Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1402 The Concubine of Paris (6)

On September 1, 1792, he returned to Corsica on vacation to plan independence, but Napoleon, who failed, returned to Paris. He came to the girls' school founded by Mrs. Pompidou to pick up his younger sister Mariana. The two hid in a house with closed doors and windows for several days.

The main road was blocked by a fence, and the blockade on the road was not reopened until September 9th. Napoleon and his sister left Paris together and arrived in Marseilles on the 15th. Who knew that there was no boat, and they waited for a month before arriving in Ajaccio by boat.

The little person who was displaced in troubled times ten years ago has now become a "player". Georgiana has nothing to say except to sigh "fate".

Napoleon came to Italy after crossing the Alps, and collected special war taxes from many towns. He also collected them when he arrived in Egypt, but he didn’t search for art as much as he did in Italy. Those ancient Egyptian stone sculptures were placed in the wilderness In the eyes of Bey's wives, those are worthless things. Such as gold and silver, horses, and camels, the French did not plunder. Arabian thoroughbred horses are world-renowned good horses. However, in France, there are only a few sporadic horses in the horse numbers of Napoleon and senior generals, which are rarely seen on the market.

Sometimes one's vision really decides one's fate. If Merope can sell Slytherin's locket at a high price, little Tom Riddle won't be so hard-pressed. When a man is forced to a certain extent, he will become Unscrupulous, will not hope to get sympathy and help from others through tears like women, and change their situation.

The ring that Napoleon gave to Georgiana must be a precious thing. Mamluks once fought with Genghis Khan’s army, and they had victories and defeats with each other. It is not certain that this ring was a spoil of war looted during the war.

Albus also has an obsidian ring. Obsidian is formed in a volcano, which is very suitable for fire mages. However, the ring setting of that ring is silver. Compared with gold, silver guides the magic power better. This ring should be melted. Georgiana needs to find a wizard who knows alchemy to change the ring setting for herself.

The first thing she thought of was Nick Flamel, who should still be in Paris by now.

However……

Georgiana looked at Ms. Chamorro, who was mingling with her in the crowd and watching. She was applauding for the guard of honor in formation.

According to Napoleoni, in addition to the theater, this "goddess" occasionally joined a secret group, all members of which were women, and it was said that they were studying divination.

There was an intelligence company under Napoleon, and there were women members in this company, but they couldn't infiltrate the small group.

He was very curious, and he tried divination before. At that time, the wizard in charge of divination killed a chicken, dissected its internal organs, and then performed divination. The process was not only bloody, but also looked very barbaric. He regarded divination as a It's a joke.

Later he met Josephine, who knew a female fortune teller, her name was Maria Adelaida Le Normand, this fortune teller Josephine met through Mrs. Talian, Maria She used to divination for Robespierre and Marat, and was honored as a guest of honor by the upper class in Paris at that time, because she successfully predicted that both Robespierre and Marat would die unexpectedly.

The result of her divination for Josephine is that for a period of time, the fate of France will be in the hands of Josephine, and she will soon meet a man who makes her fall in love with all her heart. Very famous, but in the end she will be abandoned by him again.

Josephine didn’t believe it at first, but Maria picked up Josephine’s finger, pricked one of her fingers with a gold needle, and said to her, “I’ll show you something, people who used to come to divination didn’t have that blessing.” You have to remember, when you become rich and powerful, you will protect me."

Then she dropped Josephine's blood into a bowl filled with an unknown liquid. The drop of blood continued to spread and change shape. At first it looked like violets, tulips, and finally lilacs, congealing into the shape of a crown.

Maria randomly said to Josephine in an unmistakable tone, "You will be queen."

Josephine left Maria's salon in a daze, she didn't take it seriously at first, then she met Napoleon, because of his series of victories, and later became the first consul, and then she really started to be a queen dream.

After meeting Georgiana, Napoleon took Josephine to find that woman again for divination. He made up his mind to see if this woman was a real prophet or a female liar using illusion.

But this time the prophetess refused to divination for Josephine and Napoleon. It didn't take long for the salon where she had stayed to catch fire, and Maria's whereabouts were also missing.

Napoleon wanted to know what Miss Chamorro's small group was researching, and also wanted to know whether Maria was really dead or in hiding. In short, Georgiana wanted to use the pretext of changing the ring to get close to her.

Georgiana believes in prophecies, but she doesn't believe them all. There are so many prophecies in the Department of Mysteries, but very few of them actually hit the mark. The most famous prophecy is also a kind of "cause and effect relationship". If that prophecy is true, Harry Potter, the boy with the lightning scar on his forehead, will no longer exist.

Napoleon's fate has actually been decided. He died as a prisoner on a small island, and now Georgiana is just dreaming with him.

This dream is so real, it makes people linger and forget to return, and they don't want to wake up at all.

But they are indeed two hundred years behind. If Napoleon won, with his attitude of contempt for women's education, there would be no women like Georgiana.

A down-and-out scholar can dream that he has become a high-ranking official and lived a life of ups and downs, but after waking up from the dream, he is still that down-and-out person.

Because his life was so much like a dream, Napoleon desperately wanted to leave traces of his existence and become "immortal".

Napoleon delivered a speech to the Italian Front in Milan on May 15, 1796:

Soldiers, you rushed down from the Apennine Plateau like a torrent.

These "mountain torrents" went to Egypt after flowing through Italy. At the end of December 1798, Napoleon took the academicians of the Academy of Sciences Monge, Bertolier, engineer Renard, his entourage, and 200 cavalry guards to set off from Cairo to the Red Sea. Surveying the ancient bed of the Suez Canal.

On December 24th, the team camped by the Birka al-Hadri Lake, and some businessmen who were going to Suez for business also camped here. Two hours before dawn on the 25th, the campers set off in full gear. Very well, the sun makes people feel warm, but it is very cold at night. This is they are in the wilderness, surrounded by only a strange tree called Hamra. According to legend, anyone who touches it will be considered a godless A man who is to be cursed by others.

The soldiers did not touch the tree, but found animal bones and seven or eight inches of dry grass in the nearby river valley to keep warm. They set off again the next day and only traveled for two hours. Before the sun came out, they encountered When I arrived at a deep pit, a huge old locust tree grew in the pit, and the inscriptions of pilgrims were engraved on it.

They stayed by the Suez Canal until January 30th, and he said he remembered the cold nights, and the howling of jackals, which sounded so human that the sentinels got it wrong several times, saying Signal of battle alarm.

During the survey, the squadron brought a lot of Indian goods, and he returned to Suez from the desert. Because of these Indian goods, Suez seemed to have become an Indian city.

Because of the arrival of the French, Egypt could more accurately predict the flood of the Nile River. On August 18, 1798, outside the ancient city of Cairo, 200,000 people stood on both sides of the Nile River, and thousands of them were decorated with various colorful flags. Sailboats are also waiting for the flood of the Nile to arrive.

A group of French military officers and Egyptian officials in formal dress surrounded the Kebir Sultan and the descendants of the Prophet, dug the embankment according to the usual ritual flow, the Nile River rushed into the canal from a height of 18 feet, and Cairo's square soon became Lakes were flooded, some streets became canals, and gardens became submerged pastures, as if the whole of Lower Egypt had become a vast ocean.

This is an extremely beautiful picture, and it has been artificially designed. The spiers of some monasteries and the tops of the tombs seem to be floating on the water. Thousands of sailboats travel on the Nile River. The soldiers no longer say that the Nile River is just a name. , No longer say it is a muddy river.

By December, the Nile had returned to its original level, and the land was exposed again. Thousands of farmers began plowing and preparing the land. After a few weeks, the first crops were grown.

The field was so full of flowers that the soldiers thought they were back in Italy.

Because the French participated in the Prophet's Day, and later on the French National Day, the locals also participated in the celebration. They built a small pyramid for Kebir Sultan. Various jugglers were also invited to perform, and a hot air balloon was released. There were no people in it, only some poems in Turkish, Arabic and French. After the balloon rose, it disappeared over the desert.

This hot air balloon did not arouse the curiosity of the Chinese people. When Napoleon told this story, he did not think that he could build a navy without any trouble. Flying over the English Channel at night, taking control of the British royal family and Parliament, his most annoying problem was solved, and there were no anti-aircraft guns and aircraft in the early 19th century.

But Georgiana wouldn't remind him.

At this time, Josephine and Napoleon, wearing a rose-red tulle dress decorated with silver stars and wearing a crown of wheat ears, drove past the Egyptian expeditionary force in an open carriage. Napoleon was wearing a red review uniform, Like a prince, today's weather is fine, like spring has arrived, and you won't feel cold if you wear thinner clothes.

The "game" has only just begun.

It seems that William Pitt Jr. took the bait, thinking that France really wants to deal with Germany and expand its territory and interests in the mainland. Therefore, Belgium is used to provoke the relationship between the two countries, so that the German-French armistice agreement cannot be extended, so that Britain can monopolize the interests of the Mediterranean up.

As long as Malta is occupied, the entire Western Mediterranean of Italy will be blocked, but Italy still has trade in the Eastern Mediterranean, and that area is patrolled by the Turkish Navy. What's more, if Belgium is also blocked, then the trade of Britain and other European countries will also be blocked. Well, unless Britain still wants to trade with the United States, or expand its colonies, the problem is that France will not cede Tobago, and Britain will have to find a place to settle in South America.

William Pitt Jr. needs the support of the military. He is now the "outside" Prime Minister. He raised this topic and it may not be written into the "Amiens Peace Treaty", unless someone's brain is crazy.

It is also an idea to instigate Turkey and Russia to invade India, so that the United Kingdom has to dig through the Suez Canal because of the long supply. The question is how to realize it?

She thought there was a common threat, that signing and dating would be easy, and history says so.

Napoleon liked big scenes, and he just wanted to enjoy the "celebration banquet" on October 10. After all, his birthday party was too disappointing.

"You wayward little bastard." Georgiana scolded as the others applauded.

Even if the meeting failed, he had already played it, and if it did, he would do it again. This time the scene would definitely be bigger than the last time, after all, the last time was only held in the Tuileries Palace.

For example, set off fireworks or something so that the whole city can see it.

People still prefer joy to pain.

Lana got into a big trouble this time. He embezzled the military pay issued to the Guards to renovate the house for himself. Napoleon had promised Lana that he would pay for the house decoration money as a wedding gift for him. But when the bill came, it exceeded Napoleon's budget, so Napoleon refused to pay.

Georgiana hadn't estimated how much St. Luke's decoration would cost. If she owed debts to Lana and Josephine, Napoleon didn't know how to teach her a lesson.

In order to punish Lana and put aside complicated interpersonal relationships, Lana was sent to Antwerp by Napoleon. Where would Georgiana be sent?

She wants to be isolated from the world, she wants to live in seclusion for a while, there are too many people, she wants to find some peace, preferably somewhere like Elba Island, where no one can bother her.
