Fox of France

Stafford's pupils shrank, and he grabbed Oli Kai by the collar: "You fucking want to coerce me?"

"Sir, you misunderstood, humble...how dare you?" Oli Kai hurriedly said, "My humble, humble just want, I just want to treat you to a meal..."

Stafford loosened O'Kelly's collar, looked at him, and said after a while, "Who are you planning to use me to scare?"

"Sir, you are wise!" Oli Kai immediately gave a thumbs up with a flattering smile.

"Sir, you don't know that there is a beer hall on Orkan Street. It was originally a humble place. Later, Jarvis of the detective team—sir, you don't know, that kid is nothing. There are many people under his command, so he insisted on grabbing that street. Commander, if you are willing to help, let the humble official invite you to sit in the beer hall. Did you steal it?"

"Well," Stafford thought for a while, and then said, "Captain O'Kelly, you are really capable!"

"Thank you, sir, for your compliment!" O'Kelly said quickly.

"What beer hall are you in?"

"Amethyst Brasserie."

"You get paid every month on that Orkan Street? I'll take half," Stafford said.

"Look at what you said, sir. The money I collected on this street was originally collected for you, sir. How can I take half of your money? Naturally, these are all yours. You want to spend the money, sir. There are so many places. To tell you the truth, sir, as long as Jarvis and his fellows know that the humble official is yours... Ah, no, it's your dog. They have to give the humble official a little face in other places, right? No! To give face to a lowly official is to not give face to the chief, and to not to give face to the chief is to not to give face to the United Kingdom. With this face, the humble official can hold its head up in front of them."

Stafford laughed and said, "O'Kelly, you're really nice. You have a good conscience. But, how could you have seized them here? Could it be that you really have dealings with them?"

"Oh sir, I don't dare to talk nonsense. Even if I have the guts, I don't dare. But sir, where did the guns of the rebels come from? There are only two ways, one is from France. A good gun from someone. Generally speaking, this gun is only available to the regular elite rebels. There is also a British gun they captured."

Speaking of this, O'Kelly paused for a while, and then said: "Sir, you know, there are old and new British guns. The new ones are the rifled guns equipped by your soldiers, sir. If such guns fall into the hands of the rebels, It must be given priority to those regular elite rebels, even if there are not many of them. The other type is the old-fashioned smoothbore guns used by our security forces.

Sir, you also know that our "security army" is okay to control the common people, but in terms of fighting, it is really not good. At most, we will fight those rebels. If we encounter regular and elite rebels, we are really no match. But those rebels are the worst things. They usually don't dare to fight with you officers, so they just bully us. By the way, which day will our entire security force not throw away their guns? In this way, what kind of gun is the most in the hands of the rebels? That is of course the gun used by our security forces. Especially those bandits, most of the guns in their hands must be exactly the same as ours, or in other words, they were our guns. So if you seize something, let the people under the humble position hand in all the guns, wouldn't it be enough? There must be more. "

"That's good, but there's no need to put away all the guns. Generally speaking, even if you win a battle, as long as you don't wipe out the enemy army, the enemy will take some weapons with you when they run away. So, a battle The number of weapons that can be seized in battle is far less than the number of casualties of the enemy. How many rebels have we killed?" asked Battalion Commander Stafford.

"More than a hundred!" Olikai said, "There are more than a hundred rebels, men and women, old and young. It's a pity that they are in the swamp, and we can't take all their bodies with us. Come out. Not even just chop off the head."

"O'Kelly, we're not savages who count heads." Stafford frowned. "According to this calculation, there are more than ten guns, which should be about the same. Well, are these guns okay?"

"Of course there is no problem. Didn't we kill more than forty people? We recovered a lot of guns from those people. They can just be seized."

"Very good." Stafford nodded. "Besides guns, there should be other things. You have to prepare these little things for me."

"Sir, I'll take care of things, so you can rest assured. Absolutely no problem." Captain Olikai said, patting his chest.

"Okay, go back and have a good rest, you will destroy their potatoes tomorrow." Stafford's mood improved a lot.

Because they were equipped with new "swamp shoes", on this day, like Stafford and the others, there were not a few British troops who entered the swamp to chase the rebels, but most of the British troops returned home in defeat. Not many. In contrast, although Stamford suffered a lot of losses, he was also one of the few who really caught the rebels, and there were still many captured. So later, he was praised as an "expert in swamp warfare" and received an award. Of course, this is something.

In France, however, when the three brothers Joseph, Napoleon, and Lucien were discussing issues, an unprecedented serious dispute occurred.

The dispute was sparked by Napoleon's intention to introduce a reform of the French legal system.

In the original history, as a fan of Rome, Napoleon, following the Roman law system, was led by the President of Dali, Troncher, the Roman jurist Malville, the government judicial administrator, Preamena, and the judge of the Navy Court, Porta. A Civil Code was created with the help of a legal expert. This is the most famous "Code Napoleon" in history.

This code has a very high status in history. It is the earliest civil code in a bourgeois country. It affirms the legitimacy of the bourgeoisie and peasants occupying the land and property of nobles and churches, and guarantees that they will not be violated by feudal forces; it denies feudal privileges, establishes the principle of freedom and equality of the bourgeoisie, and stipulates that every citizen has equal civil rights and capacity for conduct The code has made clear regulations on family, marriage, inheritance and other aspects of social life. This code is the earliest civil law code in capitalist countries. It broke the feudal legislative principles, became the legislative norms of the bourgeoisie in Europe and the United States, and promoted the development of capitalism.

In later generations, there are mainly two legal systems in the world, one is the "American and British legal system" represented by the United Kingdom and the United States, also known as the "maritime legal system" or "customary legal system"; the other is the Roman legal system. The "civil law system" represented by the "Napoleonic Code" is also called the "statute law system" or simply the "civil law system", and the "civil law" in the word "civil law system" refers to the "Napoleon Civil Code" .

It is said that in the original history, after Napoleon suffered the defeat of Waterloo and was exiled again, he once sighed very much: "My military achievements in my life have been wiped out with the defeat of Waterloo. But only With my law code, it will shine forever."

Whether this statement is true is uncertain, but the "Napoleonic Code" is definitely worthy of such praise. This is a great achievement of "groundbreaking, importance, discussion, practicality and promotion".

If you want to ask Joseph whether he supports Joseph to make such a "Napoleonic Code", then Joseph is of course very supportive. Because this code first affirms the principle of people's property ownership. In the original time and space, almost 1/3 of the provisions of this code are to protect the inviolability of private ownership from different angles. This is of course the best for Joseph who made a fortune in the Great Revolution.

"Since we have made a fortune by relying on violence, we should set rules to prohibit others from making a fortune in this way in the future. We must not let others go our way, and finally make us have nowhere to go." Yes Joseph has always been convinced of this. In this regard, Napoleon's code is to elevate the interests of the family to the interests of the country. How could Joseph not support it?

But after discussing the basic principles of the Civil Code, Joseph began to discuss political arrangements with Napoleon. On this issue, their contradictions were revealed.

At the beginning, Napoleon only mentioned his intention to ease the conflict with the Holy See. During the Great Revolution, because the Holy See firmly stood on the side of the counter-revolution, and because the revolutionary government inherited the fine tradition of "not enough money, grab the church" in France, France and the Holy See completely turned their backs. During the period of Robespierre, France simply banned Catholicism and replaced it with the so-called "Rationalism".

After Robespierre was finished, the attack on the church was reduced (because by this time, the churches in France had been robbed), but the government and the Holy See did not reach a settlement, so although the government did not take much care ( The government has no ability and time to manage it), and the folk Catholic belief has recovered somewhat, but at least for now, the Catholic Church is still an "illegal organization" legally.

However, the influence of this "illegal organization" in France is still very deep-rooted. At least in the countryside, there are devout Catholics everywhere. Therefore, Napoleon felt that if he wanted to further strengthen his position, he needed to reach a settlement with the Holy See.

For this, Joseph is also very supportive. Because of religion or something, it is really easy to use as the opium of the people. If there is no religion, how can the people endure future suffering?

However, when talking about this matter, Napoleon's words made Joseph frown.

"Even the emperor of Rome knew to use Christianity to endorse his status. Therefore, the crown of the ancient Roman emperor was worn by the pope. Although the pope was only the emperor's servant. But compared to calling himself a god , but this way can make the common people believe more.”

"Napoleon." Joseph frowned, "There is one very important matter that I have always hoped to have the opportunity to talk to you about the future political system of France."
