Chapter 852: Cutting pain

"I have not participated in the Great Revolution, but I have met Napoleon. That little Corsican has an amazing aura. He only needs to look at people to make them succumb. Sometimes I even think he is a wizard." After greeting a friend who was passing by, Giovanni continued, "Do you know how he treats his finance minister? That attitude is not as much as he respects a manservant. At least he must behave in front of the manservant. Approachable, I heard that the British Ministry of Magic has erected a sculpture of magic is power, and the mysterious man is also a reader of The Monarch?"

"I don't know, what do you think, dear?" Severus asked graciously. His beautiful half-veela wife was too busy eating sashimi to pay attention to him.

"People like heroes. In October 1795, Napoleon was very successful in suppressing the riot with artillery. He killed so many civilians, but the civilians still regarded him as a tribune. However, he was not the first consul like Caesar. When he and the Republic When the congressmen tried to communicate, they objected fiercely. Later, Napoleon had to let his brother Lucien come in with a group of soldiers to arrest them. The remaining congressmen all agreed. After Napoleon came to power, he terminated all "Liberty" began to rule with an iron hand. After suffering the pain, those who worshiped and supported him were the most unruly Jacobins. He was like an animal trainer in a circus, making those crazy people Humanity has become docile and obedient again.”

"Do you know how the French Revolution broke out?" Severus asked.

"I think it's clearly written in the book that the people of Paris stormed the Bastille."

"I want to know more details."

"What good will that do to me?" Giovanni asked with a bohemian smile.

"The Dark Lord told us a story before. There was a little boy in the 17th century. He told people that if selling his soul to the devil would allow him to eat well every day and have a pony to ride, then he would be willing to do it." Severus smiled grimly and said, "The adults hanged him and burned him to ashes. Do you also want to try what it feels like to be burned to ashes?"

The smile on Giovanni's face faded a lot.

"That happened a long time ago, you have to give me time to think about it." Giovanni complained, and after a moment he said, "I remember that the person in charge of the Bastille was the Marquis de Launet. He was a pretty good man. The Bastille There are not so many legendary political prisoners in the prison. There are four fake certificate dealers, two mental patients, and a homosexual. This person is still a person whose parents think he is a homosexual and asked the warden to take care of him. The mob rushed When I came in, there were only 7 prisoners and 120 guards, all of whom were old, weak, sick and disabled."

"What?" Severus asked in disbelief.

"The empire has no money. It's very expensive to keep too many prisoners in prison. It's better to send them to the New World to reclaim the wasteland." Giovanni said, "And those nobles who dress like dolls are not that bad. They abuse their privileges and push people in." He was tortured in prison. The trigger of the incident was Louis XVI's dismissal of Jacques Necker, the director of finance. He supported the convening of the Estates-General to make the number of representatives of the third estate equal to the number of representatives of the privileged estates. He also advocated equal taxation for all estates. In short, the Parisians at that time regarded him as the savior of France. On July 12, a large group of people gathered in front of the Royal Palace in Paris and demanded that Necker be reinstated. Facing the restless crowd, the officers ordered the guards to use force to maintain order. However, the guards rebelled and not only refused to fire on the people, but also joined the rebel crowd. As a result, the royal troops who adhered to their duties were beaten to a pulp by the people and driven out of the city. A large number of court offices were looted and destroyed. .Paris citizens looted all the weapons in gun shops and small arsenals in the city, even private collections of antique matchlocks. On the morning of July 14th, thousands of people began to march in Paris. They first captured it without any effort. Les Invalides, which was used as a military hospital at the time...you know, cheese in France, one of the guards at Les Invalides said that there were 250 barrels of gunpowder and lead shot in the Bastille, and later it was said that Jacques Necker, the finance director, was imprisoned there. , they were going to rescue him. In fact, Necker stayed at his home. Instead, there was a Marquis named Donatien Alphonse François de Sade, who was born in the oldest family in France. He belongs to an aristocratic family, and his mother also has royal bloodline from the Bourbon dynasty. He himself was baptized together with Prince Louis V of Condé. He is a very close family to the royal family, and his title is a marquis, second only to the duke."

"What did he do?" Severus asked.

"Remember the homosexual I just mentioned who was under the custody of the Marquis de Launet? He did all the ridiculous things in Italy, and his parents found someone to take him back. He was not idle in the Bastille, and had his

The imagination was written into a book, and there are many readers. When he found that there were people demonstrating outside, he who had once attempted to escape from prison came up with an idea. He shouted to the Paris people marching, 'They are killing prisoners inside! There is a lot of ammunition here!'

, at that time, the Marquis de Launet was hosting a banquet in prison to entertain several representatives..."

"What?"

"They were negotiating, eating and talking. When he shouted, people outside thought that the representatives were being tortured in prison, so a small group of people slipped into the Bastille through a hidden drawbridge. Guards in the fortress

In panic, they began to fight back, and the crowd outside the fortress also began to attack, aiming the forts taken from the Invalides at the Bastille. The forts of the Bastille had been removed during the negotiations. In this way, thousands of people faced 100 people.

Several people fought for more than three hours. The Marquis de Launet surrendered. If he continued to resist, he and his soldiers would die. When he was escorted to the square in front of the prison by the crowd, a chef passed by. He just looked at it.

It was hilarious. At that time, someone suggested hanging the Marquis de Launet, cutting off his head and hanging it on the tail of a horse. The Marquis resisted desperately and kicked the cook. The crowd shouted for the kicked person to do something. If the Marquis kicked

He was a tailor, and he would not have ended up like that. After all, not everyone has the guts to kill people with a knife. However, the chef had to handle meat every day. Amid the public outrage, he felt that what he was doing was right, so

He used a knife he had brought to try to cut the Marquis de Launet's neck, but the knife was too blunt, so he used the knife he carried with him to slit the Marquis's throat."

"Stop talking," Severus said.

"I saw you brought in a lot of followers, including three beautiful girls. Not everyone on this occasion is upright and trustworthy. Can those two boys protect their safety?"

Severus remained silent.

"The Marquis de Sade likes to use drugs, and it applies to both men and women. Those children are like lambs that broke into the wolf's den. Even the boys are not safe." Giovanni said, "The children of today's rich families are not as good as the aristocrats of the past.

Okay, then, I am as sophisticated as a middle-aged person at this young age. If it were them, they would not stop me from talking. They want me to go into more detail, and it would be best to tell me even the trajectory of the blood splatter."

"Don't they realize it?" Severus asked with a frown.

"I think that's the problem." Giovanni shrugged, "There are quite a few Marquis de Sade here."
