Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 1565 The Treasure of Saint-Denis (5)

Napoléoni's speech was sometimes very jumpy, and sometimes the people who listened to him had no idea what he was talking about.

They had been talking about the wedding of the Princess of Naples, and Giorgina had asked him who the bridegroom was, but Napoleoni had asked her if she could replace him.

A normal person would think he was talking about the princess's groom, Prince Ferdinand of Spain, whom he replaced.

Usually the marriages of princes and princesses are decided by the parents or the council, but Prince Ferdinando married Maria Antonia of Naples-Sicily, named after her mother's favorite sister Marie Antonia. Named by Antoinette. The Empress of Naples was also an Austrian princess and sister of Marie Antoinette, who was married to Marie Isabel of Spain when Maria Antonia married Ferdinando. Antonia's brother Francesco. Her mother Maria Carolina's anti-French sentiment was extremely high because of the execution of her sister Marie-Antoinette and her brother-in-law Louis XVI in the French Revolution, which affected her son and daughter. It is conceivable what kind of turmoil a French princess would cause if she married into a pro-French Spanish court.

The current queen of Spain, Maria Luisa, doesn't like this daughter-in-law, and often orders people to search through her personal belongings. This family intensifies the hatred between the two. Ferdinando doesn't feel caught in the middle at all, he is very firm If you have to support your wife, you can imagine the relationship between the future king of Spain and Napoleon.

The marriage between Naples and Sicily is part of the "tradition". Charcoal is easy to obtain, but it takes a lot of trouble to make saltpeter and sulfur for gunpowder. Sulfur usually exists in volcanically active areas, such as remote northern Europe. People were mining sulfur in the 14th century. For the Musketeers of the kings of Europe.

There are also many volcanoes in Sicily. Since the 17th century, it has replaced northern Europe and become the main sulfur mine in Europe. Later, Spain also discovered high-quality sulfur mines. The sulfur extracted from "fool's gold" can only be used as sulfuric acid. Sicily and Spain This marriage had a serious impact on the production of gunpowder in France. Of course, Maria Carolina opposed the continued expansion of France, and Georgiana also opposed it, but their starting points were a little different.

Due to the limitation of France's national power, continuing to expand is not good for France. She agrees with the method proposed by the Brotherhood to use projects to conquer other countries, which can not only make money, but also expand France's influence.

But even if the dam is built, it will be destroyed if it is blown up with explosives. The current hostile relationship between the United States and France is also due to the Spaniards. Pierre Dupont came to France not just to sell land. The Spanish Navy blocked the Missouri River and intercepted American ships in order to block the port of Orleans. The United States is also preparing for this War was being waged against Spain and its ally, France, and Congress had begun preparing a wartime budget.

Later, Napoleon drove Pierre Dupont out of Paris in a rage. Dupont hurriedly wrote to Jefferson, hoping to invite James Monroe to negotiate. After receiving the letter from Pierre Dupont, he quickly handed over the work and came to Paris.

Gunpowder, which may appear to pacifists as the devil who punishes humanity, is at its root an alchemical by-product. The quality of the gunpowder produced by the United States is not good. Both the ratio and the craftsmanship are much worse than those produced by France and the United Kingdom. The shotgun was aimed at wild rabbits and wild deer. When the trigger was pulled, the animals were not hunted, but the barrel exploded. And the price is three times more expensive than in Europe. Monroe came to discuss the contract this time, and did not discuss the territorial issue at all. He hoped that France could export equipment for making gunpowder.

Pierre Dupont had three sons. The eldest son, Victor, was in charge of persuading Napoleon to sell machinery through Lavoisier's widow in France. At the same time, he was also looking for famous bankers in Paris to borrow funds. The younger son, Irene, was once a student of Chaputal. He and another brother, Artil, were responsible for technology, building factories and drafting business plans. Louis Nieka, the former finance minister of Louis XVI, Dukenwa, Swiss Banker Bigman is very interested in this plan.

Georgiana did not need to search for anything, and all her maids knew it well. After nearly two years of observation, Napoleoni said what he said before, hoping that she would "make more British friends."

Georgiana didn't know what deals the men had made in private, except that James Monroe passed Stephen, the English broker who had sold her a thresher, in the hope of meeting Georgiana.

The famous Monroe actually "asked for a meeting"? Georgiana smirked a few times before agreeing, who daydreams as crazy as her?

In order to restrict Napoleon, a man who "smells of gunpowder", Britain restricted the export of saltpeter from India, but the French still figured out a way to extract calcium nitrate by mixing animal urine and feces with plaster, and then added the barn , The soil nitrate dug out of the bacon shed barely meets the gunpowder demand of the French standing army.

The human body itself contains many chemical substances, which are not only used by painters for sketching, but also contain some trace elements in other plants and animals. Alchemists will add tulip petals, cow blood and alum to the raw materials in order to improve The quality of gunpowder.

After the British bombarded Copenhagen, the relationship between Denmark and the United Kingdom was very bad. Because of its special geographical reasons, the United States was far away from the war-torn Europe. He could obtain sulfur from Sicily and saltpeter from the United Kingdom. Although they have the materials, they don't have the technology, and they can't make good gunpowder either.

Fertilizer factories can sometimes become gunpowder factories. Even if it is not fertilizer, ordinary human and animal manure will become the source of gunpowder materials for the "French refining" method.

The power of gunpowder can be increased to the point of destroying everything, including the strength of the gun barrel, but such artillery is useless.

The range of the cannonball is related to the gunpowder. Bonaparte may have misunderstood it, thinking that Georgiana was conducting experiments in the tower on the fourth floor to study how to increase the strength of iron.

He wants to replace many things, such as the Bourbon royal family, the ordinary coronation ceremony is no longer enough, he needs an imperial coronation, overshadowing the king's coronation, in order to gain the "legitimacy" of ruling Europe.

When preparing for a wedding, girls hope that their wedding will be perfect, and they will participate in all the details. They must be perfect and make themselves the most beautiful bride.

Bonaparte didn't care about "transitions" and didn't want to spend too much money on "ceremonies". In the past, he asked Portalis to buy those ritual items at the cheapest price.

Georgiana had been fooled by the poor widow of two silver coins, but the difficulty now was to get the recalcitrant priests and returning exiles to be accepted by the republic.

Sometimes she wished she hadn't been so curious about the Corsican monster.

You can't control what people think of you, like the note posted on Georgiana's door: France doesn't need polygamy.

She found herself insensitive to the accusation.

"Whatever." She said numbly after reading the note, and then burned it.

She was deported from France and she couldn't go back to the UK. The only place to go is the United States of America. Just like Fox said, don't go too far. Voldemort wanted to kill the baby Harry, but he couldn't do it. He also used the time switcher to go back to the time when Voldemort was born, and killed him while he was young and weak. Not only would the child that should have been born not be born, but other children would also be caused. The problem.

The man who tried to kill baby Voldemort, for example, is indistinguishable from Voldemort himself.

So Georgiana decided to let nature take its course. She was too overwhelmed to do something like a praying mantis blocking a car.
