Harry Potter Morning Light.

Chapter 3511 Whispering Branches (Part )

There is a story about a jumping pot in the Tales of Beedle the Bard, but like many fairy tales, there are many versions of it, and the bedtime story that Draco Malfoy heard from Lucius was different from what was written in the fairy tale book. The crucible did not urge the young wizard to help the villagers like his father did when he was alive, but to help innocent wizards get rid of those neighbors holding torches and rakes, drive them out of the wizard's house, and catch them and swallow them whole, head and feet. When the remaining villagers promised not to interfere with the wizard's magic in the future, the wizard ordered the crucible to spit out the contents of his stomach, and those people were no longer human.

Georgiana entered Switzerland before Ney because she acted in secret. She did so mainly to stop the giant monsters who took advantage of the chaos to rob. Ney had to wait for authorization before entering Switzerland. At that time, Reading had already planned to resist to the end with arms and resolutely refused to accept Switzerland becoming a republic and retain the federal system.

In Zurich, the ancient city walls still stood, but they could not resist the attack. In the early hours of the morning, the French army poured into the city from three gates, and the army marched to the beat of drums in the open space in front of the city walls. In the open space, there was a battalion in formation and a group of armed peasants, most of whom were armed with flails, pitchforks and sickles, but no battle took place.

The army that first entered Zurich belonged to the Italian Corps. Ney sent his adjutant to the Italian Corps headquarters and requested the Corps to send two armies to occupy Altdorf and Chur via the Alpine Passes, so as to invade Switzerland from the north, west and south. When facing the regular army, the armed peasants quickly understood the gap in strength, although many Swiss peasants would go abroad as mercenaries. But Switzerland was very poor at that time. Even a city like Zurich had only 2 guns in the fortifications. Although Savoy had many cannons, it had no artillery. They even sold the fiefdom of the cavalry regiment in 90. At that time, it was the Seven Years' War. The Junker family suffered heavy losses in this war. These Junkers belonged to Prussia rather than Austria. It was after Austria learned the Prussian officer form after the Seven Years' War that they had their own form of "Junkers".

In the Swiss cities of Bern and Fribourg, city councils often grant "noble" status or the title of "Junker" to an elite group - that is, nobles without titles. These "Junkers" need to be treated with the same etiquette as nobles, and the person must also display noble qualities.

The establishment of the Savoy Cavalry Regiment was related to the war against France. Since the War of the Spanish Succession, the Savoy Cavalry had been fighting against France. The Cavalry Regiment was established in 1692, which was their first appearance.

During the War of the Austrian Succession, after the main battlefield in Silesia ended, France and Spain fought against Austria and Sardinia again for the rule of Italy in 1746. This time, the Savoy Knights fought bravely again, launching seven consecutive charges and defeating the Spanish and French coalition cavalry to the point where they were completely unable to fight back.

However, in 1796, when Napoleon was making great progress in northern Italy, they disappeared, and their entire organization was later absorbed by Bonaparte.

The next time the Savoy Cavalry appeared in history as Georgiana remembered was during World War II, although they were more famous as Polish cavalry, who faced the German tank divisions.

The Savoy cavalry fought against the Soviet Union. After all, the leader of Italy at the time was Mussolini. However, they actually defeated the Soviet army with heavy firepower and completed the last major cavalry charge in history - the Battle of Ishbushensk.

Compared with humans, horses are bigger targets, and Soviet machine guns also hit the horses of the Knights of Savoy, but the horses still ran some distance due to inertia, which was enough for the knights to throw out the grenades.

This battle brought the cavalry and knights to an end in a heroic way, and also safeguarded the honor of the Savoy Cavalry Regiment for 300 years.

When Josephine introduced Ney to Hortense's classmate, the girl did not like him at first. Although Ney was not as poor as Bonaparte with only a sword and a cloak, he did not have much assets. In the marriage announcement they issued later, Ney's country house in Nancy was worth 8 francs, his unfixed assets were 1.2 francs, and the bride's dowry of various kinds was 7.7 francs.

Georgiana was shocked that marriages in this era had to be announced.

Ney apologized for the worthless jewels he had given Mademoiselle Augier, saying that he could not afford diamonds or pearls and that as a soldier he had used his sword to gain honor rather than wealth.

James said he wanted to be a knight. Gryffindor is the house of knights, so what is a knight?
What was even more unimaginable to Pomona was that Snape actually wanted Lily to enter Slytherin. It seemed as if he had forgotten that Slytherin only accepted pure-bloods and half-bloods.

What's even more exaggerated is that Lily almost agreed because all her knowledge of the magical world came from Snape.

In short, as Lily's understanding of the magical world deepened, she left Snape's control and made a choice that was better for herself and seemed wiser at the time.

The wedding of Ney and his wife was held in the castle of Grignon. People specially renovated a chapel that had been out of use for many years. The chapel was made in a pastoral style, but it looked more like a greenhouse after completion. The corridor and the roof of the chapel were hung with garlands, the chandeliers were also surrounded by flowers, the gentle candlelight was looming, and the military band played wedding music. The groom wore a full set of general parade uniforms and a gem-studded Egyptian saber, which was a gift from the First Consul. The bride wore a white long dress and a rose wreath. Beside the altar where they held the ceremony, there stood a peasant couple celebrating their golden wedding. They were wearing country clothes with strong regional colors. Ney stood next to the old man, and Miss Augier stood next to the old man's wife. This scene was designed by Ney. In his opinion, their 50-year happy marriage was a good omen.

There is no wedding more dreamy than this. In many animations adapted from fairy tales, the princes wore military uniforms. Even Victor Krum and Hermione Granger wore the same outfit at the Christmas ball.

Except for the lack of money, everything was perfect, the bride was very happy, and the cheerful atmosphere was far better than that of Hortense and Louis' wedding in the cathedral.

Murat looked taller and more handsome than Ney, and he never treated himself badly, even though his wife was Napoleon's sister.

Ney entered the city only after the bloodless capture of Zurich. He did not pose as a victor but rode through the city amidst the soldiers and citizens.

It can be said that few people knew that he entered Zurich. After entering the city, he organized the army so that they could appear at any time in the center of any riot. At the same time, he cancelled the request to dispatch troops from Italy, and the guerrillas in Reading also disarmed peacefully.

These were all told to Georgiana by the commander of the Italian garrison on the way from Novara to Milan. She didn't care much about Coco's presence here. There were many horses in Napoleon's stable, and Coco was chosen only because she was snow-white and had a stable personality... She had a really stable personality.

She was not the kind of person who would take advantage of an opportunity. She just felt that there was no possibility of him and Josephine getting back together. Plus, she heard that he was very loyal, so she thought he was a possible partner for remarriage.

It turns out that while she seemed to be thinking and making wise choices, she wasn’t actually thinking much at all.

Madame Ney is still young, and she doesn't quite understand that a soldier's profession is not only about separation from his family, but also that in this war-torn age he may not be able to return home at any time. Her happiness can be gone in an instant, and is the little property she and Ney have enough for her and her children's future life?

Georgiana had seen the Invalides and the shelters open to military families. The conditions there were indeed much better than those open to ordinary citizens. The conditions in the hospital that Sharptal visited were very poor, with patients crowded together and cross-infected. He suggested that pregnant women and children be arranged separately first.

Last time she met Muller, the author of the Marseillaise, in the Paris Botanical Garden, but Muller had died in Egypt. He is now a pediatrician and wants to work in a pediatric hospital in Paris...

"Madam," Ney said to her, "what do you want to tell me?"

She had been thinking about how to bring the "Secret of Persephone" back to Paris, and now she had a suitable person in front of her.

The 12 billion grain reserve plan was originally not implemented because it is difficult to preserve grain for more than three years.

By the way, the church where Hortense and Louis got married was also converted into a granary, although she couldn't remember what it was called.

"I want you to take something back to Paris," said Georgiana.

“That’s not what we’re talking about,” Ney said.

Georgiana used a flying spell to summon the scroll hidden in the observatory model and handed it to Ney.

"This thing is not useful in the UK, but you may need it."

He looked at her in disbelief.

"Mrs. Pompidou introduced Quesnay to the king. The economist's model went wrong and the consequences were unimaginable. Based on the precedent of Queen Maria Theresa, without peace and unity in the country, any economic model is useless. Do you understand what I just said?" Georgiana asked.

"Uh……"

"The Pope once invited an Austrian to be his economic adviser. He proposed to develop the textile industry, which would be difficult to succeed in Italy. I met a man in Milan who was the son of the 'Pope's accountant.' Do you know how he did it?" Georgiana asked.

"What?" Ney asked in confusion.

"Handle the relationship between the French Republic and the Papal States." Georgiana said, "He arranged for his daughter to marry a Papal noble, but he himself refused any noble title."

Ney frowned.

"Neutrality is not that easy, General, so sometimes I do things that others find puzzling. I would like to ask, without the Swiss reinforcements, General Murat will not be able to continue his charge?" Georgiana asked.

Ney sighed, "In fact, we didn't expect the Swiss from the beginning. We just wanted to see their attitude."

This time it was Georgiana's turn to frown.

"Let's talk while we walk." Ney led the horse and walked on the side closer to the lake, as if protecting her.

At this moment, she felt like a hermaphroditic plant, but no matter how much she longed for the wedding as a woman, she could not "self-pollinate".

If Mr. Darcy in "Pride and Prejudice" only wanted to marry a "suitable" wife, wouldn't his aunt's daughter be good enough? Why would he leave London and go to Pemberley to find a girl in a white dress to attend a ball?
She raised her head and looked at the branches swaying in the wind above her head. The branches seemed to be whispering, discussing a topic that she could not understand.
