Harry Potter Morning Light
Chapter 2257 Fierce Frenzy (17)
A part of the border of the Republic of Batavia is on the south bank of the Scheldt River, which means that the outlet of the Scheldt River is controlled by the Dutch. Even if the French occupy Antwerp and ships cannot go out to sea, it is just a inland port.
The ancient Greeks pursued four virtues: wisdom, bravery, justice, and temperance.
In his later years, Plato believed that temperance is higher than bravery, because temperance is the harmony of reason and desire, and the world of Sparta will never be peaceful.
Before the scandal of embezzlement of public funds came out at the Royal Navy Timber Factory, the British war faction once had the upper hand, and the ambassador repeatedly used the Malta problem to provoke Bonaparte. At this time, Russia formed an armed neutral alliance composed of Sweden, Denmark, and Prussia. After bombarding Copenhagen, it even expelled Britain from the Baltic Sea. Only then did the peace faction replace them.
After the bombardment of Copenhagen, although the door to the Baltic Sea was wide open, the development of trade is not based on hegemony alone. Besides, the people in the country are not willing to continue to pay income tax.
Norway was established around the 10th century AD, and the Swedish king Olaf Triggvasson was once in exile in England. At that time, Northern Europe was still in the era of Viking pirates. When Olaf tried not to listen to the wishes of the people and was unwilling to make peace with the Norwegians, a magistrate formed up and said, "This king does not allow anyone to advise him, he Only listen to what pleases him, he is trying to rule the Norwegians, which no Swedish king would have dared to think about, and it will make many people live in a state of insecurity because of it. So as your countryman, I will tell you , you had better make peace with the King of Norway, and give him your daughter as a wife, and if you do not do what we ask, we will overthrow and kill you, and endure no more restlessness and lawlessness, our Mr. That's what people did, they threw five kings into the well near Mullahan, and those kings made us angry just like you."
When the magistrate had finished speaking, the words were greeted with the clang of the weapons they carried, and the king, feeling the ominous omen, then offered to follow the custom of all Swedish kings, a typical example of the right of resistance.
Even if the Rees River is not as large as the Yellow River, and still carries so much silt, if a hole is dug at random to build a canal, even if the tragic situation of the Yellow River's seizure of the Huaihe River does not happen, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Sometimes outsiders think that this is the problem. After the canal is dredged, the towns along the line will prosper, but if it is really repaired as they imagined, it will not be water conservancy, but water damage.
East Netherland and West Netherland are completely two styles. East Netherland is close to Germany, while West Netherland is close to the sea and trades with countries such as Florence and Spain. It looks much more "fashionable". .
The Netherlands has a more commercial atmosphere. Their land no longer grows grain for export trade, but flowers and vegetables. The upper class in Belgium also easily accepted French food imports, and they could develop light industry without so many agricultural populations, just as they stole technology from Britain.
The serf system in Germany began to disintegrate in the 13th century, and in the Netherlands and Belgium in the 14th century. However, the destruction of the Thirty Years War and the division of Germany further promoted the backwardness of the German economy, and the disintegrated serf system revived, especially in North Germany and Northeast Germany was the most prominent. Serfdom also existed in Russia, and the French Revolution completely abolished serfdom.
She wondered whether the steam engine and the jenny spindle would kill slavery, with so many slaves growing cotton in North America. But serfdom cannot be eliminated without improved agriculture, and those slaves who grow cotton are also serfs.
The Americans did not improve the land, but occupied the low-cost operation of the colonial agricultural model.
The Dutch have put greenhouses into business, not to grow vegetables, but to grow tropical medicinal plants. This greenhouse was built at Leiden University and was designed by a Frenchman.
Building a greenhouse requires investment of capital and cost, especially the cost of fuel for growing vegetables in a greenhouse. The Belgians do not think it is necessary to spend so much money on growing vegetables, but they think it is okay to build a flower garden. The French Renaissance was greatly influenced by Spain and Antwerp, especially the late Mannerism, which was basically passed on from the north.
Mannerism is easily confused with Baroque. Baroque is meant to be irregular pearls, which are exaggerated and magnificent. Mannerism magnifies this exaggeration, making it look more asymmetrical and harmonious, rather than the freshness and balance of the early Renaissance.
Lana was sent to Antwerp this time because he embezzled the military expenses of the Guards to decorate the new house. The new greenhouse in Antwerp looks like a palace, or it looks like the Taj Mahal. It is as high as a three-story building with steel brackets. Painted in Napoleon's favorite green paint.
After entering through the carved door, the first thing you see is a wall. Maybe the designer is not sure about the steel support, or it may be to make it have a place for sculptures like the facade of the building. There is a big wall in that area. An open space, let alone a dance, is enough for horseback riding and dressage. After passing through the wall, you enter the greenhouse. There is still running water inside. It looks like a stream, but it is actually recycled water, which can be used to irrigate plants.
The theme of today's ball is the Middle Ages, and there are a lot of people dressed up in strange ways. The neckline with organ pleats was once popular in Holland, and Rubens wore it like that in the portrait. She doubts that those people turned over the old antiques at home. Came out and wore it.
The clothes Bertin designed for her used a lot of lace, tulle and broken diamonds. The narcissus is very reminiscent of blue, as well as the embroidery of narcissus. The most important thing is her sleeves. As long as she dances, the tulle will Flying, looks like a pair of wings.
Bonaparte didn't dress up as Zeus or anything, he just wore a more gorgeous coat and held a flute in his hand. He was dressed as a bard.
In addition to dancing, several sculptures were placed in the venue, which were used to decorate the port of Antwerp. The original plan to build a giant with feet on both sides of the river like Rhodes Island was shelved. It may not be possible to use stone materials to repair such a large building, and it is too expensive to use copper, but people are still willing to repair landmark buildings, such as a larger giant sculpture or bronze statue.
Because Lana sank stones into the water, if you don’t use a punt to enter Antwerp port, you need to hire a navigator to lead the way. It seems that it is no longer the giant named "ant" who blackmails the passing ships.
Augereau also came. Although he was dismissed and retired, he was still able to participate in this occasion. Before the band played music, the accompanying officials brought some oil paintings and returned them to the Dutch parliamentarians.
These oil paintings were collected from the Netherlands by the Bourbon Dynasty or the Directorate. Even though the Netherlands School of Painting had produced a lot of oil paintings, there were not many left after passing through the Spanish royal family, the Austrian royal family, the Bourbon royal family, etc., Brussels The mayor actually gave her a painting "full of deep meaning".
All that Bonaparte returned were from the "previous dynasty", and he didn't have any of the ones he looted. She didn't know if the generals present realized it, maybe they regarded it as a diplomatic event.
Just these few paintings seem to be enough to repair this greenhouse.
She couldn't help thinking of the discussion before going to bed the night before. She suggested that he play the fairy king in "A Midsummer Night's Dream", but he still felt that comedy is not needed, tragedy is the best classroom.
Then he talked about the fate of the Trojans after the Trojan War. Hector's widow, Andromache, was captured and made a slave by Achilles' younger brother, who was held in Hector's arms and blessed His son, who would be stronger than his father in the future, was thrown to his death.
As for Athena, who helped the Argos to win, her temple was insulted, and it was Hera who had the last laugh, because Hera was the goddess of the Argos.
The bustling city that once provided for her and worshiped her as a patron saint was burned to the ground, her priestesses were turned into female captives and taken away by lot, and the banks of the Scamanders were full of women's cries.
No one loves her, no one from Argives thanks her, even Agamemnon didn't keep the promise and kidnapped the priestess Cassandra.
At this time, Athena told Poseidon that she was going to give the Argos a painful return, so the story of Odyssey came into being.
Poseidon asked her at this time, "Why are you so moody, hate too much, and love so casually?"
She didn't know if he said these words to her, maybe he was also condemning her.
After all, Andromache did not put aside his love for Hector, cut off his beautiful long hair, went barefoot, dressed in slave clothes, covered his face with a robe, and occasionally recalled being a free man, The scene of walking on the streets of Troy.
She seemed to understand why Mr. Jenner chose to return to England after being treated politely by the French.
She doesn't know how long this method can be used, but it works every day.
So she called the military doctor and walked towards those gossiping people. Bean planting is also being promoted in Belgium. Now, use these few "cuts".
