Chapter 1488: "honeycomb"

Chapter 1488 "The Hive"

What rights and obligations does a citizen enjoy?

First, the right to vote and the right to be elected. Compared with the old times, the seats occupied by the bourgeoisie in the parliament have increased significantly after the Great Revolution. Although in theory everyone enjoys political power, in reality, workers, peasants, and small craftsmen have entered the parliament. Very few of them.

Every resident of Santo Domingo can participate in the duel as a representative, fighting for the nation, for freedom, and to avoid greater casualties.

Wait, young man, how do you know that those colonists will really give Santo Domingo freedom as they say? They broke the agreement more than once.

So Napoleon added another condition. Santo Domingo is an inseparable part of France. If other countries occupy Santo Domingo, it will be regarded as occupying the French mainland. France is the protector and guardian of Santo Domingo, just like the father and child.

Second, only citizens of the country can hold public office and enjoy certain economic rights. Santo Domingo can use French capital to develop its own natural resources, enjoy medical services, rest rights and other socially recognized, rather than personal arbitrarily The power of assertion.

For example, someone who has nothing to do and feels that he has the right to be the ruler of the world. He has that power, but is it recognized by society?

There are plain and mountain factions in the National Convention. This does not refer to those members who come from the plains and mountains, but to where they sit. Radical members sit on higher benches every time they meet. Known as the mountain faction, Siers is a plain faction. Not only do they sit in the lowest part of the National Convention, but they also sit on low stools.

The last time Georgiana used her life to keep the seat of the Speaker of the Senate of Siers, this time he took out the constitution of the constitutional monarchy he had dealt with against Napoleon, and used it to deal with Dusan Louvidour. All people are equal before the law, of course, including the first ruling, he cannot, like the king, can arbitrarily give orders to torture free citizens.

This is what the people of Santo Domingo fear and care most about.

Some previous plantation owners were indeed lacking in humanity. They could dispose of slaves at will in their plantations. Torture also existed in France, but they were all carried out after trial. Ordinary crimes such as theft and financial disputes are all handled by the courts where the locals act as judges. Only the death penalty requires the governor's verdict, and the police power is also handed over to the locals, so that the people of Santo Domingo enjoy judicial autonomy.

The literati loyal to Bonaparte gave Toussaint Louvidul and his gang the title of Tyrant Party, and he killed those who opposed him, even his nephew. If he appoints judges, feudal tribunals may be formed to oppress and eliminate his opponents. Therefore, the selection of judges will be handed over to the people to elect, and they will elect the most just person they feel is the judge. .

The soldiers are not as cruel as Rochambeau. While performing their duties cruelly, they also doubt the correctness of their actions. Of course, saving the country and the people is not the same as using force to enslave others.

During the Battle of Marengo, Napoleon had already reached a desperate situation. Later, Desai came to rescue him. When Commander Kelerman and his heavy cavalry began to countercharge, he also called "Long live the Republic".

If Santo Domingo's conditions are not accepted, no one can help, because perhaps one day Santo Domingo will have seats in the French parliament, just like Corsica. When the foggy moon coup, Napoleon He was almost stabbed by a dagger from a Corsican congressman.

Civilized people have a humane spirit. People cannot bite like wild beasts. How about sending **** to a fair and just duel?

Napoleon's restoration of slavery in Santo Domingo is a rumor, and slavery will no longer be restored in areas where slavery has been abolished. He appreciates the courage of the people of Santo Domingo.

Before Santo Domingo’s response, military operations carried out by the French army to maintain territorial integrity were permitted, but they were no longer aimed at plains and mountains. After Caesar eliminated the last Gaul who supported independence, Gaul became In a province, it is French citizens who support the republic. They must be issued with ID cards, and they will enjoy the rights of citizens in the French occupied areas such as Port-au-Prince.

This is undoubtedly a dangerous gamble. The officials of the commune in France with more than 5,000 people are appointed by the central government. The restoration of the right to vote in Santo Domingo is actually very detrimental to centralization, but everyone in Paris knows that the resumption of elections is a fraud. , Napoleon would not, like Robespierre and Louis XVI, leave the question of life and death to the votes.

Georgiana read a book about the history of the Great Revolution. At that time, there were many royalists who remained in the official system of the Republic. The royalists in these counties once asked: How to destroy the Republic? Destroy the credit of the coupons.

A coupon can be understood as paper money. When paper money is depreciated to the point that farmers refuse to use it to pay land rent, it is no different from waste paper. Even if the harvest in 1792 is good, the bread in the city is still scarce, accompanied by soaring prices. There is also a sense of despair. When the queen known as the Austrian woman fell to the ground, the people on the Place de la Concorde were cheering "Long live the Republic".

Since Marie Antoinette had chosen to be silent when it was time to speak, she did the opposite, even if one day she would be called the "evil mediator".

The situation in France is not good. Although the title and title have been cancelled, the former aristocracy still has a certain influence. Some aristocratic families such as the Marquis de Ferriere still live in groups of servants. The secretive protection of the servants, the daughter of the Marquis de Saint Simon, who replaced Giorgioanna, was only harassed. It was also because her father had a problem with her father’s political views on inheritance. It was not like a **** head thrown at the house like Madame Dubali. Go in.

Ms. Dubari was betrayed by a slave, and that slave's heart was toward the revolutionaries. He did not pay attention to the threat of the former powerful Madame Dubari at all.

Later, even if Mrs. Dubali confessed to exchanging her private gemstones for her own life, it was useless. This was a problem that money could not solve. How long could she survive even if she shouted and waited before she was tortured?

The French sent reinforcements this time, but these soldiers were not armed, but military doctors and staff officers. They brought a lot of printing presses to the past, and these people had produced a lot of leaflets in Italy.

Dusan Louvidul did not abolish slavery. Even though he himself was a slave, he knew that slavery could quickly restore the economy, so he still forced slaves to perform labor after signing a trade contract with the United Kingdom and the United States.

He is not the same as Guadeloupe, the leader of the slave rebel army who would rather blew himself up than surrender.

If he is allowed to be the leader of the world, what future will he lead mankind to?

Georgiana wanted to see him and hear what kind of plan he would tell. Napoleon's current goal is to stabilize commodity prices and food prices. These are probably not problems that the monarchy can solve.

When the Patriotic War of the French Republic started, he promised to the volunteers that if they were killed, their families would be supported. Of course the lawyers didn’t do this in the governorship era. Napoleon was so busy forgetting that he could only take care of it. Legally take care of veterans. Since the pawnshop said that he was a charity organization, Georgian asked the military widows to take their ID cards and **** tickets back for free.

Civilians have been unable to tolerate excessive poverty, fatigue and war. They only hope for peace. Even the British Royal Navy who are serving on ships have the same idea. Many of them have been arrested for military service.

Even Louis XVI ordered the return of winter clothing under 80 francs to the pawn. The women of the Women’s Association cleared out the old items under 20 francs and placed them in three warehouses. Many people lined up to lead things.

This feeling is like a woman who is strangled by tights. After taking it off, the feeling of being able to breathe freely is the same. The United States will not eliminate slavery for the time being, because many of its founders are slaves. Lord, they have a lot of influence in Congress. What's more important is that Jefferson himself was not particularly concerned about the release of slaves. He was more concerned about economic development and the expenditure of the federal government.

If you change to a leader, you may not take Georgiana’s proposal seriously. How can someone use a duel to determine the fate of the country?

One, this is just a dream, and two, Napoleon’s plan to attack Italy is also a fantasy. Only Robespierre Jr. took it seriously and regarded it as a life-saving medicine for dead horses.

Doing something is better than staying silent and doing nothing. The document and the activities of Ludrell and Siers allowed Georgiana to be released from house arrest, but she was not allowed to attend the military parade. Waiting in the Tuileries Palace.

Bonaparte’s study has one more decoration, a model of the Spanish battleship Saint Trinidad, which is placed in Marie Antoinette’s small living room, on the ship that carried him back from Egypt. Next to the French fast battleship Venetian.

Because of its huge size and four decks, St. Trinidad is also known as the Mare of Spain. It was the most spectacular warship in the 18th century, but it was almost captured by Nelson’s Victory.

I heard that yellow fever also occurred in Spain in 1800, and at least 60,000 people died. Perhaps yellow fever is replacing smallpox and becoming a deadly plague.

Not long after the door of the study opened, Bonaparte, wearing the uniform of the French Academy, walked in and went straight to the small living room.

His expression was serious, and he walked up to Georgian swiftly, looking at her condescendingly.

"Remember that overseas court?" Bonaparte asked.

"I remember." She said blankly, "Those soldiers had gone through a tough battle and felt that they couldn't support them, so they went back to Paris without authorization."

"Do you remember what the verdict was at that time?"

She tried to remember.

"The company commander was convicted of fleeing from battle. He was sentenced to three years in prison for committing this crime on the battlefield. The chief judge believed that the fatigue and sacrifice of the troops mentioned by the company commander could not be a reason for the company not to go to war. These difficulties can be overcome as long as the fighters do their best and the senior officials and leadership can overcome. Luvidul is very cunning and will be kind to people like him. He will be against me sooner or later. I am very happy that you can surpass yourself."

"What?" she said incredulously.

"War can stimulate people's potential, and sometimes people need to be forced to know how powerful they are."

"Have you ever thought that people can do anything if they are pressed!" She said angrily.

He laughed.

"It’s not frustration that knocks you down, but your mentality when facing frustration. Every French soldier has a marshal hat in his backpack. It’s a pity that some of them don’t want to wear that hat."

"A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier." Georgiana curled her lips and said, "You count me!"

"I didn't count you. That's why I promoted Ledrell and Leoncourt." He sat down on the sofa opposite Georgianna. "They will give the king good advice when he is at a loss."

"Not everyone cares about fame and title so much. Leon, conscience and soul are more important than foreign objects."

"I told you that as long as he can live, he won't care about the lives of millions of other people." Bonaparte said coldly, "This is what people who really grew up on the battlefield understand."

"You are not a person." She shook her head.

"I know, I am a lion in the wilderness." He said arrogantly, "Do you want me to die too?"

She did not speak, she felt tired.

How can a woman control a lion.

"If Rousseau and I have never been in this world, it might be a good thing for the world." Bonaparte said flatly. The shackles are the source of evil for future generations. When people lose these enjoyments, the unpleasantness they bring is far greater than the happiness they get when they get them. People will feel sad for losing these enjoyments, even though they can’t make them happy if they have these enjoyments. ."

"On the origin of human inequality." Georgiana said.

"And Emile, the closer we are to enjoyment, happiness tends to be farther and farther away from us."

"So you want to leave the source of my ‘happiness’?" Georgiana said incomprehensibly.

"Nature gives humans tears because she bestows them with the most compassionate heart." Bonaparte said, "I didn't want to cry, but you told me that people are not sculptures, of course they can cry."

"You just said you were a lion in the wilderness."

"This is the source of my pain. I am a human being or a monster." Bonaparte raised his hand and pointed it at Georgiana like a gun. "So I shot the Sphinx."

"how do you feel?"

"Nothing." He put his hand down "It's just a pile of rocks."

"If I tell you, is there really a sphinx?"

"Can you tell me **** it?"

"No."

"Why?"

"You have to tell me where you got those crocodile sculptures." Georgiana said.

He laughed weirdly.

"What if I don't tell you?"

"Then you won't know the way to kill the Sphinx." Georgiana said with her arm folded.

He looked straight at her.

"What are you looking at?" She said angrily.

"Looking at the masterpiece." Bonaparte smiled. "Who do you think is appropriate to preside over the duel?"

"You mean Santo Domingo and France?"

"No, it's me and your husband, who will preside over this duel?"

She was speechless.

"A man who would not even dare to agree to a duel invitation challenged me." Bonaparte sneered and said, "I hope Luvidul will refuse. He can continue to hide in his plantation and daydream."

"How about we make a bet?"

"What to bet on?"

"I bet that Louvidour will come to France and accept a duel." Georgiana said.

"What do you want when you win?" He said leisurely.

"The divorce in the code is changed..."

"No way!"

She stamped her feet with anger.

"Think about other conditions, do you want to be a princess?"

"What do I want that!" she said angrily.

He did not answer her question.

"I used to love her very much." Bonaparte said softly, "but she disappointed me too much."

Georgiana did not ask who that "she" was.
