Chapter 1802 up your alley (11)

Kremlin means inner city in Russian and fortress in Mongolian. When the fire burned in Moscow, Napoleon was resting in the Kremlin.

Originally, the Kremlin was not within the scope of the fire, but then a strong wind suddenly arose, and the fire became more intense due to the wind, and even burned near the arsenal.

The ministers and generals were all trying to persuade him to withdraw, but perhaps because it cost too much to capture Moscow, Napoleon was hesitant at this time.

It was not until the outer wall of the palace finally collapsed that he evacuated to Petrovsky, where the tsar often vacationed.

Another "Angel's Kiss" was once stored in this palace. It was the second version bought by a Russian nobleman from Canova. The first version was purchased by Murat and is currently stored in the Louvre.

inside.

After Napoleon abdicated, all countries came to take away their own national treasures. The four bronze horses in Venice were dismantled by the Austrian emperor. This sculpture was later stored in the Louvre. Theoretically, Napoleon should have never seen it.

That's a pity, because it's a different masterpiece than Pieta.

Cupid had told Psyche not to open her eyes when they met, but Psyche couldn't help but be curious and wanted to see her husband's true appearance.

She broke her oath, opened her eyes, saw the angel's beautiful face, but also lost her husband.

If Cupid was not so handsome, but had the appearance of a monster, would Psyche still be so heartbroken, hoping to regain her lost love?

In order to win back her husband, Psyche even had to please the God of Love who framed her.

Venus gave Psyche almost impossible tasks, including fetching "sleep" from hell.

Once again, Psyche couldn't restrain her curiosity and opened the box, and then she fell into a deep sleep due to the magic.

Cupid found her again, kissed the "sleep" away from Psyche's face, and picked her up in his arms.

Psyche, who had regained consciousness, stretched out her arms to him, accepting this happy meeting.

Their two arms form an "∞" symbol.

As usual, Eugene followed Napoleon to Russia. He was also one of the people who persuaded Napoleon to leave Moscow on the day of the fire.

When the French entered Moscow, the fire did not break out, but everyone in the city evacuated, so that the whole Moscow was as silent as a dead city, with only the rumble of artillery trucks moving slowly through the streets.

It was a very grand city that looked like a jewelry box. No matter how much the Russians looked at it, it would be impossible for them to abandon it.

It doesn't matter who set the fire. Anyway, the Russians who moved to St. Petersburg heard that Moscow was burned. They were worried that St. Petersburg would suffer the same fate and decided to resist desperately.

People who are cornered often burst out with astonishing fighting power. Faced with such an army, even the God of War has no choice but to retreat.

Regarding the retreat route, the generals had different suggestions. Davout suggested going south. Winter in Russia was coming soon and it might be warmer in the south.

However, Napoleon decided to retreat west to Smolensk along the way he came, stopping at the winter camp in Lithuania to rest and fight again in the next spring.

He is a determined person who refuses to give up easily. This character has contributed to his success.

But the winter of that year was really too cold. Even though the weather was good at the beginning of the retreat, the temperature dropped sharply on November 6, and heavy snowfall came unexpectedly. It suddenly dropped to minus 18 degrees, and the weather became colder day by day.

People's physical strength is different. The senior officers hope to reach Smolensk as soon as possible. They have horses and food, while the lower-level soldiers rely entirely on their own legs.

Later, even the cavalry killed their horses to satisfy their hunger and relied on their own legs to walk. The team inevitably stretched, and then some people fell behind, and even the artillery began to collapse.

After all, humans are not artificial machines, they have limits.

The eel looks like a snake. According to the Bible, it is not edible, but it is indeed delicious and extremely nutritious. This delicacy can be seen on the tables of many nobles, including "The Last Supper"

》On the dining table.

The "heresy" of the Renaissance was probably like this, Leonardo da Vinci ridiculed it in this way, and Michelangelo painted a drunken Noah on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel.

The father wants to be naked, but the son covers him with clothes. When the father wakes up, he curses the son.

All in all, eels are very suitable to form a circle like ouroboros, but the "pillar" at the top of Sirius's tattoo is not bendable. If someone's pillar is tilted and twisted, the house will obviously be uninhabitable, not to mention whether it is Anglo-Saxon

Neither the Germans nor the Germans were known to have studied alchemy.

There are exceptions to everything. Lucius Malfoy, who was born as a Norman, knew that the Viking pirates had robbed a lot of things in the Mediterranean when they were engaged in robbery. Many Greek and Egyptian murals had rune annotations.

In Hermetic alchemy, the symbol of mercury is a female symbol with a pair of horns, which looks like a devil with horns. Even the symbol of mercury is referred to as a snake.

Mercury was once used by Easterners to embalm corpses and to refine elixirs, but this heavy metal is actually highly toxic.

Regarding the death of Napoleon Bonaparte, more people focused on whether he was murdered and who his murderer might be, but they ignored the issue of the incorruptibility of his body.

After his death, his body was dissected in a billiards room on St. Helena Island, which was similar to the mummification of ancient Egyptian pharaohs.

However, it is only an autopsy without natron or other embalming treatments. The body stored in the tropics will not still be identifiable 19 years later.

If the British handed over an unrecognizable skeleton to the French, the French would not admit it. After all, the French at that time were no longer those who could pay for a drop of blood of Jesus, the milk of Mary, the cloaks of saints, etc.

The one who was bought at a high price to atone for his sins.

The person who finally dissected Napoleon's body happened to be an Englishman.

At that time, the British were as obsessed with Egyptian culture as the French, and British doctors also had the technology to create mummies.

Why did British doctors make mummies? What's more, Napoleon was the emperor who established Catholicism as the faith of the majority of people. This kind of funeral method full of pagan colors is extremely impolite.

Going back to the previous question, if the British handed over an unrecognizable skeleton to the French, the French would not admit it, unless the British doctors knew in advance that the British-French alliance would need Napoleon's corpse as a bargaining chip during the autopsy.

It was treated with anti-corrosion treatment.

Or there is the "murder theory". Napoleon Bonaparte was poisoned during his lifetime, and the heavy metals remaining in his body after death acted as an antiseptic. But it is impossible for modern people to open a coffin for an autopsy, and DNA testing is not allowed.

Is the huge coffin in the Invalides Church actually Napoleon himself?

Although the Corsicans do not have lily-like faces like the angel Cupid, they have the classical beauty of the Greeks. They can be very charming with a little dressing up. People with similar looks can still be found if you try hard, and grave robbers can

In order to obtain the corpses for autopsy in the medical school to create murders, who knows if they will impersonate him and make a fake one? After all, he has no tattoos or anything like that on his body to identify him.

The tattoo representing the pillar on Sirius's chest is much smaller than the other tattoos. Although the tattoo will deform due to the stretching of the skin as the child grows up, the skin under the neck will not change much. The other tattoos on his body are larger.

There are many, they were tattooed when he grew up.

As for the tattoo that looks a lot like long horns, it may be similar to mercury, with horns added to the female symbol, but it represents something completely different.

Hathor would turn into a cow. In the "delivery room" of the oval hall, Severus and Gongsei saw a blood-red woman with the same tattoo on her chest. She didn't look like a goddess no matter how you looked at it.

, but rather like a demon.

The French used to be very barbaric and would pick out the residue between their teeth with a table knife. Cardinal Richelieu couldn't stand it and ordered the sharp knives to be rounded. Only then did the French nobles begin to have etiquette.

The Sun King Louis XIV deliberately used a luxurious lifestyle, which not only regulated the lifestyle of the princes and nobles, but also caused them to owe huge debts and had to obey the king's control.

Compared with civilian kitchens that advocate minimalism, the ostentation of the Palace of Versailles can be described as luxurious. Generally speaking, the king's breakfast and lunch are relatively ordinary. The dinner at 10 o'clock in the evening is the highlight. At least 300 people will watch Louis XIV eat.

.

Not only that, the nobles also paid tribute to the king's tableware. The crown prince could have a chair to sit on, and the princes and dukes sat on stools. This is indeed much better than the servants in the Middle Ages sitting on the floor.

The meal usually starts with jelly, followed by liqueurs, various sweets, fruits, and then meat, pies, and vegetable soup. There are about 40 dishes in a round, and there are about 200 dishes in total. Of course, the king can't finish it by himself.

, even if it’s only a small bite of each dish.

Waste is shameful. This does not only refer to wasting food. The princes and nobles of the Bourbon royal family spent their time and intelligence on this aspect instead of improving the lives of ordinary people. In the end, the magnificent Bourbon dynasty also

Buried in the wind of luxury.

Immediately after Napoleon abdicated, he encountered a natural disaster and needed to use grain reserves. This happened to expose the corruption problem of the First Empire. It is impossible for Louis XVIII to have a huge deficit in these grain warehouses less than a year after taking over.

Those bureaucrats could actually put the blame on the Corsican and his army, but he ran back from Elba once, who knows whether he will come back a second time.

Although the emperor did not kill as a warning to others like the Impaler, he would not forgive the "troublemakers". All businessmen who drove up food prices would not end well in the hands of Napoleon. Women cannot feel this fear because they are

Women, the emperor longed for their love.

Just think about it, is there such a kind of woman in this world who doesn’t love good looks, nor is she greedy for glory and wealth, just because she loves that man’s excellent character?

If this poor boy in the past has lost his character, is it necessary for her to stay with him for the sake of her glory and wealth that she is not greedy for?

Women, sometimes they cannot help but have compassion and desire to save, and feel that they can change a person.

In fact, when Napoleon abdicated for the second time, he was still unwilling to give up his position. He gave his position to his biological son Napoleon II. If that boy could grow up smoothly and find the treasure robbed in Moscow, maybe there would be something else in the world.

Variety.

But after his death, Napoleon's "legitimate" direct descendants ended, and his illegitimate son was considered unqualified to inherit the throne. Logically speaking, his dream of an empire ended here.

But his nephew still wanted to continue dreaming. Napoleon III not only restored his luxurious lifestyle, but also continued his uncle's dream of transforming Paris. As a relative, Napoleon III would of course commemorate Napoleon I as a saint, but he did not dare to do that.

It's so blatant. The Church of St. Francis Xavier was built by the Ottomans during the city reconstruction. The church is on the extension line of the mausoleum of the Invalides. It has no special features. It has a pipe organ. No one usually goes there.

On the stained window of this church, there are two figures, a man and a woman, located in the side aisle of the church. They are facing each other. The patron saint and Benadette are both cemeteries, and they look very equal.

As a family cemetery, there should indeed be a place for women to be buried. The male soldiers who lived in the Invalides were all men later, including the "Eagle" the little Roman King.

The graves of women are still outside, and they are still for Bonaparte's female relatives, such as Napoleon's mother, sisters and Josephine or Marie Louise.

The Duke de Sade who wrote novels once abducted a nun's sister-in-law, which caused his wife to break up with him, and his mother-in-law was wanted by a king.

There are forbidden books about nuns' romantic histories. Think about it, no matter how beautiful a nun is, she is still a nun. She needs to be respected and cannot be coveted.

Originally, the Marquis de Sade should be arrested and executed, but later his death penalty was canceled due to his privileges.

In 1784, he prepared to escape from prison, but was later captured and imprisoned in the Bastille with better conditions.

In addition to not being free, his furniture and food were all noble-level, but in 1789 he was yelling and screaming, and after the Bastille was breached, he was imprisoned in a lunatic asylum.

There is a line engraved on the rosette in the Saint-Hyperus Church: You can only go so far.

It is actually inappropriate for the young and beautiful Benadette's tomb to be placed in the St. Francis Xavier Church. It should be replaced by an old nun like Mother Teresa, so as to prevent some people from thinking like mental patients.
