Chapter 1486 The Battle of the Island Owners
Le Quebel and his ship had already set fire to the scorched earth policy before they reached Santo Domingo.
Le Quebert himself would not go around talking about the restoration of slavery, which was a secret order given to him by Bonaparte, nor would the soldiers on the ship say that they would not know where they were going until they set off.
So who was it that they arrived in Santo Domingo before Le Quebel?
The Spaniards had already retreated at that time, and they may have been British or royalists.
In fact, Santo Domingo has exercised autonomy for many years, but at that time it was the slave owners who used this power. Now it is replaced by the Santo Domingo people who rule themselves, as long as they pay taxes on time.
Of course, this will also be described by some people as a raid on the colonies. If this is the case, the entire republic, and even the British mainland, will also be raided. Paying taxes is to use part of the money to protect the other part of the money. People who don't understand will always think not understand.
Where did Santo Domingo's white working class come from? Of course, they could not bear the local exploitation and went into exile overseas. Georgiana wondered why the Earl of Musbury handed Georgiana the "Factory Act". There are no holidays and low wages. People will choose places that are more suitable for their living environment. No, this is the migratory instinct of animals. These working class who can't stand the exploitation in the country have become learned people when they arrive on Santo Domingo Island.
If the people live too poorly, the ruler will be threatened.
Marie Antoinette is a famous deficit queen. Whether she is a scapegoat or not, she can't escape living a luxurious life.
Madame Dubarry’s last words before her death were “wait a moment”. Other people who lived like her before her death are not even qualified to leave a last word. The Place de la Concorde killed more than 1,000 people a year. The scene was too horrible. No wonder there are wizards Concealment spell to hide one's own neck, to fake one's own death.
Peace is beneficial to women. No matter how bad peace is, a war-torn environment will either be as big as Figel and able to fight like a man, or it will paint your face and make yourself ugly and ugly.
Georgiana had an intuition that Luderer's approach would be useless in Santo Domingo. When there was a little peace there, external forces would intervene and would not give France a stable source of income.
Theoretically, coffee can make people sober. In fact, from the first sip of coffee, Georgiana felt that it was bitter, sour and unpalatable. All smashed.
This time she didn't use a British thoroughbred horse-drawn cart, she was afraid of meeting terrible people, and tried to keep a low profile.
Matilda and Figl were accompanying her in the carriage, but Phyllis was not there, perhaps because of avoiding suspicion, perhaps because of her brother's position, women's opinions are often of no use at this time.
After this disaster was over, if Phyllis was willing to come back, Georgiana was willing to accept her, provided she was still willing to come back.
Napoleoni was caught in a trap, and there was one loop after another. If the knot is not untied, his fate of being imprisoned will repeat itself. Even God can’t solve this problem. Isn’t the church already involved?
She was tired, more than Severus still had Lily in his heart, and she didn't care anymore.
It was a nightmare, and it was history at the same time, and it was just being repeated before her.
Talleyrand's home was in the city center, a place almost as luxurious as Soubis's mansion, and Georgiana's carriage entered his home without hindrance.
The deposed foreign minister was still full of guests. She was guided by his housekeeper to a small living room. About ten minutes later, the crippled demon appeared.
This was the first time Georgiana met him formally. Before they met at social events, they just glanced at each other and didn't even say hello. This time she didn't know what to say.
"Sit down." Talleyrand said softly, pointing to the luxurious sofa.
She hesitated, sat down as he said, and then Talleyrand sat opposite her, and no one knew what to say.
"I understand your purpose." Talleyrand said first, "but I'm leaving for Berlin, and the negotiation with the Duke of Orange is also very important."
Georgiana sneered.
"Ceylon was not originally ours. It was cheated by your lover from the Netherlands. Later, it was given to Britain as part of the Amiens Peace Treaty. If it wasn't because he wanted to get his hands on India, I don't think there would be such compensation. question."
"How did you know?"
"He has sent people to Mauritius to take over the military base there, almost together with Cornwallis." Talleyrand said, "His aggressiveness is called 'Eagle Eye' by theorists, but unfortunately the cry of the eagle is too far away. He can’t hear it, it’s the time that limited him.”
"Why do you feel that way?"
"I believe that one day people will invent a tool that can talk to each other thousands of miles away. I want to see that future, but unfortunately I don't think I can see that day." Talleyrand said, "Can you see it?"
Not only seeing, she is still living in that world.
"It won't be as beautiful as you think." Georgiana said blankly.
"Look, it's the time that limited him." Talleyrand said with a smile, "You don't feel like a woman of our time, is it because you can see the future?"
Looking at the smiling French foreign minister, she suddenly felt that he was not so hideous.
"Lederer came to me just now, and the method he told me won't work."
"That's what I told the First Consul, but he had succeeded before, so he couldn't listen to it at all." Talleyrand restrained his smile, "I thought it was your trap."
"I don't think so." Georgiana said coldly. "Tell me, what should I do?"
"Toussaint Louverture, only he can solve this problem." Talleyrand said firmly, "and his constitution."
Georgiana sneered, "You want an ambitious man to give up his ambition?"
"You need to understand that he made himself First Consul because Napoleon also made himself First Consul, but Napoleon didn't make himself First Consul for life, he did it, he did it to Napoleon challenge."
"What?"
"If he wins, he proves that he is greater than Napoleon, which is a shortcut to heaven."
Georgiana could hardly believe what she heard.
"How will he prove that he has won?"
"It might have been military at first, but now I don't know." Talleyrand shook his head, "Maybe it's a comparison of who is more attractive."
Georgiana had nothing against dark-skinned leaders, as Kingsley Shacklebolt did.
"I don't want him to guide Europe," said Georgiana dryly, "especially from an island."
"Napoleon came from the island too."
"That's the Mediterranean, not the Caribbean," she protested. "And I don't think he's as knowledgeable as Napoleon."
Talleyrand said nothing.
"Find a way to keep Toussaint Louverture alive, Georgiana." Talleyrand said after a moment. "Also, let him submit to us. Being a subject is not slavery."
"It's hard to say." Georgiana looked at Talleyrand's luxurious house. "I don't live in a place as luxurious as yours."
"I don't want to lose money to the Duke of Orange. Maybe Louisiana will also lose money to the Bourbon royal family if this is the first example, so that they have more funds for restoration." Talleyrand said, "I also oppose the sale of Louisiana. That."
"What else is there to do?"
"That's why God sent you." Talleyrand said flatteringly, "You are the real angel of peace."
Georgiana smiled and shook her head.
"It's easy for you to say, do you know how many people want Dusan Louverture's life?"
"There are also many people who want Napoleon's life." Talleyrand said pointedly, "Do you know how the Russians treat prisoners?"
Georgiana said nothing.
"Some Englishmen do have the heart of a king." Talleyrand stood up, "even if she is a witch."
After speaking, he dragged his limp away.
She remembered the cold and wet island that Napoleon had spoken of...
Is that island really a small island in the Caribbean?
