Highly recommended, the masterpiece "Legend of Rebirth" by the emperor

#####################################################

Dark clouds covered the fields, electric whip slashed through the sky, strong winds broke the strong branches, and thunder was deafening. The pouring rain fell into the sky. In an instant, the ground was like a canal, and waves of water curtains filled the sky. On the muddy mountain road, a large group of people were winding around the forest path. In terms of number, there were about 300 people. They rode horses and wore waterproof jackets and walked in the rain in difficulty. Because the grass was extremely slippery after the heavy rain, the horse's hooves were slipping one after another, and the heavy rain was mixed with hail the size of olive fruit, which kept falling from the sky. As people fell from horseback, they often fell from the horse's back. The blue uniform that had been wet was covered with mud, which attracted everyone's ridicule and kind-hearted ridicule.

"Haha, Lieutenant, what do you think? I miss your woman!"

"Wrong, his woman had already run away with someone else. Haha!"

"Haha, it's not his mind that it's his stallion thinking about the mare!"

"Miss your aunt, damn ghost weather!"

…

The laughter between the cavalrymen diluted the pain and embarrassment brought by the bad weather. If there were others, they would definitely find that this group of republics were all Masai. The loud voice of the Mediterranean style was enough for anyone to guess, but the direction was strange, not from Masai, but from Paris.

This is a summer rainstorm, but it happens in the prosperous era of spring, which is indeed a bit unusual. After the rainstorm, it may be the sunny day after the rainstorm, and the rainbow appears, but it may also mean the arrival of a greater disaster.

The leader in the team, like everyone else, covered his face with a coat and a pull-down brim. Despite this, he could not resist the rain from continuing to invade from his collar. The cold rain flowed to his back, making him feel a little numb. So he untied his collar and showed his face, as if he wanted to make the storm come more violently.

He was the new supreme commander of the Mountain General, Andrew, the Wandai Legion, who was preparing to lead his guards to the front line to fight.

On the night of the engagement ceremony, Andrew, who had been in the revolutionary capital for nearly two months and was idle, suddenly received a transfer order from the Public Security Committee. He was so excited that he immediately kissed his fiancée goodbye. From Cosett's reluctant gaze, the general jumped into the carriage and rushed back to Paris overnight. In Robespierre's office, he accepted the appointment letter of the leader of the Mountain Sect and served as the commander of the Wandai Legion.

Before that, Major General Rossinole, the former commander-in-chief of the Vendée, was killed by the rebels in a pre-planned ambush battle. Together with his special envoys, a total of more than 4,000 regular troops of the Republic were wiped out. The news came, which caused a sensation in the entire Paris and France. Although the feudal nobles and the conspirators were indeed excited, the ordinary people were panicked about the continued turmoil of the situation. Robespierre was even more irritable, and his anger was reflected in his face, mouth and actions all the time. He knew that countless people who opposed him were mocking him in the dark corners and were preparing to instigate a conspiracy to overthrow the revolutionary regime he led.

It is urgent to prevent the rising rebellion of Vendée from continuing to spread across the country, Robespierre decisively took a series of measures. On the one hand, he gathered the comrades of the Public Security Committee to pass a more severe terrorist decree: restricting all freedom of speech, including newspapers, and eliminating the open and private gatherings of all clubs outside the Jagbin Club. Anyone who opposes the decree can be sent directly to the guillotine without interrogation, and the curfew time is advanced to 9 pm and extended to 6 pm the next day. On the other hand, he knew that the unfavorable situation of the war would inevitably affect his prestige in the army, parliament and the masses, and he must immediately select a loyal and capable general to quickly quell the rebellion of Vendée, which has risen again, became the top priority in all matters to do. And this candidate, only the Mountain General in Paris, and Andrew is competent.

The leader has no clue, but he will not doubt that Andrew would oppose himself. At least he believed in the military talent of the Mountain General. Even Saint Just, who had previously opposed, firmly expressed his support for this appointment. During the Battle of Toulon, Andrew could still win with less in the face of regular interference from multiple forces, and naturally there was no problem with those country bandits who had not received formal training. Although the intelligence said that the rebels had expanded to 50,000, it was also exaggerated. Even if this number was present, the brave General Andrew would not be afraid.

Indeed, Andrew, who stood in front of Robespierre, had no slightest concern. He vowed to pledge all rebels within two months stipulated by the leader, and even with the existing incomplete Vandai Legion, he could completely end the 16-month rebellion in the Vandai area.

The leader was of course happy, because no general dared to say this in a positive tone, especially in times of crisis. But later Robespierre was a little silent, which were the five prerequisites proposed by General Andrew:

1. Grant all powers of the rebellion of Vondae, including all local military, administrative, appointment and removal of officials, and other aspects;

2. Mobilize the National Council to pass a proposal for national reconciliation the next morning, and will be implemented first by Andrew himself in the Vendée area;

3. Peasants in Vendée are allowed to retain their freedom of religious belief. Paris should forgive those priests who do not swear, as long as they do not resist, or encourage others to resist the republic regime.

4. Grant him the power to execute or pardon the rebel leader in the rebellion without reporting to Paris in advance;

5. Do not set up special commissioners within the Wandai Legion and exercise the normal command of the supervisory commander;

Robespierre fully agreed to the first condition. In fact, Major General Rossinole, the former leader of the Vendée Legion, also enjoyed this power, and now it is only open; for the second and third conditions, Robespierre had held a meeting of the Big Three in his office on Andrew's way to Paris. Everyone's opinion was that as long as the turmoil in the Vendée region could be ended as soon as possible, the necessary compromises were acceptable; for the fourth condition, Robespierre was a little hesitant, but after a little weighing, the leader agreed. After all, Andrew had explained to him the beauty of the carrot and stick policy; for the fifth condition, Robespierre would not have agreed to it, but due to the forced force of the severe situation, he could lead Andrew to the war, and Robespierre compromised again.

For the first four conditions, Andrew was dealing with the instructions of Balas. However, the fifth condition was a bit far-fetched and could not be noticed by others. It was Andrew's own request, and it was just a manifestation of his recollection of General Gowan's tragic experience and lingering fear.

With the Shangfang sword given by the leader, in accordance with the collective resolution of the Public Security Committee and the National Convention, Andrew left Paris in the afternoon of the same day and hurried to the front line of Wandai. However, Yuliss and Pierre were left behind. The former was asked to wait for the arrival of the old butler Sandero, and the latter was acting as an eye for Andrew to stay in Paris.

Andrew knew clearly that his role as commander of the Legion, Lai Wandai, was a major conspiracy in itself, to combat Robespierre's ruling power, and to eliminate the disobedient guys among the rebels.
