Chapter 2053 Drink of Victory (3)

Since Napoleon signed the "Lunéville Treaty" and Austria ceded Belgium to France, French newspapers have been talking about the benefits of this peace treaty to France. Of course, one cannot expect anyone to realize that this was a war of aggression. .

  The French and the Austrians have fought in Italy and Belgium more than once. Relatively speaking, the New World does not have that complicated history. It is on the premise that the history of the aborigines has been "deleted". During the French Revolution, Jacobin sent a "quick knife to cut the mess." The history three hundred years ago will no longer be traced, that is, the owner of the land 300 years ago will no longer be traced.

  In Napoleon’s words, from the 17th to the 18th of the foggy moon, he erected a copper wall, no one can look back through it, and all memories will be shattered on this wall.

  Of course, some people will be unconvinced, but there are very few families that can survive 300 years, even the royal family.

The descendants were unable to regain the land of their ancestors. However, Napoleon used ancient place names to name those new countries, such as the Kingdom of Truria. Madame Destal issued an astonishing remark that he experimented with the king’s heirs. It’s a pity It was because she was no longer in Paris, which means that she had lost the forum that allowed her to speak as much as possible, except for a few people, people had forgotten her.

  She needs Paris very much, because it is full of people who are as quick-thinking as her; however, Paris does not need her so much, because Paris is never short of new topics.

In addition to the fashionable Madame Recamier, the most fashionable topic in Paris is Napoleon’s trip to Egypt and the book he brought back about "Eastern Civilization". Just like the Egyptian **** Hathor said, he used a book The gorgeously framed and wonderfully written book concealed the failed expedition.

  When he was fighting on the other side of Gaza, so many people in the army wanted to see the holy sites, but he ordered a turn. Although Germany was the first to join the Crusades, the French were also very famous.

  The scholars who went to Egypt with Napoleon at that time not only carried cultural relics, but also studied Egypt and used French civilization to spread free ideas. Before the French Expeditionary Army landed in Alexandria, Egypt had just experienced the Wahhabi movement. Sufism had many mysticisms, such as revolving dances. In the 21st century, it was regarded as a tourist project, and it was often seen in the advertising content of tourist propaganda films. .

This is forbidden in the eyes of the Wahhabi movement. In addition, there are saints, the holy tomb, and the worship of the holy tree. In the Arab world, there are pilgrimages every year. From the disciples of the prophets to the saints of the lower villages, they have their own annual commemorations. The destruction of the holy tree and the holy tomb is regarded as disrespectful behavior.

The Wahhabists regarded a large part of the Ottoman Empire as a polytheistic worship. When Napoleon’s army landed in Alexandria, the Ottoman Empire fought with the Wahhabi movement. Later, as Napoleon’s army advanced, the two sides had to agree Ceasefire negotiations.

The leader of Mamluk, Ali Bey, has many nicknames, such as "Elf Ali", just like he can use magic to achieve incredible things. His Turkish nickname is Brut Kapan, which means "catching clouds." "He", he achieved achievements that no Mamluk could have achieved in the history of Ottoman Egypt, and was the first to regain the rule of Egypt on his own after the fall of the Mamluk Empire.

  Napoleon solved these spells with a Leiden flask. He also learned chemistry in Egypt. Of course, this was not for killing time. He was like a magician, holding two flasks with a liquid like distilled water in them. When the two were mixed, they boiled, emitting colorful smoke, and the liquid in both flasks was dry until the smoke disappeared. , Turned into a yellow stone.

  The Egyptians were stunned. After they took the stone and checked it, he demonstrated the experiment of burning pure sodium in water. The sodium banged like a carbine, and the audience was dumbfounded.

  When experimenting with the Leiden flask, he asked more than a thousand people to touch the wire hand in hand, and the skeletons of those people were trembling when they were electrocuted.

  I waited for the limelight once, but it was actually after the performance for the Hesheys, that similar performances were handed over to the assistants. In the first two years of the French occupation of Egypt, it was indeed a fascinating period from a human point of view. While the Egyptians were accepting European science and technology, they were also accepting the ideas of the French Enlightenment, all the way to Napoleon’s flagship "East "Number" was blown into the sky by Nelson and Sidney Smith.

Napoleon unified Upper and Lower Egypt, Palestine, Syria and other brilliant achievements. Although he still did not restore the flow of the pilgrimage to Mecca, he allowed him to interfere in Egypt’s internal affairs, including the land issue. The power became fragmented and the Ottoman Empire saw an opportunity, but they were afraid to act when Napoleon left Egypt and returned to France.

  War and disease, and years of lack of local rescue, made the soldiers depressed. Many French converted to Christianity and married Egyptian wives. General Maynu married an Egyptian woman in this situation.

  The departure of the French left a power vacuum in Egypt. The Ottomans prevented the Mamluk family from rebuilding at all costs. This was the best time for them to regain their authority. The British were worried that Napoleon would retake Egypt. They had more confidence in the Mamluks than the Ottomans, so they worked hard to revive the powerful Mamluks and put pressure on the Ottomans.

  As soon as the British leave, the power behind the Mamluk family is gone, and the Ottomans will use their own solutions to solve the Egyptian problem-get rid of the Mamluk family in Cairo and charge their wealth into the treasury. However, Mamluk will not sit still and will inevitably start a fierce power struggle with the Ottomans.

They have lived in Cairo for six hundred years. They have survived Selim the "Cold One" and Napoleon. There are also Wahhabists who are ready to go. Who will become the master of Egypt? It must be.

  "Before" Giorgioanna thought that the Suez Canal could not be repaired because the French survey engineer had a ghost and reported false data that misled Napoleon.

  “Now” she knew the reason. As long as Britain still occupied Malta and had sea dominance, the completion of the Suez Canal would not be able to achieve what Napoleon had envisioned.

  These are state secrets, but Bonaparte told her as a story. It was a big challenge to say bad things about Britain in front of a British woman.

  Before General Remier and General Destin had a duel in Lyon, Napoleon had made mediation. He hoped that the past would pass, but how could some things pass so easily?

She asked about the scene of the balloon flying on the Day of the Prophet on Monge. It is said that the effect was not as good as expected. The flying Mongolf balloon lost fuel and no hot air, and finally fell to the ground. The Egyptian audience recovered. Contempt for European civilization, comparing it with the kites made by servants for festivals and weddings, the locals were not as impressed as the previous experiments in chemistry and electricity.

  Many of these French soldiers stationed in Boulogne-sur-Mer have seen the world before, and they will not make a fuss about a Leiden bottle.

  In other words, she needs a "Taiwan pillar" that can create a big scene, making the crowd breathless in shock, similar to disappearing the Statue of Liberty, the question is where can she go to find the Statue of Liberty?

  It’s so ugly when the audience doesn’t pay for it, and she has no doubt that some people will boo her.

   "Madam!"

  Just as Georgiana was looking at the program with a sad face, Philly ran in in a hurry, holding a jewelry box in her hand.

  Georgina didn't feel anything about these things now, and she smiled and watched her run over.

   "Look at it." Philly couldn't wait to open the jewelry box.

Inside    is a pair of teardrop-shaped earrings, placed on dark blue velvet, almost mixed with it.

  The jewels she usually sees are in contrast to the lining. This is the first time she has seen this combination.

  "Look carefully." Philly shook the jewelry box cautiously. These earrings are like round water droplets, but there are a lot of "impurities" inside, looking colorful.

   "What is this?" Georgiana asked.

   "The star-stone is said to be the vitreous body produced when a meteorite in the sky fell to the ground." Philly explained, "Mr. Watt made it into an earring and gave it to you."

  She just felt a buzzing in her head.

   "Does it look good?" Philly asked.

  Georgiana had only one thought in her mind—whether this pair of earrings are radioactive, and whether she would change it when wearing them, such as how long a pair of ears should be.

   "Good-looking." She said with a smirk.

   "Then, shall we accept?" Feilier asked cautiously.

   "Of course." Georgianna continued to smirk, even if there was radiation, it was sent by Watt, and she couldn't refuse it.

  "Then put it on and have a look." Philly said excitedly.

  Georgiana looked at the pair of earrings. They looked really good, but cosmic rays were inaccurate.

  "Wear it again on the day of the party." She shuffled.

   "Oh." Fei Lier said with disappointment, reluctantly looking at the earrings in the box.

  Sun gold (solar-gold) you have taken photos, are you afraid of this?

  Georgina put the two star-colored stone earrings on her ears.

  "Does it look good?" She asked Philly after she was wearing it.

   Philly nodded, her eyes looking at Georgiana were full of expectation, as if she wished she could wear it too.

  "You go to Alice, just tell her, my pair of Luotian earrings..."

   "It still belongs to you."

  She looked up at the person who interrupted her.

   "Go out." Bonaparte said, and Philie stood up, but kept her head down, and left.

  Georgiana looked at him calmly, because he also had a jewelry box in his hand.

   "Come here." He said, standing by the dressing table, she was obedient.

  Waiting for her to sit down on the dressing stool, he opened the jewelry box and "carried" the necklace out in a nearly rude manner, similar to the way he reined his horse.

  Although she did not see clearly, based on her experience, it should be a diamond necklace. The sunlight outside the window is refracted by it, changing into a bright light.

   "Have you heard of the Taj Mahal?" Bonaparte asked behind her while handling the necklace clasp.

   "Yes." She said arrogantly.

"anything else?"

  "That is the mausoleum built by the Great Moor Emperor for his beloved Princess of Persia. It is the jewel of India." Georgiana said.

  "Then have you heard of the Big Moir Diamond?"

"what?"

   Before she could react, he had put the huge diamond necklace on her neck.

  "A French traveler once saw this diamond while serving in India, but it disappeared later, just like the Regent’s diamond."

  "He stole it? Like'Diamond Pete'?" Georgiana asked.

   "Why don't you think that it might have been given to his concubine by Big More?" Bonaparte said.

  Because he would not do that.

  This diamond is too big to be mounted on the queen's crown.

When she touched it, she remembered that Queen Victoria’s crown had a Mountain of Light diamond. It is said that it and the Tsar’s Orlov diamond were separated from one diamond, and this diamond happened to be Wear it on her neck.

  "Tell me what are you thinking?" he asked.

  She was thinking of Rose on the Titanic. Carl gave her a blue diamond Heart of the Sea in an attempt to seize her heart. The Heart of the Sea is not as big as the diamond on her neck at the moment.

   "I'm thinking of the Taj Mahal in the sunset. It is made of white marble, dyed in the color of the sunset, and looks like a rose."

  He lowered his head and kissed her on the neck, leaving a rosy hickey.

   "Like this?" he asked defiantly.

  She silently looked at the extremely stupid woman in the mirror.

  "Do you want to go to India and see the real Taj Mahal?" he asked.

  She stood up and kissed him happily like a normal woman.

  Although this diamond is very heavy, it is like a chain with a stone ball hanging around her neck.

   "I like you to wear these earrings, just like the stars in the night sky." Bonaparte smiled happily and said, "Remember to wear that black dress that night."

   "But I crossed it once."

   "Wear it again, I love it." He scratched her nose with his finger "My Queen of the Night."

  She found that she could not refuse.

   "Yes, Sudan." She said softly.

  He seemed to be very satisfied with her attitude, and led her to waltz in a humble house, with his half-tone singing as the soundtrack.

  He looked very happy, as if he had won something. Not only was his footsteps light, his whole person seemed to be still glowing, like fire and sun, dazzlingly dazzling.
