Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1482 "Rising from a Deadly End"

  What is the job of a senior official? Some people might say taxation, conscription, and transmission of government orders.

  Dusan Louvidoul himself was also a slave, and before the French expeditionary army arrived, he killed his nephew in order to suppress the rebellion.

  When Santo Domingo was at its most prosperous, it used to supply the French treasury with 180 million francs, employ 1,640 ships and recruit thousands of sailors.

  After experiencing such a prosperous situation, suddenly looking at a town that is deserted, a ship has no port, and there are no outsiders except the locals, perhaps the people of Santo Domingo will change their minds.

  Of course, they can continue to ignore it. The reason why Toussaint Louverture is so confident may be related to the trade agreement signed with him by Britain and the United States. He can bypass France and go international as the leader of an independent country.

  According to the Mott Fontaine Agreement signed in September 1800, France promised to respect American shipping, while the United States waived its claims for its ships.

If the United States had to trade with Santo Domingo, Napoleon, five thousand miles away, would not be able to control it, but if the United States recognized that Santo Domingo was an independent country that relied on slavery, it would be messed up. . Even if France recognizes that Santo Domingo is independent, the United States will not recognize it. The premise for their establishment of trade relations is that Santo Domingo is a French colony.

  Maybe Santo Domingo will become independent again in two or three years, but the time has passed. The French have a very strong ability to forget, and no one will pay attention to things that are so far away, as long as the public debt is closed.

  At that time, Santo Domingo may become an unmarkable land on the map, no one will go, and the people on the island will be forgotten by the world.

   "Forgot? You said you forgot!" Bonaparte was shaking with anger, as if he couldn't help but want to do something to Georgianna.

   "I thought the Veterans Square is a place with few people." She said honestly.

   "You..." He took the riding whip and pointed at Georgiana.

  No one dared to stop him, including Leon Coul who sent her.

  During the negotiation of the Campo-Formio peace treaty, there was a “de André briefcase” incident. Napoleon found a briefcase in the base camp, which contained evidence of Pischglu’s rebellion.

At that time, Desai came to inspect from the Rhine Front. When Napoleon told him the news of Pishglu’s conspiracy, Bonaparte thought Desai would be surprised, but Desai smiled and said, "We have known Pishglu for a long time. He rebelled. Moreau found relevant evidence in the documents of Austrian General Klinglin. He also knew the details of his acquisition and the motives that led him to engage in abnormal combat activities. Only Morrow, Lennier, and I knew. I hope that Moreau will report this secret to the government immediately, but he concealed it.” Then he added, “Perhaps Pishgru needs the only example of a general who can defeat him.”

   "I am more worried about you, Leon, will you be falsely accused of treason?" Georgiana said calmly, "Someone will frame you for deliberately defeating the war like Pischglu."

  He didn't walk around in anger, but looked at her calmly.

   "You can lock me up."

   "You can say that it is not important information, it is just a paper you wrote." Bonaparte instead made excuses for her, "Who else knows about this besides us?"

   "No more." Georgiana said.

  Bonaparte glanced at Leoncourt, who immediately left Napoleon’s studio at St. Luke’s Palace and closed the door.

   "I want to lie down for a while." He said tiredly.

  Georgiana immediately sat on the green Moroccan leather sofa, and then he lay on her lap.

  He let out a long sigh.

   "No matter which country, the force must bow to the virtues of Wenzhi." Napoleon closed his eyes and said, "As long as the leader is not Dusan Louvidul, anyone can tell."

   "I heard someone called him Black Washington."

  He sneered, "It should be said that it is Black Spartacus. Only such a person can suppress so many private forces."

  "How come there are so many disputes in such a small place?"

   "I don't want that place anymore, and Louisiana, how about we sell them?" he said jokingly.

   "There is someone in Louisiana who wants it, who wants it in Santo Domingo?"

"Let the locals buy it and sign a ten-year contract. After the contract expires, we won't go." Bonaparte said with disgust. "These colonies will eventually follow the example of the United States. They are far away from you, and you are bound to obey them. With local interests, you will feel that it is a foreign authority. You are tired of being ruled by it, tired of waiting for orders five thousand miles away."

   "I just want their money." Giorgioanna said, "I heard Leoncourt say that you still want auxiliary power. Do you want to recruit from Santo Domingo?"

   "Impossible," he said flatly.

   "How about we want to manage the surrounding islands?" Georgian said softly, "They can become French overseas provinces."

   "The loss this time is big." Bonaparte said regretfully.

  "Didn’t you let you put all your sins on others?"

  He turned over and buried his face in her lap.

  "Do you now understand how Britain looks at the United States?" She sneered.

   "That boring island." He said gloomily, "It's either rain or fog."

  She frowned. The small islands on the Caribbean Sea have a tropical climate. It is understandable that it often rains. Then there will be fog in clear skies?

   "It's all over." She stroked his chestnut hair "Everything will be fine."

  He hasn't spoken for a long time.

  "Plead for them, don't you regret it later?" He asked slowly.

   "I am not asking for them, I am asking for you. You don't know how to make a decision, do you?" She said sadly, "That's why you were silent and let others make the decision."

   "A man must be firm and ruthless, otherwise he won't have to intervene in war and politics." He said in a hoarse voice.

  "There is a difference between humans and animals. I'm afraid that the last ones out of the jungle are not humans." She said in his ear, "A little humane, my lion."

   "I treat others humanely, who will treat me humanely?" He hated it and said, "I will regret my softheartedness."

"I don't want to influence your decision by begging for your mercy. What I want to protect is you, Leon. You are actually a very good person. You are tolerant, enthusiastic, and can melt people who are close to you. I don't want you to lose this. Heat."

   "Why did you refuse to be a teacher?"

  She sighed, “When I was studying, I was most afraid of these rich ladies. I ran far away when I saw them.”

   "You became a teacher later, but didn't you teach someone like that?"

   "Teached."

   "What happened to them?"

   "My college is pretty good." She said confidently.

   "Will my decision harm the country's majesty?" He asked with uncertainty.

   "Trust me, the French don't think so." She said categorically.

  "Is this your prediction?" He asked softly.

  Georgiana did not know how to describe the performance of the "future" French on the battlefield with Napoleon Bonaparte.

   "You said you have read astronomy books, do you know which planet is the ruler of Leo?"

  He raised his head and looked at her with blue eyes.

  "The star is called the heart of the king. It represents kindness and compassion. The loser has no right to choose kindness. He can only pray for mercy from others. Kindness is the power of the winner."

  He sat up and looked at her.

"I'm telling you a secret." He whispered. "When I was in Vicenza, I walked into a monastery. There was a small hospital in the church. There were four or five thousand people lying there, most of them were dead. They The stench keeps coming out. I think **** is just like that. When passing by a dead pile, I heard someone calling my name. I took Rana and found two wounded soldiers lying in the dead pile for three days. They didn’t eat or put any bandages. They were already desperate, but they knew that they were saved when they saw me. Then I received the battle report. When the enemy retreated, the order was extremely chaotic. I felt good luck was beginning to come to me. on."

  "Are you still pulling the bodies of the dead out of the monastery and burying them?"

   "Yes." He paused and said, "Unfortunately I can't take their ashes away and bring them back to France, their hometown."

   "Please remember that you saved two people, and you rescued them from pain and fear."

  He did not speak.

   "Those who have recovered from the Black Death have different eyes from the two of them." Bonaparte said, "There is light in their eyes."

  She thought of another pair of black eyes, there was endless darkness inside, only the blue soul fire was shining deep in the bottom of the eyes.

  "If one day I leave you..."

  His muscles are tight.

   "I won't make the same mistake next time." She immediately changed her words.

"Do you know what makes Josephine better than you? Since that incident, she has been completely loyal to me." He immediately sat up. "You scholars always want to ask for truth, fairness, and justice." Justice is either too stubborn or too skeptical."

  "Should you send two tax collectors to the Santo Domingo people who owe taxes over the past few years." She immediately changed the subject.

  He looked at her helplessly.

  "Let’s wait until Dusan Luvidul has taken the oath." Bonaparte said numbly, "His slave army has only 20,000 people, and there are not many weapons, let alone our sophisticated, how could it be like this."

   "Fear." Georgiana said, "Some things are worse than death."

  He lowered his head in silence, as if lost in thought.

"I will go to the Burgundy Mansion to self-quarantine for a period of time. The soldiers are not busy picking it up. You just have to find a way to shut up the British newspaper." She patted the back of his hand. "Fear and interest drive people to act." lever."

   "What else do they want?"

  "You have to ask them. Corruption is not caused by the supervising government." She whispered, "and your government is also the case."

  He looked at her.

   "Think about who encouraged you to go to the Santo Domingo expedition." Georgianna said, "If the British let you go, do you think your navy can arrive?"

"What do you mean?"

  "This is a trap, Leon. From the beginning, you got the trick." She reluctantly said, "I don't want to say that, but we British people are really bad sometimes."
