Van Ritter was not stupid. After seeing the black cannon on the clipper ship from afar through the telescope, why would he get close to it
At this time, bad news about the Fronde rebellion kept coming from the surrounding towns. Feng Lit felt that his two thousand troops were like being caught in the eye of a storm, and for a moment he felt a little at a loss as to what to do.
Should we attack the city of Le Havre first, or put down the rebellion in the surrounding towns first
Van Ritter was well aware that the Fronde Rebellion was entirely caused by the wrong policies of Prime Minister Mazarin, and he was very dissatisfied with this.
Now with Prince Condé as its leader, the Fronde has become more powerful. Seeing that the rebellion is getting more and more intense, it is hard to say whether the Fronde will eventually win and drive Mazarin out of power.
There is a high possibility that a major political change will take place in France!
After some thought, Van Ritter decided to ignore the rebellion in the surrounding towns for the time being and lead his troops to retake the city of Le Havre first.
It is not difficult to understand his thoughts. If he suppresses the rebellions in various towns, once Prince Louis de Bourbon of Condé seizes power in France in the future, he will be the "executioner who suppresses the people" and will die.
It would be different to recapture the city of Le Havre. After all, the Qin people were foreign invaders. No matter who controlled the French government in the future, they must respect him as a "national hero."
"General, are we going to ignore this Qin warship?" Captain Terry, one of Van Ritter's men, asked hesitantly.
Van Ritter immediately asked back: "Captain Terry, please tell me, can our rifles beat the artillery on the enemy warships? Can our horses step over the water and rush onto the enemy warships?"
Captain Terry blushed and said hesitantly, "General, but we can think of other ways to deal with this Qin warship."
Van Ritter said firmly: "The best way is to quickly recapture Le Havre City, and then use the port's artillery to block the entire port. By then, will this Qin warship still be able to escape?"
Captain Terry suddenly realized and praised Van Ritter for his wisdom.
Van Ritter ignored the warship Yun Teng and continued to rush towards Le Havre with his 2,000 troops. The dust raised by the horses gradually faded away and finally disappeared in the lower reaches of the Seine.
Perhaps even God could not foresee that Van Ritter's decision would bring a huge disaster to the French Empire.
Yun Teng and his group of nearly 150 people boarded the clipper boat and sailed upstream without any obstacles. They met Fang Ge and his group 30 miles after the town of Antu.
When they first saw it, Yun Teng and others could hardly believe their eyes. Is this what the legendary escape looks like
Fang Ge and his men were seen holding a duck in their left hand and a duck in their right hand, riding horses and pulling carts. In addition to the wounded, there were also many blond and blue-eyed French beauties on the carts. It looked like the people from the Black Wind Village had gone down the mountain to plunder, had a great harvest, and were returning to the mountain in high spirits.
It is said that those blond and blue-eyed French women were brought here to take care of the wounded in the car. As for whether they would take care of their strong brothers after taking care of the wounded, only God knows.
Fang Ge and his men abandoned the carriage. After boarding the warship, the joy of seeing their brothers again made them extremely generous: "General Yun. Pick whatever you want, one or two. If you're not satisfied, there's nothing wrong with taking three or four, hahaha~"
Fang Ge pointed at the French girls brought on board and laughed.
Yun Teng took a look at the blonde women. Well, Fang Ge, this son of a bitch, had good taste. The girls he chose were excellent. However, he would not admit it. He pretended to be angry and said, "Damn it, don't embarrass me with your leftovers. Come on, turn around and go back to Le Havre."
After all, Le Havre is a big city with tens of thousands of people. When you get there, it's not easy to pick a few beauties.
"I love you so much!" Fang Ge suddenly shouted, and everyone thought he was going to hug those beautiful French girls, but he just pounced on the cold front main gun, hugged the gun barrel and kissed and nibbled it;
Others may find it difficult to understand Fang Ge's behavior. Only Li Pan and others who followed him to escape death know why Fang Ge did this. Before, they were short of weapons and it was very suffocating to fight, especially in Louviers. If they had enough weapons, there would be more than just so many brothers who died.
At this moment, looking at the cannons on the ship, I felt truly supported in my heart, quite like a child finding his mother.
The warship received Yun Teng's order and began to turn around slowly in the river. The channel of the lower reaches of the Seine is quite wide, but due to the lack of understanding of the conditions of the river, they did not dare to leave the middle channel for fear of running aground, so it was not easy for a 60-meter-long clipper to turn around in the river.
Fang Ge chewed on the gun barrel, as if he suddenly remembered something, and ran to Yun Teng and said, "General Yun, wait, we just heard that there was a rebellion in Paris..."
"There is a rebellion in Paris? What do you mean?"
"General Yun, more than 30 of my brothers died in Louviers. We can't just leave like this. We have enough weapons on board, and now we have more than 200 men. Now the nearby towns are in rebellion, and no one has time to care about us.
It was said that after Mazarin sent more than 10,000 troops to attack Orleans, the troops in Paris were very empty, and the Fronde in the city took the opportunity to rebel, and Mazarin was unable to suppress the rebellion in the city in time;
General Yun, think about it, if we go to Paris now and bombard it with rockets, it won't be a piece of cake to take over the city of Paris. Paris, General Yun, this is not a small town, this is the capital of France!"
As soon as Fang Ge finished speaking, the Qin soldiers on the ship could not help but get excited. Yes, this is Paris, the heart of Europe. Now it is like a naked beauty. If everyone just pounces on it, they can...
"Go ahead, General Yun, go ahead!"
"Yes, kill them. Damn it. I heard that there are countless treasures hidden in the Louvre."
"Also, and also, snatching a few princesses back to present to His Majesty, this would be a great achievement, hahahaha..."
"General Yun, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"Yes, the enemy probably never dreamed that we would dare to attack Paris."
"So what if I thought of it? Didn't you hear what Fangtou said? Paris is empty and can't even suppress the rebellion of a few common people. If we charge in, who can stop us?"
Perhaps. Perhaps no one in France had ever thought that the Qin envoys, who were busy escaping, would dare to attack Paris.
Yun Teng did not hesitate for long. Under the gaze of a group of wolf-like eyes flashing green, he slammed his palm hard on the bulkhead and shouted coldly: "Order! Stop turning around and keep moving forward. Target, Paris!"
"Very good!"
"marvelous!"
"General Yun, I love you!"
"Get lost! You bunch of bastards..."
In this way, this clipper went along the Seine and headed towards Paris. At this time, the towns on both sides of the Seine were in chaos due to the rebellion of the Fronde, and no one paid any attention to this ship that was heading straight for Paris.
At this time, a rebellion did occur in Paris, and it was on a fairly large scale.
Mazarin finally assembled an army of 15,000, led by his trusted General Froude, and hurriedly marched towards Orleans, attempting to quickly recapture the city of Orleans while Louis de Bourbon was still unstable.
However, he obviously forgot that the Fronde Rebellion originated in Paris, and even Queen Mother Anne and King Louis XIV were forced to flee Paris.
Froude had just left with his army when a rebellion broke out in Paris that night;
At this time, there were less than 5,000 French troops left in Paris, and a small number of them were instigated by the rebellious nobles to join the "just war against Mazarin's tyranny". At the same time, they also sent people to cut off the road to Orleans to prevent Mazarin from sending people to adjust Floyd's army.
The towns on both sides of the Seine River "received successive victories". When the news reached the city, the Fronde in Paris was greatly encouraged. Correspondingly, the morale of the French troops who were suppressing them plummeted, and some even deserted.
In Paris, except for the Palace of Versailles which was relatively safe due to heavy guards, chaotic battles were taking place on almost all the streets. Neither side had expected that a group of people from the far east were rushing towards Paris... ...
