Chapter 1284 Lakeside Poet

The trigger of the American Revolutionary War was the Boston Tea Party. The cause, course, and consequences of the incident are clearly described in the book.

The Donald Tax Act replaced stamp duty and became a means for the British government to extract the colonies. All paper, glass, lead, paint, and tea exported from Britain to the colonies were taxed.

These things are currently unable to be produced in North America and must rely on the United Kingdom. Napoleon changed a method and collected taxes on exported goods to the colonies. There is price competition in the market. Of course, there are many customers for cheap and good things, so long as the price cannot rise.

, additional taxes will of course cause dissatisfaction in the colonies, and it is only a matter of time that the same thing as the American War of Independence will break out.

His purpose is very clear, which is to start a war, because only in this way can those hungry wolves who have been imprisoned in Paris for a long time be released to carry out robbery.

After the Portuguese War, some soldiers had instigated a mutiny because they were jealous of Lucien Bonaparte's spoils. He suppressed that crisis, but this was not a long-term solution after all. Since the French Revolution, every time French soldiers went to war

They were both under extreme crisis conditions. Napoleon carried huge debts during his two expeditions to Italy. In order to raise military expenses, he collected a lot of special war taxes from the conquered areas, which was referred to as Mingqiang.

Soldiers can make a fortune from war, and a profitable war is more attractive to these people than an unprofitable peace.

Napoleon has a bigger plan in Europe, and Europe represents civilization. He will no longer launch barbaric wars in Europe. In comparison, overseas colonies are the best targets.

This is indeed not something a woman should know, and it will stain her pure soul. But since he mentioned Milan just now, he indirectly told her the answer. The fact that the people of Milan have a good impression of the French does not mean that the people around Milan have a favorable impression of the French.

I have a good impression. Pavia, like Milan, is in Lombardy. A special military tax of 20 million was imposed there. Later, riots broke out there. The rebels in Pavia later joined forces with Milan's Walled City Guards, and the city

There was chaos and fires were raging in the neighborhood.

This was originally a piece of history, but even with her brain, she could not have imagined that the partner of her extramarital affair was actually the robber who directed this barbaric war.

In other words, she never thought that she would get married in her life. She thought that the pastoral life of farming, raising flowers, cooking food, teaching students, and occasionally drinking butterbeer was quite nice. She didn't need a troublesome man at all.

The biggest difference between civil law and British and American common law is that it cannot be changed arbitrarily. In the administrative process, a pardon is required for flexible operation, and this pardon requires the signature and approval of "His Majesty the Emperor."

It will take some time for this pardon to be effective after it is promulgated. What is even more terrible is the kidnapping of the papal envoy.

The church has a lot of land, which will produce food, and there are surrounding countries that have trade relations with the Pope. Napoleon needs 1 million quintals of food to relieve famines, and he also needs to sell wheat worth 70 million pounds to Britain. If something happens to the envoy, don't

Talking about his dream of Rome, even his position as the First Consul may not be secure. He has seen the scenes of citizen riots with his own eyes. At this time, there is a lack of food and there are many people, and Paris is instigated by the royalists.

It's safe.

A beautiful girl like Sophie will especially become prey. Will the young man who loves to write love poems to her come to save her?

No matter how many nice words you say, no actual actions can reveal the authenticity of a person.

Between a poet and a prince, she would choose the prince without hesitation, even though the prince was sometimes very unkind and didn't know how to care for a woman.

She looked at Rambouillet's lively garden. This place was as beautiful as heaven. However, she was a fool who chose the truth between truth and happiness, so when everyone was happy, she was always worried alone.

She has such an unsociable personality, but she always pretends to be sociable. No wonder she felt so tired from socializing in the past.

Napoleon kicked the guests out of the suite, but the British guests did not leave. They were more comfortable in the garden. Wordsworth, who looked a little like Severus, was chatting with his friends.

Severus would not smile like Wordsworth during social activities, and the young man was too thin and not as strong as him. Although he was also dressed in black, he did not have that dark tension.

Wordsworth may have sensed that someone was looking at him, so as soon as he turned his head, Sophie stood between them.

"Let's go see the swans, miss." Sophie said with a meek smile.

Georgiana smiled and followed Sophie out of the garden.

Rambouillet was originally in a state of tightness on the outside and loose on the inside, but now she has become much more tense, with Napoleon's guides wandering around her.

These soldiers were brought back from Egypt. In fact, she felt that it was better for him to untie her shackles than these Muggle soldiers.

He had a strange hobby and liked teasing her feet. She could only understand that the shackles restricted her freedom and gave him a sense of control.

The Leon who covered her eyes yesterday and took her to see the swans like a sunshine boy seemed to be a phantom. The person who appeared in front of her just now was a devil surrounded by war and darkness. This metaphor is very dramatic, but Bo

Isn’t Lord Nabal’s life dramatic?

She stood by the pool and looked at the swans from England. In just ten years, a down-and-out boy from the streets of Paris became the object of favor for the King of England. No wonder in the biography Severus showed her,

He would say that it all seemed like a false dream.

"...Wait, Stefani..."

A man's voice came from the forest.

"I have nothing more to say to you, Louis, please get out of the way!" A woman's voice sounded.

"Let's elope." The man said, "Let's leave this horrible country."

The scandal had been circulated for so long. She really didn't expect that she would actually watch the scandal one day. She took Sophie and hid behind a tree and peeped at the pond.

She knew the male protagonist, who happened to be Louis Bonaparte, and the female protagonist looked familiar.

"You...you are so rude!" the girl said angrily.

"I love you. I don't want to marry Hortense. It was all my brother's idea." Louis begged.

"Then you can reject him like Lucien, instead of begging me. If I leave with you, what will I get? You will come back and continue to be your heir, but my reputation will be ruined..."

"You just want to be the Duchess of Baden!" Louis shouted, "He's old enough to be your grandfather!"

"I am not marrying the Duke of Baden himself, but his heir. Besides, that will be after I become your adopted daughter. It is too early for you to say that now."

"There is no love in your heart!" Louis said angrily, then turned and left the pool.

After he left, Stephanie covered her heart and stood for a while as if she couldn't breathe, and then staggered away.

"That is Mademoiselle Stéphanie de Beauharnais." Sophie said in Georgiana's ear, "Louis will marry Mademoiselle Hortense after the Bastille Day."

She really had nothing to say.

"Albus, you really should come see this show." She smiled nervously.

After Eugène, another Beauharnais child wanted to marry a German. As a politician, Napoleon Bonaparte was no less cold-blooded than those hereditary monarchs.

She couldn't let cold politics flow in his veins, it would kill him.

"Let's go back and look at the map to see where Baden is." Georgiana took Sophie's arm and walked back to the castle.

She found a more interesting purpose than "peace". She still prefers a humane man over ability, brains, money, and courage. If he also becomes a political animal, she will no longer be interested in him.

When the time comes, she will wave goodbye to this little French lover and spend the night with her spy husband, provided that Severus is still willing to accept her as a slut.

"Can I ask you a question?" Sophie asked carefully.

"What's up?"

"What's so special about Mr. William Wordsworth?"

"He looks a lot like my husband, but he is a little younger and too thin." She smiled covetously. "My husband's muscles are very strong, like steak."

Sophie's face turned red.

"Hahaha." The old woman laughed heartily, with the pleasure of a gangster teasing a little girl.

"The book you were reading in the study before was written by Rousseau?" Sophie asked.

"Yes, but I don't recommend you watch it."

"Why?"

"You are too young."

Sophie nodded in understanding, "Then what book do you recommend me to read?"

Pomona recalled a long list of book titles in her mind, and suddenly she didn't know which one to show her.

"Miss, what do you like about the First Consul?" Sophie asked with some excitement.

"He is sincere, brave and strong, like a lion."

Sophie's expression was very strange.

"Poor guy, even the little girl doesn't believe you are a good person." Georgiana looked at Sophie and shook her head, and continued walking towards the castle.
