Chapter 2051 Drink of Victory (1)

  During the Thirty Years’ War, Gustav II of Sweden had such an incident.

  In the early days of the war, the Elector of Saxony, John Georg I, supported the Habsburgs and Catholicism, and his own country was hardly affected by the war. However, after Sweden participated in the exhibition, he formed an alliance with Sweden and supported the Protestantism, so the war burned to Saxony.

  People who were killed by the enemy at that time were not as good as those who died of illness. Even if the corpse was buried, the decayed corpse water would pollute the ground water, and the well water would also be contaminated.

  A typical European medieval village often has a public well. You can imagine what happens when people in a village drink the water from this well.

  While brewing beer pays much attention to water source, any slight impurity will bring obvious and easily noticeable peculiar smell to beer. And very clean utensils are used when brewing, so compared to raw water, beer is a harmless beverage.

The strategists of that era would plan the reserves of beer when deploying war. Soldiers would only let horses drink water when they arrived in an area. They would go to local breweries and warehouses to drink beer to quench their thirst. If not, they would go to farms and farms. Search in the building, and they will not drink water until the beer is all gone.

  Among the many misfortunes brought about by the war, it would be good if only the property was taken away, especially when the streets were full of drunk soldiers.

However, when Gustav’s Swedish army crossed Krosti in Saxony, the local residents faced an astonishing force. The Nordic people were generally tall and strong. The key was that they abide by discipline, not rob or seize, and They also used clinking gold coins to pay when they begged for food from the residents.

  There are still unharvested grains in the local fields. This is the hope of the local residents for the winter. When the Catholic Allies retreated, they took away all the grains, including those that were just harvested and had not been threshed. In fact, they can burn the mature wheat ears, but if they do, all farmers will starve to death. In order not to starve to death, they can only flee their homes. This is the scorched earth warfare.

  Gustav’s army did not harvest the grain left in the field, but instead spent money to buy the grain and hired farmers and grain trucks.

  Farmers don’t agree. Who knows if these Swedes will suddenly turn their faces.

   agreed and was frightened. One morning, the team transporting grain on a country road met a single knight. They were very nervous because the knight found them and walked towards them.

  It would be strange for people in a peaceful state. Old photos will see a fully armed guard guarding thousands of prisoners.

  Even if the food delivery team is at the entrance of his farm, the knight is only one person, and the people in the food delivery team are still afraid that the knight will kill them. When the red-faced knight stopped the horse with white smoke from its nostrils and stopped in front of these people, the farmers were also looking at him up and down. The visitor was a nobleman, dressed in court costumes, and the horses were noble breeds.

  The young knight started the question "Does this house usually make beer?"

   "Yes." The farmer did not dare to lie and replied repeatedly.

  "Are you the owner of the house?"

   "Yes." The farmer agreed again in a low voice.

  "Do you have beer now?"

  The farmer felt that his heart was about to jump out of his throat. Now that he said no, it would only make things worse, so he cautiously replied, "There are only a few, which are the beer I kept to celebrate the harvest."

"Awesome! The King of Sweden is about to fall here. Please give us some hungry drinks. We drank everything along the way. Now, in the name of the King, I ask you to use the best beer jug. Full of craft beer, put it on the side of the country road to pay tribute to the noble monarch."

  After speaking, the knight turned and left. The farmer filled a jug of beer and placed it on the side of the road as he said, hoping that they could leave early.

  It didn’t take long for the king’s army to come, and the dusty infantry was followed by a half team of dragoons, followed by a cavalry team holding a blue and yellow flag. They did not move the flask.

  When Gustav passed by, he strangled his horse, bent over to lift the jug from the ground, and drank the beer in the jug.

   "Tasteful!" After Gustav drank the beer, he wiped his beard. "It's so comfortable, who made this wine?"

  The peasant who was hiding aside was taken to the king, and Gustav returned the jug to him.

"God will bless you, please accept this." After speaking, Gustav took off the sapphire ring from his hand, threw it into the empty jug, made a croaking sound, and then took the army with him. Dust away.

In the afternoon, the peasants heard the gunfire, and in the afternoon there was news of victory. Gustav’s Swedish army had won, and the source of clear water used by the peasant to make wine, the well, was named “Swedish Spring”. The brewed wine is also famous.

  The farmer became the owner of the winery. The trademark used for the wine he brewed was a ring, which was said to be a "real copy" of the ring given by Gustav.

Giorgioanna shifted her sight from the fire opal ring to the already nascent banquet venue. She collected money from the owners of the opera house, but the reason she gave was to prevent the Gracini incident from happening again and allow her to offer on stage. There are not many actresses who sing. Saint Meri controls this, and Georgian doesn’t care about it. Anyway, if this dinner party is on the front page of the Times and French Gazette, the cost paid by the bosses will be recovered. Who is so wealthy and uses the front page of the newspaper to advertise for the opera? Unless it is an accident like the falling of a crystal lamp at the Paris Opera.

  At this time, there was already a telegraph system. Although it was very rough, the British used the telegraph system on the horses to send news from the racetrack to London. Now this telegraph system is fully utilized by these people. At first, St. Meri looked for the circus everywhere. Later, various people went to St. Meri with their own letters of introduction. It was also this way that Georgiana knew that there were people in the 19th century. How many "juggling" can be seen, such as hypnotism, animal magnetism, magic lights, escape performances.

  Georgiana had planned to start a horse racing bet on the beach, but this “show” was later invalidated because Napoleone was only allowed to play “pure games” and gambling was not allowed.

  Napoleon was most often ridiculed by the third ruling in addition to his accent and his age. Most "old guys" thought he was a "kid".

   William Pitt Jr. encountered a similar situation before. After all, he was only 24 years old when he became prime minister.

  Many young people are like this when they first come into contact with society. Employers want them to be skilled workers when they come out of school.

  Actually, Georgiana still learned something from Wedgwood. He hired the Duke’s daughter as a designer, even though the equipment she designed was almost a chubby child Bacchus or angel.

  The key is personal connections. Wedgwood wants to sell his goods into the upper class, and the upper class porcelain has already been "shared" by many manufacturers, and he has to find another way to gain the market. The Duke’s daughter will at least introduce her design to her friends, or she will give them a few, so that she can expand her influence a little bit.

  You know a lot of people and broaden your boss’ channels. The boss thinks this is okay. Even if you don’t have any sales experience, he will hire you.

  Don’t think that you are alone, it is impossible for one person to fight against the whole world.

  If women want to gain a greater advantage over men, they have lower salaries. This is the case in the textile industry. Male weavers are not competitive at all because their salaries are higher than women and child labor.

  The so-called vicious competition is like this. Even if you don't necessarily get more benefits, it is enough to drive the opponent out of the competition.

  Under this premise, women may not be required to pay equal work to men for the same work. As for men, what should they do if they don’t have a job? Men who have a family and children will have some scruples, and will not be as vulnerable as those who do not have a family. This is why starting a family was the primary goal of every country in ancient times.

  Even real estate and the American Dream are so popular because people need to start a family. People have no need to start a family. Does he still need to buy such a big house? Aren't you afraid of crying in such a big house, but he's the only answer?

  The first industrial revolution allowed the British to achieve brilliant achievements, but the second industrial revolution did not catch up with the British. The old industrialists were unable to keep up with the new era in their thinking. Young people had the thinking, acceptance, and adaptability of young people. Unfortunately, there was no Moonlight Society in England at that time, and the education in Britain fell behind to Germany.

  Emperor Frederick the Great’s era has already begun to implement the universal education system, in Prussia it became a compulsory education for all.

  For Giorgio Anna, eliminating ignorance is more important than studying to make a fortune. At the very least, it is necessary to avoid the kind of panic created by the tearful Madonna in Italy.

  This is very shaken in the hearts of the military and the people. Fortunately, there were French academicians who cracked their methods at the time, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

  She wants to write a report on military discipline and popular science education. It should include the story of Gustav. In the past, scholars and soldiers went to Egypt together. Although there were differences at first, they became happy to cooperate later.

  These things should have been done by a French woman. Why would she, a British woman, do that? What good does France become a strong army for the British?

  Oh, she is really annoying.

  She stamped her foot fiercely, stepping on the soft grass.

   "Who provoked you again?"

  She turned her head and stared at the speaker.

   "Why did you come?" She asked Polifonta, Napoleon's adjutant.

   "Someone, you can arrange it." He took a fragrant letter to her, "Miss Rocour will perform on the evening of the banquet."

   "What does she do?"

  "Later she will sing French opera in Italy instead of Grassini." Polifonta replied, "You met in Lyon last time."

  She recalled such a person.

   "She and Talma played "Melope" together." Polifonta said.

   "Isn't she in Italy? Why did she come here?"

   "Are you well informed." Polifonta shrugged irresponsibly, and then decided to turn around and leave.

  "Wait, who gave this note?"

  "You don't know if you look at the handwriting." Polifonta left after speaking, as if he was busy.

  Georgiana opened the note and quickly found the iconic "n" signed by Napoleon, but when she unfolded the note more, she found that the content was completely different from what Polifonta had just said.

  She glanced at the back of Polifonta hurriedly leaving, and suddenly became even more angry.

  She burned the paper to ashes with flames, so that even if Polifonta peeked at the contents, there was no evidence.
