Chapter 839
The corridor was quiet, except for Xiao Ran, there was no one else.
Xiao Ran glanced at the situation in the corridor, and then walked to the other end of the corridor.
As he traveled, he secretly opened his perspective and probed every apartment on the left and right.
As Jeremy said, the apartment in this building is mostly empty, with only some furniture covered with dust cloth, but not half a figure.
In some of these apartments, Xiao Ran successively found some very secret compartments and sandwich walls.
However, only one dark compartment stored some things, and the rest of the dark compartments and walls were empty, and they had not been opened for a long time.
The only dark compartment that had something stored several yellowed documents.
Coincidentally, those documents happened to be from the French Revolution, and the top one had the words of the Committee of Public Safety and was labeled top secret.
The contents of the document are documents of the Public Safety Committee to secretly suppress the royalists and execute the royalist members.
On this document, Xiao Ran saw several very familiar names.
These include the signatures of Robespierre, Danton, Saint-Juste, and Marat, among many other French Revolutionaries.
Without exception, they were all leading figures of the French Revolution, the backbone of the French Revolution, and most of them were important members of the Public Safety Committee.
And during the French Revolution, this Baroque building happened to be under the control of the Public Safety Committee.
The people who lived here were leading figures of the French Revolution and members of the Public Safety Committee.
It is inferred from this that the leading French figure who lived in this apartment building at that time was not only Robespierre, but he was the most famous!
The value of these execution documents hidden in Dark Gree is self-evident!
These few documents, once discovered and made public, will surely cause a sensation in the entire French historiography!
But in this Baroque apartment building, the value of these execution documents is not worth mentioning!
After a while, Xiao Ran had already arrived outside the apartment where Robespierre had lived.
He did not open the door of the apartment and entered, but stood outside the door and probed the situation inside the apartment through perspective.
In an instant, his gaze penetrated the door panel and penetrated the dusty apartment.
Compared to Jeremy's apartment, this apartment is a little bigger.
It has an area of about 130 square meters, a three-bedroom, two-hall structure, located on the inside of the apartment building, and you can see the garden and parking lot behind the building when you open the windows.
The decoration style of this apartment is also Baroque art.
But no one lived in it for a long time, everything in the apartment was old, and a thick layer of dust fell on the dust cloth covered with furniture.
Judging by the condition of the interior furniture and the thickness of the dust, the apartment has been idle for forty or fifty years.
This situation could not be more normal, after all, this is the apartment where Robespierre once lived!
The reason why the French are jealous of this apartment building and do not want to mention it is because of Robespierre's horrific reputation and the various haunted legends that come with it.
What's more, this is the apartment where Robespierre once lived, and how many French people would like to live in this apartment?
Xiao Ran quickly scanned the situation in the apartment, and then looked at a column in the corner of the living room.
The column is located at the angle between the two walls, it looks ordinary, it is the load-bearing column that supports this building, there is nothing special about it, and it cannot be removed!
However, when Xiao Ran's gaze penetrated into that pillar, an extremely secret dark compartment immediately appeared in his eyes.
It is a cylindrical lattice, hidden in the center of the column, only twelve or three centimeters in diameter but nearly three meters high.
In this pillar of darkness, it is stuffed with various paper documents wrapped in moisture-proof tarpaulin, roll after roll, leaving almost no gaps!
The moment he saw these documents, Xiao Ran almost cheered with excitement.
He knew very well that the discovery of these important historical documents would rewrite the history of the French Revolution and thus the modern history of the Western world.
The most important of these documents is the draft of the French Constitution of 1793, the Jacobin Constitution.
The Jacobin Constitution, adopted and promulgated on June 24, 1793 by the National Convention established during the French Revolution, is the Constitution of the First Year of the Republic, also known as the Constitution of 1793.
The new constitution declares France to be a unitary, indivisible republic with the principle of separation of powers.
This was the most democratic bourgeois constitution in modern world history, and it was also the first republican constitution in France.
Its promulgation had an extremely profound impact not only on France at that time, but also on the whole of Europe at that time, and played an important role in fighting the enemy and mobilizing the revolutionary enthusiasm of the people.
For France, and indeed for the entire Western world, the Jacobin constitution manuscript is a truly priceless treasure!
The discovery of the Jacobin draft constitution will surely cause a sensation throughout France and the entire Western world.
For Xiao Ran, he must take this apartment building and this Jacobin constitution draft, at all costs!
As long as you successfully get the Jacobin constitution draft, as well as the rest of the important historical documents, you can definitely ask for it in France!
At that time, as long as the Chinese antique artworks that Xiao Ran fancy and lost to France, no matter how precious and rare, can be exchanged, and the French can be slaughtered!
However, he could not have taken the Jacobin draft constitution and the rest of the historical documents with him, and the French would never allow these priceless treasures to be lost.
Even if the US Embassy in France intervenes, France, unlike Japan, still has a certain right to speak, after all, it is one of the world's five biggest hooligans!
Xiao Ran quickly checked the draft of the Jacobin constitution, and then adjusted his excitement slightly.
Then he looked at another volume of historical documents below.
This is a person's manuscript and working notes, as well as a portion of a personal diary.
It densely records the various events that occurred during the French Revolution, as well as personal perceptions and views of the French Revolution.
And this person is none other than the famous Jacobin leader, the incorruptible Robespierre.
In French and Western historiography, the fact that Robespierre's manuscripts and notes have not been fully preserved has caused great difficulties, even gaps, for the study of Robespierre.
The evaluation of Robespierre by historians, because there is no corresponding historical evidence, often reflects the ideology of the commentators themselves, and there are different opinions!
Some people think that he is too idealistic or rigid-minded and lacks the ability to act.
Others, however, believe that he is good at judging the situation and can take action at the right moment.
Critics call him self-centered, suspicious, and unsympathetic; Supporters praised him for his integrity, keen vision, and focus on the country and the revolution.
Some criticized him for constantly changing his position in the face of the wind.
However, some people believe that the principles and goals he adheres to have never changed, but according to the changes in the situation, he chooses different means to achieve the goal.
The evaluation of Robespierre by later generations is varied, and it is impossible to form a unity at all, and no one can convince anyone!
But there is no denying that Robespierre had a profound influence in French and world history, and many European revolutionaries in the 19th century paid tribute to him.
The discovery of these Robespierre manuscripts and notes in the column will completely rewrite the history of him and will fill in many historical gaps!
From now on, the historical assessment of Robespierre will be completely rewritten to become more objective and accurate.
While looking at Robespierre's manuscripts and notes, Xiao Ran also saw an execution warrant sandwiched in the notes.
It was an execution warrant issued by Robespierre himself, executed against one of the most important initiators of the French Revolution, Danton!
On a page containing the execution warrant, Robespierre wrote this line in his own handwriting.
"Today, one of my best friends died, and I personally ordered the execution!"
"All the charges inflicted on him are all frames!"
"But for the sake of France, for the sake of the revolution, I must do this, I must send this dear friend to the guillotine!"
"I'm sorry, George. Jacques. Dandong, may you rest in heaven! Seeing
this text, Xiao Ran couldn't bear it anymore, and finally exclaimed!
"Wow! Who would have thought that Robespierre, who was cold-blooded in the eyes of the world, would have such feelings!
"Who knew that those charges that Dandong was carrying were all framed!"
