Chapter 1486 The battle between the island owners

Before Lequeber and his ship reached Saint-Domingue, they had already set fire to the ship and implemented a scorched-earth policy.

Lequeber himself would not go around talking about the restoration of slavery. This was a secret order given to him by Bonaparte, nor would the soldiers on the ship say that they would not know where they were going until they set off.

So who arrived in Santo Domingo before Lequeber and the others?

The Spaniards had already retreated, and they might have been British or Royalists.

In fact, Saint-Domingue has had autonomy for many years, but at that time it was the slave owners who used this power. Now it is the people of Saint-Domingue who rule themselves, as long as they pay taxes on time.

Of course, some people will say that this is a raid on the colonies. If this is true, the entire Republic and even the British mainland will also be targeted. Paying taxes is using part of the money to protect another part of the money. People who don’t understand will always think

not understand.

Where did the white working class of Saint-Domingue come from? Of course they couldn't bear the local exploitation and went into exile. Georgiana was curious why the Earl of Marsbury handed Georgiana the "Factory Act". There were no holidays and low wages.

, people will choose a place that is more suitable for their living environment. This is the migration instinct of animals. These working class people who cannot stand exploitation at home have become knowledgeable people when they arrive on Santo Domingo Island.

People living too poor will pose a threat to the rulers.

Marie Antoinette is the famous deficit queen. Regardless of whether she takes the blame for others or not, she certainly cannot escape her luxurious lifestyle.

Madame Dubarry's last words before her death were "Wait a minute". Others who lived the same life as she did were not even qualified to leave last words. More than 1,000 people were killed in the Place de la Concorde in a year. The scene was so horrific that no wonder there were wizards.

The concealment spell hides one's neck and fakes one's own death.

Peace is beneficial to women. No matter how bad the peace is, if they are caught in a war-torn environment, they will either be as tall as Figel and can fight like men, or they will have their faces painted and dressed up to look ugly.

Georgiana had an intuition that Lederer's method was of no use in Saint-Domingue. When there was a little peace there, external forces would intervene, which would not give France a stable source of revenue.

In theory, coffee can make people wake up. In fact, from the first sip of coffee, Georgiana felt that it was bitter, sour and unpalatable. Now when she saw the elegant people drinking coffee on the roadside, she wanted to leave those cafes.

All were smashed.

This time she did not use a British purebred horse-drawn carriage. She was afraid that she would meet a terrible person, so she tried to keep a low profile.

There were Matilda and Figuell accompanying her in the carriage, but Phyllis was not there, perhaps to avoid suspicion, or perhaps because of her brother's position. Women's opinions are often of little use at this time.

After this disaster is over, if Phyllis is still willing to come back, Georgiana is still willing to accept her, provided that she is still willing to come back.

Napoleoni was trapped in a trap, and the knot was connected one after another. If the knot was not untied, his fate of being imprisoned would happen again. Even God could not solve the problem. The church had already intervened.

She felt very tired, even more tired than Severus and Lily, and she didn't care anymore.

This was a nightmare, but it was also history, it was just reappearing in front of her.

Talleyrand's home was in the city center, a place as luxurious as Soubise House. Georgiana's carriage entered his house without any obstruction.

The deposed foreign minister was still crowded with guests. She was guided into a small living room by his housekeeper. About ten minutes later, the lame devil appeared.

This was Georgiana's first formal meeting with him. In the past, when they met at social events, they only glanced at each other without saying hello. This time she didn't know what to say.

"Sit down," Talleyrand said softly, pointing to the luxurious sofa.

She hesitated, then sat down as he asked, and then Talleyrand sat opposite her. No one knew what to say.

"I understand your intention," Talleyrand said first, "but I am leaving for Berlin, and the negotiations with the Duke of Orange are also very important."

Georgiana sneered.

"Ceylon was not originally ours. It was deceived by your lover from the Netherlands. It was later given to the United Kingdom as part of the Treaty of Amiens. If it weren't for his desire to get involved in India, I don't think there would be such compensation.

question."

"How did you know?"

"He has sent people to Mauritius to take over the military base there, almost together with Cornwallis." Talleyrand said. "His enterprising spirit is called 'Eagle Eyes' by theorists, but it is a pity that the cry of the eagle is too far away.

He cannot hear because the times have limited him."

"Why do you feel that way?"

"I believe that one day people will invent tools that can talk to each other thousands of miles away. I want to see that kind of future, but unfortunately I don't think I will see that day." Talleyrand said, "Can you see it?"

Not only did she see it, she also lived in that world.

"It won't be as beautiful as you think." Georgiana said expressionlessly.

"Look, it's the times that have limited him." Talleyrand said with a smile, "You don't feel like a woman of our time. Is it because you can see the future?"

She looked at the smiling French Foreign Minister and suddenly felt that he was no longer so hateful.

"Ledrell came to me just now, and the method he told me didn't work."

"I told the First Consul the same thing, but he had succeeded before, so he couldn't listen at all." Talleyrand restrained his smile, "I thought this was your trap."

"I don't think so." Georgiana said coldly, "Tell me, what should I do?"

"Toussaint Louverture, only he can solve this problem." Talleyrand said firmly, "And his constitution."

Georgiana sneered, "You want an ambitious man to give up his ambition?"

"You need to understand that he established himself as First Consul because Napoleon also established himself as First Consul, but Napoleon did not establish himself as First Consul for life. He did so. He did so to challenge Napoleon.

challenge."

"What?"

"If he wins, he proves that he is greater than Napoleon. This is a shortcut to success."

Georgiana couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"How is he going to prove he won?"

"Maybe it was the military aspect at first, but now I don't know." Talleyrand shook his head, "Maybe it was to compare who is more charming."

Georgiana had nothing against dark-skinned leaders, Kingsley Shacklebolt being that.

"I don't want him to lead Europe," Georgiana said coldly, "Especially from an island."

"Napoleon came from the island too."

"That's the Mediterranean, not the Caribbean." She resisted and said, "And I don't think his knowledge is as profound as Napoleon's."

Talleyrand said nothing.

"Find a way to let Toussaint Louverture live, Georgiana." Talleyrand said after a moment, "Also, let him surrender to us. Surrender is not slavery."

"It's hard to say." Georgiana looked at Talleyrand's luxurious house. "The place I live in is not as luxurious as yours."

"I don't want to lose money to the Duke of Orange. If this is the first of its kind, Louisiana may also have to pay money to the Bourbon royal family, so that they will have more funds for restoration." Talleyrand said, "I am also opposed to selling Louisiana.

That."

"What other way can we do?"

"That's why God sent you." Talleyrand said in compliment, "You are the real angel of peace."

Georgiana smiled and shook her head.

"That's easy for you to say. Do you know how many people want Toussaint Louverture's life?"

"There are also many people who want Napoleon's life." Talleyrand said pointedly, "Do you know how the Russians treat prisoners?"

Georgiana said nothing.

"Some British people do have the heart of a king." Talleyrand stood up, "Even if she is a witch."

After saying that, he dragged his lame leg away.

She thought of the cold and wet island Napoleon said...

Is that island really a small island in the Caribbean?
