescribed time when the decree is passed. Any priests who have remained in France after the deadline and have not swear allegiance to the government will be regarded as rebels and can be directly sentenced to death without trial.

Some priests in the Vandai area also launched some rebellions after the king was executed. These rebellions seemed no different from those in other regions at the beginning. The vast majority of peasants in Vandai still maintained the attitude of "I have no power for me" and did not participate much. Therefore, these rebellions were quickly suppressed.

But the subsequent expulsion of the "undocumented" priests caused great dissatisfaction among the farmers of Vandai. Because in the closed Vandai area, there were basically no so-called "certified" priests. Therefore, the actions of the Republican government in Vandai, in a sense, were an action to clear Christianity from Vandai.

If the rebellion of the priests did not receive much support from the peasants, the republican government's expulsion of the priests aroused anger in the entire Vendée region.

But if it were just this problem, the rebellion of Vonde might not have been so serious. Because of the crisis in the north, the Republican government passed the national conscription law proposed by Kano. It also sent special commissioners to various places to supervise conscription and taxation.

Due to the limitations of production methods, generally speaking, the agricultural population is generally unwilling to leave their hometowns. The same is true for the farmers in Wandai. In fact, even the National Self-Defense Forces in the city are generally unwilling to leave their cities to fight in other places, let alone the farmers in Wandai? In addition, as soon as the priests, nobles and foreigners fanned the flames, the rebellion in Wandai quickly expanded.

The revolutionary government mobilized some national self-defense troops to suppress them, thinking that they could easily suppress the rebellions of the peasants just like the past. However, they did not expect that the situation in Wandai is completely different from that in the past. The peasants of Wandai were very brave in defending their hometowns, no less than those volunteers. Their commanders were all nobles who had served as middle and senior officers in the French army.

When the rebellion first began, the British discovered that this was a good opportunity to attack the French. So they searched for people who were full of hatred for the Republic and had certain military experience among the French exiled nobles, concentrated them to Britain, organized them, and sent them to the coastline of Vandai with warships. Then, under the guidance of the local church, they went to different teams to be responsible for command. This was how the Marquis of Rondenack in Hugo's last novel "The 1993" climbed to the land of Vandai.

Therefore, when the revolutionary government's uncuffed trousers who had no combat experience entered the Wandai with the National Self-Defense Army, what they had to face was not the kind of scattered rebels they imagined, although they were not in charge of each other and could not cooperate with each other, but a real army with as high morale as they were, as well as better command, better cooperation, and more soldiers.

In this way, the result of the battle was naturally self-evident. The government army was defeated by the peasant army, and the entire Vendée area was fallen. At that time, most of the troops in France were transferred to the north to fight against the Pakatans and Austria, and the entire south was empty. If the rebels took the opportunity to go north, the Republic would be in a crisis of fighting on both sides.

Since joining the camp against France, the British have not really invested even a platoon of combat troops on the ground, but in terms of the threat and losses caused to France, it is no less than the issuance of mobilization orders, mobilizing hundreds of thousands of troops of Austria and Prussia. The legendary shit stirrup is so terrifying!

Of course, the specialization of the shit stick will also bring other problems. For example, if you want to rely too much on other people's power to play the trick of "using barbarians to control barbarians", you are unwilling to spend a penny of your own strength. Even with the conscription of the whole country of France and the Pakatan Harapan, the British also cut the scale of the army by one quarter to save costs.

This brings up another problem, that is, although the royalists who led the rebellion of Vandai were very much looking forward to the British army landing in Vandai, joining forces with them, expeditioning Paris to fight against the rebels and restoring Bourbons. However, the British refused to send any soldiers, hoping that the rebels could solve the problem on their own. Because according to the British calculations, if the rebels in Vandai were to march north at this time, it would be enough to achieve their goal.

But something unexpected happened to the British and royal parties, that is, the peasants in Vendée were not actually loyal to the royal family.

In fact, just like the National Self-Defense Forces in the city are unwilling to leave their hometowns and fight in distant frontiers, the farmers in Wandai are also unwilling to leave their villages and farmlands. This attachment to their hometown is even far beyond those in the city.

When the city people who forced them to drag them hundreds of miles away to fight were driven away, the farmers scattered, went back to their homes, and went to their mothers. Only the nobles and a few kittens and dogs who followed them were left.

Looking at the scattered farmers, whether from the Republic, the Royal Party, or other foreigners, they were all stupid, and they all felt that their eyes were deceived.

So the Northern Expedition to Paris naturally had no drama at all. Otherwise, how could the farmers be too...too honest?

But it wouldn't work if you leave Wanda alone. What if the British army really came from there? The British have not sent troops now, but who can guarantee that they will not send troops in the future? If they were stabbed by the British in the back of the butt when they were having a good fight with Pu'ao in front, it would be...

Therefore, the revolutionary government could only rely on hope to resist the north, and then transferred the troops transferred to the north to the south to completely solve the problem of Vendé. Fortunately, Austria and Prussia were also more cooperative, especially Austria. When they saw that the pressure on the battlefield was a little loose, they immediately remembered that the Queen had eaten such a large piece of meat, but only let them smell the aroma of the meat. So they turned around and got entangled with the Queen about the special interests of the "Holy Roman Empire" in Poland.

In addition, Austria felt that if he worked too hard in the north now, he would only attract more French troops. In the end, they would be tragic, and the benefits would most likely be taken away by the British and Spanish. If this happens, wouldn’t it be possible to smell the scent of meat floating over them again?

As for Prussia, I also feel that it should be slowed down now and let the French fight with the French by themselves. It is best to have French fight with the British and then take action, so that the benefits can be maximized.

As a result, the two kings and one emperor's little abacus were originally the most critical, but as the decisive northern battlefield, they temporarily quieted down. Instead, the French got a rare opportunity to breathe.

Taking advantage of this space, Kano quickly transferred Joseph, Napoleon, and the Red Army back. Anyway, the commander of the Northern Army now felt that they were too influential in the army, which hindered his command of the army.

Kano brought back Joseph and Napoleon, one of the ideas was to let them be responsible for suppressing the rebellion of the Vondee. However, when he brought this up with Joseph, Joseph expressed his firm opposition.

"The matter in Wandai is not a military issue, but a political issue. If political issues must be solved by military means, Lazar, then I have to say that the number of troops you have prepared is too small."
