At this time, in the city of Paris, Mazarin was busy chasing down the Qin mission and mobilizing a large number of troops to prepare to retake Orleans.
It is not an exaggeration to call Orleans the southern gateway of Paris. It is located in a plain, rich in products, and has a large population. Louis de Bourbon was a man of great military exploits and had very high prestige among the people. He was also a member of the French royal family. An important branch of the Communist Party of China, it is highly supported by the capitalist class.
If Orleans is not recaptured quickly and Louis de Bourbon can run it for a while, it will be difficult to recapture it.
But the problem is that France, which was once powerful, is now so weak. The total army strength once reached 160,000, but now there are only more than 50,000 left, and another 20,000 to 30,000 are fighting Spain on the border. The domestic strength is very empty;
In addition, years of war and endless internal rebellions left the internal treasury empty. Without military pay, who would be willing to let soldiers fight against the famous Prince of Condé
Prime Minister Mazarin was so busy that he secretly sighed that it was difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice. At the same time, he went to the palace to lobby the Queen Mother Anna, hoping that she could sell some of the palace's treasures to finance the army.
Queen Mother Anna is a short-sighted person and loves money as much as life. She is willing to take out any treasures.
Mazarin tried his best, even took half a bottle of yang-boosting medicine, then mounted his gun and beat her to death on the bed, before finally getting her to agree to take out some treasures from the palace for military pay.
Mazarin finally gathered an army of 15,000 troops, led by General Froude, whom he trusted, and hurried towards Orleans.
But this army had only traveled a hundred miles, and every town on both sides of the Seine from Paris to Le Havre was under the planning of the Fronde. They launched rebellions one after another.
Even the small town of Narnes, less than two miles from Paris, openly raised the flag of the Fronde;
Shocking news came one after another, and there seemed to be an undercurrent in Paris;
The so-called name of a person is the shadow of a tree. Louis de Bourbon, Prince of Daicon, was famous. His capture of Orleans not only shocked France, but also opened the eyes of the people to another possibility. For a while, the Fronde rebellion was surging again.
This damn time. How could Mazarin bother to increase his troops to encircle and suppress the Qin mission
The Qin envoy ran away, which was just a bad look, but if the Fronde's rebellion could not be suppressed, it would be a fatal matter.
What's even more terrible is that at this time, it was reported that the Qin army had captured the city of Le Havre. After the city's defenders surrendered, they were all killed, and all the naval warships parked in the port of Le Havre were destroyed.
Oh, God! That was one-third of the French navy's warships, and they were destroyed like that
Mazarin could not believe his ears, regardless of his status as a cardinal archbishop and prime minister of France. He grabbed the collar of the soldier who came to report the news and shouted loudly, hoping that he heard wrongly.
After getting the affirmative answer again, Mazarin turned pale as a ghost and looked haggard. It was as if he had aged ten years instantly.
"God, what's happening? What's happening?"
Ever since the Qin mission was attacked in the small town of Vernon, Mazarin felt that nothing had gone his way. Could it be that he had done something to anger God
As Cardinal. Originally, he was a person who didn't believe in God very much, but at this moment, it was overwhelming to face this. In such a mess, Mazarin couldn't help but want to ask God for help.
"Come here, mobilize all the naval warships and take back Le Havre for me. We must take it back!"
Le Havre is the "outer port of Paris" and the gateway to the Atlantic Ocean from Paris. Its strategic location is very important. Even if Mazarin doesn't understand military affairs, he knows that Le Havre cannot be lost and must be recaptured as soon as possible.

When Fango and the others saw the thick smoke rising from the town of Antrou, it was not Yunteng coming to meet them, but the rebellion launched by the Fronde. And this kind of rebellion is by no means unique to the town of Antroux. At this moment, large or small rebellions have occurred in the surrounding towns on both sides of the Seine;
The so-called French people are basically the French people. When they gather, they form an army, and when they disperse, they form a people. They are pervasive and ubiquitous, making it difficult to guard against them.
Ten or twenty people can cause chaos in a town by suddenly setting fire and killing people at night. France has experienced 30 years of war, and the lives of the people in the country are extremely difficult. Many families do not even have three meals a day. With riots, Everyone will take advantage of the chaos to rob. This phenomenon is the same all over the world.
The army was empty, the Fronde rebelled, and the people took advantage of the troubled waters. The combination of multiple factors caused the towns around the Seine to almost fall into a state of anarchy. Murder, robbery, rape, and all kinds of ugly phenomena could be seen everywhere.
The countryside is full of people fleeing and crying. Under such circumstances, how can anyone take care of Fang Ge and the others? On the contrary, they also join in the robbery from time to time. This is an enemy country, and no one knows whether they can go back;
If you can grab it, grab it. Eat first before talking about it. Don't be polite when you meet a beautiful French girl. According to Li Pan, if you die and remain a virgin, you will be sorry for the heavens and the earth, and you will be sorry for your parents. If you sow seeds randomly, you might be able to leave a mixed-race offspring here...
Although this is just an excuse, for Fang Ge and others who are stuck in a distant foreign country and don't know what will happen today, these behaviors are also due to human nature. You can't ask all soldiers to be saints.

At this time, Yunteng's two warships went upstream and finally met the two ships of Ambassador Zhang Haoran and his companions.
Zhang Haoran and the others hid in the cabin all the way, almost suffocating to death. They were not very clear about the situation outside, and everyone was still in panic all day long.
It wasn't until I got on the clipper ship and saw the cold cannon on the ship that I felt a little relieved.
"What's going on? Why are you the only ones there? Where is Fang Ge? Are there others?"
Yunteng was very anxious. The situation was unknown. He thought that Fang Ge and others had all been killed in the battle.
Zhang Haoran said with a complicated mood: "Deputy Commander Fang stayed in Louviers to stop the enemy. Let us take a boat to Le Havre first. The enemy's four thousand cavalry are attacking Louviers, and we don't know their situation, Commander Fang." how's it going."
When Zhang Haoran talked about this, he felt emotional and worried at the same time, his brows furrowed together;
Before Yun Teng could say anything, General Lin Daoming, who was escorting Zhang Haoran and the others down, had already said, "General Yun, Mr. Zhang and the others will be left to you. I will take someone back to meet General Fang..."
"Wait a minute, why are you so anxious!" Yunteng shouted, stopping him from jumping back to the boat he was sitting on. "You only have so few troops and ammunition, so you can save us if you go back like this. Fango and the others?"
"Ah, General Yun, give me some ammunition, give me more rockets..."
"Fuck you, get them all up here." Yun Teng ordered loudly, asking Lin Daoming and his thirty or forty soldiers to get on the clipper ship, and then split up the troops. One hundred soldiers took a clipper ship, taking Zhang Haoran and the others immediately back to the port of Le Havre.
Another hundred people, together with Lin Daoming and the others, took another clipper boat and continued upstream to meet Fango in Louviers City. If they were not dead yet...
Who knows, in this foreign country, it is difficult to obtain information. It is impossible to obtain information like in Daqin. Even if the military reconnaissance cavalry does not get the information, the elusive Ye Bushou will help provide information. Here, it can be said that both eyes are black.
The enemy has 4,000 troops, while Fang Ge and the others only have 150, and there are not many weapons left. If the enemy attacks by force, it would be a blessing to be able to hold on for one day, but now counting, almost three days have passed.
Lin Daoming thought about what Fango said to him privately when he left Louviers City: "If you can go back, please help me take care of my parents." Just this sentence already implies too many things. People are anxious.
The downstream channel of the Seine River is quite wide. Although it goes upstream, the terrain on both sides of the river is flat. The monsoon wind blowing from the Atlantic can penetrate all the way inland, and the speed of the clipper ship cannot be fully utilized. , the sails are bulging, and they are chopping the waves.
After traveling for thirty miles, he saw billowing yellow dust covering the sky in front of him, and then he saw a black line appearing on the horizon. When Lin Daolin saw it, he immediately exclaimed: "It's cavalry, probably attacking Louviers." That cavalry in the city! Oh my god, did Deputy Commander Fang sacrifice them..."
Yunteng didn't think so much, and immediately shouted: "Prepare for war! Prepare for war!"
