Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1485 Princess Champagne
Territories with mineral resources were often entrusted by the king before the Great Revolution. The Constituent Assembly only confiscated the fiefdoms of the church and did not confiscate the nobles, so many of those engaged in the smelting industry were liberal nobles.

Lyoncourt's reputation was as good as the old Duke of Saint-Simon's, and they and posterity survived the Reign of Terror.But other aristocrats are different. They left France for various reasons. The upstarts and celebrities bought their properties. As those exiles returned to China one after another, the upstarts and celebrities also began to worry that the places they bought would be taken back. Back to the exiles.

This is the information Matilda sent after she went out to inquire about the news.

Georgiana suddenly discovered Matilda's cuteness, no wonder Sophie regarded her as a good friend.

Georgiana felt much better when someone was with her at this time, and this was Marmont's strength.

Gaining power and losing power are sometimes as simple as that. The news of Santo Domingo’s defeat has not been widely spread. Many people think that Napoleon got everything he has now because of luck. Can save the defeat.

She hoped that there would be more people like this. The problem is that even the Swiss are not willing to go, who would want to go?

In a restless mood, Pierre-Louis Ludrer, the president of the Sampiny Carriage Chamber of Commerce, came. To the Senate.He participated in the Constitutional Convention, served as a lawyer and judge of the High Court of Metz, was elected to the three-level parliament in 1789 to be in charge of financial reform, and later served as deputy inspector general of the Seine department. He supported Louis XVI in the Paris newspaper, 1792 On August 8, when sans-culottes broke into the Tuileries Palace, they helped the royal family take refuge in Congress.

Sampigny is located near the forest of Compiègne in Haute-France, and is an important town for the manufacture of carriages in France.Some of these carriages are used to transport cannons for military use, and they must be of good quality.

Joan of Arc was also cornered near the forest of Compiègne before, and Gaston Martin always said that he was worried that she would become Joan of Arc, and now what he said seems to be coming true.

He had brought a present, a bottle of champagne from his own winery, and Georgiana didn't think there was any victory to cheer about now.

After sitting in the living room, Ludrell's eyes stayed on Figel, who was following Georgiana. Figel stood in a straight military posture, with a calm and natural expression, not cramped at all.

"Are you a dragoon?" said Luderer.

"Yes, sir." Figel replied immediately.

"In 1792, everyone enthusiastically reported that the people joined the army. Even Mademoiselle de Merigu, with a pistol on her waist, appeared at the National Convention and demanded the formation of an 'Army of the Amazons'."

"That's when I joined the army," Figel said.

"How many battles have you been in?" Luderer asked.

"I joined the army to defend my beloved motherland. In order to take responsibility with my comrades in arms, I had to attack people I had never met. They never hurt me. Under the shadow of swords and swords, both sides often forget the so-called humanity...so I don't remember how many campaigns I've been in," Figel said, frowning.

"Every court session is like a duel, but I remember every case I tried, and the faces of those people. Only champagne can make me forget them." Ludrell said.

No one spoke, and Georgiana thought he might have drunk to forget about August 8th.

"You can rest now, soldier, we're safe here," Luderer said.

Figel bowed to the two, then backed away.

After she left, Luderer said softly, "Do you want to be the second 'Cleopatra Marie'? Princess?"

"Is the situation that bad?" Georgiana asked blankly.

"The First Consul is letting us send spies to England to collect scandals in Parliament. The war does benefit many people. The price of everything will be higher, and some petty crimes that do not affect the war will be pardoned. The British Secretary of the Navy Charles There was a case of embezzlement of public funds by a timber supplier, but it is currently covered by public opinion about the abolition of income tax, and the end of the war of words is usually hands-on, do you want peace to end so early?"

"What does this have to do with my hope? Peace would not last forever." Georgiana sneered, "What kind of peace treaty is it? It's simply an armistice."

"The Baltic Sea is related to the grain and timber business between Britain and Russia." Ludrell said, "Because of the severance of diplomatic relations with Britain, Russia lost its timber market, and the expelled Russian nobles are currently returning. Britain re-aligned, and since you're so interested in timber, why don't you go ahead?"

"Because I found it a dangerous game." Georgiana said blankly, "Don't try to use me."

"I thought you already knew that this is a dangerous game." Ludrell smiled, "Purple robe is the most beautiful shroud, are you just saying this? Or are you going to listen to the arrangement of the First Consul?" To Annecy?"

"how do you know?"

"A monarch who is well-informed, open-minded, selfless, and relentless, he can accept even a 'royalist' like me. This is his advantage." Ludrell said blankly, "I think You know, he was there on the 8th of August, when I was in the window and he was out the window, and the king's family was gathered around the king, and their lives depended on the soldiers standing before him, and he could have relied on A word, a look to arouse their courage, but the king did nothing, the queen said angrily 'he is hopeless, everything is over', others felt the same way, I went back to the soldiers, Finding that they were not at all willing to fight for the cause, but the Commander-in-Chief Munda ran away, and the Artillery was unwilling to fire, so I was sure the guards were hopeless, and the First Consul told me what the Empress was planning to say at the time , she was eager to fight, to say something to everyone, but she didn't say anything, and instead she asked Delveli 'Do you now think it was a mistake for us to stay in Paris?', to which he replied 'God Bless you, you shouldn't regret it', you should encourage the First Consulate to keep fighting instead of begging him for mercy."

"I can't." Georgiana shook her head.

"Think about the consequences for you. The outcome of failure is terrible. The French respect Caesar, but they don't like Cleopatra. Do you want him to be said to be a good man, but a bad king?"

"That's inhumane."

"Killing unarmed civilians is also inhumane, why would you accept that?"

"I don't want to hear this, why don't you tell..."

"Josephine is a beautiful girl, she can't bear that much." Le Redel said, "You sympathize with the slaves, and I do too, but they chose revenge after they were free. We have 20 generals who died in that jungle. Our soldiers are hungry for vengeance too."

"God..." she murmured.

"Lion Cour told you that nothing that can be solved with money is not a problem, and now our problems cannot be solved with money." Le Redel said, "They demand equality, and in the military 'regardless of origin, appoint people on merit' The policy at least works. Generals Miura and Lannes are not famous. General Augereau's father is a servant. We also gave Louverture's officers equal opportunities for promotion, but they took advantage of us. It's unforgivable."

"What should I do?"

"In 51 BC, Caesar besieged Cagor, and Caesar withdrew his troops until the last of the Gauls who protected Gaul's independence died in battle. We can also use the same method to ask those cities and villages one by one whether they support the independence of Santo Domingo, and those who choose to submit to us, we will use your set of policies to hand over the local police power to the other party, choose To protect independent countries, we will bombard them with artillery, we will not go in by land or in the jungle, and our navy can be responsible for transporting materials.”

Georgiana is still weighing.

"The power of the republic is indivisible. Have you ever wondered who leaked the news that we were going to attack Santo Domingo and let the local people hear that I was going to restore slavery?"

She froze for a moment.

"This is a trap. Someone deliberately spread rumors. I think you also know the rumors last year. At that time, the first ruler was also angry, but it was not as severe as this time. What I want to say is that after the September incident, not every day Personally express condemnation and sympathy, as you English people do, Roland and Condorcet think it is necessary, cruel as it is, it is absolutely just, and you can't just think of justice for slaves."

"Too cruel." She shook her head.

"Then he will be like a king, and will use the orders of his ministers to cover up his crimes. Because the kings are far away from the battlefield, he can divide that land to a king, as long as the king pays taxes on time."

"Can you just let go of that land!" Georgiana said angrily.

"We can send people to publicize whether the local people support independence. Our purpose is to eliminate the people who support independence, not the poor slaves. Do you understand what I said?" Le Redel said loudly.

Georgiana wept.

She wanted to go home, why didn't Severus come to her.

"You don't need to care about the carriage factory in Annecy, you stay in Paris for me." Le Redel stood up "Don't just say it nicely, but in the end she is not as good as Marie Antoinette, at least she is still Dare to stay in Paris."

After saying that, he left.

Georgiana cried louder.

Maybe it's a punishment for letting some kids guard Hogwarts, who've been living in the closed world of a boarding school.

Then Matilda came and hugged her, and she woke up a bit, remembering the most hated person in the Order of the Phoenix, Mundungus Fletcher, who was actually a person similar to Talleyrand—a person scum.

"Prepare the carriage!" said Georgiana threateningly.

She didn't want to sit still, and she wanted to see where the betting dog was betting.

She looked at the champagne on the table and picked it up casually. She planned to use this as a gift.
