Harry Potter’s Morning Light

   Chapter 2299 Infinity (Part 1)

The    1378 wool-carding uprising is widely regarded as the first armed struggle of wage-workers. It was launched by wool workers to gain the right to participate in municipal elections, increase wages and extend debt repayment.

"It can be seen that under the rule of the law of rise and fall, various regions often go from governance to chaos, and then from chaos to governance. Because the nature of things in the world does not allow regions to continue on a smooth road; when they reach When they are the most perfect, they quickly decline; so when they have become disorganized, in so much depression, that it is impossible to descend any further, they must begin to rise. That is, from good to bad. , and then from bad to good.”

The phrase    is from Machiavelli's History of Florence, which also records the rebellion of 1378, but from a different angle. From 1305 to 1377, during this period due to the "prisoner of Avignon", the Holy See was divided into two parts: Rome and Avignon. In 1370, Gregory XI was elected Pope of Avignon. Having been trying to move the Holy See back to Rome, he, like his predecessor, sent representatives to rule Italy. Machiavelli wrote in the book, "These representatives were greedy and oppressed many cities, and at that time there was a representative in Bologna, who took advantage of the famine in Florence to cut off all food supplies, and in order to destroy their future harvest, in the spring When he arrived, he sent a large number of armed forces to launch an attack on Florence, trying to dominate the whole of Tuscany."

   This representative was sent by mercenaries who abandoned their plans to attack Florence after the Florentines paid them 130,000 florins.

"When people want to fight they can go to war, but when they want to get out of the war it is often not so easy. The war against the Pope was instigated, and the Florentines allied with Milan and some city-states hostile to the Church, assigning Eight citizens are in charge of commanding the war, giving them full authority to act without asking for instructions, spending as much money as they think they need, without billing."

   The war continued until the end of Pope Gregory XI, that is, March 27, 1378. The people were very satisfied with the command of the 8 citizens, and they could continue to be re-elected, but the problem was just beginning.

  The Pope died, and the city-state could get rid of foreign wars, but the interior was still very chaotic. The old nobles and civilian leaders formed the Guelph faction, among them Rabo, Pierrot and Carlos. On the opposite side were all the lower classes, whose leading figures were the eight commissioners who commanded the war, the Alberti and the Medici, and the rest, according to Machiavelli, joined the disaffected side.

  Although the old nobles and civilian leaders were also opposed to the church, they did not intend to loot the church, and these eight commanders not only condoned the mercenaries looting the church, but also forced the priests to worship, wishing them victory.

   Then they found out that the rival faction was stripping them of their honorary positions and trying to take power, and the only way to do it was to banish them from the city, to occupy the palace of the Consulate, and to bring the city-state under their control.

The Pope died in March, and in April Rapo thought it was inappropriate to continue delaying, delaying is the greatest danger to them, because Salvetro de' Medici is likely to become the standard-bearer of justice, and after consultation they think it is necessary Concentrate a certain amount of strength, but the mobilization of these troops is easy to be discovered, so they think it is best to do it on the day of John the Baptist, which is the most important festival of the city-state, and a large number of people will definitely come to participate.

In the    Divine Comedy Inferno, a man in the Suicide Forest said that the guardian of Florence was changed to John the Baptist. Every year from June 22 to 24, the whole of Florence is immersed in a festive atmosphere for the three days of John the Baptist. In the Gospel of Mark, St. John is described as eating only locusts and honey, so during festivals, there are many honey-related delicacies in the street market in Florence.

   In addition, because St. John is also the patron saint of Genoa, the way of celebration in Genoa is to burn bonfires on the beach along the Ligurian Sea and hold float parades in the city.

  The United Kingdom also celebrates this festival, but it has a pagan color. The summer solstice is around June 21, while June 22 is Midsummer Night, and June 23 is Midsummer. Legend has it that people will have a strange experience on Midsummer Night, and may enter a magical world. Druids will gather at Stonehenge before the dawn of the summer solstice to hold celebrations.

   This seems somewhat irrational, so William Shakespeare used the term "midsummermadness" in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

  Salome once performed the dance of the seven veils for King Herod. After winning the favor of King Herod, she made a request to cut off the head of John the Baptist. The reason why she did that was because this 16-year-old girl was rejected from John's courtship. After getting John's head, she kissed John in tears. This time, there was no way to **** with Dante. Like Sifa, tears mixed with **** saliva turned into a lake of ice.

   Taking advantage of the opportunity of St. John's Day, the Guelph faction organized enough personnel. After being selected as the standard-bearer of justice, Salvestro noticed the abnormality, so he left the council hall under the pretext of personal affairs.

  The members of the ruling group and their colleagues came together after hearing the news, and when they saw the standard-bearer of justice abstain from his position, they pleaded again and ordered him to stay in his position. At this time, the hall was in chaos, and these flag-bearers of artisan guilds from all walks of life, surrounded by people with weapons, had filled the courtyard.

The Council of State gave the craftsmen's guilds and the commoners hope in correcting bad things, and at the same time, in order to avoid being accused of being the perpetrators, they gave power to the government, colleagues, eight commissioners, senior officials of the districts, and officials of the craftsmen's guilds, please They reorganized the city-state government for the welfare of the entire city-state. That is to say, the craftsmen did not come to solve the problem by force from the beginning. The people in the courtyard looked forward to the people in the government affairs conference room to give them a solution, just like the people in St. Paul's Square waiting for the announcement of the results of the papal election.

But as time went on, there was no result from the council meeting. It was summer again, and there was no shade in the courtyard. People who had been standing under the sun for a long time lost their patience. A grumpy craftsman caught Carl Lo's neck, just to dissuade them from causing a huge riot, Alberti shouted from a window, asking people to take up arms, the chiefs of the districts, in order to save themselves, decided to rebel against the ruling group's orders, but when they came When they got outside, there was already a commotion, so they all fled to their homes to hide.

No one should imagine that once the masses are stirred up, they will be able to control them as they wish, or to stop them from engaging in violence. In a blink of an eye, these people organized by Rabo's suggestion have been hurt by several Guelphites. In retaliation, led by artisans, they ransacked and burned Rabo's house without authorization, while Rabo had fled to the church of Santa Croce, and then disguised himself as a monk and fled to Casentino, where he Hear people complain that they shouldn't have agreed to do it on St. John's Day in the first place, but do it when they're more certain to have government and the standard-bearer of justice in their hands.

Things got out of control after Rapo's house was burned, more houses were destroyed, prisons were opened and thugs were released to loot the convent and convent where many citizens put their belongings for safety In the monastery, even the government chambers were not spared. There is only one exception. A ruler riding on a horse is followed by many citizens with weapons. Not all of them want to take advantage of the fire. They have not forgotten that they came for the welfare of the city-state, and that ruler is worthy of respect. People, the anger of the masses was suppressed.

   Even when the people of Paris stormed into Versailles and planned to attack the Queen, Lafayette's timely arrival stopped them from attacking.

There are many people in this country who plan to take the opportunity to make trouble. They will use the wave of protests to expand the storm infinitely. If Napoleon bombards the civilians with cannons when he is with Portugal, then he will not want to be the same as when he was in the coup d’etat.” The Parisians with a bad memory" were greeted as heroes.

  The young Napoleon often did things on a whim, such as dragging Josephine to the marriage registration, but he almost missed the appointment because he participated in the military conference, and made Josephine wait for a day at the city hall wearing a wedding dress.

   Once he even asked Caprara to preside over their religious wedding on a whim, but was rejected by the Pope's envoy slick and tough, after all Caprara had no debts.

   She hopes that this is not another whim of his, they are not children anymore, they will perform the sword-giving ceremony on the school stage, and parents will still be in the audience, holding video equipment and yelling "so cute".

   She took a fluke, and this time she only brought the jewelry she was wearing. She didn't bring out the other ceremonial sword, which was cut by the Prince Regent's diamond and set in two halves and set with roses. But if he was determined, he could borrow a sword and perform the ceremony in the Cathedral of St. Lumodi, witnessed by the archbishop who had a "bad memory".

  There were many Irish monks preaching in the Netherlands in the Middle Ages. The patron saint of St. Lumodi Cathedral came from Irish monks. At that time, St. Patrick had discovered the entrance to hell.

   Lumodi joined the order of St. Willibrod after being ordained bishop in Rome, was assassinated in 775 by two natives, whom he condemned, and was finally buried in the church of St. Lumodi.

   St Willy Brod was an Anglo-Saxon missionary and patron saint of the Netherlands. Born in Northumberland, England around 658 AD. As a child, he was sent to practice at Rippon Abbey near York as a disciple of St. Wilfrid. Came to Ireland in 678, taught from St. Egbert at Rathmerhidge Abbey. Priest in 688. In 690, he was sent with 11 other missionaries to Friesland in the north of the Netherlands, where he met the Christian Frankish King Pepin II in Utrecht, and began to preach to the Frisians after obtaining consent. .

  In 692, Willy Broad went to Rome to meet Pope Sergius I and was authorized by the Holy See as an apostle. On November 21, 695, he went to Rome for the second time. On the recommendation of Sergei III, the bishop of St. Cecilia, he was appointed by the archbishop of the Frisians and bestowed the holy name of Clement. After that he settled in the city of Utrecht and built a cathedral.

  After the death of Pepin II in December 714, the non-believing Frisian King Radboud immediately ordered the demolition of the church, the persecution and massacre of Christians, and the expulsion of Willy Broad from the country. During this time he wandered between Maas, De Waal, Brabant, Thuringia, Denmark, and Helgoland, only to return to his post after the death of Larder in 719. In the next 20 years, he rebuilt many churches and monasteries, and cultivated a large number of indigenous clergy, thus keeping the Frankish kingdoms under the influence of English culture for a long time.

The opinions of most people are not the same as being objective, most people are composed of individuals, and the opinions of individuals are always subjective, just like a vase placed on a round table, and everyone sitting around the table has a different angle , the vase seen is also different. Should I take what I see as the standard and force others to look exactly the same as what I see?

   In a world that already lacks forgiveness, think twice.

   Besides, the world lacks forgiveness and forgetfulness.

Even if your brain forgets, there is still paper to help you remember. When in Rouen, Georgiana communicated with the Archbishop of Combáceres, Philip took notes, and Archbishop of Combáceres and Roqueello Archbishop Er is a friend.

But she said so much, what moved the Archbishop of Combáceres most was the "increase of pastoral areas" in Brittany. Even if the promotion of cider instead of wine, Irish missionaries did not enforce the promotion in the Netherlands. wine, but the beer that the locals love to drink.

   St. Willy Brod met the Christian Frankish King Pepin II in Utrecht, and began preaching to the Frisians "with consent".

  Some people may object, but are you willing to leave the world of flowers and go to such a desolate place to be with seabirds?

  The Archbishop of Roquerol and the Mechelen Priesthood wrote protests, mainly protesting the seizure of seminary materials, and not inciting judges and public officials as some theologians did. She felt that today she took the Mamluks to church, and the priests might not hide as much as the last time she went to St. Pierre in Geneva.

   She was not only in the office in Geneva... In short, she slept well last night. Although she wasted a lot of planning time, she woke up in the morning feeling refreshed, and a clear head was extremely important to her.

  After getting ready, she put on her cloak and left the palace.

At this time, the sky outside the window was gray and gray, as if there was no daylight, but the church bell had already rang, and the sound did not sound melodious, but like a musical instrument called a chime, playing a hymn she had never heard before. .
