Harry Potter Morning Light

Ever since Maria Theresa rebuilt Milan in the neoclassical style, Sforza Castle has looked out of place.

Milan once served as the capital of the Western Roman Empire. The area where Sforza Castle is located is called "campo marizio", which means the area dedicated to Mars, the god of war. It has been often used for military training since ancient Roman times.

In the Middle Ages, the Duke of Milan of the Visconti family expanded the castle where they lived, moved the courtyard from the royal palace near the cathedral, and built a square castle intended to be the permanent residence of the Visconti family, which was also The current core area of ​​Sforzesco Castle.

During the construction of the castle in 1360, Gagliazzo Visconti, Duke of Milan, surrounded a section of the ancient Roman wall and its entrance as part of the castle's defense and entrance. At this time, there was a road between the city wall and the courtyard. Then his son added a training ground behind the moat, and then his son demolished part of the old city wall and unified the castle and city wall with bricks from the old city wall.

As the bridal chamber and later the residence of Galeazzo Sforza, the castle began to be decorated with large-scale frescoes in the 15th century, but due to the destruction of the Italian wars, Francesco Sforza returned to the castle At that time, the castle was remodeled and expanded to serve as the residence of his Danish wife Christina.

It was once built as a five-pointed star-shaped bastion, which was a popular fortification at the time and was still retained until the 19th century, which inevitably occupied part of the civilian residences outside.

The castle retained its military purpose when it passed from Spain to Austria's Habsburg dynasty, and the only artistic trace left here by the Austrians is the sculpture of St. John of Nepomuk, protector of the army, placed in the courtyard of the square. The commander Napoleon left here was named Lieutenant Colonel Rami. In 1796, there were 2,000 soldiers guarding the place, as well as cannons and a large amount of supplies. At that time, the Milanese petitioned for the demolition of the castle, and Napoleon immediately ordered the demolition of the castle. The bastion outside Erzha Palace.

During the demolition, a "covered passage" was discovered, which ran along the outer wall of the moat, a path made of bricks with a vaulted ceiling and lighting provided by a hundred small windows facing the moat.

"What little window?" asked Georgiana.

"It's the kind of small windows that are all over the outer walls of the castle," Antolini said. "Because there are so many, the rows of windows near the moat and below are ignored."

Georgiana couldn't imagine that there were windows under the moat, unless like the Slytherin common room, the windows were covered with glass and never opened.

"Take me to see it." She said eagerly. She knew there was a secret passage in the castle.

"What do you want the underground map of Milan for?" Antolini asked.

In fact, she just wanted to find out what was going on underneath the Sforzesco Castle.

Judging from the drawings brought by Antolini, the "covered passage" leads to the garden. If the situation is really bad and the castle cannot be defended, this secret passage can also lead to the outside of the castle.

"Where is Lieutenant Colonel Lamy?" Georgiana asked.

"He asked me to come to you... What do you want to do?" Antolini asked.

She looked at Antolini, and Antolini looked at her.

"What is the renovation plan?" she asked, turning her attention to the drawings.

"We plan to demolish this part, Sforza's court and prison." Antolini said immediately, "and use it to build public buildings, such as the stock exchange, which will be connected by arcades and warehouses and shops opened outside... …”

Antolini explained enthusiastically, but Georgiana saw the name "Dante Avenue".

She immediately thought of Esti, the niece of the Lord of Ferrara, whose coffin had two family crests.

"How about building a public library?" Georgiana interrupted Antolini.

"Of course... for a city of 150,000 people, just one Ambrose library is not enough." Antolini immediately changed his mind.

She didn't think so, she just thought that making the library more beautiful would make it a good place for a date.

Mrs. Pince often complained that there were many places for dating in the castle, so why did she have to go to the library to whisper.

The more some people don't let them do it, the more they want to do it. When they get married or become an "old married couple", they don't even want to say a word, or else they quarrel every time they open their mouths. That kind of thing they want to do when they are passionately in love. Gone are the conjoined twins.

It's not impossible for Anne's father's wife to inherit the inheritance that originally belonged to him. Maybe Anne's grandmother also knew what kind of person he was and did so in order to provide protection for her daughter-in-law.

However, she cut off her husband's financial support, but it did not make him change his mind and cut off contact with the maid and illegitimate daughter.

Some people may be afraid, but he felt that the last connection with his wife was money. When this connection was gone, he just took his new wife and daughter away and lived the life of a plantation owner in the United States.

At that time, the plantations were growing crops such as tobacco. After Anne became a pirate, she specialized in plundering slave ships and freeing the slaves. She also had "disagreements" with the subsequent governor of Nassau and refused to submit, just as she refused to compromise with her father and marry the son of the farmer next door to expand their territory.

Slavery was legal under the law at the time, but what about the reality?

If a thief steals someone else's mare and the mare gives birth to a foal, it is considered as fruit. If the original owner is found, both the mare and the foal must be returned to him.

Also in the Digest, Volume 22, Chapter 1, Article 28: However, the children of female slaves are not fruit, so they belong to the "person" of ownership. In fact, since nature arranges all fruits for human use, it is absurd to include people in the fruit.

Those slaves who were trafficked certainly did not know this, but in the laws of some states in the United States, it is stipulated that children born by free women are not slaves.

Even Brazil, which was ruled by the Portuguese, was discussing this issue. It was called the "Golden Act".

When the abolition movement in Europe was on the rise, it was bound to lead to a sharp drop in the number of slave ships and a surge in the price of slaves.

Buyers began to hesitate, and sellers were more willing to sell, so this issue would definitely be involved.

Georgiana did not know at first that Bonaparte wanted to restore slavery, or perhaps she knew because he mentioned his intention in this regard and he needed someone to build roads.

She organized people to make amulets for the expeditionary army, and not many people participated at that time.

Her unclear mind does not mean that others are also unclear.

She also did other things wrong, such as disputes caused by creditor's rights, and the debtor disappeared. In this way, even if the court has a trial result in absentia, where can the creditor find someone to enforce it?

As a result, she proposed that the government should come forward and force farmers who borrowed farming loans to collect the money if they did not repay.

Napoleon ordered that the court would not deal with the debt problem in Lorraine. This was based on the principle of natural justice, because non-traders could not defend themselves.

Without even a judgment result, how could the usurer have a legal basis to transfer other people's land?

What is a legal error? What is a factual error?

If the law is a sword, some people use it to uphold justice and eliminate violence, and some people use it for other things.

The pursuit of power is important, and how to prevent knowledge from falling into the hands of unqualified people is also important.

Now she understands why she envied Fleur Delacour.

Did the little mermaid regret that she had traded her voice for a pair of legs that made her suffer?

She could have lived freely in the sea if she hadn't seen the prince through the porthole.

The water of the Black Lake is green, and the sunlight shining through it and into the Slytherin lounge will turn it green.

It's a miracle that Snape can read in that light without myopia. Why doesn't he go to the library and read with Lily? Did they have a quarrel?
