Harry Potter Morning Light

Chapter 2413 Reclaimed Eden (Part 2)

Georgiana thought that Lupe looked very gentle, but in fact he was a priest. He was born in a Catholic family in Alsace, and then his father decided to emigrate to the Dutch Republic to become the chief surgeon of the Rotterdam Admiralty.

Lupe himself had studied theology at the Ruvind Holland College. When he was preparing to go to Batavia to preach, due to problems between Austria and the university, Lupe moved to the University of Dovay to continue his studies. 1790 He came to Leuven again and studied at the seminary, where he remained until the summer of 1794.

In the spring of that year he was appointed deputy deacon and received a BA and MA, after which Rector Leuven sent him to study at the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris.

At that time, Napoleon had already made his mark in the Battle of Toulon. In July of the same year, his former backer, the Jacobins, also fell in the Thermidor coup. Originally, due to the merits of the Battle of Toulon, he was appointed as a coast inspector and coast defense officer. Commander, he was suddenly suspended and arrested in August. Although at that time he had already written his vote of faith to the new Communist Party, Salichetti wrote to the Committee of Public Safety, saying that Napoleon was not only Robespierre's best friend, but also that the treasonous plan to capture Genoa was from the in his hands.

On August 10, he was suspended and arrested. About 10 soldiers surrounded by an officer rushed into his residence, arrested Napoleon and escorted him to Nice. On the 12th, he was sent to Fort Carré. This incident caused an uproar among the Italian soldiers of the Alpine Legion. They believed in Napoleon more than the special commissioners who could only point fingers. What's more, if Napoleon is really escorted to the Paris Public Safety Committee for trial as rumored, their life will not be easy. The Italian Legion in the French Army was often sent to lead the battle. Napoleon did not change this situation, but he could increase the income of the Italian Legion.

The income of the elite and the miscellaneous army is definitely different. He embezzled the money from the Alpine Legion. The commissioner of the Alpine Legion has long gritted his teeth. They think that the Italian Legion and the Alpine Legion are equal. After Napoleon was arrested, the young soldiers of the Italian Legion planned to rob the prison by force with Juno, rescued Napoleon, and then fled to Genoa together.

But Napoleon rejected this plan and insisted on participating in the trial, but although he was released in the end, he was given a free gift. It was during this period that he researched Napoleon's theorem.

Lupe was originally a priest of the Carmelite sect and one of the four major beggars of the Roman Catholic sect. This organization was established in the Middle Ages and continued the way of life of the prophet Elijah. The Poverty Pledge, also known as the Barefoot Galmolos because they wore sandals instead of shoes and stockings during the Reformation.

Dedicated to charity, caring for the sick and teaching, and of course above all spirituality, the sect is best known for Mother Teresa of Ávila.

In short, everything he experienced in France shook Lupe's faith. In June 1795, he returned to Leuven and became the deputy secretary of the city of Leuven, and later became the director of the executive bureau. In order to express his loyalty to the French Revolution, He smashed the ancient cross at Leuven Town Hall.

In 1796 he became the administrative commissioner of Brussels. He strictly abided by and implemented the laws of the Republic, and with the support of the authorities, he established the French-language Freemasonry Grand Oriente in Brussels.

Freemasonry used to be an umbrella organization that only allowed men to join, and its important feature was the community of interests. For example, the Bird Protection Organization, which has hundreds of chapters around the world and is headquartered in Brussels. In addition to protecting birds and their habitats, the organization also hopes to make a difference in protecting birds and human livelihoods.

Some mother birds give birth to eggs but do not hatch, and people from conservation organizations will appear to incubate the eggs instead of the mother bird and let the chicks break their shells. Or some people poach rare birds to make specimens for profit, and people from conservation organizations will appear to stop them. This may involve some "violence" and judicial issues, and the organization will hire lawyers to provide protection and support for the protectors.

If there is a pioneering action, the organization will also send representatives to negotiate with the government to prevent them from destroying the swamps where the birds live. The Golden Snitch is a substitute for the Snidget bird. This bird is about to become extinct because of Quidditch. In order to protect this bird, a protection law was passed to promote the popularity of the Golden Snitch. At the same time, there are more jobs for the Snitch maker.

The ancient Freemasons were not pagans. Although they were deeply influenced by deism and anti-clerical thought, they could only be regarded as heretics. Many people still insisted that they were Catholics.

The Great Eastern Freemasonry has an obvious liberal tendency. They are more agnostic, even atheist. The members of the club pursue the freedom of conscience and advocate the exclusion of religious influence. To put it another way, there is a split within the Freemasonry, which is composed of the Catholic camp and the liberal camp, and the two factions are divided.

Before Roupe, the owner of the clubhouse was Pierre Pacino, a member of the Rosicrucian order when Brussels was still occupied by the Austrians.

After Lupe returned, he was considered a "own member" of the Freemasonry, and the Grand Masters generally lived in the clubhouse, and they did not have their own homes.

But Freemasonry is also known as the Fraternity. It has no family, but brothers. Lupe's biggest supporter is Charles Lambrechts, who is also from Leuven. Cambáceres was replaced by the second ruling. Charles Lambrechts was called to Paris, returned to Brussels after leaving office, and became the chairman of the political commissar of the Dyer department.

After the outbreak of the Brabantine Revolution, Lupe became the successor of the high-ranking official Mallarme. He immediately fought the partisans and defeated their leader Charles de Rubevagne. During the battle, Lupe fell from his horse. , had to take a long time to recover.

After the Brumaire coup, Paolo Arconadi-Visconti became mayor of Brussels, during which time Lupe founded the Amis Charitable Society and became an honorary master in 1800.

It was really a Masonic house, but its main purpose was charity and a beggar's workhouse, where he accumulated his prestige.

Rupe, who took over as mayor of Brussels after Paul's resignation, was soon at odds with France over Brussels' city walls.

Brussels has two city walls, both built during the reign of the Dukes of Brabantine in the Middle Ages. Brussels means "a settlement in the swamp" in Dutch. It originated from a small island on the Seine River. It was inhabited during the Roman rule. The island is full of yellow irises. The city emblem of Brussels in the Middle Ages is a yellow flower. irises.

The first city wall that established the old city of Brussels was built in the 13th century. It connected the Seine River and surrounded the Duke's Castle and two churches on the Cold Mountain. .

After the Duke of Brabantine III died of the Black Death, his two sons also died. The eldest daughter Joanna became the Duchess. Shortly after she succeeded, the Earl of Flanders, who married Joanna's sister, rebelled , He quickly occupied Brussels and planted the Flemish lion flag on the grand square in the city center.

After Joanna successfully returned to the city, she soon realized the weakness of a city wall, so Brussels built a second city wall. Very limited. When the Sun King Louis XIV attacked the city, the Spanish defender in charge of defense adopted the Vauban model and massively built the city defense project. However, this transformation was in vain. The French set up artillery on the high ground in the southwest. After crossing the layers of city walls, they hit the square.

But the Brussels people did not surrender, so Louis XIV ordered the bombing of Brussels, destroying the city center and the first city wall.

In the Austrian succession war in the 18th century, the defensive role of the city wall was even lower. People expressed doubts about its existence, but Joseph II was still blocked when he wanted to demolish it.

The lowland countries are very humid. Anyway, the wood that was originally used to build the city walls came back to life, sprouted and grew again, and became good wood. Two merchants planned to cut them down and sell them for money.

This incident was stopped by Lupe. Later, the smuggling case of the former mayor of Antwerp broke out, and two Brussels businessmen were suspected of being involved. Lupe protected them and offended French police minister Fouche. In 1802 he was summoned to Paris, where he was tried and imprisoned, and the citizens of Brussels petitioned for his release.

His mayorship was in jeopardy upon his return, but he sent Georgiana a satirical painting anyway.

As for his signing of the contract, agreeing to use the forest outside Brussels as collateral also won popular support.

When chatting with Bonaparte, Lupe also mentioned southern Belgium, but he did not mention the definite place name of Charleroi like Henri van Langenhofen did.

Charleroi is located between Namur and Mons. Louis XIV’s road to Brussels did not pass through there before, but that place is on the banks of the Maas River. If the canal is built, not only Charleroi’s Coal can be shipped out, and Brussels and Namur are also linked.

Rupe doesn't have the same "opinion" as Langenhofen on building canals or railways, but he especially likes the No. 5 ball when he is playing. Even if there is a better opportunity, he has been chasing it.

Everyone watched him fight like this, but no one asked him why. Georgiana had been nestling on the sofa eating fruit, so she had no choice but to ask.

"Why do you keep hitting that ball, Mr. Lupe?"

Lupe looked back at her.

"Is William of Orange's orange the same color as this ball?"

Georgiana stared at her blankly.

"I remember that William III was the king of England. Do you miss the era of his rule?" Lupe asked again.

"He was dead when I was born, I didn't even know him," Georgiana said.

"I hope other people think like you too." Lupe looked at Bonaparte. "But there are still people who are obsessed with it."

"Don't you resent him for not passing laws to protect wizards?" asked Bonaparte suddenly.

"No." Georgiana said, "I'm actually glad he did that, but the Witchcraft Act was passed and there were more 'witches' persecuted."

"Séances are real?" Lupe asked Georgiana.

"You know there's perjury in court," she replied after a moment. "And it's easy to give perjury in this way."

"Can I invite you to our party?" Lupe asked.

"No," said Georgiana.

"Why?"

"It's illegal to use magic in front of Muggles," she sneered.

"How do I know if you're real?" Lupe asked.

"Really what?"

Lupe didn't continue to ask.

"You should go." Georgiana waved her hand, and the door of the room opened by itself, and everyone watched the scene in amazement.

"You..." Lupe trembled.

"My job is to keep the dignitaries safe," Georgiana said, "if you're as hated as Bonaparte."

The hated guy who was mentioned laughed.

"After meeting her, the number of times I was assassinated increased, and I might die sometime." He said with a smile.

Lu Pei looked at him with a dry smile, bowed and left the billiard room without looking back.

"Naughty," Mr. Martin rebuked her, and followed.

She stuck her tongue out at them and continued to eat the fruit.

Bonaparte came and lay down on her lap.

"Ah~" He opened his mouth wide, so she stuffed the apple in his mouth.

He chewed the juicy apple, squinted his eyes in delight, and laughed again.
