Chapter 1426

 Chapter 1427 A big tree attracts the wind

A long time ago, there was a country named Jin in the far east. The king of Jin at that time planned to clean up a group of unsettled elements in the country and achieve long-term peace and stability in Jin. However, the neighboring country of Jin, Guo, continued to accommodate those

The nobles who fled the Jin Dynasty.

At that time, there was a Yu State between the Jin State and the Guo State, which was a small country smaller than the Guo State. The king of the Guo State was very favored by the Emperor of Zhou. He often conquered everywhere. This time, he helped the fleeing nobles

He had the opportunity to send troops to attack the new king of Jin.

When the king of Jin couldn't bear it anymore and planned to send troops to teach him a lesson, his counselors dissuaded him. In the view of the counselors, if Guo wanted to win against Jin, there was only one result, and that was to abandon its own civilians. War

The foundation of the state is to raise the people's strength. The monarch makes the common people be attached to their homeland through education, so that they can work together in state affairs. The Guo State does not pay attention to raising the people's strength and does not pay attention to benefiting the people. It launches wars repeatedly and will be in trouble. Therefore, the counselor advised the king of Jin to wait.

etc. Later, a strange thing happened in the Guo Kingdom. A god descended from the sky and lived in Xinyuan. The Guo Kingdom, which was in trouble, immediately sent people to worship him, hoping that the god could save him and escape from the predicament.

But God said, "Only when you are about to perish do you beg for God's life? What is God? How can Guo country be worthy of owning land if its virtue is poor?"

A few years later, the story happened that the Jin State used the pretense to destroy the Guo State, used the way to the Yu State, and then destroyed the Yu State on the way back. This is also the origin of the "Fake Way to Defeat Guo" in the Thirty-Six Strategies.

In addition, there is a beauty trap among the thirty-six strategies. Georgiana deliberately translated it to Napoleon, but the Corsican smiled and hugged her in his arms, snuggling close to the bedside for warmth.

There is no heating in the Palace of St. Luke, so the fireplace is used for heating. The fireplace is burning brightly and the wood is crackling.

The lion who was angry because of George III's crazy idea was now quiet. He talked about his childhood dream of the East. In his eyes, Europe was just a mole hill, and the real heroes were in Asia.

There is a sleeping lion in the east. Once it wakes up, the whole world will tremble.

But this sleeping lion is not India. He has read many books about India, mainly historical materials. That was his only pastime when he was a poor officer.

Georgiana had nothing to do when she was in the military camp, so she borrowed a few books to read, one of which recorded the Kingdom of Mysore in South India.

The vast majority of British intellectuals will have one or two books about India at home, and some may even know Sanskrit. The origin of the Kingdom of Mysore is still controversial, but this is not important. The Tiger of Mysore

Tipu Sultan Haider Ali was India's anti-British hero, but he was killed in battle in 1799. In 1790, due to his defeat, he ceded nearly half of his territory to the coalition organized by the British and sent his two sons to India.

Serve as a hostage to the British.

Of course, there is no freedom when you are a hostage. Why doesn't Britain let these two little princes go back?

Now that Britain has supported the Uodiaru family as the royal family, France can also support it, provided that the two young princes who are being held hostage are found and taken away from the UK alive.

Mauritius has always been a French naval base. Napoleon had no time to take care of it when he led the French army to fight in Egypt. Now he can use the territory of Mysore as a bridgehead to attack the territory of the East India Company, but this means that he must fight with the British

The war has resumed.

After occupying the Mediterranean, we have to go around the Cape of Good Hope and then to the South Asian subcontinent. Why not dig the Suez Canal? It's so close.

But with the arrival of the railway, the British navy could also build one to reach the Red Sea from land, and then board a ship to go to India. The premise was that the Turks would watch the British pass through their territory with arrogance.

According to the Treaty of Amiens, Egypt now belongs to Turkey. Britain and France have to withdraw their troops. If you want to use the passage, you have to pay a price. In this peace negotiation, Napoleon Bonaparte was responsible for acting as the mediator between Turkey and Britain. He built the Suez Canal and the British worked hard.

West Africa has been abandoned for many years.

The East India Company had to bear the freight charges for troops coming from the British mainland and the expenses incurred in India.

The special trade certificate was issued by the East India Company to allow neutral countries to serve British trade. Now there is a problem with it. Are the problematic trade certificates issued by the British or Indians?

Hyder Ali was illiterate, but he was feared by the British Kingdom. On the contrary, Indians who were educated and could speak English were used by the British parliamentarians as tools to rule India.

Napoleon's style was to arouse the national emotions of the locals, whether it was the French or the Italians. Later, the national pride of India also emerged, and the country could awaken. But before that, it was just the granary of the British colonists.

and fantasy objects.

"I used to think that slim looks better, but you can gain weight so that you can have more flesh."

He said with a shameless smile as she got out of bed and got dressed.

Georgiana didn't bother to pay attention to him.

If the peace treaty could be signed, the second industrial exhibition would still have to be held. Fortunately, she had the foresight to postpone it for five months.

But how many industries can be developed in five months?

"Georgiana, put the sari on your body and show me." He made a new request.

"You want me to cover my face?" She sneered and looked back at him.

He suddenly looked at her with a sinister look.

The sight was terrifying, so she had no choice but to do as he asked. She pulled a corner of the curtain used to block the light, covered herself up, and blocked the lower half of her face, leaving only her eyes exposed.

"I hope you are just sister Dina Sade, not an English woman." Napoleon said in a low voice, "And your English husband, I hope they don't exist."

"Not every Englishman is bad." Georgiana whispered. "I think God sent me to you just to let you understand this."

He didn't speak and looked very gloomy, not like the sunny Leon at all.

"Otherwise, I'll tell you another story." She was about to walk over, but Napoleon stopped her.

"You stay right there, don't come over." He said fiercely, "Do they think I'm someone like Louis XV, who will agree to any condition as soon as a woman comes forward?"

"What I just said wasn't enough for them to suffer?"

"How did you know?" he asked again.

"What?"

He didn't answer again.

"I guess," she said calmly, "because I'm trying to understand you."

Their conversation was a bit incomprehensible, but Georgiana thought he understood.

"Don't worry, I didn't tell anyone." She coaxed in a low voice, "You are mine, and I belong to you."

"Have you read The Wealth of Nations?" he said coldly.

"Read it."

"Then have you ever heard of bonuses?"

Georgiana's memories.

"You mean to lower food prices by exporting food?" Georgiana asked.

He laughed and said, "Go tell the British envoys and agree to this condition so that we can have peace talks. No one is allowed to mention the two brothers you just mentioned."

"No problem." Georgiana agreed happily. "Caprara said you were reading The Wealth of Nations, and he was worried about what you were going to do to Italy."

"Next time, don't say you love us both." He lifted the quilt and started to put on his clothes. "This is too disgusting."

But that's the truth.

Georgiana thought to herself, but did not say it out loud.

"Brotherhood" is actually not a good word, she feels it now.
