Chapter 1460 "Guide"

Before Napoleon crossed the Alps, in addition to Hannibal, Charlemagne also crossed it.

Unlike the French army that was originally intended to support the War for the Spanish Crown, Napoleon had a guide to lead the way, and the French promised not to reveal the identity of the guide.

On September 23, 1801, the former senator Clement de Rees was murdered in his villa on the River Cher, and on November 19, Bishop Audrian of Finistère

Assassinated, both men had served as judges of the Special Court.

At that time, they were not called special courts. They used the court of first instance in the regular judicial system. Later, they found that the plaintiffs and witnesses were easily retaliated by gangsters, so the "security judges" replaced the government commissioners in the court of first instance and took up the task.

An indictment is drafted, and the jury can only make a decision based on written evidence.

Although the countryside will not be restored to order quickly and completely, at least it is not like some chaotic places where some people dare to rob the convoys transporting state treasury taxes.

Some veterans will choose to become sheriffs like Bruce Bernard, while others will choose to become "Katush". It may be sad if former comrades meet in this way, but this is fate.

What is the most important thing for farmers? Survival and food come first. Many people cannot bear this kind of life and leave their hometowns, but not all of them succeed.

Not every risk will be rewarded. There is no shortage of talented losers in the world. If Napoleon Bonaparte had not been appreciated by Robespierre Jr., he might still be an artillery captain, dejected by his broken love on the streets of Paris.

Georgiana wasn't very good at looking at horses. The horse market in such a small place was not in the trading season, and secondly, the scale was not as large as Bordeaux. Anyway, she didn't see any good horses, but she did see some business opportunities in the pasture.

Her private seal is alfalfa, which is a kind of pasture grass, but natural grasslands have all kinds of grasses, such as white snakeroot, which is poisonous to the human body, and Abraham Lincoln's mother was killed by it.

Among the pastures in the manger, Georgiana saw yarrow, one of the herbs used to make hemostatics.

She suddenly thought of Severus, and then she remembered that she could use it as a hemostatic medicine for the front line.

Trauma is inevitable in war. This grass has anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and wound astringent effects. In Greek mythology, and Homer's epic Iliad, Achilles used this phrase to treat foot injuries.

Therefore, this flower is also called Achilles and has been used for various diseases for thousands of years.

The origin of this flower is the Alps, but no farmer intends to grow it like the flower farmers in Provence. She wants to try to open a perfume and essential oil factory in Annecy. The transportation here is very developed, and the south can reach

Italy can lead to France from the west and Switzerland from the east. Rousseau even sang in the choir of St. Pierre Cathedral when he was a boy.

That night she had a lot of unhealthy dreams. Fortunately, there was only one male protagonist, otherwise she would have jumped off Mount Blanc. In the story of Pride and Prejudice, Pemberley was in commotion because of two wealthy bachelors.

In the story of "The Red and the Black", Julien, who wants to get ahead, has an affair with the mayor's wife of the Restoration Dynasty, and that small city happens to be located on the border between France and Switzerland.

The small city in the story has many sawmills. Compared with opening an essential oil factory, it may be more practical to open a lumber factory.

Napoleon planned to ask Chaptard to build a military road from the entrance of the Simplon Tunnel to Geneva. If Georgiana persuaded the local wealthy people to expand the existing road and extend a section to Simplon, then this communication line would be

Once the traffic is smooth, if wooden rails can be laid, the loading capacity of the four-wheeled carriage will be even higher.

It is not easy to convince these local elites, but more importantly, Napoleon's regime is stable. He needs a victory to stabilize through the forced political and religious agreement and the soaring prices caused by famine. The trouble is that the war situation in Saint-Domingue is not like him.

As expected, although Georgiana poured cold water on him from the beginning, even if he won this war, it would be a miserable victory.

In fact, Switzerland, a "neutral country", has never been completely neutral. The French garrison there is like the immortal Anais' husband Ibrahim. His wife has long wanted to leave him and go to heaven to enjoy happiness. Trade is

A non-military invasion method, Georgiana intended to heal the wounds caused by France's forcible interference in other countries' internal affairs by promoting commercial exchanges between the two countries.

When the senior official was away, the senior official Jacques Moller accompanied Georgiana throughout the whole process. Currently, there are frequent fights between French and Swiss herdsmen over the Pusse Valley.

It is a natural pasture where herdsmen on both sides can graze, with the Pus River as the natural dividing line.

The problem is that it is a small river and animals can cross it by wading in the water, so conflicts sometimes occur.

Many people have thought about the sawmill, but the Mont Blanc province does not have abundant water resources and cannot use water to transport wood. Georgiana asked senior officials to find some carpenters and find a country road to lay wooden tracks.

One horse could easily pull the goods that were difficult for two horses to pull. Only then did the senior officials become interested and brought a few familiar friends to watch.

A trip from Paris to Mont Blanc takes six days, so she is not in a hurry to look forward to letters from Paris. Most of the letters she sent last time were ordinary letters. After being trapped in this world for a year, she has still accomplished nothing except abducting her.

He gave birth to a son who was not born to him.

Matilda told the letter about Delmid's current situation. He is now receiving enlightenment under the tutelage of Madame Montesquieu. He occasionally goes to Soubise House to learn Italian with Letizia from his Italian uncles.

, Murat’s son would compete with him for toys to play with, and when he was just over a year old, the boy showed his extraordinary strength.

Delmid would let him go at first, after all, he was older. Later, the two boys started fighting often, but Letizia didn't care at all and even encouraged them to fight.

It's normal for little boys to fight. When Napoleon was in military school, he didn't fight with his classmates. Although Delmid was older, he was not in good physical condition. Fighting was just for physical exercise.

However, the fights between the "big boys" cannot be tolerated. Farmers and herdsmen in the surrounding areas of the river valley will drive their livestock into the mountains to eat wild pasture in the summer to reduce the burden on the farm. The men will prepare the pasture for the winter at this time. This kind of

Production activities have been going on for a thousand years, but the soil in the Alps is barren and unsuitable for farming, and it is unrealistic to switch to full grazing. Rinderpest and sheep plague will kill a large number of livestock, not to mention frozen lambs.

There is a difference between theory and practice. The learning process made her feel that time passed quickly, and it felt like the Mamluks had arrived in a few days.

Anas was very calm and did not feel any danger approaching, but Georgiana still felt that she had to do her own security work.

After these people arrived, a small team assigned to her by the Chasseur to protect her safety left the town to complete its mission.

She has plans to stay there permanently, and may even be "exiled" to this picturesque place in the future. The Englishman she saw last time was the Earl of Marsbury, and this time the Englishman she saw came with the Mamluks.

Two young Englishmen, one whom Georgiana knew, was Lord Broome, Cornwallis' only son, and the other whom she did not know. He brought an entourage with him and rode through the city in an open carriage.

"Introduction, this is Lord Henry Petty." Lord Broome introduced to Georgiana, "He is a friend of the former Prime Minister William Pitt Jr."

"What are you doing here?" Georgiana asked.

"Come and meet the legendary Cleopatra." Lord Henry Petty said in a dandy-like manner, carefree and ungrateful, "Why are you so short?"

Georgiana wanted the young man to see the power of being short. No student in school dared to call her short.

"I heard that a dance is going to be held here, is that right?" Lord Petty looked at this clean and simple town. "Where will it be held?"

"City Hall." The senior official said immediately.

Lord Petty paid no attention to him.

"This place smells like a barn." Lord Patty said to Georgiana in English. "How about you come back with us?"

"You mean going back to Paris?"

"No, I'm going back to London. Don't you miss the Thames?" Lord Petty said with a smile.

"You think I'm useless?"

"You still have influence over him, but what's the use if he doesn't see you?" Lord Petty sneered. "Now he takes baths several times a day, just like Marat. Last time he put Lucien and Talleyrand in the bathtub.

Driven away."

"Oh my God," she whispered.

"The doctor said that taking a bath is not good for his skin disease, but he needs a bath to replenish his strength. He looks a lot fatter." Lord Petty said, "So we don't need to do anything. We can just take you back."

"You guys..."

"This is the path he chose. I know that as a woman like you, you will help anyone who has your heart in mind. Don't you feel sorry for your husband?" Lord Petty interrupted her.

"Stop it," said Lord Bloom. "She will think you are a bad person."

Lord Petty walked past Georgiana so arrogantly that his entourage came to her side.

"I am Lord Dumont's tutor," he said softly. "We met the First Consul before we came here."

She didn't ask anything, turned around and walked to her office.

Everyone is suffering, so what does her point mean?
