Harry Potter’s Morning Light

  Chapter 1446 "Friends of Women"

Napoleon’s favorite opera "Nina" tells a story. The Duke’s daughter Nina fell in love with a poor boy. At first the Duke allowed it. Later, the Duke arranged for Nina to have a wealthy and powerful family. Her son got married and the two young men met in a duel in the woods. The poor boy escaped by chance, but Nina didn't know. She thought her lover was dead, so she went crazy, and the Duke arranged for a female nurse to take care of her.

He still loves his daughter, but he has become delirious. The Duke regrets it. Later, he heard that the poor boy was not dead, so the Duke was overjoyed and took the young man to his home and asked them both. Meet up.

  The poor boy told Nina a lot of love words that only the two of them knew, and Nina gradually woke up, and the two were happy together.

  It is clear that two people love each other, but they can't be together because of poverty or other reasons. This can spur the boys to struggle more than anything. The situation in Serbia’s home was different. If it weren’t for the French Revolution, Serbia’s home was once very prominent. The Marquis Philip Henri de Segu had participated in the Seven Years' War and served as Minister of War. He lost an arm when attacking Prussia and was discharged from the army in 1787.

  He was imprisoned in La Fos during the reign of terror and was not released until 1800. Napoleon gave him a position in the Senate, but he died after only a year in office.

He has two sons, but in fact only one is born, the eldest son Louis Philip Segu and his adopted son Joseph Alexander Pierre Segu, he is actually his good friend Pierre Victor · De Brenschwart’s son, Brenschwart was a Swiss mercenary who protected King Louis XVI during the French Revolution. He did not die in the Tuileries like other Swiss mercenaries, but was arrested while assisting the king to escape and was guillotined in 1794.

  Joseph Segu did not continue to engage in the military like his parents, but became a musician. Louis Philip Segu became a diplomat and historian. He had four sons and three survived. The eldest son Octave Henri Gabriel de Seju, now 25 years old, married Michelle’s classmate, Miss Aguesso of Fresnet. Their marriage was a political marriage and was not happy. , Mainly because Octaf is a sensitive and delicate young man. In contrast, his younger brother, Philip Paul de Segu, is much more optimistic and cheerful. He joined Napoleon’s cavalry division, followed Etienne Jacques Joseph Alexander Macdonald, and now serves as Napoleon. Lieutenant.

Marshal Seju broke down after being released. They lived in a village called Chanette near Paris. Their lives were very difficult, not only because of their family property confiscated, but also because of Louis, who was a diplomat in Berlin. Philips Seju used all his property to manage the German consulate.

  He did a good job, but he was expelled from Berlin because he was involved in a duel. After returning to France, Luis Philippe Segu knew that Napoleon was going to attack Santo Domingo, so he suppressed all his possessions there. However, the battle was fought like this, and the old marshal died again.

  Originally, the French were full of confidence in this war. They came from civilized Europe and were well-equipped. How could the blacks in the colonies be their opponents.

Napoleon thought of smallpox but did not think of yellow fever; he thought of using canned food to solve the supply, but he could not solve the fresh water. The spread of yellow fever and malaria in the army caused the expeditionary army to suffer heavy losses, and the amulet prepared by the women for them had no effect at all. .

  According to legend, there is a bull in the countryside of Fresneburg in the hometown of Miss Aguesso. Every time he is released, he must gather alone and use his horns to arch a revolutionary tomb.

If the French Revolution never freed those slaves and made them wonder what it was like to be a free man, maybe they would continue to obey. For example, the slaves of Trinidad and Portuguese Barbados occupied by the British never thought of doing anything. Fight for the identity of a free man. Last month, when Georgiana was almost assigned to the cabinet to translate English materials, she saw that the court that killed a slave, Barbanas, imposed a fine of only 114 shillings.

  Is it wrong to emancipate slaves? Giorgioanna didn't think it was wrong to restore slavery, but Rochambeau would have nothing if he could not take back the land of Santo Domingo. No wonder Michelle cried so sad.

  Everyone hopes that their life will be smooth and good, and good luck will always be there. The Marquis of Seju’s house was so prominent for a while, and it has now fallen. The French Revolution was a "complete revolution" and everything was disrupted. The new government was reorganized according to its own ideas, and people's imagination faced unprecedented happiness, as if nothing could hinder the progress of France at this moment.

  People at that time were indifferent to vested interests and rushed towards new things, but they gradually discovered that things did not develop as they thought, and more and more people blamed these dreamers. The style of the French is that the first round of attacks is as swift as a tsunami, and when they find that the attack fails, they will become more feminine than women, as if their spirit has disappeared from them, so that slavery is the least in human history. The system of equality is actually resurrected in the French Republic, which is under the slogan of freedom, fraternity, and equality.

   "Madam." Madame Montesquieu said softly.

"what's up?"

   "A guest is coming."

   "I don't want to see." She refused, and now she is completely in no mood.

   "I think you should meet." Madame Montesquieu said solemnly, "Maximan Isnar and Mr. Charles Garnier are here."

"Who?"

  "They were also invited out of the National Security Council this time. Mr. Isnar is a former Gironde and Mr. Charles Garnier is a political economist."

   "What are they doing here?"

  "Come to you to discuss disaster relief." Mrs. Montesquieu said patiently, "This is about the relief of the widows and orphans of the soldiers who died for the establishment of the Republic."

  She has a clearer mind, but feels that she still has no strength.

"Mrs. Leith has collected a lot of letters from the President of the United States, and I have read some." Mrs. Montesquieu took Georgian's hand and said, "President Jefferson said in a speech to the Indians on January 7 this year that Americans I hope to live with the celebrities as a nation and respect their interests as their own. There are enough disasters in life. Why do you want to increase these disasters by deliberately killing each other? Brothers , Peace is better than war. We have lost many friends in a long-term battle, but we can't get anything. Let us live in peace together and do good. The smart and kind people on both sides hope to do this. "

  Georgiana felt a little hope, but felt that this would not convince Napoleon.

   "Mr. Charles Garnier hopes to give subsidies to widows and orphans, but this will use the budget of the first governor to repair the Ardèche bridge. I think you should listen to his plan."

   "Where is the Ardèche?"

   "South of France."

   "Mr. Gregoire also talked to me about the South. What happened over there?"

  Mrs. Montesquieu paused and said, “Someone is issuing pamphlets to incite rebellion.”

  Georgina stood up, walking around in frustration.

  "Southerners don't have to worry about starving to death!" She was a little out of control and yelled, "Job opportunities should be reserved for those who need it more!"

   "I will call them in." said Madame Montesquieu.

  Georgiana ignored her, she began to fall into contemplation. In theory, there is no need to worry about famine if you plant high-yield corn in the south.

  But it is said that during the Spanish Throne War, the French would also supply grains to the Spaniards, because grains could be exchanged for gold and silver from Spain. Napoleon did not clearly order the ban on food exports but arrested the smugglers. Southern residents who were attached to the old dynasty might feel "dissatisfied" with him, thinking that Napoleon was blocking their fortune.

  It is necessary to build a steel bridge on the Ardèche River. It may even surpass the aqueduct of the Paris water supply system and become the largest project.

  Not long after, Madame Montesquieu came in with two literati.

  "How much do you need?" Georgiana asked straightaway.

"38 million francs." One of the literati said with a smile, "The widow of the National Self-Defense Force can receive 600 francs a year, and their children, regardless of whether they are born in or out of wedlock, can receive an annuity of 365 francs per year until the age of 18. "

   "I thought there was a special department to provide pensions."

  "This is not a pension, but a promotion of consumption. We still can't find money for them. Those widows like to save money and they have to give them bread rolls and soap rolls."

   "This will not increase the price of bread?"

"The first ruling also asked the same question." The man bowed to Giorgioanna. "My name is Charles Garnier. This is a citizen of Maxian Isnar. He advocated mobilizing women to clean out pawnshops and **** them. Tools are distributed free of charge to those in need."

  "The pawnshop said they were doing charity, do you believe it?" Isnar asked.

   "How did you survive the Reign of Terror?" Georgiana asked.

"We must mobilize women, not those with corrupt moral character, or screaming at every turn, disturbing order. We should look for women who are patriotic, understand people’s hunger and cold, and have seen their children starving. Know how to endure the suffering of people who are hungry, crying and sorrowful, and know how to use their wisdom and enthusiasm to comfort their brothers and sisters,"

   "You women are really bold, and you dared to make trouble in the Jacobin rallies." Isnar said.

   "I didn't go again."

"Bread rolls and soap rolls will both cause speculation. You must issue a military certificate and have the right to enjoy the rolls," Ganier said. "And I think people who enjoy food for work must be in a notebook after eating at the aid point. What kind of labor is exchanged on it."

   "This method can't bring down the price of food." Georgiana said tiredly.

   "What about me?" another man said suddenly.

"who are you?"

   "Pierre-Louis Gangone, I am a writer, how did you come up with the phrase Sies is ‘Jonah spit out by the devil’?" Gangne ​​asked.

  Georgina had the court again in her mind. She and Napoleon were sitting in the gallery at the time. She heard him say why he chose to fire at civilians at the time.

  "Please wait, I have something to write." Georgiana said to the three.

   "Go ahead, the inspiration is fleeting." Gangne ​​said beamingly, "What a lovely and charming angel, how come you fancy that Corsican monster?"

  She didn’t know how to explain.

   "I have also driven out women, but I did not forbid them to wear pants." Isnar said, "How about I introduce you to other perfumes? Smelling your body, I think I am in the same room with Bonaparte."

   "It is impolite to smell a lady casually."

   "I am a perfume merchant, this is my professional habit." Isnar said.

   "Don't disturb the inspiration of the lady." Gangne ​​said.

  Georgiana took the opportunity to leave immediately, as if there was a ghost behind her.
