Chapter 2294 scarlet woman(8)

As Bonaparte said before, few farmers are literate and do not have a broad vision of the world. These hard-working farmers never look beyond their own farms and the markets they love to go to. They are satisfied

In the present life, be docile enough to obey the preaching of the church.

For these people who belong to the past, their only hope is to live well in an unchanging world. "Change" is not necessarily a good thing for them.

The French take it for granted that priests are the kind of people who can fool people and that the villagers will be deceived. When they occupied Belgium, they demolished many cathedrals and seminaries and promoted "freedom and equality" to the Belgian people.

, which aroused fierce resistance from the locals.

The Jacobins were in power at the time. In Condorcet's vision, the public spirit of all citizens should be shaped through Enlightenment philosophy, but Robespierre and Marat opposed this.

All in all, the education reform was a catastrophic failure. The thousands of new primary schools envisioned were not completed. France's original secondary schools, colleges, and even military schools were abolished, and only science, business, and agriculture were taught.

Central schools were opened, and also opened in Belgium and the Rhine region, which were exactly the same as those established in France.

This is also the focus of Robespierre's reforms - equality, including test scores, but character building must be perfected.

The general in charge of attacking Belgium at that time was Jourdan, the son of a surgeon. Just one month before the Thermidorian coup, the Austrian troops deployed in the Low Countries were organized by Carnot and Saint-Just in Fleurus.

The artillery attack was really shaking the earth. Austria, which was originally better equipped, was defeated and defeated.

After this battle, the French occupied Brussels again, and occupied Liege and Antwerp almost at the same time as Robespierre's fall. Even if the fresh water would freeze, the river outside Amsterdam froze in 1795, and it would also freeze in Amsterdam.

The British Royal Navy ships cruising outside the city were frozen, and weather conditions that allowed cavalry to cross the river on ice were rare. Jourdan had no military education and had only participated in the American Revolutionary War.

Only with self-confidence can you achieve things, and this is also the importance of a sound personality. However, the temporary representatives from Brussels, Antwerp, Mechelen, Leuven, and Namur jointly drafted a declaration and refused to recognize the orders of the French and the universal mandate of the French Revolution.

The world principle is "freedom and equality".

At first, the revolutionaries did not believe it. They felt that most Belgians were simply deceived by fallacies and prejudices, coupled with some deceitful words, and by those French exiles who had betrayed the Estates-General and worked for the old rulers.

Eyes. But for Belgian civilians, there is no difference between the French and the Austrians who originally ruled here. It is not that they hate being occupied. What angers them is the outsiders' contempt for the priests and faith.

They set up sentries outside the church and seized sacramental supplies, crosses, flagons and silverware. No matter whether it was day or night, there would be conflicts between Belgians and French soldiers. The Jacobins were insulted, attacked and chased in the street.

, and even sentries will be killed. But they are still very popular in some places, such as the "little fishmongers" in Brussels. They were originally oppressed by the big fishmongers, but later they found that the new order rescued them, so they changed

Faith, unwilling to continue to be deceived by "priests and monks", supports defenders of human rights.

Originally, the French government agreed to give minimal interference to the Netherlands and let the Dutch shape the future of their republic. It is true that he has not set foot on Dutch soil, but what happened to the Industrial Credit Bank?

At this time, someone retorted. Augereau's dissolution of the Dutch Parliament does not count as interference? The "Governor of the Netherlands" amending the constitution and installing his own people does not count as interference? They are members of the French government, and Napoleon's intervention can at least make them a little more peaceful.

There were quite a few pro-British, pro-Prussian and exiles in the Netherlands. After the French army crossed the frozen river in 1795, it wiped out the monarchy and the British-Prussian forces. Compared with the well-organized and disciplined French army, when the British-Prussian army retreated

They looted entire cities and villages on a large scale, which was like reenacting the scenes during the Seven Years' War.

Unlike the "Potato War", the Seven Years' War was famous for setting fire to cities and causing heavy losses in field battles, reducing everything in its path to scorched earth.

History is written by people, and the standards for measuring justice are different for individuals and nations. Starting from Henry IV, France wanted to become the suzerain of the small German princely states. However, the French king during the reign of Frederick II was

Louis XV was more difficult to deal with than Czarina Elizabeth I and Queen Maria Theresa of Austria.

Frederick promised the French king to use the Rhine River as the border between the two countries, but he expected that sooner or later the French would cross the Rhine River. At that time, Britain was expanding its colonies and lacked military resources, so it "purchased" soldiers from the German princes.

The public price of each soldier is 7 to 8 pounds, but the actual transaction price will be higher, and half of their salary will fall into the pockets of the princes.

Starting from Frederick I, the German princes have been following the example of Versailles. In short, as long as France is held at the border of the Rhine, Prussia can continue to expand on the right bank of the Rhine. Prussia is the "natural enemy" of the church state, and they are born with the responsibility of secularization

How could it be possible to send an ambassador to the Vatican to serve as a special envoy?

The death knell of the country's subjugation has sounded. Some people choose to take advantage of the opportunity to make profits, while others resist to the death, poison Napoleon, and cause chaos in France. In this way, who knows who will be divided.

Alexander VI had a poison called Cantrera. The composition of this poison is unknown. One is because of the technical conditions at the time and it could not be tested. The other is because the victims who died of Cantrera were all red.

Cardinal, no one would want to dissect the remains of a cardinal.

There are so many poisons in the world, from plants, animals, and chemically synthesized ones, who knows which one they are?

Conciliation with the Church was one of Napoleon's strengths, but he did not make full use of it, and to make matters worse, no matter how much Bonaparte wanted to pretend to be the "Sun King", a piece of the past followed him.

He was once a Jacobin, and it was because of Robespierre's discovery that he first came to prominence in the Battle of Toulon. And because of his close relationship with the Jacobins, he was investigated after the Thermidor coup, and

It was hidden in the snow for a while, and it wasn't until the Portuguese Moon Riot that Barras remembered it.

How can a person who attacks the people get the love and support of the people? But when Napoleon ran back to Paris from Egypt, he received a hero's welcome. After all, there was the Directory for comparison. According to Matilda's inquiries, the attendees

People still believe that he can create a new world and usher in a new, happy century.

"Didn't anyone else notice the abnormality that just happened?" Georgiana asked after a while.

"Some people have noticed." Matilda looked at the serious-looking members of the guard, "The atmosphere has changed now."

"What didn't they say?"

"Just pretend you don't know." Matilda said, "Everyone is waiting to see what happens."

Georgiana looked around. There were several eyes looking at her just now, but now they all changed their eyes.

"Keep asking," said Georgiana.

Matilda looked very unhappy.

"What's wrong?"

"Everyone knows that I am your maid. As soon as I get close to them, they change the subject. I also let others inquire about what I just said."

Georgiana wanted to curse, but she held back.

She thought of the problem too simply, thinking that it would be easy to promote sugar beet cultivation in Belgium.

She was so wrong, and then she remembered the "clothing show" held in Bruges, and she wished she could turn back time.

Bonaparte seemed to be right when he scolded her last night. In Belgium, you have to be more solemn.

She originally wanted Matilda to get something to drink, but then she thought that the drink might be poisoned and gave up.

Damn it, when will this dance end?
