Queen Mother Anna was a little petty. She loudly stopped Fango and others from taking down the "Mona Lisa" on the wall, but pretended to be indifferent to Louis XIV who was shot in the leg and fell to the ground.
At this time, Louis XIV had taken off his royal clothes and looked like a half-grown chubby boy. Anna hoped that the "robbers" who rushed in would ignore her son.
But she was just wishful thinking. If Louis XIV was in his twenties, Fang Ge and the others might have overlooked him. But such a young boy, appearing in the Queen Mother's bedroom, could not be a servant, and his identity was obvious.
Poor Louis XIV, his leg was injured and he soon fainted from the pain. Fortunately, Fango didn't want him to die, so he quickly sent someone to treat and bandage his wound, thus saving his life.
What’s interesting is that at this time, the leaders of the Fronde in Paris: Baron Conidi, Viscount Ortrand, etc., thought that the Qin army that entered Paris was returning the favor and helping them capture Paris.
The rebellion they launched on both sides of the Seine was to seize more territory and relieve the pressure on Louis de Bourbon of Orleans. It was also to fulfill the mutual assistance agreement reached with the Qin army delegation and help the Qin delegation escape from difficulties.
Longueville, a follower of Prince Condé, has reached an alliance agreement with the Qin delegation. According to this agreement, the Qin army is of course an ally of the Fronde, at least that is what Conidi, Ortrand and others in Paris think.
After Yun Teng's 200-plus men captured the Louvre, the thousands of French troops who had lost their command were routed, while the Fronde were in high spirits, rushing onto the Champs-Elysees and other main roads, excitedly chasing after the fleeing palace soldiers.
Victory is in sight, victory is in sight! The Fronde was extremely excited. A new era seemed to be unfolding before everyone, as bright and warm as the rising sun. Some even shouted slogans such as "Long live the friendship between France and Qin!"
The city was in chaos, with the disorganized and undisciplined Fronde rebels chasing the fleeing palace troops. Stones were thrown in the air, and the streets were littered with scattered stones, sticks, debris, blood, and corpses.
Waves of shouts resounded through the sky, and the flames and black smoke made the whole city seem a little confused.
General Willick and his hundreds of men, who were defeated by the Qin army, fled to the south bank of the Seine, and then relied on the barricades at the bridgehead to hold on, finally saving the collapsing situation.
This bridge that spans the Seine River from north to south became the focus of the battle between the two sides. Baron Conidi continued to organize people to rush over, trying to annihilate the last resistance of the court army and completely control the whole of Paris.
However, General Willick and his men were, after all, regular troops that had experienced the baptism of war. Although they were defeated by the fierce firepower of the Qin army, it did not mean that any Tom, Dick, or Harry could bully them.
Under the organization of General Willick, the Fronde rebels who rushed onto the bridge were dealt a head-on blow;
The rebels wielding sticks and stones were shot and killed one after another on the bridge. The bodies soon blocked the bridge surface, and the wounded fell into the Seine like dumplings. The blood soon dyed the river red.
The pervasive smoke and the strong smell of blood were so choking that it made people want to vomit, and the morning sun in the sky also dimmed.
General Willick, who had stabilized the situation, fought more and more smoothly. He even launched a counterattack and crossed the back bank of the bridge, hoping to rescue his family.
However, the city was full of rebels, and the number of people was as numerous as ants. The soldiers were unwilling to take the risk of continuing the attack; in addition, the Qin army's firepower was too amazing, and it was impossible to recapture the Louvre. General Willick had to retreat to the south bank. Then he sent people to ask for help from Floyd, who was leading his troops to attack Orleans.
After Yun Teng and his men occupied the Louvre, in addition to capturing three main figures, Queen Mother Anne, King Louis XIV, and Cardinal Archbishop and Prime Minister Mazarin, they also captured nearly 500 French nobles;
These nobles all supported Mazarin and Queen Mother Anne. Last night, the Fronde rebellion in the city intensified. These nobles who supported the Queen Mother and Mazarin were the main targets of the Fronde's attack. In order to ensure their safety, most of them were picked up by the palace army and retreated to the Louvre for refuge.
Who would have thought that the Louvre, which was thought to be safe, would fall like this, and nearly 500 lords, ladies, gentlemen, and young ladies who usually lived in luxury became captives of Yun Teng and his men;
These included figures who later became famous, such as Corzel, Pierre Seguier and Moliere.
After occupying the Louvre, Yun Teng sent people out of the city to deliver letters, and at the same time had soldiers guard the front and back doors of the Louvre. No matter who it was, even the so-called "allies" of the slingers, if they approached without permission, they would be shot immediately without mercy.
The Louvre was in the shape of a U. With the firepower of the Qin army, it was not difficult to defend the entrance of the U. Some artillery captured in front of the palace were also used by the Qin army. The problem was that others could also bring artillery, which would be difficult to deal with over time.
We must fight quickly and evacuate as soon as possible, but when we evacuate, we must take a lot of prisoners with us. How can we evacuate? This is a problem.
"General, there is a man called Ortrand outside, claiming to be a subordinate of the Prince of Condé and the leader of the defection party in Paris. He is outside the palace and wants to see you."
"No!" Yun Teng was busy and refused the meeting without thinking.
Fang Ge thought for a moment and said, "General, we can't occupy this place for long. It will take two hundred carriages to transport all the things in the Louvre. It will be even more difficult to take away the King of France, Mazarin and these noble captives.
Now the Fronde have come to see the general, probably because they don't want to be our enemy for the time being. General, although these people are not very powerful, they are numerous and powerful. Once we fall out, it will be troublesome to deal with them. Since this man called Ortran has come, why don't you meet him and stabilize the Fronde first?"
Yun Teng frowned and said, "I'm afraid it's not stable. The people and things they want most are in the Louvre Palace. If I'm right, they must want us to withdraw and hand over the king, the queen mother, Mazarin and the Louvre Palace to them. If we don't agree, it's only a matter of time before the two sides fall out."
"Never mind, let's delay it for now. After we load the stuff into the truck, we'll attack them all at once. We'll just have a fight then."
"Well, I will go meet the leader of the Fronde and leave this to you. Hurry up and load the car... No, a car alone won't do. It's better to find a boat, find more. We can load the things directly onto the boat and then sail out to the sea along the Seine..."
"Don't worry, General. Leave these to me."
"Okay!" Yun Teng said, and strode out of the Louvre to meet Ortrand.
The Louvre is located on the north bank of the Seine. If you take a boat, you can go directly to the English Channel along the Seine.
Moreover, if they were to take a ship, they would be escorted by a clipper warship, and the French warships at Le Havre had just been destroyed, so it would not be easy to dispatch naval warships from other places at once;
What's more, the current navy obeys the king, or to be more precise, the Queen Mother Anne and Mazarin. With these people on board, even if the French naval warships come, they may not dare to fire. This is undoubtedly the most advantageous for the Qin army.
There is a pier on the Seine River in front of the Louvre Museum, where some small and medium-sized boats are moored, some of which are luxury cruise ships that are said to be used by the royal court.
Fang Ge sent out thirty men, armed with rifles and rockets, to take control of the ships first.
Thirty people are the strength of three platoons, plus they have powerful firepower, which is actually a lot. Cao Zheng, the team leader, has already prepared for a bloody battle, but he worried too much.
One of the leaders of the Fronde, Ortran, was still negotiating with Yunteng. The two sides had not yet fallen out, and the Fronde still generally regarded them as "allies" who came to support them.
Although no one trusted anyone and their eyes were full of vigilance, the stone-slingers on the street did not take the initiative to attack them unless Cao Zheng and his men opened fire.
Cao Zheng shouted loudly, asking the Fronde on the street to make way. The Fronde hesitated, but finally made way after another leader of the Fronde, Baron Conidi, arrived.
In this way, Cao Zheng and his thirty men successfully reached the dock without firing a single shot.
Fango, in the Louvre, raced against time to mobilize all the captives, including Queen Anne and Prime Minister Mazarin, who were all pointed at by the Marines with guns, forcing them to move bricks. Hehe, it was not a waste of talent, because what they moved were gold bricks and priceless treasures.
Those noble ladies who usually lived a life of luxury were now in a hurry, and like the servants in the palace, they all became the porters of nature...
