Chapter 923 Burning the Palace of Versailles

The leading general of the French army was shot to death with an arrow.

The army lost its command and fell into fighting independently.

The civilians who revolted saw their companions kill the generals of the army with one arrow, and their morale became high.

Only a few people had muskets in their hands, and most of them only held cold weapons, even kitchen knives and hoes.

There was no look of fear on their faces, but expressions of enthusiasm.

The army of the Kingdom of France began to fall into panic.

Even if there are generals who want to turn the tide, they will be shot to death by flying arrows, shot to death by cold guns from nearby, or blown up by grenades thrown from nowhere.

The army of the Kingdom of France completely lost its organizational ability.

On the contrary, Volker relied on his prestige to organize a ragtag group of people to attack the army of the Kingdom of France in an orderly manner.

An army without organization has basically lost all its combat effectiveness and can only be beaten passively.

The army of the Kingdom of France soon collapsed, and the soldiers threw down their weapons and fled in all directions.

Wickham put down the gun in his hand. The gun in his hand had been replaced by a percussion gun unknowingly.

He now has this kind of weapon, which he can claim to be a weapon smuggled in by a certain nobleman for self-protection.

The percussion gun is used to snipe enemy generals and is very effective.

It was these percussion guns that Wickham almost sniped at the lowest level officers of the French army.

After they completely lost their command, Volker could lead a charge and finish off the French army.

Walker looked at the French army lying on the ground, with most of the rest fleeing.

He excitedly fired his gun into the sky and laughed wildly: "The level of the kingdom's army is like this.

As long as everyone unites, we will definitely defeat this group of trash.

It is this group of losers who serve as minions to help the nobles squeeze us.

Today I have revenge and I will kill you as fast as I can."

Walker left some of his men behind to clean up the bodies on the street.

He led his men directly into the Marquis Clarion's mansion.

Marquis de Clarian, this is the official in charge of the finances of the Kingdom of France.

The small nobles did not have much property, and Walker did not care.

But the assets of a great nobleman like Marquis Clarian must be captured, as it will be of great help to his future development.

Walker felt that he had seen through the reality of the French Kingdom and the nobility. Victories one after another made his ambitions begin to expand.

He now feels that his abilities are completely stronger than these cowardly nobles.

…………………………

The disastrous retreat of the army drew many people's attention to this group of defeated troops.

The citizens of Paris were still unclear at first, what exactly happened tonight?

But as the defeated soldiers were afraid of taking responsibility, they chose to flee home and publicize today's relevant situation.

Most of the informed people in Paris know it.

The core aristocratic district of Paris has been lost, and the army failed miserably in trying to suppress the rebels.

The spread of this incident made many careerists smell something unusual.

The people who took action this time were not just civilians with nothing.

Capitalists who open factories, lawyers who play with the law.

These people whose assets far exceeded those of the poor, but who were still oppressed by the nobility, began to take action.

These people have good abilities and have complex connections.

After their actions, the impact was huge.

This group of people began to act, and there was almost no peaceful place in Paris. There was gunfire and killings everywhere.

The city of Paris became even more chaotic. Even if troops from outside the city were transferred into the city, they could not quell the turmoil in a short time.

…………………………

Walker looked at the musket in his hand and fired the last lead bullet.

The buildings on both sides of him were already in flames.

He took over the Marquis of Clarion's mansion, and he couldn't believe the large amount of gold and silver in the Marquis' mansion.

These families, which have been passed down for hundreds of years, possess wealth beyond his imagination.

This also made Walker's hatred grow stronger. Most of this wealth was obtained from poor people like them.

The nobles only took some money, and the hatred in Walker's heart was not that great.

He found a private prison in Clarion's house.

There are young and beautiful girls imprisoned here, as well as people who have offended the Clarion family but have special skills.

In the dark prison, they use their wisdom to help the enemy grow and develop.

All these nobles deserve to die.

Walker didn't understand the whole picture of the great aristocracy, but only had some superficial knowledge, and he couldn't stand it.

The hatred in his heart made him no longer stay with the nobles.

All the men of the Clarion family were hanged in the street by him.

Walker attacked other nobles, but he no longer held back.

He made up his mind to make the team advance faster.

Even if they can seize some weapons and ammunition from the nobles' mansions.

But this is completely insufficient. Many people in the team can only fight with cold weapons and grenades.

Walker looked at the noble district that was already in flames.

He listened to the sounds of gunfire coming from all over Paris.

He is a little confused now and doesn't know what to do?

Wickham took the opportunity to remind: "Uncle Walker, we have captured the noble district, executed many nobles, and obtained a large amount of money accumulated by the nobles.

We have gained enough today, but if we are not strong, other forces will definitely rob us of the money in our hands.

Our most important task now is to enhance our own strength.

Now we should ghettoize, appease our families, and seize the factories that produce weapons.

As long as we have a steady stream of weapons in our hands, we will be the most powerful force in Paris."

After Walker listened to Wickham's analysis, he nodded repeatedly.

He killed too many nobles today and stole so much gold and silver.

Whether they are friends of the nobles or some other forces, as long as their strength exceeds theirs, they will not let them go.

When Walker took action, he had already put life and death aside and only thought about revenge.

But now that his great revenge has been avenged and he has gained the taste of power, he doesn't want to lose it all.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Okay, Wickham is really smart, let's set off now, return to the slums, occupy the weapons factory, and reunite with our families."

When Walker issued this order, bursts of cheers immediately erupted from the team.

Many people have hidden some gold and silver treasures, and they are anxious to go home and share the good news with their relatives.

Thousands of people were walking on the street, and the sound of their footsteps was shocking, not to mention the blood-stained clothes and weapons, which was extremely shocking.

There is no blind person along the way who wants to provoke them.

Many forces in the city have their eyes on the nobles and wealthy families, and money and bread are the first things they consider.

No force cares about these cold machines in the ghetto.

Volcker was very successful and occupied a large number of factories.

These factories can produce steel, muskets, grenades and other weapons.

Walker no longer had to worry that his team was short of muskets and ammunition.

In the warehouse of the factory, there are still some firearms and ammunition that have just been produced and have not been shipped away.

Volker immediately distributed muskets to his confidants and replenished ammunition.

They won't panic if they have guns in their hands.

The most core member of the team, a person from the slums.

They took firearms and food home, and most of the people in the team were still concentrated in the factory.

Walker also went to visit his youngest son. He saw that the little boy was not sleeping and was nervously waiting for his return.

A sense of happiness suddenly emerged in his heart, and the sorrow of his wife's death had disappeared.

Walker took out the exquisite food he received at the noble mansion and let his younger son try it.

He watched his little son eat a full meal and put him to sleep.

Walker found his wife's body and buried her in the yard of their original home.

He doesn't have too many worries in his heart now.

Walker knew now was not the time for pleasure.

He was on his way back to the factory to join his brothers.

Walker saw many brothers who had returned home, hugging their relatives and crying loudly.

When he took action, he never imagined that today would go so smoothly.

Since he decided to rally his troops to resist the nobles today, he has already prepared for everyone to die.

Volcker really did not expect that the Kingdom of France was a paper tiger.

He just poked it gently, and the paper tiger was popped.

When Walker returned to the factory, he saw Wickham organizing a group of people, fully armed and ready for action.

He stepped forward and asked anxiously: "Wickam, what happened now?"

Wickham was shocked. He did not expect Walker to return so quickly.

He planned to take his core men to find a way to open the city gate and let the Royal Army know about the news in Paris.

Such a major change occurred in the city of Paris. The Royal Army did not know the news in advance and would miss the fleeting fighter opportunity.

Of course, what Wickham is planning to do cannot be explained clearly to Walker.

Who knows what Volcker thinks of people like them?

Wickham came to his senses in a hurry, and said in an anxious tone: "Uncle Walker, I just missed a problem, which may have a fatal impact on us.

We have almost wiped out the nobles in Paris, and none of the big nobles have escaped.

Other forces are also attacking the nobles, and it is simply impossible for the nobles in the city to rise."

But outside Paris, there is one of the largest nobles.

Once the nobleman reacted, he would mobilize troops from outside the city to enter the city at all costs.

Those of us, and those close to us, will be wiped out in an instant.

Wickham guided Walker to attack the Palace of Versailles in the western suburbs of Paris.

The reason why he chose to do this was because it was a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

Wickham's priority is to accurately deliver news to the outside world.

Special staff like them had no way to carry wireless telegraph machines.

There are limited wireless telegraph machines in Europe, so as long as you send a message, you will definitely be noticed.

Previously, they passed the news to the outside world through the Embassy of the Chinese Empire in France.

But as the war broke out, everyone in the embassy was placed under strict guard.

Before the embassy was besieged, the ambassador had destroyed all documents and equipment in the embassy.

They can only send personnel outside the city and find a way to contact the Royal Army.

This stupid method will take a long time and may cause the Royal Army to miss a good opportunity.

If a wireless telegraph machine could be found in the Palace of Versailles, all problems would be solved.

The French royal family has extremely strict control over wireless telegraph machines.

There are only a handful of wireless telegraph machines left outside for various reasons.

Basically all are in the hands of the French royal family, the Bourbon family.

In addition to conveying news to the outside world, Wickham also said what he said to Walker was true.

Wickham is good at treating people with sincerity, and lies can be exposed at any time.

Everything he tells is the truth, but if you choose to tell certain truths, you can achieve your desired goal.

After Volker heard this, he was very confused.

He was still afraid of King Louis XIV of France.

A noble is a noble and a king is a king.

When Wickham saw Walker hesitating, he sighed and said: "Uncle Walker, do you think we surrender to King Louis X now?

Will the king let us go, or use our heads to give an explanation to the remaining nobles?

From the moment we decided to hang the nobles, there was no chance of rapprochement between us and the Bourbons.

The Bourbon dynasty was also founded by the Bourbon family hundreds of years ago.

What the Bourbons could do before, Uncle Volker may not be able to do now.

As long as we subdue all opponents, Uncle Volcker will be the king of France."

When Walker heard this, his heart felt like a kettle that had just been boiled, boiling continuously.

Wickham's words directly woke up the somewhat confused Walker.

Let Volker realize what he has been vaguely thinking all this time?

He wants to destroy the Bourbon dynasty, destroy Louis XIV, and become the true king of France.

Walker never believed in the theory of blood and that the Bourbons could rule the Kingdom of France.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! That just shows that the Bourbon dynasty is powerful. Once the Bourbon dynasty declines, the throne will inevitably fall into the hands of other people.

Everyone has a chance to get the throne, but why can't that person be himself.

Walker said excitedly: "Okay, let's capture Louis XIV and use him to intimidate all the forces in the city.

Let them know that we are the most powerful force."

Walker brought his elite men, who were heavily armed.

They took advantage of the darkness and came to the West Gate of Paris.

All the defenders near the city gate have disappeared.

When Wickham saw this situation, he felt that he was too cautious.

If I had known that the city wall was undefended, it would have allowed people to leave the city directly.

Walker occupied the city wall and detached some elite troops to defend the city gate.

He wanted to prevent other forces from seizing the city gate, trapping them outside the city gate, and letting the kingdom's army strangle them.

Walker led the remaining troops, as well as the defense equipment captured from the city walls, to the Palace of Versailles in the western suburbs of Paris.

As the team marched, under the cover of night, some people quietly left the team.

They soon arrived at this magnificent building built by several generations of French kings.

Wickham saw that the Palace of Versailles was heavily defended and they lacked engineering heavy weapons.

"Uncle Walker, we can use a simple catapult to throw kerosene and light the Palace of Versailles on fire.

Let Louis XIV come out on his own, and we can capture Louis XIV in one fell swoop."

Volcker considered himself attacking Versailles.

If the integrity of this palace is taken into consideration, the casualties will definitely be huge.

This is not conducive to his subsequent return to the city to compete with other forces.

He agreed with Wickham's suggestion.

These items were all city defense equipment and were quickly placed outside the Palace of Versailles.

Clay pots filled with kerosene were thrown into the Palace of Versailles using trebuchets.

The hot solid iron balls were fired from artillery to the Palace of Versailles.

The hot iron ball hit the kerosene and immediately caused a raging fire.

The Palace of Versailles, which symbolized the royal power of the French Bourbon dynasty, was quickly set ablaze.
