Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1378 c‘estundiable (middle)

  The full name of the Knights of St. John of Malta in the Middle Ages was the Knights of Jerusalem, Rhode Island, and the Hospital of St. John of Malta. It was one of the three knights that were as famous as the Knights Templar and the Teutonic Order during the Crusades.

This knight order has been an independent and sovereign political entity for nearly a thousand years. At the beginning, the knight order only provided medical services to pilgrims. After the second commander, Raymond du Puy took over, the knight order The style has changed. Instead of waiting for the pilgrims to be rescued after being injured, they should be armed with escorts from the beginning. So the healers who rescued the wounded took up swords and shields, put on armors, mounted their horses, and turned into warriors.

  Rhode Island has changed hands several times in history and was ruled by the Romans, Byzantines, and Saracens.

By the time of the Crusades, the inner city of Rhode Island became the headquarters of the Hospitallers. However, with the discovery of new shipping routes and geography, the Mediterranean trade center began to move westward, and the strategic significance of Rhode Island gradually became less important than before. Up.

  The Ottoman Empire occupied the island in 1523. At that time, the giant bronze statue of Apollo that fell into the sea due to an earthquake a thousand years ago has disappeared, and the glory of Rhode Island is no longer there.

  The greatest feature of the British is pride, especially the navy. They will never endure their warships passing under Napoleon’s crotch.

   Merchants will be better in this respect, but merchants are greedy for money. Royal pirates are also called gentleman pirates. Pirates must be gallows if they are caught, but if they have a "private permit", the privateer can claim to be acting on orders and enjoy the treatment of prisoners of war.

  The early British naval pirates did not distinguish between them. Many admirals were born as pirates. They used pirates to attack Spain and board ships. After the British navy was formally established, it had a unified uniform and promotion system, established discipline, and hanged officers with piracy, which led to normalization.

  Britain has paid a lot of money for supporting the anti-French alliance, and coupled with the loss of its own country’s precious metal reserves, they urgently need gold and silver.

Napoleon’s expedition to Italy brought back a lot of spoils. At that time, under the rule of the superintendent of France, there was nothing in the treasury. Imagine a group of starving people. When they saw the food truck, the first thing they thought of was not the food. How did it come, but when will the food enter my stomach.

  Conscience and morality can only be found after they are full, or those who have faith, some people would rather starve to death than eat human flesh, and these people will be eaten by others who have no such concerns after starving to death.

  Even if someone is really caught this time, the ship will not necessarily be blocked by ice. People who want to take a risky gamble will definitely have it.

  Georgiana believed that Napoleon did not have the same prophetic ability as Cassandra, but he had a thorough view of human nature. That is, after the Duke of Orange filed a claim for compensation, Kanghuali proposed that France cede Tobago as the cost of redemption of French prisoners of war. Tobago is located in South America. It seems that the British wanted to colonize South America.

  Guadeloupe was originally a French colony. Later, the Kings Party gave the land to the United Kingdom in order to gain support from the United Kingdom. Now the United Kingdom has returned it to France, just as it was discussed before.

France also has a colony in West India, but it is still too weak compared to the United Kingdom, which has been in business for many years. Napoleon originally occupied Egypt to replace Santo Domingo and the Antilles. On the other hand, it may also become a conqueror of India. The purpose of a military station on the strategic line, otherwise what would he do to survey the Suez Canal?

If she wants to know more details, she can ask herself directly, but Georgian only asked the Secretary of State Marley, who was the one who took her to the small house on Victory Street and listened to the noise all night in the carriage outside. Commander of the Guards. When he was in Egypt, he begged Napoleon to introduce him to a wealthy widow, and later came back with him during the Wuyue coup.

  Napoleon waited for Josephine on Victory Street for three days, and Marley also waited with him for three days. Malmaison was bought by Napoleon after Napoleon went to Egypt. Because the houses in Malmaison and Desheng Street were being renovated, she went to Italy to live with her lover.

  Marley wanted to marry a wealthy widow instead of an aristocratic lady who was never married. It was also influenced by Napoleon. Napoleon and Josephine had a very sweet and happy time.

Napoleon is very simple in terms of feelings. After he married Josephine, he brought her portrait with him in Italy. Before the meeting, he would show him to the generals. At that time, the veterans thought he was young and married Ballas’s. Mistress, he looked down upon him a bit, and then his temperament changed after he put on the cocked hat.

  Marley told her that because he had not seen the wealthy widow beforehand, and did not understand at all, their marriage was all arranged by Napoleon, and most of the marriage problems of those close to Napoleon would end up like this in the future.

  Lu Xi'an married a widow. This was different from what Napoleon had predicted. The two brothers quarreled about it. Lu Xi'an said to Napoleon: "Although I also married a widow, she is not as annoying as the one you married."

  They were making a lot of noise at the time. It was difficult for Marley, who was standing at the door in charge of moving documents, to pretend not to hear. In addition, Lu Xian’s corruption caused Lu Xian not only to lose the position of Minister of Internal Affairs, but also to inheritance.

  Napoleon hates a person, such as Rolande, and he will not be promoted no matter what the people around him say kindly. If he likes someone, no matter how people around him say her is not good, he still thinks of her benefits.

  Marley did not persuade Napoleon to divorce, because persuading it was useless. When a woman and a child cried, he would be soft-hearted after all.

  So when Georgiana said that she didn't want to disturb the work of the First Ruling, Marley did not persuade her to go in.

If you compare carefully, Josephine is like Albus begging Severus to kill him. No matter how unwilling Severus is, he is softened. As a result, he caused himself a lot of trouble and misunderstanding. It can't be unlocked until death.

Just like the word "fate" on their wedding ring, if they divorce, Josephine will lose the backbone of her life. She can't live by herself at all, even if she has a lot of money and she owes a debt, Napoleon will still Help her pay it back.

  She is a weak woman, her mind is sometimes confused, but she is naturally beautiful, and she can flatter people, just to cater to the wishes of General Bonaparte who needs beauty to add "heroic" self-confidence to herself.

Georgiana herself could not believe that she would still think about such complicated things so calmly, but she was born like this, or she was trained to be like this. If she was the dean, she would be messed up, and the children of the whole college would be too messy. Will follow the chaos, what else to fight at Hogwarts.

   "Do you like this painting?" Teresa walked to Giorgio Anna with a wine glass, and watched a portrait of Napoleon with her.

This portrait is different from the pair of Napoleon riding a white horse across the Saint Bernard Mountain that many people are watching. The color is very gloomy. Napoleon looks very thin and thin, with his hands around his chest, his eyes are looking away, as if he is rejecting. The whole world is very special in this mighty painting full of houses.

   "He is handsome." Georgiana said with a silly smile.

  "More handsome than your husband?" Teresa asked.

   "Although he is ugly, he is tall."

   "I really don't know what type you like." Teresa asked, "Can you tell me?"

   "Do you believe in the soul?" Georgiana asked.

   "You mean, ghost?" Teresa asked.

  Georgiana did not answer Teresa’s question.

"After the Battle of Toulon, he refused to be transferred to Vendée because he did not want to leave the artillery regiment." Teresa said. , The girls who listened to him chatting laughed, do you understand what he means?"

  "Then you must first understand what geometry and physics are." Georgiana explained.

   "What?" Teresa asked in confusion.

  "Have you heard of Isaac Newton?" Georgiana asked.

   "Is he a musician?"

  "Don't care what I said." Georgiana said gloomily.

  She can arithmetic and divination but not calculus, oh my god, what are those?

  And these are the books Napoleon read when he was in school.

   "I was joking with you, he used to be the director of the British Mint, right?" Teresa teased.

   "That's right."

   "Just imagine, if Newton died very young, what would the world be like?" Teresa asked again.

   "I can't think of it."

"He doesn't look like a soldier at all." Teresa looked at the portrait of Napoleon and said, "Don't you think his temperament looks very elegant? And the lips, as beautiful as Polina, is it inherited from His mother? I heard she is also a beauty."

  Georgiana was in a daze.

   "How does it feel to kiss him?" Teresa asked bewildered.

   "Stop talking." Georgiana said resistingly.

   "In fact, if he is carefully dressed, he is also very classical, but he was not my type at the time."

   "What do you like?"

   "The rich and powerful, so now General Bonaparte looks very charming in my eyes." Teresa said with a blunt smile.

  She didn't feel angry at all, nor did she feel any threat.

   "His person is very shy in public. I didn't expect him to kiss you in front of so many people." Teresa narrowed her smile. "Has he proposed to you?"

  Georgiana nodded.

   "It was Ballas who asked Josephine to marry him. You made him courageous, Georgian."

   "Don't you think he has become reckless?"

  "Do you want to ask him about his recent situation?"

  Georgiana shook her head.

"Like this picture." Teresa pointed to the picture in front of him and said, "It's darker. He is not the kind of person who easily negotiates with the enemy, but he wants to have an Ann birthday. It won’t make others feel better.”

   "He wants to go back to Josephine."

   "Josephine...she is the kind of person who is prone to whims."

   "She didn't spend the winter in the south before?"

   Teresa did not speak.

  "She didn't spend the winter in the south as the first ruling lady." Giorgioanna sarcastically, "The distance from Lyon to the Western Military District is not a route he would design at all."

  "Did they not go?"

   "How disappointed she should be then." Georgiana teased "Josephine lied, right, to trick him into going south with her?"

   "I really don't know this."

   "She is the kind of woman who dares to say she is pregnant in order not to go to the front." Georgiana sneered, "If she can go to the South, I will go."

  "Do you think General Bonaparte will agree?"

   "I also have a reason, I want to go farming!" Georgiana said categorically, "I want to **** her off! Let this woman who wants to do whatever she wants to do, and taste what she wants but can't get!"
