"The civilian resistance in Paris is very fierce. I don't know if it is your tradition, nor do I want to launch a strong attack to cause unnecessary losses. Our professional soldiers are dealing with equal opponents, not civilians. So I decided to let you go back to Paris to persuade them to dissolve immediately and let us occupy Paris peacefully. As long as you are willing to negotiate, we will return Paris to you after the peace talks are over."

Sun Chuanting found the French archbishop Mazaran, who was in his army at this time, and told him the decision of the Holy Allied Army.

Mazaran's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. The French Kingdom had never suffered such a great loss after the Hundred Years of War in Britain and France, let alone the other party insisted on occupying Paris.

If even Paris is occupied, how can the Kingdom of France be able to raise its head in the continent in the future?

"You must occupy Paris? We have been defeated. Even if you do not occupy Paris, we will negotiate with you sincerely. You can do nothing to increase unnecessary casualties. As long as you retreat to the city of Amiens, I can lead the envoys to Amiens to negotiate with you." Mazaran still tried to avoid the fate of Paris being occupied.

"Master Cardinal, you should know that you should have chips in your hands during negotiations, and Paris is our chip. We must ensure that this chip is in our hands. Once we retreat to Amiens, you will mobilize troops again. At the same time, the princes of the Netherlands, Spain and Germany will organize troops to cut off our retreat from the east. Wouldn't we be attacked from both sides?" Sun Chuanting said.

"We must occupy the city of Paris." Prince Rupert and other English generals also insisted.

English people have always liked to be messing around. The situation is as chaotic as possible for them. How could they give up occupying Paris?

Although everyone knows that with the fierce resistance of Paris, it is unrealistic to permanently annex the place. After the peace talks, it is very likely that Paris will be returned to France, but occupying Paris is a rare military merit for the generals. During their limited service, they always have to stay so that they can tell their descendants that they once captured the capital of the Kingdom of France.

"I understand what you mean. As long as we are willing to hold peace talks, you will return to Paris and all the areas you occupied in this war after the peace talks are over, right?" asked Mazaran.

"All the occupied areas? You are really scheming. While you are going back to Paris, you also want to go back to other occupied places. These places are of course also our bargaining chips when we negotiate. If you want all the lost land, then you can show more sincerity in the negotiations with our diplomats." Sun Chuanting said.

At the Paris Citizens' Meeting, there was a group of nobles and merchants who stayed in Paris, and representatives of handicraftsmen gathered together. They were also mobilizing more civilians to participate in the defense of Paris, and a few farmers in the suburbs of Paris also participated in the defense of Paris.

In addition to the City of London, this is the largest city in Europe. A cannon was deployed on the city walls and streets. The civilian army was ready to face the strong attack of the Holy Allied Legion until the street fighting.

Unexpectedly, Sun Chuanting led the Sacred Alliance Legion to the City of Paris and stationed on the spot without immediately launching an attack on the City of London.

Archbishop Mazaran returned to Paris at this critical moment.

When King Louis XIII left Paris, the Cardinal, who was less than one person and more than ten thousand people, became the most powerful person in the city of Paris. Even the temporary Paris Citizens' Meeting was afraid of the Cardinal.

The last Archbishop Richelieu, the last Archbishop in the Clothing of the French Kingdom, reorganized the order of the French Kingdom with iron fist, and made the position of Archbishop in the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing of the Clothing

"Give up resistance immediately and give the city of Paris temporarily to those outside the city's jurisdiction. His Majesty the King and I will start negotiations with them, and after the peace talks they will withdraw their troops from Paris and other occupied areas." Mazaran issued an order to the Paris Citizens' Meeting in an unquestionable tone.

"But Paris is our French Paris, which is a symbol of the kingdom and must not be occupied by them!"

"We have organized 30,000 rebels, and dozens of various artillery and thousands of horses. We are familiar with the terrain and every street here. It is not that easy for them to occupy this place!"

"I believe that a second Joan of Arc will appear in France to help us fight the invaders!"

When the nobles in the citizen meeting dared not speak out, the merchants and handicraftsmen in the meeting opposed the command of the great man with a lot of complaints.

"Do you question my decision? This matter is not only related to Paris, but also to our Kingdom of France, but it is related to the entire continent! The enemies outside think that occupying Paris is equivalent to conquering our Kingdom of France, but our king is still there, and we still have 90% of the territory. Their actions will only make the continental countries more alert to them. Let's compromise for the time being, and then discuss revenge with the continental countries. There is no need to pay unnecessary casualties." Mazaran said coldly.

He did almost the same thing as the Great Vizier of the Ottoman Empire. After defeating the war, he temporarily compromised and then found a way to lift the shackles brought by defeat.

The Paris Citizens' Meeting still had dissatisfaction, whether it was against the king who fled privately or the archbishop in the Cardinal who ordered them to surrender.

The monarchy of the French Kingdom began to reach its peak after a series of measures by the previous Archbishop Richelieu. The merchants and handicraftsmen in Paris were not strong enough. Faced with the orders of the Archbishop, they had to surrender to the royal power and put down the clamps, spears, and swords in their hands.

However, this fall of Paris made the citizens of Paris vaguely have some new ideas. Some merchants and intellectuals began to contact the East that they did not understand. This group of people were later called "Enlighteners" and were committed to overthrowing the French royal power. Of course, this is what happened later.

"The Archbishop of Cardinal Mazaran has ordered the Paris Parliament and the Paris Rebels to give up resistance, and we can enter the city." Sun Chuanting received Mazaran's notice.

"Will this be their trap to lure us into the city and then catch turtles in the jar?" Cao Bianjiao said worriedly.

There are many cases of fraudulent surrender in the history of China, and countless ancient generals died in this strategy.
