Fox of France

Chapter 40: , The premiere in turmoil (3)

    Because the singing team is arranged in the audience, and they don't have any special makeup. So when the song entered the chorus stage, these people suddenly began to sing, which surprised the surrounding audience.

   In this segment, only the first segment of the song is sung. When the song ended, the members of the singing team closed their mouths, and almost instantly became an audience.

"Hey, man, do you know how to sing this song?" A young man with hazel freckles on his nose gently pulled the sleeve of a singer next to a singer and asked in a low voice. .

   "Yes. We can sing." The singer replied simply.

   "This song is really exciting!" the young man exclaimed.

"There are a few more passages after this song. I only sang one section here, and I sing it all later. It's more powerful." Another person interjected, "I live nearby and have heard them practicing this song these days. ..."

   "Shut up, I won't hear the lines anymore!" Another person complained.

   The drama on stage continued, Vesuvius was too small to accommodate the rebel army. Regarding the future movement of the insurgents, Spartacus and another insurgent leader Kress had a disagreement. Spartacus believed that the Roman legions were very strong. After this battle, they had attracted the attention of Rome, and it was difficult to stay here. The rebel army should take advantage of the fact that the armies on the border of Rome have not been transferred back, leave Rome, go north, cross the Alps, first establish their own free country on the north side of the Alps, and then wait for the strength to grow before fighting. Come back to Rome and free all the slaves. Kress believed that Spartak was too courageous. He felt that the Roman Corps was nothing terrible. The insurgents should stay there, lay down the Roman cities, liberate the slaves there, and then continue to fight and free the slaves. Strengthen yourself and eliminate the evil slavery at least.

   Neither of them can persuade anyone. In the end, they can only resort to democratic voting. As a result, most of the rebel soldiers chose to support Spartacus. Kress was therefore indignant. Finally, when Spartacus led the army to the north, he asked to be the guard of the army. When the rebel army set off, he left the rebel army with a group of soldiers, and launched an attack on the Roman city. The result was an ambush by the Romans. When Spartacus arrived, they were completely wiped out. The Romans executed all prisoners of war with cruel punishment. Seeing all this, the insurgents were furious. They were unwilling to march north and demanded revenge. Spartacus could not persuade everyone and had to vote again. As a result, everyone chose to stay and fight in Rome this time.

   "It's so bad to stay in Rome, why should Spartacus obey democracy?" An audience member couldn't help asking, "What do those slaves know?"

"You're not right." Another person retorted. "If Kress could obey democracy like Spartacus, there would be no such thing. And you said,'What do those slaves know?' Those priests and nobles will use the same words to say to us!"

   The Spartacus Rebels stayed in Italy. Under his command, they continued to win victories, but Spartacus was increasingly worried. Because he knew that victory was only temporary. The main force of the Romans is approaching. He constantly tried to persuade the soldiers of the rebel army to go north, but his suggestions were always rejected by everyone.

Crassou led the Roman army to block the Spartacus rebels' northward road. They approached step by step. Spartacus led the rebels to the south while contacting the pirates, hoping to cross the sea and retreat to Sicily. . But when they arrived at the agreed location, the pirate fleet did not appear. So they were surrounded by Krasu's army. Krasu sent a letter to Spartacus to persuade him to surrender. He promised that if Spartacus surrendered, he would become a Roman citizen and general. But when Spartacus asked about the other slaves, Crassou replied: "They will return to the manor and gladiator school and continue to be slaves."

   Spartacus refused Krasu's persuasion to surrender and led his troops to break through the siege. After paying a huge price, they finally broke through. But the Romans brought in more troops, which forced Spartacus to fight against Crasu's army in April.

   Before the decisive battle, Spartacus Krasu met. Krasu used the last condition to persuade Spartacus to surrender. Spartacus also rejected Krasu again. He and Krasu agreed that everyone would fight to the death on the battlefield early tomorrow morning.

  On the battlefield, the insurgents were defeated with fewer enemies, and Spartacus died on the battlefield. His adjutant, Enomayi and more than 6,000 other fighters were captured. Krasu ordered that they all be crucified.

  The last scene of the play is the crucifixion of Enomayi and two other rebel soldiers. They were forced to carry their crosses and erect them themselves. Then the Romans nailed them to the cross. The two warriors were nailed on both sides, Enomayi was nailed in the middle.

   "This is blasphemy!" A priest held the cross on his chest tightly with his hands, and said viciously in a low voice.

   Indeed, this scene is obviously imitating the scene of **** being crucified in the Bible. At that time, **** was carrying his own cross and was crucified with two other prisoners. The two prisoners were on both sides and **** was in the middle.

The two crucified warriors hung their heads and sobbed. Enomayi, who was also crucified, thought about looking left and right, and then shouted: "What's the matter, my brother, can it be said that losing life is better Is it even more terrible to be slaves? Yes, we did not win freedom for ourselves in the end, but we at least won for ourselves. From then on, we will never be enslaved again! This time we are defeated, but in the long run, our career will be determined There will be no failure. The slavery system of people oppressing and enslaving people will definitely be overthrown! Spartacus's reputation and career will be immortal! Brothers, let us sing our war hymn for the last time!"

   Then Enomayi first sang: "Debout!lesdamnésdelaterre, Debout!lesfor?atsdelafaim......"

   In his song, the two soldiers who had been nailed to the cross stopped crying, raised their heads, and sang along:

  "Laraisontonneensoncratère:

  C’estl’édelafin"

The Roman soldier holding a spear raised his head in horror, looking at the slaves who were crucified, and shouted in a panic voice: "No singing! No singing!" A soldier also shot Enomayi's ribs with his spear. A shot was stabbed, and blood flowed out immediately.

   "This, this is really terrible blasphemy! Lord, may you bring down the thunder..." the priest gritted his teeth in a low voice.

   In the "Bible", after **** was crucified, in order to check whether he died, a Roman soldier named Longinus also stabbed **** in the ribs with a spear. Later, this gun became a sacred object of the Catholic Church and was called the Gun of Longinus. There are even legends such as "As long as you hold the gun, everyone within a 120-foot radius will surrender. Those who hold the gun can dominate the fate of the world, but those who lose will die immediately." These legends really deceived many people in later generations, and even Hitler once begged for spirits with it fanatically. It is said that he also got this holy gun at one time, however, this did not allow him to win the Second World War.

   But Enomayi's singing did not stop, he continued singing.

   This lyrics has been sung once before, and its lyrics and melody are very simple, so many audiences in the theater also sang along. Only the priest had a pale face, his head down and said nothing.

   is different from the previous choruses. This time, the team sang the whole song directly~www.readwn.com~Of course, in the original history, this song should have six paragraphs. But Joseph, who came across, could not fully remember the lyrics of these six paragraphs. Because in the later generations of Chitu, due to translation reasons, (some paragraphs translated into Chinese are almost impossible to sing) this song is basically only sung three paragraphs. So Joseph has copied it now, and only the original first, second and sixth paragraphs remain.

   With the singing of the second paragraph, the whole theater suddenly fell silent. Over the years, under the influence of Voltaire and the like, the French are far from the "piety" of the past, (but to be honest, France, as a filial daughter of God, did not do too many blasphemous things before. .) But such songs that directly deny religion still surprised everyone. But because of widespread dissatisfaction with the church, such extreme denial of religion made everyone more excited. When the chorus sounded, more people joined the chorus.

   is followed by a more explicit and full of passionate sixth paragraph:

   And the priest had slipped out quietly at this time and disappeared into the street.

   After the song was sung, the whole theater was quiet for a while, and then a voice rang: "Great, this song is great! Can you sing it again?"

   Then the whole theater was filled with such prayers:

   "Sing it again, I haven't remembered some words!"

   "Please, sing it again."

   "Sing it again!"

   The original curtain has been lowered, and the actors and singers are planning to leave, but under such a request, everyone had to sing the song again, and then again... In the end, it was sung six times. Obviously, this premiere was an unprecedented success.
